ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

Company Overview
 
We were incorporated under the name Wilshire Enterprises Limited in December 2006.  On May 3, 2010, we entered into a share exchange (the “Share Exchange”) with Vendum Batteries Limited (“VDL”) whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of VDL and it became our wholly owned subsidiary.  We changed our name to Vendum Batteries Inc. and our line of business from the health related business to the development of a new cellulose-based power source.  In connection with the Share Exchange we engaged in a 5 for 1 forward-split our common stock. VDL was incorporated in the United Kingdom in November 2009 and in January 2010 it acquired a patent for the development of a non-toxic paper battery technology that does not use any rare earth metals or toxic metals and instead uses carbon nanotube electrode technology.  We are currently developing new intellectual property that is based upon the patented technology and do not have any products as we have not yet completed development of the technology or a prototype.   We do not intend to produce the batteries ourselves, instead we intend to license the technology or ‘know how’ that we develop to third parties who will then develop and commercialize the batteries based upon our licensed technology.

Our Business

We are working on developing a non-toxic, CNT based light-weight, rechargeable battery that we intend to market to various industries. We are currently in the pre-production stage and do not have any products as we have not yet completed development of the technology or a prototype. However, with the assistance of outside advisors, which include individuals at Surrey & Oxford Universities (with whom we do not have any written agreements other than confidentiality agreements), we have written research and development project documentation for our technology development. This proprietary battery is being designed to be entirely biodegradable, since it will be primarily composed of cellulose and will not use any of the toxic elements used in traditional batteries, such as mercury, lead, chromium, or cadmium. We intend to seek global patent protection of our proprietary battery in Europe and North America and use the ‘Priority Date’ in any other country we wish to file. Upon the completion of the development of the prototype, which cannot be completed until we receive sufficient financing and then should be several months after financing is received, we intend to perfect prototypes and provide proof of concept that the technology can be cost effectively mass produced.  However, our development efforts are on hold pending the receipt of financing and there can be no assurance that any such financing will be obtained.  We do not intend to produce the batteries ourselves, instead we intend to license the technology or ‘know how’ that we develop to third parties who will then develop and commercialize the batteries based upon our licensed technology. We are seeking to offer our ‘know how’ as services to create collaborative partnerships with third parties, such as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to either further develop solutions, or create new materials and production processes.  Until such time as a prototype for our product is complete, we cannot ascertain the cost of our product.

Due to our own investigations of the patent landscape in late 2010, which includes the review by a paid advisor of the work at MIT, we believe our technology to be cutting edge and unduplicated. We hope to develop a non-toxic energy storage source that will be capable of providing higher power output for much longer periods of time than current batteries.  However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to develop a battery utilizing CNT and cellulose technology that will be capable of providing higher output for longer periods of time than current batteries. We believe that the batteries using our technology will have the potential to be small, flexible and light-weight, and eventually may also be utilized in human implant technology, such as in pacemakers and cochlear implants.   

Our primary focus today is seeking to develop batteries that can be used to power greeting cards, audio books, intelligent packaging and eventually mobile phones, PDA’s, iPods, music players, games consoles, laptops.  If perfected as a hybrid battery and supercapacitor our technology could be used in CCTV cameras, roadwork lighting and signs.  After we have established our primary focus, we intend to market our paper based lightweight batteries, supercapacitors and sensors to the automotive and aeronautical industries.

During 2012, we intend to engage in additional research and development to ascertain the thermal conductive and field emission display properties of CNT based composite materials that have been observed by other scientists and university studies in an effort to create materials for insulation, heat capture and even energy generation. Research into the thermal conductive properties of cellulose and CNT materials may offer exciting new ways of developing smart materials that capture body heat and release it when required.

We intend to grow our intellectual property (IP) portfolio as quickly as funding will allow, but also foresee opportunities to make share exchange acquisitions, by selling our ‘know how’ to co-develop new materials with  under performing companies within the CNT industry and assist them in creating new IP to attract new investment. We intend to fulfill our medium and longer term strategic goals by seeking to acquire percentages of under - performing companies and those needing ‘know how’ to attract investment to further develop their products within the CNT industry. In an effort to diversify ourselves and not be dependent upon one single technology, we will seek to acquire companies, providing different ways to produce and develop the technologies that deliver both a super capacitor and a battery using CNT technologies, as well as those companies and individuals that can provide technical expertise in further researching alternative nano wire types and the use of polymers. We will also look at printed battery technology, which is already produced by one of our competitors, as it looks as if it may become one of the simplest and cost effective CNT battery types to mass produce. Finally, we will attempt to locate a company that is both proficient at producing CNT’s and providing competitors with electronics quality CNT’s, so that we can minimize the need for raw CNT producers and associated costs to transport them to the battery production facility.

Properties
 
We do not own or lease any real property Our principal executive offices are located at 400 Thames Valley Park Drive, Reading, Berkshire, England, RG6 1PT.  Our Chief Executive Officer has provided us office space without charge.
 
Principal Products and Services

Our business model has been to develop intellectual property and sell licenses to use our “green” and “non-toxic” paper battery technology. We expect to outsource all manufacturing.    

Our paper battery is currently being designed to use a paper-thin sheet of cellulose infused with aligned CNT. The nanotubes act as electrodes, allowing the storage devices to conduct electricity. More than 90% of the battery is expected to be made of cellulose, the same compound that is derived from plant cells and is used in newsprint, loose leaf paper, lunch bags and most types of paper.  The battery is being developed to provide a low, steady power output, as well as a super capacitor’s quick burst of energy. While a conventional battery contains a number of separate components, we are aiming for the paper battery to be able to integrate all of the battery components in a single structure to try and make it more energy efficient and light-weight.

