PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following is intended to be a summary of the most important aspects of our business.
ARC International Corporation
ARC International Corporation (“ARC” or “ARC”) has been engaged in the business of e-waste recycling and resource recovery since 1996, concentrated primarily in the Northeast, Midwest, Southwest and Western regions of the United States, in addition to Northwest Mexico. ARC is currently expanding its Mexican operations. In addition, we are seeking strategic acquisitions in, Canada, Vietnam, China, and Taiwan.
E-waste is a growing environmental problem. The US Environmental Protection Agency says that up to 1.9 million tons of e-waste is generated each year and only about 379,000 tons are recycled; the unrecycled e-waste is sent to landfills. Of the amount that is recycled, a large portion of the waste is shipped to Asia for recycling or landfills. ARC is providing solutions to meet this problem. Our mission is “Zero Waste, Zero Landfill, and Zero Pollution.” In addition to expanding our processing capability, we are continuously striving to increase the materials that can be economically recovered from e-waste, such as gold, copper, silver, lead, glass, paper and plastics.
ARC recycles waste from manufacturers, businesses and consumers. California, along with 6 other states, pays a subsidy in connection with e-waste recycling. ARC also refurbishes and resells obsolete electronic inventory and serviceable electronics to the less developed world, including countries such as Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar and Philippines.
ARC has grown primarily through internal expansion. We have 6 e-waste processing facilities nationwide,
including our California headquarters and are opening additional locations in 2008 including our Baja California, Mexico
Norte e waste process
ing facility. ARC has e-waste operations in California, Illinois, Georgia, Nevada, New Jersey, Texas
and Mexico. We operate primarily in larger metropolitan markets where ARC has access to major transportation infrastructure.
ARC currently owns and operates a total of 4 collection facilities, and 6 recycling facilities.
&
nbsp; ARC’s growth strategy is centered on e-waste collection and recycling expansion programs, in addition to
acquisitions, primarily within larger regional markets, as well as select Mexican and Chinese markets. We pursue a "hub and spoke"
expansion and acquisition strategy, involving acquiring or establishing collection facilities in our target markets that can be
serviced by our existing and planned recycling facilities. ARC targets both profitable and under-performing collection and recycling businesses. We will also consider acquiring collection and recycling businesses in markets where these
businesses can complement our growth plans.
ARC believes it enhances the productivity of acquired businesses through our expertise in regulatory and
permitting matters and through our internal recycling capabilities. We also seek to optimize the performance of acquired
businesses and the utilization of collection capacity by securing a captive e-waste stream and other recyclable products
for each recycling facility through an integrated network of collection locations; through long-term disposal contracts;
through enhanced marketing initiatives; through the
public contract bidding process; and through other programs that
reduce dependence on recyclable product volumes from unaffiliated sources. At present, approximately 95% of the
recyclable products received by our facilities is derived from ARC's own collection facilities or is received under
contracts of more than one year in duration. We seek to improve operating efficiencies and profitability through
increased utilization of our collection and recycling facilities, rationalizing operating and administrative costs.
ARC’s recycling operations currently recycles approximately 95% of the products which we collect. We
have established a mix of residential, commercial, industrial and municipally-contracted service revenues.
&nbs
p;
Another element of ARC’s growth strategy is shown by our recent entry into the Mexican marketplace.
In November, 2007, an affiliate of ARC acquired a 100% interest in an approximately 50 acre site, strategically fronting
Highway 1. ARC has begun the initial construction of an approximately 50,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility that will
2
include e-waste recycling, battery recycling, a smelting plant and a 60 ton scale facility that will be open to the public.
In addition, we have established a collection center in Tijuana. We will lease the facility from the affiliate upon its
completion, expected later in 2008.
ARC believes the Baja California Norte project provides the Company with a strategic entry into the Mexican
recycling market and provides a base for expanding our operations in Mexico. We intend to increase our operations in
Mexico primarily through joint ventures with local entities or by acquiring existing waste collection and/or recycling businesses.
Our address is 333 Turnbull Canyon Road, City of Industry, California 91745, and
our telephone number is (626) 606-1051

4
Risk Factors
Before you buy the securities offered hereby consider the following risk factors
and the rest of this prospectus.
RISK FACTORS
The shares are a speculative investment and risky. You should especially
consider the following risk factors, in addition to the risk factor s that apply
to enterprises in the e waste recycling industry.
We have significant capital requirements in connection
with our business expansion.
The recycling business is capital intensive, requiring significant
expenditures for transportation equipment and specialized recycling equipment.
As ARC strives to recover more material from e-waste to meet its goal of 100%
recovery, it will require significant purchases of this equipment, some of which
will need to be custom designed or adapted from existing equipment. ARC is
in need of approximately $2,500,000 in funding to carry out its business plan
for the next 12 months for recycling equipment and facilities improvement. The
ARC Offering will provide up to $6,910,000, but since the ARC Offering is being
conducted on a “straight best efforts” basis, we might need to seek capital from
other offerings or from other sources such as debt financing. As a result of the
significant operating expenses related to start up operations, operating results
will be adversely affected if significant sales do not materialize, whether due
to competition or otherwise. There can be no assurance that ARC will be
able to obtain required funding, nor that it will be able to continue its
growth in the future or maintain profitability. There can be no assurance
that ARC will be able to implement its business plan in accordance with its
internal forecasts or to a level that meets the expectations of investors. See:
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”
We plan to expand in part through acquisitions, which
could be risky and cause delays in our offering.
We may acquire other companies in the e waste recycling business in those cities
where we do not already have a physical presence. An acquisition could enable us
to expand more rapidly, but the success of any acquisition will be heavily
dependent upon due diligence investigation of the acquired company’s operations
and history, including liabilities. ARC’s ability to acquire any business will
be subject to the ability of ARC to obtain audited financial statements of
the acquired company, unless such business is not deemed to be material
(generally, a business whose sales are equal or exceed 10% of ARC’s revenues for
the prior fiscal year would be considered “material.”) In the event ARC
acquires any material business during the offering period it would be required
to suspend the offering until such time as this prospectus is amended to update
the information in this prospectus, including the required audited financial
information of the acquired business. See “Business-Expansion Plan.”
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
ARC International Corporation has filed a registration statement under the
Securities Act with respect to the securities offered hereby with the
Commission, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. This prospectus,

DILUTION
The difference between the initial public offering price per share of common
stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after
this offering constitutes the dilution to investors in this offering. Net
tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the net tangible book
value of ARC (tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock.
At June 30, 2008, the common stock had a net tangible book value of
$3,158,901 or $ 0.51 per share. After giving effect to the receipt
of the net proceeds from the sale of Shares offered hereby at an initial public
offering price of $4.00 per share, the pro forma net tangible book value of ARC
at June 30, 2008 would have been $10,068,901 or $1.23 per share, representing an
immediate increase in net tangible book value of $.72 per share to the present
stockholders, and immediate dilution of $2.77 per share to public
investors. The following table illustrates dilution to public investors on
a per share basis:

to retain any earnings for use in its business, and therefore does not
anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

