RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Therefore, we are disclosing all material risks herein and you should consider all of the risk factors discussed below, as well as the other information contained in this document. You should not invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment and you are not dependent on the funds you are investing.
Risk Factors Related to China US Events Corp.:
We may continue to lose money, and if we do not achieve profitability, we may not be able to continue our business.
We have, in our history, generated no revenues from operations, have incurred substantial expenses, and have sustained losses. In addition, we expect to continue to incur significant operating expenses. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, which may not occur. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. We expect to have quarter-to-quarter fluctuations in revenues, expenses, losses, and cash flow, some of which could be significant. Results of operations will depend upon numerous factors, some beyond our control, market acceptance of our products, and services and competition.
Our registered independent auditors issued a report for the year ended December 31, 2008 that contained a “going concern” explanatory paragraph.
Our registered independent auditors issued a report on their audit of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our notes to the financial statements disclose that the Cash flow of the Company has been absorbed in operating activities and they have incurred net losses for the period from October 23, 2008 (date of inception), to December 31, 2008, and have a working capital deficiency. In the event that funding from internal sources or from public or private financing is insufficient to fund the business at current levels, we will have to substantially cut back our level of spending which could substantially curtail our operations. The registered independent auditor’s report contains an explanatory paragraph indicating that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our going concern uncertainty may affect our ability to raise additional capital, and may also affect our relationships with suppliers and customers. Investors should carefully read the registered independent auditor’s report and examine our financial statements.
Added Costs Due to Being a Public Company
There is a substantial increase of costs to the Company as a result of being Public. These costs include, but are not limited to the cost of conducting a yearly audit of the financial condition and quarterly reviews of the Company, such cost can be in excess of $50,000 yearly. In addition, there can me additional legal costs associated with preparing all necessary filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory body, if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Act. There are also assorted other additional costs to the Company for being Public. As a result of all of these additional costs, the Company is likely to be less profitable if it does not generate enough revue to cover the additional costs.
10
Current Economic Conditions May Impact Our Commercial Success and Ability to Obtain Financing.
The current economic conditions could have a serious impact on the ability of the Company to sustain its viability. Due to the decrease in overall spending, there is a possibility that music production levels will decrease for the foreseeable future, resulting in less economic activity for the Company. Since we are a very small operation, we may not be able to attract enough music recording to sustain ourselves. In addition, due to the severe difficulty in obtaining credit in the current economic crisis, we may have trouble seeking out and locating additional funds if we so desire or require financing of our operations.
If we fail to develop new or expand existing customer relationships, our ability to grow our business will be impaired.
Our growth depends to a significant degree upon our ability to develop new customer relationships and to expand existing relationships. We cannot guarantee that new customers will be found or that any such new relationships will be successful when they are in place. Further, we have no guarantee that we will be able to make any sales with customers. Failure to develop and expand such relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We are dependent on our key personnel for sales and marketing, and if we lose those personnel, our business would fail.
Our future success depends, in significant part, upon the continued service of our management. Hengyu Liu, our Sole Executive Officer and Sole Director at this point in time (our management) has developed the many contacts and relationships that would enable the Company to conduct sales. The Company does not have any employees and only a part-time president and chief financial officer and creative Director. These individual presently are the only persons who have the experience to market and sell the products for the Company. If these individuals were no longer willing to function in that capacity, the Company would be negatively affected. We do not maintain key man life insurance covering them. Our future success also depends on our ability to try to attract and retain highly qualified sales and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may experience difficulties in attracting the required number and caliber of such individuals. If we were unable to hire and retain personnel in key positions, our business could fail. As a result, we might incur substantially more expenses than income and might not have enough resources to fund growth that may be commercially viable.
Some of our competitors may be able to use their financial strength to dominate the market, which may affect our ability to generate revenues.
Some of our competitors may be much larger companies than us and very well capitalized and experienced in sales and marketing. They could choose to use their greater resources to finance their continued participation and penetration of this market, which may impede our ability to generate sufficient revenue to cover our costs. Their better financial resources could allow them to significantly out spend us in sales and marketing areas. We might not be able to maintain our ability to compete in this circumstance.
