Forward-Looking Statements
 
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding us, our business, prospects and results of operations that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties posed by many factors and events that could cause our actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ materially from those that may be anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: our ability to successfully develop new products and services for new markets; the impact of competition on our revenues, changes in law or regulatory requirements that adversely affect or preclude clients from using us for certain applications; delays our introduction of new products or services; and our failure to keep pace with our competitors.
 
When used in this discussion, words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may subsequently arise. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business.
 
 
PART I
 
Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
 
Narrative Description of the Business 
 
We act as an investment asset manager by raising, investing and managing private equity and direct investment funds for third parties including high net worth individuals and institutions. As is the industry practice, we plan to earn management fees based on the size of the funds that we manage and incentive income based on the performance of these funds. We do not plan to focus on any particular industry but will look at any and all opportunities. We will screen investments with emphasis towards finding opportunities with long term potential.
 
We have a proprietary investment screening process to make our investments.  This process is based upon the experience of Mr. Klemsz and outside consultants as we develop our company.  

            Currently, we believe that we have sufficient capital to implement our proposed business operations or to sustain them through December 31, 2009. If we can become profitable, we could operate at our present level indefinitely. To date, we have never had any discussions with any possible acquisition candidate nor have we any intention of doing so.

Operations

We act as an asset manager by raising, investing and managing private equity and direct investment funds. We earn management fees based on the size of the funds that we oversee and incentive income based on the performance of these funds. Our company has no prior history of operating as an asset management advisory firm.
 
We have a proprietary investment screening process to make our investments.  This process is based upon the experience of our management team and outside consultants.

Private equity and direct investment funds generally refer to portfolios of non-actively traded common equity, preferred stock or mezzanine or distressed debt securities of private companies, but such funds may include investments in such equity or debt securities of public companies. Private equity funds also may include investments that constitute either control or minority positions in private companies or investments in an array of real estate securities or assets, including those made through special purpose funds that have risk-return characteristics similar to those of other private equity investments and venture capital investments. Private equity fund managers often seek to exploit dislocations in the market when other investors do not recognize the value of a certain company or security. These investments may include significant changes to a company’s capital structure through the use of borrowed capital, a strategy referred to as a ‘‘leveraged buyout’’. In certain cases, private equity funds engage in the acquisition and delisting of public companies.
 
Private equity and direct investment funds are typically structured as unregistered limited partnership funds that obtain commitments from certain qualified investors to invest a specified amount of equity capital on their behalf. These funds are typically ten year fixed-lived vehicles with provisions to extend if appropriate. Investors’ capital is typically called by the fund as investments are made over the first three to six years of the fund’s term. Investors’ capital is returned through distributions and when those investments are subsequently liquidated. Liquidation typically occurs within five to eight years. Typical private equity fund investors are high net worth individuals and institutions. Private equity fund managers typically earn fees as follows: (i) management fees on committed or contributed capital, (ii) transaction and monitoring fees as capital is invested and (iii) fees based on the net profits of the fund, often subject to a preferred return for investors and contingent repayment based on actual realized performance of the fund at the time of liquidation. Private equity fund managers may from time to time commit a portion of their own capital to the funds they manage.
 
According to Thomson Venture Economics, there are currently over 1,800 private equity funds in existence globally. Private equity funds have experienced significant inflows recently, with over $400 billion of capital raised in the U.S. since the beginning of 2002, according to Thomson Financial.
 
 We act as an investment asset manager by raising, investing and managing private equity and direct investment funds for third parties including high net worth individuals and institutions. As is the industry practice, we plan to earn management fees based on the size of the funds that we manage and incentive income based on the performance of these funds. We do not focus on any particular industry but will look at any and all opportunities.
 
When making investments, we will primarily focus on working with small companies that require expansion or growth capital.   We will screen investments with emphasis towards finding opportunities with long term potential based upon technology, first mover, or market value add business plans.
 
We are presently planning to develop and implement a web site based operation to gather additional potential investment opportunities beyond what we can generate through our network of contacts. We also plan to utilize the most current technology to analyze investments. We believe the technology will assist in the analysis of each opportunity.

        We plan to operate out of one office in Colorado. We have no specific plans at this point for additional offices.   On January 1, 2008, we entered into a Service Agreement with Bohemian Companies, LLC to provide us with certain defined services. These services include financial, bookkeeping, accounting, legal and tax matters, as well as cash management, custody of assets, preparation of financial documents, including tax returns and checks, and coordination of professional service providers as may be necessary to carry out the matters covered by the Service Agreement. We will compensate Bohemian Companies, LLC by reimbursing this entity for the allocable portion of the direct and indirect costs of each employee of Bohemian Companies, LLC  who performs services on our behalf. We will receive invoices not less than quarterly from Bohemian Companies, LLC. This Service Agreement is for the term ending December 31, 2009.
 
