Preliminary Prospectus
SINGLE SOURCE FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION
a New York corporation
1,125,000 Shares of Common Stock at $2.01 Per Share
($.001 Par Value) by the Selling Shareholders (See below)
Certain shareholders (see "Selling Shareholders") Single Source
Financial Services Corporation, a New York corporation (the
"Company"), are offering to sell 1,125,000 shares of common
stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock") at $2.00 per
share. The Company sells and leases various types of equipment
to record electronic financial transactions, such as credit and
debit card purchases, to merchants. The Company also offers
access to electronic processing of such financial transactions. Prior
to this offering, there has been no public market for the Common
Stock and there can be no assurance that any such market will
develop in the future or that if developed, such a market will be
maintained.
The Selling Shareholders acquired the Common Stock in
private placement transactions which were exempt from the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). The
Selling Shareholders may from time to time sell shares of the
Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, on any other
national securities exchange or automated quotation system
on which the Common Stock may be listed or traded, in
negotiated transactions or otherwise, at prices then prevailing
or related to the then current market price or at negotiated
prices. The Common Stock of the Selling Shareholders may
be sold directly or through brokers or dealers. See "Plan of
Distribution."
The initial offering price for the Common Stock has been
determined by the Company's Management and does not necessarily
relate to the Company's book value, net worth, financial condition
or other established criteria of value. The Company will receive
none of the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock by its
shareholders.
The Company will receive no part of the proceeds from the
sale of the shares of the Common Stock owned by the Selling
Shareholders. All expenses of registration incurred in
connection with this offering will be paid by the Company, but
all selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Shareholders
will be paid by the Selling Shareholders. See "Selling Shareholders."
The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers participating
in the distribution of the Common Stock may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of the 1933 Act, and any
commissions or discounts given to any such broker-dealer may
be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under
the 1933 Act.
The Common Stock has not been registered for sale
under the securities laws of any state as of the date of this
Prospectus. However, 10,999,133 shares of the Company's
Common Stock were issued pursuant to an exchange offer which
commenced in October, 1994 under Rule 504. Pursuant to a
subsequent six to one reverse stock split, these shareholders held
1,833,189 shares free of any restriction on transfer and resale.
Nonetheless, brokers or dealers effecting transactions in the
Common Stock should confirm the registration thereof under the
securities laws of the states in which transactions occur or the
existence of an exemption from registration.
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY ARE HIGHLY
SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK
AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION. SEE "RISK FACTORS"
BEGINNING ON PAGE 5 AND "DILUTION."
NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF
THESE SECURITIES OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY
OR ACCURACY OF THE PROSPECTUS. ANY
REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL
OFFENSE.
After the effective date of this registration, the Company intends
to apply to participate on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board
Electronic Quotation Service ("Bulletin Board") maintained by the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). The
Company will also then be a reporting issuer subject to the
reporting requirements established by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including, but not limited to, the filing of quarterly
reports on Form 10Q and the filing of annual reports on Form 10K.
The date of this Prospectus is , 2001
Item 3. Summary Information and Risk Factors.
THIS SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY
REFERENCE TO, AND SHOULD BE READ IN
CONJUNCTION WITH, THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS
PROSPECTUS, WHICH CONTAINS MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO EACH OF THE
MATTERS SUMMARIZED IN THIS PROSPECTUS AS WELL
AS OTHER MATTERS NOT COVERED IN THE SUMMARY.
ALL PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY
REVIEW THE ENTIRE CONTENTS OF THE PROSPECTUS
AND THE EXHIBITS ATTACHED HERETO, INDIVIDUALLY
AND WITH THEIR OWN TAX, LEGAL AND BUSINESS
ADVISORS. All share and per share information reflects a one
share for every six share reverse stock split effective as of October
18, 2000.
This Prospectus contains certain forward looking statements and
information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of
Management as well as assumptions made by, and information
currently available to, the Company. When used in this Prospectus,
the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "will",
"could", "may", and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward looking statements but the absence of any word does not
mean that the statement is not forward looking. Such statements
reflect the current views of Management with respect to future
events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and
assumptions, including those described under "Risks Factors" and
elsewhere in this Prospectus. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described
herein. In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the
above factors should be carefully considered in evaluating the
Company and its business and before purchasing the securities
offered hereby.
The Company: Single Source Financial Services Corporation
("Company") is a New York corporation formed on
September 19, 1994. The Company's principal
business address is 10780 Santa Monica Boulevard,
Suite 240, Los Angeles, California 90025. The
telephone number is (888) 262-1600.
Business of The Company intends to acquire several companies
the Company: in the financial services area. On November 7,
2000, the Company acquired Single Source Electronic
Transactions, Inc. ("SSET"), a Nevada corporation.
SSET is the Company's only acquisition to date
and constitutes the Company's only operating
business. SSET sells and leases to merchants various
types of equipment used to record and to facilitate
electronic financial transactions, such as credit and
debit card purchases. However, where the merchant
elects to lease the equipment, SSET sells the lease
to an outside equipment leasing company. The Company
offers a wide range of such electronic transaction
equipment, including, without limitation, credit card
processing equipment, debit card processing equipment,
automated teller machines ("ATM"), smart cards,
construction and maintenance of internet web sites,
including electronic credit capabilities, and
electronic check verification equipment. In addition,
the Company attempts to offer access to the
electronic processing of such transactions to its
customers at the lowest available rate. For these
reasons, the Company believes that its operation of
SSET will become profitable over the next few months.
State of The Company was incorporated under the name Ream
Organization Printing Paper Corp., pursuant to the laws of the
of the State of New York, on September 19, 1994. In

