HEARTCORE ENTERPRISES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (“HeartCore USA” or the “Company”), a holding company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 18, 2021.

 

On July 16, 2021, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement with certain shareholders of HeartCore Co., Ltd. (“HeartCore Japan”), a company that was incorporated in Japan on June 12, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 15,999,994 shares of its common shares to the shareholders of HeartCore Japan in exchange for 10,706 shares out of 10,984 shares of common shares issued by HeartCore Japan, representing approximately 97.5% of HeartCore Japan’s outstanding common shares. On February 24, 2022, the Company purchased the remaining 278 shares of common shares of HeartCore Japan. As a result, HeartCore Japan became a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company.

 

The share exchange on July 16, 2021 has been accounted for as a recapitalization between entities under common control since the same controlling shareholders controlled these two entities before and after the transaction. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiary has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the transaction had become effective as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company, via its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, HeartCore Japan, is mainly engaged in the business of developing and sales of comprehensive software. Beginning from early 2022, HeartCore USA is engaged in the business of providing consulting services to Japanese companies with intention to go public in the United States capital market.

 

On September 6, 2022, HeartCore USA entered into a share exchange and purchase agreement (“Sigmaways Agreement”) to acquire 51% of the outstanding shares of Sigmaways, Inc. (“Sigmaways”), a company incorporated under the laws of the State of California in April 2006, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sigmaways B.V. and Sigmaways Technologies Ltd. (“Sigmaways Technologies”). Sigmaways B.V. was incorporated in Netherlands in November 2019. Sigmaways Technologies was incorporated in Canada in August 2020. Sigmaways and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the business of developing and sales of software in the United States. The acquisition was closed on February 1, 2023.

 

In January 2023, HeartCore USA incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, HeartCore Financial, Inc. (“HeartCore Financial”), under the laws of the State of Delaware. HeartCore Financial is engaged in the business of providing financial consulting services.

 

In February 2023, HeartCore USA incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, HeartCore Capital Advisors, Inc. (“HeartCore Capital Advisors”), in Japan. HeartCore Capital Advisors is engaged in the business of providing financial consulting services to Japanese companies.

 

In November 2023, HeartCore Japan established a 51% owned subsidiary in Vietnam, HeartCore Luvina Vietnam Company Limited (“HeartCore Luvina”), which is engaged in the business of providing software development and other services. HeartCore Luvina started its operations from February 2024.

 

On November 17, 2023, HeartCore Japan and HeartCore Capital Advisors entered into a merger agreement to merge the two entities into one with HeartCore Japan being the surviving entity. On January 1, 2024, the merger was completed and HeartCore Capital Advisors transferred all of its assets and liabilities to HeartCore Japan. The merger has been accounted for as a recapitalization between entities under common control since the same controlling shareholders controlled the two entities before and after the transaction.

 

In April 2024, HeartCore Financial incorporated a branch office, HeartCore Financial, Inc. – Japan Branch Office (“HeartCore Financial – Japan”), in Japan. HeartCore Financial – Japan is engaged in the business of providing financial consulting services.

 

HeartCore USA, HeartCore Japan, Sigmaways, Sigmaways B.V., Sigmaways Technologies, HeartCore Financial, HeartCore Capital Advisors, HeartCore Luvina and HeartCore Financial – Japan are hereafter referred to as the Company.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosure required by the U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Correction of Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

During the review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company identified an error in the consolidated statement of cash flows in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a misclassification between operating and investing activities for the net proceeds received from sale of warrants, and corrected such error through a cumulative out-of-period adjustment in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 3024. The change in prepaid expenses and change in other liabilities in the operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 should have been $102,028 and $60,658, respectively, but was stated as $(3,257,972) and $5,060,658, respectively, resulting in net cash flows provided by operating activities overstated by $1,640,000. Concurrently, the Company failed to include net proceeds from sale of warrants included in the investing activities of $1,640,000, resulting in net cash flows provided by investing activities understated by $1,640,000 in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The error had no impact on the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

 

In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108 (SAB 99 and SAB 108), the Company evaluated this error and, based on analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the error is not material to the previously issued financial statements and the cumulative out-of-period adjustment for the correction of this error is not material to the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Therefore, as permitted by SAB108, the Company corrected such error in the current filing through a cumulative out-of-period adjustment in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 3024.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity U.S. GAAP, the management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible asset, the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, implicit interest rate of operating and finance leases, valuation of asset retirement obligations, valuation of investment in warrants, revenue recognition and purchase price allocation with respect to business combination. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

Pursuant to the lease agreements for the office space, the Company is responsible to restore these spaces back to its original statute at the time of leaving. The Company recognizes an obligation related to these restorations as asset retirement obligation included in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410, “Asset Retirement Obligation Accounting”. The Company capitalizes the associated asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related property and equipment. The following table presents changes in asset retirement obligations:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
Beginning balance  $208,732   $138,018 
Liabilities incurred   -    83,821 
Accretion expense   176    428 
Liabilities settled   (3,779)   - 
Foreign currency translation adjustment   (19,765)   (13,535)
Ending balance  $185,364   $208,732 

 

Software Development Costs

 

Software development costs are expensed as incurred until the point the Company establishes technological feasibility. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design or the completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between establishment of technological feasibility and the point at which the product is ready for general release are capitalized and amortized over the economic life of the related products. The Company’s software development costs incurred subsequent to achieving technological feasibility have not been significant and all software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, software development costs expensed as incurred amounted to $200,402 and $119,232, respectively. These software development costs were included in the research and development expenses.

 

F-6

 

 

Investment in Warrants

 

Investment in warrants represents stock warrants of its consulting service customers. The warrants are measured at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in warrants is classified as long-term if the warrants are exercisable over one year after the date of receipt.

 

Investments in Marketable Securities

 

Investments in marketable securities represent equity securities registered for public sale with readily determinable fair value. The marketable securities were obtained through exercise of stock warrants of its consulting service customers and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other income (expenses).

