Business Overview

We are principally involved in the business of offering discounted call services for end users and corporate segment and paperless reload services for prepaid mobile air-time reload for end user in Shanghai covering all three major telecommunication operators namely China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom. We also are venturing into e-business, or an internet business as third party payment solution for e-commerce industry in China.

Products and Services

REDtone China offer the following services to customers:

1. Discounted call services for consumers (“EMS”)
2. Discounted call services for corporate customers
3. Reload services for prepaid mobile
4. Prepaid shopping card/ third party payment service providers

Competition
 
The telecommunications industry in China is dominated by three state-run corporations: China Telecom Corporation Limited, China Mobile Communications Corporation and China United Network Communications Group Co., Ltd, all of whom have 3G licenses and engaged fixed-line and mobile business in China. 

We see competition from:

(i) Direct Telecommunication Operators namely China Telecom Corporation Limited, China Mobile Communications Corporation and China United Network Communications Group Co., Ltd. These companies may adopt a more aggressive pricing on their local and international calls and have direct impact on our discounted call services for corporate segment. Likewise, if these operators offer very competitive rates for domestic, long distance and international calls, it could pose a substitution threat to our EMS services.

(ii) Other Discounted Service Providers
The discounted service providers such as Super E-Secretary operate domestic calls and the tool to compete is to provide discount on long distance calls. This company, despite being a small player (less than 15% market share) in the Shanghai discounted consumer call market, may cause the price disruption when they compete on price aggressively.

(iii) Other Mobile air-time reload service providers
Other competitors like Smartpay, Defeng and YiQiao offers similar mobile air-time reload services in Shanghai. They entered into this reload services earlier than us but we command slightly better price advantage and better system support for paperless mobile reload in comparison with conventional paper-based reload model.  

(iv) Other prepaid shopping card/ third party payment service providers.

Other competitors like Alipay, Tenpay and 99Bill offers similar third party payment services in China.

We believe our competitive advantage is derived from the following strengths
 
(a)
Competitive Pricing

We, being one of the leading alternative voice service providers in Shanghai in terms of market share, could command the economies of scale to achieve lower minutes cost and lower operating cost per minute. Additional cost advantage is the low capital investment with self-developed technology.

By having advantage of longer market presence, credibility and dominant market share, we can afford to price its products and services competitively while maintaining healthy gross margins.

(b)
Superior Technology and Competent Technical Support
 

(c)
Innovation

Innovation embodied in all the products and services is the key to the competitive advantage of our operations. In addition, innovation also helps us to truly serve the needs of the customers and to provide value-added services and products to the customers.   

Close communication with our front line resellers will enable us to gather market intelligence and assist us in strategy formulation that is relevant to market needs

(d)
Value Added Services

For the telecommunications services we provide, customers would also benefit from value added services in our convenient reload, customer care services and support, and e-billings..
 
Regulatory Matters

REDtone China does not provide direct telecommunication services in PRC. REDtone China acts as a distributor for CTT. REDtone China has a business licence issued by PRC’s State Administration for Industry and Commerce to carry out the distribution services.  REDtone China does not require a telecommunication licence to carry out its distribution activities.  

We do not anticipate having to expend significant resources to comply with any governmental regulations applicable to our operations. We are subject to the laws and regulations which are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes.

However, the telecommunications industry is highly regulated in China. PRC laws and regulations will be modified and updated from time to time by the China government. In addition, many PRC laws and regulations are subject to extensive interpretive power of governmental agencies and commissions, and there is substantial uncertainty regarding the future interpretation and application of these laws or regulations.

Shanghai Hongsheng Net Telecommunication Co., Ltd. (“Hongsheng”), the subsidiary that carries out the telecommunication distribution services currently has a business license in connection with these services.  The business license is valid until November 28, 2026, and the Telecommunication Value-Adding Business Operating Permit is valid until November 5, 2013.  Both are subject to annual filings; however, the Company does not foresee any issue regarding renewal or material fees involved in the renewal.

Costs of Compliance with Environmental Laws

We are not presently affected by and do not have any costs associated with compliance with environmental laws.

Customers and Suppliers

Our major customers are end users and corporate clients in Shanghai. Our suppliers are mainly termination partners and telecommunication players such as CTT, China Mobile and China Unicom and China Telecom.

