TABLE OF CONTENTS
PART I
Item 1. Business.
Soyodo Group Holdings, Inc. (Soyodo) was incorporated on May 15, 1997 as Quixit, Inc. under the laws of the state of Colorado. On January 16, 2003, TOP Group Corp., a New York corporation, purchased 4,400,000 shares of the company's common stock, which represented 88% of the company's outstanding capital stock at that time. Prior to the change in control, the company's purpose was to investigate opportunities to be acquired by a company that desired to be registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In March 2003, the company changed its state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware, and changed its name from Quixit, Inc. to TOP Group Holdings, Inc. In August of 2005, the company changed its name from TOP Group Holdings, Inc. to Soyodo Group Holdings, Inc.
In the second quarter of 2005, the company decided to commence a chain of member-only stores in locations with large Chinese immigrant populations, offering Chinese culture-related merchandise such as books, pre-recorded CDs, stationery, gifts, and sports goods. Subsequently, six retail stores had been opened. On June 30, 2006, however, the Company started to concentrate on its wholesale operation and sold to its majority shareholder & principal executive officer, all the six retail stores. Then on November 30, 2006, the company decided to go back to its original plan of investigate opportunities to be acquired and sold to its majority shareholder the remaining wholesale operation.
Omphalos Corp. was incorporated on February 13, 1991 under the laws of Republic of China (TWN), initially serving as a sales agent for an equipment and used machine dealer. Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.) was incorporated on October 30, 2001 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. was incorporated on March 23, 2004 under the laws of Republic of China. All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (B.V.I.) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
On July 4, 2007, Omphalos Corp. (BVI) acquired Omphalos (TWN) and All Fine Technology Co. (TWN), through a share exchange with the shareholders of these two entities. On October 19, 2007 Omphalos (BVI) purchased All Fine Tech (BVI).
On February 5, 2008, Soyodo Group Holdings, Inc. entered into and completed the transactions contemplated under a Share Exchange Agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with each of the shareholders (the Shareholders) of Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.), a British Virgin Islands corporation, pursuant to which Soyodo purchased from the Shareholders all issued and outstanding shares of Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.) common stock in consideration for the issuance of an aggregate of 81,996,275 shares of Soyodo common stock (the "Share Exchange"). The Share Exchange resulted in a change in control of Soyodo with the Shareholders owning 81,996,275 shares of common stock of the Company out of a total of 90,191,275 issued and outstanding shares after giving effect to the Share Exchange. Shen-Peir Yang beneficially owned 55,347,485 shares of common stock and was elected a director and appointed as the Companys President. Chi Pi Yun beneficially owned 2,049,907 shares of common stock and was appointed as the Companys Chief Financial Officer. Li Shen-Ren beneficially owned 4,099,814 shares of common stock and was appointed as the Companys Chief Operating Officer. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, (i) Omphalos Corp.

Effective April 18, 2008, Soyodo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Omphalos, Corp., a Nevada corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Soyodo was merged with and into the surviving corporation, Omphalos Corp. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation became the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, and the directors and officers of Soyodo became the members of the board of directors and officers of the Company. Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware and Nevada, a Certificate of Merger. Omphalos, Corp. was incorporated on April 15, 2008, under the laws of the State of Nevada. The main purpose of the merger is to change the Soyodos name to Omphalos, Corp..
Omphalos, Corp. and these four corporations are referred to herein collectively as the "Company" or Omphalos.
Overview of Business
Omphalos, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries which serve as third-party resellers, supplies a wide range of equipment and parts including refurbished and modified reflow soldering ovens and automated optical inspection machines for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers in Taiwan and China. Omphalos also provides after sale services such as maintenance and repairs to its customers and sells parts for the equipment.