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information provided in this Prospectus,
the following risk factors should be considered carefully in
evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing any of
the Common Stock. A purchase of the Common Stock is
speculative in nature and involves numerous risks. No purchase of
the Common Stock should be made by any person who cannot
afford to lose the entire amount of such investment.
AS NOTED ABOVE, THIS PROSPECTUS SPECIFIES
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS
MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE RESULTS
DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE
SPECIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS AND
ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. PROSPECTIVE
PURCHASERS OF SHARES MUST BE PREPARED FOR THE
POSSIBLE LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENTS IN THE
COMPANY. THE ORDER IN WHICH THE FOLLOWING
RISK FACTORS ARE PRESENTED IS ARBITRARY, AND
PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF SHARES SHOULD NOT
CONCLUDE, BECAUSE OF THE ORDER OF
PRESENTATION OF THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS,
THAT ONE RISK FACTOR IS MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN
THE OTHER RISK FACTORS.
1. Forward Looking Statements. Information specified in this
Prospectus contains "forward looking statements" which can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as
"believes", "could", "possibly", "probably", "anticipates",
"estimates", "projects", "expects", "may", "will" or "should" or the
negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable
terminology. Such statements are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions. No assurances can be given that the
future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be
achieved. The following matters constitute cautionary statements
identifying important factors with respect to such forward-looking
statements, including certain risks and uncertainties, that could
cause actual results to vary materially from the future results
covered in such forward-looking statements. Among the key
factors that have a direct bearing on the Company's results of
operations are the Company's lack of capital, the newness of the
Company's business operations, and the cost and effectiveness of
the Company's operating strategy. Other factors could also cause
actual results to vary materially from the future results covered in
such forward-looking statements.
2. Limited Operating History. The Company has a limited
operating history. Although the Company was formed in 1994, it
has not operated any business during the past five years and its
operation of SSET did not commence until November 7, 2000.
Thus, the Company has no operating history from which a
prospective investor could judge the Company's operating
efficiency or effectiveness. Furthermore, there is no history from
which a prospective investor could determine the ability of
management to properly operate the business. Furthermore, new
businesses traditionally have difficulties in their operation since they
come upon unforeseen problems, expenses, and delays.
3. No Operating Profit. To date, neither the Company nor
SSET has ever generated a profit in its business operation.
Although Management believes that SSET will become profitable
within the next 90 days, there can be no assurance that it will do so
or that it will ever make a profit.
4. Need For Operating Capital. The Company's plans for
expansion require it to obtain significant operating capital over the
next few years. The Company intends to acquire other companies
similar to SSET and to acquire compatible financial services
companies when, and if, such companies become available. As can
be seen from the attached financials, both the Company and SSET
have limited capital available to fund such transactions. Therefore,
the Company will be dependent upon raising funds to accomplish
these goals. In the event that the Company is able to increase
SSET revenue as it anticipates it can, the Company will probably
require additional funds to satisfy its capital needs over the next year.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to raise the necessary funds or that it will be able to do so on terms
acceptable to it. Likewise, many of the Company's competitors are
better financed than the Company and are in a better position to
take advantage of such acquisition opportunities than is the
Company. Nonetheless, the Company believes that such funds
may be available from its current major shareholders.
5. Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers. Article VI
of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company and Article VI of
the Company's Bylaws include provisions eliminating the personal
liability of the directors and officers of the Company to the
Company and its shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director or officer. Accordingly, the Articles of
Incorporation provide that the directors of the Company may have
no liability to the shareholders of the Company for any mistakes or
errors of judgment or for any act of omission, unless such act or
omission involves intentional misconduct, bad faith, a knowing
violation of law or a personal financial gain or other advantage.
The Bylaws provide that the directors and officers may have no
personal liability unless finally adjudicated to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty.
DISCLOSURE OF OPINION OF SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION REGARDING
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES:
INSOFAR AS INDEMNIFICATION FOR LIABILITIES
ARISING PURSUANT TO THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933
MAY BE PERMITTED TO DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR
PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO
THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, THE COMPANY HAS BEEN
INFORMED THAT IN THE OPINION OF THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION THAT SUCH
INDEMNIFICATION IS AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY AS
EXPRESSED IN THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND IS,
THEREFORE, UNENFORCEABLE.
6. Speculative Investment. Our business objectives must be
considered speculative and there is no assurance that we will satisfy
those objectives. No assurance can be given that the shareholders
of the Company will realize a substantial return on their purchase of
the Common Stock, or any return whatsoever, or that the
shareholders of the Company will not lose their entire investment in
the Company. For this reason, each prospective purchaser should
read this Prospectus and all exhibits to this Prospectus carefully and
should consult with that purchaser's attorney, business advisor, or
investment advisor.
7. Penny Stock Regulation. The Securities and Exchange
Commission ("Commission") has adopted rules that regulate
broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny
stocks". Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of
less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national
securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided
that current price and volume information with respect to
transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or
system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules,
to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the
Commission, which specifies information about penny stocks and
the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the
broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly
account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock
held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules
require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise
exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer 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. These disclosure requirements may have the effect
of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock
that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. If any of the
Company's Common Stock becomes subject to the penny stock
rules, holders of that Common Stock may have difficulty selling
that Common Stock.
8. Reliance on Key Personnel. Our future success will depend
in part on the services of our key personnel and, additionally, on
our ability to identify, hire and retain additional qualified personnel.
There is significant competition for qualified personnel in the areas
of our activities, and there can be no assurance that we will be able
to continue to attract and retain such personnel necessary for the
development of our business. Because of the intense competition,
there can be no assurance that we will be successful in adding
personnel as needed to satisfy the staffing requirements of the
Company. Failure to attract and retain key personnel could have a
material adverse effect on the Company. We do not maintain key
person life insurance on any of our key personnel.
9. Determination of Offering Price. The Offering Price of the
Common Stock was arbitrarily determined by Company
Management. Among the factors considered in determining the
price of the Common Stock were Management's opinion of the
prospects of the Company, the background of the Company, the
results of the Company's short operating history and current
conditions affecting the Company's business and operations.
However, the offering price does not bear any relationship to the
Company's assets, earnings, book value, cash flow, or other
generally accepted criteria of valuation.
10. No Foreseeable Dividends. To date, the Company has
never paid any dividends to its shareholders. Furthermore, the
Company does not anticipate paying dividends on the Common
Stock in the foreseeable future; but, rather, the Company plans to
retain earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of the
business of the Company.
11. Management of Growth. With every newly organized
corporation, it is important that the Company properly manage its
plans for growth. To date, the Company has required, and is
expected to continue to require, the full utilization of the
Company's management, financial, and other resources, since the
Company has not had adequate working capital. The Company's
ability to expand its business effectively will depend on its ability to
improve and expand its operations, including its financial and
management information systems, and to recruit, train and manage
executive staff and other employees. There can be no assurance that
Management will be able to manage its growth effectively, and the
failure to effectively manage growth may have a materially adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations. Furthermore, there
can be no assurance that the Company will experience any growth.
12. No Public Market for Securities. Prior to this Offering,
there has been no public market for the Common Stock being
offered hereby. There can be no assurance that such a public
market will develop, even if this Offering were to prove successful,
or that if a public market were to develop it will continue to be
maintained. Therefore, there can be no assurance that an investor
will be able to liquidate his/her investment in the Company's public
stock if the investor should desire to do so.
13. Control by Existing Shareholders. Our directors, officers
and principal (greater than 5%) shareholders, taken as a group,
together with their affiliates, beneficially own, in the aggregate, a
majority of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. Certain
principal shareholders are directors or executive officers of the
Company and certain other company principals are related by blood
to each other. As a result of such ownership, these shareholders
may be able to exert significant influence, or even control, over
matters requiring approval by the shareholders of the Company,
including the election of directors.
14. Our Ability to Implement our Business Strategy. Although
we intend to pursue a strategy of aggressive marketing of our
products and services and expansion of services to a growing
customer base, implementation of this strategy will depend in large
part on our ability to (i) establish a significant customer base and
