SBC MEDICAL GROUP HOLDINGS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Business Overview

 

SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (“SBC USA”), a holding company, was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on January 20, 2023. SBC USA, through its consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”), is principally engaged in medical industry to provide comprehensive management services to the medical corporations and their clinics, including but not limited to licensure of the use of trademark and brand name of “Shonan Beauty Clinic”, sales of medical equipment, medical consumables procurement services, and management of customer’s loyalty program, etc.

 

SBC USA and its consolidated subsidiaries and VIE are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”, “we” and “us”, unless specific reference is made to an entity.

 

Reorganization

 

In June 2020 and April 2022, SBC Inc., a company incorporated in Japan in June 2007, and Advice Innovation Co., Ltd., a company incorporated in Japan in December 2018, were merged with and into SBC Medical Group Co., Ltd. (“SBC Japan”), a company incorporated in Japan in September 2017 and previously known as Aikawa Medical Management Co., Ltd., respectively, with SBC Japan being the surviving entity in such mergers.

 

In April 2023, SBC Japan acquired 100% equity interest of L’Ange Cosmetique Co., Ltd. (“L’Ange Sub”), a company incorporated in Japan in June 2003, and Shobikai Co., Ltd. (“Shobikai Sub”), a company incorporated in Japan in June 2014, through share exchange. As a result, L’Ange Sub and Shobikai Sub become wholly owned subsidiaries of SBC Japan.

 

In August 2023, SBC Japan and L’Ange Sub disposed of their entire equity interest in Ai Inc. and Lange Inc., both incorporated in the Federated States of Micronesia in January 2022, respectively, for cash. As a result, Ai Inc. and Lange Inc. cease to be subsidiaries of the Company, with the related investment in capital being treated as a deemed distribution and the disposal proceeds treated as a deemed contribution.

 

In September 2023, SBC USA acquired 100% equity interest of SBC Japan through share exchange with one share of its common stock. As a result, SBC Japan becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of SBC USA.

 

The above reorganization has been accounted for as a recapitalization among entities under common control since the same controlling shareholder controlled these entities before and after the reorganization. The consolidation of the Company has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the earliest period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a) 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”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited 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 a 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.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, and consolidated VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The results of the subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Company obtained control and continues to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. All significant transactions and balances among the Company’s subsidiaries, including the VIE, have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

In accordance with the guidance for the consolidation of VIE, the Company identifies its variable interests and analyzes to determine if the entity in which the Company has a variable interest is a VIE. Determination if a variable interest is a VIE includes both quantitative and qualitative consideration. For those entities determined to be VIEs within the scope of the VIE model, a further quantitative and qualitative analysis is performed to determine if the Company is deemed the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant.

 

F-9

 

 

SBC MEDICAL GROUP HOLDINGS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

The Company would consolidate those entities in which it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. The Company based its qualitative analysis on its review of the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and the relevant development, operating management and financial agreements.

 

The Company evaluates its relationship with its VIE on an ongoing basis to determine whether it continues to be the primary beneficiary of its consolidated VIE, or whether it has become the primary beneficiary of the VIE it does not consolidate.

 

Voting Model

 

If a legal entity fails to meet any of the three characteristics of a VIE, we then evaluate such entity under the voting model. Under the voting model, we consolidate the entity if we determine that we, directly or indirectly, have greater than 50% of the voting rights and that other equity holders do not have substantive participating rights.

 

Assessment of Medical Corporations in Japan

 

SBC Japan, L’Ange Sub and Shobikai Sub are each designated as a medical service corporation (the “MSC”) to provide services to the MCs (the “MCs”) in Japan. To maintain and strengthen the business relationship and to secure the source of revenues from the MCs, the Company acquired equity interests in the following MCs throughout the years.

 

Name of the MC  Percentage of
Equity Interest
Acquired
   Percentage of
Voting Interest
Held
 
Medical Corporation Shobikai   100%    0%
Medical Corporation Kowakai   100%   0%
Medical Corporation Nasukai   100%   0%
Medical Corporation Aikeikai   100%   0%
Medical Corporation Jukeikai   100%   0%
Medical Corporation Ritz Cosmetic Surgery   100%   0%

 

As non-profit organizations, MCs are required to comply with the medical-related laws and regulations of the Japanese Medical Care Act (the “Act”, “Medical Care Act”). In accordance with the Act, the highest authority of MCs is its general meeting of members (the “Members”), with each Member having one voting right. The Company, through the MSCs, has no right to elect the Members, no decision-making ability and no right to dividend or any profit distribution, but has the right to receive distribution of the residual assets of the MCs.

