COMPANY HISTORY
AmeriWorks Financial Services, Inc. (“AWKS”) is a public Company traded in the OTC Market with the symbol AWKS. AWKS is a New Jersey Corporation, and is the surviving company in a merger on December 16, 2010 between American DebtWorks, Inc. a private Delaware Corporation and AWKS. The Company’s mission statement is to develop its DOT.chek system using a driver license to pay for goods and services at the point of sale and prevent fraud; market and sell its StaBILLity Payment Solutions program; market POS-University, an on-line training site and; build and expand its collection division.
COMPANY BUSINESS SUMMARY
AWKS has four important business divisions:
(i) DOT.chek Driver License Payment & ID System - a patent pending system to minimize consumer check fraud at the point of sale and allow payment using the driver license or State ID card to initiate a DOT-Chek transaction or virtual check. The system will eliminate the use of paper checks and requires consumers to pre-register in a data base and provide banking information that is linked to their driver license number.
(ii) StaBILLity™ Payment Solutions - www.stabilitypay.com and www.ezfinanceuse.com - This is a proprietary e-payment program for professional and non-professional businesses allowing consumers who have no credit or cash to pay for retail purchases by normal credit acceptance standards, the opportunity to establish a bankable relationship with participating Providers. This is accomplished through the consumer’s application and the calculation of up to 211 lifestyle parameters, generating a Client Profile and a recommended maximum alternative credit limit. StaBILLity™ was designed to target the approximately 70,000,000 Americans who are currently non-bankable and can be offered by participating doctors, hospitals, dentists, veterinarians and retail business establishments. The program is timely and is expected to be introduced on December 1, 2011.
(iii) POS University - www.cashiertraining.biz - This is a proprietary, on-line, point of sale training course for corporate employees and/or individuals seeking to be certified in counterfeit money, bad checks, and other point of sale techniques. AWKS developed and launched this cashier training site in March, 2011 consisting of ten chapters and a final exam. The training site was developed as a result of the Company’s collection experience with bad checks. The lack of legible and complete information on returned check items is a direct result of inadequate training of point of sale personnel. The Company plans to increase the marketing of this program in 2012.
(iv) Basic Collections - Through a propreitary software developed internally by the Company called DebtMaster, and a colection methodology developed by the Company over 7 years to collect consumer debt through a managed payment plan, the Company currently collects debt for 195 client companies including Shop Rite, NAPA Auto Parts, IGA Supermarkets, A&A Auto and many other well known companies.

NEW BOARD ASSUMES CONTROL OF U.S. SHANGHAI CHEMICAL CORPORATION
Mar 18, 2010
OTC Disclosure & News Service
Sciota, PA -
New Board Gains Control of U.S. Shanghai Chemical Corporation
After two years, U.S. Board legally recovers the books and records
of U.S. Shanghai Chemical Corporation from Chinese Principals!
Sciota, PA - March 17, 2009 -- In August, 2004 U.S. Shanghai Chemical Corporation, a New Jersey corporation formerly known as Axxexs Capital, Inc. was acquired by a Chinese chemical company in a reverse merger. Principals of the Chinese company were elected to the Board of Directors at that time. In April, 2005, it was disclosed that these same principals were arrested in China for violations of the Chinese Foreign Currency Act. Since then, the company has been without a management team or Board of Directors.
Under New Jersey corporate law, any shareholder of any New Jersey corporation that has lost its management team or Board of Directors due to unforeseen circumstances may call a Special Meeting of the Shareholders to elect a new Board. In August, 2007, a Special Meeting of the Shareholders was convened and a new Board of Directors
was elected. The shareholders instructed the Board of Directors to reacquire all the books and records of the Company and bring all filings current.
"We are now charged with bringing current all the regulatory filings, financial statements and tax returns before we even think about the future", said Louis Perosi, Jr. Chairman of the Board.
In November, 2007 the new Board filed suit in Superior Court in the State of New Jersey to reacquire the books and records from the Chinese principals and/or the transfer agent. The Board followed the protocol described in the Hague Convention and provided certified Chinese translations of all English documents to the principals in China. After two years of litigation and negotiation, the new U.S. Board successfully re-acquired the books and records of the company. "We are now in the process of bringing all the filings of the Company current including those required by the
Securities & Exchange Commission and State Regulators. We are also preparing all back tax returns and
financial statements", said Louis perosi, Jr. President and Chairman of the Board.
U.S. Shanghai Chemical Corporation ("USCJ"), trades in the NQB-Pink Sheets. The stock can be seen at www.pinksheets.com. Enter the symbol USCJ and click "GO". The recent price of the stock as of the date of this release was $0.10 per share.
"We can't speak about the future of USCJ until we clean up the past. We will, however, continue to keep the shareholders updated regarding our progress and our intentions. At this time, a purchase of the stock would be highly speculative and can only be based on the anticipated future acts of the Board", said Perosi.
For more information please contact Mr. Louis Perosi, Jr., Chairman of the Board at 1-888-282-2802 or write to the Company at U.S. Shanghai Chemical Corporation, P.O. Box 207. Sciota, PA 18360.