maintain favorable relationships with those customers; (ii)
effectively introduce acceptable products to our customers at
competitive rates; (iii) obtain adequate financing on favorable terms
to fund our business strategy; (iv) maintain appropriate procedures,
policies, and systems; (v) hire, train, and retain skilled employees;
and (vi) continue to operate in the face of increasing competition.
Our inability to obtain or maintain any or all of these factors could
impair our ability to successfully implement our business strategy,
which could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations and financial condition.
15. Changes in Electronic Financial Credit and Payment
Procedures. At the current time, there is substantial development in
the manner in which consumers pay merchants for goods and
services. In addition to credit cards, consumers use, inter alia,
smart cards, debit cards, ATM machines, signature verification
processes, and the internet. The Company's current business
operations are based upon these changes in payment methodology.
For this reason, the Company offers through purchase and lease a
wide variety of equipment which a merchant can use to obtain
virtually instantaneous electronic payment for products and services
sold to a consumer. In addition, the Company offers access to low
rate processing services for such transactions. The Company
believes that its wide variety of equipment and its low rate
processing services makes it extremely competitive. However, the
industry is rapidly changing and developing and the Company must
keep abreast of such developments and changes as they occur if it is
to remain competitive. Furthermore, the rapid development of the
industry may cause certain products or services to become obsolete.
There can be no assurance as to which services, if any, may become
obsolete and what effect obsolescence will have on the Company.
Also, as the amount of national debt increases or decreases, federal
and state governments may regulate this industry through the
passage of new laws. Currently, only the banking aspects of this
industry are regulated. There is no way to predict the effect that
additional regulation would have upon the manner in which the
Company does business.
16. Securities Market Factors. There is currently no public
market for the Company's Common Stock. Should there develop a
market for the Company's Common Stock, the market price for the
Company's Common Stock may be significantly affected by such
factors as the Company's financial results, introduction of new
services, competitive companies and products and general
economic conditions. Additionally, in recent years, the stock
market has experienced a high level of price and volume volatility.
During this period, market prices for many companies, particularly
small and emerging growth companies, have experienced wide price
fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of
such companies. The market price for the Company's Common
Stock may be affected by general stock market volatility. If a
market does not develop for the Company's Common Stock, new
investors and the Selling Shareholders may be required to retain
their stock position in the Company for an indefinite period of time.
17. Effect of Economy. The electronic financial transaction
industry is dependent upon consumer purchase of goods from
merchants. Management believes that the greater the volume of
such consumer purchases, the greater will be the need for the
products and services offered by the Company. In the event of a
poor economy, not only will consumer purchases decrease, but
merchants will be less willing to invest in new equipment to effect
electronic transfers. Thus, a poor economy should have a material
negative effect on the Company's operations and may make it
impossible for the Company to proceed with its current plan of
operations.
18. No Liability or Other Insurance. Our business may expose
us to potential liability risks that are inherent in the marketing of
products. However, we do not currently have any liability
insurance. Since products liability insurance is expensive, there can
be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain such
insurance on acceptable terms or, if obtained, that such insurance
will provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities.
Although we are attempting to become additional insureds on the
policies of the manufacturers from whom we purchase equipment,
there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. In addition,
the Company intends to obtain general liability insurance to cover
the day to day risks of operating a business. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company intends to attempt to avoid activities which
contain unacceptable liability exposure. Nonetheless, Management
believes that the inability to obtain appropriate insurance could have
a material adverse effect upon the business operations and growth
and the Company's ability to expand the business.
19. Competition. The Company is in a very competitive
industry. The financial electronic transaction industry continues to
undergo change and competition is intense and is expected to
increase. There can be no assurance that competitors have not or
will not succeed in developing techniques or procedures that are
more attractive and/or easy to use and would, accordingly, render
our products and services obsolete and noncompetitive.
Furthermore, much of our competition has substantially greater
experience, financial and technical resources and production,
marketing and development capabilities than we do.
20. No Assurances of Revenue or Operating Profits. To date,
the Company has generated no revenue and neither the Company
nor SSET has generated any profit. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to develop or maintain consistent revenue
sources or that the Company's operations will become profitable.
21. Federal Income Tax Consequences. We have obtained no
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service and no opinion of counsel
with respect to the federal income tax consequences of the purchase
or sale of the Common Stock. Consequently, investors must
evaluate for themselves the income tax implications which attach to
their purchase, and any subsequent sale, of the Common Stock.
However, Management believes that any profit generated from the
sale of the Common Stock in the Company will be treated as a
long-term or short-term capital gain.
22. Management. Except for Mr. Graham and Mr. Gifis, the
current Company Management has only limited experience in the
electronic reporting and processing of financial transactions. (See
"Management"). This could prove to be detrimental to the
Company's growth and success. Since success or failure of the
Company depends to a large extent upon Management, their lack of
experience and its effect on the Company's business could have a
substantial adverse impact upon the Company's operations.
23. Potential Conflicts of Interest. Company Management is,
and will continue to be, involved in the management of businesses
in addition to the business of the Company. Therefore,
Management's time will not be devoted to the Company on a sole
basis. There can be no assurance that due to other competing
business interests, Management will be able to devote sufficient
time to the Company's business although it intends to do so.
Furthermore, Management may become involved in other
businesses which compete for the business of the Company.
Although Management intends to operate in a fair and reasonable
way with respect to business decisions affecting the Company, there
can be no assurance that it will be able to do so.
24. Sales Force of Independent Contractors. The Company
operates from offices located in California and in other States using
independent contractors for its sales force. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to find sufficient numbers
of independent contractors to keep the various offices operating or
that the Company will be able to manage such independent
contractors sufficiently to keep the offices operating at maximum
efficiency and profitability. Therefore, the Company's ability to
successfully hire and manage its sales force in the various states
may have a material impact upon the financial success and growth
of the Company. This is especially true as the number of offices in
the various States increases.
Item 4. Use of Proceeds.
There will be no proceeds to the Company from the sale of the
Common Stock by the Selling Shareholders.
Item 5. Determination of Offering Price.
Management has considered the following factors to determine the
offering price herein. In this regard, the Common Stock is not yet
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other national securities
exchange or automated quotation system and as such does not
currently have an average bid or ask price. The offering price of
the Common Stock was determined by the Company Management
based upon its own evaluation of Company operations and
Company potential. Such value has no relationship to any
established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per
share. Additionally, because the Company has no significant
operating history and has not generated any significant earnings to
date, the offering price of the Common Stock is not based on past
earnings, nor is the offering price of the Common Stock indicative
of current market value for the assets owned by the Company.
Item 6. Dilution.
As of October 31, 2000, there were 1,833,189 shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding with a net tangible book value of
($2,685) or a net tangible book value of ($.00146) per share. On
November 7, 2000, the Company purchased SSET for 10,057,500
shares of Common Stock, a portion of which shares are being
registered herein.
The Company is registering 1,125,000 shares paid by the
Company to acquire SSET at $2.00 per share. Thus, as of
November 7, 2000, there are 11,845,689 shares of the
Company's Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Assuming that as of October 31, 2000, the Company had obtained
all the assets of SSET, there would be a total of 11,845,689 shares
of Common Stock issued and outstanding with a net tangible book
value of ($99,213) or a net tangible book value of ($.00837) per share.
Assuming that all 1,125,000 shares registered hereby were sold, the
purchasing shareholders would own 9.49% of the outstanding shares.
The dilution to the purchasing stockholders would be $2.00837 per share
or (1.00415) per share based on a purchase price of $2.00 per share.
Net tangible book value per share is obtained by subtracting from
the total tangible assets the total liabilities and then dividing the sum
by the total number of outstanding shares. Dilution is the difference
between the public Offering price per share and the net tangible
book value per share immediately after the Offering.
The following Chart sets forth dilution.
Public Offering price per share $2.00
Net tangible book value per share
as of October 31, 2000 ($.00837)
Pro forma net tangible book value
per share after Offering ($.00837)
Dilution per share to investors $2.00837
Gain per share to original shareholders $2.00837
Item 7. Selling Shareholders.
The following table sets forth the number of shares of Common
Stock which may be offered for sale from time to time by the
Selling Shareholders. These shares of Common Stock constitute a
part of the restricted Common Stock known to the Company to be
beneficially owned by the Selling Shareholders. To the extent that
they own any other restricted Common Stock or any unrestricted
Common Stock, it shall be noted below. None of the Selling
Shareholders have held any position or office with the Company,
except as specified in the following table. Other than the
relationships described below, none of the Selling Shareholders had
or have any material relationship with the Company.
Baki Arbria
20,487 Shares of Common Stock
In addition, Mr. Arbria holds 479,513 shares of restricted Common
Stock.
Brandon Becker
663,539 Shares of Common Stock
In addition, Mr. Becker holds 2,271,875 shares of restricted
Common Stock and 236,342 shares of additional unrestricted
Common Stock. Mr. Becker is also the Vice President and a
Director of the Company.
Lorraine Dorsey

