PART I

ITEM 1.      BUSINESS

General

     We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 26, 2007 as China Soaring, Inc. On November 26, 2008, we changed our name to Sino Payments, Inc. We have not started operations. We have completed the website(www.sinopayments.com). We have not generated any revenues and the only operation we have engaged in is the development of a business plan. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89511. Our business office is located at 212-214 Des Voeux Rd., Des Voeux Commercial Building, 12th Fl.,Sheung Wan, Hong Kong and our telephone number is (852) 2544-0733.

     On November 21, 2008, Paul Manning resigned as our president, principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer. Prior to resigning, Mr. Manning appointed Matthew Mecke as our president, principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and as a member of our board of directors. Anthony Robinson was also appointed as a member of our board of directors.

     Our plan of operation is forward looking and there is no assurance that we will ever begin operations. Our prospects for profitability are not favorable if you consider numerous Internet-based companies have failed to achieve profits with similar plans.

     We have not conducted any market research into the likelihood of success of our operations or the acceptance of our products or services by the public.

Our Strategy

     We intend to provide credit and debit card processing services primarily to retail stores located in Asia. Our new CEO & Chairman, Matthew Mecke will be responsible for providing these services.

     As of the date of this filing, we do not have any clientele under contract to the company nor have we commenced with provision of any management/consulting services.

Target Market

     We intend to target companies that maintain regional retail store operations in Asia. We intend to provide credit and debit card processing services to retailers such as large department stores, regional supermarket chains, and other retailers with a presence in multiple markets in Asia to specifically include China.

 

-3-


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

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

Revenue

     Initially, we intend to generate revenue from three sources:

      1.     

Term Fee - By charging a fee for given services;

2.     

Fixed Fee - By charging a fixed fee;

3.     

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

     We intend to develop and maintain a database of all our clients so that we can anticipate various needs and continuously build and expand our advisory services.

     There is no assurance that we will be able to interest any retail store operators in our target market.

     On November 26, 2008, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “Memorandum”) with PowerE2E (“Power”) whereby it was agreed that Power would install a server-hardware and provide technical support in order to operate the server in Hong Kong. We will pay a one time installation fee in the form free trading shares of common stock. The number of shares has not been determined. Our monthly charge will be $15,000.00 and we will receive a referral fee of 30% for referring new business to Power. Further, we have agreed that Power will be our exclusive payment solutions partner.

 

-4-


Competition

     We compete with other software and financial services providers in our target market. We will not be differentiating our self from the foregoing, but merely compete with them. The credit and debit card processing market is a large fragmented market and may be difficult to penetrate. Our competitive position within the industry is negligible in light of the fact that we have not started our operations. Older, well-established card processing firms with records of success currently attract customers. Since we have not started operations, we cannot compete with them on the basis of reputation. We do expect to compete with them on the basis of the range of advisory services and the quality of advisory services that we intend to provide. At this time, our principal method of competition will be through personal contact with potential clients with whom Mr. Mecke has an existing relationship.

     Matthew Mecke, our chief executive officer and director will be devoting approximately 60 hours a week of his time to our operations.

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.

Employees; Identification of Certain Significant Employees

     We are a development stage company and currently have no employees, other than our officers and directors. We intend to hire additional employees on an as needed basis.

Offices

     Our offices are currently located at 212-214 Des Voeux Rd., Des Voeux Commercial Building, 12th Fl.,Sheung Wan, Hong Kong and our telephone number is (852) 2544-0733. This is the rental office that we maintain where we sublet desk space, telephone, office services and space for computer equipment. As of the date of this filing, we have not sought to move or change our office site.

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.

 

-5-


     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 countr y. We are qualified to do business only in Nevada. Our failure to qualify in a jurisdiction where it is required to do so could subject it to taxes and penalties. It could also hamper our ability to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions. The application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws currently apply to our business could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

     Other than the foregoing, we think that no governmental approval is needed for the sale of our services.

 
ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

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

 
ITEM 1B.    UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

     None.

 
ITEM 2.      PROPERTIES

     We do not own any property.

 
ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     We are not presently a party to any litigation.

 
ITEM 4.      SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     During the fourth quarter, there were no matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders.

ITEM 5.      MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

     There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, our common stock. Our Company was approved for trading on OTCBB exchange under the trading symbol CHIJ on October 29, 2008. On December 15, 2008, the closing price of our common stock, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board was $2.20.

     The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low bid prices per share for our common stock, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board for the calendar years indicated. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions and may not represent actual transactions.

