Vesta International, Corp. is a development stage company and has recently
started its operation. To date we have been involved primarily in organizational
activities. We do not have sufficient capital for operations. Any investment in
the shares offered herein involves a high degree of risk. You should only
purchase shares if you can afford a loss of your investment. Our independent
registered public accountant has issued an audit opinion for Vesta
International, Corp. which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as
to our ability to continue as a going concern.
There has been no market for our securities and a public market may never
develop, or, if any market does develop, it may not be sustained. Our common
stock is not traded on any exchange or on the over-the-counter market. After the
effective date of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, we
hope to have a market maker file an application with the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") for our common stock to be eligible for trading
on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation, issuers
must remain current in their quarterly and annual filings with the SEC. If we
are not able to pay the expenses associated with our reporting obligations we
will not be able to apply for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. We do not yet
have a market maker who has agreed to file such application. There can be no
assurance that our common stock will ever be quoted on a stock exchange or a
quotation service or that any market for our stock will develop.
Any funds received as a part of this offering will not be returned and will be
immediately deposited into the company's bank account. This account is under the
control of the Company and only Yan Wang, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer and President, will have the power to authorize a release of
funds from this account. We have not made any arrangements to place funds in an
escrow, trust or similar account, as Nevada law does not require that funds
raised pursuant to the sale of securities be placed into an escrow account. By
placing the proceeds of this offering in a separate bank account controlled by
the Company, the proceeds will be immediately available to us for general
business purposes as well as to continue our business and operations. If we fail
to raise enough capital to commence operations investors may lose their entire
investment and will not be entitled to a refund.
We are an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
AS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES, "WE," "US,"
"OUR," AND "VESTA INTERNATIONAL, CORP." REFERS TO VESTA INTERNATIONAL, CORP. THE
FOLLOWING SUMMARY DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE IMPORTANT
TO YOU. YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT
DECISION TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK.
VESTA INTERNATIONAL, CORP.
We are a development stage company and intend to commence operations in the
distribution of ceramic sanitary ware. Vesta International, Corp. was
incorporated in Nevada on May 11, 2011. We intend to use the net proceeds from
this offering to develop our business operations (See "Description of Business"
and "Use of Proceeds"). To implement our plan of operations we require a minimum
of $30,000 for the next twelve months as described in our Plan of Operations. We
expect our operations to begin to generate revenues during months 6-12 after
completion of this offering. However, there is no assurance that we will
generate any revenue in the first 12 months after completion our offering or
ever generate any revenue.
Being a development stage company, we have very limited operating history. After
twelve months period we may need additional financing. If we do not generate any
revenue we may need a minimum of $10,000 of additional funding to pay for
ongoing SEC filing requirements. We do not currently have any arrangements for
additional financing. Our principal executive offices are located at 56-26
Chongshan Middle Rd, 1-5-1, Huanggu, Shenyang, Liaoning, China, 110031. Our
phone number is 86-15940503507.
From inception until the date of this filing, we have had limited operating
activities. Our financial statements from inception (May 11, 2011) through March
31, 2013, reports no revenues and a net loss of $322. Our independent registered
public accounting firm has issued an audit opinion for Vesta International,
Corp. which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability
to continue as a going concern. To date, we have developed our business plan and
entered into a Contract with our supplier, TANGSHAN MONOPY CERAMIC CO., LTD.,
dated April 16, 2013. As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public
trading market for our common stock and no assurance that a trading market for
our securities will ever develop. The company is publicly offering its shares to
raise funds in order for our business to develop its operations and increase its
likelihood of commercial success.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this
prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks
occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock, when and if we trade at
a later date, could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or
part of your investment.
RISKS ASSOCIATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE ARE SOLELY DEPENDENT UPON THE FUNDS TO BE RAISED IN THIS OFFERING TO START
OUR BUSINESS, THE PROCEEDS OF WHICH MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO ACHIEVE REVENUES AND
PROFITABLE OPERATIONS. WE MAY NEED TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH MAY NOT
BE AVAILABLE.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete our intended
operations in the distribution of ceramic sanitary ware. We need the proceeds
from this offering to start our operations as described in the "Plan of
Operation" section of this prospectus. As of March 31, 2013, we had cash in the
amount of $10,053 and liabilities of $375. As of this date, we have no income
and just recently started our operation. The proceeds of this offering may not
be sufficient for us to achieve revenues and profitable operations. We may need
additional funds to achieve a sustainable sales level where ongoing operations
can be funded out of revenues. There is no assurance that any additional
financing will be available or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to
us.
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY AND HAVE COMMENCED LIMITED OPERATIONS IN OUR
BUSINESS. WE EXPECT TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT OPERATING LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE.
We were incorporated on May 11, 2011 and to date have been involved primarily in
organizational activities. We have commenced limited business operations.
Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be
successful. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally
encountered by new companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises.
The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the
operations that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are
not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to the ability to generate
sufficient cash flow to operate our business, and additional costs and expenses
that may exceed current estimates. We anticipate that we will incur increased
operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We expect to incur
significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if the
effectiveness of our business plan is not forthcoming, we will not be able to
continue business operations. There is no history upon which to base any
assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is
doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable
operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will
most likely fail.
WE HAVE YET TO EARN REVENUE AND OUR ABILITY TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS IS
DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO RAISE FINANCING. OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTANT HAS EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A
GOING CONCERN.
We have accrued net losses of $322 for the period from our inception on May 11,
2011 to March 31, 2013, and have no revenues as of this date. Our future is
5
dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable
operations in the distribution of ceramic sanitary ware. Further, the finances
required to fully develop our plan cannot be predicted with any certainty and
may exceed any estimates we set forth. These factors raise substantial doubt
that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Cutler & Co., LLC our
independent registered public accounting firm, has expressed substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. This opinion could materially
limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity
securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital when needed, we
will not be able to complete our business plan. As a result we may have to
liquidate our business and you may lose your investment. You should consider our
independent registered public accountant's comments when determining if an
investment in Vesta International, Corp. is suitable.
We require minimum funding of approximately $30,000 to conduct our proposed
operations for a period of one year. If we are not able to raise this amount, or
if we experience a shortage of funds prior to funding we may utilize funds from
Yan Wang, our sole officer and director, who has informally agreed to advance
funds to allow us to pay for professional fees, including fees payable in
connection with the filing of this registration statement and operation
expenses. However, Ms. Wang has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal
obligation to advance or loan funds to the company. After one year we may need
additional financing. If we do not generate any revenue we may need a minimum of
$10,000 of additional funding to pay for ongoing SEC filing requirements. We do
not currently have any arrangements for additional financing.
