Vestiage Releases Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results

Vestiage™, Inc. ("VEST"), the healthy aging company that owns both the RegiMEN™ and Monterey Bay Nutraceuticals™ natural supplement product lines, announced today that it has released its Fourth Quarter 2013 financial results. The Company Annual Report is also now available online at www.OTCMarkets.com.

Scott Kimball, CEO of Vestiage, Inc. said, "We had already decided to move into healthy aging premium nutraceuticals, and had begun developing the Monterey Bay Nutraceuticals brand for women which was slated to come out of R&D and into production in Q4 2013. We accomplished that goal. Now, with the RegiMEN brand acquisition, we're moving more aggressively into nutraceuticals with a complete healthy aging system of supplements for men over 35."

Kimball added, "The fourth quarter 2013 was a period of building infrastructure, completing the acquisition of RegiMEN, protecting our intellectual property, acquiring new intellectual property, assembling our 'dream team' in direct response media and fulfillment, bringing Monterey Bay Nutraceuticals out of R&D and into production, and developing the marketing, advertising and growth strategy for RegiMEN in both retail and direct response. We moved very rapidly through numerous important steps required to prepare us for the growth we expect in 2014. I'm incredibly proud of our teams. Our media team is putting up fantastic initial statistics on customer acquisition using national radio and preparing for national television. Our fulfillment team is integrating the Company's products quickly and handling our orders from direct response with excellence. Our customer service and call center teams are coming on stream and we will be holding multiple training sessions with them over the next 6 months to insure the quality of customer experience. Our operational team is coordinating much of these initiatives and is performing well, led by COO Garrett Heiser. Our retail team, headed by Nutraceuticals President Tom Youngerman, is beginning to see its strategy and efforts over the last several months begin to pay off with an increase in orders, both in size and frequency. Our digital team has taken on multiple projects and is working through them efficiently and effectively. Our plan for the Company stock is progressing as expected. We recently named our audit firm setting us up for a filing with the SEC and a move to a more senior exchange. Financially, the Company continues to have no senior debt, only 'in the money' fixed price convertible debt with volume and other restrictions upon sale. We have not financed any inventory and we have not financed any purchase orders although both sources of financing could be available to us should we desire it. Our current assets at year end were substantially higher than our current liabilities."

During the fourth quarter of 2013 the company also:

• Completed the acquisition of RegiMEN
• Integrated and reconfigured products in the RegiMEN line
• Received its first shipment of Monterey Bay Nutraceuticals
• Selected and designated key brokers and distributors to major retailers
• Engaged Moulton Logistics for fulfillment and customer service
• Engaged ROI Media Direct to manage its national radio advertising
• Engaged its digital marketing team
• Agreed to acquire several trademarks and other assets thereby adding to its portfolio of Intellectual Property.
• Engaged its trademark and intellectual property attorneys to file for numerous protections on its intellectual property
• Engaged Crescent Communications for Investor Relations services
• Placed two products into R&D that are expected to come to market in 2014

Kimball stated, "From this point forward the results you see from Vestiage should be consistently strong. We prepared for growth in the fourth quarter 2013 and we began executing on our strategy of moving RegiMEN into multiple channels simultaneously utilizing national radio advertising in the first quarter of 2014. If all goes as planned, each quarter going forward in 2014 should see consistently improving results over the preceding quarter."

VESTIAGE BUSINESS MODEL

The Company is a fully integrated, multi-channel sales, marketing, and distribution company specializing in bringing science-based products to the healthy aging premium consumer. The Company utilizes a network of key partners that integrate production, fulfillment, customer service, advertising, sales, media, marketing, distribution, new product development and acquisitions. Sales are driven to the Company through three channels: Direct Response, Retail, and Digital.

DIRECT RESPONSE

Vestiage brought in ROI Media Direct, Moulton Logistics, and TMS Call Center to create an integrated direct response execution team. Kimball said, "The statistical results, through the first 60 days of direct response advertising which started on January 13, 2014 have been excellent. Our average order per day has increased almost every week, beginning with 8 new men per day in the first test week, to now nearly 30 new men per day at the close of the 8^th week. In the first 60 days, our retention rate has been approximately 75% of all customers. All of this has been done without increasing our media spend and using only a URL in our advertising. Now we are adding our 800 number and the call center, which we expect to increase our customer acquisition substantially. Furthermore, we're slated to increase the national radio media spend this month (March 2014) and are preparing to take RegiMEN to national television in the second quarter of this year."

Kimball further stated, "In direct response, we are relentlessly focused on three things: First, we want 1 million men actively on the monthly continuity program, receiving their RegiMEN every month. At $56 per month, per man and 80%+ gross margins, you can do the math. Second, we intend to bring technology forward that will enable us to customize the monthly RegiMEN product shipment to each individual's health objective based upon several key factors. This customization initiative is intended to increase the customer lifetime value. Third, we intend to create a new industry standard for customer loyalty and retention through a process we developed organically with our key partners in digital, call center, fulfillment, and media. The process is proprietary and we hope that it will show industry changing metrics in this area."

RETAIL

At this time GNC is the major customer for RegiMEN in the retail channel. Existing retailers are now beginning to see the results from the Company's new advertising and orders from the retail channel are beginning to pick up in both size and frequency. The Company added a 48 store health food chain in Arizona as a new customer and one new national distributor.

Kimball said, "The back half of 2014 should show steadily increasing retail channel results in health food, grocery, and drug store channels as our experienced retail team takes our brands to several targeted accounts, brokers, and distributors."

