PART I
 
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

WorldVest, Inc. (“WorldVest” or the “Company”) was organized September 17, 2007, under the laws of the state of Florida.  The Company, as a global merchant bank, offers traditional investment banking and advisory services, while also makes direct investments as a principal in select global transactions.

WorldVest, Inc. (“WorldVest”) has established a simplistic and powerful global infrastructure with the objective of sourcing and completing investment transactions with the potential for “outsized” returns.  At present, WorldVest consists of an executive management team (“Management”) and an experienced board of directors and advisors with substantial experience in the areas of global investing, investment banking, trading, venture capital and business management across a wide variety of industries in global markets.  It is Management’s responsibility to develop and manage its subsidiary operating companies, which include WorldVest Finance Corporation (“WV Financial”), an international banking & finance company, and WorldVest Partners (“WV Partners”), an equity development & asset management company charged with creating and launching a series of strategic Platform Development Companies (“PDC”).

As a truly global company, WorldVest pursues transactions without predefined boundaries or limits.  Rather than placing limits on its business areas, WorldVest evaluates opportunities in all geographic markets, industries and stages of development based on their individual merits and seeking to participate in those which offer the greatest opportunity to create absolute risk-adjusted returns.  WorldVest’s principal objective as a global merchant bank is to increase its shareholders’ value by investing in, acquiring, partnering with and advising high-growth companies with an initial focus on those located in North America and the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and secondarily South Korea), which have among the fastest growing GDPs in the world. The combination of its highly experienced management team and its global network of trusted advisors, associates, and affiliate relationships enables WorldVest to access high-caliber transactions from around the world.

Management recognizes the disconnect that exists between the needs of high-growth companies and the limitations of traditional investment banking, private equity, and venture capital institutions. As a global merchant bank, WorldVest has set a new standard, emerging as a partner and solution provider where one did not previously exist.

WorldVest Financial Corporation – International Banking & Advisory Subsidiary

Over the last few years, WorldVest has assembled, through acquisition and organic growth, a unique group of Banking & Financial Advisory assets, each positioned for international transaction growth.  Recently, WorldVest Financial Corporation “WV Financial” was launched as a consolidation of these global operations into an independent International Banking & Finance subsidiary with operations in the United States, China and Brazil and will continue to pursue growth opportunities in the global financial services markets.

WV Financial will operate internationally through three divisions: (i) WorldVest, Inc. dba WorldVest USA, a US based Corporate Finance & advisory company; (ii) FutureVest Management (Shenyang) Co. Ltd., dba China WorldVest Group, a PRC subsidiary with a banking & finance license which has a unique status as a Wholly Foreign Owned Entity operating autonomously in the Peoples Republic of China; and (iii) WorldVest Brasil, Ltda., a Brazilian finance company currently being incorporated under the laws of the country of Brazil.

WorldVest Partners, LLC – Equity Development & Asset Management Subsidiary

To implement its direct investment objectives, WorldVest Partners, LLC is currently being formed as a subsidiary to create a series of Platform Development Companies (“PDCs”) that utilize a wide variety of corporate structures and investment strategies each aimed at capitalizing on strategic equity opportunities in the global marketplace.  Each PDC will be structured with its own unique business and operating objectives with independent growth strategies and in each case, WorldVest Partners will act as external management with the intent to raise equity capital through our partner network and position each PDC for an independent public listing as an exit strategy.  Currently, WorldVest has launched its initial two PDC companies with additional PDC transactions in development:

WorldVest Korea Group – Korean Investment & Development Company

On June 26, 2009, WorldVest signed a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with the Korea Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (“KOTRA”), outlining the creation of the WorldVest Vintage Korea Investment Initiative, which will be further developed into a separate entity to be incorporated as WorldVest Korea Group, LLC  (“WV Korea”).  With the support of KOTRA, WorldVest seeks to strategically invest into mature high-growth South Korean companies seeking to expand globally and list publicly on a U.S. exchange.  In addition to providing an infusion of Capital, WV Korea aims to offer these portfolio companies the additional resources and management expertise necessary to execute their business and growth objectives.  WV Korea will have an initial focus on high technology companies positioned to expand globally though distribution contracts or purchase orders.  Each company acquired in this platform will have a goal to achieve independent growth while preparing for an exit strategy within a three-year period.  Possible exit strategies will be a M&A event such as a sale, merger or an IPO of their stock on a major exchange.

Hurricane Global Resource Corporation – Global Resource Trading, Acquisition & Development

On February 19, 2010, WorldVest launched Hurricane Global Resources Corporation (“Hurricane”) as its second PDC to serve as a global natural resource trading, acquisition & project development company.  As China has overtaken the United States to become the number one trading partner to Brazil, it is clear to see that the flow of global trade of commodities and natural resources between these two countries continues to increase.  Accordingly, WorldVest Partners launched Hurricane to begin trading commodities including such products such as iron ore, sugar and precious metals.  Taking these trading opportunities a step further, Hurricane is in preliminary talks to acquire a slate of commodity reserve properties, which include an iron ore mine in Brazil, a Potash mine in the United States, development rights to a Brazilian “sustainable forestry management” project and a highly unique fish farm in Brazil.  Hurricane seeks to invest in, and consolidate, these and future opportunities while pursuing a public listing on a major exchange.

ITEM 3.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

Holders

As of April 15, 2010, 59,065,317 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued and outstanding.  There are approximately 66 shareholders of our common stock and each shareholder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote.

Dividends

Since inception we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock, when issued pursuant to this offering. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our Board of Directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future.

Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our board of directors may deem relevant.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On December 22, 2009, the Company issued 155,843 shares of its restricted common shares to eight (8) accredited investors in exchange for $233,760 in cash.

We believe the issuance of the shares is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirement of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D, Rule 506.  The shares were issued directly by us and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation.  The recipients of the shares were afforded an opportunity for effective access to our files and records of that contained the relevant information needed to make their investment decision, including our financial statements and 34 Act reports. We reasonably believed that the recipients had such knowledge and experience in the Company’s financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of his investment.