11
We will need additional capital to allow us to expand our business plan to implement our sales and marketing plans and such financing may be unavailable or too costly.
Our ability to continue our sales and marketing strategies is dependent on our ability to secure financing and allocate sufficient funds required to support our marketing activity. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, or even at all. If we raise additional funds by selling stock, the percentage ownership of our then current stockholders will be reduced. If we cannot raise adequate funds to satisfy our capital requirements, we may have to limit our operations significantly. Our ability to raise additional funds may diminish if the public equity markets become less supportive of the industry. If we raise additional capital through debt offerings, it will have a significant impact on our cash flow.
We do not have any signed agreements or contracts to engineer or manufacture our products.
While the Company believes it has a viable business plan, our ability is dependant on agreements with organizations as above. While we have not secured any firm commitments, we feel confident that with the identifiable engineering/manufacturing worldwide it is probable that one or numerous companies may enter into a relationship that will allow us to follow our business plan. Our model takes into consideration that most of the companies we will attempt to contract have little or no marketing in the United States. We offer at no direct cost the potential of substantial revenues.
Risks Related to Offering:
Management and Major Shareholders beneficially owns approximately 100% of our common stock and their interest could conflict with yours.
After the completion of this offering, management will continue to own a majority of the shares issued and outstanding and such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, which may be to the benefit of the Directors and executive officers, but not in the interest of the shareholders.
Our Management and Major Shareholders currently own approximately 100% of our issued and outstanding shares.
Our Management and Major Shareholders currently own approximately 100% of our issued and outstanding shares. As a result, our Management and Major Shareholder’s can effectively determine the outcome of any vote of shareholders. Your shares have virtually no say in any and all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of Directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Such concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, which may be to the benefit of the Directors and executive officers, but not in the interest of the shareholders.
Our Principal Accounting/Financial Officer lacks meaningful accounting/financial experience.
Our Principal Accounting/Financial Officer, Hengyu Liu, lacks any meaningful experience in accounting and experience in dealing with financial issues in a public company. The lack of meaningful experience can have a detrimental effect on the ability of China US Events Corp. to complete or accurately report its financial status. This lack of meaningful experience can also result in accounting difficulties and possibly the inability of China US Events Corp. to comply with reporting requirements in a timely fashion.
12
Future sales of common stock by our existing shareholders could adversely affect our stock price.
As of April 10, 2009, China US Events Corp. has 3,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of which approximately none are included on this Registration Statement. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock contained in the Registration Statement in the public market, or the perception that such sales will occur, could have a materially negative effect on the market price of our common stock. This problem would be exacerbated if we continue to issue common stock in exchange for services.
We expect to issue additional stock in the future to finance our business plan, and the potential dilution caused by the issuance of stock in the future may cause the price of our common stock to drop.
As of April 10, 2009, China US Events Corp. has 3,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Subsequent to the effective date of this offering, we may need to raise additional capital, which may then result in the issuance of additional shares of common stock, or debt instruments. Shares may be issued under an available exemption, a later registration statement, or both. If and when additional shares are issued, it may cause dilution in the value of shares purchased in this offering and may cause the price of our common stock to drop. These factors could also make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of common stock.
We may not be able to obtain a trading market for your shares.
Trading in our common stock, if any, is intended to be conducted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board operated by the NASD, if and when, we obtain a listing. We will make an application to the NASD to list these shares on the OTC Bulletin Board operated by the NASD. Because we may not be able to obtain or maintain a listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, your shares may be more difficult to sell. However, if we are unable to qualify for this listing, or if we will become unable to maintain our listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, we believe that our stock will trade on over-the-counter market in the so-called “pink sheets.” Consequently, selling your common stock would be more difficult because only smaller quantities of stock could be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and security analysts' and news media's coverage of China US Events Corp. may be reduced. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our stock.
It is more difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares because we are not, and may never be, eligible for NASDAQ or any National Stock Exchange.