MARKET PRICE OF COMMON
STOCK
Our common stock has never traded. As of July 31, 2008, there were 41
record holders of common stock.
There are no warrants or options outstanding and no registration rights have
been granted. At the present time 6,151,042 shares are outstanding,
including 759,125 shares which have been registered for resale via this
prospectus. These 759,125 shares are not currently eligible for resale
under Rule 144 until June 27, 2009. In addition, ARC has reserved for
issuance 2,000,000 shares of common stock to members of the Board of Directors,
employees, consultant and others under the 2007 Stock Option Plan, and ARC may
issue up to 200,000 shares upon exercise of Underwriter’s Warrants.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are estimated to be
$6,910,000, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated Offering
expenses. The Company will use the net proceeds in the following order of
priority. First ARC intends to complete the financing the development and
capital expenditures associated with the Baja California Norte e-waste
processing facility, estimated to be $2.5 million; then ARC may also use a
portion of the net proceeds, estimated at $500,000, for acquisition of other
companies in the e-waste business. No acquisition has been identified as
of the date of this prospectus. Additional amounts obtained from the offering
will be used to add plant and equipment for metal refining from the e-waste
stream (up to $2.5 million) and the remainder will be used for working capital
purposes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to three
months ended June 30, 2007
Revenues in the 2008 period were only slightly higher than in the three months
ended June 30, 2007. We reduced operating expenses in the three months ended
June 30, 2008 as compared to the 2007 quarter by about 4%. While we had
significant increases in rent, supplies, depreciation and equipment rental, and
in marketing costs, we reduced our payroll, legal and travel costs as compared
to 2007.
Year Ended March 31, 2008 compared to Year Ended March
31, 2007
Revenues increased 90% from 2007 to 2008 and gross
profit decreased from 62.7% of revenues in 2007 to 40.3% of net revenues in
2007. The increase in sales was due to opening new locations and increased sales
at existing locations. The decrease in gross profit was attributable to the
higher percentage of sales under the California Electronic Waste Recycling
Program in 2007. General and administrative expenses increased by 18% from
2007 to 2008. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily
caused by increased amounts incurred for depreciation , insurance, leasing
expenses, legal and professional fees, rental expenses, offset in part by a
decrease in labor costs. ARC believes that general and administrative
expenses will increase in the future in line with its continuing business
expansion, and with increases in revenues.
Interest expenses increased from $244,046 in fiscal 2007 to $507,345 due
to increased borrowings to fund expansion. Net income of $461,636 in 2008 was
less than the $529,192. Management believes that for fiscal 2009 revenues will
continue to increase and we will be able to maintain profitability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively, ARC had working capital of
$713,483 and $499,599 and shareholders’ equity of $3,158,901 and
$2,942,363. ARC had a revolving credit and line of credit agreement with a bank
s for up to $4,800,000 for up to 85% of eligible accounts. The second line
was for Exim-bank guaranteed receivables for 90% of eligible accounts
receivable. ARC had one bank line of for equipment purchases for
$1,000,000, all of which was utilized as of March 31, 2007, and another bank
line for equipment of $744,000, all of which was utilized as of March 31,
2007. All of these lines terminated on August 1, 2008. A new agreement a
revolving credit line of $5,000,000 is in the negotiation process. The proposed
terms of the agreement are for the loaning of up to 85% of domestic accounts
receivable assuming dilution is not more than 5%. An additional revolving
credit line of $5,000,000 is also in the negotiation process. The proposed
terms of the agreement are for the loaning of up to 90% of foreign accounts
receivable assuming dilution is not more than 5%. For the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2009, ARC estimates it will require obtaining additional lines
of credit, or increases in the existing lines, of approximately $9,000,000, in
order to fund equipment purchases. In addition, ARC’s Baja California Mexico
facility will require capital expenditures of approximately $2,500,000
commencing during fiscal 2008 and continuing until some time in fiscal 2009.
ARC believes it can obtain the required increases in credit facilities or
in the alternative obtain capital through the sales of its equity securities.
However, ARC has no agreement or arrangement for obtaining such equity infusions
and there can be no assurance that the needed cash can be obtained. If such cash
is not obtained ARC will not be able to continue to expand its operations.

