PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Historical Overview
Hotgate Technology, Inc. (the “Company” or “HTGT”) (formerly RNS Software, Inc.) was incorporated on January 6, 2005 in Nevada as File4ward Software, Inc.
On May 16, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement for Share Exchange (the “Agreement”) with Hotgate Holding Limited, a British Virgin Island company (“HHL”) and the shareholders of HHL, namely Redtone Telecommunications Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian company, Pang Wee Tak, Alvin James and Michael Yang, individually. Such shareholders collectively own 100% of the shares of HHL. Upon completion of the Agreement, the Company had a total of approximately 186,321,429 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding. In connection with these changes, the Company received a new trading symbol of HTGT on June 9, 2008.
Since the previous 4th quarter of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009, the management has implemented a drastic downsizing arrangement for the Group as a measure to braise through the severe economic crisis and t he expenses and resources has been kept down in line.
On September 30, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company accepted the resignation of Ms. Li Li Wong as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, as was previously reported on Form 8-K filed October 2, 2009.

Business of the Issuer
Business Overview
We are an information and communication technology (ICT) application provider in China and Asia specializing in internet connectivity, internet value-added services, wireless solutions and voice services for the hospitality industry. We provide consulting, implementation, operating and support services for ICT systems such as telephone systems, internet systems, wireless solutions, and online concierge systems to hotels. Currently, we have offices located in Hong Kong, and Malaysia.
However, in anticipation of the tougher year coming ahead, the Group has initiated the cost contention exercise last year and non-profit generating business activities are gradually phasing out, while the management continues to seek new profitable business opportunities.
4
In line with the management’s decision to seek new profitable business, the Company entered into an Agreement for a Share Exchange (the “Agreement”) on August 2, 2010 with REDtone Technology Sdn. Bhd. and REDtone International Berhad, both of which are incorporated in Malaysia, which was previously reported on Form 8-K filed on August 3. Upon the closing of t he transactions contemplated in the Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% ownership of REDtone Telecommunications (China) Limited (“REDtone China”). REDtone China has subsidiaries in Shanghai which are principally involved in the business of offering discounted call services for end users and corporate segment in Shanghai. Redtone China is also conducting 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. The details of the Agreement are discussed in Note 18 of the Company Financial Statements.
Products and Services
The Hospitality Hotgate Solution is a tailor-made solution for hotels that offer traditional voice services.
The voice suite provides traditional telecommunication applications including phone systems, voice mail, fax and other phone-based services.
Competition
The market of ICT solutions for the hospitality industry throughout Asia is highly competitive. We compete with various companies in respect to specific elements of our business. Many of our competitors are large companies with substantially greater resources. Our competitors also include small firms offering network services, divisions of large entities and other large independent firms. Our major competitors included InterTouch owned by NTT DoCoMo, Inc., iBAHN owned by STSN Inc., Juru Data Sdn Bhd and FCS Computer Systems. Due to severe market competition, our business has not achieved the targeted sales volume and we are looking for strategic partners to enhance our market presence or possibly merger and acquisition opportunities to strengthen our position.
Regulatory Matters
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.
Costs of Compliance with Environmental Laws
We are not presently affected by and do not have any costs associated with compliance with environmental laws.
Custome rs and Suppliers
Our major customers are hotels located in Asia. We serve a wide range of hotels from domestic motels to international brands. We provide our customers with ICT services through our product offering.
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 its wholly owned subsidiary, Hotgate Technology (M) Sdn Bhd and Synchroweb Technology Sdn Bhd on December 18, 2006 in respect of the HOTGATE patent and solutions for internet bill ing gateway and customer list, and another agreement between its wholly owned subsidiary, Hotgate VMS Technology Limited (“VMS”) and Redtone Technology Sdn Bhd on 28 February 2009 which grants VMS a non-transferable and non-exclusive perpetual license to use the licensed Telecare Voice Mail System source code.
The Company did not incur any research and development expenses in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010.
5
Number of Employees
Currently, we have our Chief Executive Officer to manage the Company. With the acquisition of RED tone China, we anticipate the need to hire additional employees in the very near future. Our existing personnel are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements and management believes that its relationship with the Company’s personnel is good.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Our Business
Our customers are concentrated in a limited number of industries.
