Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 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. 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 Company 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 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.


Our Corporate History

ValueRich, Inc., (the Company), 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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred a net loss of $809,561.

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.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the period ended September 30, 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 mid second quarter to find a suitable partner to co-brand or partner our expos, we did not have any expo events during the first three quarters of 2008 as we had planned, and therefore we did not derive any revenue from expos during such quarters.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2008 vs. the three month period ended September 30, 2007

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, we generated $89,950 in revenue that arose from consulting services we provided. During the same period of 2007, we had revenues of $0. Our total cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $1,560 as compared to $40,878 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Total operating expenses decreased significantly from $991,217 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to $289,599 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in salaries as a result in downsizing due to a change in our focus. Net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the period ended September 30, 2007 decreased from $1,017,224 to $187,513 primarily as a result of the decrease in revenues and consequently a decrease in staffing costs.


For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 vs. the nine month period ended September 30, 2007

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we generated $89,950 in revenue that arose from consulting services we provided. During the same period of 2007, we had revenues of $891,617. Our total cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $7,876 as compared to $678,058 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Total operating expenses decreased between the periods from $1,649,187 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $1,000,448 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in total operating expenses was primarily attributable to a decrease in salaries as a result in downsizing due to a change in our focus. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased to $809,561 from $1,439,708 for the same period ended September 30, 2007 primarily as a result of the decrease in revenues.

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 believe 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. 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

We are also in the process of launching a new web property, WallStreetHDTV.com aimed at helping companies raise capital, go public and attract shareholders. We plan to harness the global power of the internet to present client offerings to enable clients to raise capital through investment banks, brokerage firms, fund managers and institutional and qualified investors


around the world using our high-definition multi-media Web player.
WallStreetHDTV.com will produce a high-definition (HD) video presentation in our state-of-the-art studio, then make it accessible in a SEC compliant Web-based presentation to a global audience of investment banks, brokerage firms, fund managers and institutional and qualified investors. The proprietary WallStreetHDTV.com streaming-video Web player will synchronize a company's HD video with their PowerPoint presentation and offer the prospectus or other related financial documents for download. Investment bankers, brokers and other financial professionals, will be able to use WallStreetHDTV.com's book marking and sharing tools to expand the presentation audience exponentially around the world.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 we had a decrease in total cash resources of $1,020,350. The decrease in cash was due in most part to lack of sales to offset costs and professional and consulting expenses. Noncash stock issuances was $88,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 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. Because of current economic and market conditions and due to the unknown future of our nations's economic health, we have taken prudent measures to manage our cash position and not force the growth of our core business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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. We base our 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. We re-evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis; actual results may vary from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. We place our cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC insurance limit. We extend 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. We monitor our exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required. Accounts are "written-off" when deemed uncollectible.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

Marketable Securities

The Company has designated its investments in marketable securities as available-for-sale. Such securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholder's equity. Investment income will be recognized on an accrual basis.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the depreciation method and period are consistent with the anticipated pattern of future economic benefits. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations.

We provide for depreciation over the assets estimated lives as follows:

  Computers and Equipment      3 years
  Furniture and Fixtures       5 years
  Leasehold Improvements      15 years

Intangible Asset

The Company's intangible asset consists of website development costs, incurred throughout 2008, that are for the development of the Company's Internet website. These costs have been capitalized when acquired and installed, and are being amortized over three years. The Company accounts for these costs in accordance with EITF 00-2, "Accounting for Website Development Costs," which specifies the appropriate accounting for costs incurred in connection with the development and maintenance of websites. Amortization expense amounted to $5,730 and $7,467 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

We apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business." We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance


with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on our review, we believe that, as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no significant impairments of our long-lived assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentrations

On January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosures requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels are defined as follow:

· Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

· Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

· Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 2008, we did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized in the period that services are provided. For revenue from product sales, we recognize 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. We defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that we 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

Income taxes are provided based upon the asset and liability method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 we are required to compute deferred income tax assets for net operating losses carried forward. 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 potential benefits of net operating losses ("NOLs") have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

We have an NOL 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 Company 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.

We are current in our filing of federal income tax returns. We believe that the statutes of limitations for its federal income tax returns are open for years after 2004. We are not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

We adopted FASB Interpretation 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", during 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is "more likely than not" that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the "more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on our financial statements.

Our practice is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had no accrued interest or penalties.

Basic and Diluted Losses Per Share

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings Per Share". SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net earnings per share for all periods presented have been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this


method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. All dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted loss per share due to the anti-diluted effect.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for its stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." We recognize 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 September 30, 2008 we issued no shares of our common stock nor did it grant any new options or warrants and no options or warrants were cancelled or exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, there were 2,376,494 warrants and 100,000 options outstanding.

Special Purpose Entities

We do not have any off-balance sheet financing activities.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 financial statements to conform to the 2008 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or cash flows as previously reported.

Recent Pronouncements

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 our adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we elected to use the simplified method to estimate the Company's expected term.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) changes how a reporting enterprise accounts for the acquisition of a business. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) requires an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value, with limited exceptions, and applies to a wider range of transactions or events. SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and early adoption and