Intellectual Property and Research and Development

The Company has no registered patents, trademarks or copyrights and no applications for patents, trademarks or copyrights are pending.

The Company utilized intellectual property pursuant to an agreement signed between REDtone Technology Sdn. Bhd,  and REDtone Telecommunications (China) Ltd on 11 August 2005 in respect of the acquisition of the software with regards to the Customer billing, commission management, top-up management, traffic management, cardless system and gateway interface system suite.

The “REDtone” logo in Chinese and “VeryPass” logo in English are registered trademarks in China valid until October 13, 2020 and October 6, 2020 respectively.

The Company did not incur any research and development expenses in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013.



Number of Employees

Currently, we have our Chief Executive Officer to manage the Company. With the acquisition of REDtone China, as of May 31 2013, we had forty one (41) employees including nine (9) in the Management/ team, twenty two (22) in Research & Development, Customer Care, Sales and Marketing as well as Finance and Administrative, and balance of ten (10) in Technical supports. None of our employees are represented by labor unions or subject to collective bargaining agreements. We believe our employee relations are good and have no employee related dispute recorded over the years.
.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Our Business
 
Operational/Business Risk

We are principally involved in the provision of telecommunications services and solutions and office communication solutions. As such, we are subject to certain operational and business risk factors inherent in the telecommunications industry. The operational risks include, inter alia, changes in conditions such as deterioration in prevailing market conditions, changes in labor, increase in labor cost and raw material costs and continued supply of electricity which is essential for the smooth operations of its telecommunications network(s). The business risks include, inter alia, network disruption in respect of the provision of the telecommunications services and Although we seek to mitigate these operational and business risks through, inter-alia, efficient cost control, maintaining a diversified range of customers and suppliers, having good relationships with the customers, suppliers and employees of the Company and having contractual agreements for projects undertaken, there can be no assurance that any change to these factors will not have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance.
 
Competition

We are in a very competitive and rapidly changing telecommunications industry and its future success will depend on its ability to increase its market share in its markets. As we are competing against well-established telecommunications companies that offer related services which including China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile on their pricing strategies, technological advances, advertising campaigns, strategic partnerships and other initiatives. The increasing competition in this telecommunications industry has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on our business and financial performance. Competition is expected to increase with the emergence of new entrants into its markets. We believe that the provision of telecommunications services complemented with our innovative will provide the group with a competitive edge and differentiate us from its competitors.
 
Although we seek to mitigate these risks, there can be no assurance that our competitors will not develop technologies and products that are more effective than those developed by us. We have a very clear strategy to replicate the business in other provinces in China.
 
 Dependence on key personnel

The technology industry is a growing and fast-changing sector and management and operation of the business requires the employment of highly-skilled knowledge workers, whether in technology or non-technology related fields. Our management recognizes and believes that our continuing success depends to a significant extent on the abilities and continuing efforts of its existing Executive Directors, Chief Executive Officers and key personnel. The labor market for skilled personnel in this field is highly competitive. We recognize that our success depends to a significant extent upon, amongst others, our ability to attract new personnel and retain its existing skilled personnel. We seek to mitigate this risk factor by offering its employees competitive salary/remuneration and benefits packages. There can be no assurance that the measurestaken will be successful and that any change in our existing skilled personnel will not have a material effect on our business and operations

Adverse Changes to the terms of business collaboration agreement with China TieTong
 
We currently have business collaboration agreements with China TieTong. The agreement provides for renewability and is subject to changes in the terms of the agreements on renewal. We will endeavour to seek and renew the agreement on terms favourable to us. There can be no assurance that any adverse changes to the terms of the agreement (for example, from failure to reach commercially acceptable terms) would not result in higher interconnection expenses. However, as we have emerged as a significant service provider, China TieTong may views this as a business opportunity to continue and further strengthen their working relationship with us.

 
Although individual members of our management team have experience as officers of publicly-traded companies, much of that experience came prior to the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
 
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act’s internal controls requirements, we may not be able to obtain the independent auditor certifications that Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires publicly-traded companies to obtain.

If we need additional financing, the funding may not be available on satisfactory terms or at all.

