PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

PROXY SOLICITATION. This Proxy Statement is mailed to holders of shares
("Shareholders") of the common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"),
of Catalyst Lighting Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in
connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the
Company for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on March 3,
2004, at 9:30 a.m. at the offices of Feldman Weinstein LLP, 420 Lexington
Avenue, Suite 2620, New York, New York 10170, and at any adjournment of such
meeting (the "Annual Meeting").

At the Annual Meeting the Shareholders will vote upon (i) the election of our
current five directors to continue serving in such capacity; (ii) approve our
current auditors; and (iii) approve our 2003 Stock Option Plan. Management
currently is not aware of any other matters which will come before the Annual
Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the
persons designated as proxies intend to vote in accordance with their judgment
on such matters.

Proxies for use at the Annual Meeting are being solicited by the Board of
Directors of the Company. These proxy materials are first being mailed to
Shareholders on or about February 17, 2004. Proxies will be solicited primarily
by mail. Certain officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company, none
of whom will receive additional compensation for such efforts, may solicit
proxies by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or other personal contact. The
Company will bear the cost of soliciting proxies, including postage, printing
and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and
others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock.
Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented at the Company's 2005 Annual
Meeting must be received at the Company's offices at 7700 Wyatt Drive, Fort
Worth, Texas 76108 no later than a reasonable time before the Company begins to
print and mail its proxy materials to be considered for inclusion in the proxy
statement and form of proxy for that meeting.

A quorum shall be present at the Annual Meeting if the holders of a majority of
the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote are represented at the meeting, in
person or by proxy. With respect to other items of business (and the Company is
not currently aware of any other items to be brought before the Annual Meeting),

a quorum shall be present at all meetings of the Shareholders of the Company, if
the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on that matter are
represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. The subsequent withdrawal of
any Shareholder from the meeting, after commencement of the meeting, or the
refusal of any Shareholder represented in person or by proxy to vote, shall have
no effect on the existence of a quorum, after quorum has been established at
such meeting. Despite the absence of a quorum at any meeting of Shareholders,
the Shareholders present may adjourn the meeting.

Unless otherwise provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Company, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the
shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is
present and each Shareholder entitled to vote has the right to vote the number
of shares owned by him for as many persons as there are directors to be elected.

REVOCABILITY AND VOTING OF PROXY

A form of proxy for use at the Annual Meeting and a return envelope for the
proxy are enclosed. Shares represented by duly executed proxies will be voted in
accordance with such Shareholders' instructions. If you sign the proxy, but do
not fill in a vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the
recommendations of the Company's Board of Directors as set forth herein. Any
proxy may be revoked by a Shareholder prior to its exercise upon written notice
to the Secretary of the Company, or by a Shareholder voting in person at the
Annual Meeting.

RECORD DATE AND VOTING RIGHTS

Shareholders of record at the close of business on February 3, 2004 (the "Record
Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any
adjournment(s) thereof. On the Record Date, the Company had outstanding and
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting 3,391,368 shares of Common Stock.
Shareholders as of the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share
held, with no shares having cumulative voting rights. The holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, present in person or by proxy and
entitled to vote, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Shares of
Common Stock are counted for quorum purposes if they are represented for any
purpose at the Annual Meeting other than solely to object to holding the Annual
Meeting or transacting business at the Annual Meeting. Assuming a quorum is
present, for the election of directors a plurality of the shares voting must
vote in the affirmative. The approval of any other matter coming before the
Annual Meeting requires that a majority of the shares voting must vote in the
affirmative. Abstentions and broker non-votes are neither counted for purposes
of determining the number of affirmative votes required for approval of
proposals nor voted for or against matters presented for Shareholder
consideration. Consequently, so long as a quorum is present, abstentions and
broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of any vote.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 1

