Business Development  We were formed as a Nevada corporation on October 6, 1997 originally under the name Zurich U.S.A., Inc.  On July 10, 2006, we changed our name to Cactus Ventures, Inc. and began pursuing our business of marketing sunglasses.  The Company encountered numerous problems various vendors and ceased its operations   The Company has now focused its efforts on seeking a business opportunity.  The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the merger of that target company into the Company. In certain instances, a target company may wish to become a subsidiary of the Company or may wish to contribute assets to the Company rather than merge. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company. The Company will provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting (public) company whose securities are qualified for trading in the United States secondary market.  We are now considered a blank check company.  The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the merger of that target company into the Company. In certain instances, a target company may wish to become a subsidiary of the Company or may wish to contribute assets to the Company rather than merge. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company. The Company will provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting (public) company whose securities are qualified for trading in the United States secondary market.  The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and extremely risky and will be made by management in the exercise of its business judgment.  There is no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to our company and shareholders.  Because we have no specific business plan or expertise, our activities are subject to several significant risks.  In particular, any business acquisition or participation we pursue will likely be based on the decision of management without the consent, vote, or approval of our shareholders.  Sources of Opportunities  We anticipate that business opportunities may arise from various sources, including officers and directors, professional advisers, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals.  We will seek potential business opportunities from all known sources, but will rely principally on the personal contacts of our officers and directors as well as indirect associations between them and other business and professional people.  Although we do not anticipate engaging professional firms specializing in business acquisitions or reorganizations, we may retain such firms if management deems it in our best interests.  In some instances, we may publish notices or advertisements seeking a potential business opportunity in financial or trade publications.  Criteria  We will not restrict our search to any particular business, industry or geographical location.  We may acquire a business opportunity in any stage of development.  This includes opportunities involving start up or new companies.  In seeking a business venture, management will base their decisions on the business objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation in the real value of our company.  We will not be controlled by an attempt to take advantage of an anticipated or perceived appeal of a specific industry, management group, or product.  In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider the following factors:  · available technical, financial and managerial resources;  · working capital and other financial requirements;  · the history of operations, if any;  · prospects for the future;  · the nature of present and expected competition;  3   · the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of the management;  · the potential for further research, development or exploration;  · the potential for growth and expansion;  · the potential for profit;  · the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, trade or service marks, name identification; and other relevant factors.  Generally, our management will analyze all available factors and make a determination based upon a composite of available facts, without relying on any single factor.  Methods of Participation of Acquisition  Management will review specific business and then select the most suitable opportunities based on legal structure or method of participation.  Such structures and methods may include, but are not limited to, leases, purchase and sale agreements, licenses, joint ventures, other contractual arrangements, and may involve a reorganization, merger or consolidation transactions.  Management may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation, or other form of organization.  Procedures  As part of the our investigation of business opportunities, officers and directors may meet personally with management and key personnel of the firm sponsoring the business opportunity.  We may visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and conduct other reasonable measures.  We will generally ask to be provided with written materials regarding the business opportunity.  These materials may include the following:  · descriptions of product, service and company history; management resumes;  · financial information;  · available projections with related assumptions upon which they are based;  · an explanation of proprietary products and services;  · evidence of existing patents, trademarks or service marks or rights thereto;  · present and proposed forms of compensation to management;  · a description of transactions between the prospective entity and its affiliates;  · relevant analysis of risks and competitive conditions;  · a financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements;  · and other information deemed relevant.  Competition  We expect to encounter substantial competition in our efforts to acquire a business opportunity.  The primary competition is from other companies organized and funded for similar purposes, small venture capital partnerships and corporations, small business investment companies and wealthy individuals.  4   Employees  We do not currently have any employees but rely upon the efforts of our officer and director to conduct our business.  We do not have any employment or compensation agreements in place with our officers and directors although they are reimbursed for expenditures advanced on our behalf.  Principal Products or Services and Their Markets  None; not applicable  Competition, Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition  None; not applicable  Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers  None; not applicable  Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, Including Duration  None; not applicable  Need For Any Government Approval of Principal Products or Services  None; not applicable  Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business  None; not applicable  Time Spent During the Last Two Fiscal Years on Research and Development Activities  None; not applicable  Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws (federal, state and local)  None; not applicable  Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees  None  ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.  The Companys business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the following.  The Company has had very limited operating history and no revenues or earnings from operations. The Company has no significant assets or financial resources. The Company will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in the Company incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until the Company can consummate a business combination with a target company. There is no assurance that the Company can identify such a target company and consummate such a business combination.  Our proposed business plan is speculative in nature.  