BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Preparation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of CIMG, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of future or annual results.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company prepares its financial statements on the basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The Company consolidates DZR Tech, Wewin and Beijing Zhongyan in accordance with ASC 810, and specifically ASC 810-10-15-8 which states, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest, and, therefore, as a general rule ownership by one reporting entity, directly or indirectly, of over 50% of the outstanding voting shares of another entity is a condition pointing toward consolidation.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share are equal to net earnings or loss divided by the weighted average of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants and other commitments to issue Common Stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of Common Stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total number of Common Stock equivalents was 158,877 and 240,863, respectively, and composed of stock options and warrants. The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively and therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share for those periods are the same because all potential common equivalent shares would be antidilutive.

 

Going Concern and Capital Resources

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and technical staff, acquiring operating assets, raising capital and the commercialization and manufacture of its single serve coffee products. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $124,715 and working capital of $1,394,676.

 

Management has evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern under ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, and considered its financial condition, projected cash flows, obligations due within 12 months, and sources of liquidity. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that no substantial doubt exists regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is an estimate of the exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (i.e., the exit price at the measurement date).

 

 

On August 20, 2024, the Company entered into a convertible note purchase agreement with certain investors (the “August Notes Investors”) to issue and sell convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,300,000 (the “August Notes”). The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7% and have a maturity date of one year from the issuance date. The Notes shall not be converted until the Company obtains shareholder approval for the issuance of shares underlying the Notes. Upon obtaining such approval, the holder may convert the Notes into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest, divided by (ii) $0.94, the conversion price. Any conversion of the Notes resulting in a fractional share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. On October 31, 2024, the conversion of this convertible note into stocks has been completed.

 

Per ASC 470-20-25-5, An embedded beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) present in a convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital.

 

The company evaluated that the fair value of the instrument is slightly higher than the proceeds from the instrument issuance. The BCF is embedded in the convertible note.

 

Still, since the converting period is short (only 50 days) and the fair value of the embedded BCF is relatively small, we decided not to separate the feature until the proceeds to paid-in-capital. Since we do not directly pay the interest expenses, but to put them in the total repayable amount and convert to shares, we do not amortize the interest expense.

 

For the three months ended December 31, the fair value on convertible notes has not changed.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. From time to time, the Company may or may not maintain cash balances at certain institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit.

 

Accounts Receivable,net

 

Trade accounts receivable is periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Bad debts expense or write offs of receivables are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risks in the receivable portfolio and current economic conditions. The Company recorded an allowance for credit loss of $Nil and $3,450,141 as of both December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024.

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to provide guidance on recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements, specifically differentiating between different types of leases. The Company implemented ASU No. 2016-02 on October 1, 2019.

 

The Company conducts a quarterly analysis of leases to determine if there are any operating leases that require recognition under ASC 842. The Company has a long-term operating lease for office and manufacturing space in Plano, Texas. The leased property in Plano, Texas, has a remaining lease term through June 2024 and Tenancy terminated. The Company did not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to operating leases with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less.

 

In May 2022, the Company renewed the office and manufacturing space in Vista, California through March 31, 2025, which was scheduled to expire on January 31, 2023. The lease has a monthly base rent of $8,451, plus common area expenses. Along with the extension, we leased an additional 1,796 square feet that has a monthly base rent of $2,514 through March 31, 2025.

 

The Company leased a new larger office and manufacturing space in Seoul, Korea beginning November 15, 2021, through November 15, 2023. The lease has a monthly expense of $7,040. Accordingly, we have added ROU Assets and Lease Liabilities related to those leases as of September 30, 2023.

 

Effective September 1, 2024, we have leased a principal office space located at 16097 Poppyseed Cir, Unit 1904, Delray Beach, Florida, 33484, which we lease for $3,500 per month until August 31, 2025.

 

The lease in San On Street, Tuen Mun, Hong Kong has a term of 12 months from December 18, 2024 to December 17, 2025 at a rate of RMB 4,167 ($594) per month. The lease is a short-term lease which has a lease term of 12 months and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset. The Company did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short term leases.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of 1 years and a weighted-average discount rate of 5%. Other information related to our operating leases is as follows:

 

ROU Asset – October 1, 2024  $99,746

Operating cash outflows from operating leases:  $40,256 
Operating cash outflows from finance leases:  $- 
Financing cash outflows from finance lease:  $- 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The financial position and results of operations of each of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the foreign subsidiary’s local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses of each such subsidiary have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, unless there is a sale or complete liquidation of the underlying foreign investment. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the foreign currency translation adjustment attributable to CIMG Inc., recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), was $(192,038) and $42,408, respectively.