ELECTION OF FIVE DIRECTORS

Five directors (constituting the entire Board of Directors) are to be elected at
the Annual Meeting. Unless otherwise specified, the enclosed proxy will be voted
in favor of the persons named below to serve until the next annual meeting of
shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. If
any of these nominees becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a vacancy should
occur before the election, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted for
the person, if any, who is designated by the Board of Directors to replace the
nominee or to fill the vacancy on the Board. All nominees have consented to be
named and have indicated their intent to serve if elected. The Board of
Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to
serve or that any vacancy on the Board of Directors will occur.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, there were no meetings of the
Company's Board of Directors. Approval of the annual audit is first given by our
audit committee and finally by the entire Board of Directors. Nominations are
made by the Board of Directors as a whole. The Board of Directors as a whole,
upon advice from our compensation committee, determines the compensation of the
Company's executive officers.

AUDIT COMMITTEE. The audit committee assists the Board of Directors in its
oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and reporting
practices of the Company. The audit committee's role includes discussing with
management the Company's processes to manage business and financial risk, and
for compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical and regulatory
requirements. The audit committee is responsible for the appointment,
replacement, compensation and oversight of the independent auditor engaged to
prepare or issue audit reports on the financial statements of the Company. The
audit committee relies on the expertise and knowledge of management, the
internal auditors and the independent auditor in carrying out its oversight
responsibilities. The Board of Directors has determined that each audit
committee member has sufficient knowledge in financial and auditing matters to
serve on the committee.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE. The primary purpose of the audit committee is to
assist the Board of Directors in its general oversight of the Company's
financial reporting process. The Committee's function is more fully described in
its charter, which the Board has adopted and is included as Exhibit I to this
Proxy Statement. The committee reviews the charter on an annual basis.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. The primary responsibilities of the Compensation
Committee are to (a) review and recommend to the Board the compensation of the
Chief Executive Officer and other officers of the Company, (b) review executive
bonus plan allocations, (c) oversee and advise the Board on the adoption of
policies that govern the Company's compensation programs, (d) oversee the
Company's administration of its equity-based compensation and other benefit
plans and (e) approve grants of stock options and stock awards to officers and
employees of the Company under its stock plan. The Compensation Committee's role
includes producing the report on executive compensation required by SEC rules
and regulations. The specific responsibilities and functions of the Compensation
Committee are delineated in the Compensation Committee Charter. The Compensation
Committee Charter is reviewed annually and updated as necessary to reflect
changes in regulatory requirements, authoritative guidance, and evolving
practices.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of
the Company's financial statements, accounting and financial reporting
principles, internal controls, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with
accounting standards, applicable laws, and regulations. The Company's
independent auditors, Hein + Associates LLP, are responsible for performing an
independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and expressing an
opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with generally accepted
accounting principles.

The audit committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements
of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003 with the Company's
management and has discussed with Hein + Associates LLP the matters required to
be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards Board Standard No. 61, as
amended, "Communication with Audit Committees." In addition, Hein + Associates
LLP has provided the audit committee with the written disclosures and the letter
required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence
Discussions with Audit Committees," and the Audit Committee has discussed with
Hein + Associates their independence.

Based on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the
Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2003, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. Upon the first closing of the sale of shares offered
pursuant to our current public offering, each of our three outside directors,

stock, 6,667 of which shall be immediately issuable and the remaining 3,333 of
which will be held in escrow and distributed to each of them provided they
remain on our board of directors through December 31, 2005. Members of our Board
who serve on the audit committee shall receive an additional $2,000 per meeting
for the first year of service and $1,000 per meeting for each year thereafter.
The audit committee chairman will receive $4,000 for the first year of service
and $2,000 for each year thereafter in addition to the audit committee meeting
fees. Messrs. Depenbusch and Glover will not receive any additional compensation

Glover, which expired December 31, 2003, providing for him to serve as Whitco's
President and Chief Executive Officer at an annual rate of $150,000. There is
currently no new written employment agreement with Mr. Glover but all parties
are continuing to act pursuant to the terms of the recently expired contract. We
anticipate entering into an employment agreement with Mr. Glover on terms to be
agreed upon. Mr. Glover is also eligible for medical and dental benefits, as
well as such other benefits as may be offered to executive officers from time to
time. Mr. Glover's employment agreement contains a confidentiality provision as
well as a non-compete clause for one year following his employment with Whitco.
We anticipate entering into an employment agreement with Dennis Depenbusch on
terms to be agreed upon.

