HOTGATE TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

August 31, 2009


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Hotgate Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, the information included in these interim financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of the management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operation. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year.


All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


NOTE 2 – 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.


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 when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.  No allowances for doubtful debts for the three month periods ended August 31, 2009 and 2008 was recorded.  Bad debts are written off as incurred. No bad debt was incurred for the three months period ended August 31, 2009.

(Continued)

(d)   Inventories


Inventories consisting of goods for resale are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.  Inventory costs are calculated using a weighted average method of accounting.


(e)   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.


(f)   Depreciation


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 estimated 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 three month periods ended August 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $1,304 and $3,929, respectively.


(g)   Intangible Assets


The Company acquired certain intangible assets which was comprised of voice mail system software through Hotgate VMS Technology Limited (“Hotgate Hong Kong”) in May 2008.  The Company also acquired certain intangible assets through the acquisition of Hotgate Technology (M) Sdn. Bhd. (“Hotgate Malaysia”) in May 2008.  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 three month periods ended August 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $714 and $1,585, respectively.

HOTGATE TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

August 31, 2009

(Continued)


(h)   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 were no impairments of long-lived assets for the three month period ended August 31, 2009.


(i)    Income Tax


The Company has adopted the provisions of statement 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.


(j)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying amounts of the Company's cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. Term debt secured by various properties have interest rates attached to them commensurate with the finance market at the time which management believes approximate fair values in the short as well as the long term.  It is currently not practicable to estimate the fair value of the other debt obligations because these note agreements contain unique terms, conditions, covenants and restrictions which were negotiated at arm's length with the Company's lenders, and there is no readily determinable similar instrument on which to base an estimate of fair value.  Accordingly, no computation or adjustment to fair value has been determined.


(k)    Revenue Recognition


Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold recognized upon the shipment of goods to customers.  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)

Collectibility is reasonably assured.


(l)    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 August 31, 2009, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

(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)   Comprehensive Income


Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements.  Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation gain, net of tax.


(o)    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$ 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:


 

 

August 31, 2009

 

August 31, 2008

                  

 

 

 

 

Period end RM : US$ exchange rate

 

0.2860

0.1282

 

0.1281

Average three months end HK$ : US$ exchange rate

0.1281


(p)   Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.


(q)

Reclassifications


The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with current period presentation.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited to certain customers to whom the Company makes substantial sales.  The Company regularly monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and believes that it has adequately provided for exposure to potential credit losses.


NOTE 5 – INVENTORIES


Inventories consisting of goods for resale are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or net realizable value.


NOTE 6 – DEPOSIT, PREPAYMENT AND OTHER RECEIVABLES   


Deposits consists of payments and deposits made by the Company to third parties in the normal course of business operations with no interest being charged and no fixed repayment terms. These payments are made for the purchase of goods and services that are used by the Company for its current operations.


The Company evaluates the amounts recorded as deposits, prepaid expenses and other receivables on a periodic basis and records a charge to the current operations of the Company when the related expense has been incurred or when the amounts reported as other receivables is no longer deemed to be collectible by the Company.


Deposits, prepayment and other receivables as of August 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009 were summarized as follows:

NOTE 13 – GOING CONCERN


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,614,719 and a working capital deficit of $1,123,584.


While the Company is attempting to produce sufficient revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.  Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Business Overview


We are an information and communication technology (ICT) application provider in China and Asia specializing in internet connectivity, internet value-added services 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.

Special Note


As a measure to braise through the current severe economic crisis and the spread of Influenza A virus (H1N1), the management has implemented a drastic downsizing arrangement for the Group subsequent to the financial period ended February 28, 2009, which would reduce headcounts and overheads significantly. In line with the change of the economic condition, there will be a change in the business strategies to direct sales of the internet billing solutions with the focus on internet media business remains.  In view of the severe economic crisis and the spread of Influenza A Virus (H1N1), it is foresee that revenue will be minimal for the coming quarters.  Therefore, the expenses and resources has been kept down in line with the forth coming level of business.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). US GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact our consolidated financial statements. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.



15





We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104. All of the following criteria must exist in order for us to recognize revenue:

1. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

2. Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

3. The seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and

4. Collectability is reasonably assured.

The majority of the Company's revenue results from sales contracts with direct customers and revenues are generated upon the shipment of goods. The Company's pricing structure is fixed and there are no rebate or discount programs. Management conducts credit background checks for new customers as a means to reduce the subjectivity of assuring collectability. Based on these factors, the Company believes that it can apply the provisions of SAB 104 with minimal subjectivity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements will have any material impact on its financial statements.