 

Since the not-for-profit entities scope exception to the variable interest model is applicable to the MCs, the Company evaluates its business relationship, franchisor-franchisee agreements and/or services agreements with the MCs in Japan under the voting model. The Company has concluded that consolidation of the MCs is not appropriate for the periods presented as it does not have a majority voting interest in the Members of the MCs nor does it have a controlling financial interest in the MCs. The equity interests in the MCs held by the Company are recorded as long-term investments in MCs — related parties on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. The transactions between the Company and the MCs are disclosed in Note 17 Related Party Transactions.

 

(b) Foreign Currency

 

The Company maintains its books and record in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY” or “¥”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. 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 other income (expenses) in the unaudited statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$” or “$”), and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translations of Financial Statements”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ 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 loss within the unaudited statements of changes in stockholder’s equity.

 

Translation of amounts from local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:

 

   June 30,
2024
   June 30,
2023
 
Current JPY:US$1 exchange rate   160.8680    145.9900 
Average JPY:US$1 exchange rate   152.1868    135.8533 

 

(c) 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 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, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-term investments in MCs — related parties, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions, the recognition and measurement of impairment of investments in securities, allowance for credit losses and implicit interest rate of operating leases. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and evaluates these estimates on an on-going basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(d) Customer Loans Receivable and Note Payables — Related Parties

 

In February 2023, the Company started to provide loan services to certain customers of the related-party MCs (“End Customers”). When a loan is granted to finance an End Customer’s purchase, the Company issues a promissory note to the MC to pay off the purchase transaction on behalf of the End Customer, and the End Customer is required to repay the Company in monthly installments. The loans provided to the End Customers are unsecured, interest-bearing, and due in three months to five years, depending on the End Customers’ choice of the loan service term.

 

The Company records the customer loans receivables at gross loan receivables less unamortized costs of issuance fees or discounts, which are amortized over the life of the loan to interest income. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated interest income of $490,210 and $443, respectively, from the loan services, which were included in revenues.

 

Management periodically evaluates individual End Customer’s financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when necessary. Customer loans receivable are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company determined no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary for customer loans receivable.

 

The Company repays each promissory note issued to the MCs at the end of the term with a lump sum payment. The promissory notes are unsecured, bear no interest, and are due in three months to five years, depending on the term of the loans provided to the corresponding End Customers.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

(e) Intangible Assets, Net

 

Intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized and are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

 

Intangible assets with finite lives are initially recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives of the respective assets. Acquired intangible assets from business combinations are recognized and measured at fair value at the time of acquisition. Those assets represent assets with finite lives are further amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful lives of the respective assets.

 

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:

 

   Useful Life
Patent use right  16 years

 

(f) Goodwill, Net

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in the business combination. In accordance with FASB 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.

 

The Company would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

 

When performing the annual impairment test, the Company has the option of performing a qualitative or quantitative assessment to determine if an impairment has occurred. If a qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would be required to perform a quantitative impairment analysis for goodwill. The quantitative analysis requires a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The fair value is generally determined using the income approach with the discounted cash flow valuation method, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenues and cash flows and the discount rates.

 

(g) Impairment of Long-lived Assets Other Than Goodwill

 

Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment, intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets 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.

 

(h) Long-term Investments

 

Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values

 

The Company holds investments in equity securities of publicly listed companies, for which the Company does not have significant influence. Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in other income (expenses).

 

F-12

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

Investments in privately held companies and organizations that do not report NAV per share

 

The Company’s long-term investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share are accounted for using a measurement alternative, under which these investments are measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in other income (expenses).

 

The Company recognizes both realized and unrealized gain and losses in its unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), classified with other income (expenses). Unrealized gains and losses represent observable price changes for investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share. Realized gains and losses represent the difference between proceeds received upon disposition of investments and their historical or adjusted cost. Impairments are realized losses, which result in an adjusted cost, and represent charges to reduce the carrying values of investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share, if impairments are deemed other than temporary, to their estimated fair values.