If we are not successful in our operations we will be faced with several options:
 
        1.
Cease operations and go out of business;
        2.
Continue to seek alternative and acceptable sources of capital;
        3.
Bring in additional capital that may result in a change of control; or
        4.
Identify a candidate for acquisition that seeks access to the public marketplace and its financing sources

            Currently, we believe that we have sufficient capital to implement our proposed business operations or to sustain them through December 31, 2009. If we can become profitable, we could operate at our present level indefinitely. To date, we have never had any discussions with any possible acquisition candidate nor have we any intention of doing so.
 
Markets
 
We believe that the primary reason that clients would buy from us rather than competitors would be the existing relationships that we can develop. We believe that client loyalty and satisfaction can be the basis for success in this business. Therefore, we plan to develop and expand on already existing relationships to develop a competitive edge. We plan to utilize the expertise of its principal officer to develop our business.
 
Raw Materials
 
The use of raw materials is not a material factor in our operations at the present time. The use of raw materials may become a material factor in the future as we develop operations.
 
Customers and Competition
 
Our business plan involves acting as an asset manager for private equity and direct investment funds. This business is highly competitive. There are numerous similar companies providing such services in the United States of America. Our competitors will have greater financial resources and more expertise in this business. Our ability to develop our business will depend on our ability to successfully identify investments as well as raise capital through partnership structures in this highly competitive environment. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so successfully.
 
       Over the past several years, the size and number of companies such as ours has continued to increase. If this trend continues, it is possible that it will become increasingly difficult for us to raise funds to manage. More significantly, the allocation of increasing amounts of capital to alternative investment strategies by institutional and individual investors may lead to a reduction in profitable investment opportunities, including by driving prices for investments higher and increasing the difficulty of achieving targeted returns. In addition, if interest rates were to rise or there were to be a prolonged bull market in equities, the attractiveness of our funds relative to investments in other investment products could decrease. Competition is based on a variety of factors, including:
 
    ·
investment performance;
    ·
investor perception of investment managers’ drive, focus and alignment of interest;
    ·
quality of service provided to and duration of relationship with investors;
    ·
business reputation; and
    ·
level of fees and expenses charged for services.
 
       We compete in all aspects of our business with a large number of investment management firms, private equity fund sponsors, hedge fund sponsors and other financial institutions. A number of factors serve to increase our competitive risks: 

    ·
investors may develop concerns that we will allow a business to grow to the detriment of its performance;
    ·
some of our competitors have greater capital, lower targeted returns or greater sector or investment strategy specific expertise than we do, which creates competitive disadvantages with respect to investment opportunities; some of our competitors may perceive risk differently than we do which could allow them either to outbid us for investments in particular sectors or, generally, to consider a wider variety of investments;
    ·
there are relatively few barriers to entry impeding new private equity and hedge fund management firms, and the successful efforts of new entrants into our various lines of business, including former ‘‘star’’ portfolio managers at large diversified financial institutions as well as such institutions themselves, will continue to result in increased competition; and
    ·
other industry participants continuously seek to recruit our best and brightest investment professionals away from us.
 
               These and other factors could reduce our earnings and revenues and materially adversely affect our business.

Proprietary Information
 
           We have a proprietary investment screening process to make our investments.  Otherwise, we own no proprietary information.

Item 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this document before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock.
 
The occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating result. In this case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
 
We have a limited operating history, and, with the exception of our most recent fiscal year end, have never been profitable.  As a result, we may never continue to be profitable, and, as a result, we could go out of business.
 
We were formed as a Colorado business entity in October, 2007. At the present time, with the exception of our most recent fiscal year end ,we have never been profitable. There can be no guarantee that we will continue to be profitable, and, as a result, we could go out of business.


Because we have a history of loss, our accountants have expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
      For our audit dated December 31, 2008, our accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our history of losses. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
 
 
l
our ability to find suitable investments; and
 
 
l
our ability to generate significant revenues.
 
       Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues.  We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover our operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues will cause us to go out of business.


Our lack of operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance. An investor could lose his entire investment.
 