We believe that our batteries will be unique in the following ways:

1.  
Nanotechnology.  Our batteries are to be manufactured with nanotechnology on a paper-thin sheet of cellulose infused with aligned carbon nanotubes that act as electricity conducting electrodes.

2.  
Ecological  Our batteries will not contain any mercury, lead, chromium, cadmium or other heavy metals that are found in today’s batteries nor will any ozone-depleting solvents be used in production.   We are designing our batteries to be 90% composed of cellulose, which is the same plant cell used in paper products and therefore biodegradable.

3.  
Temperature resistant.   We believe the lack of water content in our batteries will allow them to function in extreme temperatures ranging from temperatures up to 300° F and down to 100° F below zero   and our batteries will eventually be capable of powering a small device such as a pacemaker or cochlear implant without introducing any harsh chemicals into the body.  

4.  
Flexible.   We believe the device will have the ability to be rolled, twisted, folded, or cut into any number of shapes with no loss of mechanical integrity or efficiency.  As development progresses, we expect that the paper batteries will be stackable to boost the total power output.   If power output is grown, the paper battery could be moldable into different shapes which we believe would enable important new engineering innovations.

5.  
Better alternative.  Our batteries are expected to provide a low, steady power output, as well as have a super-capacitor’s quick burst of energy.  In comparison, while a conventional battery contains a number of separate components, our batteries will integrate all of the battery components in a single structure making it more energy efficient and light-weight.

Background of the Invention

The basic components of a battery are the electrodes with terminals to connect to an external circuit, a separator to keep the electrodes apart and prevent them from shorting, the electrolyte which carries the charged ions resulting from the chemical reactions taking place at the electrodes and a cover to contain the active chemicals and hold the electrodes in place.

The chemical reactions made use of in batteries involve oxidation and reduction reactions (redox reactions). There are two broad classes of batteries:  (1) liquid state batteries ("wet" batteries), in which the electrolyte is liquid or wet; and (2) solid state batteries ("dry batteries"), in which the electrolyte is in a solid state. All current batteries utilize similar procedures to create electricity, which is the use of chemical reactions to trap ions that move from one electrode to another, however, variations in materials and construction have produced different types of batteries.

Batteries are often classified by the type of electrolyte used in their construction. There are three common classifications; acid, mildly acid, and alkaline. Different examples of electrolytes are acids, such as sulphuric acid, salts, such as ammonium chloride and zinc chloride, and alkalis, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The electrolyte solution can e.g. contain ZnCl2 as a main ingredient as well as additive(s) as other ingredient(s), such as for example binder(s) in the Zinc/manganese dioxide battery. The additive(s) in the electrolyte solution comprises binder(s) in order to bind the electrode material particles to the electrode paste.

In addition to acid, mildly acid, and alkaline electrolytes, the electrolyte might be an organic solution. For example batteries of Li-type are not suitably working in an acidic or alkaline environment. They are primarily working in solid or organic ionic liquid environments.

The anode material in a battery may be e.g. Cu, Pb, Ni, Fe, Cr, Zn, Al, Mg or Li, while the cathode may be e.g. of Ferrate, Iron oxide, Cuprous oxide, Cupric oxide, Cobaltic oxide, Manganese dioxide, Lead dioxide, Silver oxide, Nickel oxyhydroxide, Nickel dioxide, Silver peroxide, Permanganate, or Bromate. E.g. a carbon/zinc cell "dry" battery uses a zinc anode, a manganese dioxide cathode, and an electrolyte of ammonium chloride and/or zinc chloride dissolved in water.  These materials can be costly and difficult to obtain and therefore scientists have been attempting to develop an alternative, such as a battery based on CNTs.

However, batteries that use CNTs do not use the standard anode material and our battery will not contain water either.  Our battery will store energy in an electric field. Thin film batteries, which term in this text is to be understood as "layered-structured batteries" in any shape or size, and flexible batteries can be made by printing onto paper, plastics, or other kind of thin foil. Because of their relatively small thickness, the energy storage and current carrying capacity of thin film batteries has been low, these properties being, however, dependent on their area as well and can be made sufficient for desired applications. They have unique properties, which distinguish them from conventional batteries, and in fact the capacity is still enough for a lot of applications. We believe thin film batteries will have a wide range of uses as power sources for consumer products. Thin film batteries are flexible and therefore we believe will also be suitable for powering smart cards and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags.

Distribution Methods and Marketing

We intend to be  a licensing and project management company and therefore do not intend to acquire manufacturing facilities. All work on product development and manufacturing is expected to be outsourced.

We do not plan to manufacture the products, but rather intend to license the technology by developing working prototypes that provide ‘proof of concept’ in using CNT based solutions to provide improved performance, weight, or flexibility. We are currently developing designs and project planning documentation for prototypes and our next step is to prove scalable mass production capability, which would open up opportunities to license the technology to manufacturers and developers to bring a commercially viable nontoxic product to the global market. It is possible our batteries may be more costly than the typical battery due to the high cost of CNTs, or market forces, but we believe that governments and consumers will still be interested in a non toxic battery.

We believe that manufacturers of all types of commercial products - from microchips to cell phones, lawnmowers to automobiles, medical implants to cordless power tools - would benefit from battery technology with better performance that is lighter, smaller, safer and greener, and we intend to deliver that technology.