obtain equity financing as well
Other factors which are mentioned in this Prospectus or which may be mentioned
in ARC’s future reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
BUSINESS
Background
ARC
International Corporation (“ARC,” the “Company” or “us”) was incorporated in
Nevada in December 1998 under the name “Northstar Ventures, Inc.”
Northstar Ventures, Inc., a “blank check” or “shell” company, filed
a Registration Statement on Form 10-SB in 2000 and thereby became required to
file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On January 4,
2008, Northstar, with 746,625 outstanding shares, acquired all the outstanding
shares of ARC International Corp., a California corporation engaged in recycling
e-waste (“ARC California”), by the issuance of 6,138,542 new shares of its
common stock. ARC California was incorporated in California in 1996.
Northstar subsequently changed its name to ARC International Corporation, and
the sole officer and director of Northstar was replaced by designees of ARC
California. As a result of the above transaction, ARC’s corporate structure
consists of a Nevada holding company; a California subsidiary which is the
operating company; and a new Mexican subsidiary, ARC de Mexico SA. For
purposes of this Prospectus, references to ARC or the Company are to the
consolidated entity unless the context requires otherwise.
General
ARC International Corporation (“ARC”) has been engaged in the business of
e-waste recycling and resource recovery since 1996. We have 11 e-waste
processing facilities nationwide including our California headquarters and are
opening additional locations in 2008, including a state of the art waste
processing facility in Baja California Norte, Mexico currently under
construction.
E-waste is a growing environmental problem. The US Environmental Protection
Agency says that up to 1.9 million tons of e-waste is generated each year and
only about 379,000 tons are recycled; the unrecycled e-waste is sent to
landfills. Of the amount that is recycled, a large portion of the waste is
shipped to Asia for recycling or landfills. ARC is providing solutions to
meet this problem. Our mission is “Zero Waste, Zero Landfill, Zero Pollution.”
In addition to expanding our processing capability, we are continuously striving
to increase the materials that can be economically recovered from e-waste, such
as gold, copper, silver, lead, glass, paper and plastics.
9
ARC recycles waste from manufacturers, businesses and consumers. California,
along with 6 other states, pays a subsidy in connection with e-waste recycling.
ARC also refurbishes and resells obsolete electronic inventory and serviceable
electronics to the less developed world.
E-waste
About 304
million electronic devices, including cell phones, TVs, VCR, computers and
monitors were removed from US households in 2005, according to the EPA.
Businesses are also significant sources of e-waste. The components of
e-waste include glass, wood, paper, plastics, ferrous and non ferrous metals
such as gold, silver, copper, mercury, cadmium, lead, antimony, beryllium, and
chromium. The heavy metals in e-waste are hazardous if leached from
landfills. About $6 in material can be recovered from one computer. Improper
recycling of e-waste as carried out in the developing world is highly polluting.
For example, copper can be recovered from wiring by simply burning off the
plastic insulation. Gold can be recovered by burning capacitors. These processed
release dioxins and other toxins in the atmosphere. Most of the e-waste
materials are not recycled or recovered by backyard methods. In response
to the e-waste recycling problem in the developing world, the Basel Convention
has been adopted to ban the export of e-waste to developing countries. The
United States of America is not a party to the Basel Convention. China has
banned the importation of e-waste, although enforcement of this law is not
consistent.
In response to the e-waste problem, several manufacturers are reducing the use
of lead and other heavy metals, and some offer free recycling programs.
Local governments offer e-waste collection programs; however, the majority of
e-waste is not recycled.
ARC’s E-waste processing
markets
ARC’s e-waste recycling services three primary markets: original equipment
manufacturers, large businesses and residential consumers. Original equipment
manufacturers require assistance in the disposal of obsolete or returned
inventory. An example of obsolete inventory would be dial up modems. Frequently
this inventory is still serviceable and, with the permission of the
manufacturer, ARC remarkets the new equipment to Asian markets through its
Cambodian remarketing subsidiary. This subsidiary also refurbishes used
equipment for resale.
Business customers are continually upgrading their information technology
infrastructure and require the services of a reliable and service oriented
e-waste recycler such as ARC. For our business customers, we provide procedures
to document the receipt, disassembly, destruction and recycling of e-waste. We
also document the erasure of data from storage media. Our documentation
procedures provide assurances to business customers that e-waste has been
disposed of properly, without the possibility of continuing legal liability on
their part.
Consumer e-waste is provided principally by governmental collection
programs. ARC promotes community e-waste recycling events in its areas of
operation.
Recycling process
The recycling
process is rationalized on the basis that sorted e-waste is more valuable than
unsorted. The higher the level of sorting, the higher the value. After
sorting and disassembly, we sort components mechanically and by hand, separate
the various materials either by hand or by means of various material handling,
crushing and sorting machines. We design or adapt commercial recycling equipment
for our needs. After separation, material is sold to local and oversea
manufactures or recyclers . E-waste recyclers in the United States can generally
recycle and resell about 99% (by weight) with the remainder not
being economically recyclable without substantial investment in plant and
equipment. The recycler must pay a third party for the appropriate disposal of
this residue.
Expansion Program
During fiscal 2008 we intend to expand into 8 to 10 additional locations in the
United States and open overseas facilities in the Pacific Rim as well. ARC
has established an internal training program called “ARC University” to train
facility personnel in our new locations in ARC’s methods and recycling
philosophy.
10
Our Baja California Norte facility is being constructed on the outskirts of
Ensenada, Mexico. This location was chosen due to its proximity to the United
States and the port of Ensenada. The Baja California Norte processing facility
will complete processing for the e waste collected throughout all our North
American locations. ARC’s intent is to centralize the major portion of its
recycling in this location, and to invest in the specialized equipment to
recycle a higher percent of the e-waste. Our goal is 100% recycling. We plan to
establish a smelter at this location to recycle glass from CRT monitors, to
recover more metals from the e waste and process recyclable plastics, and market
the recycled materials internationally. We hope to open this facility in April,
2008
We may acquire other companies in the e waste recycling business in those cities
where we do not already have a physical presence. An acquisition could enable us
to expand more rapidly, but the success of any acquisition will be heavily
dependent upon due diligence investigation of the acquired company’s operations
and history, including liabilities. ARC’s ability to acquire any business will
be subject to the ability for ARC to obtain audited financial statements of the
acquired company, unless such business is not deemed to be material (generally,
a business whose sales are equal or exceed 10% of ARC’s revenues for the prior
fiscal year would be considered “material.” In the event ARC acquires any
material business during the offering period it would be required to suspend the
offering until such time as this prospectus is amended to update the information
in this prospectus, including the required audited financial information of the
acquired business.
ARC is seeking ways to use its recycling expertise in other facets of the
recycling industry. In particular, we recently acquired a small auto recycler in
Santa Ana California and one in Tijuana Baja California. Auto recycling is
currently an insignificant percentage of our business. Following the operation
of these pilot locations, we will evaluate whether entry into this market will
be appropriate.
ARC also intends to acquire metal recovery equipment in order to increase its
profit margins. Currently, ARC sells a portion of the recycled material to other
parties which refine metal from the material. ARC intends to invest up to $2.5
million in plant and equipment so that it can bring the metal extraction in
house.
E-waste Subsidy; Governmental
Regulation
The California
Waste Recycling Act of 2003 established a funding system for the collection and
recycling of cathode ray tubes, liquid crystal display monitors, and other video
display devices. Under this law, retailers collect a recycling fee at the time
of initial sale of covered devices, and remit this fee to California. California
pays eligible recyclers a fee for collecting and recycling these devices, and
prohibits their export as e-waste unless the handling of the covered devices in
the country of destination can be shown to comply with international standards
ARC, as an authorized collector and recycler, receives a payment from the State
of California for collection and recycling of these covered devices. We have
collector and recycling licenses at both our City of Industry location in Los
Angeles County and in our Hayward location in Northern California.
Currently, the states of Maryland, Maine, Connecticut, North Carolina, Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia Canada, have similar e-waste collection subsidy
programs. The California subsidy program provides significant revenue to ARC.
The State of California pays $0.39 to
$0.48/lb for recycled monitors, Laptop computers and TVs.
11
.
ARC is required by each State or local government to maintain permits for the
handling, recycling and disposal of e-waste and toxic materials.
Regulations require the payment of licensing fees, compliance with handling and
disposal regulations and inspections to verify compliance. ARC maintains a
regulatory department to ensure compliance with these regulations. Zoning and
other municipal requirements limit where recyclers can operate. Should ARC
increase its ability to recover materials, it could be subject to additional
environmental or other requirements.
Competition
We compete with a large number of e-waste recycling firms. For example, in
California there are over 500 licensed e-waste collection and recycling
facilities. According to information provided by the state of California, we are
the second largest recycler by volume in the state. The largest participant in
California’s e-waste program is Electronic Recyclers, and the third largest is
SIMS Recycling Solutions. We do not yet enjoy these dominant positions in
other states, and the e-waste business is not dominated nationally by any one
competitor or group of competitors. We are aware of a large competitor, Amandi,
Inc., which claims to have 300 employees at eight locations. Amandi opened
California operations in 2007 and is not yet a significant competitor in
California. Our goal is to become the largest e-waste recycler in the
United States. In addition, there are numerous companies engaged in recycling
and garbage collection in the United States, many of which have more financial
resources than us and are better established. Should one of the larger waste
disposal companies enter the e-waste market, they would compete with
us.
Employees
We have 120 employees, almost all of which are full time. No employees are
represented by labor unions.