American DebtWorks, Inc.
U.S. Shanghai Chemical Corporation News Release
U.S. Shanghai Chemical Corporation Announces
Reverse Merger Agreement with
American DebtWorks, Inc.
Sciota, Pennsylvania – August 16, 2010 – U.S. Shanghai Chemical Corporation (“USCJ”), a United States company incorporated in the State of New Jersey and trading in the NQB Pink Sheets at www.quote.com, symbol USCJ, announced today that it has signed a “Plan and Agreement of Reverse Merger” with American DebtWorks, Inc. (“ADW”), One Linden Court, P.O. Box 187, Sciota, PA 18354. ADW will be the surviving company after the reverse merger.
ADW is a financial services company with five separate business operations.
· The basic business of the Company is check and other forms of debt collections. The Company has operated as such for eight years.
· In addition, ADW has developed an anti-fraud identification system at a point of sale using a consumer’s driver license. The driver license is also linked to the consumer’s bank account and can be used to pay for goods and services instead of writing a paper check.
· SoftBill is a billing program that allows a professional, medical practitioner, veterinarian, and other retail businesses to offer an extended payment program that is managed by ADW. The program allows the business professional to use on-line software to establish an electronic payment plan, plus interest, with a consumer.
· ADW has also developed an on-line training site for cashiers and other corporate employees to learn about counterfeit money and bad checks. The site automatically certifies the student after taking a final exam. The training program can be customized for an employer.
· A subsidiary of ADW, Casino Acceptance Corporation, has developed a concept for Charitable Donation Machines, (“CDM”). The CDM is a specialty kiosk that will be placed in casinos for the collection of vouchers, tokens, cash or player credits. Players holding penny vouchers may especially be interested in donating those pennies to charity before leaving the casino. The CDM can also be placed in outside locations like malls, arenas, airports and theme parks. The Company believes this business could be franchised.
A Closing Date of September 15, 2010 has been set for completion of the reverse merger between the companies. After the Closing there will be 18,331,901 shares issued and outstanding with 4,390,403 shares of common stock in the public float and 13,941,498 restricted.