If we are successful in raising the funds from this offering, we plan to
commence activities to continue our operations. We cannot provide investors with
any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds to continue our
business plan according to our plan of operations.
WE FACE STRONG COMPETITION FROM LARGER AND WELL ESTABLISHED COMPANIES, WHICH
COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS AND ABILITY TO OPERATE PROFITABLY.
Our industry is competitive. There are many different ceramic sanitary ware
distributors. Even though the industry is highly fragmented, it has a number of
large and well established companies, which are profitable and have developed a
brand name. Aggressive marketing tactics implemented by our competitors could
impact our limited financial resources and adversely affect our ability to
compete in our market.
IF WE DO NOT ATTRACT CUSTOMERS, WE WILL NOT MAKE A PROFIT, WHICH ULTIMATELY WILL
RESULT IN A CESSATION OF OPERATIONS.
We currently have no customers. We have not identified any customers and we
cannot guarantee we ever will have any customers. Even if we obtain customers,
there is no guarantee that we will generate a profit. If we cannot generate a
profit, we will have to suspend or cease operations. You are likely to lose your
entire investment if we cannot sell ceramic sanitary ware at prices which
generate a profit.
BECAUSE WE ARE SMALL AND DO NOT HAVE MUCH CAPITAL, OUR MARKETING CAMPAIGN MAY
NOT BE ENOUGH TO ATTRACT SUFFICIENT CLIENTS TO OPERATE PROFITABLY. IF WE DO NOT
MAKE A PROFIT, WE WILL SUSPEND OR CEASE OPERATIONS.
Due to the fact we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our
marketing activities and may not be able to make our products known to potential
customers. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be
able to attract enough customers to operate profitably. If we cannot operate
profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
6
OUR SALES AND PROFITABILITY DEPEND SIGNIFICANTLY ON NEW RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION
AND HOME IMPROVEMENT ACTIVITY.
Our sales depend heavily on the strength of residential construction and home
improvement and remodeling markets. The strength of these markets depends on new
housing starts and residential renovation projects, which are a function of many
factors beyond our control. Some of these factors include employment levels, job
and household formation, interest rates, housing prices, tax policy,
availability of mortgage financing, prices of commodity wood products, regional
demographics and consumer confidence. Future downturns in the markets that we
serve or in the economy generally could have a material adverse effect on our
operating results and financial condition. Reduced levels of construction
activity may result in intense price competition among sanitary ware suppliers,
which may adversely affect our gross margins.
BECAUSE WE WILL EXPORT OUR PRODUCTS FROM CHINA, A DISRUPTION IN THE DELIVERY OF
EXPORTED PRODUCTS MAY HAVE A GREATER EFFECT ON US THAN ON OUR COMPETITORS.
We will export our product from China. Because we plan to purchase our products
in China and have them shipped to the locations of our customers, we believe
that disruptions in shipping deliveries may have a greater effect on us than on
competitors who manufacture and/or warehouse products in the destination
countries. Deliveries of our products may be disrupted through factors such as:
(1) raw material shortages, work stoppages, strikes and political unrest;
(2) problems with ocean shipping, including work stoppages and shipping
container shortages;
(3) increased inspections of import shipments or other factors causing
delays in shipments; and
(4) economic crises, international disputes and wars.
Most of our competitors warehouse products they import from overseas, which
allows them to continue delivering their products for the near term, despite
overseas shipping disruptions. If our competitors are able to deliver products
when we cannot, our reputation may be damaged and we may lose customers to our
competitors.
OUR OPERATIONS AND ASSETS IN CHINA ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT POLITICAL AND
ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES.
Government policies are subject to rapid change and the government of the China
may adopt policies which have the effect of hindering private economic activity
and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance that the government
of China will not significantly alter its policies from time to time without
notice in a manner with reduces or eliminates any benefits from its present
policies of economic reform. In addition, a substantial portion of productive
assets in China remains government-owned. For instance, all lands are state
owned and business entities or individuals are granted by government state-owned
land use rights. The granting process is typically based on government policies
at the time of granting, which could be lengthy and complex. This process may
adversely affect our business. The government of China also exercises
significant control over China's economic growth through the allocation of
resources, controlling payment of foreign currency and providing preferential
treatment to particular industries or companies. Uncertainties may arise with
changing of governmental policies and measures. In addition, changes in laws and
regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory
taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply,
7
devaluations of currency, the nationalization or other expropriation of private
enterprises, as well as adverse changes in the political, economic or social
conditions in China, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
BECAUSE CHINESE LAW GOVERNS ALMOST ALL OF OUR MATERIAL AGREEMENTS, WE MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO ENFORCE OUR LEGAL RIGHTS WITHIN CHINA OR ELSEWHERE, WHICH COULD RESULT
IN A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF BUSINESS, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, OR CAPITAL.
We have a supply agreement with Tangshan Monopy Ceramic Co., Ltd., a Chinese
company. We cannot assure you that we will be able to enforce this agreement or
any of our material agreements that we may enter into or that remedies will be
available outside of China. The system of laws and the enforcement of existing
laws in China may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in
the United States. The Chinese judiciary is relatively inexperienced in
enforcing corporate and commercial law, leading to a higher than usual degree of
uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. The inability to enforce or
obtain a remedy under any of our agreements could result in a significant loss
of business, business opportunities or capital.
IMPOSITION OF TRADE BARRIERS AND TAXES MAY REDUCE OUR ABILITY TO DO BUSINESS
INTERNATIONALLY, AND THE RESULTING LOSS OF REVENUE COULD HARM OUR PROFITABILITY.
We may experience barriers to conducting business and trade in our targeted
emerging markets in the form of delayed customs clearances, customs duties and
tariffs. In addition, we may be subject to repatriation taxes levied upon the
exchange of income from local currency into foreign currency, substantial taxes
of profits, revenues, assets and payroll, as well as value-added tax. The
markets in which we plan to operate may impose onerous and unpredictable duties,
tariffs and taxes on our business and products, and there can be no assurance
that this will not reduce the level of sales that we achieve in such markets,
which would reduce our revenues and profits.
BECAUSE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR HAS NO EXPERIENCE IN OUR INTENDED
OPERATIONS OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF CERAMIC SANITARY WARE, OUR BUSINESS HAS A HIGH
RISK OF FAILURE.