We may seek to raise additional capital through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or additional corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution. To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing debt securities, we would incur substantial interest obligations, may be required to pledge assets as security for the debt and may be constrained by restrictive financial and/or operational covenants. Debt financing would also be superior to your interest in bankruptcy or liquidation. To the extent we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or product candidates, or grant licenses on unfavorable terms.

If the market does not accept our other new products or upgrades to existing products that we launch from time to time, our operating results and financial condition would be materially adversely affected.  

From time to time, we plan on launching new products and upgrades to existing products.  Our future success with our next generation product offerings will depend on our ability to accurately determine the functionality and features required by our customers, as well as the ability to enhance our products and deliver them in a timely manner. We cannot predict the present and future size of the potential market for our next generation of products, and we may incur substantial costs to enhance and modify our products and services in order to meet the demands of this potential market.

If we experience delays in product development or the introduction of new products or new versions of existing products, our business and sales will be negatively affected.  

There can be no assurance that we will not experience delays in connection with our current product development or future development activities.  If we are unable to develop and introduce new products, or enhancements to existing products in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements, it may materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.  Because we have limited resources, we must effectively manage and properly allocate and prioritize our product development efforts.  There can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful or, even if successful, that any resulting products will achieve customer acceptance.

We have only limited protection of our proprietary rights and technology.  

Our success is heavily dependent upon our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of the protections provided under applicable copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights. As part of our confidentiality procedures, we generally enter into non-disclosure agreements with our developers, distributors and marketers.  Despite these precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy certain portions of our products or to reverse engineer or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary, to use our products or technology without authorization, or to develop similar technology independently. Moreover, the laws of some other countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Furthermore, we have no patents and existing copyright laws afford only limited protection.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to protect our proprietary software against unauthorized third party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position.

We have never paid cash dividends and are not likely to do so in the foreseeable future.


We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.

Risks Associated With Doing Business in China and Asia

There are substantial risks associated with doing business in China and Asia, as set forth in the following risk factors.

Our operations and assets in China are subject to significant political and economic uncertainties.

Changes in PRC laws and regulations, their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business, results from operations and financial condition. Under current leadership of the PRC, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however, that the Chinese government will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to time without notice.

Our business is largely subject to the uncertain legal environment in China and your legal protection could be limited.

The Chinese legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, the Chinese legal system is a system in which precedents set in earlier legal cases are not generally used. The overall effect of legislation enacted over the past 20 years has been to enhance the protections afforded to foreign invested enterprises in China. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively recent and evolving rapidly, and their interpretation and enforcement involve various uncertainties. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to foreign investors, such as the right of foreign invested enterprises to hold business licenses and permits. In addition, all of our executive officers and directors are not residents of the U.S., and most of the assets of these persons are located outside the U.S. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to serve process on these individuals in the U.S., or to enforce a judgment obtained in the U.S. against the Company or any of these persons.

The Chinese governments exert substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities which could have an adverse effect on our ability to operate in China

China has only recently permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities. The Chinese governments continue to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate may be harmed by changes in laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, import and export tariffs, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. We believe our operations in China are in material compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.

Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China.  Additionally, regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in particular regions of China, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties or joint ventures.

Future inflation in China may inhibit our ability to conduct business in China.

In recent years, the Chinese economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high rates of inflation. These factors have led to the adoption by the Chinese government, from time to time, of various corrective measures designed to restrict the availability of credit or regulate growth and contain inflation. High inflation may in the future cause the Chinese government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could inhibit economic activity in China, and thereby harm the market for our products.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.

 
The substantial portion of our revenues will be settled in RMB, and any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in RMB to fund any future business activities outside China or to pay dividends or other payments in U.S. dollars. Although the Chinese government introduced regulations in 1996 to allow greater convertibility of the RMB for current account transactions, significant restrictions still remain, including the restriction that foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents at banks in China authorized to conduct foreign exchange business. In addition, conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investment and loans, is subject to governmental approval in China, and companies are required to open and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB.

The value of our securities will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB and other local currencies.

The value of our common stock will be affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and RMB, and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for our operational needs and should the RMB appreciate against the U.S. dollar at that time, our financial position, the business of the company, and the price of our common stock may be harmed. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of declaring dividends on our common stock or for other business purposes and the U.S. dollar appreciates against the RMB, then the U.S. dollar equivalent of our earnings from our subsidiaries in China would be reduced.