The Industry

According to a report published by the Global Industry Analysts, Inc. in January 2011, the global market for rechargeable batteries is forecast to reach $16.4 billion by the year 2015.  The factors that the report attributes to driving market growth include growing consumer acceptance of rechargeable battery technologies in various parts of the world, rapid growth in the electronics market and the increasing role of rechargeable batteries in the automotive sector. In addition, innovative product launches and rising demand from Asia-Pacific including China are also cited as aiding the growth in the market. While the United States is in the midst of an economic slowdown and many parts of the world were affected by the global financial crisis during 2008 and 2009 that led to a decline in the global battery market, it is reported in the Global Industry Analysts, Inc. January 2011 publication that the industry is expected to increase due to growth in the electronics market, innovative product launches and the increased role of rechargeable batteries in the automotive sector. Asia- Pacific represents the largest and fastest growing regional market for rechargeable batteries worldwide and Europe represents another major market for rechargeable batteries.

Innovative Research and Products Inc reports in its November 2010 publication that the global market for thin-film batteries is expected to increase to $600 million by 2015 with a rapid growth rate of 46.1% annually over the next five years. The range for the average annual growth is expected to be 37.9% to 676.8% for the six major regions (North America, Europe, Japan, China, India and Korea) for the period 2010 to 2015. The report states that the feature of thin-film batteries, which is their ability to provide the required power while occupying little space and adding negligible mass, accounts for the growth of their market.  In addition, the report indicated that the fact that they can be suited for a variety of applications requiring low-voltage power where traditional batteries are problematic is also mentioned as a factor aiding this growth.

Research and Development

During the last two years we spent approximately $50,000 on our research and development activities, which primarily included payments made to a technical advisor to analyze the initial intellectual property that VDL acquired, which consisted of a patent application for nine patent claims for a Carbon Nanotube and cellulose paper battery.  Once it was determined that the existing patented technology that was acquired by VDL had some limited potential, it was decided to let that application lapse and instead develop enhanced technology based in part on the initial technology. We have now completed writing a ‘know how’ project document to develop a CNT and cellulose paper battery.
  
We have studied the CNT production market and patent landscape, which has included having engaged Dr. Bojan Boskovic to prepare three research reports, including a complete review of current patents in the CNT and cellulose battery market and supercapacitors.
 
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers

CNTs are very small; the diameter of a nanotube is on the order of one nano-meter, many times smaller than the width of a human hair, but up to several microns long. CNTs come in two principal forms, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and multi-walled (MWCNT). SWCNT are a one-atom-thick layer of graphite, called graphene, wrapped into a seamless cylinder with either open or closed ends and CNTs can be conducting or semi-conducting.

We will most likely use SWCNTs, which are available from established chemical companies around the world. The chemical companies we will source from will be experienced in producing consistent quality nanotubes intended for the electronics market, and so far we have identified the following potential suppliers: Nano-C in the U.S., Thomas Swan in the U.K., and Nanocyl in Belgium. All companies have demonstrated specialist capability in producing SWCNT for our purposes and offer expertise in use of CNT’s in other applications such as memory, clear conducting polymers for flat panel displays, should we to diversify.

With R&D not yet completed pending funding, we are not committed to any one supplier of CNTs. We are considering ways that we can create patents for the actual processes required to optimize the CNT and cellulose material as well as end products, if perfected potentially opening up earlier revenue streams. We have had discussions with the University of Surrey and Oxford regarding conducting research in partnership with each of them but have not entered into any written agreement with either of them other than a non disclosure agreement due to our lack of funding. No assurance can be given that in the interim, pending funding, that the universities we have selected to partner with will partner with other companies.

Customers

Our strategy is to diversify our customer base and avoid having any one customer providing more that 20% of our total net income.  We will attempt to minimize risk by spreading the work across multi regions, such as Europe, US and Canada.  Currently, all of our development work has been conducted in the United Kingdom. The aim is to create collaborative partnerships so we can spread the financial risk of developing finished products and processes. By patenting both the product and process, we expect to open up multiple license opportunities, in multiple markets.

Competition and Market Overview

Our market is dominated by a few major companies, many of whom develop their own technology and manufacture products that incorporate the technology.  These competitors have greater financial resources than us and greater ability to reach the end customers, therefore making it potentially more difficult for our potential licensees to compete in the market and to attract licensees to license our technology   This is mainly driven by the fact that CNTs are both expensive at this time and that there are also few companies who can manufacture the volumes required for mass market products thereby making it more difficult for our potential licensees to produce products that incorporate our technology at prices competitive with those of the larger companies that manufacture batteries.

The industry consists of major companies, most of which have existing relationships in the markets into which our licensees will sell as well as financial, technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing, scaling capacity, distribution and other resources and name recognition substantially greater than ours. Included among our competitors are various universities such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University, each of which is conducting extensive research into the development of batteries using carbon nanotubes. These companies or universities may develop batteries or other technologies that perform as well as or better than our batteries. We believe that our primary competitors are existing suppliers of cylindrical lithium-ion, nickel cadmium, nickel metal-hydride and in some cases, non-starting/lighting/ignition lead-acid batteries as well as those developing carbon nanotubes batteries. A number of our competitors have existing and evolving relationships with our target customers. These competitors may be able to offer lower prices for their batteries than we can offer, in order to compete with us, particularly in the transportation market. In addition, we expect new competitors will enter the markets for our products in the future. Potential customers may choose to do business with our more established competitors, because of their perception that our competitors are more stable, are more likely to complete various projects, can scale operations more quickly, have greater manufacturing capacity, and are more likely to continue as a going concern and lend greater credibility to any joint venture. If we are unable to compete successfully against manufacturers of other batteries or technologies in any of our targeted applications, our business could suffer, and we could lose or be unable to gain market share.

