NOTES TO THE CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
February 28, 2011
 
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS & BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Fresh Start Private Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on November 1, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada and extra-provincially registered under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on January 11, 2007. The Company is in the initial exploration stage and was organized to engage in the business of natural resource exploration in the Province of British Columbia.
 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s November 30, 2010 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the periods ended February 28, 2011 and the same period last year are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
 
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
 
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. As of February 28, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $139,303, and if the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
 
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 3 - DUE TO RELATED PARTY
 
The Company has received $36,238 (2009 - $36,238) as a loan from a related party. The loan is payable on demand and non – interest bearing.
 
NOTE 4 - LOANS PAYABLE
 
At February 28, 2011 the Company has received a loan of $23,580 (Cdn$25,000) (2009 - $22,831) from a third party for the purposes of funding its operations. The loan has  no set date for repayment, is non-interest bearing, non-secured and is payable on demand; accordingly fair value cannot be reliably determined.
 
On January 15, 2010 the Company received a loan of $12,100 plus accrued interest of $490 from a third party for the purpose of funding its operations. The loan has  no set date for repayment, bears interest of 4% per annum, is non-secured and is payable on demand; accordingly fair value cannot be reliably determined.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
 
OVERVIEW
 
Fresh Start Private Holdings, Inc. (formerly River Exploration, Inc.) ("River Exploration" the "Company," "we," "us") is an exploration stage company, incorporated on November 1, 2006, in the State of Nevada, to engage in the business of natural resource exploration in the Province of British Columbia.
 
The Company did not generate any revenue during the quarter ended February 28, 2011.
 
Total expenses in the quarter ended February 28, 2011 were $7,746 resulting in an operating loss for the fiscal quarter of $7,746. The operating loss for the period is a result of professional fees in the amount of $7,625, office and general in the amount of $121.
 
As of February 28, 2011 the Director has advanced $36,238 to the Company and the Company has obtained loans of $36,170 to maintain its operations.
 
As at the quarter ended February 28, 2011 the Company had $511 of cash.
 
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues since inception and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. Accordingly we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of minerals found on our property. Our only other source of cash at this time is advances from our officer and director and investments by others through loans or sale of our common equity.
 
We anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from financing activities will be insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months. We expect to incur exploration and administrative expenses as well as professional fees and other expenses associated with maintaining our SEC filings. We will require additional funds during this time and will seek to raise the necessary additional capital. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our exploration activities, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
 
PLAN OF OPERATION
 
The Company initially optioned the mineral title to the Pretty Girl, New Chum, Venus, Beauty, Old Chum, Minnie Ha Ha Fr., Delos, Calamity Jane, Trojan, Horse, Ass and Burro claims (totaling 53 units) registered collectively as the Pretty Girl 3 and Pretty Girl 4 claims located in the Invermere area, British Columbia, Canada. Effective June 30, 2009 the company has allowed the option on Pretty Girl 3 and Pretty Girl 4 claims to lapse and no longer has an interest in exploring these claims.
 
The Company was unsuccessful in negotiating an option on a mineral deposit in China. Over the next 12 months we will continue to seek options on mineral deposits. These planned activities will be dependent on our ability to raise additional funds. We also expect to spend an additional $15,000 on administration and office expenses.
 
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
 
We do not anticipate hiring any employees.
 
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
As of the date of this quarterly report, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to continue operations. The cost to maintain the Company and begin operations has been estimated at $75,800 over the next twelve months and the cost of maintaining its reporting status is estimated to be $15,000 over the same period. Our officer and director, Mr. Aird has undertaken to provide the Company with operating capital to sustain our business over the next twelve month period, as the expenses are incurred, in the form of a non-secured loan. However, there is no contract in place or written agreement securing this undertaking. Management believes if the Company cannot raise sufficient revenues or maintain our reporting status with the SEC we will have to cease all efforts directed towards the Company. As such, any investment previously made would be lost in its entirety.
 
There are no other off-balance sheet arrangements currently contemplated by management or in place that are reasonably likely to have future effect on the business, financial condition, revenue, or expenses and/or result of operations.
 
ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As of February 28, 2011 management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, our Principle Executive Officer who also serves as our Principle Financial Officer concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company's management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of May 11, 2010 and communicated to our management.
 
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an affect on the Company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in material misstatement in its financial statements in future periods.
 
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to the Company: i) Appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and ii) Preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
 
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the company may encounter in the future. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
 
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended February 28, 2011 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
