- Because our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares. Our shares as penny stocks are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell the Company's securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making a sale. The imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices could adversely affect a shareholder's ability to dispose of his stock.
- This offering is being conducted on a "self-writing" basis and all of the funds obtained may go solely towards offering expenses. No minimum amount is required to be sold in this offering. Our officer and director on a "self-writing" basis are selling this offering. This means no professional broker or dealer is involved in the offering of our shares and substantially increases the risk that we may be unable to sell all of our shares and therefore be unable to pay our offering expenses. Since we are not required to sell any minimum amount in this offering, we may be unable to obtain sufficient funds to become a viable company and may lose your entire investment.

As the four tables above indicate:
- We will not have sufficient funds to commence operations unless substantially all of the 2,500,000 common shares being offered by us are purchased.
- In the event we only sell 250,000 of our common shares we would be unable to pay our attorneys, accountants, electronic filing and printing expenses out of the proceeds of this offering and would owe $2,000 to such individuals and entities. In addition, we would have to liquidate substantially all of our assets to make
We have estimated that we will have approximately $5,100 additional working capital if all of the 2,500,000 common shares being offered by us are sold. These funds will be used solely for unanticipated expenses and contingencies including additional legal fees, accounting fees, regulatory filing fees, or EDGAR formatting fees or, in the event we do not incur any unanticipated expenses and contingencies, for software development. This money may or may not be enough to run the business until additional financing can be obtained. If it is not enough we will be forced to look for more funding. No arrangements have been made for this funding.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of this issue was set in a purely arbitrary manner. We determined the amount of money needed to start the business; added a contingency amount; and allowed for our printing, legal and accounting costs. We also took into account the resultant number of shares in the "float" (i.e. the number of shares available to be traded). The final consideration was our perceived market capitalization or the theoretical total worth of the shares of Avatar Ventures Corp. if they were all sold at a specific price at the same time.
DILUTION
Avatar Ventures Corp., prior to this offering has 4,500,000 shares of stock issued and outstanding.
The following table illustrates the difference between the price paid by present shareholders and the price to be paid by subscribers to this offering.
| Average price paid | Average price paid subscription (50% subscription) | Percentage of Consideration (100% subscription) | Percentage of Shares held (50% subscription) | Percentage of Shares held (100% subscription) | Number of shares issued | Total Consideration |
Present Shareholders | $0.001 | 33.61% | 20.45% | 83.43% | 73.12% | 4,500,000 | $4,500 |
Investors in this Offering | $0.01 | 66.39% | 79.55% | 16.57% | 26.88% | 2,500,000 | $30,000 |
The following table will show the net tangible value of the shares before and after shares are subscribed in this offering:
| Before Offering | After 50% of Offering | After 100% of Offering |
Net Tangible Book Value per Share: | 0.001 | 0.00228 | 0.00323 |
Increase in Net Tangible Book Value for current investors | N/A | 0.00151 | 0.00265 |
Dilution factor to new investors | N/A | 0.00714 | 0.00692 |
The above table indicates that the net tangible book value of the Company is currently $0.001. If half of the this offering were subscribed to, you would lose $0.00758 value of the $0.01 you paid per share. If all of the offering were completed you would still lose $0.00692 per share of the $0.01 you invested.
"Dilution" means the difference between our public offering price of $0.01 per share and our pro forma net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our tangible net worth, consisting of tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The above table shows the net tangible book value of our shares both before and after the completion of this offering.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
General
We will attempt to sell a maximum of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to the public on a "self-written" basis. There can be no assurance that any of these shares will be sold. Our gross proceeds will be $25,000 if all the shares offered are sold. Neither we nor our officer or director, nor any other person, will pay commissions or other fees, directly or indirectly, to any person or firm in connection with solicitation of the sales of shares.
The following discussion addresses the material terms of the plan of distribution.
We are offering up to 2,500,000 of our common stock at a price of $0.01 per share to be sold by our executive officer, Ms. Zhen Chen. Since this offering will conducted as a self-written offering, there can be no assurance that any of the shares will be sold. If we fail to sell all the shares we are trying to sell, our ability to implement our business plan will be materially affected, and you may lose all or substantially all of your investment.
There is currently no market for any our shares and little likelihood that a public market for such securities will develop after the closing of this offering or be sustained if developed. As such, investors may not be able to readily dispose of any shares purchased in this offering.
Ms. Chen will restrict his participation to the following activities:
a) Preparing any written communication or delivering any communication through the mails or other means that does not involve oral solicitation by them of a potential purchaser;
b) Responding to inquiries of potential purchasers in a communication initiated by the potential purchasers, provided however, that the contents of response are limited to information contained in a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or other offering document;
c) Performing ministerial and clerical work involved in effecting any transaction.
Ms. Chen are fully aware of the provisions of Rule 3a4-1 under the Exchange Act and will conduct this offering in accordance with Rule 3a4-1, and will rely upon this rule. Should Ms. Chen conduct this offering in any way that violates Rule 3a4-1, both he and we could be subjected to enforcement proceedings, fines, and sanctions by the Securities and Exchange Commission and by the regulatory authorities of any state or province in which our securities are offered.
Ms. Chen may purchase securities in this offering along the same terms and conditions as other public investors.
No broker or dealer is participating in this offering. If, for some reason, our directors and shareholders were to determine that the participation of a broker or dealer is necessary, this offering will be promptly amended by a post effective amendment to disclose the details of this arrangement, including the fact that the broker or dealer is acting as an underwriter of this offering. This amendment would also detail the proposed compensation to be paid to any such broker or dealer. The post effective amendment would also extend an offer of rescission to any investors who subscribed to this offering before the broker or dealer was named. In addition to the foregoing requirements, we would be required to file any such amendment with the Corporate Finance Department of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and to obtain from them a "no objection" position from that organization on the fairness of the underwriting compensation. We would have to amend our filings at the state and provincial level.
The offering will remain open for a period until ______, 2007 or 180 day from the date of this prospectus, unless the entire gross proceeds are earlier received or we decide, in our sole discretion, to cease selling efforts.
The sales price to the public is fixed at $0.01 per share until such time as the shares of our common stock become traded on the Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or another exchange. If our common stock becomes quoted on the Bulletin Board or another exchange, then the sales price to the public will vary according to the selling decisions of the market's buyers and sellers and the market for our stock at the time of resale. In these circumstances, the sales price to the public may be:
| 1. | The market price of our common stock prevailing at the time of sale; |
| 2. | A price related to such prevailing market price of our common stock; or |
| 3. | Such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to time. |
Of the 4,500,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of July 31, 2007, 4,500,000 shares were owned by our officers and directors.
We have not declared any cash dividends, nor do we intend to do so. We are not subject to any legal restrictions respecting the payment of dividends, except that they may not be paid to render us insolvent. Dividend policy will be based on our cash resources and needs and it is anticipated that all available cash will be needed for our operations in the foreseeable future.