A reflow oven is a machine used primarily for reflow soldering of surface mount electronic components to printed circuit boards. Reflow soldering represents the most common means to attach a component to a circuit board, and typically consists of applying solder paste, positioning the components, and reflowing the solder in a specialized oven. The goal of the reflow process is to melt the powder particles in the solder paste, with the surfaces being joined together, and solidify the solder to create a strong metallurgical bond.
The Company serves as third-party reseller, and supplies a wide range of equipment and parts including refurbished and modified reflow soldering ovens and automated optical inspection machines for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers in Taiwan and China. The Company also provides after sale services such as maintenance and repairs to its customers and sells parts for the equipment for that purpose.
Omphalos markets its products in both Taiwan and China. Omphalos clients are mainly big name Taiwanese electronics manufacturing giants, including Quanta Computer Inc., Universal Scientific Industrial Co., and Advantech in Taiwan, and QSMC, in China.
Products
Omphalos offers a wide range of products, including the following:
Tamura N2 Reflow Ovens. Omphalos offers the Tamura N2 Reflow Oven as its preferred choice for reflow soldering. The ovens have multiple temperature controlled heat emitting infrared radiation compartments that create a phase change in flux (Small Soldier Particles) turning the solid into a liquid. When cooled in the final compartment, the flux undergoes another phase change turning from a liquid back into a solid forming a bond between the surface mount component and etched circuit board. The Tamura Line takes the additional step of being an oxygen-free environment, instead it utilizes nitrogen gas to minimize oxidation.
Gryphon Laser Marking System. This system is placed at the beginning of the SMT production line where it Laser Etches a Uniquely Identifiable 2-Dimensional Barcode onto the surface of a printed circuit board. 2D barcodes allow for more data to be physically written to the circuit board, usually the threshold is when more than 20 characters need to be written, 2D barcoding is required. The 2D barcode helps to simplify Management Information System (MIS) by making more information available offline, such as an identification number, time of fabrication, plant of fabrication, etc making it easier to track defects and finished products to their final destination. This barcode works best when combined with the Argus Management Information System throughout the fabrication process as its life will be tracked and analyzed. To date, the Company has not derived any significant revenues from this system.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company obtained 28%, 23%, 18%, 15% and 12% of the equipment and parts that it sells to its customers from five local suppliers:Mingray Co., Ltd., Keryi Instruments Co., Ltd., Shingcheng Technology Co., Ltd., Rayjer Machinery Co. Ltd., and Jiamaio Technology Co., Ltd., respectively. These vendors are all Taiwanese companies.
Marketing
Most of the Omphalos business is generated through personal relationships with its major customers. In addition, it may participate in trade shows and occasionally run advertisements in trade journals and newspapers.
Markets and Customers
Omphalos customers include a number of major electronic manufacturing companies. For the year ended December 31, 2015, only one customer, Delta Electronics Int'l (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total revenue, represented approximately 84.6% of its total revenue.
Regulations
Omphalos is not subject to any significant government regulation that is particular to its business.
Competition
Omphaloss industry is highly competitive. Omphalos believes that its principal direct competitors are the manufacturers of the equipment themselves. These include Japanese companies such as Sayaka, Tamura Furukawa and Ishikawa.
There are also a number of companies in Asia that resell refurbished equipment. They include Daichi International, Panasonic, Hitachi and Sony Corporation.
Some of these companies have significantly greater financial, technical and human resources than we do, as well as a wider range of products than we have. In addition, many of our competitors have much greater experience in marketing their products, as well as more established relationships with our target customers. Our competitors may also have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases that they can use to their benefit. As a result, we may have difficulty maintaining our market share.
We believe that our competitive edge is our responsiveness to our customers needs, both in terms of speed as well as in our ability to modify the equipment in accordance with the customers instructions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or which we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Risk Factors Related to Our Business.
We may need to raise capital to fund our operations, and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our expansion efforts.
If in the future, we are not capable of generating sufficient revenues from operations and our capital resources are insufficient to meet future requirements, we may have to raise funds to continue the development, commercialization, marketing and sale of our products.