We have a limited operating history. An investor has no frame of reference to evaluate our future business prospects. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to evaluate us as an investment. An investor could lose his entire investment if our future business prospects do not result in our ever becoming profitable.
 
 If we do not generate adequate revenues to finance our operations, our business may fail.
 
            We have generated limited revenues from our inception. As of December 31, 2008, we had a cash position of $215,975  and an additional $100,345  in Certificates of Deposit. We anticipate that operating costs will range between $60,000 and $100,000, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. These operating costs include insurance, taxes, utilities, maintenance, contract services and all other costs of operations. We will use contract employees who will be paid on an hourly basis as each investment transaction is evaluated. However, the operating costs and expected revenue generation are difficult to predict. We expect to generate revenues in the next twelve months from making investments and receiving fees for the placement of capital. Since there can be no assurances that revenues will be sufficient to cover operating costs for the foreseeable future, it may be necessary to raise additional funds. Due to our lack of operating history, raising additional funds may be difficult.
 
Competition in the investment industry is intense.
 
   Our business plan involves acting as an investment manager. This business is highly competitive. There are numerous similar companies providing such services in the United States of America. Our competitors will have greater financial resources and more expertise in this business. Our ability to develop our business will depend on our ability to successfully market our services in this highly competitive environment. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so successfully.

The share control position of WestMountain Blue, LLC will limit the ability of other shareholders to influence corporate actions.
 
            Our largest shareholder, WestMountain Blue, LLC, of which Mr. Klemsz is a 16.8% member, owns 8,050,000 shares and thereby controls approximately 90% of our outstanding shares. Because WestMountain Blue, LLC individually beneficially controls more than a majority of the outstanding shares, other shareholders, individually or as a group, will be limited in their ability to effectively influence the election or removal of our directors, the supervision and management of our business or a change in control of or sale of our company, even if they believed such changes were in the best interest of our shareholders generally.
 
Our future success depends, in large part, on the continued service of our President and our Secretary-Treasurer and the continued financing of WestMountain Blue, LLC.
 
            We depend almost entirely on the efforts and continued employment of Mr. Klemsz, our President and Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Klemsz is our primary executive officer, and we will depend on him for nearly all aspects of our operations. In addition, WestMountain Blue, LLC, is our only source of financing. We do not have an employment contract with Mr. Klemsz, and we do not carry key person insurance on his life. The loss of the services of Mr. Klemsz through incapacity or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on our business. It would be very difficult to find and retain qualified personnel such as Mr. Klemsz and a financing source to replace WestMountain Blue, LLC.

Our revenue and profitability fluctuate, particularly inasmuch as we cannot predict the timing of realization events in our business, which may make it difficult for us to achieve steady earnings growth on a quarterly basis and may cause volatility in the price of our shares.
 
   We may experience significant variations in revenues and profitability during the year and among years because we are paid incentive income from certain funds only when investments are realized, rather than periodically on the basis of increases in the funds’ net asset values. The timing and receipt of incentive income generated by our funds is event driven and thus highly variable, which contributes to the volatility of our revenue, and our ability to realize incentive income from our funds may be limited. We cannot predict when, or if, any realization of investments will occur. If we were to have a realization event in a particular quarter, it may have a significant impact on our revenues and profits for that particular quarter which may not be replicated in subsequent quarters. In addition, our investments are adjusted for accounting purposes to fair value at the end of each quarter, resulting in revenue attributable to our principal investments, even though we receive no cash distributions from our funds, which could increase the volatility of our quarterly earnings.
 
Difficult market conditions can adversely affect our funds in many ways, including by reducing the value or performance of the investments made by our funds and reducing the ability of our funds to raise or deploy capital, which could materially reduce our revenue and results of operations.
 
   If economic conditions are unfavorable our funds may not perform well and we may not be able to raise money in existing or new funds. Our funds are materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. The global market and economic climate may deteriorate because of many factors beyond our control, including rising interest rates or inflation, terrorism or political uncertainty. In the event of a market downturn, our businesses could be affected in different ways. Our funds may face reduced opportunities to sell and realize value from their existing investments, and a lack of suitable investments for the funds to make. In addition, adverse market or economic conditions as well as a slowdown of activities in a particular sector in which portfolio companies of these funds operate could have an adverse effect on the earnings of those portfolio companies, and therefore, our earnings.
 
   A general market downturn, or a specific market dislocation, may cause our revenue and results of operations to decline by causing:
 
·
the net asset value of the assets under management to decrease, lowering management fees;
 
 
·
lower investment returns, reducing incentive income;
 
 
·
material reductions in the value of our fund investments in portfolio companies which reduce our ‘‘surplus’’ and, therefore, our ability to realize incentive income from these investments; and
 
 
·
investor redemptions, resulting in lower fees.

