BUSINESS
The statements contained in this Report on Form 10-K that are not purely historical statements are forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding the Companys expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Please see Risk Factors that May Affect Future Results, Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and the factors and risks discussed in other reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 3, 2000. Our current business consists of the development, distribution, marketing and sale of health care payment processing services and products. All of our business operations are undertaken by our wholly owned subsidiary H Pay Card Inc. (H Pay), which we acquired on May 30, 2008.
H Pay Card Inc.
Prior to the acquisition of H Pay, H Pay was a private Corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 28, 2008. Since inception of H Pay, its business objective has been the development, distribution, marketing and sale of health care payment processing services and products. H Pay is in the process of developing an online access system creating a health savings account that allows card payments and processing services to third-party administrators, insurance companies and others.
Description of Health Pay Card (HP Card)
H Pay Card Inc. is a development stage company. H Pays objective is to be the preferred provider of innovative payment issuing and processing services to corporations and governments around the world. H Pays plans are to deliver affordable, accessible and contemporary payment processing services that integrate into the Interac and various credit card financial networks in North America. H Pay plans to provide an online account management service to assist individual accountholders with real-time payments and funding of health-related expenses and benefits under what is commonly known by insurance companies as a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA). An HCSA can operate like a bank account; plan members start each plan year with a certain number of dollar credits in their HCSA; throughout the year, those credits may be used to pay for certain medical, vision and dental expenses. The credits can be used to top up existing group coverage by covering residual amounts on prescription drugs, eyeglasses and hearing aids or to pay for medical, vision and dental expenses that otherwise may not be covered under the group benefit plan. Traditional health plan users pay premiums into a plan but do not see a return on money unless there is an issue with their health. In addition, most plans are established so that monies deposited into a plan by an employee are non-transferable upon the employees change of employment.
H Pay services and infrastructure will enable insurance companies, governments and corporations to replace cash and cheque payments based on services and infrastructure provided by H Pay. H Pay plans are to provide instant issuing services that enable corporations to issue and fund Pre-Paid Interac or credit card services to beneficiaries in real time. The beneficiary will select a personal identification number (PIN) using an H Pay PIN and card activation terminal, thus gaining instant access to funds that can be reloaded by H Pay.
H Pay is in the process of developing a platform for processing and managing accounts and payment cards, including cardholder and customer account management, reconciliation and financial settlement, and customer reporting.
H Pay is in the process of developing software systems for the issuing of health payment cards and financial transaction processing services that will be fully managed by a data center. Products and services will include:
4
●
Payment card issuance on behalf of issuing bank partners for customer-branded credit cards and Interac payment cards. The cards will be issued with Canadian and United States access through Interac (Canada) and STAR (United States) ATM, as well as inter-bank networks.
●
Payment processing and funds allocation on payment accounts through financial electronic data interchange, wire transfers, and the automatic clearing house (“ACH”), with an H Pay connection to a financial institution payment gateway and the United States ACH network through a United States financial institution.
●
Enabling cardholders to select personal PIN using an H Pay PIN selection and card activation terminal. These functions enable the end user to be issued an H Pay generated payment card at a customer’s office which is ready for immediate use.
●
Authorizing transactions based upon the business requirements of H Pay customers.
●
Monitoring for unusual transaction activities, fraud and compliance violations.
●
Providing management reports to customers and payment beneficiaries.
●
Customer support center for reporting lost or stolen cards and for answering cardholder inquiries.
Distribution Methods and Marketing Strategy
H Pay’s overall strategy is to finalize development of and market its health care payment cards and system. H Pay will target enterprise-sized, public and private sector customers at the provincial and national levels. We will seek opportunities with lead customers and alliance partners to establish referenceable, high-profile implementations and market-leading, early-adopter firms for further developing innovative products and services. It designs solutions targeted towards corporate financial management, financial risk and audit management and cash management and will target product/service management as a support to financial management.
H Pays prime targets will be organizations that make a significant number of payments to individuals by way of cheques or serve individuals with limited or no access to bank accounts. H Pay products will replace the usage of cheques for people who prefer electronic delivery of funds through a multi-functional Interac or major credit card and generate cost savings benefits and increased efficiencies for its clients.
