Our common stock is listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), under the symbol “CTVN.”  There was not an active market and no trading volume during fiscal 2007 and there has been no trading volume in 2008, therefore the aggregate market value of the issuer’s common stock held by non-affiliates at February 8, 2008 is deemed to be $-0-.
 
Note: If determining whether a person is an affiliate will involve an unreasonable effort and expense, the issuer may calculate the aggregate market value of the common equity held by non-affiliates on the basis of reasonable assumptions, if the assumptions are stated.

(ISSUERS INVOLVED IN BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS DURING THE PAST FIVE YEARS)

PART I

Item 1. Description of Business
 
Forward-Looking Statement Notice
 
When used in this report, the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding events, conditions, and financial trends that may affect Cactus Venture’s future plans of operations, business strategy, operating results, and financial position.  Persons reviewing this report are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

Our Business

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.
3


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;
·  
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.

4



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.

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.

Item 2.  Description of Property.

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.

No legal proceedings are threatened or pending against Cactus Ventures or any of our officers or directors.  Further, none of our officers, directors or affiliates are parties against Cactus Ventures or have any material interests in actions that are adverse our own.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securities Holders.

During the fourth quarter 2007, the Company took the following actions which were approved by a written consent of a majority of the shareholders:

1.  
Reverse split the currently issued and outstanding common stock of the Company on a 2 to 1 ratio, with no shareholder being reversed to less than a round lot of 100 shares.

2.  
Amend and restate the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized capital so the total number of shares of Common Stock the Company is authorized to issue is One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares with $0.01 par value and the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the Company is authorized to issue is Ten Million (10,000,000) shares with $0.01 par value, in such series and designations as may be authorized by the Board of Directors.

The Company’s Board of Directors approved these actions on October 31, 2007.  The stockholders holding shares representing 89.65% of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders, consented in writing to the proposed actions also on October 31, 2007. The effective date of the actions was December 18, 2007.

As of February 11, 2008, there were approximately 60 shareholders of record holding 11,155,008 shares of common stock. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

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.

Item 6.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2007, we had $2,314 in available cash on hand and $45,032 in liabilities.  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.

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.

Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109”, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”, SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”, SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”, SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”, SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets”, SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments”, and SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3”, were recently issued. These recently-enacted accounting standards have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Item 7.  Financial Statements.

Our financial statements appear at the end of this report beginning with the Index to Financial Statements on page F-1.

Item 8A(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.
 
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, 2007.  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, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
      (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.
 
Item 8B. Other Information

There are no further disclosures. All information that was required to be disclosed in a Form 8-K during the fourth quarter, 2007 has been disclosed.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

I have audited the balance sheets of Cactus Ventures, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that I 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.  I believe that my audit provides reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cactus Ventures, Inc as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, the results of operations and it’s cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 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 6 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.

CACTUS VENTURES, INC
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007 and 2006

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 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.

 Income taxes
 
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109  (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,  Accounting for Income Taxes.  FIN 48 describes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2008.  The Company has not yet determined the impact of this new accounting interpretation on its financial statements.
 
Quantifying financial statement misstatements
 
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). Due to diversity in practice among registrants, SAB 108 expresses SEC staff views regarding the process by which misstatements in financial statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both the balance sheet and income statement approaches and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relative quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application is encouraged. The Company does not believe SAB 108 will have a material impact on the Company’s results from operations or financial position.
 
Fair value measurements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This standard also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years; therefore, the Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 157 at the beginning of fiscal 2009. The Company does not believe SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on the Company’s results from operations or financial position.    In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses related to these financial instruments reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Management asserts that none of the preceding pronouncements will have a   material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 2:                       COMMON STOCK

On July 1, 2006, the Company sold 20,000,000 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.

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 and 6,155,008 weighted share average for 2007 and 2006 respectively.


NOTE 3:                       INCOME TAXES

The benefit for income taxes from operations consisted of the following components: current tax benefit of $61,250 from a net loss before income taxes, and a deferred tax expense of $61,250 resulting from a valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset resulting from net operating losses.  Net operating loss carryforward will expire in 2014.

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.


NOTE 4:                       NOTES PAYABLE RELATED PARTIES

Amounts were advanced to the Company by related parties to pay for the expenses for the SEC filings.  Interest is at 12%. Amounts advanced to the company from the related parties were $35,959 and $14,500 for 2007 and 2006 respectively.  The notes are due and payable on December 31, 2008.