We are not presently, nor is it likely that for the foreseeable future we will be, eligible for inclusion in NASDAQ or for listing on any United States national stock exchange. To be eligible to be included in NASDAQ, a company is required to have not less than $4,000,000 in net tangible assets, a public float with a market value of not less than $5,000,000, and a minimum bid price of $4.00 per share. At the present time, we are unable to state when, if ever, we will meet the NASDAQ application standards. Unless we are able to increase our net worth and market valuation substantially, either through the accumulation of surplus out of earned income or successful capital raising financing activities, we will never be able to meet the eligibility requirements of NASDAQ. As a result, it will more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or otherwise, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and market price of our common stock.
13
Our Common Stock Is A “Penny Stock” And Compliance With Requirements For Dealing In Penny Stocks May Make It Difficult For Holders Of Our Common Stock To Resell Their Shares.
Currently there is no public market for our common stock. If the common stock is ever listed in the public market in what is known as the over-the-counter market and at least for the foreseeable future, our common stock will be deemed to be a “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 15g-2 under the Exchange Act requires broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain from these investors a manually signed and dated written acknowledgement of receipt of the document before effecting a transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or otherwise, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and market price of our common stock.
Penny stocks are stocks with a price of less than $5.00 per share unless traded on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange.
Penny stock are also stocks, which are issued by companies with:
Net tangible assets of less than $2.o million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years); or
$5.0 million (if continuous operation for less than three years); or
average revenue of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.
Risks of leverage and debt service requirements may hamper our ability to operate and grow our revenues.
The Company's debt-to-equity ratio is likely to be high at the commencement of operations due to the requirement of borrowing funds to continue operations. High leverage creates risks, including the risk of default as well as operating and financing constraints likely to be imposed by prospective lenders. The interest expense associated with the Company's anticipated debt burden may be substantial and may create a significant drain on the Company's future Cash flow, especially in the early years of operation. Any such operating or financing constraints imposed by the Company's lenders as well as the interest expense created by the Company's debt burden could place the Company at a disadvantage relative to other better capitalized service providers and increase the impact of competitive pressures within the Company's markets.
There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in implementing its business plan and we may fail in our marketing efforts.
Investors can have no assurances that the Company will be able to raise funds from other sources to complete its business plan.
14
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to us from the sale of up to 2,000,000 shares offered at a public offering price of $0.04 per share will vary depending upon the total number of shares sold. Regardless of the number of shares sold, we expect to incur offering expenses estimated at approximately $20,000 for legal, accounting, and other costs in connection with this offering. The table below shows the intended net proceeds from this offering we expect to receive for scenarios where we sell various amounts of the shares. Since we are making this offering without any minimum requirement, there is no guarantee that we will be successful at selling any of the securities being offered in this prospectus. Accordingly, the actual amount of proceeds we will raise in this offering, if any, may differ.

We intend to use the proceeds of this offering in the manner and in order of priority set forth above. We do not intend to use the proceeds to acquire assets or finance the acquisition of other businesses. At present, no material changes are contemplated. Should there be any material changes in the projected use of proceeds in connection with this offering, we will issue an amended prospectus reflecting the new uses.
In all instances, after the effectiveness of this registration statement, the Company will need some amount of working capital to maintain its general existence and comply with its public reporting obligations. In addition to changing allocations because of the amount of proceeds received, we may change the use of proceeds because of required changes in our business plan. Investors should understand that we have wide discretion over the use of proceeds. Therefore, management decisions may not be in line with the initial objectives of investors who will have little ability to influence these decisions.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange and we have not applied for listing or quotation on any public market. Our Company will be offering the shares of common stock being covered by this prospectus at a price of $0.04 per share. Such offering price does not have any relationship to any established criteria of value, such as book value or earnings per share. Because we have no significant operating history and have not generated any revenues to date, the price of our common stock is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of our common stock indicative of the current market value of the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business and potential business expansion.
The offering price was determined arbitrarily based on a determination by the Board of Directors of the price at which they believe investors would be willing to purchase the shares. Additional factors that were included in determining the offering price are the lack of liquidity resulting from the fact that there is no present market for our stock and the high level of risk considering our lack of profitable operating history.