Government Regulation

We are not currently directly affected by any governmental regulations in that the regulations apply to manufacturers of batteries and we are not expecting to mass produce any end products, but to sell licenses to other partners who are already established businesses in their own countries. However, we will indirectly be impacted by such regulations in that our licensees will be required to comply with certain regulations and therefore our technology for the production of batteries will be required to enable the batteries to be manufactured in compliance with such regulations, which may result in a price increase of our products.  Localized laws on the use of CNTs in products may be a consideration that we expect to have been addressed at the design stage.
 
Environmental Regulation and Compliance

We do not anticipate any costs or effects from environmental compliance. Although there are certain health and safety issues with CNT s that need to be addressed,  we intend that any agreement that we enter into with potential partners such as Thomas Swann & Co. Ltd., a manufacturer of performance and specialty chemicals located in the United Kingdom, will provide that such partner is required to ensure that any CNT products which get past the development stage and into the production stage will have already met all International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, an international non-governmental body that promotes global standards for business, government and society, and/or their foreign counterparts.

Employees

We currently have no full time employees, but several consultants and technical advisors.  We do not have written agreements with any of our consultants or advisors other than non-disclosure agreements, however, we have retained our sole director and sole officer, Fraser Cottington, who performs his duties for the company on a consultancy basis. Members of our former advisory board and Dr. Boskovic were also retained to help us in the development stage and we expect will continue to support us through to commercialization of our products and services.   Subject to funding we are in discussion with all members of the technical advisory team to renegotiate agreement terms.
 
Dr. Bojan Boskovic is an independent advisor to the board and has played a vital part in helping us research and identify the CNT and battery patent landscape, key competitors and market opportunity to create new intellectual property in both the battery and supercapacitor markets. For his services, Dr. Boskovic is paid an hourly rate and has received an aggregate of $21,253 for his services during 2010 and through December31, 2011. It is anticipated that upon our receipt of funding Dr. Boskovic will be signing a formal consultancy agreement to become Chief Operations Officer, upon which he will oversee all aspects of R&D management, both in the UK and the US in tandem upon commencement of activities there. Currently our only research and development activities are in the UK where he has already overseen the R&D plans with Surrey University and helped create project planning documentation with Prabhakar Bandaru at UCSD and Peter Skabara at University of Strathclyde (both former members of our advisory board).  We do not yet have any written advisory agreement with Dr. Boskovic which commits him to oversee such activities and there can be no assurance that Dr. Boskovic will oversee the activities that we expect he will oversee.   

Dr. Boskovic is a founder and CEO of the Cambridge Nanomaterials Technology Ltd (www.CNT-Ltd.co.uk ), a consultancy company specialized in carbon nanomaterials. He has more than ten years of hands-on expertise in carbon nanomaterials and composites from industry and academia in the UK and Europe and extensive network of contacts in the field. Previously, he worked as a CNT R&D Manager at Nanocyl, a carbon nanotube manufacturing company in Europe. At Nanocyl he was leading a team of researchers and scientists in carbon nanomaterials applications ranging from polymer composites to electronic and bio-medical applications. He was also a Principal Engineer-Carbon Scientist at Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems, where he was leading an R&D project to develop new aircraft brakes based on carbon nano-materials. He worked as a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge on carbon nanotube synthesis and on carbon nanotube – carbon fibre epoxy composites for aerospace applications.   Before coming to Cambridge he was a Senior Specialist at The Morgan Crucible PLC where he invented method for in situ growth of carbon nanotubes within carbon fiber cloth that he later utilized at Meggitt for aircraft brake discs carbon-carbon composite materials.  During his PhD at the University of Surrey he invented a low temperature carbon nanofibre synthesis method using PECVD. This research was granted a patent, published in Nature Materials and utilized by CNT synthesis equipment manufacturer Surrey Nano Systems. He is a board member of the British Composites Society and a member of the Steering and Review Group for the Mini-IGT in Nanotechnology that advices UK Government on nanotechnology strategy.

MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY CONTROL
 
We do not intend to manufacture any products but instead plan to outsource the manufacture of our products.  Our products will be manufactured by third parties and we will be reliant upon these third parties to maintain proper quality control.  Our manufacturer will be required to maintain good manufacturing compliance.  We also intend to do our own random testing of our products to ensure that they meet our specific quality standards.  Inasmuch as we will not manufacture the products and we will not be subject to good manufacturing regulations, we may be subject to inspection of our corporate headquarters where a small amount of samples of raw materials of our products are kept in inventory.

TRADEMARKS AND PATENTS
 
We currently do not have any patents or pending patent applications.  We intend to apply for patent protection of our technology upon completion of the successful prototype. We regard our patent, trademarks, copyrights, domain names, trade dress, trade secrets, proprietary technologies, and similar intellectual property as important to our success, and we rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, trade-secret protection, and confidentiality and/or license agreements with our customers, partners, suppliers and others to protect our proprietary rights.
 
