Catalyst Ventures Incorporated
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)

Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business
 
Catalyst Ventures Incorporated (A Development Stage Company) (hereafter the “Company”) was organized September 17, 2007 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Florida, as Catalyst Ventures Incorporated.  The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of its $.001 par value preferred stock and 100,000,000 shares of its $.001 par value common stock.

The business of the Company is that of equity development focusing in the disruptive technology and new media industries.  We seek to become a robust equity development company supporting early and late-stage companies alike in high-growth geographic markets including North America, the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), and South Korea.   

The Company is considered a development stage company and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”

Basis of Presentation
 
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).  Management has included all nominal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative results for a full year.  The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the 2008 annual report filed on Form 10-K.

Cash and Equivalents
 
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.  There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2009.

Investments
 
Investee companies not accounted for under the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.  Under this method, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of such Investee companies is not included in the Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations.  However, impairment charges are recognized in the Statement of Operations.  If circumstances suggest that the value of the Investee company has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not recorded.

When a cost method Investee company initially qualifies for use of the equity method, the Company’s carrying value is adjusted for the Company’s share of the past results of the Investee’s operations.  Therefore, prior losses could significantly decrease the Company’s carrying value in that Investee company at that time.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company has not recognized any revenues to date.  The Company will recognize revenues from consulting financial advisory services, consolidating revenues of majority owned investments, and through cash flow generated from our investments.

Stock-based compensation
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” requiring the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards.  SFAS-123R eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB-25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method.  The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
 
F-6

 
Dividends
 
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.  No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.
 
Loss per Common Share
 
The Company presents basic loss per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of the statement of operations.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported losses by the weighted average shares outstanding.  Diluted EPS is computed by adding to the weighted average shares the dilutive effect if stock options and warrants were exercised into common stock.  For the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 the denominator in the diluted EPS computation is the same as the denominator for basic EPS because the Company has no stock options and warrants outstanding.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS No. 109) for recording the provision for income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled.  Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period.  If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods.  Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate.  Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company has financial instruments whereby the fair value of the financial instruments could be different than that recorded on a historical basis in the accompanying balance sheet.  The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and payables.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2008 due to their short-term nature.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for the Company with respect to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”), to address the challenges in estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased.  This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.  Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  This FSP is effective for interim and unusual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  We have concluded that FSP FAS 157-4 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Fiscal Year End
 
The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Note 2: Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has accumulated net losses of $3,935,971 from the period September 30, 2007 (Inception) to March 31, 2009.  The Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by $468,553 as of March 31, 2009.

These conditions give rise to substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing or sale of its common stock as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.

Management’s plan, in this regard, is to raise financing in an amount to be determined through a combination of equity and debt financing.  Management believes it will be able to finance the continuing development for the next twelve months.  However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising such financing.  As of the date of these financial statements the Company has not secured a firm commitment under its financing plan.
 
Note 3: Note Payable
 
On September 19, 2008, ZumaHedgeFund, LLC (hereafter “ZumaHedgeFund”), a company managed by the brother of our current Chief Executive Officer, purchased two debts described below from related parties.  At the time of purchase, the total outstanding principal and accrued interest amounts totaled $344,905.  The debts purchased and on November 13, 2008 were amended and consolidated into a single convertible note that bears interest at 12% per annum and has a maturity date of December 31, 2009.  The note has accrued interest totaling $20,524.20 as of March 31, 2009.  The new convertible note can also be converted into stock at $0.10 per share at the request of the holder through December 31, 2009.
 
The Board of Directors of the Company approved the reimbursement to Kenneth Green, an officer and director of the Company of costs and expenses paid by Mr. Green on behalf of the Company totaling $216,275 as of December 31, 2008 (totaling $214,732 as of December 31, 2007).  The reimbursement relates to costs and expenses paid by Mr. Green prior to the organization of the Company including costs and expenses associated with a failed acquisition.  The total liability accrued interest at 10% per annum with accrued interest totaling $42,519 as of September 30, 2008.  This debt was purchased by ZumaHedgeFund on October 1, 2008 and consolidated with other outstanding debts into a note accruing interest at 12% per annum and with a maturity date of December 31, 2009.  The note has accrued interest totaling $20,524.20 as of March 31, 2009, as discussed above.
 