Furthermore, while difficult market conditions may increase opportunities to make certain distressed asset investments, such conditions also increase the risk of default with respect to investments held by our funds with debt investments.
 
The success of our business depends, in large part, upon the proper selection of investments, which may be difficult to find, acquire and develop.
 
We believe that the identification, acquisition and development of appropriate investments are key drivers of our business. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain these investments under favorable terms and conditions and have them increase in value. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our attempts to find, acquire, and/or develop appropriate investments, will not be challenged by competitors which may put us at a disadvantage. Further, we cannot assure you that others will not independently develop similar or superior programs or investments, which may imperil our profitability.
 
Risks Related to an Investment in Our Common Stock
 
The lack of a broker or dealer to create or maintain a market in our stock could adversely impact the price and liquidity of our securities.
 
      We have no agreement with any broker or dealer to act as a market maker for our securities and there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any market makers. Thus, no broker or dealer will have an incentive to make a market for our stock. The lack of a market maker for our securities could adversely influence the market for and price of our securities, as well as your ability to dispose of, or to obtain accurate information about, and/or quotations as to the price of, our securities.
 
We have no experience as a public company.
 
We have never operated as a public company. We have no experience in complying with the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to operate as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.
 
 We may be required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the Investment Advisors Act, which could increase the regulatory burden on us and could negatively affect the price and trading of our securities.
 
       Because our proposed business involves the identification, acquisition and development of investments, we may be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Investment Advisors Act and analogous state law. While we believe that we are currently either not an investment company or an investment advisor or are exempt from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Investment Advisors Act and analogous state law, either the SEC or state regulators, or both, may disagree and could require registration either immediately or at some point in the future. As a result, there could be an increased regulatory burden on us which could negatively affect the price and trading of our securities.
 
Our stock has no public trading market and there is no guarantee a trading market will ever develop for our securities.
 
There has been, and continues to be, no public market for our common stock. An active trading market for our shares ha not, and may never develop or be sustained. If you purchase shares of common stock, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial price you paid. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the following:

 
- 9 -

 
 
 
 
*    
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
 
 
 
 
*    
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates;
 
 
 
 
*    
changes in market valuations of other companies, particularly those that market services such as ours;
 
 
 
 
*   
 announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations,  acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
 
 
 
 
*    
introduction of product enhancements that reduce the need for the products our projects may develop;
 
 
 
 
*    
departures of key personnel.

       Of our total outstanding shares as of March 27, 2009, a total of 8,325,000, or approximately 91.9%, will be restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
 
As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our stock could drop significantly if the holders of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.
 
Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “Penny Stocks” limit the liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.
 
Our common stock is currently not quoted in any market. If our common stock becomes quoted, we anticipate that it will trade well below $5.00 per share. As a result, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to SEC rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our shares can be publicly traded.  These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock and the associated risks.  Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the written purchaser’s agreement to a transaction prior to purchase.  These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.
 
The over-the-counter market for stock such as ours is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations.
 
The securities of companies such as ours have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in the our industry and in the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our operational results, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
Buying low-priced penny stocks is very risky and speculative.
 
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public markets.

Issuances of our stock could dilute current shareholders and adversely affect the market price of our common stock, if a public trading market develops.
 
       We have the authority to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and to issue options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock without stockholder approval. Although no financing is planned currently, we may need to raise additional capital to fund operating losses. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution. In addition, we could issue large blocks of our common stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further stockholder approval.

       The issuance of preferred stock by our board of directors could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock. An issuance of preferred stock could result in a class of outstanding securities that would have preferences with respect to voting rights and dividends and in liquidation over the common stock and could, upon conversion or otherwise, have all of the rights of our common stock. Our board of directors' authority to issue preferred stock could discourage potential takeover attempts or could delay or prevent a change in control through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making these attempts more difficult or costly to achieve.
 
Colorado law and our Articles of Incorporation protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits, which could make it difficult for us to recover damages from them in the event of a lawsuit.
 
       Colorado law provides that our directors will not be liable to our company or to our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as directors. Our Articles of Incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require our company to use our assets to defend our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.
 
We do not expect to pay dividends on common stock.
 
We have not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion.
 
