NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 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 $207,607 as of September 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 int ends 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.
Principles of Consolidation
All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional currency is the Pound Sterling and its reporting currency is the United States dollar.
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 September 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 September 30, 2010.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 718. As of September 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.

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.
On July 26, 2010, 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 July 27, 2011.
Accrued interest payable related to the above loans totaled $6,093 and $345 at September 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.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
NOTE 7 – COMMON STOCK (CONTINUED
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.
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 September 30, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $207,600 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:
| September 30, 2010 | | December 31, 2009 |
Corporation income tax benefit attributable to: | | | |
Current Operations | $ | 62,000 | | $ | 5,033 |
Less: valuation allowance | | (62,000) | | | (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:
| September 30, 2010 | | December 31, 2009 |
Deferred tax asset attributable to: | | | |
Net operating loss carryover | $ | 67,033 | | $ | 5,033 |
Less: valuation allowance | | (67,033) | | | (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 $207,600 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continu e,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions.

Overview
We operate through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Vendum Batteries Limited, a company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (“VBL”). VBL is currently carrying out R&D to consider a range of applications, but also to investigate and characterise the other properties that the cellulose and Carbon Nanotube Technology (“CNT”) composite material can be applied in.
Using the cutting edge CNT, we are investing in R&D and hope that our findings are that 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.
We carry out our R&D through a consultant. As of the date of this report, we have identified the following: potential competitors in our space; a technology report of related battery technologies; and potential facilities making prototypes of our products. Based on our research thus far, we believe that we are six months away from commencing pre production prototype batteries. We hope to rent a laboratory in Cambridge, UK by January 2011 to further our business plan. However, we are going to need additional funds to commence these activities.
If our findings are as expected, Vendum will be able to look at commercial applications for cellulose paper based Electro Active Paper and paper supercapacitor applications as well as developing an innovative new cellulose paper based power source that will have its part to play in the clean energy storage market, ideally aimed at revolutionizing the way we power the automotive and mobile industries.
Whether a battery, supercapacitor, sensor, or actuator, this revolutionary material 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.
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 previous reporting period, we entered into a memorandum of understanding with Thomas Swan, a leading nano-material company. While no formal long-term supply agreement has been agreed with Thomas Swan, we do expect to develop this and other CNT supplier relationships, both to provide us with R&D and production quantities of carbon Nanotubes, but hopefully to obtain exclusive supplier relationships for both sides of the Atlantic.
Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the Period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) to September 30, 2010
We do not have comparative financial data as we were only formed in November of 2009.
We generated no revenue for the period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) until September 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 $77,426 for the three months ending September 30, 2010. Our primary operating expenses for the three months ending September 30, 2010 were consulting fees of $54,289, the majority of which were paid to our CEO Fraser Cottington. A portion of those fees, roughly $12,550, were paid to Dr. Bojan Boskovic for his consulting efforts, which have been crucial in guiding us in what competition exists in our IP space and how best to direct our R&D investments, when we have sufficient funding to move forward. There are also general and administrative expenses of $10,587.
Our operating expenses were $183,636 for the nine months ending September 30, 2010. Our primary operating expenses for the nine months ending September 30, 2010 were consulting fees of $135,155, professional fees of $21,854 and general and administrative expenses of $26,627.
Our operating expenses were $207,601 for the period from November 16, 2009 (Inception) to September 30, 2010. Our operating expenses for the period from November 16, 2009 (Inception) to September 30, 2010 were primarily related to consulting fees of $155,312, professional fees of $25,354 and general and administrative expenses of $26,935.
We recorded a net loss of $77,426 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. We recorded a net loss of $183,636 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We recorded a net loss of $207,601 for the period from November 16, 2009 (Inception) to September 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2010, we had total current assets of $5,801, consisting entirely of cash, and total assets in the amount of $505,801. We had current liabilities in the amount of $150,534 as of September 30, 2010. Thus, we had a working capital deficit of $144,733 as of September 30, 2010.
Operating activities used $132,572 in cash for the period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) until September 30, 2010. Our net loss of $207,601 was the sole reason for our negative operating cash, offset by an increase in accrued expenses and interest of $75,029. Investing activities used $12,134 for the period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) until September 30, 2010 largely for the acquisition of intellectual property. Financing activities during the period from November 16, 2009 (Date of Inception) until September 30, 2010 generated $150,507 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 September 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 a working capital deficit, and have incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $207,601 as of September 30, 2010, and further losses are anticipated in the development of our business raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our 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.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 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 September 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 September 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.
