PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS


Item 1. Description of Business

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 26, 2007. On November 26, 2008, China Soaring Inc. effected a name change to Sino Payments, Inc. Since inception, we incorporated the company, hired the attorney, and hired the auditor for the preparation of all quarterly and annual reports and we have made significant steps to develop and further our business plan, including creating our Global Processing Platform (“SinoPay GPP”) and establishing our website ww.sinopayments.com. We are a credit card processing and merchant acquiring services company that provides credit card clearing services to merchants and financial institutions in China and elsewhere. Sino Payments’ objective is to be a provider of IP (Internet Protocol) processing services in Asia to bankcard accepting merchants.


The Chinese market for credit cards, in terms of total credit card loans, is expected to grow over the next few years at a compounded annual rate of growth in of 88%, from US$300 million in 2003 through US$13.2 billion in 2009. Yet the transaction processing sector remains significantly underserved. Sino Payments will pursue merchants with large regional retail locations across Asia Pacific as potential customers of its’ IP and related credit card and debit card processing systems. No providers are currently dominant. Competitors are expected to include Chinese banks’ in-house solutions and their affiliated technical solution partners. Sino Payments expects to offer superior interoperability, a highly-efficient infrastructure and exceptional knowledge of the IP processing market throughout our SinoPay GPP platformwhich is fully-integratable, widely-deployed, and developed in conjunction with strategic partners. Sino Payments intends to deploy the most flexible and lowest-cost IP processing system in Asia with a focus on China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Korea, and Japan.


Sino Payments’ strategy is to continue to market credit card processing services to retail merchants in targeted markets, offer its merchant acquiring base to selected banks, provide support using world-class technology platforms, and maximize strategic partnerships to accelerate market development. Our initial focus is on China and Hong Kong based multinational retailers with expansion into other Asian markets as we develop. Development objectives have been selected and an organization for executing on those objectives has been put in place.


The senior executives of Sino Payments are well-known and respected in the transaction processing industry throughout the Asia-Pacific region. The directors bring extensive international and public company experience to bear and have built an impressive track record of successful start-ups. As of the date hereof, the Company has completed the following:


On August 1, 2008 we completed a public offering whereby we sold 4,860,000 shares of common stock to 50 investors raising $81,000.


On May 27, 2009, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding with BCS Holdings, Inc., a California corporation (“BCS”) to cooperate in identifying and acquiring additional merchants in China and Asia. Sino Payments and BCS have undertaken to cooperate to develop a merchant sales and marketing program for Greater China and other in Asia by the end of 2009 on behalf of Sino Payments. BCS is a full service payment solutions provider for traditional and internet businesses, with strategic partnerships and alliances with Chase Paymentech, National Processing Company, First Data, Bank of America, Telecheck, Verifone, Discover Network, China UnionPay, JCB International Credit Card Co., Ltd. and United Commercial Bank.


On April 23, 2009 , we completed our Global Processing Platform (“SinoPay GPP”) and we have deployed this solution in Shanghai to provide IP credit and debit card processing services to customers in China. This updated SinoPay GPP system will facilitate the processing of all credit card types (Visa/MC/AMEX/Diners/Discover/JCB) and will be integrated with China UnionPay to provide processing of UnionPay Debit cards in China. The SinoPay GPP can be deployed in any country to provide efficient IP processing of all credit card types and has been specifically designed for roll out around the region in Asia.


On April 29, 2009, we entered into a Service Agreement with PowerE2E China, a Chinese corporation (“PowerE2E”) to provide credit and debit card processing services in China. The agreement is for card processing services for PowerE2E’s clients as well as directly for PowerE2E transactions. The first project is for an ecommerce client site and PowerE2E and Sino Payments are working on additional joint business development opportunities to provide service to PowerE2E’s existing customer base. The SinoPay GPP system is deployed on site at PowerE2E’s Headquarter location in Shanghai.


On September 22, 2009, we signed a pay sourcing agreement with PAY.ON Asia, Ltd., a Hong Kong Company (“PAY.ON”) whereby PAY.ON has agreed that we shall have the right to use and incorporate PAY.ON technologies relating to the handling of services related to payment and fraud control in the operation of our business. Such technologies shall be provided to us at a minimum monthly price of EUR 1,500 and a maximum monthly price of EUR 1,800.