The Company relies on contractual agreements (VIE structure) for all of its revenues; further, the Company has no equity interest in these subsidiaries and there are risks associated with this type of arrangement in light of the legal structure in the PRC.

Redtone China has placed tremendous reliance on contractual arrangements (VIE structure) for asserting management and controls in its wholly owned subsidiaries without equity interest.  The existence of such VIE structure is due to the fact that the PRC government limits the foreign investment in the value-added telecommunication industry.  These subsidiaries account for all of the Company’s revenue.
 
The VIE structure, while effective, does involve some associated risks, which may include:

(i)
While each agreement under the Contractual Arrangements as governed by PRC laws is valid, biding, and enforceable, there is the possibility that these Contractual Arrangements will not be deemed by the relevant government authorities to be in compliance with PRC laws and regulation; or, that other government authorities will not in the future interpret existing laws, regulations or policies, or issue new laws, regulations or policies, with the result that all or some of these Contractual Arrangements would be deemed to be in violation of PRC laws.
(ii)
The PRC laws referred to herein are laws currently in force.  There is the possibility that any of such laws, or the interpretation thereof or enforcement thereof, will be changed, amended or replaced in the immediate future or in the long-term with or without retrospective effect.
 
(iii)
Under the current Contractual Arrangements, if the PRC Entities, and/or any of their individual shareholders fails to perform its/his/her respective obligations under these Contractual Arrangements, the Company may have to incur substantial costs and resources to enforce such arrangements, and rely on legal remedies under PRC laws, including, but not limited to, seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages, which we cannot assure the Company would achieve the full remedy therefrom.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Revenue Recognition

The Company assesses appropriate revenue recognition policy for each type of operation according to ASC 605-45

Revenue represents the invoiced value of services rendered and receivable during the year. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

 
·
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
 
·
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
 
·
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
 
·
Collectability is reasonably assured

Revenue Recognition policy for each of the major products and services:

1.
Discounted call services for consumer (EMS) as follow:
 
·   
Collaboration with CTT – Redtone China is appointed as the sole distributor for EMS and we will recognize the revenue when airtime is utilize by the consumer and it is on net basis which is computed based on a fixed sharing ratio of the total airtime utilize by consumers after netting of direct traffic termination cost and incidental expenses as per the collaboration agreement with CTT. Redtone China’s role for Business Collaboration with China TieTong Telecommunications (CTT) would be as “Agent” as Redtone China is the sole distributor for EMS brand owned and controlled by CTT ;  and
 
·   
Collaboration with other telecommunication providers – Redtone China will act as discounted consumer call Reseller whereby Redtone China will decide on service and package specification, pricing policy while China Unicom merely acts as passive termination partner for call traffic.  Redtone China will pay China Unicom solely based on call traffic termination by China Unicom at prescribed rate (defined as traffic termination cost in the book of Redtone China).  In this regard, Redtone China will recognize the revenue when airtime is utilized by the consumer and the value recognize is the call charges gross value.    Redtone China role for Business Collaboration with China Unicom would be as “Principal” as China Unicom is playing passive role as traffic termination partner while Redtone China is fully responsible for the entire management of discounted call services.
 
As this is a prepaid product, there is an expiry date for the product sold. If the airtime is not utilize by the expiry date, which is currently one year from the activation date, it will be deemed expired and recognize as revenue based on the remaining gross value of the expired prepaid product.
 
2.
Discounted call services for corporate as follow:
 
·   
Collaboration with CTT – the revenue recognize is the commission earn from distributing the discounted call services to corporate customer; and

 
 
·   
Collaboration with other telecommunication providers –the revenue recognize is the commission earn from distributing the discounted call services to corporate customer;
 
3.
Reload services for prepaid mobile – revenue recognize is the commission earn

4.
Prepaid Business Solution  – a flexible payment solution in order to eliminate cumbersome processes and overhead while increasing convenience, flexibility, security and profitability’ This revenue is recognize in the net commission/fee earned basis.

The Company does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements which are further elaborated in Note 3 (o) of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements will have any material impact on its financial statements.

