ITEM 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Vanjia Corporation is a start-up
company incorporated in Texas on August 19, 2011. Our aim to build affordable housing in the city of Houston's designated HOPE
and Workforce neighborhoods. Our future homes will have a variety of floor plans, be energy efficient, and conveniently located.
We have already acquired a vacant lot in the Workforce neighborhoods. By providing affordable housing options, our future homes
will enrich the communities of Houston and revitalize the local economy.
PRODUCTS and SERVICES
Our product is to build affordable
homes in Houston’s designated Houston Hope and Work Force Neighborhoods. The Houston Hope and Work force neighborhoods were
created by the Houston Housing and Community Development Department (HHCD). The Houston HOPE Program strives to build strong and
stable communities. Houston HOPE provides financial assistance to potential home buyers who are in designated Houston HOPE areas.
We believe our future homes would be available for down payment assistance to our potential clients who meet the specific criteria
outlined by the HHCD.

applicants must demonstrate the ability to obtain a mortgage loan, demonstrate credit worthiness. The family's combined income
must be at or below 80% of the area's median income. Approved applicants must also complete eight hours of home buyer education

We will conduct affordable housing seminars
to educate and draw publicity to our future homes build in those designated neighborhoods. We intend to draw the attention of first-time
buyers to buy homes in the Hope of Workforce neighborhoods. The regular seminars will focus on home buyer education and related
topics. Home Buyer Education classes will strive to provide first time and repeat home buyers the information they need to make
decisions when buying a home.

HOUSTON HOPE PROGRAM
City
of Houston (City) Housing and Community Development Department (HCDD) has designed the Houston HOPE to provide financial assistance
to low-to-moderate income homebuyers who are in the Houston HOPE areas or any area/neighborhood designated by the Mayor of Houston
for revitalization. HCDD staff will administer Houston HOPE according to the policy and
procedures set forth in the administrative guidelines. Funding for Houston HOPE will be available through the HOME Investment Partnerships
(HOME) Program and the American Dream Down Payment Initiative (ADDI) Houston HOPE will provide direct financial assistance to offset
portions of the down payment, closing costs, pre-paid items and principal required for home purchase.,
MARKETING AND PROMOTION
We will employ several marketing
techniques to promote our homes during and after the building phase.
One marketing strategy will be
on the grassroots level through the use of "farming" in the targeted neighborhoods. The term "farming" implies
growing something. That's what you do when you farm your local neighborhoods. You plant the seeds of future business with potential
purchasers of our home homes in these targeted neighborhoods. The term "targeted neighborhoods "will be used to describe
neighborhoods in which the average income of the residences matches the eligibility requirements for the Houston HOPE program.
Approximately, 300-500 fliers will be printed, outlining the special features of these designated neighborhoods. We believe that
the fliers will not only convey the quality of our homes, but also briefly outline the financial options available to eligible
participants. We believe that the fliers will draw the attention of possible buyers, if ten percent of these filers will be posted
in community hubs such as local coffee shops, schoolyards and church lobbies.
Our staff will distribute the
remaining fliers on foot, spending several afternoons knocking on the doors of residences in targeted neighborhoods, as well as
residences already in designated HOPE and Workforce areas. Speaking with potential buyers directly is the best way to inform and
engage the communities. When speaking to residents, we will explain the Houston HOPE and Workforce programs, specifically mentioning
how these programs can benefit them as future owners of Vanjia Corporation. We will then outline in further detail the government
assistance option available to them. The government can offer up to $30,000 for down payments and unlike renting, home ownership
allows one to build up home equity. We understand that many of these low-income families are aging and facing mounting financial
pressures. By highlighting statistics like this, not only can we inform, but also inform potential buyers about the home-ownership
opportunities available to them.
We also plan to leverage the influence of community
leaders in the area. Churches present an excellent venue for reaching potential buyers as pastors have a large network and have
to concern for the well-being of their constituents. In low-income communities, life often centers around the church. Pastors are
usually aware of those members of their congregation who are in need of government-subsidized housing. By educating the Pastor
about the opportunities presented by Vanjia Corporation, we can easily reach and influence many potential buyers.

