NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS

OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995


This Annual Report contains historical information as well as forward looking statements. Statements looking forward in time are included in this Annual Report pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results in future periods to be materially different from any future performance suggested herein.  We wish to caution readers that in addition to the important factors described elsewhere in this Form 10-K, the following forward looking statements, among others, sometimes have affected, and in the future could affect, our actual results and could cause our actual consolidated results during 2010 and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf.


Use of Term


Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this report to “Company,” “SNPY,” “we,” “us” and “our” are references to Sino Payments, Inc.  All references to “USD” or United States Dollars refer to the legal currency of the United States of America.

PART I


ITEM 1.

BUSINESS


Corporate History

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 26, 2007 under the name China Soaring Inc. Then on November 26, 2008, we changed the Company's name to Sino Payments, Inc.  We operate as a credit card processing and merchant-acquiring services company that provides credit card clearing services to merchants and financial institutions in China. Since inception, we have made significant steps to develop and further our business plan, including creating our Global Processing Platform (“SinoPay GPP”) and establishing our website, www.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.  


The Company’s objective is to be a provider of IP (Internet Protocol) processing services in Asia to bankcard-accepting merchants. We market our services to local merchants with regional retail locations across Asia Pacific as potential customers of its IP and related credit card and debit card processing systems. We offer interoperability through a highly-efficient infrastructure and exceptional knowledge of the IP processing market through our SinoPay GPP platform.  The SinoPay GPP system facilitates 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. Sino Payments intends to deploy the SinoPay GPP platform throughout Asia with a focus on China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Korea, and Japan.


Current Strategy


The Company’s strategy is 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.  We provide credit and debit card processing services to target companies that maintain regional retail store operations in Asia, such as large department stores, regional supermarket chains, and other retailers with a presence in multiple markets in Asia, and specifically China.  Our focus continues to be on multinational retailers based in China and Hong Kong with later expansion into other Asian markets as we further develop. Development objectives have been selected and an organization for executing those objectives has been put in place.  


Corporate Developments


On January 13, 2010, we signed an agreement with Valitor (the "Valitor Agreement") as an agent to refer European credit and debit card accepting merchants. As a result of the Valitor Agreement, we are now able to market to and sign up both ecommerce and physical store merchants throughout Europe with a single seamless data processing platform.


On January 19, 2010, we signed an agreement with Payvision, one of the leading international payment solutions providers for the card-not-present marketplace, as an agent for the sale of credit and debit card merchant accounts.


On June 4, 2010, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Note (the “Note”) with Moon Gate Limited. Under the terms of the Note, the Company may borrow, from time to time, up to the maximum principal amount of the Note, which is $150,000, for general working capital. The minimum advance under the Note is $1,000 and the interest rate of the Note is 8%. The Note is unsecured and all borrowings plus interest are due on demand.


On September 24, 2010, we executed a Letter of Intent with an existing partner, TAP Group, whereby the parties agreed to form a joint venture company in Hong Kong that will provide regional retailers throughout Asia with card processing services.


Regulatory Requirements


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

Marketing


Our services are promoted by our CEO and President, Mr. Matthew Mecke. He is responsible for providing credit and debit card processing services to retail stores located in Asia. Mr. Mecke and the other directors of the Company bring extensive international and public company experience and have an extensive track record of successful start-ups. Most importantly, the directors are well-known and respected in the IP processing industry throughout the Asia Pacific region.


We 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


  We will generate revenue, if any, from three sources:


1.

Term Fee - By charging a fee for given services;

2.

Fixed Fee - By charging a fixed fee;

3.

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


 

We have developed 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.


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


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

Offices


Our offices are currently located at Unit T25, GF Bangkok Bank Building, 18 Bonham Strand West, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong and our telephone number is (877) 205-6270. 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 devotes approximately 60 hours a week of his time to our operations. We currently have no other employees, other than our officers and directors. We also frequently use third party consultants to assist in the completion of various projects. Third parties are instrumental to keep the development of projects on time and on budget.


Government Regulation


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


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

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.