On December 31, 2009, the Company converted $6,000,000 of the principal and interest due under the 9% Convertible Debenture issued by WorldVest Equity, Inc. dated June 22, 2009, into the following securities:

a.  
Four million (4,000,000) shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Shares carrying a 9% interest coupon to be Paid in Kind with each share convertible into one share of the common stock of the Company.   The shares are  issued to WV55 Partners;

b.  
1,000,000 Series C Non-Equity Preferred Shares that carry 100 common stock votes for each Series C Preferred Share Issued.  The shares will be issued WV55 Partners; and

c.  
All accrued interest on the debentures through December 31, 2009, amounting to $284,544, will be paid with WorldVest, Inc. common stock at a price of $1.50 per share resulting in the future issuance of 189,696 common shares.

ITEM 7.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to future events or our future performance. Actual results may materially differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties set forth in this prospectus. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual results will not be different from expectations expressed in this report.

Plan of Operations

During the next twelve months, we seek to continue to develop our operating subsidiaries and platform development companies with the combined goal of maximizing both earnings per share and the net asset value of our investment portfolio.

Within WV Financial, we plan to complete the formation and capitalization of a Fundo de Investimento em Diretos Creditorios (“FIDC”), a Brazilian structured credit receivables fund investing in highly-rated short term receivables within the retail and consumer finance sectors in Brazil.  Additionally, WorldVest seeks to acquire a multiple license Brazilian commercial and Investment Bank, an established Brazilian financial management company and an emerging U.S. Mortgage Bank currently licensed in California.  Through the consolidation of these assets, WV Financial will become a diversified and far reaching global financial holding company positioned for an independent public listing.

WorldVest Partners aims to capitalize and further develop its existing two platform development companies.  Under Hurricane Global Resource Corporation, WorldVest Partners anticipates commending brokering the trade of iron ore between Latin America and its Chinese buyer, currently under LOI.  On the strength of this buyer, Hurricane aims to complete the acquisition of one or more iron ore reserves to be developed into a producing mine(s), while also pursuing additional investments in natural resource related assets.

We also plan to raise a minimum of USD $5 million in new capital into the Company through a Regulation D private placement offering, which we anticipate launching in April/May of 2010.  Further, we plan to launch parallel Regulation D private placement offerings in both WV Finance and Hurricane in the coming months in order to independently finance their ongoing focused operations.

Limited Operating History

We have generated approximately two full years 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.  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 year ended December 31, 2009, we had revenue of $41,700. Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009, totaled $1,302,540 resulting in a loss of $2,134,079. Total expenses of $1,302,540 for the period consisted of $806,676 for general and administrative expenses, $180,810 for rent expense, $2,898 for depreciation expense and $100,000 for deferred investment costs written off.  Additionally, we had other income of $49,602 and interest expense of $922,841 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, we had revenue of $-0-.  Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 totaled $986,602 resulting in a loss of $1,020,454. Total expenses of $986,602 for the period consisted of $29,760 for professional fees - related party, $200,000 for executive compensation, $649,048 for general & administrative expenses, and $651 for depreciation expense, $1,143 for Loss of Property, $6,000 for deferred investment costs written off, $100,000 for deposit on investment written off.  Additionally, we had other income of $-0- and interest expense of $33,230 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

As of December 31, 2009, we had $2,480 in cash, $714,236 in total assets and $1,931,415 in total current liabilities.  Our current liabilities exceed our current assets by $1,889,395 as of December 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.  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.

Per our Form 8-K, dated June 26, 2009, WorldVest, Inc. acquired the global merchant banking operations from WorldVest Equity, Inc.  Pursuant to the agreement, we acquired Global Banking & Advisory assets from WorldVest Equity, which currently employs eleven (11) individuals, and is headquartered in New York and Los Angeles offices.  With this transaction we acquired the assets of FutureVest Management (Shenyang) Co., Ltd., a unique license to perform investment banking, advisory, and investment management services in the Peoples Republic of China, without the need for any Chinese partners.  Through this acquisition, we are able to provide capital financing and venture services, as well as use the extensive WorldVest global relationships to enhance and support the development of the WorldVest Global Merchant banking plan.  Additionally, through this acquisition, we believe we can attract 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 in Companies Accounting for Using the Equity or Cost Method

Investments in other entities are accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Investments of this nature are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investees' net income or losses after the date of investment. In accordance with ASC 323, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, when net losses from an investment accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. When an investment accounted for using the equity method issues its own shares, the subsequent reduction in the Company's proportionate interest in the investee is reflected in income as a deemed dilution gain proportionate interest in or loss on disposition. The Company evaluates its investments in companies accounted for by the equity or cost method for impairment when there is evidence or indicators that a decrease in value may be other than temporary.

Revenue recognition

The Company will recognize revenues through Investment banking, consulting, financial advisory services, and direct investments consolidating revenues of our wholly owned platform development subsidiary operations and majority owned investments, and through cash flow generated from our subsidiaries and investments.

Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 regarding subsequent events and amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements.  Under this ASU, a public company that is a SEC filer, as defined, is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This ASU is effective upon the issuance of this ASU.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements.  This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers.  Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 regarding accounting and reporting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary.  Under this guidance, an entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary.  Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value.  In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction.  This ASU clarifies the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions, and expands the disclosures about the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets.  This ASU is effective for beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 31, 2009.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01 regarding equity and accounting for distributions to shareholders with components of stock and cash.  This ASU addresses the diversity in practice related to the accounting for a distribution to shareholders that offers them the ability to elect to receive their entire distribution in cash or shares of equivalent value with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate.  Historically, some entities have accounted for the stock portion of the distribution as a new share issuance that is reflected in earning per share (EPS) prospectively. Other entities have accounted for the stock portion of the distribution as a stock dividend by retroactively restating shares outstanding and EPS for all periods presented.  The amendments in this ASU clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or shares with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance thus eliminating the diversity in practice.  The amendments in this ASU affect entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate.  This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and it is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17 regarding consolidations and improvements to financial reporting by enterprises involved with VIEs. This ASU changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting should be consolidated.  The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.  This statement is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010). We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of ASU No. 2009-17 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its equivalent).  This ASU permits use of a practical expedient, with appropriate disclosures, when measuring the fair value of an alternative investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value.  ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted.  Since the Company does not currently have any such investments, it does not anticipate any impact on its financial statements upon adoption.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.  This ASU clarifies the fair market value measurement of liabilities.  In circumstances where a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: a technique that uses quoted price of the identical or a similar liability or liabilities when traded as an asset or assets, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820 such as an income or market approach.  ASU No. 2009-05 was effective upon issuance and it did not result in any significant financial impact on the Company upon adoption.

On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) officially launched the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105 -- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification”), as the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental, U.S. GAAP, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Codification is designed to simplify U.S. GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure.  All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.  The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Accordingly, the Company refers to the Codification in respect of the appropriate accounting standards throughout this document as “FASB ASC”.  Implementation of the Codification did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On June 30, 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-01 (Topic 105) – Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – amendments based on – Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 – The FASB Accounting and Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Beginning with this Statement the FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts.  Instead, it will issue Accounting Standard Updates.  This ASU includes FASB Statement No. 168 in its entirety.  While ASU’s will not be considered authoritative in their own right, they will serve to update the Codification, provide the bases for conclusions and changes in the Codification, and provide background information about the guidance.  The Codification modifies the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP:  authoritative and non-authoritative.  ASU No. 2009-01 is effective for financial statements issued for the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and the Company does not expect any significant financial impact upon adoption.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”.  SFAS No. 167 addresses the effect on FASB Interpretation 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept of SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”.  SFAS No. 167 also amends the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB Interpretation 46(R) to enhance the timeliness and usefulness of information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This Statement shall be effective as of the Company’s first interim reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company does not anticipate any significant financial impact from adoption of SFAS No. 167. As of September 30, 2009, SFAS No. 167 has not been added to the Codification.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”.  SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” by eliminating the concept of special-purpose entity, requiring the reporting entity to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets, changes the requirements for the de-recognition of financial assets, and provides for the sellers of the assets to make additional disclosures.  This Statement shall be effective as of the Company’s first interim reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company does not anticipate any significant financial impact from adoption of SFAS No. 166. As of September 30, 2009, SFAS No. 166 has not been added to the Codification.

In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”.  This Statement addresses accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued.  FASB ASC 855 requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, the date issued or date available to be issued.  The Company adopted this Statement in the second quarter of 2009.  As a result the date through which the Company has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date have been disclosed.

In April 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, related to providing guidance on when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly.  The update clarifies the methodology to be used to determine fair value when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales.  The update also reaffirms the objective of fair value measurement, as stated in FASB ASC 820, which is to reflect how much an asset would be sold in and orderly transaction, and the need to use judgment to determine if a formerly active market has become inactive, as well as to determine fair values when markets have become inactive.  The Company adopted this Statement in the second quarter of 2009 without significant financial impact.

In April 2009, the FASB ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity”, amends current other-than-temporary guidance for debt securities through increased consistency in the timing of impairment recognition and enhanced disclosures related to credit and noncredit components impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold.  Also, the Statement increases disclosures for both debt and equity securities regarding expected cash flows, securities with unrealized losses, and credit losses.  The Company adopted this Statement in the second quarter of 2009 without significant impact to our financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, to require interim disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments”.  This update enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures of those assets and liabilities falling within the scope of FASB ASC 825. The Company adopted this update in the second quarter of 2009 without significant impact to the financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, that clarifies and amends FASB ASC 805, as it applies to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies.  This update addresses initial recognition and measurement issues, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures regarding these assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination.  The Company adopted this Statement in the second quarter of 2009 without significant impact to the financial statements.

In January 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 325, “Investments – Other”, which amends the impairments guidance on recognition of interest income and impairment on purchased beneficial interests and beneficial interests that continue to be held by a transferor in securitized financial assets to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The update also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”, and other related guidance.  The adoption of this update in the second quarter of 2009 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2008, EITF issued new guidance under FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” on accounting for defensive intangible assets”.  The new guidance applies to all acquired intangible assets in which the acquirer does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold (lock up) the asset to prevent its competitors from obtaining or using the asset (a defensive asset).  This guidance was adopted by WorldVest in January 2009 without impact to the financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 470, “Debt”, with respect to accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion including partial cash settlement.  This update applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”  Additionally, this update specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost recognized in subsequent periods. The update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company does not currently have any debt instruments for which this update would apply.  This update was adopted in January 2009 without significant financial impact.

In March 2008, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” This update is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in FASB ASC 815.  Under this update, entities will have to provide disclosures about (a) how and why and entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB ASC 815 and its related interpretations, and (c), how derivative instruments and related hedged items effect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  This update is effective for all financial statements issued for fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments, nor does it engage in hedging activities, therefore, the Company’s adoption of this update in the first quarter of 2009 was without significant financial impact.

In December 2007, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the goodwill acquired. This update also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This update is effective for the Company with respect to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2009 without significant financial impact.

In December 2007, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation”, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of non-controlling owners. This update is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The Company adopted this update in January 2009 without significant impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of WorldVest, Inc.
 