H Pay intends to achieve service volume and the associated economies of scale through marketing directly to select target customers that provide the necessary transaction volumes, and through market specific channel partners. The channel strategy is supported in the solution design, as multiple channel partners will require branding and H Pay fee charging/collection capabilities.
H Pay solutions will be sold through multi-tiered, value-added resellers. For example, the H Pay Card solution may be provided by a subcontract to a leading vendor that rebrands and adds value to the solution. The leading vendor in turn may form part of a larger professional services systems integration engagement with the customer. One example of this approach is that a major bank may lead on selling the H Pay solution to medical insurance companies and the health care industry under the H Pay product brand.
H Pay has identified the following channels through which it will target prime end market customers:
●
Benefits managers/adjudicators, including insurance, health or outsources government benefits processors that manage benefits disbursement
●
Issuer banks, including H Pay partner banks that enable the issuance of H Pay cards
●
Application providers, including software manufacturers selling into the target vertical markets
5
●
Professional services, including consulting, development and implementation companies serving the target vertical markets
H Pay intends to establish several key customer reference accounts, channel marketing partners and technology alliances. These corporate relationships are key to advance H Pays goals in 2008 and 2009 for achieving a prime position in the Canadian public sector and establishing a solid service foundation.
Competitive Business Conditions And The Issuer's Competitive Position In The Industry And Methods Of Competition
H Pay intends to offer a combination of products and services in its solution. However, there are other providers of components or versions of the H Pay value proposition in the marketplace. H Pay is taking a different approach by providing a high value added and robust capability within specific target markets, rather than the one size fits all and mass volume approach of the larger companies in the Canadian and international market. The following are some of the leading providers of products and services that are or may be potential competitors in H Pays target markets:

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Any of the following risks could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all of part of your investment. Please see the Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K.
We have a Limited Operating History
We are in the early stages of development and face risks associated with a new company in a growth industry. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate positive cash flows or the profits we anticipate in the future.
H Pay has a limited operational history. H Pay has never paid dividends and has no present intention to pay dividends. H Pay is in the early commercialization stage of its business and therefore will be subject to the risks associated with early stage companies, including uncertainty of revenues, markets and profitability and the need
7
to raise additional funding. H Pay will be committing, and for the foreseeable future will continue to commit, significant financial resources to marketing, product development and research. H Pays business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development. Such risks include the evolving and unpredictable nature of H Pays business, H Pays ability to anticipate and adapt to a developing market, acceptance by consumers of H Pays products and the ability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that H Pay will be successful in doing what is necessary to address these risks.
We will need substantial additional financing in the future to continue operations
Our ability to continue our present operations will be dependent upon our ability to obtain significant external funding. Additional sources of funding have not been established. We are exploring various financing alternatives. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing such financing at acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available from the foregoing sources, or if we determine it to otherwise be in our best interests, we may consider additional strategic financing options, including sales of assets.
We Will Require Key Personnel
The financial services technology industry involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The success of H Pay is dependent on the services of its senior management. The experience of these individuals will be a factor contributing to H Pays continued success and growth. The loss of one or more of its key employees could have a material adverse effect on H Pay's operations and business prospects. In addition, H Pay's future success will depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain additional highly skilled technical, management, sales and marketing personnel. There can be no assurance that H Pay will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on H Pay's business, operating results and financial condition.
We Have Additional Financing Requirements
In order to accelerate H Pay's growth objectives, it will need to raise additional funds from lenders and equity markets in the future. There can be no assurance that H Pay will be able to raise additional capital on commercially reasonable terms to finance its growth objectives. The ability of H Pay to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of H Pay. There can be no assurance that H Pay will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to H Pay. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of shares of common stock of H Pay, control of H Pay may change and stockholders may suffer additional dilution.