The directors of the Company hold office until the next annual meeting of the
shareholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified. Upon
the first closing of the sale of shares offered pursuant to our current public

to each of them provided they remain on our board of directors for a period of
one year. Members of our Board who serve on the audit committee shall receive an
additional $2,000 per meeting for the first year of service and $1,000 per
meeting for each year thereafter. The audit committee chairman will receive

$4,000 for the first year of service and $2,000 for each year thereafter in
addition to the audit committee meeting fees. Messrs. Depenbusch and Glover will
not receive any additional compensation for serving on our Board. To date, no
Board of Directors' fees have been paid, however, Whitco did reimburse board
members for expenses incurred in connection with informal meetings prior to the
securities exchange with us. Officers are appointed by the Board of Directors
and serve at the discretion of the Board. Currently, Dennis H. Depenbusch and
Henry Glover are the only officers for Catalyst Lighting Group, Inc.

There are no agreements or understandings for any officer or director to resign
at the request of another person and none of the officers or directors is acting
on behalf of or will act at the direction of another person.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 2

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

On August 27, 2003, immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions
with Whitco, our Board of Directors adopted the 2003 Stock Option Plan,
reserving for issuance up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. In connection
with the merger with Whitco, options to purchase 808,632 shares of common stock
were granted to the then-option holders of Whitco, with 582,141 of such options
vested as of February 3, 2004.

As of September 30, 2003, and in accordance with our 2003 Stock Option Plan,
there were incentive options outstanding to purchase 808,632 shares of common
stock, with 552,657 of such options currently vested. Twenty percent (20%) of
the non-vested options vest on each anniversary date of the option grant. The
holders of these options, their position in Whitco and the number of options
held by each, are as follows:

Weighted
Average
Name Title # Options Issued exercise price
---- ----- ---------------- --------------

Henry Glover President/CEO (of Whitco) 250,779 $0.86
Kevin B. Medlin Vice President Sales 97,163 $0.86
Thomas Lach Vice President Engineering 97,163 $0.86
Ben Mosqueda Manager Quotations/Drafting 11,727 $0.86
Kip Pritchard Vice President 351,800 $0.30
-------
Total 808,632
=======

Accordingly, our option plan reserves an additional 691,368 shares of common
stock for future issuance.

The Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors (or by a committee of
the Board of Directors, if one is appointed for this purpose), provided that
members of the Board of Directors who are either eligible for Awards (as defined
below) or have been granted Awards may not vote on any matters affecting the
administration of the Plan or the grant of any Award pursuant to the Plan if
required pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

The Option Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options (within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code) and nonqualified stock options
(individually, an "Award" or collectively, "Awards"), to those officers or other
key employees, directors or consultants, with potential to contribute to the
future success of the Company or its subsidiaries, provided, that only employees
may be granted incentive stock options. The Board of Directors has discretion to
select the persons to whom Awards will be granted (from among those eligible),
to determine the type, size and terms and conditions applicable to each Award
and the authority to interpret, construe and implement the provisions of the
Option Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to incentive stock
options, the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time such Award is
granted) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock
options are exercisable for the first time by such employee during any calendar
year shall not exceed $100,000 under all plans of the employer corporation or
its parent or subsidiaries. The Board of Directors' decisions are binding on the
Company and persons eligible to participate in the Option Plan and all other
persons having any interest in the Option Plan. It is presently anticipated that
approximately seven individuals initially will participate in the Option Plan.