DILUTION
Purchasers of our securities in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of their common stock from the initial public offering price. The historical net tangible book value as of December 31, 2008 was $(.29) or nil per share. Historical net tangible book value per share of common stock is equal to our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2008, as adjusted to give effect to the receipt of net proceeds from the sale of 2,000,000 shares of common stock for $0.04, which represents net proceeds after deducting estimated offering expenses of $20,000. This represents an immediate increase of $0.012 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate and substantial dilution of $0.028 per share, or approximately 70%, to new investors purchasing our securities in this offering. Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of our common stock in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following this offering.
The following table sets forth as of April 10, 2009, the number of shares of common stock purchased from us and the total consideration paid by our existing stockholders and by new investors in this offering if new investors purchase 100% of the offering, before deducting offering expenses payable by us, assuming a purchase price in this offering of $0.04 per share of common stock.

BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 23, 2008. We filed a Certificate of Amendment to change our name on February 10, 2009. We have not started operations. We are developing a website (www.chinausevents.com) that will offer jet chartering and other travel related services primarily to western business executives within Asia. We have not generated any revenues and the only operation we have engaged in is the development of a business plan. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at 1811 Silverside Rd Wilmington, DE 19810. Our business office is located at Xiang Nan Road No. 39 Building 6 #302 Pu Dong District, Shanghai, China 200127. Our telephone number is (86) 131672-51162.
We have no plans to change our planned business activities or to combine with another business, and we are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause these plans to change. We have not begun operations and will not begin operations until we have completed this offering. Our plan of operation is prospective and there is no assurance that we will ever begin operations. Our prospects for profitability are not favorable if you consider numerous Internet-based companies have failed to achieve profits with similar plans.
We have not conducted any market research into the likelihood of success of our operations or the acceptance of our products or services by the public.
Services
We intend to position ourselves as the premier jet charter booking service for the western executive traveler and the leisure traveler with jet chartering needs within Asia. Our target market will be made up of business executives and leisure travelers that would like to use our website for Asian jet charter booking, itinerary support, relevant decision making information, pictures, toll free services, etc all in one convenient place.
We plan to assign an experienced travel concierge who is continually standing by to ensure that every aspect of our customer’s journey, even a last-minute trip, exceeds their expectations. Our focus will be on the customer’s schedule, the speed and precision at which they need things done, and the impeccable attention to detail to which upper end clients demand.
We do not own any jets and do not have plans to own jets. We will only offer booking services for pre-existing jet charter companies.
We intend to offer the following services:
* | Jet Charter Booking |
* | Trip Itinerary Planning |
* | Customized Tours |
* | Air and Ground Transportation |
* | Hotel/Resort arrangements |
17
* | Concierge Service |
* | Leisure Activities Coordination |
* | Event Referral and Tickets |
* | Dinners and Spa Referral and Reservations |
* | Event and Conference Planning |
* | Sales Conferences |
* | Executive Meetings |
* | Training Seminars |
We will assist in organizing meetings and conferences. We will assist in site selection, room reservations, transportation and all other aspects of the meetings as required.
We will book all aspects of the corporate and leisure travel for our clients and will create a database of information that will enable us to immediately identify the client's personal preferences. Our goal is not only to meet the travel needs of our clients, it is to anticipate them.
Website
Currently our website is undeveloped. We do not intend to initiate the development of our website until this offering is completed.
Upon completion of our public offering, we intend to hire an outside technology provider to develop our website. The IT company we hire will provide the following services and products for the website: disk space, bandwidth, 155 mbit backbone, pop mailboxes, e-mail forwarding, e-mailing aliasing, auto responder, Microsoft ASP and NET support, unlimited FTP access, hotmetal/miva script, shopping cart, secure transactions signio support and cybercash support. The foregoing will allow us to transact the sale of our products/services, promote our products/services in an attractive fashion, and communicate with our clients on-line.
Our website will become the virtual business card and portfolio for us as well as our online "home." It will showcase past and current clients, subject to their consent, and the variety of services that we offer.
The website will further exhibit links to the service providers that we have entered into strategic alliances with. The links would provide the client with a virtual view of the destinations that we represent and events taking place in the area they are intending to visit. In the future, the website may also offer links to Asian restaurants and spas.