Our customers are concentrated primarily in the hospitality industry, where the current trend is to improve their ICT offerings to cope with the demand of their customers in efficient and convenient communication services. Our ability to generate revenue depends on the demand for our services in these industries. An economic do wnturn, or a slowdown or reversal of the tendency in any of these industries in investment of ICT solutions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and fragmented and we may not be able to maintain market share.
We operate in highly competitive markets and expect competition to persist and intensify in the future. Our major competitors include InterTouch owned by NTT DoCoMo Inc., iBAHN Corporation, Juru Data Sdn Bhd and FCS Computer Systems. Our competitors also include small firms offering network services, divisions of large entities and other large independent firms. We face the risk that new competitors with greater resources than us will enter our markets.
Competition among hotel companies in greater China can lead to a reduction in services fees that can be charged by such companies. If a reduction in services fees negatively impacts revenue generated by our customers, they may require us to reduce the price of our services, or seek competitors that charge less, which could reduce our market share. If we must significantly reduce the price of our services, the decrease in revenue could adversely affect our profitability.
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 requ ired 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.
We must respond quickly and effectively to new technological developments.
Our business is highly dependent on our computer and telecommunications equipment and software systems. Our failure to maintain our technological capabilities or to respond effectively to technological changes could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our future success also depends on our ability to enhance existing software and systems and to respond to changing technological developments. If we are unable to successfully develop and bring to market new software and systems in a timely manner, our competitors’ technologies or services may render our products or services noncompetitive or obsolete.
6
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 succes s 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.
Lower than expected demand for our products and services will impair our business and could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
If we meet a lower demand for our products and services than we are expecting, our business, results of operations and financial condition are likely to be materially adversely affected. Moreover, overall demand for ICT products and services in general may grow slowly or decrease in upcoming quarters and years because of unfavorable general economic conditions, decreased spending by hospitality industry, food and drinks and media industries in need of ICT solutions or otherwise. This may reflect a saturation of the market for ICT solutions. To the extent that there is a slowdown in the overall market for ICT solutions, our business, results of operations and financial condition are likely to be materially adversely affected.
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.
Customer cl aims, whether successful or not, could be expensive and could harm our business.
The sale and support of our products may entail the risk of product liability claims. Our agreements typically contain provisions designed to limit exposure to potential product liability claims. It is possible, however, that the limitation of liability provisions contained in such agreements may not be effective as a result of federal, state or local laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. A successful product liability claim brought against us relating to our product or third party software embedded in our products could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
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 C hinese 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
7
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 and Malaysian 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 and Malaysia.
China has only recently permitted provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities. The Chinese and Malaysian 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 and Malaysia 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 and Malaysia. 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 Malaysia, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese or Malaysian properties or joint ventures.
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 u se 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 ou r 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.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are an information and communication technology (ICT) application provider in China and Asia specializing in internet connectivity, internet value-added services, wireless solutions and voice services for the hospitality industry. Subsequent to the economic crisis and severe market competition, the operation of the company has been drastically downsized in FY2010.
9
We intend to establish new core business that is aligned to the core experience and competency of the management and previous business along with the scope of business in internet based solutions especially to ride on the growth of mobile internet and telecommunication value added services, leveraging of business partners in market such as China. In line with the management’s decision to seek new profitable business, the Company has on August 2, 2010, entered into an Agreement for a Share Exchange (the “Agreement”) with REDtone Technology Sdn. Bhd. and REDtone International Berhad, both of which are incorporated in Malaysia. Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% ownership of REDtone Telecommunications (China) Limited (“REDtone China”). REDtone China has subsidiaries in Shanghai which are principally involved in the business of offering discounted call services, e-commerce services and 3G mobile internet solutions. The details of the Agreement are discussed in Note 18 of the Company Financial Statements.

In the same period of 2009, a total of $435,856 was spent for renovations for new offices in China and Malaysia and the purchase of furniture and fittings, new notebooks and computers for the new offices in China and Malaysia, and the purchase of hotel ICT equipment during the early quarters of 2009.

Working Capital
Our working capital was a deficit of $1,180,725 at May 31, 2010. On-going effort has been made to secure new opportunities for injection of new business into the Company to enhance the financial position of the Group.
Our financial statements appearing else where in this report have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Management realizes that we must generate capital and revenue resources to enable us to achieve profitable operations. To the extent that we are unable to obtain additional working capital from operations and/or other sources as required or otherwise desired, our financial statements will be materially affected.