We cannot be certain that funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital if required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our products, obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms or restrict or cease our operations and go out of business.
Our declining operating revenues may cause substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 were prepared based on the assumption that we will continue our operations as a going concern. We has net losses of $592,278 and $522,375 during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively As a result, there may be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future is dependent upon our ability to implement our business plans and upon our future profitable operations.
The success of our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain a supply of merchandise for our buyers and to attract and retain active professional buyers to create sufficient demand for our sellers.
Our ability to increase our revenue and maintain profitability depends on whether we can successfully expand the supply of merchandise available for sale and attract and retain active professional buyers to purchase the merchandise. Our ability to attract sufficient quantities of suitable merchandise and new buyers will depend on various factors, some of which are out of our control. These factors include our ability to:
| offer buyers a sufficient supply of merchandise; | |
| develop and implement effective sales and marketing strategies; | |
| comply with corporate seller requirements affecting marketing and disposition of certain categories of merchandise; | |
| efficiently catalogue, handle, store, ship and track merchandise; and | |
| achieve high levels of seller and buyer satisfaction with the trading experience. |
Omphalos is exposed to risks as a result of ongoing changes in the semiconductor and semiconductor-related industries.
The global industries in which we operate are characterized by ongoing changes, including: (1) higher capital requirements for building and operating new semiconductor and LCD fabrication plants and the resulting effect on customers ability to raise the necessary capital; (2) differing rates of market growth for, and capital investments by, various semiconductor device makers, such as memory (including NAND Flash and DRAM), logic and foundry, as well as LCD and solar manufacturers; (3) industry growth rates; (4) the increasing cost and decreasing affordability of research and development due to many factors, including decreasing line widths, the increasing number of materials, applications and process steps, and the greater complexity of process development and chip design; (5) the increasing difficulty for customers to move from product design to volume manufacturing; (6) the importance of reducing the cost of system ownership, due in part to the increasing significance of consumer electronics as a driver for semiconductor and LCD demand and the related focus on lower prices; (7) varying levels of business information technology spending; (8) the heightened importance to customers of system reliability and productivity, and the effect on demand for systems as a result of their increasing productivity, device yield and reliability; (9) the growing types and varieties of semiconductors and expanding number of applications across multiple substrate sizes, resulting in customers divergent technical demands; (10) demand for shorter cycle times for the development, manufacture and installation of manufacturing equipment; (11) the challenge to semiconductor manufacturers of moving volume manufacturing from one technology node to the next smaller technology node, and the resulting impact on the technology transition rate and the rate of investment in capital equipment; (12) price trends for certain semiconductor devices and LCDs; (13) difficulties associated with transitioning to larger substrate sizes; and (14) the increasing importance of the availability of spare parts to assure maximum system uptime. If we do not successfully manage the risks resulting from the ongoing changes occurring in the semiconductor and semiconductor-related industries, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
The industries that Omphalos serves are volatile and unpredictable.
As a supplier to the global semiconductor, computer and related industries, we are subject to business cycles, the timing, length and volatility of which can be difficult to predict and which may vary by reportable segment. The industries have historically been cyclical due to sudden changes in customers manufacturing capacity requirements and spending, which depend in part on capacity utilization, demand for customers products, and inventory levels relative to demand. The effects on Omphalos of these changes in demand, including end-customer demand, are occurring more rapidly. These changes have affected the timing and amounts of customers purchases and investments in technology, and continue to affect our orders, net sales, gross margin, contributed profit and results of operations.
We must effectively manage our resources to meet rapidly changing demand. During periods of decreasing demand for our products, we must be able to appropriately align our cost structure with prevailing market conditions, motivate and retain key employees, and effectively manage our supply chain. During periods of increasing demand, we must have sufficient inventory to meet customer demand; attract, retain and motivate a sufficient number of qualified individuals; and effectively manage our supply chain. If we are not able to timely and appropriately adapt to changes in industry cycles, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Omphalos is exposed to risks associated with a highly concentrated customer base in the semiconductor and flat panel display industries.