We believe that the lack of financial security on the Internet has been hindering economic activity. To ensure the security of transactions occurring over the Internet, U.S. federal regulations require that any computer software used within the United States contain a 128-bit encoding encryption, while any computer software exported to a foreign country contain a 40-bit encoding encryption.
18
There is uncertainty as to whether the 128-bit encoding encryption required by the U.S. is sufficient security for transactions occurring over the Internet. Accordingly, there is a danger that any financial (credit card) transaction via the Internet will not be a secure transaction. We are now considering risks such as the loss of data or loss of service on the Internet from technical failure or criminal acts in our system specifications and in the security precautions in the development of our website. There is no assurance that such security precautions will be successful.
Other than investigating potential technologies in support of our business purpose and the preparation of our plan of operations, we have had no material business operations since inception in October 2008. At present, we have yet to acquire or develop the necessary technology assets in support of our business purpose to become an Internet-based service provider of luxury travel to corporate clients, business executives and other professionals.
The Internet is a worldwide medium of interconnected electronic and/or computer networks. Individuals and companies have recently recognized that the communication capabilities of the Internet provide a medium for not only the promotion and communication of ideas and concepts, but also for the presentation and sale of information, goods and services.
Marketing Strategy
We intend to negotiate strategic alliances with the larger jet charter companies. While most of these companies have their own websites for booking jet chartering to Asia, few, if any, specialize in jet chartering within Asia.
We intend on developing working relationships with the top-rated air charter carriers in the U.S., giving us the ability to match our customer’s itinerary with the world's finest luxury jets and most experienced air and ground crews. When it comes to safety and service, we intend to only form relationships with the safest charter companies.
We intend on developing strong strategic relationships with large Chinese travel agents as referrals from these agents may generate a strong customer base. We expect this to be a commission based referral program.
We intend to capitalize on several upcoming events in China including:
· | 2010 Shanghai World Trade Fair |
· | Annual Guangdong jewelry and furniture trade shows |
We also intend to negotiate strategic alliances with Asian resorts and restaurants. We will offer direct advertising of those resorts that we enter into strategic alliances with through a link on our website, through flyers and promotional material that we create, and through personal selling in exchange for a commission based percentage of the sale of rooms, tours or other services booked by a client introduced by us.
We plan to attend industry trade shows that are oriented towards creating opportunities for us to develop important strategic alliances with luxury properties in China. This would be an opportunity to meet and network with hundreds of luxury service providers.
19
Initially we intent to aggressively court the key database of corporate contacts provided by our President, Hengyu Liu in order to attract initial clients and strategic partners. We also intend to attract and add new clients through our website.
Other methods of communication will include:
* | Email mailings - regular e-mailings to potential customers with updated company information and special offers |
* | Direct mail - brochures and newsletters |
* | Sampling - occasionally a discounted service package may be offered as a trade-in-kind to a visible and vocal trendsetter such as an advertising agent for a magazine or radio station. |
* | Informal marketing/networking - activities such as joining organizations or attending tradeshows and conferences. |
Customer-based marketing will include:
* | Emphasizing repeat sales to clients who have used our services |
* | Exploring additional sales tactics to increase the total revenue per client through the sale of extra services |
* | Additional sales facilitated by links to our website |
* | Strategic partnerships such as cooperative advertising |
* | Special offers and promotions such as limited time offers or seasonal promotions. |
Website Marketing Strategy
Web marketing will start with our known contacts whom we will ask to recommend our site. We will continue the strategy with long-term efforts to develop recognition in professional forums. We intend to attract traffic to our website by a variety of online marketing tactics such as registering with top search engines using selected key words (meta tags) and utilizing link and banner exchange options, especially with Chinese travel agents catering to western professionals.
Revenue
Initially, we intend to generate revenue from two sources:
By entering into strategic alliances with jet charter companies, resorts and hotels to receive a percentage based commission of travel package or room booking generated by us;
By charging a fee to the customer for arranging travel assistance and/or concierge service.
We intend to develop and maintain a database of all our clients so that we can anticipate their personal preferences in specific airlines, types of restaurants, type of recreational activities etc. That database will enable us to anticipate the needs and desires of our clients.
