FORM 10 INFORMATION
ITEM 1. 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. 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 platform, which when completed, will be fully-integratable, widely-deployed, and developed in conjunction with strategic partners. Sino Paymen ts 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.
2
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 others 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 are currently in the process of deploying 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 aService Agreement with PowerE2E China, a China 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 being deployed on site at PowerE2E’s Headquarter location in Shanghai.
Based on the foregoing, the Company believes that it has sufficient operations, and has made sufficient progress in implementing its business plan that we are no longer considered a shell company.
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.
3
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 will generate revenue from three sources:
1.
Term Fee - By charging a fee for given services;
2.
Fixed Fee - By charging a fixed fee; and
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.
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.
4
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 212-214 Des Voeux Rd., Des Voeux Commercial Building, 12th Floor, Sheung Wan, Hong Kongand our telephone number is (852) 2544-0733. This is the rental office that we maintain where we sublet desk space, telephone, office services and space for computer equipment. 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 atwww.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. 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.
6
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.
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. 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 pro cessing 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.
7
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.
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;
·
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 significan t volatility.
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.
9
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-deal ers 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 Comp any’s directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Plan of Operation
We believe with the completion of our placement, we can satisfy our cash requirements during the next 12 months. At this time, we intend to focus our research and development to upgrading our IP payment processing global platform as needed by our expanding list of potential customer projects. We expect to purchase 3-5 computer servers and related technology equipment. Further we do not expect significant changes in the number of employees. We have completed the public offering and our specific goal is to profitably provide credit and debit card processing services primarily to large multinational retail store groups located in Asia. We intend to accomplish the foregoing through the following milestones:
1.
We intend to contact companies through our website and by personal contact through Mr. Mecke our chief executive officer and director. Our website is completed. The website can be seen atwww.sinopayments.com. The negotiation of additional alliances with service providers and the development of the website will be ongoing during the life of our operations. As more service providers are added and as our customer database expands, we will seek to continually upgrading the website. As additional relationships are created, we intend to create a data basis of clients who we will attempt to interest in new programs. This promotion will ongoing through the life of our operations and has had some initial results over the last 60 days since inception.
10
2.
We intend to begin promoting our services through traditional sources such as business publications, letters, emails, flyers, and mailers. We also plan on attending credit and/or debit card processing and related conferences and shows. We intend on promoting our services to retailers to become users of our credit and debit card processing services. Initially we will aggressively court contacts provided by our president, Matthew Mecke. We believe that it will cost a minimum of $12,500 for our marketing campaign and further resources may have to be devoted to become a success. Marketing is an ongoing matter that will continue during the life of our operations.
3.
Within 90 days from the initial launch of our marketing program, we believe that we will begin generating fees from our ability to provide debit and credit card processing services.
In summary, we continue to implement our business plan and expect to be receiving orders in throughout 2009. We estimate that we will generate revenue 120 to 180 days after beginning operations. We have begun offering our credit and debit card processing services to potential clients. However, if we are unable to negotiate suitable terms with customers to enable us to provide credit and/or debit card processing services, or if we are unable to attract clients to use our credit and debit card processing services, we may have to suspend or cease operations. Additionally, if we cannot generate sufficient revenues to continue operations, we will suspend or cease operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will do and we do not have any plans to do anything else.
Limited operating history; need for additional capital
There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in start-up stage operations and have not generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.
To become profitable and competitive, we have to locate and negotiate agreements with merchants to allow us to provide credit and debit card processing services for fees. We may have to seek out additional equity financing to provide for the capital required to continue to implement our operations. We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations
From Inception on June 26, 2007 to February 28, 2009
Our loss since inception is $124,480, all of which is for the general and administrative expenses. We have begun to establish our operations and have begun actively marketing our services to potential clients and related partners. We expect to further develop our operations and to sign initial customer agreements for provision of our services in early 2009. Since inception, we sold 39,000,000 shares of common stock to our former sole officer and director and three other persons for $130. On August 1, 2008 we completed our public offering. We sold 4,860,000 shares of common stock to 50 investors raising $81,000.
Liquidity and capital resources
As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.On August 7, 2007 we issued 30,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to Paul F. Manning our former sole officer and director in consideration of $100; 3,120,000 restricted shares of common stock to Bradley Miller in consideration of $10.40; 2,880,000 restricted shares of common stock to Moon Gate Ltd. in consideration of $9.60; and, 3,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to Greater Asia Capital Ltd. in consideration of $10.00, all pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The foregoing was accounted for as sales of common stock.
11
On August 1, 2008 we completed our public offering a placement to 50 shareholders for 4,860,000 shares in consideration of $81,000.
On March 23, we filed a dividend with FINRA where by the Company issued an additional 2 shares for every share held as of March 23. The Record Date was March 23, 2009 and the Effective date was March 26, 2009. The Company issued a total of 29,240,000 shares as a result of this dividend to shareholders of record on the Record Date March 23, 2009. This brings the total number of shares issued by the Company to 43,860,000 shares as of April 20, 2009. The dividend has been accounted for as a stock split.

