Note 13 - Variable Interest Entities ("vies") | NOTE 13 VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES ("VIEs") On April 30, 2007, the Company entered into loan agreements with Mao Junbao ("MJ") and Mao Hong ("MH") for the establishment of Huitong. On April 30, 2007 the Company entered into an equity pledge agreement that provides that MJ and MH would pledge all their equities in Huitong to REDtone Shanghai. Huitong acquired YuZhong, YuGuang, Haitai and FengCheng, as subsidiaries of the Company during financial year 2015. Although the Company is not the shareholder of the above VIE subsidiaries, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these entities, as the Company has controlling voting powers and entitled to receive the benefit from operations of these entities. Hence, these companies are identified as VIEs and are consolidated as if subsidiaries of the Company. We did not identify any additional VIEs in which we hold a significant interest. The total consolidated VIE assets and liabilities reflected on the Company's balance sheet are as follows: July 31, 2016 April 30, 2016 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $22,571 $161,340 Accounts receivable 634,182 640,656 Other receivables and deposits 46,086 185,144 Property, plant and equipment, net 479,920 413,072 Intangible assets, net 361,940 381,670 Total assets (not include amount due from intra-group companies and related parties) 1,544,699 1,781,882 Liabilities Deferred income 972,557 1,145,770 Accounts payable 547,752 755,461 Accrued expenses and other payables 2,095,722 2,081,052 Taxes payable 73,443 18,332 Total liabilities (not include amount due to intra-group companies and related parties) 3,689,474 4,000,615 The results of VIEs are as follows, and are included in the consolidated statements of income of the Company: Three months ended July 31, 2016 Three months ended July 31, 2015 Revenue $755,007 $1,683,697 Other income and gains 151 (12,028 Service costs (Not including service costs payable to intra-group companies) (459,397) (1,950,100) Personnel cost (58,570) (93,417) Depreciation expense (9,801) (73,168) Amortization expense (11,397) (12,343) Administrative and other expenses (123,744) (109,646) Income/ (Loss) before provision for income taxes (Not including service costs payable to intra-group companies) 92,249 (567,005) Provision for income taxes (48,167) (19,931) Net income/ (loss) 44,082 (586,936) 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 July 31, 2016. 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. |