Our semiconductor and other customer base historically has been, and is becoming even more, highly concentrated. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we had one major customer, who accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues, represented approximately 84.6% of our total revenues. Orders from a relatively limited number of manufacturers have accounted for, and are expected to continue to account for, a substantial portion of our net sales. In addition, the mix and type of customers, and sales to any single customer, may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year. If customers do not place orders, or they delay or cancel orders, we may not be able to replace the business. As our products are configured to customer specifications, changing, rescheduling or canceling orders may result in significant, non-recoverable costs. Major customers may also seek, and on occasion receive, pricing, payment, intellectual property-related, or other commercial terms that are less favorable to us. In addition, certain customers have undergone significant ownership changes, have outsourced manufacturing activities, and/or have entered into strategic alliances or industry consortia that have increased the influence of key semiconductor manufacturers in technology decisions made by their partners, which may result in additional complexities in managing customer relationships and transactions. These factors could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Omphalos is highly dependent on two suppliers.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, Omphalos obtained 96% of the equipment and parts that it sells to its customers from five vendors. If any of these vendors was to cease supplying us with products for any reason, this would force us to find alternative sources for our products. A change in suppliers could cause a delay in availability of products and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Manufacturing interruptions or delays could affect our ability to meet customer demand, while the failure to estimate customer demand accurately could result in excess or obsolete inventory.
Our business depends on our ability to supply equipment, services and related products that meet the rapidly changing technical and volume requirements of our customers, which depends in part on the timely delivery of parts, components and subassemblies (collectively, parts) from suppliers. Some key parts may be subject to long lead-times and/or obtainable only from a single supplier or limited group of suppliers, and some sourcing or subassembly is provided by suppliers in developing regions, including China. Significant interruptions of manufacturing operations or the delivery of services as a result of: (1) the failure or inability of suppliers to timely deliver quality parts; (2) volatility in the availability and cost of materials; (3) difficulties or delays in obtaining required export approvals; (4) information technology or infrastructure failures; (5) natural disasters (such as earthquakes, floods or storms); or (6) other causes (such as regional economic downturns, pandemics, political instability, terrorism, or acts of war), could result in delayed deliveries, manufacturing inefficiencies, increased costs or order cancellations. Moreover, if actual demand for our products is different than expected, we may purchase more/fewer parts than necessary or incur costs for canceling, postponing or expediting delivery of parts. Any or all of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to effectively manage our growth, which may harm our profitability.
Our strategy envisions expanding our business. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our financial results could be adversely affected. Growth may place a strain on our management systems and resources. We must continue to refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. As we grow, we must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. We cannot assure you that we will be able to:
| meet our capital needs; | |
| expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner; | |
| allocate our human resources optimally; | |
| identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or | |
| incorporate effectively the components of any business that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth. |
If we are unable to manage our growth, our operations and our financial results could be adversely affected by inefficiency, which could diminish our profitability.
Loss of Sheng-Peir Yang, our Chief Executive Officer, could impair our ability to operate.
If we lose our key employee, Sheng-Peir Yang, our Chief Executive Officer, our business could suffer. Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified technical and management personnel. We are highly dependent on our management. Mr. Yang has an employment agreement with the Company. However, the loss of Mr. Yangs services could have a material adverse effect on our operations. If we were to lose this individual, we may experience difficulties in competing effectively, developing our technology and implementing our business strategies. We do not have key-man life insurance in place for any person working for us.
Our management team does not have extensive experience in public company matters, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
Our management team has had limited public company management experience or responsibilities. This could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable federal securities laws including filing required reports and other information required on a timely basis. There can be no assurance that our management will be able to implement and effect programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements imposed by such laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with such laws and regulations could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties and further result in the deterioration of our business.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
There has been a limited trading market for our common stock. There is no assurance of an established public trading market, which would adversely affect the ability of our investors to sell their securities in the public markets.