 
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of WorldVest, Inc. (“the Company”) (formerly known as Catalyst Ventures Incorporated) as of December 31, 2009 and2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009 and for the period from September 17, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2009. WorldVest’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of WorldVest as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2009 and for the period from September 17, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the combined financial statements, the Company’s current liabilities exceed current assets and has incurred recurring losses, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

WorldVest, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
(formerly Catalyst Ventures Incorporated)
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Description of Business
 
WorldVest, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (hereafter “WorldVest” or the “Company”) was organized September 17, 2007 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Florida, under the name Catalyst Ventures Incorporated.  The Company filed for a name change on July 2, 2009, and is now known as WorldVest, Inc.  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 to grow as a global merchant bank that offers not only traditional investment banking, asset management and advisory services, but also makes direct investments as a principal in select high-growth transactions on a global basis.  Recognizing the disconnect that exists between the needs of companies and the limitations of traditional investment banking, private equity, and venture capital institutions, WorldVest seeks to set a new standard, emerging as a partner and solution provider where one did not previously exist.
 
The Company is considered a development stage company and in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915, “Development Stage Entities.”
 
Principles of Combination
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805, “Business Combinations” ASC 805 a “business combination” excludes transfers of net assets or exchanges of equity interests between entities under common control. ASC 805 also states that transfers of net assets or exchanges of equity interests between entities under common control should be accounted for similar to the pooling-of-interests method (“as-if pooling-of-interests”) in that the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests initially recognizes the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer. Because the Company and WorldVest, LLC and FutureVest were under common control at the time of the acquisitions, the transfer of assets and liabilities of WorldVest, LLC and FutureVest were accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. For financial accounting purposes, the acquisition was viewed as a change in reporting entity and, as a result, required restatement of the Company’s financial statements for all periods subsequent to June 18, 2009, the date of the Transaction and the date at which common control of the Company and WorldVest, LLC and FutureVest by WorldVest, Inc. commenced. Accordingly, the Company’s combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the combined statement of operations, combined statement of stockholders’ deficit and combined statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the period from September 17, 2007 through December 31, 2009 include WorldVest, Inc., WorldVest, LLC and FutureVest.
 
Business Combinations
 
On June 18, 2009, the Company acquired the Global Banking & Advisory assets of WorldVest Equity, Inc., a related-party entity, for $6 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The purchase price consisted of a convertible debenture of $6 million. As described above, since WorldVest, Inc. was under control of WorldVest Equity, Inc. at the time of the asset acquisitions, the transfer of assets and liabilities of WorldVest, LLC and FutureVest were accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. The $6 million of convertible debentures paid to WorldVest Equity, Inc., a related party, for 100% of the Banking & Advisory assets was treated as dividend and recorded to retained earnings.  In “as-if pooling-of-interests” accounting, financial statements of the previously separate companies for periods under common control prior to the combination are restated on a combined basis to furnish comparative information. At June 30, 2009, the WorldVest, LLC assets added $924,447 of total assets and FutureVest added $114,740 of total assets.  For the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, WorldVest, LLC assets added revenue and net loss of $28,439 and $641,557, respectively. For the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, FutureVest added revenue and net loss of $-0- and $21,741, respectively.
 
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 December 31, 2009.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
 
Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Investments in Companies Accounting for Using the Equity or Cost Method
 
Investments in other entities are accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Investments of this nature are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investees' net income or losses after the date of investment. In accordance with ASC 323, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures”, when net losses from an investment accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred. When an investment accounted for using the equity method issues its own shares, the subsequent reduction in the Company's proportionate interest in the investee is reflected in income as a deemed dilution gain proportionate interest in or loss on disposition. The Company evaluates its investments in companies accounted for by the equity or cost method for impairment when there is evidence or indicators that a decrease in value may be other than temporary.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company will recognize revenues from Investment Banking, consulting, financial advisory services, and direct investments consolidating revenues of our wholly owned subsidiary operations and majority owned investments, and through cash flow generated from our subsidiaries and investments.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement.
 
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 years ended December 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 accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

WorldVest, Inc.

(formerly Catalyst Ventures Incorporated)
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
 
Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
 
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, 2009 due to their short-term nature.
 
Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 regarding subsequent events and amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements.  Under this ASU, a public company that is a SEC filer, as defined, is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This ASU is effective upon the issuance of this ASU.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements.  This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers.  Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. 
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 regarding accounting and reporting for decreases in ownership of a subsidiary.  Under this guidance, an entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary.  Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value.  In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in its ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction.  This ASU clarifies the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions, and expands the disclosures about the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets.  This ASU is effective for beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 31, 2009.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01 regarding equity and accounting for distributions to shareholders with components of stock and cash.  This ASU addresses the diversity in practice related to the accounting for a distribution to shareholders that offers them the ability to elect to receive their entire distribution in cash or shares of equivalent value with potential limitation on the total amount of cash that shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate.  Historically, some entities have accounted for the stock portion of the distribution as a new share issuance that is reflected in earning per share (EPS) prospectively. Other entities have accounted for the stock portion of the distribution as a stock dividend by retroactively restating shares outstanding and EPS for all periods presented.  The amendments in this ASU clarify that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or shares with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance thus eliminating the diversity in practice.

Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
The amendments in this ASU affect entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate.  This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and it is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17 regarding consolidations and improvements to financial reporting by enterprises involved with VIEs. This ASU changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting should be consolidated.  The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance.  This statement is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010). We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of ASU No. 2009-17 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its equivalent).  This ASU permits use of a practical expedient, with appropriate disclosures, when measuring the fair value of an alternative investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value.  ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted.  Since the Company does not currently have any such investments, it does not anticipate any impact on its financial statements upon adoption.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.  This ASU clarifies the fair market value measurement of liabilities.  In circumstances where a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: a technique that uses quoted price of the identical or a similar liability or liabilities when traded as an asset or assets, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820 such as an income or market approach.  ASU No. 2009-05 was effective upon issuance and it did not result in any significant financial impact on the Company upon adoption.
 