Our sole officers and director has no professional training or experience in the
distribution of ceramic sanitary ware. Ms. Wang's lack of experience will hinder
our ability to start selling our ceramic sanitary ware and earn revenue.
Consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success may suffer
irreparable harm as a result.
ALL OF OUR PRODUCT PURCHASES WILL BE MADE FROM ONE SUPPLIER. IF THAT SUPPLIER
DECREASES OR TERMINATES ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH US OUR BUSINESS WOULD LIKELY FAIL
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO FIND A SUBSTITUTE FOR THAT COMPANY.
As a result of being totally dependent on a single wholesale supplier located in
China, we may be subject to certain risks, including changes in regulatory
requirements, tariffs and other barriers, increased pressure, timing and
availability of export licenses, the burden of complying with a variety of
foreign laws and treaties, and uncertainties relative to regional, political and
economic circumstances. We purchase our products from TANGSHAN MONOPY CERAMIC
CO., LTD. Our agreement with this company does not prevent it from supplying its
ceramic sanitary ware to our competitors or directly to consumers. The Contract
has no minimum term, and TANGSHAN MONOPY CERAMIC CO., LTD. may terminate the
8
Contract at any time. If this company decreases, modifies or terminates its
association with us for any other reason, we would suffer an interruption in our
business unless and until we found a substitute for that supplier. If we were
unable to find a substitute for that supplier, our business would likely fail.
We cannot predict what the likelihood would be of finding an acceptable
substitute supplier.
BECAUSE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR WILL OWN 50% OR MORE OF OUR OUTSTANDING
COMMON STOCK, SHE WILL MAKE AND CONTROL CORPORATE DECISIONS THAT MAY BE
DISADVANTAGEOUS TO MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS.
Ms. Wang, our sole officer and director, will own 50 % or more of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, she will have significant
influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other
matters, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations and the
sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or
cause a change in control. The interests of Ms. Wang may differ from the
interests of the other stockholders and may result in corporate decisions that
are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
BECAUSE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR WILL ONLY BE DEVOTING LIMITED TIME TO OUR
OPERATIONS, OUR OPERATIONS MAY BE SPORADIC WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERIODIC
INTERRUPTIONS OR SUSPENSIONS OF OPERATIONS. THIS ACTIVITY COULD PREVENT US FROM
ATTRACTING ENOUGH CUSTOMERS AND RESULT IN A LACK OF REVENUES WHICH MAY CAUSE US
TO CEASE OPERATIONS.
Yan Wang, our sole officer and director will only be devoting limited time to
our operations. She will be devoting approximately 20 hours a week to our
operations. Because our sole office and director will only be devoting limited
time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which
are convenient to her. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted
or suspended which could result in a lack of revenues and a possible cessation
of operations.
ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING WE ARRANGE THROUGH THE SALE OF OUR COMMON STOCK WILL
RESULT IN DILUTION TO EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.
We must raise additional capital in order for our business plan to succeed. Our
most likely source of additional capital will be through the sale of additional
shares of common stock. Such stock issuances will cause stockholders' interests
in our company to be diluted. Such dilution will negatively affect the value of
an investor's shares.
OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR HAS NO EXPERIENCE MANAGING A PUBLIC COMPANY WHICH
IS REQUIRED TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN DISCLOSURE CONTROL AND PROCEDURES AND
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
We have never operated as a public company. Yan Wang, our sole officer and
director has no experience managing a public company which is required to
establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control
over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to operate
successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan
to comply with all of the various rules and regulations, which are required for
a public company that is reporting company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your
investment may be materially adversely affected.
9
AS AN "EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY" UNDER THE JOBS ACT, WE ARE PERMITTED TO RELY ON
EXEMPTIONS FROM CERTAIN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS.
We qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act. As a result, we
are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure
requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be
required to:
- have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial
reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
- provide an auditor attestation with respect to management's report on
the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;
- comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or
a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information
about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor
discussion and analysis);
- submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory
votes, such as "say-on-pay" and "say-on-frequency;" and
- disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the
correlation between executive compensation and performance and
comparisons of the Chief Executive's compensation to median employee
compensation.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth
company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section
7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting
standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of
certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to
private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this
extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be
comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting
standards.
We will remain an "emerging growth company" for up to five years, or until the
earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual
gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a "large
accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held
by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most
recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have
issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three
year period. Even if we no longer qualify for the exemptions for an emerging
growth company, we may still be, in certain circumstances, subject to scaled
disclosure requirements as a smaller reporting company. For example, smaller
reporting companies, like emerging growth companies, are not required to provide
a compensation discussion and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K or
auditor attestation of internal controls over financial reporting.
Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our common
stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors
find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active
trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING
OUR PRESIDENT, MS. WANG DOES NOT HAVE ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE OFFRERING AND SELLING
SECURITIES, AND OUR OFFERING DOES NOT REQUIRE A MIMIMUM AMOUNT TO BE RAISED. AS
A RESULT OF THIS WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE ENOUGH FUNDS TO COMMENCE AND
SUSTAIN OUR BUSINESS AND INVESTORS MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
10
Ms. Wang does not have any experience conducting a securities offering.
Consequently, we may not be able to raise any funds successfully. Also, the best
effort offering does not require a minimum amount to be raised. If we are not
able to raise sufficient funds, we may not be able to fund our operations as
planned, and our business will suffer and your investment may be materially
adversely affected. Our inability to successfully conduct a best-effort offering
could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.
BECAUSE THE OFFERING PRICE HAS BEEN ARBITRARILY SET BY THE COMPANY, YOU MAY NOT
REALIZE A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT UPON RESALE OF YOUR SHARES.
The offering price and other terms and conditions relative to the Company's
shares have been arbitrarily determined by us and do not bear any relationship
to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value.
Additionally, as the Company was formed on May 11, 2011 and has only a limited
operating history and no earnings, the price of the offered shares is not based
on its past earnings and no investment banker, appraiser or other independent
third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or
the fairness of the offering price used for the shares, as such our stockholders
may not be able to receive a return on their investment when they sell their
shares of common stock.
WE ARE SELLING THIS OFFERING WITHOUT AN UNDERWRITER AND MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL
ANY SHARES.
This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the
services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell our shares
through our President, who will receive no commissions. There is no guarantee
that she will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless she is successful in
selling at least 30% of the shares and we receive the proceeds in the amount of
$30,000 from this offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to
implement our business plan.