It is anticipated that there will continue to be a limited trading market for the Company's common stock, quoted on the OTCQB. The lack of an active public market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active public market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using common stock as consideration.
You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.
The common stock may not be actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock quoted on the OTCQB may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock, and would likely reduce the market price of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital.
The market price of our common stock may, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:
|
dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of common stock and other forms of equity securities, which we may make in connection with future capital financings to fund our operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies; | |
| announcements of new acquisitions, discoveries or other business initiatives by our competitors; | |
| our ability to take advantage of new acquisitions, discoveries or other business initiatives; | |
| quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses; | |
| changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our industry and in other industries; | |
| changes in analysts estimates affecting the Company, our competitors and/or our industry; | |
| changes in the accounting methods used in or otherwise affecting our industry; | |
| additions and departures of key personnel; | |
| fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of capital in the capital markets; and | |
|
significant sales of our common stock, including sales by the investors and/or future investors in future offerings we expect to make to raise additional capital. |
These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our common stock and/or our results of operations and financial condition.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. Investors cannot be assured of a positive return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their investment in the common stock.
If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
Our internal controls over financial reporting, while they appear to be sufficient for our needs, may have weaknesses and conditions that will need to be addressed, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
We are controlled by current officers, directors and principal stockholders.
Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 64% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. So long as our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders and their affiliates control a majority of our fully diluted equity, they will continue to have the ability to elect our directors and determine the outcome of votes by our stockholders on corporate matters, including mergers, sales of all or substantially all of our assets, charter amendments and other matters requiring stockholder approval. This controlling interest may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock by discouraging third-party investors.
Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of penny stocks limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.
Shares of common stock may be considered a penny stock and be subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such shares may be publicly traded and regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty investors may experience in attempting to liquidate such stock.

Overview
The Company, through Omphalos Corp. - Taiwan, is in the business of supplying a wide range of equipment and parts including reflow soldering ovens and Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) machines to printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers in Taiwan and China. The clients are mainly Taiwanese electronics manufacturing companies, including Quanta Computer Inc., Universal Scientific Industrial Co., and Advantech in Taiwan, and QSMC, in China.
The major equipment manufacturer Omphalos represents is TAMURA, which has complete technical supports licensed from the original manufacturers.
The Company operates in an industry characterized by rapid technological changes. It will need additional investments to complete the development and improvement necessary for the development and production of the testing equipment and parts for PCB assembly processes.
The Company's business strategy is to increase its market share by expanding into other industries. Since PCB has a vast application range, the Company is currently researching and developing many additional uses for testing equipment and parts.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principle generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents, Investments, and Long-term Investments - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less estimates made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis based on a review of the current status of existing receivables, account aging, historical collection experience, subsequent collections, management's evaluation of the effect of existing economic conditions, and other known factors. The provision is provided for the above estimates made for all doubtful receivables. Account balances are charged off against the allowance only when the Company considers it is probable that a receivable will not be recovered. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventory - Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the specific identification method. The Company periodically reviews the age and turnover of its inventory to determine whether any inventory has become obsolete or has declined in value, and charges to operations for known and anticipated inventory obsolescence. Inventory consists substantially of finished goods and is net of an allowance for slow-moving inventory of $485,767and $499,964 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Foreign-currency Transactions - Foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars ("NTD") at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Gains or losses resulting from the application of different foreign exchange rates when cash in foreign currency is converted into New Taiwan dollars, or when foreign-currency receivables or payables are settled, are credited or charged to income in the year of conversion or settlement. On the balance sheet dates, the balances of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are restated at the prevailing exchange rates and the resulting differences are charged to current income except for those foreign currency denominated investments in shares of stock where such differences are accounted for as translation adjustments under stockholders' equity.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue for the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-09 requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. The standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. In August 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date which deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, making the guidance effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption will be permitted, but not earlier than the original effective date for annual and interim periods. The impact from adoption of the new requirements of ASU No. 2014-09 on our consolidated financial position or results of operations has not yet been determined.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Preparation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under U.S. GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity's liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity's liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial StatementsLiquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity's liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this Update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, at the current period, management does not believe that it has met conditions which would subject these condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure.