4



On September 29, 2009, we executed a Reseller Agreement with eNETS Hong Kong Ltd. (“eNETS”), whereby eNETS and we have agreed we shall have the right to market and sell the eNETS payment gateway system, which is a direct debit and credit card payment gateway that allows users to receive payment of transactions electronically. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, we shall pay to eNETS a pre-determined rate for each transaction processed as fully set forth in the Agreement.

 

Our Strategy


We intend to provide credit and debit card processing services primarily to retail stores located in Asia. Our new CEO & Chairman, Matthew Mecke will be responsible for providing these services. We intend to target companies that maintain regional retail store operations in Asia. We intend to provide credit and debit card processing services to retailers such as large department stores, regional supermarket chains, and other retailers with a presence in multiple markets in Asia to specifically include China.


Regulatory Requirements


We do not need to pursue nor satisfy any special licensing or regulatory requirements before establishing or delivering our intended services other than requisite business licenses. If new government regulations, laws, or licensing requirements are passed that would cause us to restrict or eliminate delivery of any of our intended services, then our business would suffer. For example, if we were required to obtain a government issued license for the purpose of providing coaching and consulting services, then we could not guarantee that we would qualify for such license. If such a licensing requirement existed, and we were not able to qualify, then our business would suffer. Presently, to the best of our knowledge, no such regulations, laws, or licensing requirements exist or are likely to be implemented in the near future that would reasonably be expected to have a material impact on or sales, revenues, or income from our business operations.


Marketing


Our services are promoted by Mr. Mecke. He will discuss our services with contacts he has established. We also anticipate utilizing several other marketing activities in our attempt to make our services known to corporations and attract clientele. These marketing activities will be designed to inform potential clients about the benefits of using our services and will include the following: development and distribution of marketing literature; direct mail and email; advertising; promotion of our web site; and industry analyst relations.


Revenue


Initially, we intend to generate revenue from three sources:


1.

Term Fee - By charging a fee for given services;

2.

Fixed Fee - By charging a fixed fee;

3.

Transaction Fee - By charging a transaction fee for processing credit or debit card transactions.


We intend to develop and maintain a database of all our clients so that we can anticipate various needs and continuously build and expand our advisory services.   There is no assurance that we will be able to interest any retail store operators in our target market.


Insurance


We do not maintain any insurance and do not intend to maintain insurance in the future. Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party to a liability action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations.


Network Security


We will, if successful, compile and maintain a large database of information relating to our merchants and their transactions. We intend to focus significant resources on maintaining a high level of security in order to protect the information of our merchants and their customers.



5



Competition


The payment processing industry is highly competitive. We compete with other providers of payment processing services on the basis of the following factors:


·

quality of service;

·

reliability of service;

·

ability to evaluate, undertake and manage risk;

·

speed in approving merchant applications; and,

·

price.


We will be competing with both small and large companies in providing payment processing and related services to a wide range of merchants. Our competitors sell their services either through a direct sales force, generally concentrating on larger accounts, or through Independent Sales Organizations, telemarketers or banks, generally concentrating on smaller accounts. There are a number of large payment processors, including First Data Corporation, Bank of America Corporation, Global Payments Inc., Fifth Third Bank, Chase Paymentech Solutions and Elavon, Inc., a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, that serve a broad market spectrum from large to small merchants; further, certain of these provide banking, ATM and other payment-related services and systems in addition to bank card payment processing. There are also a large number of smaller payment processors that provide various services to small- and medium-sized merchants.


Some of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources than we have and operate as subsidiaries of financial institutions or bank holding companies, which may allow them on a consolidated basis to own and conduct depository and other banking activities that we do not have the regulatory authority to own or conduct. Since they are affiliated with financial institutions or banks, these competitors do not incur the costs associated with being sponsored by a bank for registration with card networks and they can settle transactions quickly for their own merchants. We do not, however, currently contemplate acquiring or merging with a financial institution in order to increase our competitiveness.


Offices


Our offices are currently located at Unit T25, GF Bangkok Bank Building, 18 Bonham Strand West, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong and our telephone number is (852) 8121 4220. As of the date of this filing, we have not sought to move or change our office site.


Employees; Identification of Certain Significant Employees


Matthew Mecke, our chief executive officer and director will be devoting approximately 60 hours a week of his time to our operations. We currently have no other employees, other than our officers and directors. We intend to hire additional employees on an as needed basis.


WHERE YOU CAN GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION


We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy our reports or other filings made with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room, located at 100 F Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20549. You can obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. You can also access these reports and other filings electronically on the SEC’s web site, www.sec.gov.