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 123 North College Avenue, Ste 200, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524, and our telephone number is (970) 530-0325. Our initial office is leased from an unaffiliated third party under a monthly lease at the rate of $163 per month.  We own no real estate nor have plans to acquire any real estate.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
 
We are not a party to any material legal proceedings, nor is our property the subject of any material legal proceeding.
 
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
 
We held no shareholders meeting in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
 
Holders
 
As of March 27, 2009, there were sixty-two record holders of our common stock and there were 9,061,750 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Market Information

A limited public market currently exists for shares of our common stock. We began trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol WASM in January, 2009. 
 
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
 
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
 
 
·
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
     
 
·
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
     
 
·
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
     
 
·
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
     
 
·
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
     
 
·
contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;
 
- 12 -

 
 The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
 
     
 
·
the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
     
 
·
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
     
 
·
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
     
 
·
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
 
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
 
Equity Compensation Plan Information
 
We have no outstanding stock options or other equity compensation plans.

Stock Transfer Agent

           The stock transfer agent for our securities is X-Pedited Transfer Corporation, of Denver, Colorado.  Their address is 535 Sixteenth Street, Suite 810, Denver, Colorado 80202.  Their phone number is (303) 573-1000.
 
Dividend Policy
 
 We have not previously declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of our board of directors. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business. Payment of dividends in the future will depend on our future earnings, future capital needs and our operating and financial condition, among other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We are not under any contractual restriction as to our present or future ability to pay dividends.
 
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation contains forward-looking statements that involve future events, our future performance and our expected future operations and actions. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “future”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, “predict”, “hope”, “potential”, “continue”, or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are only our predictions and involve numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our actual results or actions may differ materially from these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, but not limited to, the matters discussed in this report under the caption “Risk Factors”. We urge you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward looking-statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report.
 
Results of Operations
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008 we had revenue of $113,436 . In comparison for the year ended December 31, 2007 we had no revenue. From our inception on October 18, 2007 through December 31, 2008, we generated a total of $113,436 in revenue.

 
- 13 -

 

Operating expenses, which consisted solely of general and administrative expenses, were $64,002 and $29,460 respectively for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. For the period from our inception on October 18, 2007 through December 31, 2008, our operating expenses are $93,462. The major component of general and administrative expenses is professional fees.

Our accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our history of net loss. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop investments and our ability to generate revenues. Because we do not pay salaries, and our major professional fees have been paid for the year, operating expenses are expected to remain fairly constant.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008 we had net income of $916. In comparison for the year ended December 31, 2007 we had a loss of $29,460 We had a net loss of $28,544 for the period from our inception on October 18, 2007 through December 31, 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2008 we had a profit, although we recorded a loss of $50,000 from an investment. We currently own more than 20% and less than 50%  in Marine Exploration, Inc., a Colorado corporation.  Any net income or net loss must be recorded against our investment, not to exceed the original investment of $50,000.  Since Marine Exploration, Inc. recorded a significant loss over and above our percentage ownership of the loss, we recorded the loss at the amount of the total investment, or $50,000. As a result, this is a non-recurring loss.

To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of proposed business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $65,000 in revenue per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds.

On the other hand, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services or products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
 
We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $60,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
 
As of December 31, 2008, we had cash or cash equivalents of $215,975.
 
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 net cash used in operating activities was $57,285 compared to net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 of $9,360. Net cash used by operating activities was $66,645 from our inception on October 18, 2007 through December 31, 2008.
 
      For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 net cash provided by investing activities was $144,855 compared to net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 of $308,550.  Cash flows used in investing activities were $163,695 from our inception on October 18, 2007 through December 31, 2008.  We purchased certificates of deposit of varying amounts during these periods.  In addition, during the 4th quarter of 2008 we recorded a loss in the amount of $50,000 which was associated with a long-term investment.
 
      For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 net cash flows provided by financing activities were $75,000 compared to net cash flows provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 of $371,315.  Cash flows provided by financing activities were $446,315 from our inception on October 18, 2007 through December 31, 2008.  In 2007 these cash flows were all related to sales of stock.  In 2008 the Company recorded a notes payable of $75,000 from a related party.  Over the next twelve months we do not expect any material our capital costs to develop operations. We plan to buy office equipment to be used in our operations.
 
 
- 14 -

 

We believe that we have sufficient capital in the short term for our current level of operations. This is because we believe that we can develop sufficient revenue within our present organizational structure and resources to become profitable in our operations. We do not anticipate needing to raise additional capital resources in the next twelve months.
 