Fiscal Year         
2008    High Bid    Low Bid 
            Fourth Quarter: 6/1/08 to 8/31/08  $ 0.00  $ 0.00

            First Quarter: 7/1/06 to 9/30/06  $ 0.00  $ 0.00 

Holders

     As of December 12, 2008, we had approximately 54 shareholders of record of our common stock.

Dividend Policy

     We have not declared any cash dividends. We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather intend on reinvesting earnings, if any, in our business operations.

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

     Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in

-7-


excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market. Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as bid and offer quotes, a dealers spread and broker/dea ler compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

     We have no equity compensation plans and accordingly we have no shares authorized for issuance under an equity compensation plan.

Use of Proceeds

     On November 28, 2007, the SEC declared our Form SB-2 registration statement effective (SEC Filing No. 333-147493), permitting us to sell up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $0.05 per share. There was no underwriter involved in our public offering. On August 1, 2008, we completed our public offering by selling 1,620,000 shares of common stock to 50 individuals and raised $81,000. Since then we have spent the proceeds as follows:

Hiring of Web Development firm and completion of website  $  1,150 
Repayment of loan to Glenn Henricksen  $  35,231 
Administrative expenses  $  15,000 
Hong Kong office setup  $  3,500 
Purchase of Computer Network in Hong Kong  $  1,500 
Total  $  56,381 


ITEM 6.      SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

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


ITEM 7.      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     This section of the report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are

-8-


often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

     We are a start-up stage corporation and have not started operations or generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.

     Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we complete the development of our website, source out purveyors of services for products to sell and source out clients to buy our services. We believe the technical aspects of our website will be sufficiently developed to use for our operations 90 days from the completion of our offering. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We may need to raise more cash to implement our project and begin our operations. We do not know how long money raised in our public offering, wil l last, however, we do believe that we can continue operation for at least twelve months.

     We believe that we have raised enough money through our public offering to begin operations but we cannot guarantee that once we begin operations we will stay in business after operations have commenced. If we are unable to successfully negotiate strategic alliances with purveyors of services to enable us to offer these services to our clients, or if we are unable to attract enough clients to utilize our services, we may quickly use up the proceeds from the minimum amount of money from our public offering and will need to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others in order for us to maintain our operations. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through our public offering.

Plan of Operation

     We believe with the completion of our placement, we can satisfy our cash requirements during the next 12 months. However, at this time, we do not intend on conducting any product research or development. We do not expect to purchase any significant equipment. Further we do not expect significant changes in the number of employees.

     We have completed the public offering and our specific goal is to profitably credit and debit card processing services primarily to retail stores located in Asia. We intend to accomplish the foregoing through the following milestones:

 

 

-9-


1.     

We intend to contact companies through our website and by personal contact through Mr. Mecke our chief executive officer and director. Our website is completed. The website can be seen at www.sinopayments.com The negotiation of additional alliances with service providers and the development of the website will be ongoing during the life of our operations. As more service providers are added and as our customer database expands, we will seek to continually upgrading the website. As additional relationships are created, we intend to create a data basis of clients who we will attempt to interest in new programs. This promotion will ongoing through the life of our operations.

 
2.     

We intend to begin promoting our services through traditional sources such as business publications, letters, emails, flyers and mailers. We also plan on attending credit card processing and related conferences and shows. We intend on promoting our services to retailers to become users of our credit and debit card processing services. Initially we will aggressively court contacts provided by our president, Matthew Mecke. We believe that it will cost a minimum of $12,500 for our marketing campaign and further resources may have to be devoted to become a success. Marketing is an ongoing matter that will continue during the life of our operations.

 
3.     

Within 90 days from the initial launch of our marketing program, we believe that we will begin generating fees from our advisory services.

     In summary, we should implement our business plan and expect to be receiving orders in 2009. We estimate that we will generate revenue 120 to 180 days after beginning operations.

     We believe we will be able to offer credit and debit card processing services to potential clients in early 2009.

     If we are unable to negotiate suitable terms with customers to enable us to provide credit and/or debit card processing services, or if we are unable to attract clients to use our credit and debit card processing services, we may have to suspend or cease operations.

     If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to continue operations, we will suspend or cease operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will do and we do not have any plans to do anything else.

Limited operating history; need for additional capital

     There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in start-up stage operations and have not generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.

     To become profitable and competitive, we have to locate and negotiate agreements with merchants to allow us to provide credit and debit card processing services for fees. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our operations.

 

-10-


     We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Results of operations

From Inception on June 26, 2007 to August 31, 2008

     Since inception, we incorporated the company, hired the attorney, and hired the auditor for the preparation of this report. We have prepared an internal business plan. We have reserved the domain name “www.chinasoaring.com”. Our loss since inception is $75,162, all of which is for the general and administrative expenses. We have not started our proposed business operations and will not do so until we have completed our public offering. We expect to begin operations in early 2009.

