PART I
General
Zhong Sen International Tea Company (“The Company”) was incorporated on January 30, 2008, in the State of Florida. The Company has the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. The company commenced business activities in August 2008, when it entered into a related party Sales and Marketing Agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd (YZG) , a related party company located in Kunming, China, to provide sales and marketing consulting services for YZG’s tea and tea related business lines.
Supply Agreements
In August 2008, we entered into a related party agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd., or YZG, a Chinese company located in Kunming, Yunnan Province, People’s Republic of China, which caused us to become YZG’s exclusive sales and marketing agent worldwide. We receive a commission of 20% of global sales, payable each month based on our and YZG’s sales figures. On August 29, 2008, the effective date of the transaction, we issued 49,900,000 shares to approximately 4,200 shareholders in exchange for the sales and marketing agreement. Additionally, our former sole director and officer named a new board of directors, and hired new executive officers, and resigned his positions at the company.
Sales Marketing
All sales are generated by external sales and marketing representatives, including those at our related party main supplier, YZG. The product is positioned as a high-end luxury product. The 3,000 year history of this limited production, highly prized product will be essential in positioning the product and in differentiating this product from the current American and European viewpoint of commercially produced tea, as well as setting it apart from much of the tea products offered throughout Asia. The history, culture and ritual surrounding the production of the tea leaf and the ritual of the service and presentation of this luxury item will be exploited and are critical to the positioning of the product.
Our company suggests both direct sales and indirect sales through channel marketing to our client as the methods of getting the product to the worldwide consumer. Direct sales can occur in person, via the phone, the Internet or by mail. Indirect, or channel sales typically refers to sales through a reseller. A reseller can order from us directly, or from a wholesale distributor. In any case, our compensation is directly affected by our client’s sales volume.
We suggest to our client, YZG that they can minimize channel conflicts by employing one or more of the following strategies:
▪ Segmentation of the product line;
▪ Establishment of limited or exclusive territories;
▪ Design price differentiation from direct sales and channels sales providing a cost incentive for the consumer to purchase from the reseller;
▪ Establishment of rotating promotions for resellers; and/or
▪ Design a tiered system that would establish reseller levels rewarding higher volume resellers with improved margins.
Based on our recommendations, they will establish and manage their channel marketing program worldwide by establishing a competitive reseller program, recruiting resellers, preparing proper reseller collateral, creating reseller kits, managing the reseller database using Partner Relationship Management (PRM) software, ensuring proper merchandising, ensuring adequate stocking levels, providing reseller education and managing seeding programs. The channel program allows this company to produce a large volume of sales utilizing its existing human resources as, we will have the ability to manage resellers and thereby multiply our resources. Direct sales can be managed mostly by technology through applications available through the Internet, such as, on-line stores with credit card processing portals to accumulate sales orders from direct sales. The proper implementation of these programs effectively eliminates the need for the hiring of additional staff for a significant period of time by the use of technology and the multiplication of resources by contracting with distributors or other resellers.
1
Revenue Model
Our revenue model contemplates a single form of revenue, but from multiple sources. We anticipate earning our revenue based on the success of our sales and marketing efforts provided to the tea producer. We will earn a percentage of sales directly related to our efforts. Since we will be processing the sales for our client, we will have a direct and firsthand knowledge of the effectiveness of our efforts.
Employees
As of July 16, 2010, the Company has 1 part-time employee. Our president has agreed to allocate a portion of her time to the activities of the Company. The president anticipates that our business plan can be implemented by her devoting no more than 50 hours per year to the business affairs of the Company and, consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such officer. We have no properties and at this time have no agreements to acquire any properties. We currently use the offices of management at no cost to us. Management has agreed to continue this arrangement until we complete an acquisition or merger.
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
We have no properties and at this time have no agreements to acquire any properties. We currently use the offices of management at no cost to us. Management has agreed to continue this arrangement until further notice.
There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company. The Company’s property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

PART II
No Public Market for Common Stock
There is no trading market for our Common Stock at present and there has been no trading market to date. There is no assurance that a trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that it will continue.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Holders
There are 4,179 holders of our Common Stock.
Dividends
Since inception we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock, when issued pursuant to this offering. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our Board of Directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future.
Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On December 31, 2008, our President converted a note payable in the amount of $100,000 and accrued interest of $499 into 100,000 common shares at a purchase price of $1.00499 per common share. The shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company has the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide.

During the year ended May 31, 2009, the Company exited the development stage.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is focused on the following primary objectives.

1.
|
Find additional customers to purchase tea products from our contracted supplier, Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd. and;
|

|
2.
|
Raising capital through private debt or equity offerings.