On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) officially launched the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105 -- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification”), as the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental, U.S. GAAP, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Codification is designed to simplify U.S. GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure.  All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.  The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Accordingly, the Company refers to the Codification in respect of the appropriate accounting standards throughout this document as “FASB ASC”.  Implementation of the Codification did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
On June 30, 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-01 (Topic 105) – Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – amendments based on – Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 – The FASB Accounting and Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Beginning with this Statement the FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts.  Instead, it will issue Accounting Standard Updates.  This ASU includes FASB Statement No. 168 in its entirety.  While ASU’s will not be considered authoritative in their own right, they will serve to update the Codification, provide the bases for conclusions and changes in the Codification, and provide background information about the guidance.  The Codification modifies the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP:  authoritative and non-authoritative.  ASU No. 2009-01 is effective for financial statements issued for the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and the Company does not expect any significant financial impact upon adoption

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”.  SFAS No. 167 addresses the effect on FASB Interpretation 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept of SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”.  SFAS No. 167 also amends the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB Interpretation 46(R) to enhance the timeliness and usefulness of information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This Statement shall be effective as of the Company’s first interim reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company does not anticipate any significant financial impact from adoption of SFAS No. 167. As of September 30, 2009, SFAS No. 167 has not been added to the Codification.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”.  SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” by eliminating the concept of special-purpose entity, requiring the reporting entity to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets, changes the requirements for the de-recognition of financial assets, and provides for the sellers of the assets to make additional disclosures.  This Statement shall be effective as of the Company’s first interim reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited.  The Company does not anticipate any significant financial impact from adoption of SFAS No. 166. As of September 30, 2009, SFAS No. 166 has not been added to the Codification.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”.  This Statement addresses accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued.  FASB ASC 855 requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, the date issued or date available to be issued.  The Company adopted this Statement in the second quarter of 2009.  As a result the date through which the Company has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date have been disclosed in Note 12, Subsequent Events.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, related to providing guidance on when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly.  The update clarifies the methodology to be used to determine fair value when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales.  The update also reaffirms the objective of fair value measurement, as stated in FASB ASC 820, which is to reflect how much an asset would be sold in and orderly transaction, and the need to use judgment to determine if a formerly active market has become inactive, as well as to determine fair values when markets have become inactive.  The Company adopted this Statement in the second quarter of 2009 without significant financial impact.
 
In April 2009, the FASB ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity”, amends current other-than-temporary guidance for debt securities through increased consistency in the timing of impairment recognition and enhanced disclosures related to credit and noncredit components impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold.  Also, the Statement increases disclosures for both debt and equity securities regarding expected cash flows, securities with unrealized losses, and credit losses.  The Company adopted this Statement in the second quarter of 2009 without significant impact to our financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, to require interim disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments”.  This update enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures of those assets and liabilities falling within the scope of FASB ASC 825. The Company adopted this update in the second quarter of 2009 without significant impact to the financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, that clarifies and amends FASB ASC 805, as it applies to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies.  This update addresses initial recognition and measurement issues, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures regarding these assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination.  The Company adopted this Statement in the second quarter of 2009 without significant impact to the financial statements.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
 
Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
In January 2009, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 325, “Investments – Other”, which amends the impairments guidance on recognition of interest income and impairment on purchased beneficial interests and beneficial interests that continue to be held by a transferor in securitized financial assets to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The update also retains and emphasizes the objective of another than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”, and other related guidance.  The adoption of this update in the second quarter of 2009 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In November 2008, EITF issued new guidance under FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” on accounting for defensive intangible assets”.  The new guidance applies to all acquired intangible assets in which the acquirer does not intend to actively use the asset but intends to hold (lock up) the asset to prevent its competitors from obtaining or using the asset (a defensive asset).  This guidance was adopted by the Company in January 2009 without impact to the financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 470, “Debt”, with respect to accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion including partial cash settlement.  This update applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”.  Additionally, this update specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost recognized in subsequent periods. The update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company does not currently have any debt instruments for which this update would apply.  This update was adopted in January 2009 without significant financial impact.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” This update is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in FASB ASC 815.  Under this update, entities will have to provide disclosures about (a) how and why and entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB ASC 815 and its related interpretations, and (c), how derivative instruments and related hedged items effect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.  This update is effective for all financial statements issued for fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments, nor does it engage in hedging activities, therefore, the Company’s adoption of this update in the first quarter of 2009 was without significant financial impact.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” which 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. This update also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This update is effective for the Company with respect to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2009 without significant financial impact.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation”, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of noncontrolling owners. This update is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The Company adopted this update in January 2009 without significant impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.

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 consolidated net losses of $6,008,037 from the period September 17, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2009.  The Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by $1,889,395 as of December 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 of USD $5 Million through it a preferred share private placement offering, which will be launched on May 1, 2010, which will pay a 9% paid in kind coupon and the preferred shares will convert into common shares.  The offering may also include warrants in WorldVest. Management believes it will be able to successfully sell out the USD $5 Million financing which should finance the growth through profitability.  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, but has opened the private placement to accredited investors and institutions.
 
Note 3: Business Combinations
 
On June 22, 2009 and amended on August 19, 2009 we completed an agreement with our parent company, whereby WorldVest Equity, Inc. to acquire its global banking and advisory operations.  As part of this agreement, we acquired Banking and Advisory assets from WorldVest, LLC (“WVUSA”), a Nevada Company and 100% of FutureVest Management (Shenyang) Co., Ltd. from WorldVest Equity, Inc. in accordance with the terms and conditions of a contemporaneously executed and delivered WorldVest, Inc. – WorldVest Equity, Inc. Purchase Agreement.
 
As a global merchant bank, WorldVest will focus on providing premier investment banking, advisory and asset management services, as well as making direct investments as a principal in select global transactions.  WorldVest will focus on two areas of business: Global Banking & Advisory and Asset Management.  WorldVest maximizes shareholder value by creating synergies between its operating divisions, allowing us to provide a full complement of services to a wide variety of clients while choosing the highest caliber transactions to pursue as direct investments.
 