In addition, certain of our SEC filings, including our annual reports on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports, can be viewed and printed from the investor information section of our website at www.sinopayments.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after filing with the SEC. Certain materials relating to our corporate governance, including our senior financial officers’ code of ethics, are also available in the investor relations section of our website.


The information on the websites listed above, is not and should not be considered part of this Report on Form 10-K and is not incorporated by reference in this document. These websites are, and are only intended to be, inactive textual references.

Government Regulation


We are not currently subject to direct Chinese, federal, state or local regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses generally or directly applicable to electronic commerce. However, the Internet is increasingly popular. As a result, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet. These laws may cover issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, content and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. Furthermore, the growth of electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws. Several states have proposed legislation to limit the uses of personal user information gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies.


We are not certain how business may be affected by the application of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights, encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity and export or import matters. The vast majority of such laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet. As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Changes in laws intended to address such issues could create uncertainty in the Internet market place. Such uncertainty could reduce demand for services or increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service delivery costs. In addition, because our services are available over the Internet in multiple states and foreign countries, other jurisdictions may claim that we are required to qualify to do business in each such state or foreign country. We are qualified to do business only in Nevada. Our failure to qualify in a jurisdiction where it is required to do so could subject it to taxes and penalties. It could also hamper our ability to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions. The application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws currently apply to our business could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS


Risks Relating to Our Business

 

Unauthorized disclosure of merchant and cardholder data, whether through breach of our computer systems or otherwise, could expose us to liability and protracted and costly litigation.


Our computer systems could be subject to penetration by hackers and we may be subject to liability, including claims for unauthorized purchases with misappropriated bank card information, impersonation or other similar fraud claims. We could also be subject to liability for claims relating to misuse of personal information, such as unauthorized marketing purposes.


We are subject to the business cycles and credit risk of our merchants, which could negatively impact our financial results.


A recessionary economic environment could have a negative impact on our merchants, which could, in turn, negatively impact our financial results, particularly if the recessionary environment disproportionately affects some of the market segments that represent a larger portion of our bank card processing volume, like restaurants. If our merchants make fewer sales of their products and services, we will have fewer transactions to process, resulting in lower revenue. In addition, we have a certain amount of fixed and semi-fixed costs, including rent, processing contractual minimums and salaries, which could limit our ability to quickly adjust costs and respond to changes in our business and the economy.


The payment processing industry is highly competitive and we compete with certain firms that are larger and that have greater financial resources.


Such competition could increase, which would adversely influence our prices to merchants, and as a result, our operating margins. The market for payment processing services is highly competitive. Other providers of payment processing services have established a sizable market share in the small- and medium-size merchant processing sector.


We have potential liability for fraudulent bank card transactions initiated by merchants.


Merchant fraud occurs when a merchant knowingly uses a stolen or counterfeit bank card or card number to record a false sales transaction, processes an invalid bank card or intentionally fails to deliver the merchandise or services sold in an otherwise valid transaction. We are working to establish systems and procedures designed to detect and reduce the impact of merchant fraud, but we cannot assure you that these measures are or will be effective. Failure to effectively manage risk and prevent fraud could increase our liability, such liability could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.



7



Current or future bank card network rules and practices could adversely affect our business.


The rules of the bank card networks are set by their boards, which may be strongly influenced by member banks, in some cases by the card issuers and some of those banks and issuers are our competitors with respect to these processing services. Many banks directly or indirectly sell processing services to merchants in direct competition with us. These banks could attempt, by virtue of their membership in the network, to alter the networks’ rules or policies to the detriment of non-members like us. The bank card networks or issuers who maintain our registrations or arrangements or the current bank card network or issuer rules allowing us to market and provide payment processing services may not remain in effect. The termination of our registration or our status as an Independent Sales Organization or Member Service Provider, or any changes in card network or issuer rules that limit our ability to provide payment processing services, could have an adverse effect on our bank card processing volumes, revenues or operating costs. In addition, if we were precluded from processing Visa and MasterCard bank card transactions, we would lose substantially all of our revenues.


Our systems and our third-party providers’ systems may fail due to factors beyond our control, which could interrupt our service, cause us to lose business and increase our costs.