ARC has never granted any stock options or other equity awards. Directors
receive no compensation for acting as directors.
ARC International Corporation, by resolution of its Board of Directors and
stockholders, adopted a 2007 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") in December,
2007. The Plan enables ARC to offer an incentive based compensation system
to employees, officers and directors and to employees of companies who do
business with ARC.
In the discretion of a committee comprised of non-employee directors (the
"Committee"), directors, officers, and key employees or employees of companies
with which we do business become participants in the Plan upon receiving grants
in the form of stock options or restricted stock. A total of 2,000,000
shares are authorized for issuance under the Plan, of which no shares are
issued. ARC may increase the number of shares authorized for issuance
under the Plan or may make other material modifications to the Plan without
shareholder approval. However, no amendment may change the existing rights
of any option holder.
Any shares which are subject to an award but are not used because the terms and
conditions of the award are not met, or any shares which are used by
participants to pay all or part of the purchase price of any option may again be
used for awards under the Plan. However, shares with respect to which a
stock appreciation right has been exercised may not again be made subject to an
award.
Stock options may be granted as non-qualified stock options or incentive stock
options, but incentive stock options may not be granted at a price less than
100% of the fair market value of the stock as of the date of grant (110% as to
any 10% shareholder at the time of grant); non-qualified stock options may not
be granted at a price less than 85% of fair market value of the stock as of the
date of grant. Restricted stock may not be granted under the Plan in
connection with incentive stock options.
Stock options may be exercised during a period of time fixed by the Committee
except that no stock option may be exercised more than ten years after the date
of grant or three years after death or disability, whichever is later. In
the discretion of the Committee, payment of the purchase price for the shares of
stock acquired through the exercise of a stock option may be made in cash,
shares of Common Stock or by delivery or recourse promissory notes or a
combination of notes, cash and shares of ARC's common stock or a combination
thereof. Incentive stock options may only be issued to directors, officers
and employees.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
ARC Offering
ARC has applied for
listing of the common stock on ______________. ARC is offering 2,000,000 shares
through Jackson, Kohle & Co., a FINRA registered broker dealer (the
“Underwriter”) on a “straight best efforts, no minimum” offering. No escrow of
offering proceeds will be established. Officers and directors may also offer
Shares in the ARC Offering, in which no sales commission will be payable with
respect to such Shares.The Underwriter has
advised ARC that it proposes to offer the Shares to the public at the offering
price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and that the Underwriter
may allot to certain Dealers who are members in good standing of FINRA of
$_________ per Share, of which not in excess of $____________ per Share may be
re-allowed to other Dealers who are members of FINRA. After the initial
public offering, the public offering price, commissions and re-allowances may be
changed by the Underwriter. The Underwriter may assign all or part of the ARC
Offering to its European Union affiliate, Jackson, Kohle SE.
ARC has agreed to pay to the Underwriter a non-accountable expense allowance of
3% of the gross proceeds of this offering, of which $___ has been paid to
date.
ARC has agreed to sell to the Underwriter, or its designees, for nominal
consideration, a five year Underwriter’s Warrant to purchase up to 200,000
Shares at 120% of the initial public offering price per Share. The
Underwriter’s Warrant will be exercisable during the four-year period commencing
one year from the date of this Prospectus. ARC has the right to call the
Underwriter’s Warrant on 60 day’s notice if the trading price of the common
stock exceeds $9.60 per share for 30 consecutive days, subject to the current
effectiveness of a registration statement covering the underlying shares and
other conditions. The Underwriter’s Warrant may not be transferred, sold,
assigned or hypothecated for one year from the date hereof except to officers of
the Underwriter. For the life of the Underwriter’s Warrant, the holder
thereof is given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of
the common stock of ARC with a resulting dilution in the interest of other
stockholders. ARC may find it more difficult to raise additional equity
capital if it should be needed for the business of ARC while the Underwriter’s
Warrant is outstanding; and at any time when the holder of the Underwriter’s
Warrant might be expected to exercise it, ARC would probably be able to obtain
additional equity capital on terms more favorable than those provided in the
Underwriter’s Warrant. ARC has agreed, at its expense, to register under
the Securities Act, on one occasion, and at the expense of the Underwriter on
another occasion, the Underwriter’s Warrant, and/or the underlying securities at
the request of the holder thereof, during the four year period commencing one
year from the date of this Prospectus. ARC has also agreed to certain
"piggy-back" registration rights for the holders of the Underwriter’s Warrant,
and securities issuable upon exercise thereof, for a period of six years
commencing one year from the date of this Prospectus. The Underwriter has
informed ARC that it does not expect sales of Shares to be made to discretionary
accounts.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public trading market for ARC common
stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price of the Shares has
been determined by negotiations between ARC and the Underwriter. Among the
factors considered in determining the offering price and exercise prices were
ARC's historical results of operations, market prices and similar
securities of comparable publicly traded companies, certain financial and
operating information of companies engaged in activities similar to those of ARC
and the general condition of the securities markets.
Selling Stockholder Offering
ARC anticipates once the shares are trading on the ___________ or any
other market the selling stockholders will sell their shares directly into any
market created. The prices the selling stockholders will receive will be
determined by the market conditions. Selling stockholders may also sell in
private transactions, and may sell directly or through the Underwriter.
ARC International Corporation cannot predict the price at which shares may be
sold or whether the common stock will ever trade on any market. The shares
may be sold by the selling stockholders, as the case may be, from time to time,
in one or more transactions. ARC International Corporation does not intend
to enter into any arrangements with any securities dealers concerning
solicitation of offers to purchase the shares. Selling Stockholders may also
sell in private transactions, at privately negotiated prices, but no sales
commissions may be paid for effectuating private transactions.
21
Commissions and discounts paid in connection with the sale of the shares by the
selling stockholders will be determined through negotiations between them and
the broker-dealers through or to which the securities are to be sold and may
vary, depending on the broker-dealers fee schedule, the size of the transaction
and other factors. The separate costs of the selling stockholders will be borne
by them. The selling stockholders will, and any broker,-broker dealer or agent
that participates with the selling stockholders in the sale of the shares by
them may be deemed an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act,
and any commissions or discounts received by them and any profits on the resale
of shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under
the Securities Act. ARC understands that it is the position of FINRA that such
sales commissions or discounts should not exceed 5% of the gross offering price
at which the selling stockholders sell their shares.
ARC will bear all costs of the offering except for sales commissions related to
the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders Offering.
Regulation M
Regulation M prohibits certain market activities by persons selling securities
in a distribution. To demonstrate their understanding of those
restrictions and others, selling stockholders will be required, prior to the
release of unlegended shares to themselves or any transferee, to represent as
follows: that they have delivered a copy of this prospectus, and if they are
effecting sales on the Electronic Bulletin Board or interdealer quotation system
or any electronic network, that neither they nor any affiliates or person acting
on their behalf, directly or indirectly, has engaged in any short sale of ARC
common stock; and for a period commencing at least 5 business days before his
first sale and ending with the date of his last sale, bid for, purchase, or
attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase ARC common
stock.
The Underwriter does not make markets in any securities.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The President of ARC, who is also the majority shareholder, has personally
guaranteed ARC’s revolving line of credit in the amount of $4,000,000 and
equipment purchasing lines totaling $1,744,000.
ARC’s Turnbull Canyon facilities were leased from a non-affiliated party in
December, 2006 for a lease expiring in December, 2009. The lease agreement
provided ARC with an option to purchase the property until October 2007 for
$12,309,888. ARC transferred this option to purchase to an entity controlled by
the President at no cost. ARC now leases this facility from its President at a
price of $0.54 per square foot, triple net, which is $0.67 in total. The lease
from the affiliate of the President expires on Dec. 31, 2103. ARC believes that
the purchase of the Turnbull facility by its President was in the best interests
of ARC as it enables ARC to utilize its cash and borrowing resources on its core
business. The lease rate was based on rates for comparable industrial
properties in the area. The Board of Directors believes the lease rate is
at fair market value.
The Baja California property is owned by an affiliate of
Mr. Hooper. The lease rate has not yet been determined. The lease
will commence on build completion, estimated for April, 2008.
On January 4, 2008, the five shareholders of ARC International Corp., a
California corporation, received 5,401,917 shares of ARC common stock in
exchange for their shares of the California corporation. This transaction
was reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 4, 2008.