The success of the Companys proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified target company. While management will prefer business combinations with entities having established operating histories, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. In the event the Company completes a business combination, of which there can be no assurance, the success of the Companys operations will be dependent upon management of the target company and numerous other factors beyond the Companys control.   5   The Company is and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with and acquisitions of business entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be merger or acquisition target candidates for the Company. Nearly all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than the Company and, consequently, the Company will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, the Company will also compete with numerous other small public companies in seeking merger or acquisition candidates.  The Company has no current arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with or acquisition of a specific business entity. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or in concluding a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation by the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate a business combination on terms favorable to the Company. The Company has not established a specific length of operating history or a specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which it will require a target company to have achieved, or without which the Company would not consider a business combination with such business entity. Accordingly, the Company may enter into a business combination with a business entity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no potential for immediate earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteristics.  Our management has limited time to devote to our business.  While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting only a limited amount of time per month to the business of the Company. The Companys sole officer has not entered into a written employment agreement with the Company and he is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company has not obtained key man life insurance on its officer and director. Notwithstanding the combined limited experience and time commitment of management, loss of the services of this individual would adversely affect development of the Companys business and its likelihood of continuing operations.  The Companys officer and director participates in other business ventures which may compete directly with the Company. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also arise in the future.  Management has adopted a policy that the Company will not seek a merger with, or acquisition of, any entity in which any member of management serves as an officer, director or partner, or in which they or their family members own or hold any ownership interest.  Reporting requirements may delay or preclude an acquisition.  Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) requires companies subject thereto to provide certain information about significant acquisitions including certified financial statements for the company acquired covering one or two years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target companies to prepare such financial statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by the Company. Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.  The Company has neither conducted, nor have others made available to it, market research indicating that demand exists for the transactions contemplated by the Company. Even in the event demand exists for a merger or acquisition of the type contemplated by the Company, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in completing any such business combination.  The Companys proposed operations, even if successful, will in all likelihood result in the Company engaging in a business combination with only one business entity. Consequently, the Companys activities will be limited to those engaged in by the business entity which the Company merges with or acquires. The Companys inability to diversify its activities into a number of areas may subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Companys operations.  Potential for being classified an Investment Company.  Although the Company will be subject to regulation under the Exchange Act, management believes the Company will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event the Company engages in business combinations which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, the Company would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act could subject the Company to material adverse consequences.  6   A business combination involving the issuance of the Companys common stock will, in all likelihood, result in shareholders of a target company obtaining a controlling interest in the Company. Any such business combination may require shareholders of the Company to sell or transfer all or a portion of the Companys common stock held by them. The resulting change in control of the Company will likely result in removal of the present officer and director of the Company and a corresponding reduction in or elimination of his participation in the future affairs of the Company.  Currently, there are no pending acquisitions, business combinations or mergers.  The Companys primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination with a business entity which, in all likelihood, will result in the Company issuing securities to shareholders of such business entity. The issuance of previously authorized and unissued common stock of the Company would result in reduction in percentage of shares owned by the present shareholders of the Company and would most likely result in a change in control or management of the Company.  Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations in any business combination the Company may undertake. Currently, such transactions may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, pursuant to various federal and state tax provisions. The Company intends to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both the Company and the target company; however, there can be no assurance that such business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes which may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.  Management of the Company will request that any potential business opportunity provide audited financial statements. One or more attractive business opportunities may choose to forego the possibility of a business combination with the Company rather than incur the expenses associated with preparing audited financial statements. In such case, the Company may choose to obtain certain assurances as to the target companys assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses prior to consummating a business combination, with further assurances that audited financial statements would be provided after closing of such a transaction.  Closing documents relative thereto may include representations that the audited financial statements will not materially differ from the representations included in such closing documents.  Our stock is subject to the Penny Stock rules, which impose significant restrictions on the Broker-Dealers and may affect the resale of our stock.   Our stock is subject to PennyStock trading rules, and investors will experience resale restrictions and a lack of liquidity. A penny stock is generally a stock that:  · is not listed on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq;  · is listed in pink sheets or on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board;  · has a price per share of less than $5.00; and  · is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $5 million.  