AmeriWorks Announces Formation of Chairty Raods, Inc.
Jun 23, 2011
OTC Disclosure & News Service
Sciota, PA -
AmeriWorks Financial Services, Inc. Announces
Formation of Charity Roads, Inc.
Sciota, PA – June 23, 2011 – AmeriWorks Financial Services, Inc., (symbol “AWKS”), a Sciota, PA based financial services company, announced today that it has formed a new subsidiary called Charity Roads, Inc., (“CRI”) of which it owns 81%. CRI was formed to develop a kiosk that will be placed in casinos to collect penny vouchers, tokens, player card credits and cash from players. This same kiosk, specifically designed to accept only credit, debit and specialty cards can also be located at airports, malls, sports arenas, resorts, boardwalks and theme parks.
Every casino in America uses paper vouchers printed out from slot machines when a player presses "cash out". The paper voucher is electronically accounted for by the casino’s accounting system and uniquely bar coded for the casino. Vouchers from one casino cannot be redeemed by another casino. When a paper voucher is reduced to pennies, that voucher is referred to as a “broken voucher”; a voucher that has a value of less than the average slot machine bet, typically $0.20. Prior to leaving a casino a player usually discards a broken voucher. Most casino players will not attempt to redeem a broken voucher because redemption machines are not conveniently placed throughout a casino and it may not be worth the player’s time to redeem a voucher for pennies.
AWKS through its new subsidiary, CRI, proposes to develop a kiosk designed to collect charitable donations inside a casino as well as other locations where people spend money and recreate such as resort, theme parks, airports, shopping malls and sports arenas to name a few. The kiosk in casino locations will accept donations of paper vouchers, player card credits, tokens and cash. These donations will be accepted by the kiosk, electronically accounted for and electronically presented to the casino where they will be redeemed and transferred electronically by the casino to the charity and CRI. The casino will retain 20% of the collected donations, CRI will retain 20% of the collected donations and the charity represented will receive 60% of the collected donations. CRI will provide maintenance of the kiosks under contract with the casino. Kiosks placed in other locations will be maintained by CRI and the donation amounts will be split 60/40 with the charity represented with 60% going to the charity.
Each kiosk will have two screens. A top screen for advertisement and infomercials showing how to use the kiosk and what charity the funds will be donated to and a bottom screen similar to an ATM that will allow a person to enter information to complete a transaction and obtain a charitable receipt. In a casino environment, a player would walk up to the kiosk, insert a voucher, cash, tokens or a player card into a reader and the kiosk will automatically scan the amount of the donation. Once the donation is made, a message on the touch screen would ask “Do you want a receipt?” If the player does not want a receipt, the player simply touches "done" or “no” on the screen and walks away. If the player does want a receipt, the player touches yes on the screen and must enter some personal information for basic record keeping such as name, address and telephone number before a receipt will print out. If the donation is in cash, a record is made of the donation. The time of day and the donation amount is stored by the kiosk software and this information is also sent to the casino. In other locations such as theme parks, resorts, boardwalks, airports and sports arenas, the kiosk would work the same except it will only accept credit, debit and specialty cards.
CRI is raising funds privately to build two demonstration models of the kiosk and an interactive web site where vouchers can be donated on-line, something that has never been done before. The website will also accept standard donations from debit and credit cards as well as non-standard donations of tangible items such as cars, boats, etc. CRI has filed a provisional patent on the concept with the United States Patent Office, EFSID 7785963 and Application Number 61353318. The Company is planning to introduce the concept in Pennsylvania first and then expand the idea into other states with legalized gambling, starting with New Jersey.
The results of operations from CRI will be shown in the consolidated financial statements of AWKS. For more information regarding this press release or for additional information on the subject discussed herein please contact Louis Perosi, Jr., President of AWKS and CRI at 1-888-282-2802 or via email at smallstock@verizon.net.

Cashier Course Introduction:
Cashier Course Introduction
Cashiering is a profession as old as any other. In the King James Version of the Bible, Matthew, Chapter 21, verse 12, it says, “And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves.” The moneychangers mentioned in this verse are early cashiers. Even in those days, being a cashier or “moneychanger” was an ongoing business. Going back to ancient Egypt, in the Old Testament, when the land was plagued by drought, the tribes of Israel came into Egypt to buy grain under the auspices of Joseph. They approached tables that were set up for this purpose and paid for their grain purchases. Here again is another early example of a money changer or early cashier. Throughout ancient history there has always been an exchange of goods and services for value and there has always been some form of cashiering.
A cashier in the 21st century is a key member of the retail team and is often the first one to greet and welcome a customer to the store, as well the last person who thanks the customer for shopping there. Even if the customer comes in and doesn’t buy anything, the cashier usually says “Thanks for coming”. Cashiers are often the first to be targeted by management if a customer is dissatisfied. Given the importance of these critical interactions, cashiers need excellent training in communications and problem resolution.
Cash Register Training
This course is designed to train a cashier to complete transactions with all accepted forms of payment. The cashier should also be able to complete a transaction using multiple forms of payment, for example when a customer wants to use more than one credit card for his/her purchase. The cashier needs to be well versed in the store’s return and exchange policies and be able to perform these transactions quickly and efficiently. While speed and efficiency are important in performing the role of a cashier, he/she needs to be trained to never sacrifice accuracy for speed.
Conflict and Problem Solving
Being confronted by an angry or disgruntled customer is a difficult and challenging situation, but it is also an opportunity for the store and the cashier to turn an ugly situation into a winning situation with the customer feeling they would return to the store to shop again. Since the cashier is the most likely person to first be approached by such a customer, it is important that he/she is prepared with the right training to effectively handle the situation. The cashier needs to be trained to express compassion for the disgruntled customer and her situation. The cashier needs to be trained to provide a solution that will interdict the situation to the satisfaction of the customer.
Basic Sales Training
The customer is essentially a captive audience at the point of sale. During the closing transaction at the point of sale, the cashier has an opportunity to attempt add on sales suggesting merchandise that might be right at the counter. Many companies have add-on sales at the register and instruct the cashier to ask the customer about purchasing these items. Our students will learn to have confidence after completing the Cashiering Course offered by POS University and will be able to offer the add-on sale items to customers without hesitation. In addition, most stores have rewards cards or store credit cards and as part of their training, a cashier should ask the customer about opening a store credit card or if they have a rewards card as part of the check-out process.

