NOTES TO
UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 — Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by
ValueRich, Inc. (the “Registrant”) in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly,
these condensed financial statements do not include all of the disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
unaudited interim condensed financial statements furnished herein include all
adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim period presented. Although management
believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the
information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the Registrant's audited
financial statements and notes included in the Registrant’s Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. Operating results
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2008.
Note
2 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The
Registrant bases its estimates on historical experience, management expectations
for future performance, and other assumptions as appropriate. Key areas affected
by estimates include the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets,
which is based on such factors as estimated future cash flows. The Registrant
re-evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis; actual results may vary from
those estimates.
Fair Values of Financial
Instruments
The
carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses approximate the fair values of these instruments due to their
short-term nature. The carrying amount for borrowings under the financing
agreement approximates fair value because of the variable market interest rate
charged to the Registrant for these borrowings. The Registrant adopted
SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements, for financial assets and financial liabilities in the
first quarter of fiscal 2008, which did not have an impact on the Registrant’s
financial statements.
In
accordance with FASB Staff Position (“FSP FAS”) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157, the Registrant has deferred application of
SFAS No. 157 until January 1, 2009, the beginning of its next fiscal
year, in relation to nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities including goodwill impairment testing, asset retirement obligations,
long-lived asset impairments and exit and disposal
activities.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Registrant to concentrations of
credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The
Registrant places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times
may exceed the FDIC $100,000 insurance limit. The Registrant extends credit
based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, generally without
collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each
customer’s financial condition. The Registrant monitors its exposure for credit
losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required. Accounts
are “written-off” when deemed uncollectible.
NOTES TO
UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Costs of replacements and major improvements
are capitalized, and maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Depreciation expense is provided primarily by the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets, three years for computer
equipment, five years for furniture and equipment and fifteen years for
leasehold improvements.
Revenues
are recognized in the period that services are provided. For revenue from
product sales, the Registrant recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB104”), which superseded
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”
(“SAB101”). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue
can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2)
delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4)
collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are
based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices
of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions
for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and
other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are
recorded. The Registrant defers any revenue for which the product has not been
delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Registrant and the
customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will
be required. Payments received in advance are deferred until the product is
delivered or service is rendered. SAB 104 incorporates Emerging Issues Task
Force 00-21 (“EITF 00-21”), “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” EITF
00-21 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or
performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The
effect of implementing EITF 00-21 on our financial position and results of
operations was not significant.
Income Taxes
The
Registrant accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method
whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be realized or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax
assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date. Realizing of deferred tax assets is assessed throughout the year
and a valuation allowance is recorded if necessary to reduce net deferred tax
assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.
The
Registrant has a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting
purposes that may be offset against future taxable income. Current tax laws
limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income
when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Accordingly, the amount available
to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported
in the financial statements, because the Registrant is uncertain if they will
ever be in a position to utilize the NOL carry forward. Accordingly, the
potential tax benefits of the loss carry forward are offset by a valuation
allowance of the same amount.
The
Registrant is current in its filing of federal income tax returns. The
Registrant believes that the statutes of limitations for its federal income tax
returns are open for years after 2004. The Registrant is not currently under
examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing
authority.
The
Registrant adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48
(“FIN 48”), Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. The adoption of
FIN 48 had no impact on the Registrant’s financial statements. At
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Registrant had no
unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Registrant’s
effective income tax rate over the next 12 months.
The
Registrant’s practice is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized
tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. At
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Registrant had no accrued
interest or penalties.

Stock
Based Compensation
The
Registrant accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No.
123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” The
Registrant recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value
of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and
non-employees. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 the Registrant
issued 290,000 restricted shares of its common stock for services
rendered in the amount $57,833 which were issued pursuant
to its Amended and Restated Incentive Stock Plan. The
Registrant did not grant any new employee options and no options were cancelled
or exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008,
there were 1,141,429 warrants outstanding.
There
were no warrants or options awarded for the first quarter of fiscal
2008.
Earnings
(loss) per share
In
accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per
Share,” the basic earnings/loss per common share is computed by dividing
net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings/loss per common share is computed
similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased
to include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional
common shares were dilutive. At March 31, 2008, there were substantial potential
dilutive securities, including 1,141,429 shares reserved for conversion of
outstanding warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the
Registrant incurred net losses; therefore the effect of any dilutive securities
(if existing) would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting
Standards
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements. This standard provides guidance for using fair value
to measure assets and liabilities. The 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. The standard
applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be
measured at fair value, but does not expand the use of fair value in any new
circumstances. There are numerous previously issued statements dealing with fair
values that are amended by SFAS No. 157. SFAS No. 157 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”)
FAS 157-1, Application of
FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting
Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease
Classification or Measurement under Statement 13, which scopes out
leasing transactions accounted for under SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases. In
February 2008, FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement
No. 157, was issued, which delays the effective date of
SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at
fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).