payment in full of all liabilities. Holders of common stock have no
preemptive rights to purchase ARC's common stock. There are no conversion
rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to the common
stock.
Meetings of stockholders may be called by the board of directors, the chairman
of the board, the president, or by one or more holders entitled to cast in the
aggregate not less than 20% of the votes at the meeting. Holders of a
majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting must be
present, in person or by proxy, for a quorum to be present to enable the conduct
of business at the meeting.
Preferred Stock
ARC's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 20,000,000 shares
of shares of preferred stock, no par value, of which no shares of Preferred
Stock are outstanding.
ARC's Board of Directors has authority, without action by the shareholders, to
issue all or any portion of the authorized but unissued preferred stock in one
or more series and to determine the voting rights, preferences as to dividends
and liquidation, conversion rights, and other rights of such series. ARC
considers it desirable to have preferred stock available to provide increased
flexibility in structuring possible future acquisitions and financings and in
meeting corporate needs which may arise. If opportunities arise that would
make desirable the issuance of preferred stock through either public offering or
private placements, the provisions for preferred stock in ARC's Articles of
Incorporation would avoid the possible delay and expense of a shareholder's
meeting, except as may be required by law or regulatory authorities.
Issuance of the preferred stock could result, however, in a series of securities
outstanding that will have certain preferences with respect to dividends and
liquidation over the common stock which would result in dilution of the income
per share and net book value of the common stock. Issuance of additional
common stock pursuant to any conversion right which may be attached to the terms
of any series of preferred stock may also result in dilution of the net income
per share and the net book value of the common stock. The specific terms
of any series of preferred stock will depend primarily on market conditions,
terms of a proposed acquisition or financing, and other factors existing at the
time of issuance. Therefore, it is not possible at this time to determine
in what respect a particular series of preferred stock will be superior to ARC's
common stock or any other series of preferred stock which ARC may issue.
The Board of Directors may issue additional preferred stock in future
financings, but has no current plans to do so at this time.
The issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting
stock of ARC.
ARC intends to furnish holders of its common stock annual reports containing
audited financial statements and to make public quarterly reports containing
unaudited financial information.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for the common stock is Corporate Stock Transfer, 3200 Cherry
Creek Road South D
Denver, Colorado 80902, and its telephone number
is (303) 282-4800. Their website is www.corporatestock.com.
INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
The legality of the Shares offered hereby will be passed upon for ARC by Joel E.
Hand, Esq., San Diego, California.

EXPERTS
The audited financial statements of ARC International Corporation included in
this Prospectus as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 have been audited by the Black
Wing Group LLC, independent certified public accountant, to the extent and for
the periods set forth in their report thereon and are included in reliance upon
such report given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.
INDEMNIFICATION
ARC International Corporation has adopted provisions in its articles of
incorporation and bylaws that limit the liability of its directors and provide
for indemnification of its directors and officers to the full extent permitted
under the Nevada General Business Law. Under ARC International
Corporation's articles of incorporation, and as permitted under the Nevada
General Business Law, directors are not liable to ARC International Corporation
or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of their
fiduciary duty of care as directors. Such provisions do not, however,
relieve liability for breach of a director's duty of loyalty to ARC
International Corporation or its stockholders, liability for acts or omissions
not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of
law, liability for transactions in which the director derived as improper
personal benefit or liability for the payment of a dividend in violation of
Nevada law. Further, the provisions do not relieve a director's liability
for violation of, or otherwise relieve ARC International Corporation or its
directors from the necessity of complying with, federal or state securities laws
or affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or
recision.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director,
officer, employee or agent of ARC International Corporation where
indemnification will be required or permitted. ARC International
Corporation is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may
result in a claim for indemnification by any director or officer.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of ARC International Corporation pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, ARC International Corporation has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other
than the payment by ARC International Corporation of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of ARC International Corporation in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, ARC International Corporation will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

Independent PCAOB Auditor’s Report
ARC
International Corp
333
Turnball Canyon Road
City
of Industry, CA 91745
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ARC International Corp as of
March 31, 2007 and 2008, and the related statements of income, and changes in
members’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended. 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. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of ARC International Corp as of March 31, 2007 and 2008,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The condensed financial statements of ARC International Corporation included herein, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although certain information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted, ARC International Corporation believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
A summary of significant accounting policies of ARC
International Corporation is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s
financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of
the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements.
The condensed financial statements included herein reflect all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation.
Organization, Nature of Business and Trade Name (also
see Note Q)
Northstar Ventures, Inc. (NVI) was organized under the
laws of the State of Nevada on December 3, 1998 under the name of Northstar
Ventures, Inc. The Company was incorporated primarily to evaluate, negotiate,
structure and complete a merger, or acquisition of, prospects consisting of
private companies, partnerships, or sole proprietorships. NVI seeks to acquire a
controlling interest in such entities in contemplation of later completing an
acquisition. NVI is not limited to any operation or geographic area in seeking
out opportunities.
NVI intends to continue to seek the acquisition of
assets, property or business that may benefit the NVI and its stockholders.
Management anticipates that any such acquisition would require it to issue
shares of its common stock as the sole consideration for the acquisition. The
NVI does not intend to restrict its search to any particular business or
industry, and the area in which it will seek out acquisition, reorganizations or
mergers will be restriction free.
The NVI's articles initially authorized 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock, both at a par value of $0.001 per share.
ARC International Corp. (the Company) is in the business
of providing material recycling services. During the past fiscal year, the
Company has evolved from a provider in traditional, reverse, E-commerce, and
environmental logistic to an E-waste and metal recycler. The Company was
incorporated in the state of California on March 28, 1996, and began operations
on the same date. The Company currently operates in California, Texas, Georgia,
New Jersey, Chicago and Nevada.
The Company grants credit to customers in E-waste
industry throughout the nation. Consequently, the Company’s ability to sell and
collect the amounts due from customers is affected by economic fluctuations in
those industries.
The Company’s articles initially authorized 100,000,000
shares of common stock with a stated value of $1.