BUSINESS
Overview
Avatar Ventures Corp. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 17, 2006. Avatar intends to be a developer of aftermarket electronic accessories for consumer motor vehicles. The Company's first product in development is a cellular phone car adapter which enables to cellular text messages and wireless emails to be displayed on a small LCD screen attached to the car's dashboard area. Text message and emails received by the user's cellular phone will be wirelessly transmitted to the car adapter via Bluetooth technology. We expect that a working, prototype will be completed by the end of April 2008. We currently have not advanced beyond the business plan state from our inception until the date of this filing. We plan to raise initial seed financing through the sale of our common shares as described in this offering. The initial seed financing will be put towards designing and writing software, and paying for costs related to registering the Company's common stock for public sale. We anticipate that in order for us to begin commercialization and sale of the product, we will need to raise additional capital. We currently do not have any specific plans to raise these funds.
We do not intend to open any new stores; enter into any type of new business; or, purchase equipment or other assets in the next twelve month period following the date of this prospectus. From inception until the date of this filing, we have had no material operating activities. Our current cash balance is $5. We anticipate that our current cash balance will not satisfy our cash needs for the following twelve-month period. We are applying to become a public reporting company in order to raise initial seed financing for the Company's operations and to make the Company a more attractive investment candidate for prospective investors.

