(1) 2 buildings for safety inspection &emissions check;

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.
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)
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.
(c)
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.

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

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 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 United Network Communications Company Ltd (“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.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 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
(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 and other receivables
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.
Provision for doubtful accounts for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $nil and $141,289, respectively.
(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 attributable to continuing operations for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $541,142 and $484,432, respectively. Depreciation expense attributable to discontinued operations for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $3,689 and $182,797, respectively.
(e) Intangible assets
IT license and software and operating license and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods of benefit, in 20 years. Customer base are amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 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 attributable to continuing operations for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to $321,033 and $137,452, respectively. Amortization expense attributable to discontinued operations for the years ended May 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $nil and $nil, respectively.
(f) Available-for-sale investments
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, 2015 and 2014.
(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:
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.
Discontinued 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, 2015 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.
(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:
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
The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other entities issued new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting guidance during the period. Management has carefully considered the new pronouncements that altered generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any other new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to May 31, 2015 through the date these financial statements were issued.

The total consolidated VIE assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet are as follows (QBA included in comparative amounts):
The results of VIEs (including QBA) are as follows, and are included in the consolidated statements of income of the Company:
Under the contractual arrangements with the VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the VIEs and can have assets transferred freely out of the VIEs without restrictions. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset of VIEs that can only be used to settle obligations of the respective VIEs, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves of VIEs as of May 31, 2015 and 2014. Since the VIEs are incorporated as limited liability companies under the PRC Company Law, creditors of the VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. There is currently no contractual arrangement that would require the Company to provide additional financial support to the VIEs. As the Company is conducting certain businesses mainly through its VIEs, the Company may provide such support on a discretionary basis in the future, which could expose the Company to a loss.
