Valde Connections, Inc.



Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations



Overview



Valde Connections, Inc. (formerly JDLPhotos.com, Inc.), since the Company's inception, has had insufficient revenues to support operations. On January 20, 2003, the Board of Directors determined to alter the business direction from retail sales of matted and framed photographs (JDLPhots.com, Inc.) to providing services, sales and marketing in the hair salon, spa and modeling industries (Valde Connections, Inc.). Management is currently in the process of determining the organization and infrastructure necessary to pursue the Company's new business direction, as well as completing and finalizing the Valde Connections' business plan. The company is finalizing an agreement to operate a salon and day spa inside the Main Street Inn, located in Hilton Head South Carolina.

Inherent in the Companys business are various risks and uncertainties, including its limited operating scale and its lack of operating history.  The Companys future success will be dependent upon its ability to provide effective and competitive products, its ability to develop and provide new services or products that meet customers changing requirements, and its ability to use leading technologies to influence and respond to emerging industry standards on a timely and cost-effective basis.



Financial Condition and Results of Operations



Valde Connections, Inc. has sustained operational losses since its inception. Principal funding during the prior two fiscal years was primarily through the receipt of proceeds of $115,000 from a private offering concluded at fiscal year-end 2001. Cash and cash equivalents at fiscal year-end were $14,303.

Valde Connections, Inc. will require additional funding to establish the corporate organization and infrastructure; and to complete the corporation's business plan to address the hair salon, spa and modeling industries. The source of such additional funding may be through an additional offering of Valde Connections' equity securities or such other means as may be determined by the Board of Directors.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



For the fiscal years ending December 31, 2001 and 2002; the Company experienced operating losses of $33,157 and $73,433, respectively. Gross profits for these periods were $70,569 and $69,657, respectively; offset by operating expenses of $103,726 and $143,090, respectively, to result in the operating losses previously stated.

The Company's cash position in fiscal 2001 increased by $75,980 from $2,859 to result in cash at the end of the period in the amount of $78,839. The primary source of funds during this period resulted from proceeds of $115,000 from a private offering concluding at fiscal 2001 year-end.

The Company's cash position in fiscal 2002 decreased by $64,536 to $14,303. Net cash used in operating activities during this period totaled $63,000.

The Company has limited capital with which to pursue its business plan.  There can be no assurance that the Companys future operations will be significant and profitable, or that the Company will have sufficient resources to meet its objectives

Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Description of organization



Through January 20, 2003, JDLPhotos.com, Inc. (referred to as the Company) was a retailer of matted and framed photographs located in Longmont, Colorado.  Photographs were sold at art shows and via the Internet.  On January 20, 2003, the Company transferred its business back to its majority shareholder and underwent a change in control (see Note 6).

Effective February 10, 2003, the Company changed its name from JDLPhotos.com, Inc. to Valde Connections, Inc. The Company has developed a new business plan; however, it has limited capital with which to pursue its business plan.  There can be no assurance that the Companys future operations will be significant and profitable, or that the Company will have sufficient resources to meet its objectives.

Inherent in the Companys business are various risks and uncertainties, including its limited operating scale and its lack of operating history.  The Companys future success will be dependent upon its ability to provide effective and competitive products, its ability to develop and provide new services or products that meet customers changing requirements, and its ability to use leading technologies to influence and respond to emerging industry standards on a timely and cost-effective basis.



Use of estimates



The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities; disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.



Merchandise inventories



Merchandise inventories consist of supplies and matted and framed photographs and are valued at the lower of cost (average cost) or market.



Property, equipment and depreciation



Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed, for financial reporting purposes, over the estimated useful life of the assets using the straight-line method:





|Office equipment      | 3 years 
|--------------------- | --------
|Furniture             | 10 years
|Photography equipment | 5 years 



Intangible assets



Intangible assets consist of the software development costs related to the Companys web site.  The cost of developing and implementing its web site and related software is expensed until the Company has determined that the web site and related software will result in probable future economic benefits and management has committed to funding the project.  Thereafter, all direct external implementation costs and purchased software costs are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful lives, not exceeding three years, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-2 (EITF 00-2), Accounting for Web Site Development Costs.





---







Deferred offering costs



Costs associated with its common stock offering, consisting of legal, accounting and printing costs were deferred until the offering was completed at which time the costs were offset against the offering proceeds.



Impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles



The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  Statement No. 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying amount.   If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.



Revenue recognition



Revenue, derived principally from the sale of framed and unframed original photographs, is recognized when the photograph is delivered.  The Company offers a full refund, less shipping and handling, to dissatisfied customers for a period of one year from date of purchase.  There is no allowance for customer returns recorded in the accompanying financial statements, as a refund has never been claimed.



Income taxes



The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount on the financial statements. Deferred tax amounts are determined by using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted law.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.



Stock-based compensation



The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123) which permits the use of either a fair value based method or permits the continued use of the intrinsic value method as defined in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25).  Companies that elect to continue to apply the method provided in APB 25 are required to disclose the pro forma net income and earnings per share that would have resulted from the use of the fair value based method.  The Company has elected to continue to determine the value of the stock-based compensation arrangements under the provisions of APB 25.  However, there was no effect on net loss or loss per share.  Accordingly, the pro forma disclosures required under SFAS 123 are not provided.

Note 2  Related Party Transactions



The Company accrued compensation to the President at $3,000 per month between January and June of 2001 and began to pay a cash salary to the President in July 2001. The accrued compensation by its President totaling $18,000 was offset by receivables in the amount of $7,774 and $3,917 owed to the Company by the President from prior years. The President also paid certain administrative expenses on behalf of the Company, of which $2,346 was owed to the President at December 31, 2002.  As of December 31, 2002, the Company owed the President a total of $8,655 for unpaid compensation and expense reimbursements. This amount is included in the accompanying financial statements as indebtedness to related party at December 31, 2002.

For all periods presented, the Company rented space from the President (sole shareholder in 1999) and paid associated utilities expense and property taxes. These expenses totaled $4,843 and $4,445, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

An officer of the Company provided services to the Company at no charge from January 1, 2001 through May 20, 2001.  The fair value of the services was determined to be 4,666.  The accompanying financial statements reflect a charge to operations and a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital in the amount of $-0- and $4,666, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, to recognize the value of the services.  These charges are included in general and administrative expenses.

During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company received $-0- and $2,500, respectively, in bridge financing from the President and an officer in exchange for promissory notes.  The Company also owed the officers an additional $18,000 for bridge financing received in prior years.  Bridge financing was provided to offset costs of the Companys proposed common stock offering (See Note 5) and was expected to be repaid from its proceeds. The notes, plus accrued interest, were due on the closing date of the Companys common stock offering, December 1, 2001.  Interest on the bridge financing totaled $-0- and $1,169, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.  The Company paid off all outstanding notes and accrued interest to the President and the officer prior to December 31, 2001.

On March 15, 2000, the Company entered into a License Agreement with its President and sole shareholder (the Licensor). The Licensor granted the Company the exclusive right and license, not including the right to sublicense to others, to use the transparencies of the Licensor to create prints for retail sale and distribution.  In exchange, the Licensor will receive a royalty of ten percent of net revenue for each increment of $200,000 realized by the Company annually from the sale of prints created from the transparencies.  The Agreement has an initial term of five years and may be renewed by the Company for a second five-year period upon approval by the Licensor. The net revenue in 2002 and 2001 did not exceed $200,000. No royalty expense has been accrued.

Note 4  Income Taxes



A reconciliation of U.S. the statutory federal income tax rate to the effective rate is as follows for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001:





|                                              |                    | For the Years Ended
|--------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | -------------------
|                                              |                    | December 31,       
|                                              |                    | 2002               
|                                              |                    |                    
|U.S. statutory federal rate, graduated        |                    | 17.85%             
|State income tax rate, net of federal benefit |                    | 3.80%              
|Permanet book-to-tax differences              |                    | 0.00%              
|Net operating loss carry forward              |                    | -21.65%            
|                                              | Effective tax rate | 0.00%              



At December 31, 2002, the Companys current tax benefit consisted of a net tax asset of $20,065, due to operating loss carryforwards of $95,455, which was fully allowed for, in the valuation allowance of $20,065.  The valuation allowance results in deferred tax expense, which offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery.  The changes in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 totaled $15,867 and $5,593, respectively.  Net operating loss carryforwards will expire through 2022.

The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will be realized.  At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax asset is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.

Should the Company undergo an ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Companys tax net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation which could reduce or defer the utilization of those losses.



Note 5 -Shareholder's Equity