 

Investment in Equity Securities

 

Investment in equity securities represents investment in a privately held entity that does not have a readily determinable fair value or report net asset value. Investment in equity securities is accounted for using a measurement alternative, under which this investment is measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in equity securities is classified as long-term if the Company anticipates to dispose of the investment over one year after the date of receipt based on information available as of the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss on investment in equity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Investment in SAFE

 

Investment in SAFE represents investment in a privately held entity that does not have a readily determinable fair value or report net asset value through a simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”). Investment in SAFE is accounted for using a measurement alternative, under which this investment is measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in SAFE is classified as long-term if the Company anticipates the equity financing or dissolution or liquidity event prescribed in the SAFE to take place over one year after the date of receipt based on information available as of the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss on investment in SAFE for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Intangible Asset, Net

 

Intangible asset represents the customer relationship acquired from business acquisition of Sigmaways and its subsidiaries. The acquired intangible asset is recognized and measured at fair value at the time of acquisition and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful life of the respective asset. The estimated useful life of the customer relationship is 8 years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other Than Goodwill

 

Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets and intangible asset, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value. There were no impairments of these assets during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Others”, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist, applying a fair-value based test. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

 

F-7

 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency of HeartCore Japan, HeartCore Capital Advisors and HeartCore Financial – Japan is the Japanese Yen (“JPY”). The functional currency of HeartCore USA, HeartCore Financial and Sigmaways is the United States Dollar (“US$”). The functional currency of Sigmaways B.V. is the Euro (“EUR”). The functional currency of Sigmaways Technologies is the Canada Dollar (“CAD”). The functional currency of HeartCore Luvina is the Vietnam Dong (“VND”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the US$, and the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the unaudited consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenues under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

 

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Revenues amount represents the invoiced value, net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”) and applicable local government levies. The Consumption Tax on sales are calculated at 10% of gross sales in Japan and Vietnam, 5% of gross sales in Canada, 21% of gross sales in Netherlands and nil of gross sales in the United States.

 

The Company currently generates its revenue from the following main sources:

 

Revenues from On-Premise Software

 

Licenses for on-premise software provide the customers with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customers. The Company provides on-premise software in the form of both perpetual licenses and term-based licenses which grant the customers with the right for a specified term. Revenues from on-premise licenses are recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customers. Licenses for on-premise software are typically sold to the customers with maintenance and support services in a bundle. Revenues under the bundled arrangements are allocated based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of on-premise software and maintenance and support service. The SSP for maintenance and support services is estimated based upon observable transactions when those services are sold on a standalone basis. The SSP of on-premise software is typically estimated using the residual approach as the Company is unable to establish the SSP for on-premise licenses based on observable prices given the same products are sold for a broad range of amounts (that is, the selling price is highly variable) and a representative SSP is not discernible from past transactions or other observable evidence.

 

Revenues from Maintenance and Support Services

 

Maintenance and support services provided with software licenses consist of trouble shooting, technical support and the right to receive unspecified software updates when and if available during the subscription. Revenues from maintenance and support services are recognized over time as such services are performed. Revenues for consumption-based services are generally recognized as the services are performed and accepted by the customers.

 

Revenues from Software as a Service (“SaaS”)

 

The Company’s software is available for use as hosted application arrangements under subscription fee agreements without licensing the rights of the software to the customers. Subscription fees from these applications are recognized over time on a ratable basis over the customer agreement term beginning on the date the Company’s solution is made available to the customers. The subscription contracts are generally one year or less in length.

 

F-8

 

 

Revenues from Software Development and Other Miscellaneous Services

 

The Company provides customers with software development and support services pursuant to their specific requirements, which primarily compose of consulting, integration, training, custom application, and workflow development. The Company also provides other miscellaneous services, such as 3D Space photography. The Company generally recognizes revenues at a point in time when control is transferred to the customers and the Company is entitled to the payment, which is when the promised services are delivered and accepted by the customers.

 

Revenues from Customized Software Development and Services

 

The Company’s customized software development and services revenues primarily include revenues from providing software development solutions and other support services to its customers. The contract pricing is at stated billing rates per hour. These contracts are generally short-term in nature and not longer than one year in duration. For services provided under the contracts that result in the transfer of control over time, the underlying deliverable in the contracts is owned and controlled by the customers and does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company. The Company recognizes revenues on rate per hour contracts based on the amount billable to the customers, as the Company has the right to invoice the customers in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customers of the Company’s performance to date.

 

Revenues from Consulting Services

 

The Company provides public listing related consulting services to customers pursuant to the specific requirements prescribed in the contracts, which primarily include communicating with intermediary parties, preparing required documents related to the initial public offering and supporting the listing process. The consulting service contracts normally include both cash and noncash considerations. Cash consideration is paid in installment payments and is recognized in revenues over the period of the contract by reference to progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Noncash consideration is in the form of warrants of the customers and is measured at fair value at contract inception. Noncash consideration that is variable for reasons other than only the form of the consideration is included in the transaction price, but is subject to the constraint on variable consideration. The Company assesses the estimated amount of the variable noncash consideration at contract inception and subsequently, to determine when and to what extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Only when the significant revenues reversal is concluded probable of not occurring can variable consideration be included in revenues. Based on evaluation of likelihood and magnitude of a reversal in applying the constraint, the variable noncash consideration is recognized in revenues until the underlying uncertainties have been resolved.

 

The Company records reduction to revenues for estimated customer returns and allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical rates of customer returns and allowances as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which is inherently uncertain, may differ from the Company’s estimates. If the Company determines that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves it established, it would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to revenues in the period in which it makes such a determination. Reserves for customer refunds are included within other current liabilities or other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At a minimum, the Company reviews and refines these estimates on a quarterly basis.

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to the customers. The Company has determined that its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company records a contract asset, which is included in accounts receivable, current or non-current, in the consolidated balance sheets, when revenues are recognized prior to invoicing. The Company factors certain accounts receivable upon or after the performance obligation is being met. The Company records deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets when revenues are recognized subsequent to cash collection for an invoice. Deferred revenue is reported net of related uncollected deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 that were included in the opening deferred revenue balance was approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable, note receivable and other receivable. The Company usually does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, customer A represents 13.7% of the Company’s total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, customer B, C and D represent 18.2%, 12.8% and 11.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, no vendor accounts for more than 10% of the Company’s total purchases. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, vendor A and B represent 60.9% and 22.7%, respectively, of the Company’s total purchases.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on the estimated fair value of those awards on the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or vesting period. The Company records forfeitures as they occur.

 

F-10

 

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible assets, liabilities, identifiable intangible asset acquired and non-controlling interests, if any, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred.

 

Consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at the fair value as of the date of acquisition. Where the consideration in an acquisition includes contingent consideration, and the payment of which depends on the achievement of certain specified conditions post-acquisition, the contingent consideration is recognized and measured at its fair value at the acquisition date and is recorded as a liability. It is subsequently carried at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in earnings.