Our principal source of liquidity will be our operations. We expect variation in revenues to account for the difference between a profit and a loss. Also business activity is closely tied to the U.S. economy. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop investments and our ability to generate revenues.
 
 In any case, we try to operate with minimal overhead. Our primary activity will be to seek to act as an asset manager by raising, investing and managing private equity and direct investment funds. If we succeed in generating sufficient revenues, we will become profitable. We cannot guarantee that this will ever occur. Our plan is to build our company in any manner which will be successful.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 to our financial statements as included in this prospectus. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141R”).  SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for business combinations.   Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transactions at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions.  SFAS No. 141 R will change the accounting treatments and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination.  SFAS No. 141 R applies prospectively to business combinations for with the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Accordingly, any business combinations the Company engages in will be recorded and disclosed following exist in GAAP until January 1, 2009.  The Company expects SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at the time.  The Company has not determined the impact on its financial statements on this accounting standard.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 162”).  This statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.  This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”.  The Company has not determined the impact on its financial statements of this accounting standard.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders:
WestMountain Asset Management, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WestMountain Asset Management, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008, for the period from October 18, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2007 and the period from October 18, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 WestMountain Asset Management, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008, for the period from October 18, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2007 and the period from October 18, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

During 2008, 100% of the Company’s revenue ($113,436) was earned from two related parties.  In addition, during 2008 the Company paid a third related party $22,000 for administrative services.  Related party transactions are not considered to be arm’s length transactions under GAAP (see Note 6).

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses totaling $28,544 since its inception.  In addition, the Company is in the development stage with a limited operating history.  These factors and others discussed in Note 1 raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

WestMountain Asset Management, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements


(1)    Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Nature of Organization and Basis of Presentation
WestMountain Asset Management, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Colorado on October 18, 2007 and on this date approved its business plan and commenced operations.

The Company is a development stage enterprise in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”.  The company’s plan is to manage investments.

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.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is a development stage company with no history of operations, limited assets, and has incurred operating losses since inception.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional operating capital, commence operations, provide competitive services, and ultimately to attain profitability.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.  At December 31, 2008 there was $100,030 in cash equivalents.

Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and accrued liabilities.  At December 31, 2008, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from three to seven years. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing property and equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statements of operations.

Loss per Common Share
The Company reports loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents and is determined by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. At December 31, 2008, there were no variances between the basic and diluted loss per share as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

WestMountain Asset Management, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements

Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue by raising, investing and managing private equity and direct investment funds for high net worth individuals and institutions. Revenue is recognized through management fees based on the size of the funds that are managed and incentive income based on the performance of these funds.

Revenue is recognized under the full accrual method. Under the full accrual method, profit may be realized in full when funds are invested and managed, provided (1) the profit is determinable and (2) the earnings process is virtually complete (the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities).

Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from the management fees. The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. As of December 31, 2008, management recorded the reasonable allowances to fairly represent accounts receivable amounts that are collectable.  For the year ended December 31, 2008 the company did not record any allowance against our accounts receivable balance.

Long Term Investments
The Company has recorded long term investments using the equity method of accounting for investments.  The Company currently owns more than 20% and less than 50%  in Marine Exploration.  The Company currently owns 175,000,000 shares of common stock in Marine Exploration, which represents 49% of total outstanding shares.  Any net income or net loss must be recorded against the Company’s investment, not to exceed the original investment of $50,000.  Since Marine Exploration recorded a significant loss over and above the Company’s percentage ownership of the loss, the Company recorded the loss at the amount of the total investment, or $50,000.

The Company’s other investment in Across America Financial Services, Inc.(Financial Services) is recorded at the original investment amount as the Company’s ownership is less than 20%.  It is a noncash transaction that represents the fair value of services performed by the Company in exchange for shares of common stock of Financial Services.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined.  FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes.  The Company is subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of its formation on November 13, 2007, and has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions.  The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in Colorado as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined.  No prior periods are yet subject to examination as the initial returns for the Company have not yet been filed.  The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48.  In addition, the Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48.

Fiscal Year-end
The Company operates on a December 31 year-end.

For the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company recorded $1,030 in interest income from Bank C.  As certificate of deposit is highly liquid with an original maturity of 3 months or less it is considered by the Company to be a cash equivalent at December 31, 2008.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).   Accordingly, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of December 31, 2008 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
i.            pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
ii.            provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of our  consolidated financial statements in  accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles, and  that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with  authorizations of our management and directors; and
iii.           provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as December 31, 2008.

Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. 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.