THE TRADING IN OUR SHARES WILL BE REGULATED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION RULE 15G-9 WHICH ESTABLISHED THE DEFINITION OF A "PENNY STOCK."
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and rules of the
Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose
additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell
our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are,
generally, institutions with assets in excess of $10,000,000 or individuals with
net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 ($300,000
jointly with spouse), or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer.
For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker dealer must make
certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual
sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to
be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver
certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock
rules may make it difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at
all.
DUE TO THE LACK OF A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY
SELLING ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.
We are not registered on any market or public stock exchange. There is presently
no demand for our common stock and no public market exists for the shares being
11
offered in this prospectus. We plan to contact a market maker immediately
following the completion of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on
the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB"). The OTCBB is a regulated
quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume
information in over-the-counter securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing
service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing
requirements, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain
current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. If we
are not able to pay the expenses associated with our reporting obligations we
will not be able to apply for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. Market makers
are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet
this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become
delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 to 60 day
grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. We
cannot guarantee that our application will be accepted or approved and our stock
listed and quoted for sale. As of the date of this filing, there have been no
discussions or understandings between Vesta International, Corp. and anyone
acting on our behalf, with any market maker regarding participation in a future
trading market for our securities. If no market is ever developed for our common
stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this
offering. In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any
benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable
delay, if at all. In addition, if we fail to have our common stock quoted on a
public trading market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and
it may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in
an inability to realize any value from your investment.
WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE.
WITHOUT REVENUE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT
FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES, IF AT ALL.
The estimated cost of this registration statement is $8,000. We will have to
utilize funds from Yan Wang, our sole officer and director, who has verbally
agreed to loan the company funds to complete the registration process. After the
effective date of this prospectus, we will be required to file annual, quarterly
and current reports, or other information with the SEC as provided by the
Securities Exchange Act. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following
the close of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation, issuers must remain
current in their filings with the SEC. In order for us to remain in compliance
we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could
comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. The costs
associated with being a publicly traded company in the next 12 month will be
approximately $10,000. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to
remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may
purchase, if at all. Also, if we are not able to pay the expenses associated
with our reporting obligations we will not be able to apply for quotation on the
OTC Bulletin Board.
WE MAY BE EXPOSED TO POTENTIAL RISKS AND SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES RESULTING FROM THE
REQUIREMENTS UNDER SECTION 404 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002.
We will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting. We expect to incur significant
continuing costs, including accounting fees and staffing costs, in order to
maintain compliance with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002. Development of our business will necessitate ongoing changes to our
internal control systems, processes and information systems. If our business
develops and grows, our current design for internal control over financial
12
reporting will not be sufficient to enable management to determine that our
internal controls are effective for any period, or on an ongoing basis.
Accordingly, as we develop our business, such development and growth will
necessitate changes to our internal control systems, processes and information
systems, all of which will require additional costs and expenses.
In the future, if we fail to complete the annual Section 404 evaluation in a
timely manner, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public
confidence in our internal controls. In addition, any failure to implement
required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their
implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our
reporting obligations. However, as an "emerging growth company," as defined in
the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be
required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be
filed with the SEC, or the date we are no longer an emerging growth company. At
such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report
that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our
controls are documented, designed or operating.
BECAUSE WE ARE NOT SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH RULES REQUIRING THE ADOPTION OF
CERTAIN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, OUR SHAREHOLDERS HAVE LIMITED PROTECTIONS
AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR
MATTERS.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by
the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market,
as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures
relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the
integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to
securities which are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate
governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial
additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than necessary, we
have not yet adopted these measures.
Because none of our directors are independent, we do not currently have
independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, the director has the
ability, among other things, to determine her own level of compensation. Until
we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such
compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance
may leave our shareholders without protections against interested director
transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be
reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and
uncertainties. We use words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "expect",
"future", "intend", and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking
statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements
contained within this filing are good faith estimates of management as of the
date of this filing. Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the
risks faced by us as described in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in
this prospectus.
13
USE OF PROCEEDS
Our offering is being made on a self-underwritten and "best-efforts" basis: no
minimum number of shares must be sold in order for the offering to proceed. The
offering price per share is $0.01. The following table sets forth the uses of
proceeds assuming the sale of 50%, 75% and 100%, respectively, of the securities
offered for sale by the Company. We reserve the right to change the use of
proceeds, provided that such reservation is due to certain contingencies that
are discussed specifically and the alternatives to such use in that event are
indicated in an amended prospectus reflecting the same. There is no assurance
that we will raise the full $100,000 as anticipated.
GROSS PROCEEDS $50,000 $75,000 $100,000
Offering expenses $ 8,000 $ 8,000 $ 8,000
NET PROCEEDS $42,000 $67,000 $ 92,000
Establishing an office $ 1,500 $ 2,000 $ 3,000
Website development $ 3,000 $ 3,500 $ 5,000
Sales person salary $12,000 $24,000 $ 36,000
Marketing and advertising $14,500 $25,000 $ 34,000
SEC reporting and compliance $10,000 $10,000 $ 10,000
Miscellaneous expenses $ 1,000 $ 2,500 $ 4,000
The above figures represent only estimated costs. If necessary, Yan Wang, our
president and director, has verbally agreed to loan the Company funds to
complete the registration process. Also, these loans would be necessary if the
proceeds from this offering will not be sufficient to implement our business
plan and maintain reporting status and quotation on the OTC Electronic Bulletin
Board when and if our common stocks become eligible for trading on the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. Ms. Wang will not be paid any compensation or
anything from the proceeds of this offering. There is no due date for the
repayment of the funds advanced by Ms. Wang. Ms. Wang will be repaid from
revenues of operations if and when we generate revenues to pay the obligation.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us. The
price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or
other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining
the number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into
consideration our cash on hand and the amount of money we would need to
implement our business plan. Accordingly, the offering price should not be
considered an indication of the actual value of the securities.
DILUTION
The price of the current offering is fixed at $0.01 per share. This price is
significantly higher than the price paid by the Company's officer for common
equity since the Company's inception on May 11, 2011. Yan Wang, the Company's
sole officer and director, paid $.001 per share for the 10,000,000 shares of
common stock she purchased from the Company on March 19, 2013.
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net
tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net
tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total
liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a
result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being
offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of
the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. The
14
following tables compare the differences of your investment in our shares with
the investment of our existing stockholders.
As of March 31, 2013, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock
was $9,678 or approximately $0.001 per share based upon 10,000,000 shares
outstanding.