On November 28, 2007, the SEC declared our Form SB-2 registration statement effective (SEC Filing No. 333-147493), permitting us to sell up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $0.05 per share. There was no underwriter involved in our public offering. On August 1, 2008, we completed our public offering by selling 4,860,000 shares of common stock to 50 individuals and raised $81,000. Since then we have spent the proceeds as follows:
| | |
Hiring of Web Development firm and completion of website | $ | 1,150 |
Repayment of loan to Glenn Henricksen | $ | 35,231 |
Administrative expenses | $ | 10,000 |
Hong Kong office setup | $ | 3,500 |
Purchase of Computer Network in Hong Kong | $ | 1,500 |
Total | $ | 51,381 |
As of the closing of our $81,000 offering on August 1, 2008, we have changed the name of our Company to Sino Payments, Inc. to reflect the change in our Company’s business to that of providing debit and credit card processing services to retailers throughout Asia.
Operative Agreements
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 are currently in the process of deploying 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 aService Agreement with PowerE2E China, a China 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 being deployed on site at PowerE2E’s Headquarter location in Shanghai.

As a result of these and other ongoing marketing and sales efforts, we hope to have initial customer client contracts in the near future and will use these funds to support our administrative, sales, and R&D efforts. We do anticipate adding some programming staff in the near future but we prefer to keep the organization lean and utilize consulting agreements on both short and long term periods whenever possible. Other than these costs, we will attempt to keep our cost base in line with our ability to receive funds from customer contracts going forward.
In addition to setting up our offices in Hong Kong, we also completed an arrangement for the hosting of servers for the purpose of creating an R&D and testing network for our IP payment processing hub from the servers located in our offices in Hong Kong. We have installed an initial server and plan to upgrade the cluster in Q1 2009 and to increase the dedicated data lines to that network to enhance our ability to remotely update and manage this R&D and testing computer network cluster.
As of February 28, 2009, our total assets were $3,105 and our total liabilities were $46,455. As of February 28, 2009, we had cash of $1,170.

ITEM 11.
DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The holders of our common stock:
·
have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors;
·
are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;
·
do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and
·
are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
There are no Nevada anti-takeover provisions that may have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in control. 78.378 through 78.3793 of the Nevada Revised Statutes relates to control share acquisitions that may delay or make more difficult acquisitions or changes in our control, however, they only apply when we have 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in the state of Nevada appearing on our stock ledger and we do business in this state directly or through an affiliated corporation. Neither of the foregoing events seems likely will occur. Currently, we have no Nevada shareholders and since this offering will not be made in the state of Nevada, no shares will be sold to Nevada residents. Further, we do not do business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate corporation and we do not intend to do business in the state of Nevada in the future. Accordingly, there are no anti-takeover provisions that have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.
ITEM 12.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Pursuant to the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in its best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorneys fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 which may be permitted for directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