 

In a business combination achieved in stages, the Company remeasures the previously held equity interest in the acquiree immediately before obtaining control at its acquisition-date fair value and the remeasurement gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Fair value is determined based upon the guidance of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, and generally are determined using Level 2 inputs and Level 3 inputs. The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgments and estimates. The Company utilizes the assistance of a third-party valuation appraiser to determine the fair value as of the date of acquisition.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company performs fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic 820. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or
  Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values of the assets or liabilities.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying values of current assets, except for investments in marketable securities, and current liabilities approximated their fair values reported in the consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

On March 29, 2024, the Board of Directors approved a dividend declaration of $0.02 per share of common share for the shareholders of record at the close of business on April 26, 2024. The dividends in the amount of $417,283 were paid on May 3, 2024.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 20,864,144 and 20,842,690 shares of common shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

NOTE 18 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated on the basis of weighted average outstanding common shares. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of basic weighted average outstanding common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and other dilutive securities. Common shares equivalents are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed conversion of share repurchase liability to common shares related to the early exercised stock options and unvested RSUs, and are not included in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

F-20

 

 

The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

 

   2024   2023   2024   2023 
  

For the Three Months

For the Six Months

Numerator                    
Net income (loss) attributable to HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. common shareholders  $(1,951,100)  $(911,800)  $(3,284,450)  $970,489 
Denominator                    
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in calculating net income (loss) per share   20,864,144    20,842,690    20,859,429    19,959,333 
Net income (loss) per share - basic and diluted  $(0.09)  $(0.04)  $(0.16)  $0.05 

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average common shares outstanding are the same for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share calculations, as the inclusion of common share equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.

 

NOTE 19 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On September 6, 2022, HeartCore USA entered into the Sigmaways Agreement to acquire 51% of the outstanding shares of Sigmaways, a company incorporated under the laws of the State of California, and its subsidiaries. The Sigmaways Agreement was further amended on December 23, 2022 and February 1, 2023, respectively, and the transaction was closed on February 1, 2023. The purchase consideration is $4,150,000, consisted of $1,000,000 in cash and 2,500,000 shares of common shares of the Company with fair value of $3,150,000 at the closing date.

 

The total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill.

 

The purchase price is allocated on the acquisition date as follows:

 

   Amount 
Current assets  $2,066,683 
Acquired intangible asset   5,100,000 
Non-current assets   47,979 
Current liabilities   (1,146,900)
Deferred tax liabilities   (1,428,000)
Non-current liabilities   (576,203)
Goodwill   3,276,441 
Non-controlling interest   (3,190,000)
Total purchase consideration  $4,150,000 

 

The results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Sigmaways and its subsidiaries have been included in the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

 

Pro forma results of operations for the business combination have not been presented because they are not material to the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing on goodwill for its reporting unit on December 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss on goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

NOTE 20 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

On July 22, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.02 per share of the Company’s common shares to be paid on August 26, 2024 to shareholders of record as of August 19, 2024.

We and our representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking,” including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in our reports and presentations to stockholders or potential stockholders. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “potential,” “continue” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties and there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors, risks and uncertainties can be found in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as the same may be updated from time to time, including in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could have a material effect on the future financial performance of the Company. The forward-looking statements in this report are made on the basis of management’s assumptions and analyses, as of the time the statements are made, in light of their experience and perception of historical conditions, expected future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate under the circumstances.

Business Overview

 

We are a leading software development company based in Tokyo, Japan. We provide software through two business units. The first business unit, our CX division, includes a customer experience management business (the “CXM Platform”) that has been in existence for 14 years. Our CXM Platform includes marketing, sales, service and content management systems, as well as other tools and integrations, that enable companies to attract and engage customers throughout the customer experience. We also provide education, services and support to help customers be successful with our CXM Platform.

 

The second business unit, our DX division, is a digital transformation business which provides customers with robotics process automation, process mining and task mining to accelerate the digital transformation of enterprises. We also have an ongoing technology innovation team to develop software that supports the narrow needs of large enterprise customers.

 

During 2022, we started the GO IPO business, which supports Japanese companies listing on Nasdaq and NYSE in the United States. As of August 14, 2024, we have entered into consulting agreements with 14 companies to assist them in their IPO process, pursuant to which we are entitled to receive from each company a consulting fee that ranges from $380,000 to $900,000 and warrants or stock acquisition rights to purchase 1% to 4% of the fully-diluted share capital of such companies that is exercisable on certain dates at an exercise price of $0.01 or JPY1 per share .

 

On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into a warrants transfer agreement with a non-related company to sell partial of the warrants it received from a customer (“Consulting Customer”) as noncash consideration from consulting services for $9,000,000 in cash. The Company received $9,000,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and recorded it in other current liabilities as the warrants to be transferred are exercisable upon its Consulting Customer’s consummation of the Merger with a special purpose acquisition company or the occurrence of other fundamental events defined in the warrant agreement it had with the Consulting Customer.

In July 2024, BloomZ Inc. (“BloomZ”), one of our Go IPO clients, successfully began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We hope that this marks the beginning of a second wave of initial public offerings for our Go IPO clients, as we are optimistic regarding the backlog of Go IPO deals.  

 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 18, 2021. We conduct business activities principally through our wholly owned subsidiary, HeartCore Co., Ltd. (“HeartCore Japan”), a Japanese corporation, which was established in Japan by Mr. Sumitaka Yamamoto, our CEO, in 2009.

 

On September 6, 2022, the Company entered into a share exchange and purchase agreement (“Sigmaways Agreement”) to acquire 51% of the outstanding shares of Sigmaways, a company incorporated under the laws of the State of California, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Sigmaways and its wholly owned subsidiaries are engaged in the business of developing and sales of software in the United States. The acquisition closed on February 1, 2023.

 

In the first quarter of 2023, we formed HeartCore Financial, Inc. (“HeartCore Financial”) in the U.S. and HeartCore Capital Advisors, Inc. (“HeartCore Capital Advisors”) in Japan, as a part of our Go IPO consulting business. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we formed HeartCore Luvina Vietnam Company Limited in Vietnam (“HeartCore Luvina”), which is engaged in the business of software development.

 

On November 17, 2023, HeartCore Japan and HeartCore Capital Advisors entered into a merger agreement to merge the two entities into one with HeartCore Japan being the surviving entity. On January 1, 2024, the merger was completed and HeartCore Capital Advisors transferred all of its assets and liabilities to HeartCore Japan. The merger has been accounted for as a recapitalization between entities under common control since the same controlling shareholders controlled the two entities before and after the transaction.

 

In April 2024, HeartCore Financial incorporated a branch office, HeartCore Financial, Inc. – Japan Branch Office, in Japan.

 

Recent Developments

The Company received $9,000,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and recorded it in other current liabilities as the warrants were exercisable upon the Go IPO’s client’s consummation of a merger with a special purpose acquisition company or the occurrence of other fundamental events, as described in the warrant agreement between the Company and the Go IPO client.

On March 29, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.02 per share of the Company’s common shares. The dividend was paid on May 3, 2024 to shareholders of record as of April 26, 2024, resulting in an aggregate of $417,283 in total dividends paid by the Company.

Noncompliance with Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Requirement

 

On October 26, 2023, the Company received written notice (the “Bid Price Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The notification of noncompliance had no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “HTCR.”

 

The Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and, based upon the closing bid price for the then-last 30 consecutive business days, the Company did not meet this requirement. The Bid Price Notice indicated that the Company would be provided 180 calendar days, or until April 23, 2024, in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Nasdaq Staff would provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

 

Alternatively, if the Company failed to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the 180 calendar day period, but met the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all of the other applicable standards for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and provided written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, then the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2).