As part of the WorldVest asset and liability acquisition the Company acquired 20% of Ascher Decision Services (“Ascher”) with an option to purchase the remaining 80% of Ascher upon the final approval from FINRA.  Additionally, the Company acquired the rights to purchase 100% all current acquisition projects of WorldVest, LLC, which included the LOI to purchase a Brazilian multiple license bank, and a Brazilian retail company.  In February 2008, WorldVest, LLC paid $750,000 to an unrelated third party for the rights to acquire the three entities above.  As of December 31, 2009, WorldVest has not formally closed on these transactions and the Company has recorded as deferred acquisition costs, which is classified as other assets.  Additionally, the Company spent $124,500 in direct acquisition costs related to these entities and have recorded that amount to deferred acquisition costs.  On December 31, 2009 due to the inability of WorldVest and Management of Ascher to finalize their original agreement the 20% of Ascher was sold back to CCG for $24,499 and the company took a $100,000 write off effective on December 31, 2009.

Note 11: 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 8).  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.
 
On June 9, 2008 the Company cancelled four of the six contracts to provide professional services and the stock certificates for 20,000,000 shares of the restricted common stock, which represented all of the stock issued for those contracts, were also cancelled and returned to the Company.  The related prepaid professional fees recorded on the books of the Company of $15,000,000 less $576,613 of the prepaid professional fees which were amortized and expensed as of the period ended March 31, 2008, have been reversed on the books of the Company as of June 30, 2008.  The agreements provide for the development and implementation of advertising and marketing programs and concurrent efforts at business development.
 
On August 13, 2008 the Company cancelled the remaining two of the six contracts to provide professional services and the stock certificates for 10,000,000 shares of the restricted common stock, which represented all of the stock issued for those contracts, were also cancelled and returned to the Company.   The agreements provide for the development and implementation of advertising and marketing programs and concurrent efforts at business development.
 
Note 12: Subsequent Events
 
On February 19, 2010, The Company announced today the formation and launch of Hurricane Global Resource Corporation (“Hurricane”) as a platform development subsidiary.  Hurricane will engage in global trading of in-demand resources between high growth markets such as Latin America and Asia and will seek to secure continuous long-term supply through strategic acquisitions in a diversified slate of natural resource projects.
 
The Company will independently manage all Hurricane operations through a dedicated team of professionals experienced in acquisition, development and management of global resource properties.  With an extensive worldwide network of resources, The Company is confident in its ability to transform its current slate of resource M&A targets into long-term global supplies and strong revenue growth.
 
Hurricane’s launch coincides with the signing of a Letter of Intent with a large Chinese steel manufacturer with a government approved import license seeking a long-term iron ore supply with an initial monthly requirement of up to 1.2 million metric tons.  In order to fulfill this long-term demand, Hurricane has entered into negotiations for the acquisition of two properties, each estimated to contain significantly more than 500 million tons of iron ore reserves.  In the near term, Hurricane’s objective is to finalize a long-term purchase contract based on terms of LOI and to secure internal supply through the completion of at least one of its two acquisition targets.  In the near term, Hurricane anticipates securing multiple short-term Brazilian iron ore supplies and brokering initial shipments to China immediately creating positive cash flow.
 
In addition to these initial two iron ore investment targets, Hurricane has identified a Brazilian sustainable forestry management project and a significant U.S. based potash reserve each representing unique and attractive growth opportunities.  Collectively, management believes that Hurricane can consolidate these and other future resource opportunities creating a diversified and lucrative asset portfolio, ultimately positioning Hurricane for an independent public listing of its common shares on a major exchange. 
 
On February 23, 2010, The Company consolidated of all finance subsidiary operations in the United States, Brazil and China under new wholly owned subsidiary, WorldVest Financial Corporation (“WV Financial”), which is strategically positioned to immediately capitalize on growth opportunities in these and other global financial markets.  The Company will continue implementing the focused growth of WV Financial, while simultaneously building its platform development companies, WorldVest Korea Group and Hurricane Global Resources Corporation, through its equity development & asset management subsidiary, WorldVest Partners.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
 
Note 12: Subsequent Events (Continued)
 
WV Financial will seek to achieve significant growth within the Brazilian banking & finance sector with the pending launch of WorldVest Brasil Finance FIDC, a securitized credit receivables fund aimed at deploying capital into the Brazilian consumer finance and credit card markets.  WV Financial will also work toward finalizing the acquisition of a Brazilian multiple license commercial and investment bank, currently under Letter of Intent.
 
Additionally, WV Financial anticipates accelerated growth in its Chinese deal flow through its wholly owned Chinese financial advisory subsidiary, FutureVest Management (Shenyang) Co. Ltd., dba. China WorldVest Advisors, and the continued expansion of its U.S. corporate finance & advisory business.  Further, WV Financial looks to pursue additional banking & finance related M&A opportunities in the United States and Brazil.
 
On March 30, 2010, The Company’s to be formed subsidiary Hurricane Global Resource Corporation signed a Joint Venture to launch its Chinese Iron Ore Sales Office in Tianjin, China.  Simultaneously, Hurricane announced the addition of Qianli Ma, as its Managing Director in charge of negotiating and managing all Hurricane relationships with the Chinese steel industry.  Mr. Qianli Ma has extensive experience and far-reaching relationships within this industry as well as within the state and federal governments of China.
 
Through the addition of its Chinese Sales office, Hurricane has begun assembling a consortium of steel producers seeking to secure long-term supplies of iron ore.   In partnership with these buyers, Hurricane is currently evaluating opportunities to invest in and develop global reserve assets into producing iron ore mines for the benefit of the consortium. While pursuing its long-term mineral acquisition and development endeavors, Hurricane has begun sourcing interim supply and plans to broker iron ore transactions on behalf of its buyers.
 