11
As highlighted in the previous section, the Company has on August 2, 2010, entered into an Agreement for a Share Exchange (the “Agreement”) for the acquisition of 100% ownership of REDtone Telecommuni cations (China) Limited (“REDtone China”) whom via its subsidiaries in Shanghai are principally involved in the business of offering discounted call services for end users and corporate segment. Redtone China is also conducting paperless reload services for prepaid mobile air-time reload for end users in Shanghai covering all three major telecommunication operators namely China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom. The details of the Agreement are disclosed in Item 9B (c) of this report.
We were in a working capital shortage at the fiscal year end of May 31, 2010, and cash flow from operations is insufficient to sustain our operations as of the date of this filing. As of the date of this filing, the Company still requires additional financing to sustain operations until additional subscribers can be obtained. No assurances are given that we will be successful in obtaining additional needed capital. Our inabilit y to secure such additional capital will materially adversely affect the Company and its operations. We believe our current cash position after funding and anticipated receipt of revenues will enable us to sustain current operations for up to approximately six month.
At May 31, 2010, we had stockholders’ deficit of $1,122,970, total assets of $106,290 and total current liabilities of $1,229,260. For the year ended May 31, 2010, we have incurred losses of $38,354, and for the year ended May 31, 2010, we used cash in operations of $62,542. Our operations have been funded by the sale of ICT equipment to finance and collection of receivables to support working capital and general corporate purposes.
We do not currently anticipate any material capital expenditures for our existing operations. We do not currently anticipate purchasing or leasing ;any plant and equipment during approximately the next twelve (12) months.
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations. However, there can be no assurances that our business will not be affected by inflation in the future.
We have no off balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Revenue Recognition.
Revenue represents the invoiced value of services rendered and receivable during the year. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
a)
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
b)
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
c)
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and
d)
Collectability is reasonably assured
e)
The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of its voice mail systems once the system has been sold and installed at the customer’s location. Revenues from maintenance services are recognized when the service has been delivered and completed.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
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.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide disclosure required by this item.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto appear in Part IV, Item 15, of this report.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
The accounting firm of Madsen and Associates CPA’s, Inc., (“Madsen”) was engaged on September 8, 2008 as independent auditor of the Company.
During the period that Madsen served as our independent auditor, we have not had any disagreements with Madsen, whether resolved or unresolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to said accountants' satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements(s) in connection with its report.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of May 31, 2010, the end of the fiscal year covered by this Form 10-K, our management performed, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of May 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because they did not have proper application of accounting principles to ensure a material transaction was accounted for in accordance to the United States generally accepted accounting principles. The remedial action plan is for the management to provide further technical review over the accounting policies used in ensuring that the financial reports comply with the United States generally accepted accounting principles. Otherwise, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Excha nge Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
The management believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, management believes that our system of disclosure controls and procedure is designed to pr ovide a reasonable level of assurance that the objectives of the system will be met.
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial matters. However, management has concluded that considering the employees involved and the control procedures in place, the risks associated with such lack of segregation are insignificant and the potential benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the expenses associated with such increases.
Changes in internal controls
There were no material changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect these controls subsequent to the date of thei r evaluation. Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Sarbanes - Oxley Act 404 compliance
The Company anticipates that it will be fully compliant with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by the required date for non-accelerated filers and it is in the process of reviewing its internal control systems in order to be compliant with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. However, at this time the Company makes no representation that its systems of internal control comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

REPORT OF INDEP ENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hotgate Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of May 31, 2010 and 2009 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2010. 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 ar e 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 fina ncial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material aspects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company does not have the necessary working capital to service its debt and for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 16 to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 – PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The functional currencies for the majority of the Company’s operations in Hong Kong and Malaysia are Hong Kong dollars an d Malaysian Ringgit, respectively while the reporting currency is United States dollars. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Economic and Political Risk
The Company’s major operations are conducted in Hong Kong and Malaysia. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in Hong Kong and Malaysia, as well as the general state of the economy of Hong Kong and Malaysia may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Company’s major operations in Hong Kong and Malaysia 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 w hen collection of the full amount is no longer probable. As of May 31, 2010 and 2009, allowance for doubtful accounts of $nil and $78,333, respectively were recorded. Accounts receivable that are specifically identified as uncollectible are charged to bad debt expense. Bad debt expense recorded during the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 were $nil and $16,572, respectively.
Recovery of doubtful accounts for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 were $60,764 and $nil, respectively.