Crowd funding per Wikipedia:
Crowd funding or crowdfunding (alternately crowd financing, equity crowdfunding, or hyper funding) describes the collective effort of individuals who network and pool their resources, usually via the Internet, to support efforts initiated by other people or organizations.[1] Crowd funding is used in support of a wide variety of activities, including disaster relief, citizen journalism, support of artists by fans, political campaigns, startup company funding,[2] movie[3] or free software development, and scientific research.[4]
Crowd funding can also refer to the funding of a company by selling small amounts of equity to many investors. This form of crowd funding has recently received attention from policymakers in the United States with direct mention in the JOBS Act; legislation that allows for a wider pool of small investors with fewer restrictions. The Act was signed into law by President Obama on April 5, 2012. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been given approximately 270 days to set forth specific rules and guidelines that enact this legislation, while also ensuring the protection of investors.[5]
Pros and cons
Proponents of the crowd funding approach argue that it allows good ideas which do not fit the pattern required by conventional financiers to break through and attract cash through the wisdom of the crowd. If it does achieve "traction" in this way, not only can the enterprise secure seed funding to begin its project, but it may also secure evidence of backing from potential customers and benefit from word of mouth promotion.[citation needed]
While this does not usually apply to artists and charitable organizations, a disadvantage for business is the requirement to disclose the idea for which funding is sought in public when it is at a very early stage. This exposes the promoter of the idea to the risk of the idea being copied and developed ahead of them by better-financed competitors.[citation needed]. For crowdfunding of equity stock purchases, there is some research in social psychology that indicates that, like in all investments, people don't always do their due diligence to determine if it's a sound investment before investing, which leads to making investments decisions based on emotion rather than financial logic. [35]
Crowdfunding draws a crowd, investors and other interested observers who follow the progress, or lack of progress, of a project. Sometimes it proves easier to raise the money for a project than to make the project a success. Managing communications with a large number of possibly disappointed investors and supporters can be a substantial, and potentially diverting, task.[36]
Material Item #6 October 9th PR:
The exchange website will also allow private companies a platform to post private stock prices for their shareholders; publish blogs, corporate information, press releases and; find links to other security professionals and on-line brokers.
Material Item #5 October 9th PR:

Material Item #4 October 9th PR:
The SmallStock Exchange will provide free membership to investors allowing members to review all security offerings posted on the exchange website and participate in any offering or crowd funding through a uniform policy to be established by SSTK, including the escrow of funds through approved escrow agents and the protection of investor participation in small offerings by the use of approved subscription agreements. Business securities offerings will be posted for an exchange fee.
Material Item #3 from October 9th PR:
SSTK plans to preview the SmallStock Exchange to the public by January 15, 2013 and register with the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a funding portal.
Material Item #2 from October 9th PR:

AmerWorks Enters Crowd Funding Arena
AmeriWorks Financial Services, Inc. Announced Today the
Acquisition of 35% of SmallStock Capital, Inc. and its
Entry into Crowd Funding under the new JOBS Act Initiatives.
For Immediate Release
Sciota, Pennsylvania – October 9, 2012 – AmeriWorks Financial Services, Inc. (symbol “AWKS”) announced today that it has acquired a 35% interest in SmallStock Capital, Inc. (“SSTK”). SSTK is a private investment banking company offering financial consulting services to private and public companies in all forms of corporate governance, capital structures and the development of private placements and other securities related services. In addition, SSTK is currently developing a new web site called the SmallStock Exchange where private placements under the expanded Regulation 506 rules of the new JOBS Act along with a crowd funding platform will allow small US businesses to offer their securities to the public. SSTK plans to preview the SmallStock Exchange to the public by January 15, 2013 and register with the Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a funding portal.

Business securities offerings will be posted for an exchange fee.
“SmallStock Capital first provided financial consulting services in 1995 as an affiliate of First Summit Securities, Inc., an NASD broker/dealer,” stated Louis Perosi, Jr., President of AWKS. “In addition, the concept of an Internet based URL to offer and sell private placements was first filed with the SEC by SSTK in 1996 under the proposed name the SmallStock Journal. The 1996 filing was based on the relaxed rules governing private placements under Rule 504 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However, when the SEC reversed its rulings on Rule 504 in 1997, SSTK withdrew its application at that time,” said Perosi. The JOBS Act provides a new window of opportunity for SSTK to use its previous experience to launch the SmallStock Exchange in compliance with all SEC regulations and certain self-regulated policies. The exchange website will also allow private companies a platform to post private stock prices for their shareholders; publish blogs, corporate information, press releases and; find links to other security professionals and on-line brokers.