On September 18, 2007, the Company entered into a line of credit promissory note with Kenneth Green, an officer and director of the Company.  The note is due upon demand and accrued interest at 10% per annum.  During the period of September 17, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2008, Mr. Green advanced a total of $145,998 (127,498 as of December 31, 2007) under the note of which the Company repaid a total of $70,743 through September 30, 2008.   This debt was purchased by ZumaHedgeFund on October 1, 2008 and consolidated with other outstanding debts into a note accruing interest at 12% per annum and with a maturity date of December 31, 2009.  The note has accrued interest totaling $20,524.20 as of March 31, 2009, as discussed above.
 
Note 4: Other Related Party Transactions
 
On September 17, 2007, the Company hired Kenneth Green to serve as the President of the Company.  Mr. Green was to be paid an annual salary of $400,000.  Mr. Green was also to be paid an annual director’s fees of $200,000.

On September 17, 2007, the Company hired Patricia Hendricks to serve as the Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.  Ms. Hendricks was to be paid an annual salary of $100,000.  Ms. Hendricks was also to be paid an annual director’s fees of $100,000.

The Board of Directors of the Company authorized payments to Mr. Green and Ms. Hendricks of both the annual salary and director fees for years 2005, 2006 and 2007.  Accordingly the Company accrued executive compensation totaling $2,600,000 and the associated payroll taxes of approximately $82,055 through the period ending March 31, 2008.
 
F-8

 
The company paid Mr. Ken Green the sum of $29,210 for consulting services in the period ended September 30, 2008 and the sum of $55,000 in the period ended September 30, 2007.  These sums were made prior to June 30, 2008 and any ongoing fees relating to the agreements with Mr. Green and Ms. Hendricks have been suspended as of June 30, 2008.
 
In 2008, Mr. Green and Ms. Hendricks agreed to waive payment of the accrued compensation of $2,600,000 and the Company classified this accrual and the related payroll taxes of $82,055 as additional paid-in capital.  On November 13, 2008, Kenneth S. Green resigned as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Patricia Hendricks resigned from her position as our Secretary, Treasurer and member of the Board of Directors. Their resignations were not the result of any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies and practices.
 
On March 8, 2008 the Company entered into a professional services contract with Catalyst Financial Group, Inc. (“CFGI”) wherein for a term of five years CFGI will provide the company with business development and executive corporate strategic planning.  The Company issued 5,000,000 of restricted common stock as compensation for the services to be performed (see Note 8).  Kenneth Green is the Chief Executive Officer, director and shareholder of CFGI.   This contract was cancelled and the stock was returned to the company as part of the return of 30,000,000 (See Note 8).
 
On October 1, 2008, the Company entered into a one-year professional services contract with majority shareholder WorldVest Equity, Inc. (WVE) through its wholly owned operating subsidiary, WorldVest, LLC (WorldVest).  WorldVest will provide the Company with business development and corporate strategic planning.  The Company agreed to pay $10,000 per month to WorldVest pursuant to this contract.  Garrett K.

Note 6: Commitments and Contingencies
 
On December 5, 2007 and March 8, 2008 the Company entered into six contracts to provide professional services in return for 20,000,000 and 10,000,000 shares of restricted common stock respectively, including 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock issued to Catalyst Financial Group, Inc., (see Note 5).  All of the agreements have been assigned an effective date concurrent with the date of issuance of the stock, which is March 18, 2008.  The stock has been valued at $.75 (seventy five cents) per share, as the estimated fair market value of the common stock.  Accordingly on March 18, 2008, $22,500,000 in prepaid professional fee contracts was recorded on the books of the Company.  The prepaids were to be amortized over the lives of the contracts, which bear either one year or five years terms.  As of this time all six contracts have been cancelled and the 30,000,000 shares have been returned to treasury.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This section of the Registration Statement includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.