Their opinion did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

From January 14, 2008 when Madsen was engaged, through the dismissal of Madsen on April 5, 2013, there were no disagreements between the Company and Madsen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Madsen would have caused Madsen to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports.

The Company provided a copy of this disclosure to Madsen and an opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter stating whether it agrees or disagrees with the statements made by the Company herein in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
•  
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
 
•  
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
 
•  
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In accordance with the internal control reporting requirement of the SEC, management completed an assessment of the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by our Internal Control team.

Based on this assessment and the criteria in our internal control framework, management has concluded that, as of May 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was adequately controlled.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of REDtone Asia, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of May 31, 2013 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flow for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of REDtone Asia, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of May 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Redtone Asia, Inc. and subsidiaries (formerly Hotgate Technology, Inc. (the Company) as of May 31, 2012 and 2011 and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2012.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used, significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material aspects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 2 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries and VIEs (see Note 1). The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America, and all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The functional currency for the majority of the Company’s operations is the Renminbi (“RMB”), while the reporting currency is the US Dollar.
 
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 
 
F-6

 

(a) Economic and political risk

The Company’s major operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in PRC may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company’s major operations in the PRC are subject to considerations and significant risks typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal environment. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

(b) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(c) Accounts receivable

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.

(d) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to the statement of operations as incurred, whereas significant renewals and improvements are capitalized. The cost and the related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of operations.

The Company provides for depreciation of property, plant and equipment principally by use of the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Plant and equipment are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:
                                     
Computer and software
 5 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
 5 years
Motor vehicles
 5 years
Leasehold improvements
 5 years
Telecommunication equipment
 10 years
 
Depreciation expense for the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $651,531 and $647,538, respectively.

(e) Intangible assets

Intangible assets primarily represent license and software and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods of benefit, in 20 years.

The Company performs regular review of identified intangible assets to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than the original Company policies. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company regularly assesses the recoverability of identified intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, we accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life.

Amortization expense for the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $121,632and $121,632, respectively.

(f) Available-for-sale investments
 
 
 
F-7

 

Investments in equity securities that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are recognized in the balance sheet at cost less impairment losses.

(g) Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets

The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

There is no impairment loss recognized during the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012.

(h) Income tax

Income taxes are based on pre-tax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The Company periodically assesses the need to establish valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets to the extent the Company no longer believes it is more likely than not that the tax assets will be fully utilized.

The Company evaluates a tax position to determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, based upon the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is subject to a measurement assessment to determine the amount of benefit to recognize and the appropriate reserve to establish, if any. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, no benefit is recognized.

(i) Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
 
 
Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
 
 
Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 
 
Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

We measure the fair value of money market funds and equity securities based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. All other financial instruments were valued based on quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

(j) Revenue recognition

The Company assesses appropriate revenue recognition policy for each type of operation according to ASC 605-45

Revenue represents the invoiced value of services rendered and receivable during the year. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
 
 
 
F-8

 

o Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
o Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
o The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
o Collectability is reasonably assured

Revenue recognition policy for each of the major products and services:

1.  
Discounted call services for consumer (EMS) as follow:

o
Collaboration with CTT – Redtone China is appointed as the sole distributor for EMS and will recognize revenue when airtime is utilized by the consumer and the revenue recognized is on net basis which is computed based on a fixed sharing ratio of the total airtime utilized by consumers after netting of direct traffic termination cost and incidental expenses. Redtone China’s role for Business Collaboration with China TieTong Telecommunications (CTT) would be as “Agent” as Redtone China is the sole distributor for EMS brand owned and controlled by CTT; and

o
Collaboration with other telecommunication providers – Redtone China will act as a discounted consumer call Reseller whereby Redtone China will determine the service and package specification and pricing policies whereas China Unicom acts as a passive termination partner for call traffic.  Redtone China will pay China Unicom solely based on call traffic termination by China Unicom at a prescribed rate (defined as traffic termination costs on the books of Redtone China).  In this regard, Redtone China will recognize the revenue when airtime is utilized by the consumer and the value recognized as revenue is the call charges gross value.    Redtone China’s role for Business Collaboration with China Unicom would be as “Principal” as China Unicom is playing a passive role as traffic termination partner while Redtone China is fully responsible for the entire management of discounted call services

As this is a prepaid product, there is an expiration date for the product sold. If the airtime is not utilized by the expiration date, which is currently one year from the activation date, it will be deemed expired and revenue will be recognized based on the remaining gross value of the expired prepaid product.
 