The steps we take to protect our proprietary rights in our intellectual property and brand name may not be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of our intellectual property and brand name in the United States or abroad.  Existing patent and trademark laws afford only limited practical protection for our intellectual property and product lines.    However, because of the rapid pace of the natural product industry's development, we believe that the legal protection for our product is less significant to our success than the knowledge, technical expertise and marketing skills of our personnel, the frequency of product expansion and pace of market penetration.

Penny Stock

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
 
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Holders of Our Common Stock

We have 750,000,000 authorized shares of common stock. As of April 10_, 2012, we had 523,934,496 shares our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 15 shareholders of record, not including those held in street name.

Dividends

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends.  The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

1.  
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
2.  
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Certain statements contained herein, including statements regarding the anticipated development and expansion of our business, our intent, belief or current expectations, primarily with respect to our future operating performance and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are “forward-looking” statements. Future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, future press releases and future oral or written statements made by us or with our approval, which are not statements of historical fact, may contain forward-looking statements, because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) section discusses our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, and certain factors that may affect our future results. You should read this MD&A in conjunction with our audited financial statements and accompanying notes included herein. This plan of operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those presented under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this prospectus.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
 
We generated no revenue for the period from November 16, 2009 (date of inception) until December 31, 2011. Without revenues, we are forced to rely on fundraising activities in order to continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to generate revenues or raise funds in the near future, we will be forced to consider other business opportunities or cease operations.

Our operating expenses were $523,711 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Our primary operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were consulting fees of $433,377 There are also general and administrative expenses of $18,035 and professional fees of $72,029.
 
Our operating expenses were $328,533 for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Our primary operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were consulting fees of $258,313. There are also general and administrative expenses of $27,873 and professional fees of $42,347.

We recorded a net loss of ($779,521) and ($635,376) for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  We recorded a net loss of ($875,865) for the period from November 16, 2009 (date of inception) to December 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.  The Company has a working capital deficit, and has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of ($1,438,862) as of December 31, 2011, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and or private placement of common stock and debt.  During the past year, we financed our operations primarily through the issuance of convertible notes.

On March 23, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor for the sale of a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $65,000 (the “March Note”). Additionally, on May 3, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor for the sale of a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $32,500 (the “May Note”). On September 21, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor for the sale of a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $37,500 (the “September Note,” and together with the March Note and the May Note, the “Notes”). The net proceeds of these financings, after deducting placement agent fees, are to be used for general working capital purposes.  The March Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matures on December 28, 2011. The May Note bears interest at a rate of 8% and matures on February 2, 2012. The September Note bears interest at a rate of 8% and matures on June 9, 2012.  The March Note is convertible into shares of our common stock beginning 180 days from the date of the March Note at a conversion price of 60% of the average of the lowest three trading prices of our common stock during the ten trading days on the OTCBB proceeding the conversion date. The May Note is convertible into shares of our common stock beginning 180 days from the date of the May Note at a conversion price of 58% of the average of the lowest three trading prices of our common stock during the ten trading days on the OTCBB proceeding the conversion date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, split or similar event. The September Note is convertible into shares of our common stock beginning 180 days from the date of the September Note at a conversion price of 55% of the average of the lowest three trading prices of our common stock during the ten trading days on the OTCBB proceeding the conversion date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, split or similar event. We are only entitled to prepay the Notes from the date of the Notes until 90 days thereafter at 150% of the outstanding principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest, default interest, and other amounts required under the Notes, so long as the holders of the Notes have not elected to convert the Notes into our common stock.  We are only entitled to prepay the Notes 91 days from the date of the Notes up to 180 days from the date of the Notes at 175% of the outstanding principal balance, accrued and unpaid interest, default interest, and other amounts required under the Notes. We have no right to prepay the Notes after 180 days from the date of the Notes. Unless waived in writing by the holders of the Notes, we are prohibited from effecting the conversion of the Notes to the extent that as a result of such conversion the holders thereof would beneficially own more than 4.99% in the aggregate of our issued and outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to the issuance of common stock upon conversion. While the Notes are outstanding, the holder is entitled to a reduction in the conversion price if we issue any securities for a per share price less than the conversion price in effect available to the holder. Under each Securities Purchase Agreement, the holder is entitled to a right of first refusal on any subsequent equity offerings (or debt offerings with an equity component) that we may engage in for a period of one year.

For so long as we have any obligation under the Notes, we agreed to certain restrictions on our ability to declare dividends, repurchase our capital stock, borrow money, sell our assets, or advance loans to others.  The Notes contain events of default which, if triggered, will result in the requirement to pay a default amount as specified in the Notes.  The default amount depends on the particular event of default.  In some cases, the amount we would owe the holder could be two times the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes, accrued and unpaid interest, default interest (at 22% per annum), and other amounts required under the Notes.  In other cases, the amount we would owe the holder would be 150% of the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes, accrued and unpaid interest, default interest, and other amounts required under the Notes.  Other cases elicit other default amounts as provided under the Notes.  The Notes also provide for an option for the holder to take the default amount in shares of our common stock under a formula provided in the Notes in lieu of a cash payout.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, $28,000 of the principal amount of the note issued on March 23, 2011 was converted into 17,214,375 shares of our common stock.