The implementation of SFAS No. 157 for financial assets and financial
liabilities, effective December 31, 2007, did not have a material impact on
the Registrant’s condensed financial statements. The Registrant is currently
assessing the impact of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and
nonfinancial liabilities on its financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 115. SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to
report many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are
not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective of
SFAS No. 159 is to reduce both complexity in accounting for financial
instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets
and liabilities differently. The FASB believes that SFAS No. 159 helps
to mitigate accounting-induced volatility by enabling companies to report
related assets and liabilities at fair value, which would likely reduce the need
for companies to comply with detailed rules for hedge accounting.
SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities,
and would require entities to display the fair value of those assets and
liabilities for which the Registrant has chosen to use fair value on the face of
the balance sheet. The new statement does not eliminate disclosure requirements
included in other accounting standards, including requirements for disclosures
about fair value measurements included in SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.
SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Registrant elected this fair
value option; consequently, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not
have an impact on the Registrant’s financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting
Standards
In March
2008, the FASB issued FAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133” (FAS 161). FAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements
of FAS 133 to require qualitative disclosure about objectives and
strategies for using derivatives; quantitative disclosures about fair value
amounts and gains and losses on derivative instruments; and disclosures about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The statement
is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and
hedging activities through the enhanced disclosures in order to enable investors
to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. The provisions of FAS 161 are effective for our
fiscal year 2009. The Registrant is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of
FAS 161 on our Financial Statements.
NOTES TO
UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (FAS 141R), which replaces FAS No. 141, “Business
Combinations.” FAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an
acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The statement also establishes disclosure
requirements that will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of the business combination. FAS 141R is effective for our fiscal year 2009 and
must be applied prospectively to all new acquisitions closing on or after
January 1, 2009. Early adoption of this standard is not permitted. The
Registrant is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of FAS 141R on our
Financial Statements.
In
December 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 110 (“SAB 110”), which expresses the
views of the SEC staff regarding the use of a “simplified” method, as discussed
in the previously issued SAB 107, in developing an estimate of expected
term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with
SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. In
particular, the SEC staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a
company’s election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the
company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected
term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the SEC staff believed that more
detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee
exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over
time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the SEC staff stated in
SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for
share option grants after December 31, 2007. The SEC staff understands that
such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely
available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the SEC staff will continue to
accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond
December 31, 2007. Upon the Registrant’s adoption of
SFAS No. 123(R), the Registrant elected to use the simplified method
to estimate the Registrant’s expected term.
Note
3 — Derivative Liability
As of
3/31/2008 the Registrant has an outstanding liability to its IR firm of 100,000
shares of its common stock, which is valued at $100,000. Per the terms of the
agreement, the Registrant must register these shares with the SEC and AMEX, and
accordingly, until successfully done, the Registrant carries the $100,000
liability on its Balance Sheet under the category of “Derivative
Liability”.

5 – Common Stock
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008 the Registrant issued 290,000 restricted
shares of its common stock for services rendered in the amount

Note
6 –Other Income (Expense)
Our March
31, 2007 financials incorporated in our SB-2/A filing dated 5/30/2007 included
two categories under the heading "Other Income (Expense)", which were "Interest
Expense" and "Other Income (Expense)". Under that presentation interest income
of $10,820 was included with other income/expense of $(1,688) in the
category "Other Income (Expense)" for a total of $9,132. Our current financial
presentation nets interest income and interest expense as a single category, and
keeps separate all non-interest related other income/expense. Therefore on our
current Statement of Operations for March 31, 2007, combined interest income and
interest expense is $8,329 (or the net of $19,149 and $(10,820)) and other
income/expense expense reflects the true other income/expense of
$1,688.
Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Plan of
Operations
This
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Condensed Financial Statements and related notes. Our discussion and analysis of
our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any
contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review
our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical
experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under
different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will
materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our critical
accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the
presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult,
subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in ‘‘Critical Accounting
Policies,’’ and have not changed significantly.
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Certain statements made in this report
may constitute “forward-looking statements on our current expectations and
projections about future events”. These forward-looking statements
involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause
the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Registrant to be
materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “potential,”
“continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,”
“estimates,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on our current
beliefs, expectations, and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties. Although we
believe that the expectations reflected-in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements. These
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report, and we assume
no obligation to update these forward-looking statements whether as a result of
new information, future events, or otherwise, other than as required by law. In
light of these assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, the forward-looking events
discussed in this report might not occur and actual results and events may vary
significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements.
General
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the our
condensed financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December
31, 2007 included in our Form 10K-SB for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The discussion of
results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that
such results or trends will necessarily continue in the future.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Three Months
Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Our
results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 have been
significantly impacted by our decision to revise our financial expo line of
business to be a co-branded or partnered expo in response to increased
competition we have experienced in the financial convention space. Since we were
unable until recently to find a suitable partner to co-brand or partner our
expos, we did not have any expo events during the first quarter of 2008 and
therefore we did not derive any revenue from expos during such quarter. We have
recently found partners, Starlight Capital, Inc. and M. J. Segal Associates, to
co-host our next expo, the New York Private Equity XXII 2008: National Business
Innovation and Venture Forum, which will be held on June 26, 2008. Therefore, we
expect to derive increased revenue during the second quarter of
2008.