 

On April 24, 2024, the Company received written notice from the Nasdaq Staff indicating that although the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Nasdaq Staff determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until October 21, 2024, to regain compliance. The Nasdaq Staff indicated that its determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all of the other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. Accordingly, there is no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “HTCR.”

 

If at any time during this additional time period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Nasdaq Staff will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, even if it maintains compliance with the other listing requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenues and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. We continue to evaluate the estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We believe critical accounting policies as disclosed herein reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenues under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

 

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Revenues amount represents the invoiced value, net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”) and applicable local government levies. The Consumption Tax on sales are calculated at 10% of gross sales in Japan and Vietnam, 5% of gross sales in Canada, 21% of gross sales in Netherlands and nil of gross sales in the United States.

The Company currently generates its revenue from the following main sources:

 

Revenues from On-Premise Software

 

Licenses for on-premise software provide the customers with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customers. The Company provides on-premise software in the form of both perpetual licenses and term-based licenses which grant the customers with the right for a specified term. Revenues from on-premise licenses are recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customers. Licenses for on-premise software are typically sold to the customers with maintenance and support services in a bundle. Revenues under the bundled arrangements are allocated based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of on-premise software and maintenance and support service. The SSP for maintenance and support services is estimated based upon observable transactions when those services are sold on a standalone basis. The SSP of on-premise software is typically estimated using the residual approach as the Company is unable to establish the SSP for on-premise licenses based on observable prices given the same products are sold for a broad range of amounts (that is, the selling price is highly variable) and a representative SSP is not discernible from past transactions or other observable evidence.

 

Revenues from Maintenance and Support Services

 

Maintenance and support services provided with software licenses consist of trouble shooting, technical support and the right to receive unspecified software updates when and if available during the subscription. Revenues from maintenance and support services are recognized over time as such services are performed. Revenues for consumption-based services are generally recognized as the services are performed and accepted by the customers.

 

Revenues from Software as a Service (“SaaS”)

 

The Company’s software is available for use as hosted application arrangements under subscription fee agreements without licensing the rights of the software to the customers. Subscription fees from these applications are recognized over time on a ratable basis over the customer agreement term beginning on the date the Company’s solution is made available to the customers. The subscription contracts are generally one year or less in length.

 

Revenues from Software Development and Other Miscellaneous Services

 

The Company provides customers with software development and support services pursuant to their specific requirements, which primarily compose of consulting, integration, training, custom application, and workflow development. The Company also provides other miscellaneous services, such as 3D space photography. The Company generally recognizes revenues at a point in time when control is transferred to the customers and the Company is entitled to the payment, which is when the promised services are delivered and accepted by the customers.

 

Revenues from Customized Software Development and Services

 

The Company’s customized software development and services revenues primarily include revenues from providing software development solutions and other support services to its customers. The contract pricing is at stated billing rates per hour. These contracts are generally short-term in nature and not longer than one year in duration. For services provided under the contracts that result in the transfer of control over time, the underlying deliverable in the contracts is owned and controlled by the customers and does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company. The Company recognizes revenues on rate per hour contracts based on the amount billable to the customers, as the Company has the right to invoice the customers in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customers of the Company’s performance to date.

 

13

 

 

Revenues from Consulting Services

 

The Company provides public listing related consulting services to customers pursuant to the specific requirements prescribed in the contracts, which primarily include communicating with intermediary parties, preparing required documents related to the initial public offering and supporting the listing process. The consulting service contracts normally include both cash and noncash considerations. Cash consideration is paid in installment payments and is recognized in revenues over the period of the contract by reference to progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Noncash consideration is in the form of warrants of the customers and is measured at fair value at contract inception. Noncash consideration that is variable for reasons other than only the form of the consideration is included in the transaction price, but is subject to the constraint on variable consideration. The Company assesses the estimated amount of the variable noncash consideration at contract inception and subsequently, to determine when and to what extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Only when the significant revenues reversal is concluded probable of not occurring can variable consideration be included in revenues. Based on evaluation of likelihood and magnitude of a reversal in applying the constraint, the variable noncash consideration is recognized in revenues until the underlying uncertainties have been resolved.

 

The Company records reduction to revenues for estimated customer returns and allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical rates of customer returns and allowances as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which is inherently uncertain, may differ from the Company’s estimates. If the Company determines that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves it established, it would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to revenues in the period in which it makes such a determination. Reserves for customer refunds are included within other current liabilities or other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At a minimum, the Company reviews and refines these estimates on a quarterly basis.

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to the customers. The Company has determined that its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company records a contract asset, which is included in accounts receivable, current and non-current, in the consolidated balance sheets, when revenues are recognized prior to invoicing. The Company factors certain accounts receivable upon or after the performance obligation is being met. The Company records deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets when revenues are recognized subsequent to cash collection for an invoice. Deferred revenue is reported net of related uncollected deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 that were included in the opening deferred revenue balance was approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

HeartCore Enterprises, Inc. (“HeartCore USA” or the “Company”), a holding company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 18, 2021.

 

On July 16, 2021, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement with certain shareholders of HeartCore Co., Ltd. (“HeartCore Japan”), a company that was incorporated in Japan on June 12, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 15,999,994 shares of its common shares to the shareholders of HeartCore Japan in exchange for 10,706 shares out of 10,984 shares of common shares issued by HeartCore Japan, representing approximately 97.5% of HeartCore Japan’s outstanding common shares. On February 24, 2022, the Company purchased the remaining 278 shares of common shares of HeartCore Japan. As a result, HeartCore Japan became a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company.

 

The share exchange on July 16, 2021 has been accounted for as a recapitalization between entities under common control since the same controlling shareholders controlled these two entities before and after the transaction. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiary has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the transaction had become effective as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company, via its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, HeartCore Japan, is mainly engaged in the business of developing and sales of comprehensive software. Beginning from early 2022, HeartCore USA is engaged in the business of providing consulting services to Japanese companies with intention to go public in the United States capital market.

 

On September 6, 2022, HeartCore USA entered into a share exchange and purchase agreement (“Sigmaways Agreement”) to acquire 51% of the outstanding shares of Sigmaways, Inc. (“Sigmaways”), a company incorporated under the laws of the State of California in April 2006, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sigmaways B.V. and Sigmaways Technologies Ltd. (“Sigmaways Technologies”). Sigmaways B.V. was incorporated in Netherlands in November 2019. Sigmaways Technologies was incorporated in Canada in August 2020. Sigmaways and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the business of developing and sales of software in the United States. The acquisition was closed on February 1, 2023.

 

In January 2023, HeartCore USA incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, HeartCore Financial, Inc. (“HeartCore Financial”), under the laws of the State of Delaware. HeartCore Financial is engaged in the business of providing financial consulting services.