MARKET FOR THE COMPANY’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES


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

 

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

Reports to Security Holders


We are a reporting company pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.  As such, we provide an annual report to our security holders, which will include audited financial statements, and quarterly reports, which will contain unaudited financial statements.


Record Holders

 

As of August 31, 2010, there were 34 holders of record of our common stock.

 

Dividends

 

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

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

 

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

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

None, other than those set forth in the Form 8-Ks filed during the year ended August 31, 2010, those set forth elsewhere in this Report, and those filed on Form 8-Ks subsequent to August 31, 2010 and through the date of this Report.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections. We may use words such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “foresee,” “estimate” and variations of these words and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward looking statements included in this report are made as of the date of this report and should be evaluated with consideration of any changes occurring after the date of this Report. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Balance Sheet


As at August 31, 2010, the Company had total assets of $10 compared with total assets of $777 as at August 31, 2009.  The decrease in total assets is attributed to use of the cash during the fiscal year as the Company obtained minimal financing from debt and equity to support its day-to-day operations.  


The Company had total liabilities of $186,648 as at August 31, 2010 compared with $93,113 as at August 31, 2009.  The increase in liabilities is attributed to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $95,135 due to the Company’s lack of sufficient cash flow to settle outstanding obligations as they became due, and $10,282 of convertible notes offset by decreases in amounts to related parties of $11,882, which were settled by issuances of common shares during the year.    


During the year ended August 31, 2010, the Company did issue 7,146,575 common shares including 6,314,560 common shares with a fair value of $169,874 in exchange for services, and 832,015 common shares with a fair value of $38,665 to settle outstanding debentures issued by the Company.  Furthermore, the Company cancelled and retired 1,120,000 common shares that were previously issued.  


For the year ended August 31, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of $305,779 compared with $548,174 for the year ended August 31, 2009.  


Operating Revenues


We have not generated any revenues since inception.




8






Operating Expenses


During the year ended August 31, 2010, the Company incurred operating expenses totaling $296,884 compared with $547,983 for the year ended August 31, 2009.  The decrease in operating expenses was attributed to the fact that the Company had $446,270 of stock-based compensation in 2009 compared with only $162,575 in 2010.  Overall, there were no substantial changes in the level or type of operations incurred by the Company for the current year.    


Net Loss


During the year ended August 31, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of $305,779 compared with a net loss of $548,174 for the year ended August 31, 2009.  The decrease in net loss is attributed to lower stock-based compensation expense in 2010 compared to 2009.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As at August 31, 2010, the Company had a cash balance of $10 and a working capital deficit of $186,548 compared with a cash balance of $7 and working capital deficit of $93,106 at August 31, 2009.  The increase in working capital deficit is attributed to the operating expenditures incurred during the year and the lack of sufficient cash financing by the Company to settle the obligations incurred.


Cashflow from Operating Activities


During the year ended August 31, 2010, the Company used $33,019 of cash flow for operating activities compared with $33,101 for the year ended August 31, 2009.  Overall, there were no substantial changes in the level of operations in the current year as compared to prior year.


Cashflow from Investing Activity


During the years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not have any investing activities.

  

Cashflow from Financing Activities


During the year ended August 31, 2010, the Company was provided $33,022 of cash flow from financing sources compared with $27,910 for the year ended August 31, 2009.  The increase in the proceeds from financing activities were mainly attributed to the fact that the Company received $30,535 in cash financing from issuance of promissory notes, which was offset by the fact that the Company received $7,200 of proceeds from comvertible notes in 2009 compared to $nil in the 2010, and also received $18,223 less cash from related parties as compared to prior year.


 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Going Concern

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

 

Future Financings

 

We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.

Critical Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes for the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the valuation of its mineral leases and claims and our ability to obtain final government permission to complete the project.


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In August 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard is effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In October 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the accounting for revenue in arrangements with multiple deliverables including how the arrangement consideration is allocated among delivered and undelivered items of the arrangement. Among the amendments, this standard eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations and requires an entity to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable based on an estimated selling price of each individual deliverable in the arrangement in the absence of having vendor-specific objective evidence or other third party evidence of fair value of the undelivered items. This standard also provides further guidance on how to determine a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement and expands the disclosure requirements about the judgments made in applying the estimated selling price method and how those judgments affect the timing or amount of revenue recognition. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.


