RIVER CAPITAL GROUP, INC.

(a development stage company)



SELECTED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

March 31, 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 Article 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 three-month period ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2005, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $1,224,378.  During the three months ended March 31, 2005 the Company suffered a loss of $139,113.  During the year ended December 31, 2004, and the period ended June 1, 2000 (inception) to March 31, 2005, the Company suffered losses of $778,928 and $1,224,378, 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 will acquire Limited by issuance of 20,185,820 new common shares of the Company to the stockholders of Limited. These shares will be reduced by the 1,030,000 shares issued in the latest private placement and the 120,000 shares issued to Redwood. 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 will merge with or be acquired by the Company and will 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 has 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 proposed transaction may be amended to reflect application to other jurisdictions.



Pursuant to the letter of intent relating to this transaction, the funds raised in the private placement will be at the disposal of Limited to satisfy all reasonable expenditures pursuant to the merger. The Company is providing up to $20,000 a month to cover these expenses.  For the three months ended March 31, 2005 a total of $47,169 has been expensed.





Note 4  Stockholders equity



During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the registrant issued 30,000 shares of its common stock as compensation for consulting services to three designees of Redwood Grove Capital Management, LLC. A charge of $84,750 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2005, valued at fair market value, in connection with this transaction.  The registrant relied upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2), as the recipients were deemed to be sophisticated with regard to an investment in the registrant.





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 $34,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. An additional $13,169 was received as reimbursement of expenses for the three months ended March 31, 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 3 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, as the Company is inactive at this time.



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 a letter of agreement for the

8



---

acquisition of River Capital Limited, but that acquisition is contingent, among other things, upon a Bermuda subsidiary obtaining registration as a Class 3 insurance company with the Bermuda insurance authorities.  Even if such registration is obtained, the Company may not be able to finance the acquisition and additional needs for working capital and operations.





THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004



Operational expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004 of $139,135 and $129,201, respectively, consisted primarily of professional fees necessary to complete certain corporate filings with the SEC.  For the three months ended March 31, 2005 operational expenses also included a $47,169 charge related to the Company's agreement to satisfy all reasonable expenses incurred to effect the proposed acquisition of River Capital and a non-cash charge of $84,750 relating to the issuance of certain stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2004 operational expenses also included a $60,000 charge related to the Company's agreement to satisfy all reasonable expenses incurred to effect the proposed acquisition of River Capital. Accordingly, the Company incurred losses of $139,113 and $129,201 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively.



The loss increased the deficit accumulated during the development stage to $1,224,378 at March 31, 2005.



PLAN OF OPERATION



The Company intends to fund operations by funds obtained through the private placement of its securities.





LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES





Net cash used in operating activities was $40,895 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $169,787 for the same period ended March 31, 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 $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to $46,266 in 2004.  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 November 10, 2003, the Company entered into a letter of agreement with River Capital Limited, a Bermuda corporation, providing for the acquisition of River Capital by the Company by the exchange of the Companys shares for the shares of River Capital Limited.  River Capital, with headquarters in Bermuda, has substantial contacts and experience in the reinsurance industry.  As of the date of this report, River Capital has made application to the Bermuda Monetary Authority seeking registration as a Class 3 insurance company with the Bermuda insurance authorities.  Upon obtaining this authority and raising at least $1.5 million for the proposed operations, the Company will complete the acquisition of River Capital. Our present intentions are to sell debt or equity securities.





Critical Accounting Policies



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 March 31, 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.
