|
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables and deposits, tax recoverable, amount due from/(to) related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables, and taxes payable. |
|
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange. |
|
As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented, due to the short maturities of these instruments. |
(c) Revenue Recognition | (c) Revenue recognition |
|
The Company has adopted a 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 follows: |
|
• Collaboration with China Tie Tong Telecommunications (“CTT”) – Redtone China is appointed as the sole distributor for EMS and will recognize revenue when airtime is utilized by the consumer and revenue is recognized on a net basis which is computed based on a fixed sharing ratio of the total airtime utilized by consumers after netting the direct traffic termination costs and incidental expenses. Redtone China’s role for Business Collaboration with CTT is as an “Agent” as Redtone China is the sole distributor for the EMS brand owned and controlled by CTT; and |
|
• Collaboration with other telecommunication providers – Redtone China will act as a discounted consumer call Reseller whereby Redtone China determines the service and package specification and the pricing policy 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 cost on the books of Redtone China). In this regard, Redtone China will recognize revenue when airtime is utilized by the consumer and the revenue recognized is the gross value of the call charges. Redtone China’s role for Business Collaboration with China Unicom is that of “Principal” as China Unicom is playing a passive role as the traffic termination partner while Redtone China is fully responsible for the entire management of the 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, the product will be deemed to be expired and the revenue recognized at the time is the remaining gross value of the expired prepaid product. |
|
2. Discounted call services for corporate consumers is as follows: |
|
• Collaboration with CTT – the revenue recognized is the commission earned from distributing the discounted call services to corporate customers; and |
|
• Collaboration with other telecommunication providers –the revenue recognized is the commission earned from distributing the discounted call services to corporate customers. |
|
3. Reload services for prepaid mobile services – revenue recognized is the commission earned. |
|
4. Discontinued prepaid shopping-card services – revenue recognized is the commission earned. |
(d) Earnings Per Share | (d) 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 period. 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 February 28, 2015 and 2014, there were no dilutive securities outstanding. |
(e) Foreign Currency Translation | (e) 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: |
| 28-Feb-15 | 31-May-14 | 28-Feb-14 |
Period end RMB : US$ exchange rate | 0.1627 | 0.1621 | 0.1633 |
Average period RMB : US$ exchange rate | 0.1625 | 0.1629 | 0.163 |
Period end HK$ : US$ exchange rate | 0.129 | 0.129 | 0.1289 |
Average period HK$ : US$ exchange rate | 0.129 | 0.129 | 0.1289 |
|
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. |
(f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments | (f) 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. |

In July 2013, The FASB has issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). |
|
U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. |
|
This ASU applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. |
|
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." This ASU relates to discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The standard expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The provisions of this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. This ASU is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements or disclosures |
|
The Company does not expect the adoption of these guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