 

In February 2023, HeartCore USA incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, HeartCore Capital Advisors, Inc. (“HeartCore Capital Advisors”), in Japan. HeartCore Capital Advisors is engaged in the business of providing financial consulting services to Japanese companies.

 

In November 2023, HeartCore Japan established a 51% owned subsidiary in Vietnam, HeartCore Luvina Vietnam Company Limited (“HeartCore Luvina”), which is engaged in the business of providing software development and other services. HeartCore Luvina started its operations from February 2024.

 

On November 17, 2023, HeartCore Japan and HeartCore Capital Advisors entered into a merger agreement to merge the two entities into one with HeartCore Japan being the surviving entity. On January 1, 2024, the merger was completed and HeartCore Capital Advisors transferred all of its assets and liabilities to HeartCore Japan. The merger has been accounted for as a recapitalization between entities under common control since the same controlling shareholders controlled the two entities before and after the transaction.

 

In April 2024, HeartCore Financial incorporated a branch office, HeartCore Financial, Inc. – Japan Branch Office (“HeartCore Financial – Japan”), in Japan. HeartCore Financial – Japan is engaged in the business of providing financial consulting services.

 

HeartCore USA, HeartCore Japan, Sigmaways, Sigmaways B.V., Sigmaways Technologies, HeartCore Financial, HeartCore Capital Advisors, HeartCore Luvina and HeartCore Financial – Japan are hereafter referred to as the Company.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosure required by the U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Correction of Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

During the review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company identified an error in the consolidated statement of cash flows in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a misclassification between operating and investing activities for the net proceeds received from sale of warrants, and corrected such error through a cumulative out-of-period adjustment in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 3024. The change in prepaid expenses and change in other liabilities in the operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 should have been $102,028 and $60,658, respectively, but was stated as $(3,257,972) and $5,060,658, respectively, resulting in net cash flows provided by operating activities overstated by $1,640,000. Concurrently, the Company failed to include net proceeds from sale of warrants included in the investing activities of $1,640,000, resulting in net cash flows provided by investing activities understated by $1,640,000 in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The error had no impact on the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

 

In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108 (SAB 99 and SAB 108), the Company evaluated this error and, based on analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the error is not material to the previously issued financial statements and the cumulative out-of-period adjustment for the correction of this error is not material to the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Therefore, as permitted by SAB108, the Company corrected such error in the current filing through a cumulative out-of-period adjustment in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 3024.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity U.S. GAAP, the management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible asset, the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, implicit interest rate of operating and finance leases, valuation of asset retirement obligations, valuation of investment in warrants, revenue recognition and purchase price allocation with respect to business combination. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

Pursuant to the lease agreements for the office space, the Company is responsible to restore these spaces back to its original statute at the time of leaving. The Company recognizes an obligation related to these restorations as asset retirement obligation included in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410, “Asset Retirement Obligation Accounting”. The Company capitalizes the associated asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related property and equipment. The following table presents changes in asset retirement obligations:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
Beginning balance  $208,732   $138,018 
Liabilities incurred   -    83,821 
Accretion expense   176    428 
Liabilities settled   (3,779)   - 
Foreign currency translation adjustment   (19,765)   (13,535)
Ending balance  $185,364   $208,732 

 

Software Development Costs

 

Software development costs are expensed as incurred until the point the Company establishes technological feasibility. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design or the completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between establishment of technological feasibility and the point at which the product is ready for general release are capitalized and amortized over the economic life of the related products. The Company’s software development costs incurred subsequent to achieving technological feasibility have not been significant and all software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, software development costs expensed as incurred amounted to $200,402 and $119,232, respectively. These software development costs were included in the research and development expenses.

 

 

Investment in Warrants

 

Investment in warrants represents stock warrants of its consulting service customers. The warrants are measured at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in warrants is classified as long-term if the warrants are exercisable over one year after the date of receipt.

 

Investments in Marketable Securities

 

Investments in marketable securities represent equity securities registered for public sale with readily determinable fair value. The marketable securities were obtained through exercise of stock warrants of its consulting service customers and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other income (expenses).

 

Investment in Equity Securities

 

Investment in equity securities represents investment in a privately held entity that does not have a readily determinable fair value or report net asset value. Investment in equity securities is accounted for using a measurement alternative, under which this investment is measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in equity securities is classified as long-term if the Company anticipates to dispose of the investment over one year after the date of receipt based on information available as of the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss on investment in equity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Investment in SAFE

 

Investment in SAFE represents investment in a privately held entity that does not have a readily determinable fair value or report net asset value through a simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”). Investment in SAFE is accounted for using a measurement alternative, under which this investment is measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in SAFE is classified as long-term if the Company anticipates the equity financing or dissolution or liquidity event prescribed in the SAFE to take place over one year after the date of receipt based on information available as of the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss on investment in SAFE for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Intangible Asset, Net

 

Intangible asset represents the customer relationship acquired from business acquisition of Sigmaways and its subsidiaries. The acquired intangible asset is recognized and measured at fair value at the time of acquisition and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful life of the respective asset. The estimated useful life of the customer relationship is 8 years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other Than Goodwill

 

Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets and intangible asset, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value. There were no impairments of these assets during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Others”, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist, applying a fair-value based test. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency of HeartCore Japan, HeartCore Capital Advisors and HeartCore Financial – Japan is the Japanese Yen (“JPY”). The functional currency of HeartCore USA, HeartCore Financial and Sigmaways is the United States Dollar (“US$”). The functional currency of Sigmaways B.V. is the Euro (“EUR”). The functional currency of Sigmaways Technologies is the Canada Dollar (“CAD”). The functional currency of HeartCore Luvina is the Vietnam Dong (“VND”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the US$, and the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the unaudited consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenues under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

 

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Revenues amount represents the invoiced value, net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”) and applicable local government levies. The Consumption Tax on sales are calculated at 10% of gross sales in Japan and Vietnam, 5% of gross sales in Canada, 21% of gross sales in Netherlands and nil of gross sales in the United States.

 

The Company currently generates its revenue from the following main sources:

 

Revenues from On-Premise Software

 

Licenses for on-premise software provide the customers with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customers. The Company provides on-premise software in the form of both perpetual licenses and term-based licenses which grant the customers with the right for a specified term. Revenues from on-premise licenses are recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customers. Licenses for on-premise software are typically sold to the customers with maintenance and support services in a bundle. Revenues under the bundled arrangements are allocated based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of on-premise software and maintenance and support service. The SSP for maintenance and support services is estimated based upon observable transactions when those services are sold on a standalone basis. The SSP of on-premise software is typically estimated using the residual approach as the Company is unable to establish the SSP for on-premise licenses based on observable prices given the same products are sold for a broad range of amounts (that is, the selling price is highly variable) and a representative SSP is not discernible from past transactions or other observable evidence.