Principal Products or Services and Their Markets
This is the initial stage of our business. As of the date of this filing, we have not implemented our business plan.
Avatar intends to be a developer of aftermarket electronic accessories for consumer motor vehicles. The Company's first product in development is a cellular phone car adapter which enables to cellular text messages and wireless emails to be displayed on a small LCD screen attached to the car's dashboard area.
The car adapter will be seamlessly installed within the head unit of the car, so that it will be completely hidden from the view of the driver or passengers. When the user's cellular phone receives a wireless text message or email via the cellular network, a software application installed on to the cell phone will automatically forward the message to the car adapter via wireless Bluetooth technology. The cellular message will then be forwarded and displayed onto a small LCD screen which is attached to the car's dashboard area. The user will be notified by a sound alert of a message and will then have a various set of voice activated commands to choose from to respond to the message. The device will also have speech recognition software installed so that a user can reply to a message or compose a new message via speech and totally hands free.
Initially, our product will support both the English and Chinese languages.
The initial market we plan to introduce our software to is the Chinese speaking market. The Company chose the Chinese market due to the president's familiarity with this market and also due to lower labor costs in hardware development. We plan to complete the prototype of the product by April 2008.
Competition

However, it is to the best knowledge of the Company that no such device currently exists for consumer level automobiles which has all of the functionality available in our proposed product .

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Caution about Forward-Looking Statements
This management's discussion and analysis or plan of operation should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of the Company for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2007. Because of the nature of a relatively new and growing company the reported results will not necessarily reflect the future.
This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
Plan of Operation For the Next Twelve Months
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this prospectus is to finish designing and building the prototype of our proposed product and to prepare for the commencement of business operations in Asia. The process may include, but not exclusively, activities such as:
1) Completing the development of a working prototype of our product. We expect to finish this by the end of April 2008.
2) Hiring an additional electrical engineer to support the development of our prototype. We expect to have hired a software engineer by the end of November 2007.
3) Designing and launching a promotional website to build awareness of our product. We expect to have a website launched for the public by the end of December 2007.
4) Approaching current automobile manufacturers to gage their interest in partnering with our Company regarding our proposed product. We expect to begin approaching automobile manufacturers by the end of April 2008.
5) Finding an appropriate manufacturer who is capable to handle the outsourcing of the production of our product. We expect to begin approaching factories and manufacturers by the end of April 2008.
6) Approaching suppliers and distributors to gain appropriate sales channels for our product. We expect to begin approaching suppliers and distributors by the end of April 2008.
-13-
We expect that we will begin retail sale and going live the product's official public launch by the end of August of 2008. We expect that our business operations will become profitable by the end of February of 2009.
We estimate that our current working capital position of approximately $5 will not be sufficient to meet our short-term cash needs for the next twelve-month period. We do not intend to open any new stores; enter into any type of new business; or, purchase equipment or other assets in the next twelve month period following the date of this prospectus.
We do not have sufficient funds on hand to continue our organizational and research activities, our cash reserves are not sufficient to commence operations of our business plan. As a result, we will need to seek additional funding in the near future for the initial capital requirements of commercializing our operations. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that we can obtain short-term loans from our director or shareholders, although no such arrangement has been made. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding through a loan from our director to meet our initial capital requirement needs.
If we are unable to raise the required financing, we may be delayed in commencing our business plan or we may have to cease operations.
If there is a need and we are unable to raise the required financing, we may be delayed in commencing our business plan.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. At each balance sheet date, management evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to accounts receivable, inventories, and deferred revenue. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and critical accounting policies that are most important in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and resu lts of operations are discussed below.

