RIVER CAPITAL GROUP, INC.
(a development stage company)
SELECTED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2005
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Note 2 - Going Concern
The Company was a development stage entity through September 30, 2005. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of all liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of September 30, 2005, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $1,390,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005 the Company suffered a loss of $304,735. During the year ended December 31, 2004, and the period ended June 1, 2000 (inception) to September 30, 2005, the Company suffered losses of $778,928 and $1,390,000, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plan to alleviate this going concern issue is to raise capital and merge with a viable operating company. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon management funding operations and merging the Company into a viable operating company and raising sufficient capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 3 - Pending Transaction
On April 27, 2004, the Company entered into an amended letter of agreement with River Capital Limited ("Limited"), whereby the Company would acquire Limited by the issuance of 20,185,820 new common shares of the Company to the stockholders of Limited. These shares would be reduced by the 1,030,000 shares issued in a private placement and the 120,000 shares issued to Redwood and the 20,000 issued to Troutman Saunders for professional services. These shares may be further reduced by 800,000 shares issuable from the conversion of convertible notes and the exercise of warrants (See note 4). Limited, with headquarters in Bermuda, has substantial contacts and experience in the reinsurance industry.
As part of the proposed business plan, Limited has sought registration as a Class 3 insurance company with the Bermuda insurance regulators. Upon obtaining this authority, Limited would merge with or be acquired by the Company and would commence operations as a provider of insurance and reinsurance products and services. The Company changed its name to River Capital Group, Inc. on June 5, 2004, pursuant to the adopted business plan.
7
As of the date of this report Limited had made application to the Bermuda Monetary Authority seeking the incorporation and registration as a Class 3 insurance company of River Reinsurance Limited. This authorization has not been granted as of the date of this report. The Limited has reverted to its original name of Concorde Capital Limited. The proposed transaction has been amended to reflect application to other jurisdictions and the Company has entered into letters of intent, similar in form to the previous letter of intent, between the Company and companies, whose shareholders include an officer and existing shareholders of the Company, regarding the business plan and the proposed establishment of an insurance company or the acquisition of an existing licensed insurance company.
Pursuant to the letters of intent relating to these transactions, the funds raised in the 2003 - 2005 private placements were at the disposal of Limited to satisfy all reasonable expenditures pursuant to the proposed transactions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 a total of $145,352 has been expensed.
Note 4 - Convertible Notes and Warrants
On May 23, 2005, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with several accredited investors (the "Subscribers") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Subscribers agreed to purchase in the aggregate, up to $200,000 principal amount of convertible notes and five-year warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share. A total of $23,280 was ascribed to the warrants, valued at estimated fair market value at the date of the warrants issuance. The resulting discount to the convertible notes will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the convertible notes (one year).
The convertible notes are secured by a security interest in all of the assets of River Capital. The convertible notes include the following terms:
Interest at the greater of (i) the prime rate plus 4% per annum or (ii) 8%, payable quarterly beginning August 1, 2005;
Term of one year, but the note may be prepaid at 120% of the principal only if an insurance license shall have been granted to River Reinsurance Limited and River Reinsurance Limited shall have become a subsidiary of River Capital;
Convertible at any time by the holders into shares of River Capital common stock at a price equal to $0.50; and
Anti-dilution protections.
River Capital has granted a one-time demand registration right to register the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
Note 5 - Related party transactions
Companies owned by two directors receive up to $12,000 per month as management and administrative fees for a total of $108,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. An additional $37,352 was received as reimbursement of direct out of pocket travel and other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. A total of $97,695 was due to these companies as of September 30, 2005.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Forward-looking Statement and Information
The Company is including the following cautionary statement in this Form 10-QSB for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, expectations, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of historical facts. Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The Company's expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable basis, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.
Introduction
For the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company's auditors, in Note 2 of the Financial Statements, have noted that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's existence is dependent upon management funding operations, locating and merging the Company into a viable operating company and raising sufficient capital. At this point in time it is impossible to state an amount of additional funding which we believe would remove the going concern opinion.