We May Not Be Successful In The Protection of Intellectual Property
There can be no assurance that infringement or invalidity claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims) will not be asserted or prosecuted against H Pay or that any such assertions or prosecutions will not materially adversely affect H Pay's business, financial condition or results of operations. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, H Pay could incur significant costs and diversion of resources with respect to the defense thereof which could have a material adverse effect on H Pay's business, financial condition or results of operations. H Pay's performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on its proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by H Pay will prevent misappropriation of its technology or that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. The laws of other countries may afford H Pay little or no effective protection of its intellectual property. H Pay may in the future also rely on technology licenses from third parties. There can be no assurance that these third party licenses will be, or will continue to be, available to H Pay on commercially reasonable terms. The loss of, or inability of H Pay to maintain, any of these technology licenses could result in delays in completing its product enhancements and new developments until equivalent technology could be identified, licensed, or developed and integrated. Any such delays would materially adversely affect H Pay's business, results of operations and financial condition.
8
We Face Competition And May Not Be Able to Compete Successfully
H Pay may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and the competitive pressures H Pay faces could harm its business and prospects. Broadly speaking, the market for financial services technology is competitive. There are other providers of components or versions of the Pay Linx value proposition in the marketplace. Additionally, the level of competition is likely to increase as current competitors improve their product offerings and as new participants enter the market. Many of H Pay's current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater name and brand recognition and significantly greater financial, sales, marketing, technical and other resources than H Pay.
Additionally, these competitors have research and development capabilities that may allow them to develop new or improved products that may compete with products H Pay markets and distributes. New technologies and the expansion of existing technologies may also increase competitive pressures on H Pay. Increased competition may result in reduced operating margins as well as loss of market share. This could result in decreased usage of H Pay's products and may have a material adverse effect on H Pay's business, financial condition and results of operations.
We May Face Implementation Delays
Most of H Pay's customers will be in a testing or preliminary stage of utilizing H Pay's products and may encounter delays or other problems in the introduction of H Pay's products. A decision not to do so, or a delay in implementation, could result in a delay or loss of related revenue or could otherwise harm H Pay's businesses and prospects. H Pay will not be able to predict when a customer that is in a testing or a preliminary use phase will adopt a broader use of H Pay's products.
We May Get Limited Customer Feedback Respecting Products
H Pay's revenue will depend on the number of customers who use H Pay's products. Accordingly, the satisfactory design of H Pay's product is critical to H Pay's business, and any significant product design limitations or deficiencies could harm H Pay's business and market acceptance. This limited feedback may not have resulted in an adequate assessment of customer requirements. Therefore, the currently specified features and functionality of H Pay's product may not satisfy current or future customer demands. Furthermore, even if H Pay identifies the feature set required by customers in H Pay's market, it may not be able to design and implement products incorporating features in a timely and efficient manner, if at all.
We May Face a Slow Down in Developing Markets
The market for H Pay's product is relatively new and continues to evolve. If the market for H Pay's product fails to develop and grow, or if H Pay's product does not gain market acceptance, H Pay's business and prospects will be harmed.
Our Ability To Keep Current With Technological Changes Impact On Our Ongoing Business
The financial services technology industry is susceptible to technological advances and the introduction of new products utilizing new technologies. Further, the financial services technology industry is also subject to customer preferences and to competitive pressures which can, among other things, necessitate revisions in pricing strategies, price reductions and reduced profit margins. The success of H Pay will depend on its ability to secure technological superiority in its product and maintain such superiority in the face of new products. No assurances can be given that the product of H Pay will be commercially viable or that further modification or additional products will not be required in order to meet demands or to make changes necessitated by developments made by competitors which might render the product of H Pay less competitive, less marketable, or even obsolete over time. The future success of H Pay will be influenced by its ability to continue to develop new competitive products. There can be no assurance that research and development activities with respect to the development of new products and the improvement of its existing product will prove profitable, or that products or improvements resulting therefrom, if any, will be successfully produced and marketed. The financial services technology industry is characterized by technological change, changes in user and customer requirements, new product introductions and new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that
9
could render H Pay's technology obsolete or have a negative impact on sales margins H Pay's product may command. H Pay's performance will depend, in part, on its ability to enhance its existing product, develop new proprietary technology that addresses the sophisticated and varied needs of its prospective customers and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. The development of technology entails significant technical and business risks. There can be no assurance that H Pay will be successful in using new technologies effectively or adapting its product to customer requirements or emerging industry standards.