Michael Sock
20,487 Shares of Common Stock

Harry L. Wilson
25,000 Shares of Common Stock
In addition, Mr. Wilson holds 225,000 shares of restricted Common

Item 8. Plan of Distribution.
The Selling Shareholders may from time to time sell all or a
portion of their shares of Common Stock in the over-the-counter
market, or on any other national securities exchange on which the
Common Stock is or becomes listed or traded, in negotiated
transactions or otherwise, at prices then prevailing or related to the
then current market price or at negotiated prices. These shares of
Common Stock will not be sold in an underwritten public offering.
These shares of Common Stock may be sold directly or through
brokers or dealers. The methods by which this Common Stock may
be sold by the Selling Shareholders include: (a) a block trade
(which may involve crosses) in which the broker or dealer so
engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; (b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and
resale by such broker or dealer for its transactions in which the
broker solicits purchasers; and (d) privately negotiated transactions.
In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by Selling
Shareholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to
participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions or
discounts from Selling Shareholders (or, if any such broker-dealer
acts as agent for the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those
customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers
may agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number
of such shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent
such broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for a Selling
Shareholder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price
required to fulfill the broker-deal commitment to such Selling
Shareholder. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may
thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions
(which may involve crosses and block transactions and sales to and
through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature
described above) in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at
prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices then
related to the then-current market price or in negotiated
transactions and, in connection with such resales, may pay to, or
receive from, the purchasers of such shares commissions as
described above.
In connection with the distribution of their Common Stock , the
Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers. In connection with such transactions,
broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the Common Stock in
the course of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling
Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders may also sell the Common
Stock short and redeliver the Common stock to close out the short
positions. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or
other transactions with broker-dealers which require the delivery to
the broker-dealer of the shares of Common Stock. The Selling
Shareholders may also loan or pledge the shares of Common Stock
to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the Common
Stock so loaned or upon a default the broker-dealer may affect
sales of the pledged shares. In addition to the foregoing, the Selling
Shareholders may enter into, from time to time, other types of
hedging transactions.
The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers participating in
the distributions of the Common Stock may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the 1933 Act
and any profit on the sale of the Common Stock by the Selling
Shareholders and any commissions or discounts given to any such
broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the 1933 Act.
The shares of restricted Common Stock may also be sold pursuant
to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act beginning one year after issuance,
provided such date is at least 90 days after the date of this
Prospectus.
The Company has filed the Registration Statement, of which this
Prospectus forms a part, with respect to the sale of the Common
Stock. There can be no assurance that the Selling Shareholders will
sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock offered hereunder.
Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act")
and the regulations thereunder, any person engaged in a distribution
of the shares of Common stock offered by this Prospectus may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to
the Common Stock of the Company during the applicable "cooling
off" periods prior to the commencement of such distribution. In
addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling
Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including,
without limitation, Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7, provisions of which may
limit the timing of purchases and sales of Common Stock by the
Selling Shareholders.
We have advised the Selling Shareholders that, during such time
as they may be engaged in a distribution of any of the shares of
Common Stock the Company is registering by this Registration
Statement, they are required to comply with Regulation M
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In
general, Regulation M precludes any Selling Shareholder, any
affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who
participates in such distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or
attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security
which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is
complete. Regulation M defines a "distribution" as an offering of
securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by
the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling
efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a
"distribution participant" as an underwriter, prospective
underwriter, broker, dealer or other person who has agreed to
participate or who is participating in a distribution.
Regulation M prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to
stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of
that security, except as specifically permitted by Rule 104 of
Regulation M. The stabilizing transactions may cause the price of
the Common Stock to be higher than it would otherwise be in the
absence of these transactions. We have advised the Selling
Shareholders that stabilizing transactions permitted by Regulation
M allow bids to purchase the Common Stock so long as the
stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum, and that
Regulation M specifically prohibits stabilizing that is the result of
fraudulent, manipulative, or deceptive practices. Selling
shareholders and distribution participants will be required to consult
with their own legal counsel to ensure compliance with Regulation M.
Item 9. Legal Proceedings.
Except as described below, there are no legal actions pending
against the Company nor are any such legal actions contemplated
although from time to time, the Company may be party to various
legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of
business.
However, SSET and Michael Venni, the Manager of SSET's Los
Angeles office, are named in a lawsuit entitled E-Commerce
Processing, a California corporation v. Michael Venni and Single
Source Electronics (sic) Transactions, Los Angeles Superior Court
Case No. BC 237039. The case alleges that SSET wrongfully hired
E-Commerce Processing ("ECI") staff from ECI, that SSET took
ECI trade secret information, leads, and customers, that SSET
defamed ECI, and that SSET committed unfair competition. ECI
seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
SSET denies ECI's allegations and denies that it owes any amount
to ECI. SSET also contends that ECI is interfering with its
business by calling its staff in order to threaten and harass them and
by defaming SSET. SSET has filed a cross-complaint against ECI
for defamation, interference with prospective business advantage,
and various other torts. SSET has no other actions pending.

Beneficial Ownership. Beneficial ownership is determined in
accordance with the rules of the Commission and generally includes
voting or investment power with respect to securities. In
accordance with Commission rules, shares of the Company's
Common Stock which may be acquired upon exercise of stock
options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which
become exercisable within 60 days of the date of the table are
deemed beneficially owned by the optionees. Subject to community
property laws, where applicable, the persons or entities named in
the table above have sole voting and investment power with respect
to all shares of the Company's Common Stock indicated as
beneficially owned by them.
(c) Changes in Control.
Management of the Company is not aware of any arrangements
which may result in "changes in control" as that term is defined by
the provisions of Section 228.403(c) of Regulation S-B.
Item 12. Description of Securities.
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, $.001 par value, with each share of Common
Stock having equal rights, including voting privileges. The holders
of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each
share of record and each fractional share shall be entitled to a
corresponding fractional vote, on all matters to be voted on by
shareholders. There is no cumulative voting.
The holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to
receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Company's Board
of Directors from funds legally available therefor; provided,
however, that cash dividends are at the sole discretion of the
Company's Board of Directors. In the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Common
Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available
for distribution to them after payment of liabilities of the Company
and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any,
having preference in relation to the Company's Common Stock.
Holders of the shares of the Company's Common Stock have no
preemptive rights. All of the outstanding shares of the Company's
Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
Dividend Policy. Any payment of dividends will be at the sole and
absolute discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will
depend upon earnings, financial condition, capital requirements,
amount of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to
payment of dividends, and other factors. Any such dividends may
be paid in cash, property or shares of the Company's Common
Stock. The Company has not paid any dividends since its
formation, and it is not probable that any dividends on the
Company's $.001 par value Common Stock will be declared at any
time in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be subject
to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, and will
depend upon, among other things, the operating and financial
condition of the Company, the Company's capital requirements and
general business conditions. Therefore, there can be no assurance
that any dividends on the Company's $.001 par value Common
Stock will be paid in the future.
COMMON STOCK ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE.
If the Company's shareholders sell substantial amounts of the
Common Stock in the public market following this offering, the
prevailing market price of the Common Stock could decline, as well
as the Company's ability to raise equity capital in the future. Upon
the closing of this offering and assuming all shares of Common
Stock available for sale herein are sold, the Company will have
outstanding an aggregate of 11,845,689 shares of Common Stock
(including the Common Stock being offered herein). All of the
Common Stock sold in this offering will be freely tradeable without
restriction and other shares of the Company's Common Stock will
be eligible for sale in the public market as follows:

Item 13. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
No "expert", as that term is defined pursuant to Section
228.509(a) of Regulation S-B, or the Company's "counsel", as that
term is defined pursuant to Section 228.509(b) of Regulation S-B,

Additional information about certain relationships and related
transactions is provided more completely under the portion of this
Prospectus entitled "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions" at Item 19 below.
Item 16. Description of Business.
(a) Business Development.
Single Source Financial Services Corporation is a New York
corporation which was incorporated on September 19, 1994 under
the name Ream Printing Paper Corp. On October 18, 2000, the
Board of Directors voted to change the name of the corporation to
Single Source Financial Services Corporation which name change
took place in November, 2000.
The Company has never been in bankruptcy, receivership, or any
similar proceeding.
On November 7, 2000, the Company acquired Single Source
Electronic Transactions, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("SSET") for
10,012,500 shares of Common Stock in the Company. Prior to the
acquisition, the Company had not engaged in any business for a
number of years.
SSET was formed in January, 1998, and commenced operation in
California in January, 2000. Although the Company has operated,
to date, at a loss, SSET's business has expanded and Management
believes that SSET will become profitable after approximately two
or three months due to the continued expansion of the business in
sales volume and geographic coverage.
The purchase of SSET was a material acquisition by the Company
and constitutes the initial business which the Company intends to
acquire. Based upon such acquisition, the Company sells and leases
all types of financial electronic transaction equipment to merchants
and offers the merchants access to electronic processing of such
transactions. In the event that the merchant elects to acquire the
equipment through a lease transaction, SSET sells the lease to an
equipment leasing company at a discounted rate. Although SSET
has been operating since January, 2000, the Company has been
involved in the operation of the SSET business for less than a week.
Based upon the SSET acquisition, the Company has acquired 7
offices located in Los Angeles, California, Mission Hills, California,
Irvine, California, San Diego, California, Houston, Texas,
Providence, Rhode Island, and Denver, Colorado. The Company
has also acquired an independent contractor who is selling for the
Company in Florida. Thus, as a result of the acquisition, the
Company currently has approximately twenty-five employees who
are managers and administrative personnel responsible for the
individual offices and the Company as a whole and approximately
seventy independent contractors who are responsible for selling the
Company's products directly to individual merchants. The
independent contractors are commissioned while the Company's
employees are salaried. As of this time, the Company is considering
closing of its Mission Hills office and has hired a new Florida
independent contractor to replace the former independent
contractor who was let go.
The Company operates as an independent sales organization. The
term "independent sales organization" means that the Company
does not have a formal relationship with any specific processor.
This is the first and only business which the Company has operated
during the past three years.
(b) Business of Issuer.
At the current time, the Company's exclusive business is the sale
and lease of various types of financial electronic transaction
equipment to merchants and the offer to merchants of access to
electronic processing of such transactions. However, in those cases
where a merchant elects to lease equipment, SSET sells the lease to
an equipment leasing company. The Company offers processing
services through 1st National Processing, a third party processor.
With respect to those accounts which the Company refers to 1st
National Processing, the Company receives a small residual steam
of payments from the processor. The payments constitute a small
percentage of the business sent to the processor by those customers
referred to the processor by the Company and is called a "residual".
The Company operates by causing its independent contractors to
contact merchants in order to sell or lease to the merchants
equipment to perform financial electronic transactions such as
credit and debit card transactions. At the current time, the
Company has approximately 25 full-time employees and
approximately 70 independent contractors. The Company carries a
number of different brands of electronic transaction processing
equipment and sells and leases the equipment at prices ranging from
$500.00 to $2,500.00. The Company also offers electronic
transaction processing services to the Company's equipment buyers
or lessees through 1st National Processing in order to permit 1st
National Processing to process the customer's electronic
transactions.
The Company offers a wide variety of electronic transaction
processing equipment to merchants including, without limitation,
credit card processing equipment, debit card processing equipment,
smart cards, ATMs, electronic check verification services, and
internet web sites capable of taking credit cards, debit cards, and
checks. The Company also offers what it believes to be the lowest
transaction processing fee available.
Basically, such a credit or debit card transaction is done as
follows: The card is swiped through a terminal at the merchant's
facility and an amount of purchase is punched in. Thereafter the
card and transaction information is electronically transmitted to a
third party processor. The processor sends the information to a
database network to verify that the card is not listed as stolen, lost,
altered or otherwise invalid. If the card is valid, the third party
processor then elects to process the transaction or forward it to a
larger processor for processing. The election is made based on the
transaction amount, type of merchant, and whether the card was
used at the terminal or the card information was orally provided
(e.g., telephone order). Next, the processor contacts the card
issuer's bank (issuing bank) to see if there is sufficient credit
available on the card account to allow the transaction to be
approved. If the transaction is approved the issuing bank sends the
funds due to the processor's bank (settlement bank). The
settlement bank then deducts the processor's fees, placing them in
the processor's account, and forwards the balance to the merchant's
bank (receiving bank). These transactions are almost instantaneous
and allow for the prompt exchange of funds.
Additionally, after the transactions is completed, a portion of the
funds collected by the processor are paid to the independent sales
offices as a residual. Although the residual per transaction is very
small, due to a large number of transactions, the residual can
increase in value substantially. For example, SSET's current
residual is about 15% of the amount received by the processor.
Since the Company has taken over the SSET business, there has
been no publicly announced new product or service. Likewise,
there is no major customer since the customer base is fairly broad.
The business does not utilize raw materials. The business does
purchase equipment for resale and lease and such equipment is
readily available. The Company's major suppliers are CrossCheck,
Inc. for check guarantee equipment, Talento for EFT Terminals,
MAGTEK for MICR Check Readers, TASQ for ATMs, and similar
dealers for other related equipment.
The Company has no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises,
concessions, royalties or labor contracts. However, the Company
intends to develop and trademark an appropriate corporate logo
over the next few months.
Although electronic transaction processing is regulated through
the banking industry, the business in which the Company operates is
not regulated by any governmental entity. The Company is aware
of no environmental law issues in connection with the Company's
operations.
The Company is aware of no current attempts to impose
governmental regulation on the Company's current business.
Therefore, the Company is unable to predict in any meaningful way
what regulation, if any, would be imposed and what effect it would
have upon the Company. However, the Company Management
believes that it would be able to comply with all such regulations
and that to the extent such regulation caused certain companies to
cease operations, it would improve the Company's competitive
position.
Although the electronic financial transaction industry is relatively
new, it has generated a good deal of interest since it permits
merchants to obtain prompt payment for their sales of goods and
services at a relatively small price. As a result thereof, the business
is very competitive and there are thousands of companies seeking to
sell such services or to process such transactions. The Company
believes that it has an edge over many of its competitors because it
has an extremely wide variety of electronic transaction methods
available to its customers and because it offers what Management
believes to be the lowest transaction processing fees in the United
States through 1st National Processing. The diversity in transaction
processing methods is important since it permits customers to
purchase all of its electronic financial transaction equipment needs