Another strategy will be to identify
veterans who have already received down payment assistance from the Veteran Administration. VA home loans are available to veterans
who meet specific eligibility requirements. Qualified veterans will have served at least 90 days of active duties and have not
been dishonorably discharged. If a veteran has served less than 90 days, but was discharged for a service-related disability they
may still qualify. Those surviving spouses who have not remarried and spouses of POW or MIA service personnel are qualified. In
addition to regular VA loans, there are VA loans available for qualifying disabled veterans are eligible for additional assistance
f qualified veterans. Veterans who are currently receiving VA home loans make excellent candidates for Vanjia Corporation as they
are able to receive up to $30,000 down payment on top of their current veteran eligibilities benefits. Once aware of the financial
opportunities available to them, veterans will realize that home ownership in Houston Hope and Workforce neighborhoods is in their
best interest.
Another strategy will be on the
working relationship between home builders and real estate agents. There is a strong incentive for real estate agents to refer
qualified buyers to our homes. Real estate agents will typically receive up to 3% commission once the transaction is completed.
By working together, we can expand our exposure and client base, while giving real estate agents a chance to increase their sales.
Our final strategy for marketing
and promoting our homes will be through regular visits to the Section 8 offices in Houston. The purpose of the visits will be to
educate Section 8 tenants about their housing options. Currently, Section 8 rental vouchers are for low to moderate-income families,
persons with disabilities, and senior citizens. Under the Section 8 program, the tenant usually pays around 30% of their rent and
the U.S. government subsidizes the rest in the form of a voucher. In some cases, however, tenants may be eligible for the government
to pay their entire monthly rent. Many Section 8 residents are unaware that they are able to convert their Sect. 8 rental vouchers
into a Sect. 8 home-ownership voucher. For more details about eligibility requirements and the conversion process, current Section
8 residents can schedule a meeting with their local Section 8 housing counselors.
HOME DESIGN AND DESIGN CENTERS
We are dedicated to providing
quality, well-designed homes meeting the demands of today’s home buyers. The product line offered depends upon many factors,
including the supply of existing housing and the demand for new housing in the general area. In order to ensure that we meet the
demand in the marketplace, we will conduct qualitative and quantitative market research, including consumer focus groups after
the effectiveness of this registration statement. This research will enable us to improve the linkage between the design of our
homes and the community development and meet the specific lifestyle demands of our targeted home buyer. Our sources of raw building
materials will mainly from local building material suppliers such as Home Depots, Lowe's. Home Depots and Lowe's are both publicly
traded companies. Home Depots and Lowe's do not set a minimum purchase requirement for building materials and home appliances for
homebuilders. We do not have any material contracts or exclusive agreements with Home Depots nor Lowe's.
Our product is designed to appeal to
the potential home buyers. We will use external consultants that we believe are experts in their field to help perfect our homes,
often utilizing experts with knowledge in regional architecture, exterior finishes and selections, or floor plan solutions that
give our product an added edge. We take a focus and design products not only specific to the city in which they will be built,
but to the individual neighborhood. Our aim is to provide each home with features that make it appeal to a specific lifestyle segment,
while giving the plan flexibility through options and/or elevation variety that will appeal to our home buyers. This will allow
our home buyers to feel as if we designed the house just for them.

COMPETITION
The home building industry is competitive.
We compete with numerous home builders of varying sizes, ranging from local to national in scope, some of which have better financial
resources than we have. We anticipate building homes in several community redevelopment neighborhoods with federal, state and cities
incentives to lessen the competition from other builders. Most custom builders do not want to build in targeted neighborhoods that
have ceilings on selling prices such as the Houston HOPE neighborhoods. We anticipate to build new single-family homes that sell
for $98,000 or more and duplexes that sell for $165,000 in these community redevelopment neighborhoods. We also face competition
from existing resale homes and, to a lesser extent, condominiums and rental housing. Competitions among local homebuilders are
based on a number of interrelated factors, including location, reputation, amenities, design, quality and price. Builders of new
homes compete not only for homebuyers, but also for quality of construction and workmanship, locations, financing, raw materials
and skilled subcontractors.
REGULATION AND ENVIRONMENT MATTERS
We are subject to various local,
state and federal statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning zoning, building design, construction and similar matters,
including local regulations which impose restrictive zoning and density requirements. City of Houston does not have zoning laws
but it enforces deed restrictions in certain neighborhoods. We anticipate to complying with applicable building codes and zoning
laws in our remodeling and building activities. As of December 31, 2014, compliance with such ordinances and related matters has
not materially affected our operations, although it may do so in the future.