 

(i) Long-term Investments in MCs — Related Parties

 

Long-term investments in MCs — related parties represent the payments to obtain equity interests of the MCs in Japan, made by the Company through SBC Japan, a company designated as a MSC in Japan. In accordance with the Act and articles of incorporation of the MCs, which are non-profit organizations, the equity interest holders of MCs are prohibited from receiving any profit distribution from MCs but have the right to receive distribution of the residual assets of the MCs in proportion to the amount of their contribution. As of the balance sheet dates, the investments represent probable future economic benefit to be realized at the time of dissolution of MCs or the equity interests being sold.

 

The investments in MCs — related parties are accounted for using a measurement alternative, under which these investments are measured at cost, less impairment, and adjusted for observable price changes. The Company reviews the investments in MCs for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The payments made for such investments are classified as investing activities in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows. The MCs are considered related parties as the relatives of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company being the Members of the MCs. Also see Note 2(a) for further details.

 

(j) Lease

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the arrangement. An arrangement is or contains a lease if there are identified assets and the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified assets means the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset.

 

The Company classifies its leases as either finance leases or operating leases if it is the lessee, or sales-type, direct financing, or operating leases if it is the lessor. The following criteria is used to determine if a lease is a finance lease (as a lessee) or sales-type or direct financing lease (as a lessor):

 

(i) ownership is transferred from lessor to lessee by the end of the lease term;

 

(ii) an option to purchase is reasonably certain to be exercised;

 

(iii) the lease term is for the major part of the underlying asset’s remaining economic life;

 

(iv) the present value of lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying assets; or

 

(v) the underlying asset is specialized and is expected to have no alternative use at the end of the lease term.

 

F-13

 

 

SBC MEDICAL GROUP HOLDINGS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

If any of the above criteria is met, the Company accounts for the lease as a finance, a sales-type, or a direct financing lease. If none of the criteria is met, the Company accounts for the lease as an operating lease.

 

Lessee accounting

 

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases other than those with a term of twelve months or less as the Company has elected to apply the short-term lease recognition exemption. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are classified and recognized at the commencement date of a lease. Lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. Right-of-use assets consist of (i) initial measurement of the lease liability; (ii) lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; and (iii) initial direct costs incurred by the Company.

 

As the rates implicit on the Company’s leases for which it is the lessee are not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. When determining the incremental borrowing rate, the Company assesses multiple variables such as lease term, collateral, economic conditions, and its creditworthiness.

 

From time to time, we may enter into sublease agreements with third parties. Our subleases generally do not relieve us of our primary obligations under the corresponding head lease. As a result, we account for the head lease based on the original assessment at lease inception. We determine if the sublease arrangement is either a sales-type, direct financing, or operating lease at inception of the sublease. If the total remaining lease cost on the head lease for the term of the sublease is greater than the anticipated sublease income, the right-of-use asset is assessed for impairment. Our subleases are generally operating leases and we recognize sublease income on a straight-line basis over the sublease term.

 

Lessor accounting — operating leases

 

The Company accounts for the revenue from its lease contracts by utilizing the single component accounting policy. This policy requires the Company to account for, by class of underlying asset, the lease component and nonlease component(s) associated with each lease as a single component if two criteria are met.

 

(i)the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease component and the nonlease component(s) are the same; and

 

(ii)the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately.

 

Lease components consist primarily of fixed rental payments, which represent scheduled rental amounts due under our leases. Nonlease components consist primarily of tenant recoveries representing reimbursements of rental operating expenses, including recoveries for utilities, repairs and maintenance and common area expenses.

 

If the lease component is the predominant component, we account for all revenues under such lease as a single component in accordance with the lease accounting standard. Conversely, if the nonlease component is the predominant component, all revenues under such lease are accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard. Our operating leases qualify for the single component accounting, and the lease component in each of our leases is predominant. Therefore, we account for all revenues from our operating leases under the lease accounting standard and classify these revenues as rental income.

 

The Company commences recognition of rental income related to the operating leases at the date the property is ready for its intended use by the tenant and the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Income from rentals related to fixed rental payments under operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective operating lease terms. Any amounts received but will be recognized as revenue in future periods are classified in advances from customers in the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

SBC MEDICAL GROUP HOLDINGS INCORPORATED

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

Lessor accounting — sales-type leases

 

The Company purchases medical equipment from vendors and leases it to its customers, who are required to pay installments throughout the term of the leases. The lease agreements include lease payments that are fixed, do not contain residual value guarantees or variable lease payments. The lease terms are based on the non-cancellable term of the lease and the buyer may have options to terminate the lease in advance when meets certain conditions. The customers obtain control of the medical equipment when they physically possess the equipment.