from a single seller.
(c) Reports to Security Holders.
As of this time the Company is not required to deliver any annual
reports to its security holders. However, commencing on October
31, 2001, the Company intends to do so voluntarily. Management
currently intends that such reports will include audited financial
statements.
The Company is not yet a reporting company. However, after this
Registration becomes effective, the Company intends to file the
required quarterly and annual reports.
The Company's web site is located at www.ssetonline.com. This
web site explains the services currently offered by the Company.
Its toll free telephone number is (888) 262-1600.
Item 17. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(a) Plan of Operation.
During the next 12 months, the Company intends to expand its
current operations by the opening and development of new offices
in various additional parts of the United States. In order to open a
new office, the Company must lease space, hire and train
management for the office and hire and train independent
contractors to sell the Company's products to merchants. The
Company believes that the cost of opening an office is
approximately $25,000 to $50,000. This includes maintaining a
small inventory of equipment and waiting for the generation of sales
after the office is opened. It is anticipated that as each office is
open, the Company will add 2 to 5 management employees and 5 to
15 independent contractor salesmen. This cost can be minimized by
hiring experienced management and sales staff in the various
locations where the Company desires to open. Historically, the
Company has expanded its business and covered operating deficits
by borrowing, and repaying, funds from existing major shareholders.
The Company anticipates that it will continue to do so over the next year.
Absent the development of a new electronic transaction modality,
the Company does not anticipate adding any new products to those
currently offered. However, depending upon customer demand, the
Company may add additional brands of equipment to those which it
currently sells.
The Company does not anticipate adding any significant plant or
equipment. Nor does the Company anticipate engaging in any
product research and development.
However, the Company is currently considering the acquisition of
an electronic transaction processor. The Company believes that the
acquisition of a processor will enable the Company to maximize the
income from those merchants which it signs for processing.
Management also believes that it can acquire a small to mid-size
processor for Company stock and approximately $1,000,000 in
cash depending upon the processor. This will enable the Company
to obtain income from processing transactions which can be
referred to the Company's processor by independent sales offices in
addition to those owned by the Company. However, there can be
no assurance that such an acquisition will occur during the next 12
months or at all.
In addition, the Company would also consider the acquisition of
any other complimentary financial services business which may be
presented to the Company. However, there can be no assurance
that such a business opportunity will be presented to the Company
or that if such an opportunity is presented to the Company, the
Company will be able to acquire such a business on terms
acceptable to it.
(b) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
During the past 2 years, the Company has had no business
operations and there have been no changes in its financial condition
until November 7, 2000. On November 7, 2000, the Company
acquired SSET for 10,012,500 shares of its Common Stock.
However, the Company has not operated SSET for a sufficient time
to enable it to present a meaningful analysis of those issues
presented for discussion herein.
However, Management currently believes that the Company will
have 3 sources of funds available to it during the next 12 months.
First, the Company should generate profit from its sales and leasing
of electronic transaction equipment. Second, the Company should
generate income from its residual steam. Third, the Company
should generate capital from its sale of the stock registered herein.
One trend which Management believes will impact liquidity is that
as a number of customers referred to 1st National Processing
increases, so will the amount of residuals received by the Company
on a monthly basis. Additionally, although Management believes
that SSET will continue to expand its operations and increase its
revenue under the Company, there is uncertainty since the
Company has only been involved with SSET for a very short time.
The Company has no material commitments. Although the
Company anticipates that it will expand and that it may acquire
other businesses, there are no existing commitments that require it
to do so.
Although the Company's business is not seasonal in nature, the
residuals tend to be larger during the holiday season because there
are a greater number of consumer transactions.
Item 18. Description of Property.
The Company does not own any real estate or any other
significant property. However, the Company does lease the
following offices:
1. Los Angeles Office, 10780 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 240,
Los Angeles, California 90025;
2. San Diego Office, 11440 West Bernardo Court, Suite 30,
San Diego, California 92127;
3. Mission Hills Office, 15545 Devonshire Street, Suite 200,
Mission Hills, California 91345;
4. Orange County Office, 17900 Skypark Circle, Suite 230,
Irvine, California 92614;
5. Rhode Island Office, One Davol Square, Suite 9,
Providence, Rhode Island 02903;
6. Denver Office, 707 Seventeenth Street, Suite 2972, Denver,
Colorado 80202; and
7. Houston Office, 1000 F.M. Road, Suite 206, Houston,
Texas 77090.
Item 19. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
On November 7, 2000, the Company purchased 100% of the
issued and outstanding stock of SSET for 10,012,500 shares of
restricted Common Stock in the Company. The acquisition was
made in order to permit the Company to acquire the financial
electronic transaction business of SSET for the Company. The
Company's stock was distributed to the shareholders of SSET on a
pro rata basis. For a breakdown of such stock, please see the chart
contained in response to Item 15.
In this regard, it should be noted that Brandon Becker, Kendra
Becker, Martin Becker, and Pamela Becker are immediate family
members. It should also be noted that Sid Rosenblatt, Julie
Rosenblatt and Arlene Rosenblatt are immediate family members.
Arnold F. Sock, Esq., Michael Sock, and Leona Sock are also
immediate family members.
Item 20. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters.
(a) Market Information.
The Company's Common Stock is not currently being traded on
any public trading market or markets. The Common Stock is the
only class of security issued by the Company.
At the current time, there are 1,833,189 issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock which have no restriction on transfer or
resale in accordance with a Rule 504 reorganization. Through this
offering, the Company proposes to register 1,125,000 shares of
Common Stock in the hands of certain investors. Subject to the
offering becoming effective, there will be 2,958,189 shares of
Common Stock eligible for trading.
The remaining 8,932,500 shares of Common Stock issued to
acquire SSET is restricted stock. The restriction on the transfer of
such stock may be removed in accordance with the safe harbor
contained in Rule 144. Rule 144 provides that after the stock is
held for one year, the shareholders may sell the greater of 1% of the
issued and outstanding stock of the Company or the average
number of shares sold per week over the past 3 weeks through a
broker-assisted public transaction in each fiscal quarter. Moreover,
this requires that the issuer be current in its required final reporting.
The same number of shares may be sold in each succession quarter
until the shareholder has sold all his stock. Furthermore, after the
stock has been held for 2 years, all remaining stock of the
shareholder may be sold unless the shareholder is an affiliate. Thus,
within the next year, all of the 8,932,500 restricted shares will be
eligible for sale under Rule 144.
(b) Holders.
At the current time, there are approximately 1,400 shareholders of
the Company's Common Stock.
(c) Dividends.
To date, no cash dividends have been issued. It is not anticipated
that any will be issued in the foreseeable future. Management is
aware of no restriction on its ability to pay dividends on its
Common Stock.
Item 21. Executive Compensation - Remuneration of Directors and
Officers.
During the Company's last completed fiscal year, ended October
31, 2000, no compensation was awarded to, earned by or paid to
the President or any other officer or director of the Company,
although compensation may be paid in the future.
Monetary compensation of $150,000 per year is to be paid to
William Graham, President of SSET, the business acquired by the
Company on November 7, 2000. Mr. Graham will also be paid the
cost of leasing a 2000 Lincoln, the monthly cost of a cell phone and
the cost of his health benefits. Monetary compensation of $93,000
per year is to be paid to Melvin Grifis, National Sales Manager.
The Company will also pay the monthly cost of a cell phone for Mr.
Grifis.
The Company has not entered into any employment contracts or
any compensatory plan or arrangement with its officers or the