The penny stock trading rules impose additional duties and responsibilities upon broker-dealers and salespersons effecting purchase and sale transactions in common stock and other equity securities, including:  · determination of the purchasers investment suitability;  · delivery of certain information and disclosures to the purchaser; and  · receipt of a specific purchase agreement from the purchaser prior to effecting the purchase transaction.  Due to the Penny Stock rules, many broker-dealers will not effect transactions in penny stocks except on an unsolicited basis. When our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock trading rules,  · such rules may materially limit or restrict the ability to resell our common stock, and  · the liquidity typically associated with other publicly traded equity securities may not exist.  It is possible that a liquid market for our stock will never develop and you will not be able to sell your stock.  There is no assurance a market will be made in our stock.  If no market exists, you will not be able to sell your shares publicly, making your investment of little or no value.   7   ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.  None.  ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.  We do not currently own any property.  We utilize office space in the residence of our President at no cost.  We will not seek independent office space until we pursue a viable business opportunity and recognize income.   ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.  The Company is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings; and to the knowledge of management, no proceedings are presently contemplated against the Company by any federal, state or local governmental agency.  Further, to the knowledge of management, no director or executive officer is party to any action in which any has an interest adverse to the Company.   ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.  None.  PART II   ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.  Market Information  Our common stock is listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB), under the symbol CTVN".

There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.  Dividends  We have not paid, nor declared, any cash dividends since our inception and do not intend to declare any such dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay cash dividends is subject to limitations imposed by Nevada law. Under Nevada law, cash dividends may be paid to the extent that a corporations assets exceed its liabilities and it is able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business.  Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans  None.  Recent Sales or Purchases of Unregistered Securities  None.  ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.  Since we are a smaller reporting company, as defined by SEC regulation, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.   ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS  The statements made below with respect to our outlook for fiscal 2009 and beyond represent forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These include, among other risks and uncertainties, whether we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or other sources to fund our working capital needs, maintain existing relationships with our lender, successfully introduce and attain market acceptance of any new products, attract and retain qualified personnel both in our existing markets and in new territories in an extremely competitive environment, and potential obsolescence of our technologies.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as may, will, should, could, would, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, projects, predicts, potential and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except as otherwise required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this report to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any of our forward-looking statements are based.  We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.  Plan of Operation  The Company is seeking to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues. The Company has no particular acquisitions in mind and has not entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition. None of the Companys officers, directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any substantive contact or discussions with any representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between the Company and such other company as of the date of this annual report.  The Board of Directors intends to obtain certain assurances of value of the target entitys assets prior to consummating such a transaction.  Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to present stockholders of the Company.  9   The Companys current operating plan is to continue searching for potential businesses, products, technologies and companies for acquisition and to handle the administrative and reporting requirements of a public company.  To demonstrate our commitment to maintaining ethical reporting and business practices, we adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.  The Company has, and will continue to have, no capital with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets. However, management believes the Company will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the acquisition candidate will, however, incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, including the costs of preparing Form 8-Ks, 10-Ks, 10-Qs, agreements and related reports and documents.  Liquidity and Capital Resources  The Companys balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, reflects total assets of cash in the amount of $2,218. As of December 31, 2008, our liabilities were $76,179 which included $12,360 in accounts payable, $5,490 in accrued legal fees, $8,502 in accrued interest and $49,827 in a note payable to related parties.  We anticipate our expenses for the next twelve months will be approximately $20,000.  In the past we have relied on advances from our president to cover our operating costs.   Management anticipates that we will receive sufficient advances from our president to meet our needs through the next 12 months.  However, there can be no assurances to that effect.  Our need for capital may change dramatically if we acquire an interest in a business opportunity during that period.  At present, we have no understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to the acquisition of any business venture, and there can be no assurance that we will identify a business venture suitable for acquisition in the future.  Further, we cannot assure that we will be successful in consummating any acquisition on favorable terms or that we will be able to profitably manage any business venture we acquire.  Should we require additional capital, we may seek additional advances from officers, sell common stock or find other forms of debt financing.  The Company has no other assets or line of credit, other than that which present management may agree to extend to or invest in the Company, nor does it expect to have one before a merger is effected.  The Company will carry out its business plan as discussed above. The Company cannot predict to what extent its liquidity and capital resources will be diminished prior to the consummation of a business combination or whether its capital will be further depleted by the operating losses (if any) of the business entity which the Company  may eventually acquire.  Our current operating plan is to continue searching for potential businesses, products, technologies and companies for acquisition and to handle the administrative and reporting requirements of a public company.  To demonstrate our commitment to maintaining ethical reporting and business practices, we adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