     Since inception, we sold 13,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and director and three other persons for $130. On August 1, 2008 we completed our public offering. We sold 1,620,000 shares of common stock to 50 investors raising $81,000.

     We have established our office and are acquiring the equipment we need to begin operations. At this time, we do not intend to hire employees. Matthew Mecke will handle our administrative duties. A detailed breakdown of the cost of operating our office is set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this report.

Liquidity and capital resources

     As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.

     On August 7, 2007 we issued 10,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to Paul F. Manning our former sole officer and director in consideration of $100; 1,040,000 restricted shares of common stock to Bradley Miller in consideration of $10.40; 960,000 restricted shares of common stock to Moon Gate Ltd. in consideration of $9.60; and, 1,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to Greater Asia Capital Ltd. in consideration of $10.00, all pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The foregoing were accounted for as a sales of common stock.

     On August 1, 2008 we completed our public offering a placement to 50 shareholders for 1,620,000 shares in consideration of $81,000.

     As of August 31, 2008, our total assets were $5,968 and our total liabilities were $0. As of August 31, 2008, we had cash of $5,198.

Recent accounting pronouncements

     In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An amendment of ARB No. 51”.SFAS 160 requires companies with noncontrolling interests to disclose such interests clearly as a portion of equity but separate from the parent’s equity. The noncontrolling interest’s portion of net income must also be clearly presented on the Income Statement. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.

     In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141,(revised 2007), “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141 (R) applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations established in SFAS 141 to all acquisitions where the acquirer gains a controlling interest, regardless of whether consideration was exchanged. Consistent with SFAS 141, SFAS 141 (R) requires the acquirer to fair value the assets and liabilities of the acquiree and record goodwill on bargain purchases, with main difference the application to all acquisitions where control is achieved. SFAS 141 (R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.

     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Sino Payments, Inc.
(formerly China Soaring, Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
Sheung Wan, Hong Kong

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

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sino Payments, Inc., as of August 31, 2008 and August 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods described in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Sino Payments, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Sino Payments, Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Sino Payments, Inc. 
(formerly China Soaring, Inc.)

Notes to the Financial Statements 
  

1.     

Description of Business

 
 

Sino Payments, Inc. (formerly China Soaring, Inc.) (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on June 26, 2007; their fiscal year end is August 31. Sino Payments is a Development Stage Company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 7 Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. Sino Payments is currently seeking funding in order to begin operations to provide credit and debit card processing services to multinational retailers in Asia.

 
 

The principal business of Sino Payments is credit and debit card processing services in Asia.

 
2. 

Going Concern

 
 

The Company is a development stage company. In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to developing a market for its products and services. Planned principal activities have not begun so, therefore, the Company has not generated revenues to date. The Company had a net loss of $64,592 and negative cash flows from operations of $65,466 for the year ended August 31, 2008. From inception June 26, 2007 to August 31, 2008, the company has incurred a net loss of $75,162 and has experienced negative cash flows from operations of $75,932. The company had stockholder’s equity of $5,968 and had a working capital of $5,968 at August 31, 2008. The nominal amount of resources available to the company raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern

 
 

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional capital. Management’s plans to increase resources to the company include raising additional equity and/or debt financing from outside investors and receiving financial support from directors and officers. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 
3.     

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists of the sale of products and is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product is shipped or services are rendered, and collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company receives revenue consisting of commissions on all sales made through the Company’s website. The commission revenue is recognized in the period the sales have occurred.

Notes to the Financial Statements 
  

Management Fees – Related Party

In both years ending August 31, 2007 and 2008, the Company did not incur any management fees nor paid a salary to the CEO and Director, Paul Manning. Paul Manning did receive remuneration under a consulting contract in the amount of $1,437 for the period January 11, 2008 to July 10, 2008.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are presented in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Statement 128, and are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. They include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net income. Basic and diluted loss per share is the same due to the absence of common stock equivalents.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties and common stock to be issued for consulting services approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.

Income Taxes

Sino Payments recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. Sino Payments provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

Accounting Pronouncements

Sino Payments does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on their results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

4.      Related Party Transactions

As of August 31, 2008, the Company does not owe any compensation or debts to any related party.

In January 2008, the Company signed consulting agreements with Paul Manning the CEO and Director for the period January 11, 2008 to July 10, 2008. The compensation for this period for Mr. Manning was $1,437. There are no plans to enter into any further consulting agreements with Mr. Manning at this time.