IF 100% OF THE SHARES ARE SOLD:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the
net tangible book value of the 20,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be
$101,678 or approximately $0.0051 per share. The net tangible book value per
share prior to the offering is $0.001. The net tangible book value of the shares
held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0041 per share without
any additional investment on their part. Investors in the offering will incur an
immediate dilution from $0.01 per share to $0.0051 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 10,000,000 shares are sold, investors in
the offering will own 50% of the total number of shares then outstanding for
which they will have made cash investment of $100,000, or $0.01 per share. Our
existing stockholder will own 50% of the total number of shares then
outstanding, for which she has made contributions of cash totalling $10,000.00
or $0.001 per share.
IF 75% OF THE SHARES ARE SOLD
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 7,500,000 shares are sold, the
net tangible book value of the 17,500,000 shares to be outstanding will be
$76,678, or approximately $0.0044 per share. The net tangible book value per
share prior to the offering is $0,001. The net tangible book value of the shares
held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0034 per share without
any additional investment on their part. Investors in the offering will incur an
immediate dilution from $0.01 per share to $0.0044 per share.
After completion of this offering investors in the offering will own
approximately 42.86% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which
they will have made cash investment of $75,000, or $0.01 per share. Our existing
stockholder will own approximately 57.14% of the total number of shares then
outstanding, for which she has made contributions of cash totaling $10,000 or
$0.001 per share.
IF 50% OF THE SHARES ARE SOLD
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 5,000,000 shares are sold, the
net tangible book value of the 15,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be
$51,678 or approximately $0.0034 per share. The net tangible book value per
share prior to the offering is $0.001. The net tangible book value of the shares
held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0024 per share without
any additional investment on their part. Investors in the offering will incur an
immediate dilution from $0.01 per share to $0.0034 per share.
After completion of this offering investors in the offering will own
approximately 33.33% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which
they will have made cash investment of $50,000, or $0.01 per share. Our existing
stockholder will own approximately 66.67% of the total number of shares then
outstanding, for which she has made contributions of cash totaling $10,000 or
$0.001 per share.
The following table compares the differences of your investment in our shares
with the investment of our existing stockholders.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements
and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this
prospectus. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or
set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, including information with respect to
our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should
review the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus for a discussion of
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in
the following discussion and analysis.
We qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act. As a result, we
are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure
requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be
required to:
* have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial
reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
* provide an auditor attestation with respect to management's report on
the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting;
* comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or
a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information
about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor
discussion and analysis);
* submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory
votes, such as "say-on-pay" and "say-on-frequency;" and
* disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the
correlation between executive compensation and performance and
comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation.
17
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth
company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section
7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting
standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of
certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to
private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this
extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be
comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting
standards.
We will remain an "emerging growth company" for up to five years, or until the
earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual
gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a "large
accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held
by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most
recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have
issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three
year period. Even if we no longer qualify for the exemptions for an emerging
growth company, we may still be, in certain circumstances, subject to scaled
disclosure requirements as a smaller reporting company. For example, smaller
reporting companies, like emerging growth companies, are not required to provide
a compensation discussion and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K or
auditor attestation of internal controls over financial reporting.
Our cash balance is $10,053 as of March 31, 2013. We believe our cash balance is
not sufficient to fund our operations for any period of time. We have been
utilizing and may utilize funds from Yan Wang, our Chairman and President, who
has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for offering costs,
filing fees, and professional fees. As of March 31, 2013, Ms. Wang advanced us
$375. Ms. Wang, however, has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal
obligation to advance or loan funds to the company. In order to implement our
plan of operations for the next twelve month period, we require a minimum of
$30,000 of funding from this offering. Being a development stage company, we
have very limited operating history. After twelve months period we may need
additional financing. We do not currently have any arrangements for additional
financing. Our principal executive offices are located at 56-26 Chongshan Middle
Rd, 1-5-1, Huanggu, Shenyang, Liaoning, China, 110031. Our phone number is
86-15940503507.
We are a development stage company and have generated no revenue to date. Our
full business plan entails activities described in the Plan of Operation section
below. Long term financing beyond the maximum aggregate amount of this offering
may be required to expand our business. The exact amount of funding will depend
on the scale of our development and expansion. Our expansion may include
expanding our office facilities, hiring sales personnel and entering into
agreements with new clients. We do not currently have planned our expansion, and
we have not decided yet on the scale of our development and expansion and on
exact amount of funding needed for our long term financing. If we do not
generate any revenue we may need a minimum of $10,000 of additional funding at
the end of the twelve month period described in our "Plan of Operation" below to
maintain a reporting status.
Our independent registered public accountant has issued a going concern opinion.
This means that 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 revenues and no revenues are
anticipated until we complete our initial business development. There is no
assurance we will ever reach that stage.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering.
We believe that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to
continue our proposed operations but we cannot guarantee that once we continue
operations we will stay in business after doing so. If we are unable to
18
successfully find customers we may quickly use up the proceeds from this
offering and will need to find alternative sources. At the present time, we have
not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this
offering.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend
operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Even if we
raise $100,000 from this offering, it will last one year, but we may need more
funds for business operations in the next year, and we will have to revert to
obtaining additional money.
PLAN OF OPERATION
After the effectiveness of our registration statement by the Securities and
Exchange Commissions, we intend to concentrate our efforts on raising capital.
During this period, our operations will be limited due to the limited amount of
funds on hand. Upon completion of our public offering, our specific goal is to
profitably sell our ceramic sanitary ware. Our plan of operations following the
completion is as follows:
ESTABLISH OUR OFFICE
TIME FRAME: 1ST - 3RD MONTHS.
MATERIAL COSTS: $1,500 - $3,000.
Upon completion of the offering we plan to set up an office in China and acquire
the necessary equipment to continue operations. We plan to purchase office
equipment such as computer, telephones, fax, office supplies and furniture. Our
sole officer and director, Yan Wang will take care of our initial administrative
duties. We believe that it will cost at least $1,500 to set up office and obtain
the necessary equipment and stationery to continue operations. If we sell 75% of
the shares offered we will buy better equipment with advanced features that will
cost us approximately $500 more. In this case, set up costs will be
approximately $2,000. In the event we sell all of the shares offered we will buy
additional and more advanced equipment that will help us in everyday operations;
therefore the office set up cots will be approximately $3,000.
DEVELOP OUR WEBSITE
TIME FRAME: 4TH - 6TH MONTHS.