The Company does not have any business operations. The Company has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid dividends. The Company is unlikely to realize earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete an acquisition which will be profitable. The Company has entered into letters of agreement for the acquisition of certain companies, but these acquisitions are contingent, among other things, upon an insurance license in a suitable jurisdiction being granted. Even if such registration is obtained, the Company may not be able to finance the acquisition and will have additional needs for working capital and operations.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
Operational expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 of $70,320 and $273,368, respectively, consisted primarily of professional fees necessary to complete certain corporate filings with the SEC. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 operational expenses included professional fees of $15,414 and $218,467, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 operational expenses also included a $48,722 charge related to the Company's agreement to satisfy all reasonable expenses incurred to effect the proposed acquisition of an insurance license in a suitable jurisdiction. For the three months ended September 30, 2004 operational expenses also included a $50,000 charge related to the Company's agreement to satisfy all reasonable expenses incurred to effect the proposed acquisition of an insurance license in a suitable jurisdiction and a non-cash charge of $202,250 relating to the issuance of certain stock for included in professional fees. Interest expense in connection with the $200,000 principal amount of convertible notes and five-year warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share amounted to $9,820 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Accordingly, the Company incurred losses of $80,140 and $273,368 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively.
The loss increased the deficit accumulated during the development stage to $1,390,000 at September 30, 2005.
9
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
Operational expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 of $291,704 and $532,273, respectively, consisted primarily of professional fees necessary to complete certain corporate filings with the SEC. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 operational expenses included professional fees of $144,324 and $262,455, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 operational expenses also included a $145,352 charge related to the Company's agreement to satisfy all reasonable expenses incurred to effect the proposed acquisition of an insurance license in a suitable jurisdiction and a non-cash charge of $89,950 relating to the issuance of certain stock included in professional fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 operational expenses also included a $165,000 charge related to the Company's agreement to satisfy all reasonable expenses incurred to effect the proposed acquisition of an insurance license in a suitable jurisdiction and a non-cash charge of $225,665 relating to the issuance of certain stock for included in professional fees. Interest expense in connection with the $200,000 principal amount of convertible notes and five-year warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share amounted to $13,093 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Accordingly, the Company incurred losses of $304,735 and $532,273 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively.
The loss increased the deficit accumulated during the development stage to $1,390,000 at September 30, 2005.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company intends to fund operations by funds obtained through debt and the private placement of its securities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash used in operating activities was $139,335 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $352,019 for the same period ended September 30, 2004. The primary use of cash from operations in both periods was to fund operations relating to the pending business transaction with River Capital Limited.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $200,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to $136,266 in 2004. In May 2005 we issued $200,000 of convertible notes with 400,000 detachable warrants to purchase our common stock at $.75 per share. In November and December 2003, we sold 760,000 shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share in a private placement. From January 2004 to June 2004, an additional 270,000 shares were sold for gross proceeds of $135,000.
On April 27, 2004, the Company entered into an amended letter of agreement with River Capital Limited ("Limited"), whereby the Company would acquire Limited by the issuance of 20,185,820 new common shares of the Company to the stockholders of Limited. These shares would be reduced by the 1,030,000 shares issued in a private placement and the 120,000 shares issued to Redwood and the 20,000 issued to Troutman Saunders for professional services. These shares may be further reduced by 800,000 shares issuable from the conversion of convertible notes and the exercise of warrants. Limited, with headquarters in Bermuda, has substantial contacts and experience in the reinsurance industry.
As part of the proposed business plan, Limited has sought registration as a Class 3 insurance company with the Bermuda insurance regulators. Upon obtaining this authority, Limited would merge with or be acquired by the Company and would commence operations as a provider of insurance and reinsurance products and services. The Company changed its name to River Capital Group, Inc. on June 5, 2004, pursuant to the adopted business plan.
10
As of the date of this report Limited had made application to the Bermuda Monetary Authority seeking the incorporation and registration as a Class 3 insurance company of River Reinsurance Limited. This authorization has not been granted as of the date of this report. Limited has reverted to its original name of Concorde Capital Limited.

Our present intentions are to sell debt or equity securities.

Our accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, which were included in our Form 10-KSB as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As discussed in Note 2, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such difference may be material to our financial statements. We believe that the following discussion addresses our Critical Accounting Policies.
Accounting for Contingencies - We accrue for contingencies in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," when it is probable that a liability or loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Contingencies by their nature relate to uncertainties that require our exercise of judgment both in assessing whether or not a liability or loss has been incurred and estimating the amount of probable loss.
We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No.109. Since we are in the development stage our deferred tax assets are not expected to be utilized in the future. We have provided a full valuation allowance against the assets.
Since the Company is in the development stage and is pursuing a merger with an operating entity, it is unknown what accounting policies it will need to apply.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
The Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2005 (the "Evaluation Date"). Such evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and its Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). Based upon such evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