In June 2011, we entered into the Investment Agreement with Centurion for the provision of the Equity Line of up to $5,000,000. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement, we may sell newly issued shares of our common stock to Centurion (each such sale, a “put”) from time to time at a price equal to the lesser of : (i) 96% of the Market Price (as defined below) of our common stock ; or (ii) the Market Price of our common stock minus $0.01, subject to certain dollar and share volume limitations for each put, until the earlier of : (a) 36  months from the date of the Investment Agreement ; or (b) until all puts under the Investment Agreement have reached an aggregate gross sales price equal to $5,000,000. Each put amount is limited to $250,000 provided further that the number of shares sold in each put shall not exceed a share volume limitation equal to the lesser of: (i)   1.5 million shares; (ii) 17.5% of the aggregate trading volume, excluding any block trades that exceed 50,000 shares of common stock, of the common stock traded on our primary exchange during any pricing period for such put excluding any days where the lowest intra-day trade price is less than the trigger price (which is the greater of : (a ) the floor price plus a fixed discount of the lesser of $.01 ; (b ) the floor price if any set by us divided by 0.96 ; or ( c ) $.01, the greater of all three clauses being referred to as the “Trigger Price”); (iii) an aggregate of $5,000,000 worth of common stock when combined with the put shares sold in all prior puts; or (iv) such number of put shares that when added to the number of shares of our common stock then beneficially owned by Centurion would exceed 9.9% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding. The Investment Agreement provides that prior to exercising any put we must have a registration statement declared effective with respect to the shares to be sold under the Equity Line. “Market Price” means the average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average prices published daily by Bloomberg LP for our common stock during the fifteen consecutive trading day period immediately following the date specified by us on which we intend to exercise the applicable put. In connection with the preparation of the Investment Agreement and the registration rights agreement, we issued Centurion 128,453 shares of common stock as a document preparation fee having a value of $20,000 and 1,091,703 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee having a value of $150,000.
 
Despite our recent financings, we have insufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months and insufficient cash to achieve our business goals. The success of our business plan is contingent upon us obtaining additional financing. We intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements such as the Equity Line; however there can be no assurance that we will meet the conditions necessary to be able to use the Equity Line. Other than the Equity Line, we do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
 
We have notes payable issued to various lenders.  A summary of the outstanding notes are as follows: (i) on July 26, 2010, we issued a convertible promissory note, in the principal amount of $50,000, to Paramount Trading Company Inc. The note accrues interest at 12% per annum. The note, together with all accrued interest, was due and payable by July 27, 2011 and to date no payment has been made under the note and we are in default under the note. The note is convertible into shares of our common stock at fair market value, determined by the lesser of our share price of our last private offering or the 30 day average of our trading stock; (ii) on March 23, 2011, we issued a note in the aggregate principal amount of $65,000 (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matures on December 28, 2011. The Note is convertible into shares of our common stock beginning 180 days from the date of the Note at a conversion price of 60% of the average of the lowest three trading prices of our common stock during the ten trading days on the OTCBB proceeding the conversion date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, split or similar event; (iii) on May 3, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor for the sale of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $32,500. The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matures on February 2, 2012. The note is convertible into shares of our common stock beginning 180 days from the date of the note at a conversion price of 58% of the average of the lowest three trading prices of our common stock during the ten trading days on the OTCBB proceeding the conversion date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, split or similar event; (iv) on May 18, 2010, we issued a convertible promissory note, in the principal amount of $25,000. The note accrues interest at 12% per annum. The note, together with all accrued interest, was due and payable by September 3, 2011; and (v) on March 31, 2011 we entered issued a note in the principal amount of $7,000 that was due and payable by April 30, 2011.  To date this loan has not been repaid; and (vi) on September 21, 2011 we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor for the sale of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $37,500. The note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matures on June 9, 2012. The note is convertible into shares of our common stock beginning 180 days from the date of the note at a conversion price of 55% of the average of the lowest three trading prices of our common stock during the ten trading days on the OTCBB proceeding the conversion date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, split or similar event.

Critical Accounting Policies

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our critical accounting policies are set forth in Note 3 of the financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2011, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Fraser Cottington

President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director

Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our sole executive officer and director .
 
Fraser Cottington

Since May 2010, Mr. Cottington has served as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and a director.   From November 2009 through May 2010, Mr. Cottington served as the sole officer of VDL.   From July 2008 to November 2009, Mr. Cottington was involved in directing the business development of Hytec Information Systems, a start up information management solution, and assisting NHS bodies across the United Kingdom, such as Primary Healthcare Trusts (PCT’s) and General Practice consortia, in order to align a new information infrastructure in meeting compliance criteria across complex information management policies.  From 2005 to 2008 Mr. Cottington managed sales, marketing and product development for a Siemens company specializing in information risk management and business continuity, where he developed business with central government departments, NATO, MOD, healthcare and corporate clients in the banking and oil & gas sectors.
 
Mr. Cottington’s experience with developmental companies makes him an invaluable director.  In addition, his product development skills also make him well suited to be our director.

Term of Office
 
Our directors 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.
 
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) 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; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being 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 or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Advisory Board

We no longer have an advisory board as our agreements with our two former advisors have expired and we have no guarantee that the prior advisors will be willing to serve on our advisory board if it were reconstituted or that we will have an advisory board in the future.  We are currently renegotiating with our former advisors to continue their service on our advisory board.
 
On June 25, 2010, we entered into an Advisory Board Member Agreement (the “Bandaru Agreement”) with Professor Prabhakar Bandaru who is a US citizen. Per the terms of the Bandaru Agreement, Professor Bandaru was to serve for a period of 12 months as an advisor to our company for technical issues with our battery products, and other advisory services as determined from time to time by the board of directors.  As consideration for the Bandaru Agreement, Professor Bandaru received a one-time payment of 0.5% shares of our common stock (2,500,000 shares of our common stock).  We are currently negotiating the terms of an extended agreement with Professor Bandaru.