20
Competition
The electronic commerce market is intensely competitive. The market for information resources is more mature but also intensely competitive. We expect competition to continue to intensify in the future. Competitors include companies with substantial customer bases in the computer and other technical fields. There can be no assurance that we can maintain a competitive position against current or future competitors, particularly those with greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources. Our failure to maintain a competitive position within the market could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and competitive pressures faced by us may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Most hotels and resorts have their own websites and upon initiating our website operations, we will be competing with the foregoing. We intend to differentiate ourselves by offering a much more personalized service. We will handle all aspects of the travel arrangements - air travel, hotel accommodations, car rental, limousine pick-up, floral arrangements, dinner, tickets for theater productions or shows, having your suit or dress pressed, down to ensuring that a specific brand of water is available in the room. We intend to act as a personal concierge or executive assistant throughout the duration of the trip.
The travel market is a small niche market and may be difficult to penetrate. Our competitive position within the industry is negligible in light of the fact that we have not started our operations. Older, well-established travel agencies with records of success will attract qualified clients away from us. Since we have not started operations, we cannot compete with them on the basis of reputation. We do expect to compete with them on the basis of the range of services and the quality of services that we intend to provide.
Hengyu Liu, our president will be devoting approximately 15 hours a week of his time to our operations. Once we begin operations, and are able to attract more and more clients to use our services, Mr. Liu has agreed to commit more time as required. Because Mr. Liu will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to our officers and directors. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or suspended which could result in a lack of revenues and a cessation of operations.
Marketing
We intend to market our website in Asia, the United States and in Canada through traditional sources such as trade magazines, conventions and conferences, newspaper advertising, billboards, telephone directories and flyers/mailers. We also intend to attend tradeshows and conferences. We may utilize inbound links that connect directly to our website from other sites. Potential clients can simply click on these links to become connected to our website from search engines and community and affinity sites.
Insurance
We do not maintain any insurance and do not intend to maintain insurance in the future. Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party of a products liability action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations.
21
Employees; Identification of Certain Significant Employees.
We are a development stage company and currently have no employees, other than our sole officer and director. We intend to hire additional employees on an as needed basis.
Offices
Our offices are located at:
Xiang Nan Road No. 39 Building 6 #302
Pu Dong District, Shanghai, China 200127
Telephone: (86) 131672-51162
This is the apartment of our president, Hengyu Liu in China. We use this apartment in consideration of the payment of $50 per month. This payment is due to commence with the filing of this Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission or April 1, 2009, whichever is first.
Government Regulation
We are not currently subject to direct Chinese, federal, state or local regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses generally or directly applicable to electronic commerce. However, the Internet is increasingly popular. As a result, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet. These laws may cover issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, content and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. Furthermore, the growth of electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws. Several states have proposed legislation to limit the uses of personal user information gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies.
We are not certain how business may be affected by the application of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights, encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity and export or import matters. The vast majority of such laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet. As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Changes in laws intended to address such issues could create uncertainty in the Internet market place. Such uncertainty could reduce demand for services or increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service delivery costs. In addition, because our services are available over the Internet in multiple states and foreign countries, other jurisdictions may claim that we are required to qualify to do business in each such state or foreign country. We are qualified to do business only in Delaware. Our failure to qualify in a jurisdiction where it is required to do so could subject it to taxes and penalties. It could also hamper our ability to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions. The application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws currently apply to our business could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Other than the foregoing, no governmental approval is needed for the sale of our services.
22
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.
INFLATION
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on the Company’s operations or its financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The office of the Company is located at Xiang Nan Road No. 39 Building 6 #302 Pu Dong District, Shanghai, China 200127, the Apartment of our Sole Executive Officer. Our space consists of 100 square feet. We are not charged rent for the use of this space. The space is sufficient for the uses of the Company until operations begin, when we may have to occupy office space.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following is our plan of operation for the following 12 months, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing in this Prospectus.
China US Events Corp. is developing a website (www.chinausevents.com) that will offer jet chartering and other travel related services primarily to western business executives within China.
Plans for the next 12 months
The source of additional liquidity would come from sales. Internally, as we slowly increase sales, we would be able to increase the marketing operations. This would increase the short-term liquidity of the Company
There are no known trends, events, or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s short-term or long-term liquidity, other than the inability to sell our services.