We will depend on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer network systems, software, data center and telecommunications networks, as well as the systems of third parties. Our systems and operations or those of our third-party providers could be exposed to damage or interruption from, among other things, fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure, unauthorized entry and computer viruses. Our property and business interruption insurance may not be adequate to compensate us for all losses or failures that may occur. Defects in our systems or those of third parties, errors or delays in the processing of payment transactions, telecommunications failures or other difficulties could result in:


·

loss of revenues;

·

loss of merchants, although our contracts with merchants do not expressly provide a right to terminate for business interruptions;

·

loss of merchant and cardholder data;

·

harm to our business or reputation;

·

exposure to fraud losses or other liabilities;

·

negative publicity;

·

additional operating and development costs; and/or

·

diversion of technical and other resources.


If we lose key personnel or are unable to attract additional qualified personnel as we grow, our business could be adversely affected.


We are dependent upon the ability and experience of a number of our key personnel who have substantial experience with our operations, the rapidly changing payment processing industry and the selected markets in which we offer our services. It is possible that the loss of the services of one or a combination of our senior executives or key managers, particularly Matthew Mecke, our Chief Executive Officer, would have an adverse effect on our operations. Our success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, manage and retain other qualified middle management and technical and clerical personnel as we grow. We may not continue to attract or retain such personnel.


Governmental regulations designed to protect or limit access to consumer information could adversely affect our ability to effectively provide our services to merchants.


Governmental bodies in the United States and China, have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, laws and regulations restricting the transfer of, and safeguarding, non-public personal information. For example, in the United States, all financial institutions must undertake certain steps to ensure the privacy and security of consumer financial information.


Our operating results are subject to seasonality, which could result in fluctuations in our quarterly net income.


We have experienced in the past, and expect to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in our revenues as a result of consumer spending patterns. Historically our revenues have been strongest in our second and third quarters, and weakest in our first quarter.



8



We may need to raise additional funds to finance our future capital needs, which may prevent us from growing our business.


We may need to raise additional funds to finance our future capital needs including completing the developing new products and technology, and operating expenses. We may need additional financing earlier than we anticipate if we:


·

expand faster than our internally generated cash flow can support;

·

purchase portfolio equity (the portion of our commissions that we have committed to our sales force for as long as the merchant processes with us, which we may buy out at an agreed multiple) from a large number of Relationship Managers or sales managers;

·

add new merchant accounts faster than expected;

·

need to reduce pricing in response to competition;

·

repurchase our common stock; or

·

acquire complementary products, businesses or technologies.


If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity securities, these transactions may dilute the value of our outstanding common stock. We may also decide to issue securities, including debt securities that have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. We may be unable to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us or at all. If financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund our future needs. This may prevent us from increasing our market share, capitalizing on new business opportunities or remaining competitive in our industry.


Risks Relating to the Common Stock


The Company’s stock price may be volatile.


The market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including the following:


·

technological innovations or new products and services by the Company or its competitors;

·

additions or departures of key personnel;

·

limited “public float” following the Reorganization , in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for the common stock;

·

the Company’s ability to execute its business plan;

·

operating results that fall below expectations;

·

loss of any strategic relationship;

·

industry developments;

·

economic and other external factors; and

·

period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.


In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.


There is currently no liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock and the Company cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.


The Company’s common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board trading under the symbol SNPY.OB. However, there is limited trading activity and not currently a liquid trading market. There is no assurance as to when or whether a liquid trading market will develop, and if such a market does develop, there is no assurance that it will be maintained. Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “OTCBB”), it is more difficult (1) to obtain accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital. As a result, purchasers of the Company’s common stock may have difficulty selling their shares in the public market, and the market price may be subject to significant volatility.



9



Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of the Company’s common stock may cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline or could affect the Company’s ability to raise additional working capital.


If the Company’s current stockholders seek to sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market either upon expiration of any required holding period under Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration statement, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as “overhang,” in anticipation of which the market price of the Company’s common stock could fall substantially. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional financing in the future through sale of securities at a time and price that the Company deems acceptable.


The Company’s common stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.


The Company’s common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.


The elimination of monetary liability against the Company’s directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights to the Company’s directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits against the Company’s directors, officers and employees.


The Company’s certificate of incorporation does not contain any specific provisions that eliminate the liability of directors for monetary damages to the Company and the Company’s stockholders; however, the Company is prepared to give such indemnification to its directors and officers to the extent provided by Nevada law. The Company may also have contractual indemnification obligations under its employment agreements with its executive officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which the Company may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage the Company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by the Company’s stockholders against the Company’s directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders.

PART II


ITEM 5. Market for the Company’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board since October 29, 2008 originally we traded under the symbol “CHIJ.OB.” On December 16, 2008, we began trading under our current symbol of “SNPY.OB.” Because we are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, our securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they were listed on a national securities exchange.