Revenues


Sales revenue decreased for the Three months period ended August 31, 2009 as compared to the same period in Year 2008.  The decreased sales were mainly due to the current economic crisis and the spread of Influenza A virus (H1N1) which further dampen the hospitality industry.

 

Cost of revenue and gross margin

 

Cost of revenue for the Three months period ended August, 2009 has decreased corresponding to the decrease in sales contributed by Hotgate VMS Technology Limited and  Hotgate Technology Sdn Bhd for the same period under review.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

The decrease in the general and administrative expenses for the three months period ended August 31, 2009 as compared to the same three months period in 2008 was primarily effect of the downsizing activities and cost contention exercise implemented since the 4 th quarter of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009.

Operating Income (loss)

 

Though the Company has a decreased sale for the three months period ended August 31, 2009, the Company registered Income before income tax as compared as compared to an loss for the same period of 2008.  The increased in profit was mainly due to reduction of general and administrative expenses in the subsidiaries and a gain on disposal of plant and equipment in Hotgate Technology Sdn Bhd.


Provision for taxes


Provision for taxation for the Three months period ended August 31, 2009 was nil compared to $12,730 provision for the Three months period ended August 31, 2008.


Net Income (Loss)

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are exposed to various market risks arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign exchange fluctuations and interest rates, which could impact our results of operations and financial position. We do not currently engage in any hedging or other market risk management tools, and we do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

Fluctuations in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), Malaysian Ringgit (“RM”) and Hong Kong Dollar (“HK$”) could adversely affect our financial results. During the period ended August 31, 2009, majority of our sales are denominated in foreign currencies. We expect that foreign currencies will continue to represent a similarly significant percentage of our sales in the future. Selling, marketing and administrative costs related to these sales are largely denominated in the same respective currency, thereby mitigating our transaction risk exposure. We therefore believe that the risk of a significant impact on our operating income from foreign currency fluctuations is not substantial. However, for sales not denominated in U.S. dollars, if there is an increase in the rate at which a foreign currency is exchanged for U.S. dollars, it will require more of the foreign currency to equal a specified amount of U.S. dollars than before the rate increase. In such cases and if we price our products in the foreign currency, we will receive less in U.S. dollars than we did before the rate increase went into effect. If we price our products in U.S. dollars and competitors price their products in local currency, an increase in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar could result in our price not being competitive in a market where business is transacted in the local currency. All of our sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are denominated in the RMB, RM and HK$. Our principal exchange rate risk therefore exists between the U.S. dollar and these currencies. Fluctuations from the beginning to the end of any given reporting period result in the re-measurement of our foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables, generating currency transaction gains or losses that impact our non-operating income/expense levels in the respective period and are reported in other (income) expense, net in our combined consolidated financial statements. We do not currently hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the future.

 

Interest Rate Risk


Changes in interest rates may affect the interest paid (or earned) and therefore affect our cash flows and results of operations. However, we do not believe that this interest rate change risk is significant.

 

Inflation

 

Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's business in recent years.

 

Currency Exchange Fluctuations

 

The Company's revenues and its expenses are denominated in RMB, RM and HK$. The value of these foreign currency-to-U.S. dollars may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions. Since 1994, the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People's Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day's inter-bank foreign exchange market rates and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of RMB to U.S. dollars had generally been stable and RMB had appreciated slightly against the U.S. dollar. However, on July 21, 2005, the Chinese government changed its policy of pegging the value of RMB to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, RMB may fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. Recently there has been increased political pressure on the Chinese government to decouple the RMB from the United States dollar. At the recent quarterly regular meeting of People's Bank of China, its Currency Policy Committee affirmed the effects of the reform on RMB exchange rate. Since February 2006, the new currency rate system has been operated; the currency rate of RMB has become more flexible while basically maintaining stable and the expectation for a larger appreciation range is shrinking. The Company has never engaged in currency hedging operations and has no present intention to do so.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted. Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) that arise from financial instruments exist for groups of customers or counterparties when they have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other conditions as described below:

 



18





1. The Company's business is characterized by new product and service development and evolving industry standards and regulations. Inherent in the Company's business are various risks and uncertainties, including the impact from the volatility of the stock market, limited operating history, uncertain profitability and the ability to raise additional capital.

 

2. The Company's revenue is deriving from China, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Changes in laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

3. If the Company is unable to derive any revenues from these countries, it would have a significant, financially disruptive effect on the normal operations of the Company.


ITEM 4T. CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

As of August 31, 2009, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, 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).

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.