In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 affects reporting entities that measure inventory using first-in, first-out or average cost. Specifically, ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. This standard will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In September 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires the acquirer to record, in the same periods financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this update with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact for any periods presented.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This update requires an entity to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent within a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This update may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on our balance sheet; although we expect a significant reclassification between current and long-term assets.
Results of Operations
The following presents the consolidated results of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Net Sales. Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2015, were $88,833, compared to $536,517for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $447,684. The sales decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in laser marking system unit shipments. Sales of reflow soldering ovens sales to printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers decreased in 2015 compared to 2014. Our average selling prices for reflow soldering ovens and laser marking systems remain unchanged in 2015 compared to 2014. Net sales from our service and parts sales were $15,833 in 2015 and $24,890 in 2014.
Cost of Sales; Gross Margin. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2015, was $59,208 or 66.7% of net sales, as compared to $361,104 or 67.3% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2014. Gross profit for 2015 was $29,625 compared to $175,413 for 2014, a decrease of $145,788. Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 33.3% in 2015, compared to 32.7% in 2014. The change in gross profit percentage was not significant.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $610,376 or 687.1 % of net sales, as compared to 694,453 or 129.44 % of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to decreases in payroll expenses.
Loss from Operations. Loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $(580,751), as compared to $(519,040)for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of 11.9%. The increase in loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared with loss from operations for 2014 resulted primarily from a decrease in gross profit which was partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses.
Other Income (expenses). Other income (expenses) for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $(11,527) as compared to $(3,335)for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of 245.6%. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense, and the decrease in interest income and foreign currency exchange gain.
Net Loss. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $(592,278) as compared to $(522,375) for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of 13.4%. The increase in net loss was due to the reasons described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, and cash flow from operations. Our cash and cash equivalent decreased from $107,028 at December 31, 2014 to $74,982 at December 31, 2015, a decrease of 29.9%.
Net cash flow used in operating activities was $220,754 in fiscal 2015 as compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of $176,349 in fiscal 2014, a decrease of $44,405. Net cash flow used in operating activities in fiscal 2014 was mainly due to our net loss of $(522,375), a decrease in accounts receivable of $208,407, a decrease in inventory of $288,179, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $27,667, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $222,868, and an increase in due to related parties of $38,389. Net cash flow used in operating activities in fiscal 2015 was mainly due to our net loss of $(592,278), a decrease in accounts receivable of $100,716, an increase in inventory of $81,301, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $9,714, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $22,489, an increase in advance from customers of $60,232, and an increase in due to related parties of $269,793.
Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $189,010 for 2015 and $190,785 for 2014, a decrease of $1,775. For 2014, the cash flow provided by financing activity was from loan from shareholders, and short-term bank loans. For 2015, the cash flow provided by financing activity was from loan from shareholders, which was partially offset by repayment of bank loans.
In light of the significant decreases in our net sales over the past fiscal year and current uncertain market and economic conditions, we are aggressively managing our cost structure and cash position to ensure that we will meet our financial obligations while preserving the ability to make investments that will enable us to respond to customer requirements and achieve long-term profitable growth. We currently believe that our cash and cash equivalents, working capital, and cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our forecasted operating expenses and capital expenditures through 2016.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Managements Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2015, based on those criteria. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Directors and Executive Officers
Name | Age | Position | ||
Sheng-Peir Yang | 59 | President, CEO and Director | ||
Chu Pi Yun | 45 | Chief Financial Officer |
Shen-Peir Yang, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director
Mr. Yang is the Companys sole director. He has been President and Chief Executive Officer of Omphalos since 1991. He holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from National Taipei University of Technology. Having run the Companys business for almost 20 years, he is very well-qualified, having extensive knowledge of the performance of our business in a variety of economic cycles, to effectively manage our operations during these challenging economic times.