 

The following table sets forth the high and low bid quotations for our common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board for the periods indicated.

Information for the periods referenced above has been furnished by the OTC Bulletin Board. The quotations furnished by the OTC Bulletin Board reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not reflect actual transactions.


We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock nor do we intend to do so in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, any applicable contractual restrictions and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.


Our common stock is subject to rules adopted by the Commission regulating broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Those disclosure rules applicable to “penny stocks” require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a “penny stock” not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized list disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in “penny stocks” can be very risky and that the investor’s salesperson or broker is not an impartial advisor but rather paid to sell the shares. The disclosure contains further warnings for the investor to exercise caution in connection with an investment in “penny stocks,” to independently investigate the security, as well as the salesperson with whom the investor is working and to understand the risky nature of an investment in this security. The broker dealer must also provide the customer with certain other information and must make a special written determination that the “penny stock” is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Further, the rules require that, following the proposed transaction, the broker provide the customer with monthly account statements containing market information about the prices of the securities.


These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of their shares.


Holders

 

As of August 31, 2009, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock.

 

Dividends

 

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since inception and presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business and that no dividends on our common stock will be declared in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent facts. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on our common stock will be paid in the future.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

 

On July 24, 2009, our Board of Directors authorized the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan") pursuant to which we set aside 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors adopted the 2009 Plan to permit us to offer to our employees, officers, directors and consultants whose past, present and/or potential contributions to our company have been, are or likely to be, important to our success an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. We believe that the types of long-term incentive awards that may be provided under the 2009 Plan will enable us to respond to changes in compensation practices, tax laws, accounting regulations and the size and diversity of our businesses.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

None, other than those set forth in the Form 8-Ks filed during the year ended August 31, 2009, those set forth elsewhere in this Report, and those filed on Form 8-Ks subsequent to August 31, 2009 and through the date of this Report.


ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.


ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.


The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Special cautionary statement concerning forward-looking statements” and “Risk factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements. The operating results for the periods presented were not significantly affected by inflation.


Balance Sheet


As at August 31, 2009, the Company had total assets of $777 compared with total assets of $5,968 as at August 31, 2008. The decrease in total assets is attributed to use of the cash during the fiscal year as the Company obtained minimal financing from debt and equity to support its day-to-day operations.


The Company had total liabilities of $93,113 as at August 31, 2009 compared with $nil as at August 31, 2008. The increase in liabilities is attributed to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $68,353 due to the Company’s lack of sufficient cash flow to settle outstanding obligations as they became due, $20,710 of amounts owing to related parties for financing of operating expenditures during the period, and $4,050 of convertible notes comprised of proceeds of $7,200 less beneficial conversion of $3,600, of which $450 was accreted as at August 31, 2009.


During the year ended August 31, 2009, the Company did issue 4,634,646 common shares including 1,580,200 common shares with a fair value of $149,614 in exchange for services, and 3,053,646 common shares with a fair value of $296,656 for salaries payable during fiscal 2009incurred by the Company. For the year ended August 31, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $548,174 compared with $64,592 for the year ended December 31, 2008.


Operating Revenues


We have not generated any revenues since inception.



12



Operating Expenses


During the year ended August 31, 2009, the Company incurred operating expenses totaling $547,983 compared with $63,475 for the year ended August 31, 2008. The increase in operating expenses is attributed to stock-based compensation of $446,270 for services and debt settled by the issuance of common shares.


Net Loss


During the year ended August 31, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $548,174 compared with a net loss of $64,592 for the year ended August 31, 2008. The increase in net loss is attributed to stock-based compensation of $446,270 for services and debt settled by the issuance of common shares.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As at August 31, 2009, the Company had a cash balance of $7 and a working capital deficit of $93,106 compared with a cash balance and working capital surplus of $5,198 at August 31, 2008. The increase in working capital deficit is attributed to the operating expenditures incurred during the year and the lack of sufficient cash financing by the Company to settle the obligations incurred.


Cashflow from Operating Activities


During the year ended August 31, 2009, the Company used $33,101 of cash flow for operating activities compared with $65,466 for the year ended August 31, 2008. The decrease in the cash flow used for operating activities is attributed to the fact that the majority of the costs incurred for services were settled by the issuance of common shares rather than by cash payments.


Cashflow from Investing Activity


During the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any investing activities.