DIGITAL

The Vestiage digital team has been moving on several initiatives for both RegiMEN and Monterey Bay Nutraceuticals. Pay Per Click advertising budgets are slated to increase dramatically in the second quarter of 2014 and throughout the year. These campaigns are designed to capture customers on www.BuyRegiMEN.com, www.RepairLowT.com, and www.TrimandEnergized.com. The digital team is also slated to completely redesign two websites, add landing pages, add social media content, sites, and advertising, as well as create a completely separate site for the RegiMEN Man Community.

Jeff Goulding, a member of the Vestiage Board of Directors, is the lead man behind the planned "RegiMEN Man" digital community. Goulding stated, "The RegiMEN Warrior Society is being created for our customers and brothers that share a similar desire with us and that is not to give in, to fight the signs of aging, to take care of ourselves, to do something about our health and do it with a natural supplement that is designed to help us extend our active lives. The community will have a lot of valuable content for the man looking to make that change or stay active and healthy and what will make it very useful for our men is the people we are lining up to make contributions to it. This is important because there are lots of shows on television for women, lots of content and magazines for women, so our idea is to become a source of information for men exclusively."

NEW PRODUCTS

Vestiage has two new products in the pipeline for release this year. One, RegiMEN TITANIUM, should be ready to go to market in 2-3 months. The other is a formula for women that uses a clinically proven, patented ingredient that is expected to naturally support female sexual enjoyment.

Kimball stated, "We believe that the TITANIUM product for the RegiMEN line will be the only testosterone support product on the market with 3 clinically proven, patented ingredients. This will be a very powerful, natural product that will be sold at a high price point. We are going to decide over the next 2 months which retailer will get the exclusive on the product. Secondly, our existing testosterone support, which people tell us is very effective, will begin clinical trials to measure several effects, including free testosterone levels, estrogen levels, PSA levels and sleep. This will differentiate our existing moderately priced testosterone support product from the others as our entire blend, not just an ingredient, will have clinical results we can point to. Finally we will be bringing to market the female sexual enhancement product this year using a patented ingredient with existing clinical research in place. There are plenty of products on the market for men, but very few for women. We expect that this product will be the centerpiece for our women's products and become a best seller for Vestiage."

In conclusion, Kimball added, "I feel confident that our overall results will be strong through the next several quarters moving forward. We have many financial and operational initiatives under way simultaneously and we are hitting them all with the right people, partners and resources."

Vestiage, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company was incorporated on March 22, 2012 under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name of Vestiage, Inc. The Company entered into a merger agreement with Empire Pizza Holdings, Inc., a Florida Corporation, on January 21, 2013 through which Vestiage became the wholly owned operating subsidiary of Empire. Empire then applied for, and received, a name change to Vestiage, Inc, with the State of Florida and the OTC Markets Exchange on February 15, 2013. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The results of operations from the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for a full year.

The Company is a science-based anti-aging consumer products company. The products are high margin consumables targeted at the premium and prestige anti-aging oriented consumer. The ingredients science for the Company's products is drawn from three primary areas: 1) adult human stem cell, 2) Marine/Ocean, and 3) botanical. The Company sells anti-aging health and wellness products focused on helping people achieve longer active lives and extend the beauty of their personal appearance. The products address the major concerns of both men and women over 40 years of age. This is accomplished through two divisions. One division is facial and skin care products which utilize adult human stem cell derived growth factors. The other division is anti-aging focused supplements. In facial care, Company management is of the belief that human stem cell derived products are more effective on human skin than other facial care regimens and are growing in popularity due to this effectiveness. Adoption of the technology is growing due to educational efforts of a few companies in the business. In the supplement business, Company management is of the belief that products should be multifunctional, elegantly formulated, and potent so that the results can be felt and seen by the consumer. The Company creates, markets, produces and distributes products that use the latest science, the latest patented botanical ingredients, novel ingredient combinations, and are developed by reputable laboratories in conjunction with physicians and other experts both from within the Company and outside the Company. The Company formulation philosophy is to utilize the latest science from stem cell advancements, marine based ingredients and, in conjunction with key laboratory and ingredient partners, leverage patented botanical ingredients to create highly effective products.

Company management, advisory board members, and key partners and vendors of the Company are experienced in public company mergers, acquisitions, financing, strategy, product development, production, operations, distribution, sales, marketing, and executive management.

The Company's executive offices are located at 2901 W. Coast Highway, Suite 200, Newport Beach, California, 92663. The offices include space for the Company's inventory and samples for all the Company's brands. The Company has arranged for immediate access to warehouse space nearby to handle expansion.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements and related notes include the activity of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

Interim Financial Statements

These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.

Accounting Method

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and 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 estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first out (FIFO) method of valuation.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets arise in purchase transactions. Generally, these assets are amortized on a straight line basis over the following estimated useful lives:

Goodwill, trademarks, brand names and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The Company has decided the annual impairment testing date is December 31 of each year.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) product has been shipped or delivered; (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Depending on individual customer agreements, sales are recognized either upon shipment of products to customers or upon delivery. We record sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales.

Company has an informal seven day right to return products. There were nominal returns during the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

Management's plan to support the Company in its operations and to maintain its business strategy is to raise funds through public offerings and to rely on officers and directors to perform essential functions with minimal compensation. If the Company does not raise all of the money it needs from public offerings, it will have to find alternative sources, such as a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from its officers, directors or others. If the Company requires additional cash and is unable to raise it, it will either have to suspend operations until the cash is raised, or cease business entirely.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