Note 1 - Organization
Single Source Electronic Transactions, Inc. (the
"Company") was incorporated in Nevada on
January 5, 1998. The Company is in the business
of selling credit and debit card processing
equipment to retailers. The Company also offers
electronic transaction processing services to its
customers through a third party processor. The
Company receives residuals on each transaction
processed through the processor by the
Company's customers. The Company acts as a
facilitator to its' customers in obtaining lease
financing of the equipment. In these
arrangements the leasing company pays full sales
price of the equipment to the Company without
recourse.***
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
a. Property and Equipment
The cost of property and equipment is
depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets. Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method for financial reporting and
income tax reporting purposes.
b. Net Loss Per Share
The Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
("EPS") that established standards for the
computation, presentation and disclosure of
earnings per share, replacing the presentation of
Primary EPS with a presentation of Basic EPS.
Basic weighted average shares outstanding as of
October 31, 2000, and December 31, 1999 was
1,000 shares.
c. Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
Company considers cash and cash equivalents to
include all stable, highly liquid investments with
maturities of three months or less.
d. Pervasiveness of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with 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. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
e. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes
under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards 109 ("SFAS 109"). The
method of accounting for income taxes under
SFAS 109 is an asset and liability method. The
asset and liability method requires the
recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets
for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between tax bases and
financial reporting bases of other assets and
liabilities.
f. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Pursuant to SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About
Fair Value of Financial Instruments", the
Company is required to estimate the fair value of
all financial instruments included on its balance
sheets as of October 31, 2000, and December
31, 1999. The Company considers the carrying
value of such amounts in the financial statements
to approximate their face value.
Note 3 - Note Receivable - Employee
In August 2000, the Company advanced to an
employee $25,000, which is evidenced by a
promissory note. The loan is assessed interest at
an annual rate of 7%. The loan matures in July
2003, when the principal balance and accrued
interest become fully and due and payable.
Interest accrued on this loan for the ten-month
period ended October 31, 2000 was $423, which
was credited to operations.
Note 4 - Inventories
Inventories at October 31, 2000, consisted of
equipment held for sale to the Company's
customers. Inventories are valued at the lower of
cost determined by the FIFO method or market.
Note 5 - Property and Equipment
Depreciation charged to operations for the ten
months ended October 31, 2000, amounted to
$220. The Company useful lives of furniture and
office equipment for purposes of computing
depreciation is five years.
Note 6 - Related Party Transactions
a) In 1999, the Company acquired all of the
interest in residuals due two of its former
employees for $16,000. The purchase price
was capitalized and amortized over a ten-
year life using the straight-line method for
financial reporting and income tax reporting
purposes. Amortization expense charged to
operations for the ten-month period ended
October 31, 2000, and for the year ended
December 31, 1999, were $2,667 and $400,
respectively.
b) On September 20, 2000, the Company
received two copiers from an affiliate by
assuming the leases on the equipment. The
first lease is payable in monthly installments
of $152, with the final installment due in
June 2005. The second lease is payable in
monthly installments of $167, with the final
installment due in April 2001. The Company
has accounted for the assumption of these
leases as operating leases.
c) The Company leases its Los Angeles office
from an affiliate on a month-to-month basis
at a rate of $4,601.23 per month. Effective
January 1, 2001 this monthly rate increases
to $6,920.42 per month.
d) During 2000, the Company borrowed a total
of $509,000 from an affiliate. The loans are
evidenced by a promissory note and are
assessed interest at an annual rate of 8%.
The principal balance and accrued interest
become payable in thirty-six equal monthly
installments commencing on April 3, 2003.
Any remaining principal and accrued interest
becomes fully due and payable on April 5,
2006. Accrued interest charged to
operations on this loan for the ten-months
ended October 31, 2000, amounted to
$9,743.
On October 31, 2000, the Company sold to the
lender all of its interest in residuals earned
currently and in the future on all customer
accounts in existence at the time of sale for
$426,000. Under the terms of the sale, the
balance owed the affiliate was reduced by the
sales price. The balance of the loan as of
October 31, 2000, amounted to $92,743.
e) The Company has experienced a loss for the
ten-months ended October 31, 2000, of
$112,295, and has liabilities in excess of
assets at October 31, 2000, totaling $95,723.
The Company's shareholders' have
committed to fund any shortfalls necessary to
meet the Company's obligations of at least
the twelve months.
Note 7 - Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary
differences resulting from income and expense
items reported for financial accounting and tax
purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are
classified as current or non-current, depending
on the classification of the assets and liabilities to
which they relate.

The Company did not calculate a provision for
deferred taxes for the ten-month period ended
October 31, 2000, or for the year ended
December 31, 1999, as any timing differences
between financial statement and income tax
reporting purposes were immaterial.
The Company has available at October 31, 2000,
approximately $102,000 of unused operating
loss carryforwards that may be applied against
future taxable income and that expire in 2020.
An allowance has been provided for by the
Company which reduced the tax benefits accrued
by the Company for its net operating losses to
zero, as it cannot be determined when, or if, the
tax benefits derived from these operating losses
will materialize.
Note 8 - Leases
As of October 31, 2000, the Company leases 6
offices that are located in California, Colorado,
Rhode Island, Texas, and Florida, under non-
cancelable leases under terms of one year or less.
In addition, as discussed further in Note 6, the
Company assumed leases on copier equipment,
which expire in various years through 2005.
Rental expense charged to operations for the
ten-month period ended October 31, 2000, and
for the year ended December 31, 1999, were
$85,263, and $0, respectively, consisting solely
of minimum rental payments.
Minimum rental commitments under the
noncancelable equipment lease expire as follows:
2001 $ 1,824
2002 $ 1,824
2003 $ 1,824
2004 $ 1,824
2005 $ 1,216
Total minimum lease payments $ 8,512
Note 9 - Segment Information
The Company currently operates in only one
reportable segment, which conducts business
throughout five States. The Company principally
operated during 1999 and during the ten-month
period ended October 31, 2000, in California
where significantly all of the Company's sales
were generated.
The Company receives significantly all of its
inventory from two suppliers. However,
Management believes that there is no shortage of
inventory available from other suppliers and the
Company's operations would not be affected by
the inability of its current providers to meet its
inventory needs.

