NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2007
Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
Datone, Inc. is currently a provider of both privately owned and company owned payphones (COCOT’s) and stations in New York. The Company receives revenues from the collection of the payphone coinage, a portion of usage of service from each payphone and a percentage of long distance calls placed from each payphone from the telecommunications service providers. In addition, the Company also receives revenues from the service and repair of privately owned payphones, sales of payphone units and the sales of prepaid phone cards.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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 could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s payphones are located primarily in New York and usage of those phones may be affected by economic conditions in those areas.
The Company maintains cash balances with a financial institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. There are no uninsured balances at September 30, 2008.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents for purposes of classification in the balance sheets and statement of cash flows. Cash and Cash equivalents consists of cash in bank (checking) accounts.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the related assets, which range from five to seven years.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are recognized using the asset and liability method by applying tax rates to cumulative temporary differences based on when and how they are expected to affect the tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for income tax rate changes.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2008 and for all periods presented have been made.
Net (Loss) per Common Share
Net loss per common share has been calculated by taking the net loss for the current period and dividing by the weighted average shares outstanding at the end of the period.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its primary revenue from the sources described below, which includes dial around revenues, coin collections, and telephone equipment repairs and service. Other revenues generated by the Company include phone card sales, and commissions.
Dial around revenues are generated from calls to gain access to a different long distance carrier than is already programmed into the phone. GAAP (SAB No. 101) requires the Company to recognize revenue when earned. In the past, we were recording the revenue when the money was wire deposited into our account. We are now recording a monthly accrual and adjusting the revenue to actual on a quarterly basis. The revenue is estimated monthly, based on prior quarter’s actual receipts. We use prior quarter receipts as estimates because there has not been a significant change to total payphones in the previous few quarters. Also, historical figures have shown the revenue earned is not far different than estimates made. Revenues on commissions, phone card sales, and telephone equipment repairs and service are recognized when the services are provided.

The Company received approximately 95% of total dial around and zero-plus compensation (commissions) from two providers.
Note 7. Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND DECEMBER 31, 2007
Note 7. Income Taxes - Continued
At December 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,110,047 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2027. No tax benefit has bee reported in the December 31, 2007, financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating carryforwards for Federal Income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.
Note 8 – Uncertain Tax Provisions
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the company’s financial position and results of operations. At January 1, 2007, the company had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrual for the payment of related interest.
Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Interest expense, net” in the accompanying statements of operations. Penalties, if any, would be recognized as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. The Company recognized $0 of interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits during 2007. In many cases the company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by relevant tax authorities.
With few exceptions, the company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of January 1, 2007:

Note 10. Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplates the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained substantial operating losses in recent years. The company has a current ratio of .049 for the period ended September 30, 2008, and has a deficit in stockholders’ equity. The Companies ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional capital as well as additional revenue to be successful in its planned activity. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its minimal operating expenses. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide them with the opportunity to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”. While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.
If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”, then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Forward Looking Statements
Some of the information in this section contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate" and "continue," or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:
o | discuss our future expectations; |
o | contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and |
o | state other "forward-looking" information. |
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors," "Business" and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Risk Factors."
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Datone, Inc. is currently a provider of both privately owned and company owned payphones (COCOT’s) and stations in New York. The Company receives revenues from the collection of the payphone coinage, a portion of usage of service from each payphone and a percentage of long distance calls placed from each payphone from the telecommunications service providers. In addition, the Company also receives revenues from the service and repair of privately owned payphones, sales of payphone units and the sales of prepaid phone cards.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change, and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported in our consolidated balance sheet, and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods, are affected by estimates and assumptions which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill and intangible asset impairments, restructurings, inventory and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its primary revenue from the sources described below, which includes non-coin revenues, coin collections, and service and repair revenue.
Non-coin call revenue includes commissions from operator service telecommunications companies and commissions for toll free calls from all payphones. The commissions for operator services are paid 45 days in arrears. Dial Around compensation is billed quarterly and received three and one half months behind the billed quarter. GAAP (SAB No. 101) requires the Company to recognize revenue when earned. The Company records a monthly accrual and adjusts the revenue to actual on a quarterly basis. The revenue is estimated monthly, based on prior quarter’s actual receipts. We use prior quarter receipts as estimates because there has not been a significant change to total payphones in the previous few quarters. Also, historical figures have shown the revenue earned is not far different than estimates made.
-13-
Coin calls represent calls paid for by customers who deposit coins into the payphones. Coin call revenue is recorded as the actual amount of coins collected from the payphones.
Service and Repair Sales are billable as soon as the services are rendered for the customer.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
Revenue
Our total revenue decreased by $23,806 or approximately 19.29%, from $123,404 in the Nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $99,598 in the Nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in commission revenue. As well as a reduced number of payphones coupled with increased competition from wireless communication service.
Our commissions decreased by $16,121 or approximately 67.1%, from $24,026 in the Nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $7,905 in the Nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease was primarily attributable to a lower volume of payphones in our network.

This decrease is due to less payphones to repair and service because the number of payphones have decreased, the number of payphones breaking down and requiring repair is consequently less.
For the Nine months ended September 30, 2008, we have a total of 164 company-owned payphones. We only receive service revenue for company-owned payphones and repair revenue for privately-owned payphones. Some privately-owned payphones represent unprofitable locations that we previously owned but have since sold to the site owner.
Cost of Revenue
Our overall cost of sales decreased by $15,556 or approximately 28.1%, from $55,528 in the Nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $39,972 in the Nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Once a payphone is sold to the site owner, it is removed from our assets and depreciation schedules. We own telephone equipment and motor vehicles, which provide a service for a number of years. The term of service is commonly referred to as the “useful life” of the asset. Because an asset such as telephone equipment or motor vehicle is expected to provide service for many years, it is recorded as an asset, rather than an expense, in the year acquired. A portion of the cost of the long-lived asset is reported as an expense during the cost of an asset to expense over its life in a rational and systematic manner.

Our expenses to date are largely due to rents for the office space and the cost of sales for telephone communication costs.
We believe that our results of financing activities will provide us with the necessary funds to satisfy our liquidity needs for the next 6 months. To the extent that such funds are insufficient, our principal stockholder has agreed to fund our operations for the next Nine-month period and beyond in the form of a loan or loans. However, there is no formal agreement with our principal stockholder, Greenwich Holdings LLC in writing or otherwise to do so and accordingly may not be enforced against Greenwich Holdings, Inc. in the event that it decides not to continue to fund the Company.