On August 14, 2008, the Company settled Henrickson Notes to related parties in the amount of $35,231.

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

     There have been no disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures from the inception of our company through the date of this Form 10-K. Our financial statements for the period from inception to August 31, 2008, included in this report have been audited by Malone & Bailey, PC, as set forth in this annual report.

 
ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and proced ures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control

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

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

     Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors 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. Because of 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. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the indivi dual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.

-22-


     The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

CEO and CFO Certifications

     Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     This annual report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

     We not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.

     As of the date hereof, we have not entered into employment contracts with any of our officers and do not intend to enter into any employment contracts until such time as it profitable to do so.

Indemnification

     Under our Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

     Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the

Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Conclusion

1. STATEMENT OF POLICY

     The Company has adopted eight Corporate Values (Focus, Respect, Excellence, Accountability, Teamwork, Integrity, Very Open Communications and Enjoying Our Work) to provide a framework for all employees in conducting ourselves in our jobs. These policies are not intended to substitute for those Values, but will serve as guidelines in helping you to conduct the Company's business in accordance with our Values. Compliance requires meeting the spirit, as well as the literal meaning, of the law, the policies and the Values. It is expected that you will use common sense, good judgment, high ethical standards and integrity in all your business dealings.

     If you encounter a situation you are not able to resolve by reference to these policies, ask for help. Contact Matthew Mecke, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as responsible for overseeing compliance with these policies.

     Violations of the law or the Company's policies will subject employees to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. In addition, individuals involved may subject themselves and the Company to severe penalties including fines and possible imprisonment. Compliance with the law and high ethical standards in the conduct of Company business should be a top priority for each employee, officer and director.

2. IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT.

     Matthew Mecke, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has been appointed as Compliance Officer of the Company, responsible for overseeing compliance with, and enforcement of, all Company policies.

1


     Employees are expected to be familiar with these policies as they apply to their duties. They should consult with their managers if they need assistance in understanding or interpreting these policies. Each employee is required to follow these policies and to comply with their terms. A refusal by any employee to agree to be bound by these policies shall be grounds for discipline up to and including dismissal.

     Any employee who, in good faith, has reason to believe a Company operation or activity is in violation of the law or of these policies must call the matter to the attention of Matthew Mecke, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. All reports will be reviewed and investigated and as necessary under the circumstances, and the reporting employee should provide sufficient information to enable a complete investigation to be undertaken.

     Any employee who makes an allegation in good faith reasonably believing that a person has violated these policies or the law, will be protected against retaliation.

3. RELATIONS WITH COMPETITORS AND OTHER THIRD PARTIES.

     The Company's policy is to comply fully with competition and antitrust laws throughout the world. These laws generally prohibit companies from using illegal means to maintain, obtain or attempt to obtain a monopoly in a market. They also prohibit companies from engaging in unfair trade practices. "Unfair trade practices" include fixing prices, dividing markets, agreeing with competitors not to compete, or agreeing to boycott certain customers. It is advised that you consult with Matthew Mecke before attending a meeting with a party who may be viewed as a competitor.

4. INSIDER TRADING, SECURITIES COMPLIANCE AND PUBLIC STATEMENTS.

     Securities laws prohibit anyone who is in possession of material, non-public information ("Insider Information") about a company from purchasing or selling stock of that company, or communicating the information to others. Information is considered "material" if a reasonable investor would consider it to be important in making a decision to buy or sell that stock. Some examples include financial results and projections, new products, acquisitions, major new contracts or alliances prior to the time that they are publicly announced. Employees who become aware of such Inside Information about the Company must refrain from trading in the shares of the Company until the Inside Information is publicly announced.

     Employees must also refrain from disclosing that information to persons who do not have a Company need to know, whether they are inside the Company or outside, such as spouses, relatives or friends.

     The Company makes regular formal disclosures of its financial performance and results of operations to the investment community. We also regularly issue press releases. Other than those public statements, which go through official Company channels, employees are prohibited from communicating outside the Company about the Company's business, financial performance or future prospects. Such communications include questions from securities analysts, reporters or other news media, but also include seemingly innocent discussions with family, friends, neighbors or acquaintances.

 

2


5. FINANCIAL REPORTING.

     The Company is required to maintain a variety of records for purposes of reporting to the government. The Company requires all employees to maintain full compliance with applicable laws and regulations requiring that its books of account and records be accurately maintained. Specifics of these requirements are available from Matthew Mecke.

6. HUMAN RESOURCES.

     The Company is committed to providing a work environment that is free from unlawful harassment and discrimination, and respects the dignity of its employees. The Company has policies covering various aspects of its relationship with its employees, as well as employees’ relationships with each other. For more detailed information, you should consult Matthew Mecke. Each employee is expected to be familiar with these policies and to abide by them.

7. ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY.

     The Company is committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees, as well as the environment in general. The Company expects employees to obey all laws and regulations designed to protect the environment, and the health and safety of our employees, and to obtain and fully observe all permits necessary to do business.

     At the very least, all employees should be familiar with and comply with safety regulations applicable to their work areas. The Company will make, to the extent possible, reasonable accommodations for the known physical or mental limitations of our employees. Employees who require an accommodation should contact Matthew Mecke. The Company will then engage in an interactive process to determine what reasonable accommodations may exist.

8. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

     Each employee is expected to avoid any activity, investment or association that interferes with the independent exercise of his or her judgment in the Company's best interests ("Conflicts of Interest"). Conflicts of Interest can arise in many situations. They occur most often in cases where the employee or the employee's family obtains some personal benefit at the expense of the Company's best interests.

     No employee, or any member of employee's immediate family, shall accept money, gifts of other than nominal value, unusual entertainment, loans, or any other preferential treatment from any customer or supplier of the Company where any obligation may be incurred or implied on the giver or the receiver or where the intent is to prejudice the recipient in favor of the provider. Likewise, no employee shall give money, gifts of other than nominal value, unusual entertainment or preferential treatment to any customer or supplier of the Company, or any employee or family members thereof, where any obligation might be incurred or implied, or where the intent is to prejudice the recipient in favor of the Company. No such persons shall solicit or accept kickbacks, whether in the form of money, goods, services or otherwise, as a means of influencing or rewarding any decision or action taken by a foreign or domestic ve ndor, customer, business partner, government employee or other person whose position may affect the Company's business.

 

3


     No employee shall use Company property, services, equipment or business for personal gain or benefit.

     Employees may not: (1) act on behalf of, or own a substantial interest in, any company or firm that does business, or competes, with the Company; (2) conduct business on behalf of the Company with any company or firm in which the employee or a family member has a substantial interest or affiliation. Exceptions require advance written approval from the Legal Department.

     Employees should not create the appearance that they are personally benefitting in any outside endeavor as a result of their employment by the Company, or that the Company is benefitting by reason of their outside interests. Any employee who is not sure whether a proposed action would present a conflict of interest or appear unethical should consult with Matthew Mecke.

9. INTERNATIONAL TRADE.

     The Company must comply with a variety of laws around the world regarding its activities. In some cases, the law prohibits the disclosure of information, whether the disclosure occurs within the U.S. or elsewhere, and whether or not the disclosure is in writing.

     Payments or gifts to non-U.S. government officials are prohibited by law and by Company policy. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act precludes payments to non-U.S. government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, even if the payment is customary in that country. This law applies anywhere in the world to U.S. citizens, nationals, residents, businesses or employees of U.S. businesses. Because Sino Payments, Inc. is a U.S. company, this law applies to the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Any questions on this policy should be directed to Matthew Mecke.

10. GOVERNMENT RELATIONS.

     The Company is prohibited by law from making any contributions or expenditures in connection with any U.S. national election. This includes virtually any activity that furnishes something of value to an election campaign for a federal office. Use of the Company's name in supporting any political position or ballot measure, or in seeking the assistance of any elected representative, requires the specific approval of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Political contributions or expenditures are not to be made out of Company funds in any foreign country, even if permitted by local law, without the consent of the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

     U.S. law also prohibits giving, offering, or promising anything of value to any public official in the U.S. or any foreign country to influence any official act, or to cause an official to commit or omit any act in violation of his or her lawful duty. Company employees are expected to comply with these laws.

11. VENDORS, CONTRACTORS, CONSULTANTS AND TEMPORARY WORKERS.

     Vendors, contractors, consultants or temporary workers who are acting on the Company's behalf, or on Company property, are expected to follow the law, Company policies and honor Company Values. Violations will subject the person or firm to sanctions up to and including loss of the contract, contracting or consulting agreement, or discharge from temporary assignment.

12. CONCLUSION.

     This Code of Ethics is not intended to cover every possible situation in which you may find yourself. It is meant to give you the boundaries within which the Company expects you to conduct yourself while representing Sino Payments, Inc.. You may find yourself in a situation where there is no clear guidance given by this Code of Ethics. If that occurs, return to the foundations stated earlier: common sense, good judgment, high ethical standards and integrity. And refer to the Company's Values. In addition, there are many resources upon which you may rely: your management chain, Human Resources, Legal or other Sino Payments, Inc. departments, and the CEO. Together we can continue to make Sino Payments, Inc. a company that sets a standard for mining exploration.