Mr. Bandaru is currently an Associate Professor of Materials Science in the Mechanical Engineering Department at U.C. San Diego.  He is also affiliated with the Electrical Engineering and Nanoengineering departments. His research group is interested in materials physics and chemistry, broadly looking at the electrical, electrochemical, optical, and thermal properties of materials at the mesoscopic and microscopic levels. Professor Bandaru was named to the Scientific American 50 and also received a young investigator award from the National Science Foundation. In addition he has received the NSF Career Award from the National Science Foundation.
 
On June 7, 2010 we entered into an Advisory Board Member Agreement (the “Skabara Agreement”) with Professor Peter Skabara to serve as a non-executive member of our advisory board for a term of 12 months.  As compensation for his services Mr. Skabara was issued shares of commons stock equal to .5% of our outstanding shares at the time of the agreement (2,500,000 shares of our common stock).   Professor Skabara was to provide services of ten hours per month advising the board on technical viability and capabilities of a proposed battery design, managing the specifications and production of prototypes and providing technical assistance in answering investor questions. We are currently negotiating the terms of an extended agreement with Professor Skabara .
 
Since 2005, Mr. Skabara has been a Professor of Materials Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde. Prior to 2005, he lectured at various universities, including serving  as a senior lecturer in Inorganic Materials Chemistry at the University of Manchester from 2004-2005, serving as a lecturer in Inorganic Materials Chemistry at the University of Manchester from 2000-2004 and serving as a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University from 1995-2000.
 
Committees of the Board

Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions, nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.

Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our CEO and director, Fraser Cottington, at the address appearing on the first page of this prospectus.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a Code of Ethics that applies our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
 
ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Consulting Agreement

On November 5, 2009, a company owned by Fraser Cottington, FE Business Consultants Ltd., entered into a consultancy agreement with our subsidiary, VDL, which at the time was solely owned by Fraser Cottington, our sole director and officer.   The term of the agreement is for two years.  In consideration for IT, communications, information security, data protection compliance and information risk management services, VDL agreed to compensate FE Business Consultants Ltd. as follows:

§
VDL agreed to pay fees to the consultant at an hourly rate agreed to by and between the parties and based on a periodic budget that will be established by VDL from time-to-time, payable no later than 7 days after the date of invoice received from the consultant.

§
VDL agreed to grant stock options equivalent to 1.5% of the issued and outstanding shares 30 days after the company has successfully completed its listing and commenced trading of its shares of common stock with a designated trading symbol.  However, the right to receive the shares underlying the stock options was subsequently waived and no underlying shares of stock were issued.

ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth, as of April 1, 2012, certain information as to shares of our common stock owned by: (i) each person known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, (ii) each of our directors, and (iii) all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of common stock, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law.  Unless otherwise indicated below, each entity or person listed below maintains an address of 400 Thames Valley Park Drive, Reading, Berkshire, England RG6 1PT.
 
 
18

 
 
The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined under rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.  Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting or investment power and any shares as to which the individual or entity has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days after April 1, 2012 through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right.  The inclusion in the following table of those shares, however, does not constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible securities currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days are deemed outstanding, including for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such option, warrant or convertible security, but not for purposes of computing the percentage of any other holder.
 
(2)  
A total of 523,934,496 shares of our common stock are considered to be outstanding pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Exchange Act .
 
ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Other than the transactions described below and under the heading “Executive Compensation” (or with respect to which such information is omitted in accordance with SEC regulations), since January 1, 2011 there have not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of any class of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

On May 3, 2010, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) with Vendum Batteries Limited, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (“VDL”). In connection with the closing of this transaction, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of VDL, which resulted in a parent-subsidiary relationship (the “Acquisition”).

In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange:

§  
The sole shareholder of all of the capital stock of VDL issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition exchanged his shares into 8,500,020 shares of our common stock. As a result, the sole shareholder of VDL received 8,500,020 newly issued shares of our common stock.

§  
The debt holders of VDL converted all of their debt in VDL into shares of our common stock.  As a result, Cornerstone Holdings, Inc., received 232,749,970 shares of common stock.

§  
Our board of directors was reconstituted to consist of Fraser Cottington who, prior to the Acquisition, was the sole director of VDL.
 
§  
VDL provided customary representations and warranties and closing conditions, including approval of the Acquisition by its sole shareholder.

As of the date of the Share Exchange and currently, there are no material relationships between us or any of our affiliates and VDL, other than in respect of the Share Exchange.

 
19

 
 
Immediately following the closing of the Acquisition, in a separate transaction, our former Chief Executive Officer and sole director, Ms. Barbara Lamb, agreed to purchase our former health business in exchange for the cancellation and return all of her common stock into treasury. Specifically, in the Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations, Ms. Lamb retired 62,459,540 shares of our common stock in exchange for our prior business of health-related websites that advocates a blend of western medicine with alternative health practices.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of
Vendum Batteries Inc.
Woodley, Reading, United Kingdom

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vendum Batteries Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vendum Batteries Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit, has received no revenue from sales of products or services, and has incurred losses from operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Vendum Batteries Inc.  (the "Company" or “Vendum”) was incorporated in Nevada on December 13, 2006.  Vendum is an environmentally friendly mobile battery company with the sole focus on identifying, evaluating, acquiring, developing and partnering for the commercialization of proprietary eco-friendly power sources.