The total number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards under
the Option Plan is 1,500,000, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms
of the Option Plan. Common Stock issued under the Option Plan may be either
authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares or any combination thereof. To
the fullest extent permitted under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and
Sections 162(m) and 422 of the Code, any shares of Common Stock subject to an
Award which lapses, expires or is otherwise terminated prior to the issuance of
such shares may become available for new Awards. Options to purchase Common
Stock granted as Awards ("Options"), which may be nonqualified or incentive
stock options, may be granted under the Option Plan at an exercise price (the
"Option Price") determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion,
provided, that the Option Price of incentive stock options may be no less than
the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant (or
110% of fair market value in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a
ten percent shareholder).

Options will expire not later than ten years after the date on which they are
granted. Options become exercisable at such times and in such installments as
determined by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
each Option shall, except as otherwise provided in the stock option agreement
between the Company and an optionee, become exercisable in full for the
aggregate number of shares covered thereby unconditionally on the first day
following the occurrence of any of the following: (a) the approval by the
shareholders of the Company of an Approved Transaction; (b) a Control Purchase;
or (c) a Board Change (each as defined below). For purposes of the Option Plan,
(i) an "Approved Transaction" shall mean (A) any consolidation or merger of the
Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or
pursuant to which shares of Common Stock would be converted into cash,
securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the
holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the merger have the same
proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately
after the merger, or (B) any sale, lease, exchange, or other transfer (in one
transaction or a series of related transactions) of all, or substantially all,
of the assets of the Company, or (C) the adoption of any plan or proposal for
the liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (ii) a "Control Purchase" shall
mean circumstances in which any person (as such term is defined in Sections
l3(d)(3) and l4(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), corporation or other entity (other
than the Company or any employee benefit plan sponsored by the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company) (x) shall purchase any Common Stock of the Company
(or securities convertible into the Company's Common Stock) for cash, securities
or any other consideration pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer, without
the prior consent of the Board of Directors, or (y) shall become the "beneficial
owner" (as such term is defined in Rule l3d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly
or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of
the Company ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special
circumstances) having the right to vote in the election of directors (calculated
as provided in paragraph (d) of such Rule l3d-3 in the case of rights to acquire

the Company's securities), and (iii) A "Board Change" shall mean circumstances
in which, during any period of two consecutive years or less, individuals who at
the beginning of such period constitute the entire Board shall cease for any
reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination
for election by the Company's shareholders, of each new director was approved by
a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office.

In the event that dividends are payable in Common Stock or in the event there
are splits, subdivisions or combinations of shares of Common Stock, the number
of shares available under the Option Plan shall be increased or decreased
proportionately, as the case may be, and the number of shares delivered upon the
exercise thereafter of any Option theretofore granted or issued shall be
increased or decreased proportionately, as the case may be, without change in
the aggregate purchase price.

In the event that an Option holder ceases to be an employee for any reason other
than permanent disability, retirement under certain circumstances (as determined
by the Board of Directors) or death, such holder shall have ninety (90) days to
exercise any Option, including any unexercised portion thereof, which was
otherwise exercisable on the date of termination. In the event of the
termination of a holder's employment resulting from retirement or permanent
disability of the Option holder while an employee, any Option granted to such
employee shall be exercisable for one (l) year after the date of termination of
employment due to permanent disability, but in no event after the expiration of
the exercise period. In the event of the death of an Option holder while an
employee, or during the one (l) year period after the date of termination of
employment due to retirement or permanent disability of the Option holder, that
portion of the Option which had become exercisable on the date of death shall be
exercisable by his or her personal representatives, heirs or legatees at any
time prior to the expiration of one (l) year from the date of the death of the
Option holder, but in no event after the expiration of the exercise period.

The Board of Directors may at any time alter, amend, suspend or discontinue the
Option Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation shall
be made which would impair the rights of any recipient of an Option under any
agreement theretofore entered into under the Option Plan, without his consent,
or which, without the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company
approving such action, would:

(a) except as is provided in the Option Plan, increase the total number of
shares of stock reserved for the purposes of the Option Plan; or

(b) extend the duration of the Option Plan; or

(d) change the category of persons who can be eligible participants under
the Option Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board of Directors may, any

time or from time to time, authorize the Company, without the consent of the
respective recipients, to issue new Options in exchange for the surrender and
cancellation of any or all outstanding Options.