On April 5, 2010, The Company’s to be formed subsidiary Hurricane Global Resource Corporation (“Hurricane”), announced today that it has secured its first iron ore purchase contract from a prominent Chinese commodities import and trading company (the “Buyer”).  Through this contract, the Buyer has agreed to purchase up to 12 million tonnes of iron ore annually from Hurricane, with an annual current market value of $1.4 billion USD.  Through its broad relationships in Latin America, Hurricane has begun sourcing available iron ore supplies to fulfill this contract with long-term plans to acquire and develop into production a slate of Hurricane owned iron ore reserve properties.
 
Initially, Hurricane has contracted with its first iron ore producer to fulfill approximately 20% of the annual contract volume.  Subsequently, the Buyer has accepted and signed a “Supplier Addendum”, pursuant to the terms of the purchase contract, accepting the specifications of this initial iron ore supply.  Pending a mine site visit by the Buyer, the first monthly shipment of 70,000 tonnes is scheduled to occur within a period of 45 days, with monthly volumes increasing to 150,000 tonnes in the third month and 300,000 tonnes by the eighth month.  The contract calls for a total first year delivery volume of 2,390,000 tonnes at a value of $286,800,000.

ITEM 9.     CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Our accountant is L.L. Bradford & Company, LLC, CPAs, independent certified public accountants. We do not presently intend to change accountants. At no time have there been any disagreements with such accountants regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

ITEM 9A(T).  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”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.  Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “ Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the purposes for which it is intended.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B.  OTHER INFORMATION

Independent Director

The business background description of the officers and directors:

Mr. Garrett K. Krause, CEO/Chairman: For over 25 years, Garrett K. Krause has been a successful entrepreneur, dealmaker, venture banker and investor with active participation in over 50 global transactions in both private and public companies in domestic and international markets. A true entrepreneur, at the age of 18, Mr. Krause was on the cutting edge of the 1980’s software explosion as the inventor of a first generation PC based retail inventory point of sale system. In 1988, Mr. Krause sold his software technology to the world’s leading cash register manufacturer NCR, and has spent the ensuing 21 years providing "smart capital" and “strategic entrepreneurial advisory” as an integral part of many global ventures. One of these ventures was as an early investor in small public Canadian oil and gas Company, which grew from the point of near bankruptcy, producing only 60 barrels of oil a day, to become one of the largest independent oil producers in Canada, eventually listing on the NYSE and ultimately selling to the Chinese government in 2005 for over $4 billion.  It was through this transaction and the subsequent business relationships in China that had led to WorldVest securing its rare, independent, Chinese business license now operating as FutureVest Management (Shenyang) Co. Ltd.

Mr. Krause's career as a lead investor, principal, banker and consultant has provided a unique experience and viewpoint for operating in today's ever-convergent global business world.  These views have been incorporated as a driving force in the overall vision and successful creation of WorldVest, its Banking and Finance Subsidiary and initial and developing Platform Development Companies.  Mr. Krause is currently Managing Director of WorldVest Equity, Inc. (OTC: WVVEF) and Wilmington Rexford International, Inc.  Mr. Krause also sits as a Director of Barotex Technology Corporation (OTC: BARX) as well as the boards of many other private companies.  Mr. Krause studied finance and accounting at the University of Calgary, Canada and currently lives in Malibu, CA with his wife and 2 daughters.

Disclosure: In 1994 Mr. Krause made a $300,000 investment in a company located in Las Vegas, Nevada and due to some previous issues with the original company founder not disclosed within the transaction, subsequent legal action was taken and Mr. Krause was included as a second defendant.  Several years later, the lawsuit became dormant due to the death of the principal defendant.  Mr. Krause wrongly took the assumption that his lawyer had the case dismissed.  In 1997, the plaintiff went to court and obtained a $30 million default judgment against Mr. Krause personally by serving him at a previous address.  After becoming aware of the personal judgment against him in late 1999, Mr. Krause’s spent several years and almost a half million dollars in legal fees fighting through the Nevada court system seeking his day in court.  Mr. Krause and his counsel heavily disputed the allegations, findings and facts, which led to the default judgment.  In October of 2005 at the advice of his legal counsel, Mr. Krause filed personal Bankruptcy in an effort to move the case from local Nevada courts to the Federal Bankruptcy Court where he felt he would finally be granted a hearing and an opportunity to dispute the merits of the judgment.  In the first hearing on this case the Bankruptcy Judge dismissed the judgment with prejudice and the case and Mr. Krause’s Bankruptcy was immediately discharged.  This decision held up on appeal and the case was settled for $250,000 before final the results of the Appeal to the Supreme Court could be heard.

Mr. Michael Carney, Executive Vice President: Mr. Carney has been instrumental the early development of WorldVest as a global merchant bank. Paramount among his accomplishments has been the development of the WorldVest retail syndication network and the Company’s business development efforts throughout Asia.  Mr. Carney brings substantial experience in transactional due diligence, structuring and capital syndication. Prior to joining WorldVest, Mr. Carney worked with Castle Arch Real Estate Investment Company, a Los Angeles based private equity real estate development firm, where he was responsible for developing sales, marketing, and investor education campaigns targeted to high net worth investors. Previously, Mr. Carney spent one year working for the Kyunggido Provincial Ministry of Education in Seoul, South Korea while learning conversational Korean.  Mr. Carney earned a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California-Santa Barbara.

Mr. Conrad Chase, Executive Vice President: Mr. Chase is responsible for raising investment capital, sourcing investment opportunities, and attracting strategic global partners to the Company.  As an indication of his entrepreneurial mettle, Mr. Chase successfully started and profitably sold two businesses while college in order to finance his college education. Early in his career, Mr. Chase spent one year working for the Kyunggido Provincial Ministry of Education in Seoul, South Korea while learning conversational Korean.  Mr. Chase also is also multi-lingual with conversational fluency in Portuguese, Spanish and Italian.  After returning to the U.S., Mr. Chase was responsible for developing sales, marketing, and investor education campaigns to high net worth investors for Castle Arch Real Estate Investment Co., a Los Angeles based private equity & real estate development firm. Mr. Chase earned a B.S. in International Studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Mr. Richard T. Whelan, Independent Director: Mr. Whelan is the Senior Managing Partner of Alexis Global Investors an international asset management company headquartered in New York City.  In this role he is responsible for overseeing the general operations of the company including leading all fund raising efforts, validating all transactional due diligence and approving each capital deployment.  Mr. Whelan’s extensive experience with multi-billion dollar companies and projects coupled with his management and leadership experience have and will continue to translate into success within each role he occupies and bring immeasurable value to the WorldVest team.