MATERIAL COSTS: $3,000 - $5,000.
During this period, we intend to begin developing our website. Our sole officer
and director, Yan Wang will be in charge of registering our web domain. As of
the date of this prospectus we have not yet identified or registered any domain
names for our website. Once we register our web domain, we plan to hire a web
designer to help us with the design and develop our website. We do not have any
written agreements with any web designers at current time. The website
development costs, including site design and implementation will be
approximately $3,000. If we sell 75% of the shares offered and all of the shares
offered we will develop more sophisticated and well designed web site, therefore
developing cost will be $3,500 and $5,000 accordingly. Updating and improving
our website will continue throughout the lifetime of our operations.
MARKETING
TIME FRAME: 6TH - 12TH MONTHS.
MATERIAL COSTS: $14,500 - $34,000.
Once our website is operational, we will begin to market our product. We will
develop our client base by focusing our marketing efforts on larger more
globally known distribution chain stores. The large retailer stores sell a
higher assortment of sanitary ware products, have a higher budget for in-stock
19
inventory and tend to purchase a larger and more diverse inventory. We plan to
attend various sanitary ware shows where we can promote our product and meet
potential clients. By late 2014 we plan to expand our selection of ceramic
sanitary ware by marketing to small and medium size distributors of sanitary
engineering products. Any relationship we arrange with retailers for the
wholesale distribution of our ceramic sanitary ware will be non-exclusive. We
will compete with other distributors and manufactures for positioning of our
products in retail space. Our methods of communication will include: phone
calls, email, and regular mail. We will continue our marketing efforts during
the life of our operations.
If we do not raise at least $30,000 in this offering, we must limit our
marketing activities and may not be able to make our product known to potential
customers. Because we will be limiting our marketing activities, we may not be
able to attract enough customers to operate profitably. If we cannot operate
profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
NEGOTIATE AGREEMENTS WITH POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS
TIME FRAME: 6TH - 12TH MONTHS.
NO MATERIAL COSTS.
When our website is operational, we plan to contact and start negotiation with
potential customers. We plan to enter into distribution and supply agreements
with contractors and homebuilders, chain and retail stores and other
distributors of sanitary engineering products. We will negotiate terms and
conditions of collaboration. We also intend to study the European and North
American sanitary ware and building material market. At the beginning, we plan
to focus primarily on larger chain stores that sell various types of building
materials, specialized home restoration stores and distributors that are
responsible for marketing and selling ceramic sanitary ware. Then we plan to
expand our target market to contactors, homebuilder, developers and sanitary
ware installers. This activity will be ongoing throughout our operations.
Even if we are able to obtain sufficient number of agreements at the end of the
twelve month period, there is no guarantee that we will be able to attract and
more importantly retain enough customers to justify our expenditures. If we are
unable to generate a significant amount of revenue and to successfully protect
ourselves against those risks, then it would materially affect our financial
condition and our business could be harmed.
HIRE A SALES PERSON
TIME FRAME: 6TH - 12TH MONTHS.
MATERIAL COSTS: $12,000 - $36,000.
If we sell at least 50% of shares in this offering, we intend to hire one
salesperson with good knowledge and connections in the sanitary ware
distribution and construction industry to introduce our product. The
salesperson's job would be to find new potential purchasers, introduce our
products and to set up agreements with them to buy our ceramic sanitary ware. If
we sell 75% and 100% shares in this offering we intend to hire 2 and 3 sales
persons respectively. The negotiation of additional agreements with potential
customers will be ongoing during the life of our operations.
In summary, during 1st-6th month we should have established our office and
developed our website. After this point we should be ready to start more
significant operations and start selling our products. During months 6-12 we
will be developing our marketing campaign. There is no assurance that we will
generate any revenue in the first 12 months after completion our offering or
ever generate any revenue.
Yan Wang, our president will be devoting approximately twenty hours per week to
our operations. Once we expand operations, and are able to attract more and more
customers to buy our products, Ms. Wang has agreed to commit more time as
20
required. Because Ms. Wang will only be devoting limited time to our operations,
our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to her.
As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or suspended which could
result in a lack of revenues and a cessation of operations

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.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
There is no 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.
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 shareholder.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FROM INCEPTION ON MAY 11, 2011 TO MARCH 31, 2013
During the period we incorporated the company, prepared a business plan and
executed a Contract with our supplier, TANGSHAN MONOPY CERAMIC CO., LTD., dated
April 16, 2013. Our loss since inception is $322. We have not meaningfully
commenced our proposed business operations and will not do so until we have
completed this offering.
Since inception, we have sold 10,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole
officer and director for net proceeds of $10,000.
21
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $10,053 cash and our liabilities were
$375, comprising $375 owed to Yan Wang, our sole officer and director. The
available capital reserves of the Company are not sufficient for the Company to
remain operational.
We are attempting to raise funds to proceed with our plan of operation. We will
have to utilize funds from Yan Wang, our sole officer and director, who has
verbally agreed to loan the company funds to complete the registration process.
However, Ms. Wang has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to
advance or loan funds to the company. To proceed with our operations within 12
months, we need a minimum of $30,000.We cannot guarantee that we will be able to
sell all the shares required to satisfy our 12 months financial requirement. If
we are successful, any money raised will be applied to the items set forth in
the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. We will attempt to raise at
least the minimum funds necessary to proceed with our plan of operation. In a
long term we may need additional financing. We do not currently have any
arrangements for additional financing. Obtaining additional funding will be
subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions, investor
acceptance of our business plan and initial results from our business
operations. These factors may impact the timing, amount, terms or conditions of
additional financing available to us. There is no assurance that any additional
financing will be available or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to
us.
Our auditors have issued a "going concern" opinion, meaning that there is
substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve
months unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues are
anticipated until we have completed the financing from this offering and
implemented our plan of operations. Our only source for cash at this time is
investments by others in this offering. We must raise cash to implement our
strategy and stay in business. The amount of the offering will likely allow us
to operate for at least one year and have the capital resources required to
cover the material costs with becoming a publicly reporting. The company
anticipates over the next 12 months the cost of being a reporting public company
will be approximately $10,000.