(d) Inventories
Inventories consisting of merchandise for re-sale are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory costs are calculated using a weighted average method of accounting.
Provision for obsolete inventories for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 were $6,048 and $n il, respectively.
F-6
(e) Plant and Equipment
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 plant and equipment principally by use of the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Plant and equipment are depreciated over the following estim ated useful lives:
Leasehold improvements
Over the shorter of the lease terms or 5 years
Computer hardware and software
5 to 10 years
IT equipment
5 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
10 years
The depreciation expense for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $4,668 and $7,101, respectively.
(f) Intangible Assets
The Company acquired certain intangible assets which were comprised of voice mail system software through Hotgate VMS Technology Limited in May 2009. The Company also acquired certain intangible assets through the acquisition of Hotgate Technology (M) Sdn. Bhd. in May 2009. These intangible assets consisted of customer lists and relationships. Both voice mail system software and customer lists and relationships are subject to amortization over their respective economic useful life and are reviewed for impairment if the carrying amount of these intangible assets are not recoverable and their carrying amount exceeds their fair market value. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible assets shall be their new accounting basis.
The estimation of the useful life of the voice mail system software and customer lists and relationships will be affected by factors such as change in demand, unanticipated competition and other economic factors including stability of industry, change in technology, legislative action that results in an uncertain or an adverse change in the regulatory environment and changes in distribution channels and business climate.
Intangible assets are amortized over the following estimated economic lives:
Voice mail system software
5.5 years
Customer lists and relationships
5 years
The amortization expenses for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $13,544 and $12,703, respectively.
(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. The impairment loss on investment in a subsidiary for the year ended May 31, 2009 amounted to $307,123. There were no impairments of long-lived assets for the year ended May 31, 2010.
(h) Income Tax
The Company has adopted the provisions of statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which incorporates the use of the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. The Company allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
F-7
In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of Hong Kong, the corporation income tax rate applicable is 16.5% for both years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009. No income tax expense for years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 was incurred.
(i) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash, accounts receivable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items.
(j) Revenue Recognition
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
§
Collectibility is reasonably assured
The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of its voice mail systems once the system has been sold and installed at the customer’s location. Revenues from maintenance services are recognized when the service has been delivered and completed.
(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, 2010 and 2009, there were no common share equivalents 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
Hong Kong mandates companies to operate a mandatory provident fund scheme, which is available to all employees in Hong Kong. Both the Company and the employees are required to contribute 5% (subject to an aggregate amount of $256) per month of the employees’ relevant income. Contributions from the Company are 100% vested in the employees as soon as they are paid to the scheme. Contributions to the scheme are expensed in the statement of operations as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company and managed by independent professional fund managers. The Company provides no other retirement benefits to its employees.
(n) Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (US$). The functional currencies of the Company are the Hong Kong dollar (HK$) and the Malaysian Ringgit (RM), respectively. Capital accounts of the financial statements are translated into United States dollars from HK$ or RM 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, 2010 | | May 31, 2009 |
| | | | |
Year end RM : US$ exchange rate | | 0.3025 | | 0.2855 |
Average yearly RM : US$ exchange rate | | 0.2940 | | 0.2973 |
Year end HK$ : US$ exchange rate | | 0.1282 | | 0.1282 |
Average yearly HK$ : US$ exchange rate | | 0.1282 | | 0.1282 |

(o) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASC Topic “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification(TM) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” became effective on September 15, 2009. This standard establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP. The Codification does not change current US GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative US GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. As of the effective date, all existing accounting standard documents were superseded and, accordingly, all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature.
In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2010-17, which amends ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”. ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on applying the milestone method to milestone payments for achieving specified performance measure when those payments are related to uncertain future events limited to transactions involving research and development. Entities can make an accounting policy election to re cognize arrangement consideration received for achieving specified performance measure during the period in which the milestones are achieved, provided certain criteria are met. ASU 2010-17 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-17 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-11 (ASU 2010-11), “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.” The amendments in this Update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this Update. The Company doe s not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In February 2010, the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-10 (ASU 2010-10), “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds” which is effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within that first reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company’s adoption of provisions of ASU 2010-10 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855) “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU No. 20 10-09”) which requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which the filer had evaluated subsequent events. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair value Measurements, which amends ASC 820 to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The ASU also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to me asure fair value. The ASU is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that this ASU will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