ARC INTERNATIONAL CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
Organization, Nature of Business and Trade Name
(continued)
On January 4, 2008, Northstar Ventures, Inc., a Nevada
corporation made an acquisition of ARC International Corp., a California
corporation by exchanging Ten Million Eight Hundred Three Thousand Eight Hundred
and Thirty Four (10,803,834) shares of common stock (100%) of ARC International
Corp. for Ten Million Eight Hundred Three Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty Four
(10,803,834) shares of common stock of Northstar Ventures, Inc. Immediately
prior to implementation of this agreement Northstar Ventures, Inc. had One
Million Four Hundred Seventy Three Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty share
outstanding. After implementation of the agreement Northstar Ventures, Inc. has
Twelve Million Two Hundred Seventy Seven Thousand Eight Four shares of Common
Stock.
The financials include the accounts of Northstar
Ventures, Inc. and ARC International Corp. up until January 4, 2008 each of
these companies were separate and distinct. On January 4, 2008, Northstar
Ventures, Inc. acquired ARC International Corp. as a wholly owned subsidiary.
ARC International Corp.’s primary business is E-waste and metal recycling. Upon
execution of this agreement Northstar Ventures, Inc. changed its name to ARC
International Corp.
Prior to January 4, 2008, ARC International Corp. had
been a privately owned and operated business with well-established facilities in
California, Texas, Georgia, and Nevada.
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that
it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing
and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and
detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed
to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) all
valid transactions are recorded and (3) transactions are recorded in the period
in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company for the
respective periods being presented.
Activity reflected in these consolidated financial
statements is from the activity in acquired company ARC International
Corp.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generally recognizes revenue upon the
delivery of service and products, except E-waste revenue claimed under the
California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 (California SB 20). Under the
California SB 20 revenue is recognized when the claim is submitted to the
California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB).
Advertising
Expenses related to specific jobs are allocated and

(continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company
considers unrestricted currency, demand deposits, certificate of deposits, money
market accounts and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains at various financial
institutions cash and cash equivalents, which may exceed federally insured
amounts at times. The Company places its cash balances with high quality
financial institutions, and management believes credit risk is
limited.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Renewals and
betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When
assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is
reflected in income for the period.
Depreciation is computed for financial statement
purposes on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related
assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are:
Estimated
Useful
Lives
Office
Equipment
5-10 years
Office
Furniture
5-7 years
Shop
Tools
5-7 years
Vehicles
5-10 years
For federal income tax purposes, depreciation is
computed under the modified accelerated cost recovery system. For audit
purposes, depreciation is computed under the straight-line method.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. A change in managements’ estimates
or assumptions could have a material impact on ARC International Corporation’s
financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such
changes occurred. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates
also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. In management’s opinion, methodologies used to determine estimates are
adequate and consistent with those of prior years. ARC International
Corporation’s financial statements reflect all adjustments that management
believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition
and results of operations for the periods presented.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts
to properly reflect the realizable value of trade accounts receivable.
Management based upon past experience of uncollectible accounts estimates the
balance in the allowance account. Accounts receivable reflects an allowance for
uncollectible accounts for March 31, 2008 and 2007 of $40,000 and
$20,000.

Inventories
Inventories consisting primarily of LCD monitors,
wireless communication media center, laser printer, and home theater monitor
stands are stated at lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.
Cost is determined by using the moving average method. We have no policy for a
reserve for excess and obsolete inventory based on forecasted demand. As of
March 31, 2008 and 2007 the Company had no inventory on hand.
Investment
in Securities
Management invested in two strategic overseas joint
ventures for the purpose of expanding its core business in other countries. The
accounting method used to record these transactions is based upon the equity
method, which sometimes also referred to one-line consolidation. This method
permits an entity (investor) owning a percentage of the common stock of another
entity (investee) to incorporate its pro rata share of the investee’s operating
results into its earnings.
Management determines the appropriate classification of
securities at the time of purchase. Securities to be held for indefinite periods
of time and not intended to be held to maturity are classified as available for
sale and carried at fair value.
Realized gains and losses on dispositions are based on
the net proceeds and the adjusted book value of the securities sold. Unrealized
gains and losses on investment securities available for sale are based on the
difference between book value and fair value of each security. These gains and
losses are credited or charged to shareholders’ equity net of deferred taxes,
whereas realized gains and losses flow through the Company’s yearly
operations.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The Company regularly reviews long-lived assets and
intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of
the expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, were
less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company would recognize an
impairment loss based on the estimated fair value of its assets. As of March 31,
2008 and 2007, the Company recorded no impairment loss on long-lived
assets.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial
statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective income tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. A valuation
allowance is established if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets
will not be realized.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit
risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2008, the claims
submitted to the CIWMB represented approximately 29% of the trade accounts
receivable before allowances. In addition, four customers other than CIWMB
represented approximately 35% of the trade accounts receivable before allowances
at March 21, 2008. For customers other than CIWMB, the Company generally does
not require collateral and its accounts receivable is not secured. The Company
performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and maintains an allowance
of credit losses.

Stock Authorization
The Company has authorized common stock and has also
authorized preferred stock. As of the date of this report no preferred stock has
been issued.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For the following financial instruments including cash,
accounts receivable, inventories, other receivables, prepaid expenses, and
accounts payable, notes payable, accrued expense, and deposits, carrying value
approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these financial
instruments. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value
because of the terms of the instruments are similar to terms available to the
Company for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in
time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainty and matters of
significant judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes
in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements are presented
based on the generally accepted accounting principle of acquisition. An
acquisition of a company occurs when one enterprise pays cash, or issues stock
or debt for all or part of the voting stock of another enterprise. The acquired
enterprise remains intact as a separate legal entity. The parent-subsidiary
relationship is accounted for as a purchase, and it is referred to as an
acquisition. Consolidated statements present the results of operations and the
financial position of a parent company and its subsidiaries essentially as if
the group were a single enterprise with one or more branches or
divisions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3." This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, when practicable.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140." This statement improves financial reporting by eliminating the exemption from applying statement 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2007.
In March 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 " Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140." This statement requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 states that an entity should adopt this statement as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2007.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In October 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS No.
157). The purpose of SFAS No. 157 is to provide users of financial statements
with better information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure
recognized assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements,
and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings for the period.
SFAS No. 157 also provides guidance on the definition of
fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures
about fair value measurements. This changes the definition of fair value to be
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability, an exit price, as opposed to the price that would be paid to acquire
the asset or received to assume the liability, an entry price. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008, and interim periods with those fiscal years (e.g., January 1,
2008, for calendar year-end entities.) We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No.
157 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In September 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 (SFAS
No. 158), which amends SFAS No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). Post application of SFAS
158, an employer should continue to apply the provision in Statements 87, 88,
and 106 in measuring plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of its
statement of financial position and in determining the amount of net periodic
benefit cost. SFAS 158 requires amounts to be recognized as the funded status of
a benefit plan, which is, the difference between plan assets at fair value and
the benefit obligation. SFAS 158 further requires recognition of gains/losses
and prior service costs or credits not recognized pursuant to SFAS No. 87 or
SFAS No. 106. Additionally, the measurement date is to be the date of the
employer’s fiscal year-end.
Lastly, SFAS No. 158 requires disclosure in the
financial statements effects from delayed recognition of gains/losses, prior
service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations. SFAS No. 158 is
effective for years ending after December 15, 2007 for employers with publicly
traded equity securities and as of the end of the fiscal year ended after June
15, 2008 for employers without publicly traded equity securities. We do not
expect the adoption of SFAS No. 158 to have a material impact on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
None of the above new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but may be applicable to the Company's future financial reporting.