The Company does not expect to significantly increase its employees in the next fiscal year.
The Company has never filed for Bankruptcy protection

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
MARKET INFORMATION
There has been no market for our securities. Our common stock is not traded on any exchange or on the over-the-counter market. After the effective date of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, we hope to have a market maker file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, FINRA for our common stock to eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. We do not yet have a market maker who has agreed to file such application. There is no assurance that a trading market will develop, or, if developed, that it will be sustained. Consequently, a purchaser of our common stock may find it difficult to resell the securities offered herein should the purchaser desire to do so when eligible for public resale.
SECURITY HOLDERS
As of April 10, 2009, there were 3,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which were held by three stockholders of record.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not declared or paid dividends on our common stock since our formation, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Declaration or payment of dividends, if any, in the future, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our then current financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare or pay dividends.

From July 2001 to February 2002, Mr. Liu was Asia Business Project Manager for Hewlett Packard China.
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. Further, because we have no operations, at the present time, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Conflicts of Interest
There are no conflicts of interest. Further, we have not established any policies to deal with possible future conflicts of interest.

OPTION/SAR GRANTS
We do not currently have a stock option plan. No individual grants of stock options, whether or not in tandem with stock appreciation rights known as SARs or freestanding SARs have been made to any executive officer or any Director since our inception; accordingly, no stock options have been granted or exercised by any of the officers or Directors since we were founded.
25
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLANS AND AWARDS
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance. No individual grants or agreements regarding future payouts under non-stock price-based plans have been made to any executive officer or any Director or any employee or consultant since our inception; accordingly, no future payouts under non-stock price-based plans or agreements have been granted or entered into or exercised by our officer or Director or employees or consultants since we were founded.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
There are no arrangements pursuant to which our Director is or will be compensated in the future for any services provided as a Director.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT,
CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
There are currently no employment agreements or other contracts or arrangements with our officers or Directors. There are no compensation plans or arrangements, including payments to be made by us, with respect to our officers, Directors or consultants that would result from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of any of our Directors, officers or consultants. There are no arrangements for our Directors, officers, employees or consultants that would result from a change-in-control.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND FINANCIAL EXPERT
We do not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert. Our corporate financial affairs are simple at this stage of development and each financial transaction can be viewed by any officer or Director at will. The policy of having no committee will change if the constitution of one such becomes necessary as a result of growth of the Company or as mandated by public policy.
CODE OF ETHICS
We do not currently have a Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers; however, the Company plans to implement such a code in the first quarter of 2009.
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent Directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our Directors have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, in essence their own, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executives or Directors.
26
INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not aware of any material legal proceedings that have occurred within the past five years concerning any Director, Director nominee, or control person which involved a criminal conviction, a pending criminal proceeding, a pending or concluded administrative or civil proceeding limiting one's participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.
CERTAIN RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Company issued 1,000,000 shares to Shumei Jin, for services rendered and to be rendered to the Company in becoming publicly traded, and for advancing a total of up to $7,000 on behalf of the Company,for a value of $7,000 or $0.007 per share.

The following table is based upon an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock outstanding as of April 10, 2009.

(1) Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. In accordance with SEC rules, shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which become exercisable within 60 days following the date of the information in this table are deemed to be beneficially owned by, and outstanding with respect to, the holder of such option or warrant. Except as indicated by footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, to our knowledge, each person listed is believed to have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock owned by such person.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are offering for sale a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock in a self-underwritten offering directly to the public at a price of $0.04 per share. There is no minimum amount of shares that we must sell in our direct offering, and therefore no minimum amount of proceeds will be raised. No arrangements have been made to place funds into escrow or any similar account. Upon receipt, offering proceeds will be deposited into our operating account and used to conduct our business and operations. We are offering the shares without any underwriting discounts or commissions. The purchase price is $0.04 per share. If all 2,000,000 shares are not sold within 180 days from the date hereof, (which may be extended an additional 90 days in our sole discretion), the offering for the balance of the shares will terminate and no further shares will be sold.
