Item 3.02                      Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On May 20, 2011, VelaTel Global Communications, Inc. (formerly China Tel Group, Inc.)1, a Nevada corporation and the registrant responsible for the filing of this current report on Form 8-K (“the Company”) issued 11,900,094 shares of its Series A common stock (“Stock”).  The consideration the Company received in exchange for the issuance of these shares was reduction of accounts payable in the amount of $2,911,254 for professional services previously performed.
 
On May 25, 2011, the Company issued 398,042 shares of Stock.  The consideration the Company received in exchange for the issuance of these shares was reduction of debt owed pursuant to settlement of a liability under a convertible promissory note.  However, this issuance corrected an error in a prior issuance of 659,782 shares issued on May 2, 2011 and previously disclosed in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q, filed May 16, 2011 for the period ending March 31, 2011.
 
On June 2, 2011, the Company issued 1,046,334 shares of Stock.  The consideration the Company received in exchange for the issuance of these shares was the reduction of $154,125 debt owed pursuant to settlement of a liability under a convertible promissory note.
 
On July 5, 2011, the Company issued 1,257,137 shares of Stock.  The consideration the Company received in exchange for the issuance of these shares was the reduction of $154,125 debt owed pursuant to settlement of a liability under a convertible promissory note.
 
On July 14, 2011, the Company issued 12,754,179 shares of Stock.  The consideration the Company received in exchange for the issuance of these shares was reduction of accounts payable in the amount of $2,916,502 for services previously performed.
 
On July 14, 2011, the Company issued 166,670 shares of Stock.  The consideration the Company received in exchange for the issuance of these shares was partial agreed payment for current services performed.
 
On July 15, 2011, the Company issued 37,500,000 options to purchase shares of Stock at an exercise price of $0.13 per share.  The options were issued to eligible recipients under the Company’s 2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“Plan”), which Plan was previously disclosed and approved under Definitive Information Statement filed on Schedule 14C on June 10, 2011.  All options were fully vested upon issuance and constitute non-statutory options under the terms of the Plan.
 
The aggregate number of shares of Stock the Company has issued, plus securities issuable upon exercise of options the Company has issued, as disclosed in this current report on Form 8-K, exceeds in the aggregate five percent of the number of shares of Stock that were issued and outstanding as of May 16, 2011 when the Company last reported unregistered sales of equity securities in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2011.  The last issuance described in the preceding paragraph was the triggering event necessitating the filing of this current report.
 
None of the Stock, options and securities issuable upon exercise of options described in this current report on Form 8-K are currently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”), and may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless registered in accordance with the Act, or unless an exemption from registration is established, or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Act.