agreement. Any borrowings under the facility would bear interest at bank prime
rate minus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 2.00%, and are secured by substantially all
Company assets. In addition, the Company’s president and vise president
personally guaranteed the line of credit. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, the
outstanding balances aggregated $2,968,068 and $2,744,504 with the interest rate

on August 1, 2008. The Bank asked the Company to seek for a new Bank to
pay off all the outstanding notes (balances of $2,968,068 and $2,988,012) and
has willingly issued a temporary extension for the notes to allow the Company to
find a new Bank to take over the above mentioned notes. Subsequently, a new Bank
has proposed the following terms:
The Bank will issue a contract for a revolving credit
line of $5,000,000 for the Company. The proposed terms of the agreement are for

The acquired company, ARC International Corp. filed

International Corp. elected and filed to be a C Corporation.
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS
109”). Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax asset and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax asset and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the
enactment occurs. Deferred taxation is provided in full in respect of taxation
deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for
taxation and accounting purposes. Valuation allowances are established, when
necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.

NOTE Q – ACQUISITION
An acquisition of a company occurs when one enterprise
pays cash, or issues stock or debt for all or part of the voting stock of
another enterprise. The acquired enterprise remains intact as a separate legal
entity. The parent-subsidiary relationship is accounted for as a purchase, and
it is referred to as an acquisition.
ARC International Corp. prior to the acquisition had Ten
Million Eight Hundred Three Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty Four (10,803,834)
shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Per the acquisition agreement
these shares were exchanged for an equal number of shares in Northstar Ventures,
Inc. Northstar Ventures, Inc. prior to the acquisition had originally issued and
outstanding One Million Four Hundred Seventy Three Thousand Two Hundred and
Fifty (1,473,250) shares of common stock. After the implementation of the
agreement Northstar Ventures, Inc. had outstanding Twelve Million Two Hundred
Seventy Seven Thousand Eighty Four (12,277,084) shares of common stock. In an
acquisition the stock disclosures are presented by retroactively stating the
equity accounts as of the earliest period presented to give effect to the new
capital structure subsequent to the acquisition.
Therefore, the equity section of the financial
statements presented reports the total number of shares issued as of March 31,
2008 as Twelve Million Two Hundred Seventy Seven Thousand Eighty Four
(12,277,084) shares of common stock.
The merger agreement stipulated that the shareholders of
ARC International Corp. would exchange Ten Million Eight Hundred Three Thousand
Eight Hundred and Thirty Four (10,803,834) shares, representing One Hundred
Percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of ARC International Corp.
common stock, including its processes and assets; for Ten Million Eight Hundred
Three Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty Four (10,803,834) shares of stock of
Northstar Ventures, Inc. Upon the finalization of this transaction per the
agreement, ARC International Corp. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Northstar
Ventures, Inc. and Northstar Ventures, Inc. changed its name to ARC
International Corporation.
Per the acquisition agreement, on January 4, 2008, ARC
International Corp. transferred Ten Million Eight Hundred Three Thousand Eight
Hundred and Thirty Four (10,803,834) shares of the stock representing One
Hundred Percent (100%) of the authorized and outstanding shares of ARC
International Corp. Northstar Ventures, Inc. issued Ten Million Eight Hundred
Three Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty Four (10,803,834) shares of common stock
representing Eighty Eight Percent (88%) of the authorized issued and outstanding
shares of Northstar

NOTE Q – ACQUISITION (continued)
Ventures, Inc. in exchange for the Ten Million Eight
Hundred Three Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty Four (10,803,834) shares of
common stock of ARC International Corp.
As part of the acquisition ARC International Corp.
exchanged assets valued at approximately $2,480,729 for Ten Million Eight
Hundred Three Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty Four (10,803,834) shares of
Northstar Ventures, Inc. at a value of .2296 per share. At the time of the
acquisition, Northstar Ventures, Inc., had no assets; therefore the One Million
Four Hundred Seventy Three Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty (1,473,250) shares of
Northstar Ventures, Inc. still issued and outstanding had no value at the time
of the trade. The resulting increase in shares caused a decrease in the value of
the newly issued Ten Million Eight Hundred Three Thousand Eight Hundred and
Thirty Four (10,803,834) shares to .2021 cents per share. This resulted in a
dilution of .0275 cents per share equal to a .1198 percent dilution.
NOTE R – LIQUIDITY AND BANK CREDIT FACILITIES
As mentioned in Note I, if the current bank had not
allowed the Company time to seek financing with a new bank in order to pay off
the loan agreements that expired on August 1, 2008, the Company would have been
forced to attempt early collection of the domestic and foreign accounts
receivables. In the event the Company is unable to obtain the financing to
satisfy the outstanding notes, the Company does plan on using the accounts
receivable collections to pay off the notes. This action, if taken, will create
tremendous cash flow and liquidity problems for the Company in supporting its
continuing operations.
The Company has also initiated communications with
various financials institutions to evaluate other potential sources of funding.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
obtaining additional financing without the successful completion of the current
negotiations regarding the expired loan. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to obtain the
financing it is seeking.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
NOTE A – The Company and Nature of
Operations
ARC International Corp. (the Company) is in the business
of providing material recycling services. During the past fiscal year, the
Company has evolved from a provider in traditional, reverse, E-commerce, and
environmental logistic to an E-waste and metal recycler. The Company was
incorporated in the State of California on March 28, 1996, and began operations
on the same date. The Company currently operates in California, Georgia,
Chicago, New Jersey, Nevada and Texas.
The Company grants credits to customers in E-waste and
material recycling industry throughout the nation and overseas.
Consequently, the Company’s ability to sell and collect the amounts due from
customers is affected by economic fluctuations in those industries.
NOTE B – Summary of Significant Accounting
Policy
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generally recognizes revenue upon the
delivery of service and products, except E-waste revenue claimed under the
California Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 (California SB 20) is
recognized when the claim is submitted to the California Integrated Waste
Management Board (CIWMB).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the
accounting for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, taxes and
contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates
also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. In management’s opinion, methodologies used to determine estimates
are adequate and consistent with those of prior years.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts
to properly reflect the realizable value of trade accounts receivable. The
balance in the allowance account is estimated by management based upon past
experience of uncollectible accounts. Accounts receivable reflects an
allowance for uncollectible accounts for $40,000 at June 30, 2008.
Inventories
Inventories consisting primarily of LCD monitors,
wireless communication media center, laser printer, and home theater monitor
stands are stated at lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.
Cost is determined by using the moving average method. We have no policy for a
reserve for excess and obsolete inventory based on forecasted demand. As of
March 31, 2008 and 2007 the Company had no inventory on hand.