In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.


In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 505, Equity, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend.  This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.  


In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis.  This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855) “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU No. 2010-09”). ASU No. 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which the filer had evaluated subsequent events. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In March 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-11 (ASU 2010-11), “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.”  The amendments in this update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this update.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Shareholders, Audit Committee and Board of Directors

Sino Payments Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sino Payments Inc. (a Development Stage Company) as of August 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the year then ended and accumulated from June 26, 2007 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sino Payments Inc. as of August 31, 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods described above, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might reflect these uncertainties.

SINO PAYMENTS, INC.

(formerly China Soaring, Inc.)

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to the Financial Statements

August 31, 2010



1.

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business


Sino Payments Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 26, 2007. The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Entities. The Company’s principal business is to provide credit and debit card processing services to multinational retailers in Asia.


Going Concern


These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and is unlikely to generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at August 31, 2010, the Company has not generated revenues, has a working capital deficit of $186,638 and has accumulated losses totaling $929,115 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


a)

Basis of Presentation


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


b)

Use of Estimates


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


c)

Cash and Cash Equivalents


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

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


d)

Financial Instruments


Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 and 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 and 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1


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


Level 2


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


Level 3


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


The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, and amounts due to related parties.  Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.


e)

Loss Per Share


The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.


f)

Comprehensive Loss


ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at August 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


g)

Foreign Currency Translation


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


h)

Stock-based Compensation


The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.


i)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In August 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard is effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In October 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the accounting for revenue in arrangements with multiple deliverables including how the arrangement consideration is allocated among delivered and undelivered items of the arrangement. Among the amendments, this standard eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations and requires an entity to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable based on an estimated selling price of each individual deliverable in the arrangement in the absence of having vendor-specific objective evidence or other third party evidence of fair value of the undelivered items. This standard also provides further guidance on how to determine a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement and expands the disclosure requirements about the judgments made in applying the estimated selling price method and how those judgments affect the timing or amount of revenue recognition. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.


In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


i)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)


In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 505, Equity, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend.  This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.  


In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis.  This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.


In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855) “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU No. 2010-09”). ASU No. 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which the filer had evaluated subsequent events. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In March 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-11 (ASU 2010-11), “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.”  The amendments in this update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010.  Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this update.  The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Notes Payable


a)

In July 2009, the Company issued $7,200 of convertible promissory notes to a third-party company for services rendered.  Under the terms of the note agreement, the amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing, due on demand, and convertible into common shares of the Company at $0.04 per common share at the discretion of the note holder commencing from the issuance date.  In accordance with ASC 470, Debt – Debt with Conversions and Other Options, the Company determined that the multiple financial instruments issued in the convertible promissory notes resulted in an allocation of the fair value between the convertible note and the share purchase warrants which resulted in a discount on the convertible notes of $3,600 that was recorded against the note payable and a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.  On December 4, 2009, the Company converted the note into common shares.

Please reference the current report on Form 8-K filed on December 23, 2009 for additional information, a copy of which is incorporated by reference herein.


ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of August 31, 2010. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2010, due to the material weaknesses resulting from not having an Audit Committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors and our failure to maintain appropriate cash controls.


Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


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


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


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


A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2010, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:


      

1.     

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



13






 

 

 

2.      

We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of August 31, 2010, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to perform monthly bank reconciliations. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts during the year ended August 31, 2010 and that the Company’s quarterly and year-end financial statements and audit working papers and supporting documents were prepared and reviewed by an independent accounting firm prior to submission to our external auditors, which mitigated the risk of misappropriation of cash.  


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


As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2010 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.


M&K CPAS, PLLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, was not required to and has not issued a report concerning the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2010.


Changes In Internal Control and Financial Reporting


Our management has also evaluated our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of our last evaluation.

 

The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor's attestation report. The Company's registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