Should the Company fail to sell less than 30% of its shares under this offering
the Company would be forced to scale back or abort completely the implementation
of its 12-month plan of operation.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
Vesta International, Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 11,
2011 and established a fiscal year end of March 31. We do not have revenues,
have minimal assets and have incurred losses since inception. We are a
development-stage company formed to commence operations in the distribution of
ceramic sanitary ware. We have recently started our operation. As of today, we
have developed our business plan, and executed a Contract with our supplier,
TANGSHAN MONOPY CERAMIC CO., LTD., dated April 16, 2013. The contract with
Tangshan Monopy Ceramic Co., Ltd. expires on December 31, 2014. We maintain our
statutory registered agent's office at 2360 Corporate Circle, Suite 400,
Henderson, Nevada 89074. Our business office is located at 56-26 Chongshan
Middle Rd, 1-5-1, Huanggu, Shenyang, Liaoning, China, 110031. Our telephone
number is 86-15940503507.
We plan to market and distribute an assortment of ceramic sanitary ware in the
European and North American market. Our products will be offered at prices
marked-up from 20% to 25% of our cost. Our customers will be asked to pay us
100% in advance.
22
We plan to fill placed orders and to supply the products within a period of
forty days (40) days or less following receipt of any written order. We do not
intend to offer any credit terms relating to order payments. Our customers will
be asked to pay us 100% in advance. Customers will have two options to pay for
products: by wire transfer or by sending a check/money order. If customer
decides to pay by check/money order, then we will apply a certain amount of days
before shipping to have the check/money order cleared. Customers will be
responsible to cover the shipping costs. Since we anticipate having a 30-day
period to process/fill orders, we do not plan to purchase inventory in advance,
but rather on request basis. We do not intend to store inventory for any period
of time. The orders will be shipped to the customers upon customers' requests.
Customers will be responsible for the custom duties, taxes, insurance or any
other additional charges that might incur.
PRODUCT
We plan to distribute ceramic sanitary ware such as toilets (including wall hung
toilets), bidets, washbasin (including wall hung basins), sinks, urinals,
squatting pans and counter basins. Some of our ceramic sanitary ware is designed
in series (made and designed in the same style). We also intend to offer our
ceramic sanitary ware in different colors.
OUR SUPPLIER
Tangshan Ceramic Co., Ltd. was founded in September 1999. The company employs
more than 3,000 people, covering a total area of 400,000 square meters with an
annual production capacity of 3.5 million sanitary products. The company is a
member of China Building Ceramic & Sanitary Ware Association.
SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY
We intend to enter into agreements with numerous contractors and homebuilders
who can order our ceramic sanitary ware for condominium buildings and individual
homes. As of today, we have not identified any potential counterparties to these
agreements and we have not entered into any discussions with contractors and
homebuilders. We also will offer our product to larger home restoration stores
that have a high volume of customer traffic. Our competitive advantage is that
we offer a high quality product, while maintaining reasonable prices.
Initially, our sole officer and director, Yan Wang will market our products. If
we sell at least 50% shares in this offering, we intend to hire one salesperson
with good knowledge and connections in the sanitary ware distribution and
construction industry to introduce our product. The salesperson's job would be
to find new potential purchasers, and to set up agreements with them to buy our
ceramic sanitary ware. We intend to focus on direct marketing efforts whereby
our representative will directly contact:
* distributors that are responsible for marketing and selling sanitary
ware to plumbing stores;
* contractors and homebuilders;
* sanitary ware suppliers and installers; and
* retail outlets such as home restoration stores.
These distributors, stores, installers, contractors and homebuilders will be
asked to sell our products to consumers. We will provide them with ceramic
sanitary ware at wholesale prices. They will then sell them to consumers at
retail prices, which are typically 25%-30% higher than wholesale prices.
23
COMPETITION
There are many barriers of entry in the sanitary engineering market and level of
competition is extremely high. The principal competitive factors in our industry
are pricing and quality of goods. We will be in a market where we compete with
many domestic and international companies offering similar products. We will be
in direct competition with them. Many large companies will be able to provide
more favorable services to the potential customers. Many of these companies may
have a greater, more established customer base than us. We will likely lose
business to such companies. Also, many of these companies will be able to afford
to offer better price for similar product than us which may also cause us to
lose business. We foresee to continue to face challenges from new market
entrants. We may be unable to continue to compete effectively with these
existing or new competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations.
Vesta International, Corp. has not yet entered the market and has no market
penetration to date. Once we have entered the market, we will be one of many
participants in the business of distributing ceramic sanitary ware. Many
established, yet well financed entities are currently active in the business of
distribution such products. Nearly all Vesta International, Corp.'s competitors
have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise, and
managerial capabilities than Vesta International, Corp. We are, consequently, at
a competitive disadvantage in the market. Therefore, Vesta International, Corp.
may not be able to establish itself within the industry at all.

LTD., dated April 16, 2013. The material terms of the Contract are the

products liability action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the

cause us to cease operations.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, Yan Wang, who does
not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing
requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition
includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has
not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the
director, nor any of her family members has engaged in various types of business
dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective
determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the
opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of
independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though
such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of
directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed
and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each
director's business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate
to us and our management.

(1) A beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or
indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or
otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or
to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the
power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be
deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example,
persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In
28
addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person
has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option)
within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing
the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is
deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and
only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As of August 14, 2013,
there were 10,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
FUTURE SALES BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS
A total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to our sole officer and
director, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the
Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under
Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and
restrictions on the manner of sale. Such shares can only be sold after six
months provided that the issuer of the securities is, and has been for a period
of at least 90 days immediately before the sale, subject to the reporting
requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Shares purchased in
this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our
other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive
effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are
offering.
There is no public trading market for our common stock. There are no outstanding
options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, our common
stock. There is one holder of record for our common stock. The record holder is
our sole officer and director who owns 10,000,000 restricted shares of our
common stock.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Vesta International, Corp. has 10,000,000 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. The Company is registering an
additional of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock for sale at the price of
$0.01 per share. There is no arrangement to address the possible effect of the
offering on the price of the stock.
In connection with the Company's selling efforts in the offering, Yan Wang will
not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but
rather will rely upon the "safe harbor" provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1,
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"). Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the
broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons
associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer's
securities. Ms. Wang is not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that
term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. Ms. Wang will not be
compensated in connection with her participation in the offering by the payment
of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on
transactions in our securities. Ms. Wang is not, nor has she been within the
past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and she is not, nor has she been within the
past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the
offering, Ms. Wang will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the
Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in
securities. Ms. Wang will not participate in selling an offering of securities
for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange
Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).