These recently-enacted accounting standards have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.  Results of Operations  Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007  We have negligible available cash on hand and have experienced losses since inception.  We did not generate any revenues from operations during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.  Expenses during the year ended December 31, 2008 were $26,419 with interest expense of $4,824 compared to expenses of $21,505 with interest expense of $2,808 in 2007.  Expenses for both years consisted entirely of general and administrative expenses.  These expenses were due to professional, legal and accounting fees relating to our reporting requirements.  As a result of the foregoing factors, we realized a net loss of $31,243 for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to a net loss of $24,313 for the year ended December 31, 2007.  10   Years Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006  We have negligible available cash on hand and have experienced losses since inception.  We did not generate any revenues from operations during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.  Expenses during the year ended December 31, 2007 were $21,506 with interest expense of $2,808 compared to expenses of $17,534 with interest expense of $870 in 2006.  Expenses for both years consisted entirely of general and administrative expenses.  These expenses were due to professional, legal and accounting fees relating to our reporting requirements.  As a result of the foregoing factors, we realized a net loss of $24,313 for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to a net loss of $18,404 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  During the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the Company has engaged in no significant operations other than maintaining its reporting status with the SEC and seeking a business combination.  No revenues were received by the Company during this period.  For the current fiscal year, the Company anticipates incurring a loss as a result of legal and accounting expenses, and expenses associated with locating and evaluating acquisition candidates. The Company anticipates that until a business combination is completed with an acquisition candidate, it will not generate revenues, and may continue to operate at a loss after completing a business combination, depending upon the performance of the acquired business.  Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.  Need For Additional Financing  Based upon current managements willingness to extend credit to the Company and/or invest in the Company until a business combination is completed, the Company believes that its existing capital will be sufficient to meet the Companys cash needs required for the costs of compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and for the costs of accomplishing its goal of completing a business combination, for an indefinite period of time. Accordingly, in the event the Company is able to complete a business combination during this period, it anticipates that its existing capital will be sufficient to allow it to accomplish the goal of completing a business combination. There is no assurance, however, that the available funds will ultimately prove to be adequate to allow it to complete a business combination, and once a business combination is completed, the Companys needs for additional financing are likely to increase substantially.  In addition, as current management is under no obligation to continue to extend credit to the Company and/or invest in the Company, there is no assurance that such credit or investment will continue or that it will continue to be sufficient for future periods.   ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.  Since we have no assets and do not have any investments in eligible portfolio companies there is no quantitative information, as of the end of December 31, 2008, about market risk that has any impact on our present business. Once we begin making investments in eligible portfolio companies there will be market risk sensitive instruments and we will disclose the applicable market risk information at that time  ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.  The required financial statements are included following the signature page of this Form 10-K.  ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.  The Company has had no disagreements with its certified public accountants with respect to accounting practices or procedures or financial disclosure.  11   ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.  (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.Our management, with the participation of our President, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our President concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.  We believe our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.   Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.  Our management, with the participation of the President, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control  Integrated Framework.  Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the President, concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.  This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.  (b)  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, known to the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer, that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Conflicts of Interest  None of our key personnel is required to commit full time to our affairs and, accordingly, these individuals may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among their various business activities.  In the course of their other business activities, certain key personnel may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us, as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated.  As such, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.  Each officer and director is, so long as he is an officer or director, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation that come to his attention, either in the performance of his duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that he is affiliated with on an equal basis.  A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director.  If we or the companies to which the officer or director is affiliated each desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then the applicable officer or director would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity.  However, the officer or director may still take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so.  Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy in connection with these types of transactions  ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.  Audit Fee  The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of Cactus Ventures, Inc. annual financial statement and review of financial statements included in Cactus Ventures, Inc. 10-Q reports and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were $10,000 for fiscal year ended 2008 and $10,500 for fiscal year ended 2007.  Audit-Related Fees  The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of Cactus Ventures, Inc. financial statements that are not reported above were $0 for fiscal year ended 2008 and $0 for fiscal year ended 2007.  Tax Fees  The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning were $575 for fiscal year ended 2008 and $0 for fiscal year ended 2007.