We Require Strategic Alliances
H Pay's growth and marketing strategies are based, in part, on seeking out and forming strategic alliances and working relationships, as well as the performance of such strategic alliances and working relationships. General criteria to be used to assess potential alliances include the following: industry expertise, reputation and market position, complementary technologies or products, and nature and adequacy of resources.
We May Have Problems With Our Resolution of Product Deficiencies
Difficulties in product design, performance and reliability could result in lost revenue, delays in customer acceptance of H Pay's products, and/or lawsuits, and would be detrimental, perhaps materially, to H Pay's market reputation. Serious defects are frequently found during the period immediately following the introduction of new products or enhancements to existing products. Undetected errors or performance problems may be discovered in the future. Moreover, known errors which H Pay considers minor may be considered serious by its customers. If H Pay's internal quality assurance testing or customer testing reveals performance issues and/or desirable feature enhancements, H Pay could postpone the development and release of updates or enhancements to its current product or the release of new products. H Pay may not be able to successfully complete the development of planned or future products in a timely manner, or to adequately address product defects, which could harm H Pay's business and prospects. In addition, product defects may expose H Pay to liability claims, for which H Pay may not have sufficient liability insurance. A successful suit against H Pay could harm its business and financial condition.
We May Not Be Able to Effectively Manage Our Growth
H Pay may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. H Pay's ability to manage its growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of H Pay to deal with this growth could have a material adverse impact on its business, operations and prospects. H Pay may experience growth in the number of its employees and the scope of its operating and financial systems, resulting in increased responsibilities for H Pay's personnel, the hiring of additional personnel and, in general, higher levels of operating expenses. In order to manage its current operations and any future growth effectively, H Pay will also need to continue to implement and improve its operational, financial and management information systems and to hire, train, motivate, manage and retain its employees. There can be no assurance that H Pay will be able to manage such growth effectively, that its management, personnel or systems will be adequate to support H Pay's operations or that H Pay will be able to achieve the increased levels of revenue commensurate with the increased levels of operating expenses associated with this growth.
We Have Negative Cash Flow and Absence of Profits
H Pay has not earned any profits to date and there is no assurance that it will earn any profits in the future, or that profitability, if achieved, will be sustained. A significant portion of H Pay's financial resources will continue to be directed to the development of its products and to marketing activities. The success of H Pay will ultimately depend on its ability to generate revenues from its product sales, such that the business development and marketing activities may be financed by revenues from operations instead of external financing.
There is no assurance that future revenues will be sufficient to generate the required funds to continue such business development and marketing activities.
10
Our Directors and Officers May Face Conflicts of Interest
Certain proposed directors and officers of H Pay may become associated with other reporting issuers or other corporations which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Directors who have a material interest or any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with H Pay are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of H Pay, as the case may be. Certain of the directors have either other employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, these directors will only be able to devote part of their time to the affairs of H Pay.
We Do Not Have Key Man Insurance
H Pay does not currently have key man insurance in place in respect of any of its senior officers or personnel.
Acquisitions, Investments and Other Strategic Transactions Could Result in Operating Difficulties, Dilution to our Investors and Other Negative Consequences
It is our current intention to engage in and evaluate a wide array of potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions of companies, businesses, intellectual properties, and other assets. As of the date of filing of this Annual Report we have not yet identified any such strategic transactions. Any of these strategic transactions could be material to our financial condition and results of operations. In our search for opportunities to engage in strategic transactions, we may not be successful in identifying suitable opportunities. We may not be able to consummate potential acquisitions or investments or an acquisition or investment may not enhance our business or may decrease rather than increase our earnings. In addition, the process of integrating an acquired company or business, or successfully exploiting acquired intellectual property or other assets, could divert a significant amount of our managements time and focus and may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. Additional risks we may face include:
•
The need to implement or remediate controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company in an acquired company that, prior to the acquisition, lacked these controls, procedures and policies;
•
Cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from an acquired company or business into our organization;
•
Retaining key employees from the businesses we acquire, and
•
The need to integrate an acquired companys accounting, management information, human resource and other administrative systems to permit effective management.