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we did not generate any revenue since we did
not have any expo events or publish any editions of our
magazine. During the same period of 2007, we had revenues of
$546,672. Our total
cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $6,230 as compared
to $404,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Total
operating expenses increased significantly from $284,284 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 to $449,085 for the three months ended March 31,
2008. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily
attributable to an increase in professional fees associated with being a public
company. Most of these expenses are not expected to be recurring expenses. Net
loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 increased to $(421,769) from
$(151,687) for the period ended March 31, 2007 primarily as a result of the
decrease in revenues and to a lesser extent professional fees.
Our
Corporate History
ValueRich,
Inc., (the Registrant), was incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida
on July 11, 2003 and reincorporated in Delaware on March 3, 2006. The Company
owns various online and offline media-based properties for corporate and
financial professionals. Its properties include 1) iValueRich.com, 2) ValueRich
magazine and 3) the ValueRich Small-cap Financial Expo. iValueRich.com is an
online community providing a range of business solutions for public companies
and the many industry related businesses and professionals that seek to do
business with each other. The small-cap financial expo is a unique expo-style
financial conference format for small-cap public companies to showcase their
products and services and have continuous access to investment bankers and
buy-side professionals.
We have a
limited operating history. We launched iValuerich.com in June 2006, we hosted
our first financial expo in March 2005, and we published our first edition of
ValueRich magazine in the spring of 2004. During our limited operating history,
we have not been profitable. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we
incurred a net loss of $(421,769).
Our
corporate mission is to create an active community of Wall Street professionals
and small-cap public company executives. To accomplish this we will use our
online and offline properties, including our global Internet community, print
publishing and financial events to connect the corporate and financial
professionals that make up the securities industry. We seek to accomplish this
through our integrated portfolio of products and services that we now provide
for the small public capitalization market place.
Our
Plan of Operation
Although
we believe we have been successful in building brand recognition, we are
currently revising our financial expo line of business to be a co-branded or
partnered expo in response to increased competition we have experienced in the
financial convention space. We intend that our future events will be a
co-branded and partnered expo with one or more of the investment banks and
service providers that directly benefit from their access to micro-cap
companies, so as to leverage on our brand recognition and reduce direct and
indirect overhead costs. We have recently found that in many cases
our clients are being offered free and/or no charge presentation spots at
investment banking conferences where the host investment bank derives revenue
not from charging the exhibiting companies to present but rather from the
investment banking fees derived from engaging the invited company and generating
revenue from investment banking services, consulting and advisory fees. In
addition, as the sole host of our events, we have experienced that we were
carrying a majority of the financial exposure and overhead to these events,
while the banks and service providers that simply sponsored or attended our
events were benefiting equally. We have recently found partners, Starlight
Capital, Inc. and M. J. Segal Associates, to co-host our next expo, the New York
Private Equity XXII 2008: National Business Innovation and Venture Forum, which
will be held on June 26, 2008. While we have found a co partner for
our upcoming expo and we intend to continue to share the financial exposure and
infrastructure with investment banks, service providers and Wall Street
professionals that gain from these events no assurance, however, can be given
especially in light of the current negative market environment that we will be
able to continue to secure a co-partner for these events.
We have
also made changes to our magazine line of business in an effort to reduce costs
and increase revenue derived from the magazine, which include the decision to
publish our magazine digitally. The magazine will maintain its format, lay-out
and size, and we believe the user experience will not change dramatically. We
also expect that the on-line user friendly publishing format will increase the
deliverable format to a wider and broader market of new readers. The Internet
and online publishing platform also allows us to attract more readers and
subscribers for substantially decreased costs. As a result, we expect our direct
and indirect expenses for publishing the magazine, such as printing and mailing
costs to decrease dramatically.
We are
also actively involved in seeking to secure an interest in a licensed FINRA
broker-dealer. We believe that leveraging our database and clients along with
the contacts and relationships established by our conference and Media business,
would enable us to benefit from the fee generated side of the banking
business
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
For the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 we had a decrease in total cash resources of
$374,508. The decrease in
cash was due in most part to lack of sales to offset costs and one time
consulting expenses. Noncash stock issuances was $57,833 for
the three months ended March 31, 2008.
We have
spent, and expect to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with
the implementation of our business strategy, including our revisions to our
current lines of business and our future endeavors. Based on our current plans,
we believe that our cash will be sufficient to enable us to meet our planned
operating needs at least for the next 12 months.
Item
4T - Controls and Procedures
As
required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period
covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer, who is our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer. Based on this evaluation, this officer has concluded
that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. In designing and evaluating our controls and procedures, our
management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are
met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures,
our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and
procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also
is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events,
and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its
stated goals under all potential future conditions.