Vesta International, Corp. will receive all proceeds from the sale of the
10,000,000 shares being offered. The price per share is fixed at $0.01 for the
duration of this offering. Although our common stock is not listed on a public
exchange or quoted over-the-counter, we intend to seek to have our shares of
common stock quoted on the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board. In order to be
quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our
behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance
29
that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, nor
can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be
approved. However, sales by the Company must be made at the fixed price of $0.01
for up to 240 days from the effective date of this prospectus.
The Company's shares may be sold to purchasers from time to time directly by and
subject to the discretion of the Company. Further, the Company will not offer
its shares for sale through underwriters, dealers, agents or anyone who may
receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Company and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they
may act as agents. The shares of common stock sold by the Company may be
occasionally sold in one or more transactions; all shares sold under this
prospectus will be sold at a fixed price of $0.01 per share.
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the
securities will be offered or sold in those only if they have been registered or
qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration or if qualification
requirement is available and with which Vesta International, Corp. has complied.
In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to
applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard
to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration
Statement is effective.
Vesta International, Corp. will pay all expenses incidental to the registration
of the shares (including registration pursuant to the securities laws of certain
states) which we expect to be $8,000.

PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS
You should note that our stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9
which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a
market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less
than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered
by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and
"accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly
with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which
30
provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the
penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with
current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the
broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account
statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's
account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson
compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing
prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing
before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules
require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from
these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that
the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently,
these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our
securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest
in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
STATE SECURITIES - BLUE SKY LAWS
There is no established public market for our common stock, and there can be no
assurance that any market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of
our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or securities
regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions,
commonly referred to as "Blue Sky" laws. Absent compliance with such individual
state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because
the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under
the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who
desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future,
should be aware that there may be significant state blue-sky law restrictions
upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to
purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors may not be able to liquidate
their investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an
indefinite period of time.
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the
securities will be offered or sold in those only if they have been registered or
qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration or if qualification
requirement is available and with which Vesta International, has complied. In
addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to
applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard
to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration
Statement is effective.

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.

[LETTERHEAD OF CUTLER & CO. LLC]
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Vesta International, Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vesta International Corp. (a
Development Stage Company) as of March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related
statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity and cash flows for the
year ended March 31, 2013, the period from May 11, 2011 (Inception) to March 31,
2012 and the period from May 11, 2011 (Inception) to March 31, 2013. 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 audits.
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. 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
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statements presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Vesta International Corp. as of
March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, changes in
shareholder's equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2013, the
period from May 11, 2011 (Inception) to March 31, 2012 and the period from May
11, 2011 (Inception) to March 31, 2013 in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements,
the Company's losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VESTA INTERNATIONAL, CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (AUDITED)
MARCH 31, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
VESTA INTERNATIONAL, CORP. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Nevada on May 11, 2011 to commence operations in the distribution
of ceramic sanitary ware and has adopted a March 31 fiscal year end. We plan to
market and distribute ceramic sanitary ware produced in China in the European
and North American markets. The Company is in the development stage as defined
under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards
Codification ("ASC") 915-205 "Development-Stage Entities." Since May 11, 2011
("Inception") through March 31, 2013 the Company has not generated any revenue
and has accumulated losses of $322.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred a loss since Inception resulting in an accumulated
deficit of $322 as of March 31, 2013 and further losses are anticipated in the
development of its business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company
generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary
financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal
business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating
costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from
directors and/or private placement of common stock.
Because of the Company's history of net losses, its independent auditor, in the
report on the financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013and
the period from Inception (May 11, 2012) to March 31, 2012 , expressed
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents. The Company's bank accounts are deposited in insured
institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At March 31, 2013 the
Company's bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts.
BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, "Earnings
per Share" which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per
share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is
computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per
share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during
the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if
their effect is anti-dilutive. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and the
period from Inception (May 11, 2011) to March 31 2012, there were no potentially
dilutive shares outstanding and any such shares would have been excluded from
the computation because they would have been anti-dilutive as the Company
incurred losses in both periods.
F-6
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the
requirements of FASB ASC 825, "Financial Instruments". The carrying value of the
Company's advances from shareholder approximate fair value due to the short-term
maturities of these instruments.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes".
Under FASB ASC 740 deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method
whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences
and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense
for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets
and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the
effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
FASB ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement,
presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under FASB ASC 740, the
impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be
recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained
upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At December 31, 2012 and 2011,
there were no unrecognized tax benefits.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting
pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a
material impact on the Company.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States 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 the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not issued any stock-based
payments to its employees.
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS
ASC 718, when applicable. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option
plan and has not granted any stock options.
NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK
The Company has 75,000,000 common shares authorized with a par value of $ 0.001
per share. On March 19, 2013, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its common
stock at $0.001 per share for total proceeds of $10,000.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
As of March 31, 2013 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $322
that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income through 2033.
Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been
recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not
likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance
for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
F-7
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as
follows at March 31, 2013 and 2012.
2013 2012
-------- --------
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forward $ 113 $ 26
-------- --------
Total deferred tax assets 113 26
Less: valuation allowance (113) (26)
-------- --------
Net deferred tax assets $ -- $ --
======== ========
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2013 was $113.
In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which
those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable
income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result,
management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would
not be realized as of March 31, 2013 and 2012.
Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as
follows at March 31, 2013 and 2012:
2013 2012
-------- --------
Federal statutory tax rate (35.0)% (35.0)%
Change in valuation allowance 35.0% 35.0%
-------- --------
Effective tax rate --% --%
======== ========
The Company's continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties
related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2013 and
2012, the Company has no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax
positions.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and China. Our tax years for 2011
and forward are subject to examination by tax authorities. The Company is not
currently under examination by any tax authority.
Management has evaluated tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740, and has
not identified any tax positions, other than those discussed above, that require
disclosure.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Since May 11, 2011(Inception) through March 31, 2013, the Company's sole
director loaned the Company $375 to pay for incorporation costs and bank
expenses. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, the amount outstanding was $375 and
$75, respectively. The loan is non-interest bearing, due upon demand and
unsecured.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations
subsequent to March 31, 2013 to the date these financial statements were issued,
and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to
disclose in these financial statements.

any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act
of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 383(b) as part of a registration statement relating
to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule
430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall
II-2
be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as
of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however,
that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that
is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the
registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date
of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under
the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of
securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to
the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means
of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities
to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 383;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on
behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned registrant;
(iii)The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the
offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or our securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling
persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised
that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other
than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors,
officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling
persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in
the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and
we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