Total Revenues
We had revenues of $146,407 for the year ended May 31, 2010 and $34,661 for the year ended May 31, 2009. This increase is attributable to the receipt of commissions on sales of product by our sole customer, Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd., a related party company, pursuant to a Sales and Marketing Agreement entered into by the Companies on August 29, 2008.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2010 decreased to $148,389 from $571,373 for the year ended May 31, 2009 representing a decrease of $422,984. During the fiscal year ending May 31, 2009, we incurred a one-time charge of $379,000 as an impairment of a Marketing Agreement.
Net Loss

Net loss was $1,982 for the year ended May 31, 2010 compared to $537,211 for the same period ended May 31, 2009, a decrease of $535,229. Our net losses decreased because of an expansion in the operations of our business pursuant to a Sales and Marketing Agreement entered into by the Company and Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd., on August 29, 2008. Additionally, during the fiscal year ending May 31, 2009, we incurred a one-time charge of $379,000 as an impairment of a Marketing Agreement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2010, we have assets of $149,731 consisting of cash of $1,431, accounts receivable of $28,300 and intangible assets of $120,000 and total liabilities of $5,800, compared with May 31, 2009, when we had assets of $148,913 consisting of cash of $16,942, accounts receivable of $11,971 and intangible assets of $120,000 and total liabilities of $5,000.
We believe that we will need additional funding to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months. Completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate revenue. We cannot assure investors that additional financing will be available. In the absence of additional financing, we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations.
We intend to hire additional employees for sales, administrative and finance support staff as necessary, though we have no time frame in which we expect to hire such staff. Additional sales staff, when required, will be hired on a commission basis, and administrative and finance support staff will only be hired when revenues are such that the company can support such a staff. Completion of our plan of operations is subject to attaining adequate revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. In the absence of our projected revenues, we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. Even without significant revenues within the next twelve months, we still anticipate being able to continue with our present activities, but we may require financing to potentially achieve our goal of profit, revenue and growth.
We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months will total $183,200.

The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning and business conditions. The exact allocation, purposes and timing of any monies raised in subsequent private financings may vary significantly depending upon the exact amount of funds raised and status of our business plan. In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds may be required and we would then not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core services. Should this occur, we would likely seek additional financing to support the continued operation of our business. We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we could incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that we may not be able to generate enough gross profit from our business operations to cover our operating expenses.
We anticipate that our operational, and general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months will total approximately $183,200. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning and business conditions. The exact allocation, purposes and timing of any monies raised in subsequent private financings may vary significantly depending upon the exact amount of funds raised and our progress with the execution of our business plan. We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2010. Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on June 1, 2011.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of:
Zhong Sen International Tea Company
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Zhong Sen International Tea Company (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our 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. 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 Zhong Sen International Tea Company as of May 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $1,982, used cash in operations of $15,511 and has an accumulated deficit of $547,763 as of May 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ZHONG SEN INTERNATIONAL TEA COMPANY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MAY 31, 2010 AND 2009
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
Organization
Zhong Sen International Tea Company (“The Company”) was incorporated on January 30, 2008, in the State of Florida. The Company has the principal business objective of providing sales and marketing consulting services to small to medium sized Chinese tea producing companies who wish to export and distribute high quality Chinese tea products worldwide. The company commenced business activities in August, 2008, when it entered into a related party Sales and Marketing Agreement with Yunnan Zhongsen Group, Ltd (YZG) , a company located in Kunming, China, to provide sales and marketing consulting services for YZG’s tea and tea related business lines. During the year ended May 31, 2009, the Company exited the development stage.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those results.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Credit Risk:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts with maturities of 90 days or less and which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, as cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying balance sheet.
The Company maintains a portion of its deposits in a financial institution that insures its deposits with the FDIC insurance up to $250,000 per depositor and deposits in excess of such insured amounts represent a credit risk to the Company. At May 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company had $0 in cash that was uninsured.
Accounts Receivable
The Company is required to estimate the collectability of its accounts receivable. The Company's reserve for doubtful accounts is estimated by management based on a review of historic losses and the age of existing receivables from specific customers. As of May 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company deems all accounts receivable collectible.
Concentration of Credit Risk
During the years ended May 31, 2010, and 2009 one related party customer located in China accounted for 100% of the Company's sales and 100% of accounts receivable as of May 31, 2010 and 2009.
Stock Compensation
The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation for share based payments to employees. The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505 for share based payments to Non-Employees
Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
F-6
Earnings Per Share:
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of May 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
Income Taxes:
The Company accounts for income taxes under the FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates (37.63%) expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on June 1, 2011.

The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating losses and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2030.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended May 31, 2010 was a decrease of $7.

NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended May 31, 2010, the Company has a net loss of $1,982, used cash in operations of $15,511, and has an accumulated deficit of $547,763 as of May 31, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management continues to actively seek additional sources of capital to fund current and future operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in continuing to raise additional capital and establish its business model. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
F-9
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2010. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “ Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of May 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective for the purposes for which it is intended.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None of the officers or directors have any material plan, contract or arrangement to which an officer or director is a party or in which he or she participates that is entered into in connection with the triggering event or any grant or award to any such covered person under any such plan, contract or arrangement in connection with any such event.
Committees and Meetings
We do not have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors. Management has determined not to establish an audit committee at present because of our limited resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit committee or the expense of doing so. We do not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K is beyond its limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an expert are simply not required or necessary for us to maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in its financial statements at this stage of its development.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between our director and executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, our sole director and officer has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors, nor has been a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years that resulted in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of, or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws, except for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement. Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” our sole director and officer has not been involved in any transactions with us or any of our affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Compliance With Section 16(A) Of The Exchange Act.
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are required to furnish copies to the Company.