PART II - INFORMATION NOT
REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Article Six of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation eliminates
the personal liability of the directors to the Company
or its
shareholders for damages for any breach of duty.
Such personal
liability is not eliminated if a judgment or other final
adjudication
adverse to the director establishes that his acts or
omissions were in
bad faith or involved intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation
of law or that he personally gained in fact a financial
profit or other
advantage to which he was not legally entitled or
that he violated
certain provisions of New York law. The provisions
of New York
establish director liability for voting for or
concurring in the
declaration of improper dividends, improper
purchases of the
Company's Common Stock, certain improper
distributions of assets
to shareholders and improper loans.
Article Six of the Company's Bylaws provide that
the Company
will indemnify officers and directors except in
relation to matters as
to which they shall be finally adjudicated to be liable
for
for negligence or misconduct in the performance of
duty.
Indemnification Agreements. We anticipate
entering into
indemnification agreements with each of the
Company's directors
and executive officers pursuant to which we shall
indemnify each
such director and officer for all expenses and
liabilities, including
criminal monetary judgments, penalties and fines,
incurred by each
such director or officer in connection with any
criminal or civil
action brought or threatened against such director or
officer for
being or having been an executive officer or director
of the
Company, to the extent allowed by applicable law
and the charter
documents.
Director and Officer Liability Insurance. At some
time in the
future the Company may obtain director and officer
liability
insurance which could provide coverage against
certain securities
laws violations.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the 1933 Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise,
the Company has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Company of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the
Company in the successful defense of any action,
suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling
person in connection with the securities being
registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1993
Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and
Distribution.
The Company will pay all expenses in connection
with the
registration of the Common Stock and no other
expenses. The
estimated expenses of issuance and distribution are
set forth below.
Registration Fee Approximately
$ 1,237.50
Legal Fees Approximately
$35,000.00
Accounting Fees Approximately
$ 7,000.00
Administrative Expenses Approximately
$ 6,762.50
Total
$50,000.00
Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
During the past 3 years, the Company has only
issued unregistered
securities on one occasion. On November 7, 2000,
the Company
issued 10,012,500 shares of Common Stock for all
of the issued
and outstanding stock of Single Source Electronic
Transactions,
Inc., a Nevada corporation. SSET is seeking to
register 1,125,000
shares of that stock in this Offering. No other stock
has been
issued during the past 3 years.

Re: Opinion Regarding Legality of Common
Stock
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on
Form SB-2 (the
"Registration Statement") to be filed by Single
Source Financial
Services Corporation (formerly Ream Printing Paper
Corp.), a New
York corporation (the "Company"), with the
Securities and
Exchange Commission ("Commission"). It is our
understanding
that the Registration Statement is to be filed in
connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the
"1933 Act"), of shares of common stock ("Common
Stock") to be
sold by the Company and by certain selling
shareholders.
We have examined original or copies, certified or
otherwise
identified to our satisfaction, of such documents,
corporate records
and other instruments as we have deemed necessary
for the
purposes of this opinion. For the purposes of this
opinion, we have
assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us and the
genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all
documents in
connection with which this opinion is rendered, the
authority of
such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto,
and the due
authorization, execution and delivery of all
documents by the
parties thereto.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that: when, as
and if (i) the Registration Statement shall have
become effective
pursuant to the provisions of the 1933 Act, (ii) the
Company or the
selling shareholders shall have received payment in
full for their
Common Stock; (iii) the Common Stock shall have
been issued in
the form and containing the terms described in the
Registration
Statement, and (iv) any legally required consents,
approvals,
authorizations or other orders of the Commission
and any other
regulatory authority shall have been obtained, the
Common Stock,
when sold, will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Form
SB-2 Registration Statement and to the use of our
name under the
heading "Legal Matters" in the Form SB-2
Registration Statement.
We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this
opinion, and
accordingly we do not purport to cover herein, the
application of
the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of the various
states to the sale of
the Common Stock.
This opinion is furnished to you in connection with
the filing of the
Form SB-2 Registration Statement, and is not to be
used,
circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any
other purpose.
Very truly yours,
Lawrence I. Washor

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
4.1 SSET Representations and Warranties. In
order to induce
SSFS to accept this Agreement, SSET, and its
shareholders, and
each of them (hereinafter referred to collectively as
"Sellers"),
hereby represents and warrants to SSFS, as follows:
(a) Opportunity to Investigate. Sellers or their
Investment
Advisor (if any) have been given a full opportunity
to ask questions
of and to receive answers from the officers, agents
and
representatives of SSFS concerning the terms and
conditions of this
Agreement and the business and status of SSFS and
to obtain such
other information that Sellers or their Investment
Advisor (if any)
desires in order to evaluate an investment in SSFS,
and all such
questions have been answered to the full satisfaction
of Sellers.
Sellers acknowledge that Sellers or their Investment
Advisor (if
any) have had access to the same kind of
information concerning
Ream that is required by Schedule A of the
Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, to the extent that SSFS possesses such
information.
(b) Reviewed Merits With Investments Advisor.
Sellers have
reviewed the merits of an investment in SSFS with
tax and legal
counsel and an investment advisor to the extent
deemed advisable
by Sellers.
(c) Acknowledgment of Risks. Sellers
acknowledge and
understand that I) SSFS is in a very competitive
field, and expects
to encounter competition from other companies
which have
substantially more resources and experience, and are
better known,
than SSFS; ii) SSFS's future is dependent upon its
acceptance in the
marketplace, and there can be no assurances that
acceptance will be
achieved; iii) although SSFS cannot accurately
predict its future
operating results, it will incur losses from operations
subsequent to
the date hereof and extending into an indeterminable
time in the
future and there can be no assurances that it will
ever achieve
profitability; iv) the aggregate number of capital
shares sold by
SSFS, from time to time, and the price at which such
shares are
sold, will be determined by the Board of Directors of
SSFS, in its
discretion, giving consideration to the needs of
SSFS to obtain
financing, and there can be no assurance as to the
price(s) for which
SSFS will sell its capital shares in the future and no
assurance can
be given that SSFS will be able to obtain such
financing, on terms
acceptable to Ream, at the time it is required; and v)
in purchasing
the SSFS Shares, Sellers are making a highly
speculative
investment.
(d) Shares Not Registered. Sellers understand
that the SSFS
Shares being acquired by Sellers have not been
registered under the
Act, or the securities laws of any state, in reliance
upon specific
exemptions from registration thereunder, and Sellers
agrees that the
SSFS Shares may not be sold, offered for sale,
transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except
pursuant to a
registration in compliance with the Act and
applicable state
securities laws or pursuant to an exemption from
registration.
(e) No Federal or State Endorsement. Sellers
understand that
no federal or state agency has made any finding or
determination as
to the fairness of an investment in, or any
recommendation or
endorsement of, the SSFS Shares or SSFS.
(f) Additional Financing. Sellers understand that
SSFS will
require additional financing in the future, that SSFS
has no
commitments for such financing at this time and has
no assurances
that it will be able to obtain additional financing, or
if obtained what
price, terms and conditions will be attached to such
financing.
Sellers acknowledge that SSFS presently intends to
issue
substantial shares in several rounds of future
financings and
reorganizations, and that in the course of such
issuances, Sellers'
percentage ownership in SSFS will be substantially
diluted.
(g) Independent Investigation. In making its
decision to
purchase the Ream Shares, Sellers have relied solely
upon
independent investigations made by them or their

representation or
warranty from SSFS or any of its affiliates,
employees or agents or
any of its subsidiaries, employees or agents, except
as set forth
herein.

them, any applicable law, or any judicial order,
decree, or writ.

Securities
solely for their own account as principal, for
investment purposes
only, and except as provided herein, not with a view
to the resale or

Item 28. Undertakings.
A. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the 1933
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public
policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling
person in connection with the securities being
registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has
been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933
Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of
the 1933 Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set
forth in the Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected
in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b)
(Section 230.424(b) of Regulation S-B) if, in the
aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective Registration
Statement; and
(iii) To include any additional or changed
material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in
the Registration Statement or any material change to
such
information in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the
1933 Act, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to
be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
SIGNATURES
In accordance with the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933,
the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable
grounds to believe that
it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form
SB-2 and
authorized this Registration Statement to be signed
on its behalf by
the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Los
Angeles,
California on the 23rd day of January, 2001.