 

Cashflow from Financing Activities


During the year ended August 31, 2009, the Company was provided $27,910 of cash flow from financing sources compared with $50,668 for the year ended August 31, 2008. The decrease in the proceeds from financing activities were mainly attributed to the fact that the Company received $81,000 in cash financing from issuance of common shares and repaid $30,332 in related party debts in prior year, whereas in the current year, the Company received $20,710 from related parties and $7,200 of convertible notes from a third-party investor.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company has no material transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future impact on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenues or expenses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SINO PAYMENTS, INC.

(DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sino Payments Inc.(a development stage company) as of August 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statement of expenses, stockholders' equity(deficit), and cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, and for the period from inception (June 26, 2007) through August 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of Sino Payments Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an 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 Company’s 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sino Payments Inc as of August 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008 and the period from inception through August 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Sino Payments Inc will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Sino Payments Inc has a working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

August 31, 2009



1.

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business


Sino Payments Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 26, 2007. The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is to provide credit and debit card processing services to multinational retailers in Asia.


These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and is unlikely to generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at August 31, 2009, the Company has not generated revenues, has a working capital deficiency of $93,106, and has accumulated losses totaling $623,336 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


The Company currently has no significant revenues and must rely on the debt and/or equity financing to fund operations. The Company will require significant additional financings in order to pursue exploration of any properties acquired. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the necessary financings to complete its objectives.


2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


a)

Basis of Presentation


These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is August 31.


b)

Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


c)

Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.


d)

Financial Instruments


SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1


Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2


Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.


Level 3


Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to SFAS No. 157, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.


e)

Loss Per Share


The Company computes loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (“SFAS No. 128”). SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


f)

Comprehensive Income


SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.


g)

Foreign Currency Translation


Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the currency of measurement at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Monetary balance sheet items expressed in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in income.


h)

Stock-based Compensation


In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payments”, the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission “SEC” under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 30, 2009. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.


In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“FAS 165”). FAS 165 requires companies to recognize in the financial statements the effects of subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. An entity shall disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued. Companies are not permitted to recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date and before financial statements are issued. Some non-recognized subsequent events must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading. For such events a company must disclose the nature of the event, an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. This Statement applies prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


j)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)


In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 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 in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s 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”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.


k)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


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 statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Convertible Note Payable


In July 2009, the Company issued $7,200 of convertible promissory notes to a third-party for services rendered. Under the terms of the note agreement, the amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing, due on demand, and convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.04 per common share at the discretion of the note holder commencing from the issuance date. In accordance with EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, there was a beneficial conversion feature in the note which resulted in a discount on the convertible notes of $3,600 that was recorded against the note payable and a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. As at September 30, 2009, the Company has recognized accretion expense of $450, which increased the carrying value of the promissory note to $4,050.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.


Item 9A. Controls and Procedures


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.


The Company carried out an assessment, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of August 31, 2009.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").  


A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2009, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:


      

1.     

We do not have an Audit Committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, consisting of three members, including two independent members.  All members of the Board of Directors lack sufficient financial expertise for overseeing financial reporting responsibilities.

 

 

 

2.      

We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of August 31, 2009, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to perform monthly bank reconciliations. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts during the year ended August 31, 2009 and that the Company’s quarterly and year-end financial statements and audit working papers and supporting documents were prepared and reviewed by an independent accounting firm prior to submission to our external auditors, which mitigated the risk of misappropriation of cash.  


Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.



14






As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2009 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.


Malone & Bailey LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, was not required to and has not issued a report concerning the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2009.


Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:


      

1.     

Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors in fiscal 2010.  

 

 

 

2.      

We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company’s monthly financial reporting, including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations.


Changes In Internal Control and Financial Reporting


There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Reflects dollar amount expensed by the company during applicable fiscal year for financial statement reporting purposes pursuant to FAS 123R. FAS 123R requires the Company to determine the overall value of the options as of the date of grant based upon the Black-Scholes method of valuation, and to then expense that value over the service period over which the options become exercisable (vest). As a general rule, for time-in-service-based options, the Company will immediately expense any option or portion thereof which is vested upon grant, while expensing the balance on a pro rata basis over the remaining vesting term of the option. For a description FAS 123 R and the assumptions used in determining the value of the options under the Black-Scholes model of valuation, see the notes to the consolidated financial statements included with this Report.

 (1) Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 45,694,646 shares of common stock outstanding on August 31, 2009. Percentage ownership is determined based on shares owned together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of August 31, 2009 for each stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of August 31, 2009 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Our common stock is our only issued and outstanding class of securities eligible to vote.