 

The Company recognizes sales from sales-type leases equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments discounted using the implicit interest rate in the lease and cost of sales equal to carrying amount of the asset being leased and any initial direct costs incurred, less the present value of the unguaranteed residual. Interest income from the leases is recognized over the lease terms and included in revenues, net.

 

The Company excludes from the measurement of its lease revenues any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer.

 

(k) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from franchising services, procurement services, management services and other services or product sales 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. Revenue amount represents the invoiced value, net of consumption tax and applicable local government levies, if any. The consumption tax on sales is calculated at 10% of gross sales. The Company does not have significant remaining unfulfilled performance obligations or contract balances.

 

The Company reports revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company acts as a principal or agent in the transaction. The determination of whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in a transaction is based on the evaluation of whether (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or service, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If the terms of a transaction do not indicate the Company is acting as a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from rental services under ASC Topic 842, “Leases”.

 

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

 

Franchising Revenue

 

The Company generates franchising revenue (royalty income) by licensing its intellectual properties, including but not limited to the Company’s brand name (“Shonan Beauty Clinic”), trade name, patents, and trademarks, as a franchisor pursuant to franchise agreements with the medical corporations (the “MCs”) in Japan. Prior to April 2023, royalty income was based on a percentage of sales and recognized at the time when the related sales occurred; since April 2023, it is based on a fixed amount to each clinic of the MCs; since September 2023, it is based on a fixed amount to each MC and a fixed amount to each clinic of the MCs and recognized over time as services are rendered.

 

F-15

 

 

SBC MEDICAL GROUP HOLDINGS INCORPORATED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

Procurement Revenue

 

The Company generates procurement services revenue by purchasing primarily advertising services and medical materials from qualified vendors on behalf of MCs to maintain brand quality consistency. Procurement services revenue is recognized at the point in time upon the delivery of products or over time as services are performed. Occasionally, the Company receives vendor discounts on certain large purchases. It recognizes revenue based on actual payments and will return the over-collection resulting from such discounts to MCs.

 

Management Services Revenue

 

The Company provides loyalty program management services, labor supporting services, function supporting services, and management consulting services to MCs.

 

Loyalty program management services

 

The Company awards loyalty points on behalf of MCs to MCs’ customers, who earn loyalty points from each qualified purchase made at the loyalty program participating clinics of MCs, in exchange for a handling fee. The revenue is based on a percentage of the related payment amount made by MCs’ customers and is recognized when the loyalty points are awarded.

 

At the time loyalty points are awarded, a MC pays the Company cash in an amount equivalent to the awarded loyalty points, which is recorded as advances from customers. When a MC’s customers redeem the loyalty points, the Company returns the cash back to the MC in an amount equivalent to the redeemed loyalty points. The awarded loyalty points expire if a MC’s customer does not make any additional qualified purchase at a participating clinic within a year. The Company accumulates and tracks the points on behalf of MCs until the loyalty points expire at which time the Company recognizes an amount equivalent to the expired loyalty points as revenue, which is normally not significant.

 

The Company also awards certain points to MCs’ customers on behalf of MCs for free in order to increase the volume of MC’s sales, from which the Company earns other types of revenues, such as royalty income. When a MC’s customers redeem such points, the Company reimburses MC in an amount equivalent to the used free points and records it as a reduction of the revenue recognized.

 

The Company is an agent in the management of loyalty programs, and as a result, revenues are recognized net of the cost of redemptions.

 

Labor supporting services

 

The Company generates revenue by dispatching staff to MCs to provide a range of services, primarily including clinic operation, IT, and administrative services. The Company recognizes the revenue over the time when services are rendered.

 

Function supporting services

 

The revenue is derived from providing functional supporting services to MCs, such as accounting and human resources services. The Company recognizes the revenue over the time when services are rendered.

 

Management consulting services

 

The Company generates revenue by providing consulting services to MCs in relation to business operations of cosmetic dermatology. The Company recognizes the revenue over the time when services are rendered.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

Rental Services Revenue

 

The Company generates rental income from operating leases and sales-type leases, which is accounted for under ASC Topic 842. Operating lease revenue is generally recognized on straight-line basis over the terms of the lease agreements and sales-type leases revenue is generally recognized on the lease commitment date. Also see Note 2(j).