 

Revenues from Maintenance and Support Services

 

Maintenance and support services provided with software licenses consist of trouble shooting, technical support and the right to receive unspecified software updates when and if available during the subscription. Revenues from maintenance and support services are recognized over time as such services are performed. Revenues for consumption-based services are generally recognized as the services are performed and accepted by the customers.

 

Revenues from Software as a Service (“SaaS”)

 

The Company’s software is available for use as hosted application arrangements under subscription fee agreements without licensing the rights of the software to the customers. Subscription fees from these applications are recognized over time on a ratable basis over the customer agreement term beginning on the date the Company’s solution is made available to the customers. The subscription contracts are generally one year or less in length.

 

 

Revenues from Software Development and Other Miscellaneous Services

 

The Company provides customers with software development and support services pursuant to their specific requirements, which primarily compose of consulting, integration, training, custom application, and workflow development. The Company also provides other miscellaneous services, such as 3D Space photography. The Company generally recognizes revenues at a point in time when control is transferred to the customers and the Company is entitled to the payment, which is when the promised services are delivered and accepted by the customers.

 

Revenues from Customized Software Development and Services

 

The Company’s customized software development and services revenues primarily include revenues from providing software development solutions and other support services to its customers. The contract pricing is at stated billing rates per hour. These contracts are generally short-term in nature and not longer than one year in duration. For services provided under the contracts that result in the transfer of control over time, the underlying deliverable in the contracts is owned and controlled by the customers and does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company. The Company recognizes revenues on rate per hour contracts based on the amount billable to the customers, as the Company has the right to invoice the customers in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customers of the Company’s performance to date.

 

Revenues from Consulting Services

 

The Company provides public listing related consulting services to customers pursuant to the specific requirements prescribed in the contracts, which primarily include communicating with intermediary parties, preparing required documents related to the initial public offering and supporting the listing process. The consulting service contracts normally include both cash and noncash considerations. Cash consideration is paid in installment payments and is recognized in revenues over the period of the contract by reference to progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Noncash consideration is in the form of warrants of the customers and is measured at fair value at contract inception. Noncash consideration that is variable for reasons other than only the form of the consideration is included in the transaction price, but is subject to the constraint on variable consideration. The Company assesses the estimated amount of the variable noncash consideration at contract inception and subsequently, to determine when and to what extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Only when the significant revenues reversal is concluded probable of not occurring can variable consideration be included in revenues. Based on evaluation of likelihood and magnitude of a reversal in applying the constraint, the variable noncash consideration is recognized in revenues until the underlying uncertainties have been resolved.

 

The Company records reduction to revenues for estimated customer returns and allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical rates of customer returns and allowances as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which is inherently uncertain, may differ from the Company’s estimates. If the Company determines that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves it established, it would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to revenues in the period in which it makes such a determination. Reserves for customer refunds are included within other current liabilities or other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At a minimum, the Company reviews and refines these estimates on a quarterly basis.

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to the customers. The Company has determined that its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company records a contract asset, which is included in accounts receivable, current or non-current, in the consolidated balance sheets, when revenues are recognized prior to invoicing. The Company factors certain accounts receivable upon or after the performance obligation is being met. The Company records deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets when revenues are recognized subsequent to cash collection for an invoice. Deferred revenue is reported net of related uncollected deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 that were included in the opening deferred revenue balance was approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

 

 

Disaggregation of Revenues

 

The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts by product/service types, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s disaggregation of revenues by revenue stream for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as following:

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and for the periods then ended, the majority of the long-lived assets (excluding intangible asset) and revenues generated were attributed to the Company’s operation in Japan.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable, note receivable and other receivable. The Company usually does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, customer A represents 13.7% of the Company’s total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, customer B, C and D represent 18.2%, 12.8% and 11.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, no vendor accounts for more than 10% of the Company’s total purchases. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, vendor A and B represent 60.9% and 22.7%, respectively, of the Company’s total purchases.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on the estimated fair value of those awards on the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or vesting period. The Company records forfeitures as they occur.

 

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible assets, liabilities, identifiable intangible asset acquired and non-controlling interests, if any, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred.

 

Consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at the fair value as of the date of acquisition. Where the consideration in an acquisition includes contingent consideration, and the payment of which depends on the achievement of certain specified conditions post-acquisition, the contingent consideration is recognized and measured at its fair value at the acquisition date and is recorded as a liability. It is subsequently carried at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in earnings.

 

In a business combination achieved in stages, the Company remeasures the previously held equity interest in the acquiree immediately before obtaining control at its acquisition-date fair value and the remeasurement gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Fair value is determined based upon the guidance of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, and generally are determined using Level 2 inputs and Level 3 inputs. The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgments and estimates. The Company utilizes the assistance of a third-party valuation appraiser to determine the fair value as of the date of acquisition.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company performs fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic 820. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or
  Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values of the assets or liabilities.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying values of current assets, except for investments in marketable securities, and current liabilities approximated their fair values reported in the consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

 

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized below (also see NOTE 6):

Investment in SAFE

 

On April 17, 2024, the Company entered into a simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”) for $350,000 with Heart-Tech Health, Inc. (“Heart-Tech”), a non-related company, in exchange for the right to be issued certain shares of Heart-Tech’s preferred stock in connection with Heart-Tech’s future equity financing, at a 15% discount to the price per share of the preferred stock sold in the equity financing, subject to a pre-determined valuation cap. Alternatively, upon a dissolution or liquidity event such as a change in control or an initial public offering, the Company is entitled to receive a portion of $350,000. As of June 30, 2024, the Company recorded the investment of $350,000 as an investment in SAFE on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Investment in Equity Securities

 

On May 2, 2023, the Company purchased a $300,000 promissory note from a non-related company. The note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum and matures on the earlier of 1) the date of the closing of capital-raising transactions in the amount of $300,000 or more consummated by the promissory note issuer, 2) the date on which the promissory note issuer completes its initial public offering on the Nasdaq Capital Market or New York Stock Exchange, or 3) 180 days following the note issuance. The interest rate would be 12% per annum for any amount that is unpaid when due. On July 27, 2023, the Company entered into a note exchange agreement with the promissory note issuer to convert all of the promissory note principal amount and accrued interest into 600,000 shares of common shares of the promissory note issuer.

 

Investment in Warrants

 

The Company received warrants from its customers as noncash consideration from consulting services. The warrants are not registered for public sale and are initially measured at fair value at contract inception. The Company’s investment in warrants is measured on a recurring basis and carried on the balance sheets at an estimated fair value at the end of the period. The valuation of investment in warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes model based on the stock price, exercise price, expected volatility, time to maturity, and a risk-free interest rate for the term of the warrants exercise.