The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of common stock
represented at the meeting is required to approve the 2003 Stock Option Plan.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CATALYST LIGHTING GROUP, INC. RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE
"FOR" ADOPTION OF THE COMPANY'S 2003 STOCK OPTION PLAN.

Exhibit I

CATALYST LIGHTING GROUP, INC. AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

ROLE

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors assists the Board of Directors in
fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the
accounting and reporting practices of the Company, the qualifications and
independence of the public accounting firm engaged to prepare or issue an audit
report on the financial statements of the Company (the "independent auditor"),
performance of the internal auditor and the Company's internal audit function,
and such other duties as directed by the Board. The Committee's role includes
discussing with management the Company's processes to manage financial risk, and
for compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical, and regulatory
requirements. The Committee has sole authority over the appointment and
replacement of the independent auditor and is directly responsible for
compensation, and oversight of the independent auditor.

MEMBERSHIP

The membership of the Committee consists of at least two directors. Each member
shall meet the experience requirements of the listing standards of the
applicable stock market on which the Company's common stock is traded and
applicable laws and regulations. Each member will be free of any relationship
that, in the opinion of the board, would interfere with his or her individual
exercise of independent judgment. Applicable laws and regulations will be
followed in evaluating a member's independence. Committee members will not serve
simultaneously on the audit committees of more than two other public companies.
The Board appoints the chairperson.

OPERATIONS

The Committee meets at least once each quarter. Additional meetings may occur as
the Committee or its chair deems advisable. The Committee will cause to be kept
adequate minutes of all its proceedings, and will report its actions to the next
meeting of the Board. Committee members will be furnished with copies of the
minutes of each meeting and any action taken by unanimous consent. The Committee
will be governed by the same rules regarding meetings (including meetings by
conference telephone or similar communications equipment), action without
meetings, notice, waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements as are
applicable to the Board. The Committee is authorized and empowered to adopt its
own rules of procedure not inconsistent with (a) any provision hereof, (b) any
provision of the Bylaws of the Corporation, or (c) the laws of the state of
Delaware.

COMMUNICATIONS/REPORTING

The independent auditor reports directly to the Committee. The Committee is
expected to maintain free and open communication with the independent auditor,
the Company's internal auditors and the Company's management. This communication
will include periodic separate executive sessions with each of these parties.

EDUCATION

The Company is responsible for providing the Committee with educational
resources related to accounting principles and procedures, current accounting
topics pertinent to the Company and other material as may be requested by the
Committee. The Company will assist the Committee in maintaining appropriate
financial literacy.

AUTHORITY

The Committee will have the resources and authority necessary to discharge its
duties and responsibilities, including the authority to retain outside counsel
or other experts or consultants, as it deems appropriate. Any communications
between the Committee and legal counsel in the course of obtaining legal advice
will be considered privileged communications of the Company, and the Committee
will take all necessary steps to preserve the privileged nature of those
communications.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Committee's specific responsibilities in carrying out its oversight role are
delineated in the Audit Committee Responsibilities Calendar. As the compendium
of Committee responsibilities, the most recently updated Responsibilities
Calendar will be considered to be an addendum to this Charter. The Committee
will review and reassess the adequacy of this Charter annually to reflect
changes in regulatory requirements, authoritative guidance and evolving
oversight practices and recommend any proposed changes to the Board.

The Committee relies on the expertise and knowledge of management, the internal
auditors and the independent auditor in carrying out its oversight
responsibilities. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the
Company's financial statements are complete, accurate and in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The independent auditor is responsible
for auditing the Company's financial statements. It is not the duty of the
Committee to plan or conduct audits, to determine that the financial statements
are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, to conduct investigations, or to assure compliance with
laws and regulations or the Company's internal policies, procedures and
controls.