Future acquisitions and investments could involve the issuance of our equity securities, potentially diluting our existing stockholders, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, write-offs of goodwill, intangibles, or acquired in-process technology, or other increased expenses, any of which could harm our financial condition. Our stockholders may not have the opportunity to review, vote on or evaluate future acquisitions or investments.
Fluctuations in Quarterly Operating Results Lead to Unpredictability of Revenue and Earnings
The timing of the release of health care payments processing products and services can cause material quarterly revenue and earnings fluctuations. A significant portion of revenue in any quarter may be derived from sales of products and services introduced in that quarter or established in the immediately preceding quarter. If we are unable to begin to generate sales of products and services during the scheduled quarter, our revenue and earnings will be negatively affected in that period. Quarterly operating results also may be materially impacted by factors, including the level of market acceptance or demand for health payment processing products and services and the level of development and/or promotion expenses for health payment processing products and
11
services. Consequently, if net revenue in a period is below expectations, our operating results and financial position in that period are likely to be negatively affected, as has occurred in the past.
Our Common Stock is Traded on the "Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board," Which May Make it More Difficult for Investors to Resell their Shares Due to Suitability Requirements
Our common stock is currently quoted for trading on Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol SUWO.OB where we expect it to remain in the foreseeable future. Broker-dealers often decline to trade in OTCBB stocks given the market for such securities are often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risk to investors is greater. These factors may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of their shares. This could cause our stock price to decline.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
Sun World Partners, Inc.
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Sun World Partners, Inc. (the Company) as of May 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows for the period from inception on January 28, 2008 to May 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from inception on January 28, 2008 to May 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and net cash outflows from operations since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period from January 28, 2008 (Date of Inception) to May 31, 2008
Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of Sun World Partners, Inc. (the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.
Organization
Sun World Partners, Inc. (the Company or Sun World) was incorporated on April 3, 2000 in the State of Nevada. On May 31, 2005 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Tiempo de Mexico Ltd. (Tiempo) in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company with a par value of $0.001. The Company had no operations prior to the date of the aforementioned acquisition.
On May 30, 2008, the Company finalized the execution of an acquisition agreement dated April 22, 2008 (the Acquisition Agreement) between Sun World, H Pay Card Inc. (H Pay), Tiempo, Kimberley Coonfer (Coonfer), Caribbean Overseas Investments Ltd. (Caribbean) and the stockholders of H Pay (the H Pay Stockholders). Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Sun World acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of H Pay resulting in H Pay becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun World. Upon the acquisition of H Pay by Sun World, Sunworld issued the stockholders of H Pay an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of the common stock of Sun World. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Companys subsidiary, Tiempo (the Tiempo Shares) were transferred to Coonfer and Caribbean in exchange for the return to treasury of a total of 5,000,000 common shares of Sun World (the Cancellation Shares). The Cancellation Shares were exchanged for the Tiempo Shares and $100,000 of the intercompany debt between Tiempo and Sun World was written off on the books of Tiempo and Sun World, and Tiempo provided a promissory note for the remaining intercompany debt between Tiempo and Sun World in the amount of $49,281. As of May 30, 2008, Tiempo is no longer a subsidiary of Sun World, H Pay is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun World and H Pay Stockholders received an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of Sun Worlds common stock representing 78.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Tom Zapatinas, an Officer and Director of Sun World Partners, Inc., is also an Officer and Director of H Pay Card Inc. He disclosed such information and interest in this transaction to the Board of Directors prior to the conclusion of this transaction.
As a result, the consolidated results of operations presented at May 31, 2008 are those of the Company and H-Pay. H Pay was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 28, 2008. Since inception of H Pay, its business objective has been the development, distribution, marketing and sale of health care payment processing services and products.
Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.
The primary operations of the Company are presently undertaken by H-Pay. H Pay is in the process of developing an online access system creating a health savings account that allows card payments and processing services to third-party administrators, insurance companies and others.

For the period from January 28, 2008 (Date of Inception) to May 31, 2008
Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Contd
Nature and Continuance of Operations (Continued)
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At May 31, 2008, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $24,747 since inception, has negative working capital of $21,309 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.
Use of Estimates in the preparation of the financial statements
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization have been provided in amounts sufficient to relate the costs of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives. Equipment is depreciated at a rate of 10% per annum and leasehold improvements are depreciated at a rate of 8% per annum.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Currency
The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The functional currency of H Pay is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements are translated to United States dollars at current exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at the average rates prevailing during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders equity.
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Companys development stage activities.

Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Contd
Gain (Loss) Per Share
Gain (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107), Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amount of the Companys cash and cash equivalents, loan receivable, and the current portions of notes payable approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities.
Income taxes
The Company is subject to United States income taxes. Its wholly owned subsidiary is subject to Canadian taxes.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits for which future realization is uncertain.

Income taxes (continued)
At May 31, 2008, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards totaling approximately $24,352. The carry forwards begin to expire as of the current fiscal year. The Company has established a valuation allowance for the full tax benefit of the operating loss carryovers due to the uncertainty regarding realization.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has elected to account for stock-based compensation following APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and provide the disclosure required under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS Statement No. 123.
New Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS. The statement defines fair value, determines appropriate measurement methods, and expands disclosure requirements about those measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for our fiscal year beginning June 1, 2008.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, THE FAIR VALUE OPTION FOR FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This pronouncement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of our fiscal year which begins June 1, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), BUSINESS COMBINATIONS. This revision to SFAS No. 141 requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, at their fair values as of the acquisition date, with limited exceptions. This revision also requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the assets acquired and that expected restructuring costs be recognized as if they were a liability assumed at the acquisition date and recognized separately from the business combination. In addition, this revision requires that if a business combination is achieved in stages, that the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, be recognized at the full amounts of their fair values. The Company believes that is has correctly applied the guidance under SFAS 141 to its recent business combination.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, an amendment of ARB No. 51. The objective of this statement is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The Company believes that this statement will not have any impact on its financial statements, unless it deconsolidates a subsidiary.

New Accounting Standards (Continued)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (An amendment to SFAS No. 133). This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and requires enhanced disclosures with respect to derivative and hedging activities. The Company will comply with the disclosure requirements of this statement if it utilizes derivative instruments or engages in hedging activities upon its effectiveness.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, DETERMINATION OF THE USEFUL LIFE OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS (FSP No. 142-3) to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset (under SFAS No. 142) and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the intangible asset (under SFAS No. 141(R)). FSP No. 142-3 amends the factors to be considered when developing renewal or extension assumptions that are used to estimate an intangible assets useful life under SFAS No. 142. The guidance in the new staff position is to be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after December 31, 2008. In addition, FSP No. 142-3 increases the disclosure requirements related to renewal or extension assumptions. The Company does not believe implementation of FSP No. 142-3 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, THE HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This statement is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, the Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 163, ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCE GUARANTEE INSURANCE CONTRACTS AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 60. The premium revenue recognition approach for a financial guarantee insurance contract links premium revenue recognition to the amount of insurance protection and the period in which it is provided. For purposes of this statement, the amount of insurance protection provided is assumed to be a function of the insured principal amount outstanding, since the premium received requires the insurance enterprise to stand ready to protect holders of an insured financial obligation from loss due to default over the period of the insured financial obligation. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
None of the above new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but may be applicable to the Company's future financial reporting.

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement all of the issued and outstanding shares of our subsidiary, Tiempo (the Tiempo Shares) were transferred to Coonfer and Caribbean in exchange for the return to treasury of a total of 5,000,000 common shares of Sun World (the Cancellation Shares). The Cancellation Shares were exchanged for the Tiempo Shares and $100,000 of the intercompany debt between Tiempo and Sun World was written off on the books of Tiempo and Sun World, and Tiempo provided a promissory note for the remaining intercompany debt between Tiempo and Sun World in the amount of $49,281.