Each of our officers is elected by the board of directors to a term of one (1) year and serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until he or she is rAvatarved from office. The board of directors has no nominating, auditing or compensation committees.
The name, age and position of our present officers and directors are set forth below:
Name | Age | Position Held |

Zhen Chen | 29 | President, Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, and Director |

Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have an audit committee financial expert. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Avatar Ventures Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Avatar Ventures Corp. as of July 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the period from August 14, 2006 (inception) to July 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Avatar Ventures Corp. as of July 31, 2007, and the results of its operation and its cash flows for the period from August 14, 2006 (inception) to July 31, 2007 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 1 to the financial statements, the Compnay'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.

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations
Avatar Ventures Inc. was incorporated on August 17, 2006, under the laws of the state of Nevada, U.S.A. Operations started on that date.
Avatar Ventures Inc. is commencing operations as a developer of aftermarket electronic accessories for motor vehicles.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Foreign Currency Translation
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at the period end exchange rate, non-monetary assets are translated at historical exchange rates and all income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in income.Loss Per Share
Loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The respective carrying value of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial statements include cash, receivables, advances receivable, cheques issued in excess of cash, accounts payable and property obligations payable. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Unless otherwise noted, fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. Use of Estimates
font-family:"Times New Roman"">The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Financial Instruments
font-family:"Times New Roman"">The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments consisting of cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share', the basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed similar to basic net loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As at font-family:"Times New Roman"">July 31, 2007, diluted net loss per share is equivalent to basic net loss per share.
font-family:"Times New Roman"">
font-family:"Times New Roman"">Comprehensive Income
font-family:
"Times New Roman"">The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS 130), Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its Statement of Stockholders' Equity. Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
font-family:"Times New Roman"">
font-family:"Times New Roman"">The Company has no elements of "other comprehensive income" during the period ended July 31, 2007.
New Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards if currently adopted could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our officers and directors are indemnified as to personal liability as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") and our bylaws. Section 78,7502 of the NRS provides that a corporation may eliminate personal liability of an officer or director to the corporation or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer or director provided that such indemnification is limited if such party acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws allow us to indemnify our officers and directors up to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, but such indemnification is not automatic. Our bylaws provide that indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of a director or officer if a final adjudication by a court establishes that the director or officer's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.
Unless limited by our articles of incorporation (which is not the case with our articles of incorporation) a corporation must indemnify a director who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defence of any proceeding to which the director was a party because of being a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

ITEM 26. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
Since inception, the registrant has sold the following securities which were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
a) | In July 2007, we issued 4,500,000 shares of common stock to Zhen Chen; in consideration of $0.001 per share or a total of $4,500. |
We issued the foregoing 4,500,000 shares of common stock as restricted securities pursuant to Reg. S of the Securities Act of 1933 in that all of the sales took place outside the United States of America with non-US persons.
* All of the above offerings and sales of securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and have been issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. Our issuance complies with the requirements of a Regulation S offering. All of the above investors are normally resident outside of the United States; the transaction took place outside the U.S.; no directed selling efforts were made in the U.S. by Avatar Ventures Corp., any distributor, any affiliate or any person acting on behalf of the foregoing; the securities were offered and sold in a foreign directed offering to residents thereof.
No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The offerings and sales were made to a limited number of persons, all of whom were friends or associates of executive officers of Avatar Ventures Corp. in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to representations by the above-referenced persons, we have made independent determinations that all of the above-referenced persons were accredited or sophisticated investors, and that they were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment, and that they understood the speculative nature of their investment. Furthermore, all of the above-referenced persons were provided with access to our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant 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 the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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, the registrant 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| | |
| a. | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| | |
| b. | Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Not withstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (Section 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. |
| | |
| c. | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any 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. |