ARC INTERNATIONAL CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
NOTE B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policy -
continued
Investment in
Securities
Management invested in two strategic overseas joint
ventures for the purpose of expanding its core business in other countries. The
accounting method used to record these transactions is based upon the equity
method, which sometimes also referred to one-line consolidation. This method
permits an entity (investor) owning a percentage of the common stock of another
entity (investee) to incorporate its pro rata share of the investee’s operating
results into its earnings.
Management determines the appropriate classification of
securities at the time of purchase. Securities to be held for indefinite periods
of time and not intended to be held to maturity are classified as available for
sale and carried at fair value.
Realized gains and losses on dispositions are based on
the net proceeds and the adjusted book value of the securities sold. Unrealized
gains and losses on investment securities available for sale are based on the
difference between book value and fair value of each security. These gains and
losses are credited or charged to shareholders’ equity net of deferred taxes,
whereas realized gains and losses flow through the Company’s yearly
operations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated lives of
the assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company regularly reviews long-lived assets and
intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicated the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the
sum of the expected future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest
charges, were less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company would
recognize an impairment loss based on the estimated fair value of its
assets. As of December 31, 2007, no impairment loss on long-lived assets
was recorded by the Company.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes were recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial
statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective income tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. A
valuation allowance is established if, based on the weight of available
evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
income tax assets will not be realized.

ARC INTERNATIONAL CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
NOTE B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policy -
continued
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit
risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2008, the claims
submitted to the CIWMB represented approximately 38% of the trade accounts
receivable before allowances. In addition, 10 customers other than CIWMB
represented approximately 52% of the trade accounts receivable before allowances
at June 30, 2008. For customers other than CIWMB, the Company generally
does not require collateral and its accounts receivable is not secured.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and maintains an
allowance of credit losses.
The Company has authorized common stock and has not
authorized any other Form of Stock including preferred stock.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For the following financial instruments including cash,
accounts receivable, inventories, other receivables, prepaid expenses, and
accounts payable, notes payable, accrued expense, and deposits, carrying value
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these financial
instruments. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value
because the terms of the instruments are similar to terms available to the
Company for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in
time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument.
These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainty and matters of
significant judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision.
Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements are presented
based on the generally accepted accounting principle of acquisition. An
acquisition of a company occurs when one enterprise pays cash, or issues stock
or debt for all or part of the voting stock of another enterprise. The acquired
enterprise remains intact as a separate legal entity. The parent-subsidiary
relationship is accounted for as a purchase, and it is referred to as an
acquisition. Consolidated statements present the results of operations and the
financial position of a parent company and its subsidiaries essentially as if
the group were a single enterprise with one or more branches or
divisions.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3." This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of changes in accounting principle, when practicable.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140." This statement improves financial reporting by eliminating the exemption from applying statement 133 to interests in securitized financial assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2007.
47
ARC INTERNATIONAL CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2008
NOTE B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policy -
continued
In March 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140." This statement requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 states that an entity should adopt this statement as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2007.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In October 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS No.
157). The purpose of SFAS No. 157 is to provide users of financial statements
with better information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure
recognized assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements,
and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings for the period.
SFAS No. 157 also provides guidance on the definition of
fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures
about fair value measurements. This changes the definition of fair value to be
the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability, an exit price, as opposed to the price that would be paid to acquire
the asset or received to assume the liability, an entry price. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008, and interim periods with those fiscal years (e.g., January 1,
2008, for calendar year-end entities.) We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No.
157 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In September 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 (SFAS
No. 158), which amends SFAS No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). Post application of SFAS
158, an employer should continue to apply the provision in Statements 87, 88,
and 106 in measuring plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of its
statement of financial position and in determining the amount of net periodic
benefit cost. SFAS 158 requires amounts to be recognized as the funded status of
a benefit plan, which is, the difference between plan assets at fair value and
the benefit obligation. SFAS 158 further requires recognition of gains/losses
and prior service costs or credits not recognized pursuant to SFAS No. 87 or
SFAS No. 106. Additionally, the measurement date is to be the date of the
employer’s fiscal year-end.
Lastly, SFAS No. 158 requires disclosure in the
financial statements effects from delayed recognition of gains/losses, prior
service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations. SFAS No. 158 is
effective for years ending after December 15, 2007 for employers with publicly
traded equity securities and as of the end of the fiscal year ended after June
15, 2008 for employers without publicly traded equity securities. We do not
expect the adoption of SFAS No. 158 to have a material impact on our financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
None of the above new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but may be applicable to the Company's future financial reporting.

NOTE H – Bank Credit Facilities
Revolving Line of Credit - continued
All loan agreements are subjected to several financial
covenants and ratios. At March 31, 2008, the Company was not in compliance with
certain financial covenants and ratio requirements. On May 28, 2008, the bank
issued a forbearance of violation against provisions of the loan agreement,
which expressed intent not to renew the loan after the current agreement expired
on August 1, 2008. The Bank asked the Company to seek for a new Bank to
pay off all the outstanding notes (balances of $2,968,068 and $2,988,012) and
has willingly issued a temporary extension for the notes to allow the Company to
find a new Bank to take over the above mentioned notes. Subsequently, a new Bank
has proposed the following terms:
The Bank will issue a contract for a revolving credit
line of $5,000,000 for the Company. The proposed terms of the agreement are for
the subjection of up to 85% of domestic accounts receivable assuming dilution is
not more than 5%.
Equipment Loan
The Company established a revolving line of credit of
$744,000 with a bank for acquisition of equipment for 58 months. Interest is
payable monthly at bank prime rate. The credit facilities are secured primarily
by equipment and fixtures. As of March 31, 2008 and 2007, the loan balances
totaled $738,606 and $659,840. Monthly principal payments of $11,377 with
interest payment started on April 30, 2008 and will end on January 31, 2012. The

In addition, the Company established a $1,000,000 term
loan with a bank for acquisition of equipment for five years. Interest is

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS
109”). Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax asset and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax asset and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the
enactment occurs. Deferred taxation is provided in full in respect of taxation
deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for
taxation and accounting purposes. Valuation allowances are established, when
necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.

NOTE L – LIQUIDITY AND BANK CREDIT
FACILITIES
As mentioned in Note I, if the current bank had not
allowed the Company time to seek financing with a new bank in order to pay off
the loan agreements that expired on August 1, 2008, the Company would have been
forced to attempt early collection of the domestic and foreign accounts
receivables. In the event the Company is unable to obtain the financing to
satisfy the outstanding notes, the Company does plan on using the accounts
receivable collections to pay off the notes. This action, if taken, will create
tremendous cash flow and liquidity problems for the Company in supporting its
continuing operations.
The Company has also initiated communications with
various financials institutions to evaluate other potential sources of funding.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
obtaining additional financing without the successful completion of the current
negotiations regarding the expired loan. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to obtain the
financing it is seeking.