Our offering price of $0.04 per share was arbitrarily decided upon by our management and is not based upon earnings or operating history, does not reflect our actual value, and bears no relation to our earnings, assets, book value, net worth, or any other recognized criteria of value. No independent investment banking firm has been retained to assist in determining the offering price for the shares. Such offering price was not based on the price of the issuance to our founders. Accordingly, the offering price should not be regarded as an indication of any future price of our stock.
28
We anticipate applying for trading of our common stock on the over-the-counter (OTC) Bulletin Board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. To have our securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board we must: (1) be a company that reports its current financial information to the Securities and Exchange Commission, banking regulators or insurance regulators; and (2) has at least one market maker who completes and files a Form 211 with NASD Regulation, Inc. The OTC Bulletin Board differs substantially from national and regional stock exchanges because it (1) operates through communication of bids, offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, rather than one centralized market or exchange; and, (2) securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more broker-dealers rather than “specialists” which operate in stock exchanges. We have not yet engaged a market maker to assist us to apply for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and we are not able to determine the length of time that such application process will take. Such time frame is dependent on comments we receive, if any, from the NASD regarding our Form 211 application.
There is currently no market for our shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that a market for our common stock will be established or that, if established, such market will be sustained. Therefore, purchasers of our shares registered hereunder may be unable to sell their securities, because there may not be a public market for our securities. As a result, you may find it more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate quotes of our common stock. Any purchaser of our securities should be in a financial position to bear the risks of losing their entire investment.
We intend to sell the shares in this offering through Hengyu Liu an officer of the Company. He will receive no commission from the sale of any shares. They will not register as a broker-dealer under section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer's securities and not be deemed to be a broker/dealer. The conditions are that:
1. The person is not statutorily disqualified, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his participation; and,
2. The person is not compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities;

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, our Directors, or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for damages for breach of such Director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate our right and our stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover damages against a Director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a Director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as Directors and officers.
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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
China US Events, Inc. fka Hengyu Liu Corp.
Shanghai, China
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of China US Events, Inc. fka Hengyu Liu Corp. (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period October 23, 2008 (inception) through December 31, 2008. 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 audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of China US Events, Inc. fka Hengyu Liu Corp. (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and cash flows for period October 23, 2008 (inception) through December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has limited operations and has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF THE BUSINESS
China Us Events Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 23, 2008, under the name Hengyu Liu Corp. On February 23, 2009, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation and changed its name to China US Events Corp. The Company is developing a website (www.chinausevents.com) that will offer jet chartering and other travel related services primarily to western business executives within China. The Company currently has no operations and, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises," is considered a Development Stage Enterprise.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the statement of financial condition in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting basis and tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company does not have cash or any material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company will offer non-cash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. In the event that funding from internal sources or from public or private financing is insufficient to fund the business at current levels, the Company will have to substantially cut back its level of spending which could substantially curtail its operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining funding in order to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - OFFICER ADVANCES
The Company has incurred costs while trying to start business. An officer of the Company has advanced funds on behalf of the Company to pay for these costs and other de minims operating costs the Company may have incurred. These funds have been advanced interest free. As of December 31, 2008 the Company owed the officer $21,371.
NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock
As of December 31, 2008 the Company has 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and 3,000,000 shares issued and outstanding at par value $0.0001 per share. The 3,000,000 shares were issued to three founding shareholders at October 23, 2008.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees, and Agents.
Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, our Directors, or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for damages for breach of such Director's or officer's fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, is to eliminate our right and our stockholders (through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover damages against a Director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a Director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as Directors and officers.
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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

39
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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(c) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

Gentlemen:
You have requested my opinion as counsel for China US Events Corp., a New York corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, of 2,000,000 shares issued pursuant to a private placement and offered by the Selling shareholders, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”).
For purposes of this opinion, I have examined the Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the date hereof, including the prospectus, which is a part thereof (the “Prospectus”) and the exhibits thereto. I have also been furnished with and have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of all such records of the Company, agreements, and other instruments, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company, certificates of public officials, and other documents as I have deemed it necessary to require as a basis for the opinions hereafter expressed.