 

Transaction gains and losses arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In FY 2024, We have reduced our single-serving pour-over coffee packaging business, and in the portion of bagged coffee sales, we have added other brands, such as “Maca Coffee” and other finished products with maca as the main raw material, such as “Maca Noni”. In 2024, we sell maca peptide coffee and other new products on a distribution model. We usually sign distribution contracts with distributors on a batch basis. Based on the contract, we deliver the goods after full payment to our bank account. We courier the goods to the customer. The customer will sign a receipt after receiving the goods. The customers can also choose to pick up their goods from our warehouse on their own. Also, the customer will sign a receipt.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition” (Topic 605). The new standard’s core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in the standard are applied in five steps: 1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We adopted Topic 606 as of October 1, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, including the presentation of revenues in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Per ASC 606-10-32-2, an entity shall consider the terms of the contract and its customary business practices to determine the transaction price. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties (for example, some sales taxes). The consideration promised in a contract with a customer may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.

 

Per ASC 606-10-25-23 An entity shall recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (that is, an asset) to a customer.

 

Per ASC 606-10-55-37 An entity is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. However, an entity does not necessarily control a specified good if the entity obtains legal title to that good only momentarily before legal title is transferred to a customer. An entity that is a principal may satisfy its performance obligation to provide the specified good or service itself or it may engage another party (for example, a subcontractor) to satisfy some or all of the performance obligation on its behalf.

 

ASC 606-10-55-38 An entity is an agent if the entity’s performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of the specified good or service by another party. An entity that is an agent does not control the specified good or service provided by another party before that good or service is transferred to the customer. When (or as) an entity that is an agent satisfies a performance obligation, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified goods or services to be provided by the other party. An entity’s fee or commission might be the net amount of consideration that the entity retains after paying the other party the consideration received in exchange for the goods or services to be provided by that party.

 

 

Return and Exchange Policy

 

All products are thoroughly inspected and securely packaged before they are shipped to ensure buyers receive the best possible product. If for any reason buyers are unsatisfied with the products, they can return them, and the Company will exchange or refund the purchase minus any shipping charges. For wholesale customers, return policies vary based on their specific agreements with customers. Under chargebacks agreements with the customers, the Company agrees to reimburse the seller for a portion of the costs incurred by the seller to advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products. The Company estimates, accrues and recognizes such chargebacks. These amounts are included in the determination of net sales. For three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has no sales allowances for estimated chargebacks and returns, respectively.

The Company is required to make deposits or prepayments and progress payments on equipment purchases before the Company receives possession and title. As a result, the Company accounts for such payments as Other Assets until it has possession at which time the equipment is recorded as Property and Equipment. There were no such deposits as of December 31, 2024 or September 30, 2024.

 

Samples

 

The Company distributes samples of its products as a component of its marketing program. Costs for samples are expensed at the time the samples are produced and recorded under operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicated that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and a current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets have either an identifiable or indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic or legal life, whichever is shorter. We have identifiable useful life intangible assets related to acquired Dripkit tradename and customer relationships. We evaluate these intangible assets annually for impairment, and when indications of potential impairment exist. The management uses considerable judgment to determine key assumptions, including projected revenue, projected costs, marketing expenses and projected profits, etc. This kind of analysis requires important estimates and judgments, including the estimation of future cash flows, which depends on internal forecasts, the estimation of the long-term growth rate of our business, the estimation of the useful life of the cash flows that will occur, customer churn, and the determination of our weighted average cost of capital.

 

Income Taxes

 

In accordance with ASC 740 - Income Taxes, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

 

The Company also follows the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

 

Related parties

 

A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

We account for share-based awards issued to employees in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Accordingly, employee share-based payment compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is normally the vesting period. Share-based compensation to directors is treated in the same manner as share-based compensation to employees, regardless of whether the directors are also employees. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for non-employee transactions by stipulating that the existing accounting guidance for share-based payments to employees (accounted for under ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”) will also apply to non-employee share-based transactions (accounted for under ASC Topic 505, “Equity”). The Company implemented ASU 2018-07 on October 1, 2019 and the impact of the implementation was not material to the financial statements.

 

 

We determine the fair value of share-based payments using the Black Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the closing price of our common stock for common share issuances. We recognize forfeitures as they occurred.

 

For three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 800,000 shares of its common stock under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

Comprehensive income/loss

 

Comprehensive income/loss is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income/loss are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income/loss pertains to foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Segment Information

 

ASC Topic 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. Management has determined that the Company operates in one business segment, which is the commercialization and development of functional beverages.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments. This guidance also eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting-Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this Update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments in this Update retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Group adopted ASU 2023-07 in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company concluded that it has no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which applies to all entities subject to income taxes. ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these accounting standard updates on its consolidated financial statements.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