Pi-Yun Chu, Chief Financial Officer
Ms. Chu has been with Omphalos since 2000. During that time she functioned in various accounting related positions. She was appointed our Chief Financial Officer in October 2007. Ms. Chu has done extensive accounting coursework.
Our directors and officers hold office until the earlier of their resignation, or removal or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
There are no family relationships among our directors or executive officers.
To our knowledge, during the last ten years, none of our directors and executive officers (including those of our subsidiaries) has:
|
Had a bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time. | |
|
Been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses. | |
|
Been subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities. | |
|
Been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC, or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated. |
Section 16 Compliance
The Company is not aware of any securities transaction during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, or subsequent thereto what would require a filing pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our current director acts as our audit committee. The current director was elected President in connection with the merger and is not independent. By virtue of his education, business experience and specific experience with the financial reports for the Company, Mr. Sheng-Peir Yang satisfies the requirements for service as an audit committee financial expert, except for his position as the Companys President, which disqualifies him as an independent director, as the term is used in Item 407 of Regulation S-K. An informal search is under way to identify a suitable candidate for service on the Board of Directors as an independent director who would be qualified as an audit committee financial expert.
Audit Committee
We have not yet appointed an audit committee, and our director currently acts as our audit committee. At the present time, we believe that our director is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The Company, however, recognizes the importance of good corporate governance and intends to add additional directors to the Board of Directors and appoint an audit committee comprised entirely of independent directors, including at least one financial expert.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our articles of incorporation provide that no director or officer shall have any liability to the Company if that person acted in good faith and with the same degree of care and skill as a prudent person in similar circumstances.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices or positions with us. However, nothing in our articles of incorporation or bylaws protects or indemnifies a director, officer, employee or agent against any liability to which that person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of that persons office or position. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Nevada Revised Statutes provide that the director shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
Code of Ethics
We have not as yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, as we have had only to executive officers and we have not been able to establish a process for auditing compliance or reporting noncompliance. We plan to adopt a code of ethics as independent directors are added to the Board of Directors and additional executive officers are engaged by the Company, when it will be in a better position to implement a process for assuring continued compliance with such code of ethics, at which time, it will be available in print to any person who requests it and on our website, when our website is completed. Any amendments and waivers to the code will also be available in print and on our website.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization Omphalos Corp. was incorporated as Soyodo Group Holdings, Inc. (the Soyodo) under the laws of Delaware in March 2003. On February 5, 2008, Soyodo acquired the outstanding shares of Omphalos Corp. Omphalos Corp. (the Omphalos BVI) was incorporated on October 30, 2001 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. For accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a recapitalization of Omphalos BVI. Omphalos BVI owns 100% of Omphalos Corp. (Taiwan), All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (Taiwan), and All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (B.V.I.). Omphalos Corp. (Taiwan) and was incorporated on February 13, 1991 under the laws of Republic of China. All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (Taiwan) was incorporated on March 23, 2004 under the laws of Republic of China. All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (B.V.I.) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.) and its subsidiaries supplies a wide range of equipments and parts including reflow soldering ovens and automated optical inspection machines for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers in Taiwan and China.
Effective April 18, 2008 Soyodo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Omphalos, Corp., a Nevada corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Soyodo was merged with and into the surviving corporation, Omphalos Corp. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation became the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, and the directors and officers of Soyodo became the members of the board of directors and officers of the Company. Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware and Nevada, a Certificate of Merger. Omphalos, Corp is incorporated on April 15, 2008 under the laws of the state of Nevada. The main purpose of the merger is to change the companys name to Omphalos, Corp.
Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Omphalos Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
Going Concern-The Company has incurred a net loss of $592,278 and $522,375 during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Companys assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. This presentation presumes funds will be available to finance ongoing research and development, operations and capital expenditures and permit the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.
There can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to the Company and the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included: (1) Tightly budgeting and controlling all expenses; (2) Expanding product lines and recruiting a strong sales team to significantly increase sales revenue and profit in 2016; (3) The Company plans to continue actively seeing additional funding opportunities to improve and expand upon its product lines.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents, and Long-term Investments Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivables are carried at original invoice amount less estimates made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis based on a review of the current status of existing receivables, account aging, historical collection experience, subsequent collections, management's evaluation of the effect of existing economic conditions, and other known factors. The provision is provided for the above estimates made for all doubtful receivables. Account balances are charged off against the allowance only when the Company considers it is probable that a receivable will not be recovered. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventory Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the specific identification method. The Company periodically reviews the age and turnover of its inventory to determine whether any inventory has become obsolete or has declined in value, and charges to operations for known and anticipated inventory obsolescence. Inventory consists substantially of finished goods and is net of an allowance for slow-moving inventory of $485,767 and $499,964 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Automobile | 5 years | |||
Furniture and fixtures | 3 years | |||
Machinery and equipment | 3 to 5 years | |||
Leasehold improvements | 55 years |
Expenditures for major renewals and betterment that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting profit or loss is reflected in the statement of income for the period.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenues from the sale of equipments and parts to customers. The Companys standard shipping term is Free on Board (FOB) shipping point. The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment for the sales under the term FOB shipping point. For the sales under other shipping term arrangements, such as FOB destination, the Company recognizes revenue when title passes to and the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer based on the terms of the sales. Usually no returns, discounts or other allowances are provided to customers. Shipping and handling charges to customers are included in net sales. Shipping and handling charges incurred by the Company are included in cost of goods sold.
Research and Development Expenses Research and development costs are generally expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Stock Based Compensation The Company applies the fair value provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718). ASC 718 requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant date using an option pricing model. The Company does not have any awards of stock-based compensation issued and outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Loss Per Share The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260-10) which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of the diluted loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any common equivalent shares.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360-10). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. Management has determined that no impairments of long-lived assets currently exist.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Concentrations
Credit Risk: Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and investments.

Foreign-currency Transactions Foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars (NTD) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Gains or losses resulting from the application of different foreign exchange rates when cash in foreign currency is converted into New Taiwan dollars, or when foreign-currency receivables or payables are settled, are credited or charged to income in the year of conversion or settlement. On the balance sheet dates, the balances of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are restated at the prevailing exchange rates and the resulting differences are charged to current income except for those foreign currencies denominated investments in shares of stock where such differences are accounted for as translation adjustments under stockholders equity.
Statement of Cash Flows Cash flows from the Company's operations are based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Translation Adjustment The accounts of the Company was maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in New Taiwan Dollar (NTD). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars ($ or USD) in accordance ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters", with the NTD as the functional currency.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue for the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-09 requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. The standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. In August 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date which deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year, making the guidance effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption will be permitted, but not earlier than the original effective date for annual and interim periods. The impact from adoption of the new requirements of ASU No. 2014-09 on our consolidated financial position or results of operations has not yet been determined.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Preparation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under U.S. GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity's liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity's liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial StatementsLiquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity's liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this Update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company will evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, at the current period, management does not believe that it has met conditions which would subject these condensed consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU 2015-11 affects reporting entities that measure inventory using first-in, first-out or average cost. Specifically, ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. This standard will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial position.
In September 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, which requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 requires the acquirer to record, in the same periods financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this update with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact for any periods presented.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This update requires an entity to classify deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent within a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This update may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early application is permitted as of the beginning of the interim or annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this pronouncement on our balance sheet; although we expect a significant reclassification between current and long-term assets.