Our board of directors will evaluate and approve in advance, the scope and cost of the engagement of an auditor before the auditor renders audit and non-audit services.

Button Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer  In accordance with the Exchange Act, this report has been signed below by the following persons on behalf of the registrant and in the capacities and on the dates indicated.   Date: February 20, 2009 /s/ Diane S. Button Diane S. Button Director    17   [cactus10k123108001.jpg]  To the Board of Directors and Shareholders Cactus Ventures, Inc San Diego, California  Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm  We have audited the balance sheets of Cactus Ventures, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2008.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides reasonable basis for my opinion.  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cactus Ventures, Inc as of December 31, 2008, the results of operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.    /s/ Hawkins Accounting January 21, 2009 Los Angeles, CA   F-1     CACTUS VENTURES, INCORPORATED BALANCE SHEET December 31, 2008 and 2007  UnauditedAuditedASSETS20082007Current assetsCash in bank$2,218$2,314Deposits on hand--Inventory-1Total current assets2,2182,314Equipment and parts--(Less) Accumulated depreciation----Total assets$2,218$2,314LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITYCurrent liabilitiesAccounts Payable$12,360$2,357Accrued Legal Fees5,4903,038Accrued interest8,5023,678State corporate tax payable--Total current liabilities26,3529,073Notes payable related parties49,82735,959Total liabilities76,17945,032Shareholders' deficitPreferred stock, 10,000,000 shares $.01 parauthorized, 0 outstanding--Common stock, 100,000,000 shares, $.01 parauthorized, 11,155,008 outstanding23,09823,098Paid in capital152,337152,337Retained deficit(249,396)(218,152)Total shareholders' equity(73,961)(42,717)Total liabilities and shareholders' equity$2,218$2,314  The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements  F-2     CACTUS VENTURES, INCORPORATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007  20082007Sales$-$-Cost of Goods--Gross profit--ExpensesBank charges9624Other costs7,5033,439Professional fees18,82018,042Total expenses26,41921,505Net loss from operations(26,419)(21,505)Other income (expense)Loss on sale-Interest expense(4,824)(2,808)State corporate tax expense--(4,824)(2,808)Net income (loss)$(31,243)$(24,313)Loss per common share$(0.01)$(0.01)Weighted average ofshares outstanding11,155,00811,155,008  The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements  F-3     CACTUS VENTURES, INCORPORATED STATEMENT OF SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT December 31, 2008 and 2007  Common stockPaidInRetainedSharesAmountCapitalDeficitTotalDecember 31, 200622,309,815$23,098$152,337$(193,839)$(18,404)1-for-2 reverse split(11,154,807)----Net loss for the period---(24,313)(24,313)December 31, 200711,155,008$23,098$152,337$(218,152)$(42,717)December 31, 200711,155,008$23,098$152,337$(218,152)$(42,717)Net loss for the period---(31,243)(31,243)December 31, 200811,155,008$23,098$152,337$(249,395)$(73,960)  The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements  F-4     CACTUS VENTURES, INCORPORATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS-INDIRECT METHOD For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007   20082007CASH FLOWS FROMOPERATING ACTIVITIESNet income (loss)$(31,243)$(24,313)Adjustment to reconcile net to net cashprovided by operating activitiesIncrease in Legal fees payable2,452-Increase in accounts payable10,0031,894Increase in accrued interest4,8242,808Increase in state franchise tax--Loss on transfer of assets--Rounding error--NET CASH PROVIDEDBY OPERATING ACTIVITIES(13,964)(19,611)INVESTING ACTIVITIESAssets transferred--NET CASH USED ININVESTING ACTIVITIES--FINANCING ACTIVITIESSale of common stock--Related party notes13,86821,459NET CASH REALIZEDFROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES13,86821,459INCREASE IN CASHAND CASH EQUIVALENTS(96)1,848Cash and cash equivalentsat the beginning of the year2,314466CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTSAT YEAR END$2,218$2,314  The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements  F-5     CACTUS VENTURES, INC Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2008 and 2007  NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  Nature of the business  The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 6, 1997. The Company for the past several years has had no activity.  Cactus Ventures, Inc (the Company) is a shell entity that is in the market for a merger with an appropriate company.  Pervasiveness 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, 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 these estimates.  