2.  
Discounted call services for corporate as follow:

o
Collaboration with CTT – the revenue recognize is the commission earned from distributing the discounted call services to corporate customer; and

o
Collaboration with other telecommunication providers –the revenue recognized is the commission earned from distributing the discounted call services to corporate customer.

3.  
Reload services for prepaid mobile – revenue recognized is the commission earned.
 
4.  
Prepaid shopping-card services – revenue recognized is the commission earned.
 
(k) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of May 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no dilutive securities outstanding.

(l) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

(m) Retirement benefits

PRC mandates companies to contribute funds into the national retirement system, which benefits qualified employees based on where they were born within the country. The Company pays the required payment for qualified employees of the Company.
 
 
 
F-9

 

(n) Foreign currency translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (US$). The functional currencies of the Company are the Hong Kong dollar (HK$) and the Renminbi (RMB), respectively. Capital accounts of the financial statements are translated into United States dollars from HK$ or RMB at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year. The translation rates are as follows:

   
May 31, 2013
   
May 31, 2012
 
             
Year end RMB : US$ exchange rate
   
0.1618
     
0.1578
 
Average yearly RMB : US$ exchange rate
   
0.1590
     
0.1585
 
Year end HK$ : US$ exchange rate
   
0.1288
     
0.1288
 
Average yearly HK$ : US$ exchange rate
   
0.1288
     
0.1288
 

On July 21, 2005, the PRC changed its foreign currency exchange policy from a fixed RMB/US$ exchange rate into a flexible rate under the control of the PRC’s government.

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.

 (o) Recent accounting pronouncements

In October 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-04, Technical Corrections and Improvements. This ASU make technical corrections, clarifications, and limited-scope improvements to various Topics throughout the Codification. The amendments in this ASU that will not have transition guidance will be effective upon issuance for both public entities and nonpublic entities. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. For nonpublic entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013.

In October 2012, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2012-05, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). This ASU addresses how cash receipts arising from the sale of certain donated financial assets, such as securities, should be classified in the statement of cash flows of not-for-profit entities (NFPs). Some NFPs classify those cash receipts as investing cash inflows, while other entities classify them as either operating cash inflows or financing cash inflows, consistent with their treatment of inflows arising from cash contributions. The objective of this Update is for an NFP to classify cash receipts from the sale of donated financial assets consistently with cash donations received in the statement of cash flows if those cash receipts were from the sale of donated financial assets that upon receipt were directed without the NFP imposing any limitations for sale and were converted nearly immediately into cash. The amendments in the ASU are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim fiscal periods within those years, beginning after June 15, 2013. Retrospective application to all periods presented upon the date of adoption is permitted. Early adoption from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption is permitted.

In January 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This ASU clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Specifically, ASU 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The FASB undertook this clarification project in response to concerns expressed by U.S. stakeholders about the standard’s broad definition of financial instruments. After the standard was finalized, companies realized that many contracts have standard commercial provisions that would equate to a master netting arrangement, significantly increasing the cost of compliance at minimal value to financial statement users. An entity is required to apply the amendments in ASU 2013-01 for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The effective date is the same as the effective date of ASU 2011-11.
 
 
 
F-10

 

In February 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU improves the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP.

The new amendments will require an organization to:

           Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period.
           Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). A private company is required to meet the reporting requirements of the amended paragraphs about the roll forward of accumulated other comprehensive income for both interim and annual reporting periods. However, private companies are only required to provide the information about the effect of reclassifications on line items of net income for annual reporting periods, not for interim reporting periods. The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies and are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, for private companies. Early adoption is permitted.

In March 2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830). This ASU resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation—Overall, or Subtopic 830-30, Foreign Currency Matters—Translation of Financial Statements, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights)within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this Update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. This ASU is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF11Ar—Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830), which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities the amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments should be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Prior periods should not be adjusted. Early adoption is permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments, it should apply them as of the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year of adoption.