Tiempo is no longer a subsidiary of Sun World and H Pay is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sun World and H Pay Stockholders received an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of Sun Worlds common stock representing 78.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Plan of Operation
Over the next twelve months, we plan to:
(a) | Raise additional capital to execute our business plans. | |
(b) | To penetrate the health payment processing market in Canada, and worldwide, by continuing to develop innovative health payment processing products and services. | |
(c) | Build up a network of strategic alliances with several types of health insurance companies, governments and other alliances in various vertical markets. | |
(d) | Fill the positions of senior management sales, administrative and engineering positions. |
Cash Requirements
For the next twelve months and given that we meet our forecasted revenues, we plan to expend a total of approximately $1,020,000 in implementing our business plan of development and marketing of health payment processing products and services. In addition, we estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve months as follows:
Estimated Expenses |
|
| |
General and Administrative | $ | $250,000 |
|
Sales and Marketing | $ | $185,000 |
|
Research and Development | $ | $215,000 |
|
Operations | $ | 270,000 | |
Professional Services | $ | 100,000 | |
Total | $ | $1,020,000 |
|
Our estimated expenses over the next twelve months are broken down as follows:
| 1. | General and Administrative We anticipate spending approximately $250,000 on general and administration costs in the next twelve months. |
|
|
|
| 2. | Sales and Marketing. We anticipate that we may spend up to $185,000 in the next twelve months in the sales and marketing of our health care payment processing services and products. This amount reflects our commitment to invest in promotional activities for our future products. |
|
|
|
| 3. | Research and Development. We anticipate spending approximately $215,000 on research and development. We plan to employ a number of programmers to expedite the development of our health care payment processing services and products. |

5. | Professional Services. We anticipate that we may spend up to $100,000 in the next twelve months in professional services. |
H Pay Summary Financial Information
We have provided audited financial statements to May 30, 2008 for H Pay and Pro forma financial statements within 71 days as required.
15
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2008, Sun Worlds cash balance is approximately $86,574. H Pay does not have any cash on hand and we will be required to raise capital to fund the operations of H Pay. Sun World cash on hand is currently our only source of liquidity. Our ability to meet our financial liabilities and commitments is primarily dependent upon the continued issuance of equity to new stockholders, and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. Management believes that our Company's cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period. We will not initially have any cash flow from operating activities as we are in the development stage with H Pay. We project that we will require an estimated additional $1,020,000 over the next twelve month period to fund our operating cash shortfall. Our Company plans to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirements for the next twelve months primarily through the private placement of our equity securities or by way of loans or such other means as the Company may determine. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds required for our continued operations. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products and achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are the most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provision of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104 which establishes guidance in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Research and development
All costs of research and development activities are expensed as incurred.
ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The majority of our operations are not based in the United States, however, we report in U.S. dollars. We have foreign based operations where transactions are denominated in foreign currencies and are subject to market risk with respect to fluctuations in the relative value of currencies. Currently, we have operations in Canada and conduct transactions in Canadian currency. If the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar rate had remained unchanged throughout fiscal 2008, $395 currently recorded as a loss from foreign currency translaction would have been eliminated.
We do not currently monitor our foreign currency exposure and we do not currently have any hedging plans in place to hedge against fluctuations in currency. As we commence operations both through our Canadian subsidiary, H Pay, and in other jurisdications outside of the U.S. that may present opportunities for business we
16
intend to put a monitoring system in place to monitor foreign currency and we will consider hedging activities at that time.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2008, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
Managements Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2008. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of May 31, 2008, the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada Revised Statutes and the by-laws of our company, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held. The board of directors acted by unanimous written consent resolution six (6) times during the twelve (12) month period ended May 31, 2008.
We do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions.

The directors who perform the functions of auditing, nominating and compensation committees are not independent because they are also officers of our company.
