NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2010
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Vendum Batteries Limited (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom on November 16, 2009. Vendum Batteries 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. The Company is in the development stage as defined under Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, “Development Stage Enterprises” (ASC 915-10).
As further described in Note 7, the Company closed a share exchange transaction effective May 3, 2010 with the shareholders of Vendum Batteries Limited (“Vendum”). 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.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
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 $130,175 as of June 30, 2010, 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.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order for the financial statements to be not misleading have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional currency is the Pound Sterling and its reporting currency is the United States dollar.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
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 June 30, 2010.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown.
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.
Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expense of $0 during the period ended June 30, 2010.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 718. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has not issued any stock-based payments to its employees.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) entitled “Subsequent Events”. Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of that date or for the quarter or year-to-date period then ended.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. (“SFAS 168” or ASC 105-10) SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by all nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending on or after September 15, 2009 nd interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 168 (ASC 105-10) on July 1, 2009 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized and present ed.
As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in this Report by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards.
With the exception of the pronouncements noted above, no other accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.
NOTE 4 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
On January 4, 2010 the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Cornerstone Holdings Ltd. The Company agreed to purchase all 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 is 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 16,637,309 shares of common stock of the Company.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY
On December 10, 2009, the Company issued a 12% convertible note payable of $50,000 to a related party. Interest will accrue beginning from the date of the loan however no interest is due until the loan comes due on December 10, 2010.
On March 3, 2010 another $25,000 was loaned to the company under the same terms as the original loan.
On May 3, 2010, the convertible loans of $ 75,000 were converted into 2,412,500 common shares.
On May 10, 2010, the Company issued a 12% convertible note payable of $ 25,000 to a related party due May 18, 2011.
Accrued interest payable related to the above loans totaled $2,063 and $345 at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
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.
NOTE 7 – COMMON STOCK
The authorized capital of the Company is 1 common share with a par value of $2 per share.
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 issue of 607,594 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2010
NOTE 7 – COMMON STOCK (CONTINUED)
Therefore, the transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of Wishart, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the reverse acquisition has been accounted for as a recapitalization.
For accounting purposes, Vendum is considered the acquirer in the reverse acquisition. The historical financial statements are those of Vendum consolidated with the parent, Wishart Enterprises, Inc. Earnings per share for periods prior to the merger are restated to reflect the number of equivalent shares received by the acquiring company.
NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $130,175 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2030. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
The provision for the Federal income tax consists of the following:
| June 30, 2010 | | December 31, 2009 |
Refundable Corporation income tax attributable to: | | | |
Current Operations | $ | 36,000 | | $ | 5,033 |
Less: valuation allowance | | (36,000) | | | (5,033) |
Net provision for Corporation income taxes | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 |
The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:
| June 30, 2010 | | December 31, 2009 |
Deferred tax asset attributable to: | | | |
Net operating loss carryover | $ | 41,033 | | $ | 5,033 |
Less: valuation allowance | | (41,033) | | | (5,033) |
Net deferred tax asset | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 |
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of $130,175 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

Overview
On May 3, 2010, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Share Exchange”) with Vendum Batteries Limited, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (“VBL”), whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of VBL. On May 17, 2010, we changed our name to Vendum Batteries Inc. and forward-split our common stock 2.797928067116027 to one.
In consequence of entering into the Share Exchange and the corporate actions described above, we have determined to pursue the business plan of VBL. We are now in the business of developing an innovative new cellulose-based power source.
Our Business
VBL was incorporated in the United Kingdom November 16, 2009, under the name Vendum Batteries Ltd. Vendum Batteries Limited is developing an innovative new cellulose-based power source that will revolutionize the automotive and aeronautical industries when it is brought to market.
This revolutionary battery is entirely biodegradable, as it is primarily composed of cellulose and uses none of the toxic elements used in traditional batteries, such as mercury, lead, chromium, or cadmium.
Using the cutting edge Carbon Nanotube Technology (CNT), we hope this non-toxic power source will, in the future, be capable of providing higher power output for much longer periods of time. The batteries have the potential to be small and light-weight, therefore it will be possible to revolutionize human implant technology for those found in pacemakers and cochlear implants.
Similarly, we are aiming in the future to power mobile phones, PDA’s, iPods, music players, games consoles, laptops and the like. Also home appliances such as power tools, all kinds of toys, watches, cameras, toothbrushes and electric razors can be powered by our batteries. Finally, these batteries could be used in power surveying instruments, flashlights, CCTV cameras, roadwork lighting and signs, gift cards, and even clothing and books. In the long term, however, we hope that we will help transform the automotive and aeronautical industry forever.
During the current reporting period, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with Thomas Swan, a leading nano-material company. It is our intention to enter into a long-term supply agreement whereby Thomas Swan will provide us with R&D and production quantities of carbon nanotubes at a preferential price in return for exclusivity of supply. As of the date of this report, a final agreement has not been reached.
Results of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the Period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2010
We generated no revenue for the period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) until June 30, 2010. 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 $61,141 for the three months ending June 30, 2010. Our primary operating expenses for the three months ending June 30, 2010 were consulting fees of $44,038, professional fees of $8,919 and general and administrative expenses of $8,184.
Our operating expenses were $106,210 for the six months ending June 30, 2010. Our primary operating expenses for the six months ending June 30, 2010 were consulting fees of $80,866, professional fees of $9,304 and general and administrative expenses of $16,040.
Our operating expenses were $130,175 for the period from November 16, 2009 (Inception) to June 30, 2010. Our operating expenses for the period from November 16, 2009 (Inception) to June 30, 2010 were primarily related to consulting fees of $101,023, professional fees of $12,804 and general and administrative expenses of $16,348.
We recorded a net loss of $61,141 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded a net loss of $106,210 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We recorded a net loss of $130,175 for the period from November 16, 2009 (Inception) to June 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2010, we had total current assets of $2,910, consisting entirely of cash, and total assets in the amount of $502,910. We had current liabilities in the amount of $70,339 as of June 30, 2010. Thus, we had a working capital deficit of $67,429 as of June 30, 2010.
Operating activities used $85,341 in cash for the period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) until June 30, 2010. Our net loss of $130,175 was the primary reason for our negative operating cash, offset primarily by an increase in accrued expenses of $44,834. Investing activities used $12,256 for the period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) until June 30, 2010. Financing activities during the period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) until June 30, 2010 generated $100,507 in cash during the period, primarily attributable to proceeds from convertible notes.
Recently, we were able to secure two loans to help finance our company. On May 18, 2010, we issued a convertible promissory note, in the principal amount of $25,000, to Murrayfield Limited. Murrayfield Limited is a shareholder of our company. On July 26, 2010, we issued a convertible promissory note, in the principal amount of $50,000, to Paramount Trading Company Inc.. The notes accrue interest at 12% per annum and are convertible into shares of our common stock.
Notwithstanding our recent acquisition of financing, however, as of June 30, 2010, 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 beyond the next 12 months is contingent upon us obtaining additional financing. We intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which August be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements. 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 such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
Going Concern
We have recurring losses and has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $130,175 as of June 30, 2010. Our financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have no current source of revenue. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern. Our management plans on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as needed basis and in the longer term, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of business activities.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2010, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of August 31, 2009. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, Fraser Cottington. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