The Factoring Agreement specifies that eligible accounts receivable is factored with recourse. Under the terms of the recourse provision, the Company is required to reimburse the Factor, upon demand, for Purchased Receivable that is not paid on time by the customers. The performance of all obligations and payments to the Factor is personally guaranteed by Prakash Sadasivam, CEO of Sigmaways and Chief Strategy Officer (“CSO”) of the Company, and secured by all Sigmaways’ now owned and hereafter assets and any sums maintained by the Factor that are identified as payable to the Company.

 

The Factoring Agreement has an initial term of twelve months and automatically renews for successive twelve-month renewal periods unless terminated pursuant to the terms of the Factoring Agreement. The Company may terminate the Factoring Agreement with sixty days’ written notice to the Factor and is subject to certain early termination fee.

 

The Factoring Agreement contained covenants that are customary for accounts receivable-based factoring agreements and also contained provisions relating to events of default that are customary for agreements of this type.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

NOTE 18 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated on the basis of weighted average outstanding common shares. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of basic weighted average outstanding common shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs and other dilutive securities. Common shares equivalents are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed conversion of share repurchase liability to common shares related to the early exercised stock options and unvested RSUs, and are not included in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

 

The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Net income (loss) per share - basic and diluted  $(0.09)  $(0.04)  $(0.16)  $0.05 

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average common shares outstanding are the same for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share calculations, as the inclusion of common share equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.

NOTE 19 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On September 6, 2022, HeartCore USA entered into the Sigmaways Agreement to acquire 51% of the outstanding shares of Sigmaways, a company incorporated under the laws of the State of California, and its subsidiaries. The Sigmaways Agreement was further amended on December 23, 2022 and February 1, 2023, respectively, and the transaction was closed on February 1, 2023. The purchase consideration is $4,150,000, consisted of $1,000,000 in cash and 2,500,000 shares of common shares of the Company with fair value of $3,150,000 at the closing date.

 

The total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill.

 

The purchase price is allocated on the acquisition date as follows:

 

   Amount 
Current assets  $2,066,683 
Acquired intangible asset   5,100,000 
Non-current assets   47,979 
Current liabilities   (1,146,900)
Deferred tax liabilities   (1,428,000)
Non-current liabilities   (576,203)
Goodwill   3,276,441 
Non-controlling interest   (3,190,000)
Total purchase consideration  $4,150,000 

 

The results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Sigmaways and its subsidiaries have been included in the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

 

Pro forma results of operations for the business combination have not been presented because they are not material to the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing on goodwill for its reporting unit on December 31 of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss on goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
6 Months Ended
Jun. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosure required by the U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Correction of Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements

Correction of Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

During the review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company identified an error in the consolidated statement of cash flows in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a misclassification between operating and investing activities for the net proceeds received from sale of warrants, and corrected such error through a cumulative out-of-period adjustment in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 3024. The change in prepaid expenses and change in other liabilities in the operating cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 should have been $102,028 and $60,658, respectively, but was stated as $(3,257,972) and $5,060,658, respectively, resulting in net cash flows provided by operating activities overstated by $1,640,000. Concurrently, the Company failed to include net proceeds from sale of warrants included in the investing activities of $1,640,000, resulting in net cash flows provided by investing activities understated by $1,640,000 in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The error had no impact on the consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

 

In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108 (SAB 99 and SAB 108), the Company evaluated this error and, based on analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, determined that the error is not material to the previously issued financial statements and the cumulative out-of-period adjustment for the correction of this error is not material to the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Therefore, as permitted by SAB108, the Company corrected such error in the current filing through a cumulative out-of-period adjustment in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 3024.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity U.S. GAAP, the management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible asset, the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, implicit interest rate of operating and finance leases, valuation of asset retirement obligations, valuation of investment in warrants, revenue recognition and purchase price allocation with respect to business combination. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Asset Retirement Obligations

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

Pursuant to the lease agreements for the office space, the Company is responsible to restore these spaces back to its original statute at the time of leaving. The Company recognizes an obligation related to these restorations as asset retirement obligation included in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410, “Asset Retirement Obligation Accounting”. The Company capitalizes the associated asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related property and equipment. The following table presents changes in asset retirement obligations:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
Beginning balance  $208,732   $138,018 
Liabilities incurred   -    83,821 
Accretion expense   176    428 
Liabilities settled   (3,779)   - 
Foreign currency translation adjustment   (19,765)   (13,535)
Ending balance  $185,364   $208,732 

 

Software Development Costs

Software Development Costs

 

Software development costs are expensed as incurred until the point the Company establishes technological feasibility. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design or the completion of a working model. Costs incurred by the Company between establishment of technological feasibility and the point at which the product is ready for general release are capitalized and amortized over the economic life of the related products. The Company’s software development costs incurred subsequent to achieving technological feasibility have not been significant and all software development costs have been expensed as incurred.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, software development costs expensed as incurred amounted to $200,402 and $119,232, respectively. These software development costs were included in the research and development expenses.

 

 

Investment in Warrants

Investment in Warrants

 

Investment in warrants represents stock warrants of its consulting service customers. The warrants are measured at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in warrants is classified as long-term if the warrants are exercisable over one year after the date of receipt.

 

Investments in Marketable Securities

Investments in Marketable Securities

 

Investments in marketable securities represent equity securities registered for public sale with readily determinable fair value. The marketable securities were obtained through exercise of stock warrants of its consulting service customers and measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other income (expenses).

 

Investment in Equity Securities

Investment in Equity Securities

 

Investment in equity securities represents investment in a privately held entity that does not have a readily determinable fair value or report net asset value. Investment in equity securities is accounted for using a measurement alternative, under which this investment is measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in equity securities is classified as long-term if the Company anticipates to dispose of the investment over one year after the date of receipt based on information available as of the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss on investment in equity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Investment in SAFE

Investment in SAFE

 

Investment in SAFE represents investment in a privately held entity that does not have a readily determinable fair value or report net asset value through a simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”). Investment in SAFE is accounted for using a measurement alternative, under which this investment is measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in other income (expenses). Investment in SAFE is classified as long-term if the Company anticipates the equity financing or dissolution or liquidity event prescribed in the SAFE to take place over one year after the date of receipt based on information available as of the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company did not recognize any impairment loss on investment in SAFE for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Intangible Asset, Net

Intangible Asset, Net

 

Intangible asset represents the customer relationship acquired from business acquisition of Sigmaways and its subsidiaries. The acquired intangible asset is recognized and measured at fair value at the time of acquisition and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful life of the respective asset. The estimated useful life of the customer relationship is 8 years.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other Than Goodwill

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other Than Goodwill

 

Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets and intangible asset, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value. There were no impairments of these assets during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Others”, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist, applying a fair-value based test. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency of HeartCore Japan, HeartCore Capital Advisors and HeartCore Financial – Japan is the Japanese Yen (“JPY”). The functional currency of HeartCore USA, HeartCore Financial and Sigmaways is the United States Dollar (“US$”). The functional currency of Sigmaways B.V. is the Euro (“EUR”). The functional currency of Sigmaways Technologies is the Canada Dollar (“CAD”). The functional currency of HeartCore Luvina is the Vietnam Dong (“VND”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the US$, and the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from the translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the unaudited consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenues under ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

 

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Revenues amount represents the invoiced value, net of a value-added tax (“Consumption Tax”) and applicable local government levies. The Consumption Tax on sales are calculated at 10% of gross sales in Japan and Vietnam, 5% of gross sales in Canada, 21% of gross sales in Netherlands and nil of gross sales in the United States.