Plan of Operations
 
During the next twelve months, we seek to identify, invest-in, and develop early and late-stage investment opportunities on a global basis.  At this time we have identified a limited number of unique transactions located in the United States, China, Brazil, and South Korea.  Going forward, though our global business development channels, seek to identify additional, high-caliber investment targets and raise capital through a Regulation D private placement offering.
 
Limited Operating History
 
We have generated approximately one full year of financial information and have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business through an increased investment in our product line and/or marketing efforts. We cannot guarantee that the expansion efforts and business objectives described in this Registration Statement will be successful. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our new products and/or sales methods.
 
If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue expanding our operations. Equity financing will result in a dilution to existing shareholders.

Results of Operations
 
For the period from inception through March 31, 2009, we had no revenue. Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $55,917 resulting in a loss of $55,917. Expenses of $55,917 for the period consisted of $40,010 for general and administrative expenses, $5,000 for professional services-related party, and $10,907 for interest expenses - related party.
 
Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 totaled $ 814,415 resulting in a loss of $ 814,415. These expenses consisted of $26,210 for professional fees - related party, $200,000 for executive compensation, $580,008 for general & administrative expenses, $217 for depreciation expense, and $7,980 for interest expense.
 
Capital Resources and Liquidity
 
As of March 31, 2009 we had $ 6,713 in cash, $6,713 in total assets and $475,266 in total current liabilities. The Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by $468,553 as of March 31, 2009.
 
We believe we can satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash, expected revenues and continued funding from WorldVest Equity, Inc..  At this time the company has an agreement from ZumaHedgeFund, LLC whereby they will continue to accrue the interest on the debt as they intend to convert their debt into common stock over the next 12 months.  However, completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate revenue and additional financing. 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 adequate 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 profit, revenue, and growth goals.
 
We will work closely with WorldVest Equity, Inc. (hereafter “WorldVest”), which is a global merchant bank and our majority shareholder.  WorldVest provides capital raising and venture services, as well as extensive global relationships to enhance and support the development of the Company’s portfolio investments.  Among those relationships is a unique, proprietary business license in China that allows WorldVest, and any related subsidiaries, to conduct consulting and advisory business in China without the need for any Chinese partners.  Additionally, WorldVest has established equally beneficial relationships with the business communities and governments of Brazil and South Korea.
 
We anticipate that our operational, and general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months will be minimal.  We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment.  We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees.  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.
 

 
In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds may be required, and we may not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core business. 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 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 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, revenue 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 if 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.
 
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report

Investments
 
Investee companies not accounted for under the consolidation or the equity method of accounting are accounted for under the cost method of accounting.  Under this method, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of such Investee companies is not included in the Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations.  However, impairment charges are recognized in the Statement of Operations.  If circumstances suggest that the value of the Investee company has subsequently recovered, such recovery is not recorded.

When a cost method Investee company initially qualifies for use of the equity method, the Company’s carrying value is adjusted for the Company’s share of the past results of the Investee’s operations.  Therefore, prior losses could significantly decrease the Company’s carrying value in that Investee company at that time.

The Company reviewed its investment for impairment as of December 31, 2008 and decided to take a full write-off of this investment because management felt that there were no significant operations or revenues in the Investee Company to substantiate a value on our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company has not recognized any revenues to date.  The Company will recognize revenues from consulting financial advisory services, consolidating revenues of majority owned investments, and through cash flow generated from our investments.

Stock-based compensation
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” requiring the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards.  SFAS-123R eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB-25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method.  The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for the Company with respect to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.
 

 
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”), to address the challenges in estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased.  This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.  Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  This FSP is effective for interim and unusual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.  We have concluded that FSP FAS 157-4 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
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).
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures
 
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”),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.

Changes in Internal Controls
 
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the latest fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
 

 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
 
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