 

Other Revenues

 

The Company generates other miscellaneous revenues such as accommodation services income, medicine dispensed sales revenue, brokerage services revenue, construction services revenue, pilot training services revenue, interest income, etc. These revenues are recognized when the Company satisfies performance obligations.

 

(l)Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, customer loans receivable and other receivables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk. 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, B, C and D represent 24%, 22%, 24% and 10% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, customer A, B and C represent 39%, 23% and 21% of the Company’s total revenues, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2024, customer A, B, C and D account for 16%, 26%, 25% and 11% of the Company’s total outstanding accounts receivable, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, customer A, B, C and D account for 26%, 24%, 22% and 13% of the Company’s total outstanding accounts receivable, respectively.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, vendor A represents 15% of the Company’s total purchases. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, vendor A and D represent 16% and 12% of the Company’s total purchases, respectively.

 

As of June 30, 2024, vendor A and B represent 23% and 16% of the Company’s total outstanding accounts payable, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, vendor A, B and D represent 19%, 14% and 14% of the Company’s total outstanding accounts payable, respectively.

 

(m)    Related Parties and Transactions

 

The Company identifies related parties, and accounts for, discloses related party transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” and other relevant ASC standards.

 

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

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

(n)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 and current liabilities approximated their fair values reported in the unaudited consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Debt that bears variable interest rates index to prime also approximates fair value as it reprices when market interest rates change.

 

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized below.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures” to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 for all other entities, on a prospective basis.

NOTE 3 — VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

 

A VIE is defined as a legal entity whose equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any of the following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary is identified as the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

 

The Company followed ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation”, utilizing a qualitative approach, and determined that it is the primary beneficiary of its VIE, Aikawa Medical Management, Inc. (“AMM”) and consolidated the result of operations, financial conditions, and cash flows of AMM in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 — DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARY

 

Cellpro Japan Co., Ltd.

 

On January 1, 2024, the Company disposed of its subsidiary, Cellpro Japan Co., Ltd. (“Cellpro”), to Waqoo Inc. (“Waqoo”), a Japanese company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, of which the CEO of the Company is a non-controlling shareholder with more than 10% ownership interest, in exchange for 353,600 shares of Waqoo’s common stock through a share exchange agreement.

After the stock exchange, SBC Japan became a shareholder with less than 10% ownership interest of Waqoo. The common stock of Waqoo was recorded as an investment in a public entity with readily determinable fair value, which was included in long-term investments. Also see Note 9 for further details.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made income tax payments of $16,191,178, including enterprise tax payments of $4,800,458, which were deductible for tax purpose. The effective tax rate was 31.28% and 43.78% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Since October 2023, the Company has been undergoing a tax examination conducted by the Japanese tax authority for the income tax returns filed by SBC Japan for the years ended March 31, 2016 through March 31, 2023, the income tax returns filed by L’Ange Sub for the years ended February 28, 2021 through February 28, 2023, and the income tax returns filed by Shobikai Sub for the years ended March 31, 2021 through March 31, 2023.

There was no material difference between the final result and the income tax liabilities recorded by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

NOTE 15 — SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY

 

The Company was authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

In January 2023, the Company issued 1,000 shares of common stock to the CEO of the Company with a purchase price of $0.01 per share. In September 2023, the Company issued 7,947,999 shares of common stock to the CEO of the Company with a purchase price of $0.0001 per share. Since the Company was solely owned by the CEO of the Company, there was no change in relative shareholder rights, rank, or value before and after these issuances, and therefore net income per share was retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 7,949,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no preferred stock issued and outstanding.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

In January 2024, the Company terminated 449,190 common stock options granted to doctors of related-party MCs (the “Holders”) in September 2023. In connection with the termination, the Company entered into a common stock purchase warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement III”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders warrants to acquire an equal number of shares of common stock as previously subject to the options issued to each of the Holders in September 2023. The warrants may be exercised on the three-month, fifteen-month, and twenty-seven-month anniversary of the date of the Company completes its merger or other transaction with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) wherein the Company becomes a subsidiary of the SPAC (the “Merger”) or the occurrence of other fundamental events defined in the Warrant Agreement III (the “Trigger Date”), to acquire an amount equal to one-third of the applicable shares of common stock, respectively, with an exercise price per share of $0.0001. The warrants were fully vested on the grant date and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the Trigger Date.