 

The Company currently generates its revenue from the following main sources:

 

Revenues from On-Premise Software

 

Licenses for on-premise software provide the customers with a right to use the software as it exists when made available to the customers. The Company provides on-premise software in the form of both perpetual licenses and term-based licenses which grant the customers with the right for a specified term. Revenues from on-premise licenses are recognized upfront at the point in time when the software is made available to the customers. Licenses for on-premise software are typically sold to the customers with maintenance and support services in a bundle. Revenues under the bundled arrangements are allocated based on the relative standalone selling prices (“SSP”) of on-premise software and maintenance and support service. The SSP for maintenance and support services is estimated based upon observable transactions when those services are sold on a standalone basis. The SSP of on-premise software is typically estimated using the residual approach as the Company is unable to establish the SSP for on-premise licenses based on observable prices given the same products are sold for a broad range of amounts (that is, the selling price is highly variable) and a representative SSP is not discernible from past transactions or other observable evidence.

 

Revenues from Maintenance and Support Services

 

Maintenance and support services provided with software licenses consist of trouble shooting, technical support and the right to receive unspecified software updates when and if available during the subscription. Revenues from maintenance and support services are recognized over time as such services are performed. Revenues for consumption-based services are generally recognized as the services are performed and accepted by the customers.

 

Revenues from Software as a Service (“SaaS”)

 

The Company’s software is available for use as hosted application arrangements under subscription fee agreements without licensing the rights of the software to the customers. Subscription fees from these applications are recognized over time on a ratable basis over the customer agreement term beginning on the date the Company’s solution is made available to the customers. The subscription contracts are generally one year or less in length.

 

 

Revenues from Software Development and Other Miscellaneous Services

 

The Company provides customers with software development and support services pursuant to their specific requirements, which primarily compose of consulting, integration, training, custom application, and workflow development. The Company also provides other miscellaneous services, such as 3D Space photography. The Company generally recognizes revenues at a point in time when control is transferred to the customers and the Company is entitled to the payment, which is when the promised services are delivered and accepted by the customers.

 

Revenues from Customized Software Development and Services

 

The Company’s customized software development and services revenues primarily include revenues from providing software development solutions and other support services to its customers. The contract pricing is at stated billing rates per hour. These contracts are generally short-term in nature and not longer than one year in duration. For services provided under the contracts that result in the transfer of control over time, the underlying deliverable in the contracts is owned and controlled by the customers and does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company. The Company recognizes revenues on rate per hour contracts based on the amount billable to the customers, as the Company has the right to invoice the customers in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customers of the Company’s performance to date.

 

Revenues from Consulting Services

 

The Company provides public listing related consulting services to customers pursuant to the specific requirements prescribed in the contracts, which primarily include communicating with intermediary parties, preparing required documents related to the initial public offering and supporting the listing process. The consulting service contracts normally include both cash and noncash considerations. Cash consideration is paid in installment payments and is recognized in revenues over the period of the contract by reference to progress toward complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Noncash consideration is in the form of warrants of the customers and is measured at fair value at contract inception. Noncash consideration that is variable for reasons other than only the form of the consideration is included in the transaction price, but is subject to the constraint on variable consideration. The Company assesses the estimated amount of the variable noncash consideration at contract inception and subsequently, to determine when and to what extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenues recognized will not occur once the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Only when the significant revenues reversal is concluded probable of not occurring can variable consideration be included in revenues. Based on evaluation of likelihood and magnitude of a reversal in applying the constraint, the variable noncash consideration is recognized in revenues until the underlying uncertainties have been resolved.

 

The Company records reduction to revenues for estimated customer returns and allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical rates of customer returns and allowances as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances, which is inherently uncertain, may differ from the Company’s estimates. If the Company determines that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves it established, it would record a reduction or increase, as appropriate, to revenues in the period in which it makes such a determination. Reserves for customer refunds are included within other current liabilities or other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At a minimum, the Company reviews and refines these estimates on a quarterly basis.

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to the customers. The Company has determined that its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company records a contract asset, which is included in accounts receivable, current or non-current, in the consolidated balance sheets, when revenues are recognized prior to invoicing. The Company factors certain accounts receivable upon or after the performance obligation is being met. The Company records deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets when revenues are recognized subsequent to cash collection for an invoice. Deferred revenue is reported net of related uncollected deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. The amount of revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 that were included in the opening deferred revenue balance was approximately $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

 

 

Disaggregation of Revenues

 

The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts by product/service types, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s disaggregation of revenues by revenue stream for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as following:

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and for the periods then ended, the majority of the long-lived assets (excluding intangible asset) and revenues generated were attributed to the Company’s operation in Japan.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable, note receivable and other receivable. The Company usually does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, customer A represents 13.7% of the Company’s total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, customer B, C and D represent 18.2%, 12.8% and 11.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenues.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, no vendor accounts for more than 10% of the Company’s total purchases. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, vendor A and B represent 60.9% and 22.7%, respectively, of the Company’s total purchases.

 

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The cost of services received from employees and non-employees in exchange for awards of equity instruments is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) based on the estimated fair value of those awards on the grant date and amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or vesting period. The Company records forfeitures as they occur.

 

 

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible assets, liabilities, identifiable intangible asset acquired and non-controlling interests, if any, based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred.

 

Consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at the fair value as of the date of acquisition. Where the consideration in an acquisition includes contingent consideration, and the payment of which depends on the achievement of certain specified conditions post-acquisition, the contingent consideration is recognized and measured at its fair value at the acquisition date and is recorded as a liability. It is subsequently carried at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in earnings.

 

In a business combination achieved in stages, the Company remeasures the previously held equity interest in the acquiree immediately before obtaining control at its acquisition-date fair value and the remeasurement gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Fair value is determined based upon the guidance of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, and generally are determined using Level 2 inputs and Level 3 inputs. The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgments and estimates. The Company utilizes the assistance of a third-party valuation appraiser to determine the fair value as of the date of acquisition.

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company performs fair value measurements in accordance with ASC Topic 820. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. An asset’s or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC Topic 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

  Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  Level 2: inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly; or
  Level 3: unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values of the assets or liabilities.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying values of current assets, except for investments in marketable securities, and current liabilities approximated their fair values reported in the consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

 

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized below (also see NOTE 6):