Cash and cash equivalents  For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers all short term investments with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Inventories  Inventory, which includes parts and the packaging materials for those parts, is valued at the lower of cost or market on a first in first out method.  Property and equipment  Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized.  When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in income.  Depreciation - Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, over the useful lives of the assets.  Since the company has yet to commence operations, no depreciation has been taken.  Equipment consists of moldings being developed.  Income taxes  Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting.  The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.  Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements - The following accounting pronouncements if implemented would have no effect on the financial statements of the Company.  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS 160 requires companies with noncontrolling interests to disclose such interests clearly as a portion of equity but separate from the parents equity. The noncontrolling interests portion of net income must also be clearly presented on the Income Statement. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscals years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material impact on its financial position.  In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," as amended and interpreted, which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format provides a more complete picture of the location in an entity's financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period.  Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have a material impact on its financial position.  F-6     In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position.  In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position.  In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB SP EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities."  SP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share."  SP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited.  The Company is required to adopt SP EITF 03-6-1 in the first quarter of 2009 and does not expect SP EITF 03-6-1 to have a material impact on the Companys financial position.  NOTE 2: COMMON STOCK  On July 1, 2006, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of its stock to the new President.  Proceeds raised in this transaction were $2,000.  Prior to that, no stock was issued subsequent to January 2001.  As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were 11,155,008 shares of common stock outstanding.  On October 31, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a 1-for-2 reverse stock split, effective December 18, 2007,with all shareholders receiving a minimum of 100 shares.  Also on October 31, 2007, the Board of Directors approved amendments to the articles of incorporation and by-laws increasing authorization for shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000, $.01 par value, and granting authorization for 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value, effective December 18, 2007.  The reverse stock split, effective December 18, 2007, is reflected in the rollback of the Earnings Per Share calculation of 11,155,008 weighted share average for 2007.  NOTE 3: INCOME TAXES  The benefit for income taxes from operations consisted of the following components: current tax benefit of $31,243 from a net loss before income taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $31,243 resulting from a valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset resulting from net operating losses.  Net operating loss carryforward will expire in 2027.  The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will be realized.  At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction would result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax asset is no longer required.  F-7     NOTE 4: NOTES PAYABLE RELATED PARTIES  Amounts were advanced to the Company by related parties to pay for the expenses for the SEC filings.  Loans made prior to 2008 bear an interest rate of 12%.  Loans made after January 1, 2008 bear an interest rate of 8%. Amounts advanced to the company from the related parties were $49,827 and $35,959 for 2008 and 2007 respectively.  The notes were due and payable on December 31, 2008.  They have been extended through December 31, 2009.  NOTE 5: GOING CONCERN  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the company has a net loss of $31,243, a negative working capital deficiency of $24,134 and a stockholders deficiency of $249.396.  These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the companys ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the company is unable to continue as a going concern.   F-8