As further described in Note 9, the Company closed a share exchange transaction effective May 3, 2010 with the shareholders of Vendum Batteries Limited, which was incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom on November 16, 2009 (“Vendum UK”). This share exchange transaction constituted a reverse merger and a recapitalization of Vendum.  In conjunction with this reverse merger, the historical accounts of Vendum become the historical accounts of Wishart for accounting purposes and, in conjunction therewith, Wishart changed its fiscal year-end to December 31 to coincide with the historical year-end of Vendum.  Vendum Batteries Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vendum Batteries Inc.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and or private placement of common stock.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had $1,843 and $21,766 of cash as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws.  A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

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

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional currency is the Pound Sterling and its reporting currency is the United States dollar.

Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $0 and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2011.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Comprehensive Income
The Company has which established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.  When applicable, the Company would disclose this information on its Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.  Comprehensive income comprises equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company has not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Vendum does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE 4 – OFFERING COSTS

In accordance with ASC 505-10, “Costs of an Equity Transaction”, costs incurred to issue shares classified as equity, such as underwriting, accounting and legal fees, printing costs, and taxes, should be treated as a reduction of the proceeds. Direct costs incurred before shares classified as equity are issued may be classified as a reduction of equity or as an asset until the stock is issued. The Company entered into a contract on May 26, 2011 and issued 1,220,156 shares valued at $170,000 that have been classified as deferred offering costs as of December 31, 2011. The costs will be reclassified to equity issuance costs upon successful completion of the sale of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 5 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

On January 4, 2010 the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Cornerstone Holdings Ltd. The Company agreed to purchase intellectual property from the seller for total proceeds of $500,000.  The Company paid a $10,000 deposit on January 6, 2010.  The remaining $490,000 was to be paid in varying installments over the next 21 months.  The rights, title and interest of the intellectual property was transferred to the Company on the date of the first $10,000 payment. On May 3, 2010, the remaining $490,000 outstanding was converted into 232,749,907 shares of common stock of the Company.

The Company analyzed the intellectual property for impairment at December 31, 2010 and determined that the fair market value was $200,000.  As such, an impairment charge of $300,000 was recorded. The remaining balance of the intellectual property was deemed to be impaired as of December 31, 2011 and, accordingly, an impairment charge of $200,000 was recorded.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)

While the Note is outstanding, the Holder is entitled to a reduction in the conversion price if we issue any securities for a per share price less than the conversion price in effect available to the Holder.

The loans may be converted into the Company’s common stock at any point during the term of the loan by the note holder. The number of shares to be issued will be determined by the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the conversion. If fair market value is not determinable at the conversion date the stock will be converted based on the lesser of either the share price of the
last private offering or the thirty day average of the Company’s stock in the event a public listing has taken place.

On May 3, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Holder”) for the sale of a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $32,500. The net proceeds of the financing, after deducting placement agent fees, are to be used for our general working capital purposes. The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matures on February 2, 2012. The Note is convertible into shares of our common stock beginning 180 days from the date of the Note at a conversion price of 58% of the average of the lowest three trading prices of our common stock during the ten trading days on the OTCBB proceeding the conversion date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, split or similar event.
 
On September 21, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Holder”) for the sale of a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $37,500. The net proceeds of the financing, after deducting placement agent fees, are to be used for our general working capital purposes. The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and matures on June 9, 2012. The Note is convertible into shares of our common stock beginning 180 days from the date of the Note at a conversion price of 58% of the average of the lowest three trading prices of our common stock during the ten trading days on the OTCBB proceeding the conversion date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect any stock dividend, split or similar event.

The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion features in accordance with ASC 815-15, “Derivatives and Hedging; Embedded Derivatives. ASC 815-15 requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion features as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible debt. The Company is required to carry the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value and account for any unrealized change in fair value as a component of results of operations. The Company valued the embedded derivative using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Company valued the embedded derivative 180 days after the issuance of the notes per the terms of the convertible notes payable. The embedded derivative related to the note issued on March 23, 2011 was valued at $64,196. The embedded derivative related to the note issued on May 3, 2011 was valued at $32,500. The debt discounts are amortized over the remaining term of the loans, in these cases, three month. The balance of the debt discount was $10,833 as of December 31, 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company converted $28,000 of the March 23, 2011 note into 17,214,375 shares of common stock.

NOTE 10 – NOTE PAYABLE

On March 31, 2011, the Company issued a note payable for proceeds of $7,000 to help fund operations. The note was due on April 30, 2011, bears 5% interest and is unsecured. The note is in default as of December 31, 2011. Accrued interest related to this note was $265 as of December 31, 2011.

NOTE 11 – DUE TO DIRECTOR

A director and shareholder of the Company advanced $505 to Vendum during the period ended December 31, 2010. The amount was unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. The loan was repaid during the year ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE 12 – CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has 750,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized.

On November 17, 2009, the Company issued 1 share of common stock for total proceeds of $2.  As of December 31, 2009 the proceeds had not been collected. The funds for the stock were deposited into the company bank account on March 4, 2010.

In a share exchange transaction that closed on May 3, 2010, Wishart acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Vendum Batteries Limited through the issuance of 8,500,023 shares of Wishart. The Company treated the purchase of Vendum Batteries Limited as a reverse acquisition pursuant to the guidance in Appendix B of SEC Accounting Disclosure Rules and Practices Official Text. Accordingly, these transactions are recorded as capital transactions in substance rather than business combinations.