Through a 20 year career as a United States Naval Supply Officer and 5 years as a civilian consultant specializing in financial management, Richard T. Whelan has built a reputation for integrity, attention to detail, and execution under demanding circumstances.  Upon graduating from the United States Naval Academy with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and throughout his Naval career he was the recipient of numerous awards and honors for outstanding performance.  Throughout this distinguished career, including numerous combat and non-combat deployments, Mr. Whelan excelled in the areas of personnel management, financial management, procurement, logistics, and facilities support.  While in the Navy, he continued his education receiving a MBA from San Diego State University.  Since retiring from the Navy in 2003, Mr. Whelan has held many high-level consultant positions for both the US government and large private corporations in the defense industry.

Most recently, prior to the formation of Alexis Global, Mr. Whelan was a Deputy Director, with Raytheon Technical Services Company, as part of the ITAM-Army Support Operations and Multi-National Security Transition Team in Iraq.  In this role, he was responsible for supervising procurement and construction initiatives designed to generate and train Iraqi Army units at 13 Division Level Location Commands located throughout Iraq.

There are no agreements or understandings for an officer or director to resign at the request of another person and the above-named officer and director is not acting on behalf of nor will act at the direction of any other person.

Term of Office

Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.

All officers and directors listed above will remain in office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders, and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. There are no agreements with respect to the election of Directors. We have not compensated our Directors for service on our Board of Directors, any committee thereof, or reimbursed for expenses incurred for attendance at meetings of our Board of Directors and/or any committee of our Board of Directors.

34

 
 
None of our Officers and/or Directors have filed any bankruptcy petition, been convicted of or been the subject of any criminal proceedings or the subject of any order, judgment or decree involving the violation of any state or federal securities laws within the past five (5) years.

Audit Committee

We do not have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors. Management has determined not to establish an audit committee at present because of our limited resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit committee or the expense of doing so.  Besides the services of Mr. Garrett Krause, we do not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B is beyond its limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an expert are simply not required or necessary for us to maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in its financial statements at this stage of its development.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, during the past five (5) years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:

·  
the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

·  
convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

·  
subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or

·  
found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.

Compliance With Section 16(A) Of The Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are required to furnish copies to the Company. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, any reports required to be filed were timely filed in fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Auditors; Code of Ethics; Financial Expert

We do not have an audit committee financial expert.  We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive.  Furthermore, because we are only beginning our commercial operations, at the present time, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
 
Potential Conflicts of Interest

We are not aware of any current or potential conflicts of interest with any of our executives or directors.

Forward Executive Compensation Overview
 
In order to serve the best interests of shareholders, the Company follows an executive compensation philosophy that emphasizes Performance-Based Compensation, which will be evaluated and adjusted on an annual basis by the Company’s Board of Directors.  In determining compensation in 2010, the Company has considered measures of performance as it directly relates to positive earnings for the Company.  In the future, the Company may adapt additional metrics similar to those of like companies in our space, which may include increased earnings per share, increased return on equity, or specific performance benchmarks agreed upon by the Company’s senior management and the Board of Directors.   The terms of the 2010 Executive Compensation are detailed below, and outlined in each executive officer’s (“Management”) Compensation Agreement dated January 1, 2010.
For the fiscal year 2009, the Company failed to generate Positive Earnings, and as such, no bonuses or incentives under this plan were paid to Management.

Executive officers receive annual total compensation comprised of base salary, and both cash and equity incentive compensation. Base salaries are intended to be a small portion of the total compensation with regards to the types of compensation available for Management.  Additionally, the Company believes that the best way to align the interests of executive management with those of the Company’s shareholders is to ensure that WorldVest stock represents a substantial portion of their compensation.  Per the compensation agreements signed with the Company, Management receives the following types of compensation: Salary, cash Bonus, stock bonus.

Executive Salaries:

Salaries are set at the beginning of the year by the Company. Salaries for each executive officer aside from the CEO shall be set by the CEO.  The current base cash salary for the CEO was agreed to be $120,000 and the 2 current Executive Vice Presidents will be paid a base salary of $54,000 per year

Cash Bonus:

The Company has established a “bonus matrix” which calls for distributions of the Company’s net earnings, based upon the Company achieving predetermined benchmark levels of profitability.  In principal, as the net earnings of the Company increase, so does the bonus allocated to senior management.  The executive cash bonus for the year 2010 has not been set at this time.

Stock Bonus:

In addition to the cash bonus mentioned above, Officers shall receive 5-year WorldVest stock options (“Options”).  Options issued shall originate from the 2010 stock option bonus allowance, and shall be allocated for year-end bonuses at a predetermined strike price, which is the trading price on December 31, 2009.  Option holders may execute their Options anytime prior to their expiration date.  Additionally, any converted stock that is sold is subject to a “trickle out” provision in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  At this time no final Stock Option Bonuses have been determined

ITEM 14.   PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

(1) Audit Fees
     
Audit Related Fees

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and the period ended December 31, 2008, the Company was billed approximately $32,355 and $22,000 respectively for professional services rendered for the audit and review of our financial statements.

Tax Fees

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and for the period ended December 31, 2008, the Company did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our tax professional.
 
All Other Fees

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and for the period ended December 31, 2008, the Company did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our principal accountant.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

·  
approved by our audit committee; or

·  
entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular  service,  the  audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

We do not have an audit committee.  Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentage of the above fees were pre-approved.  However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
