Item 1.       Financial Statements.

Introduction to Interim Financial Statements.

         The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by
Golden River Resources Corporation ("Golden River Resources" or the "Company")
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Certain information and footnote
disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant
to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008.

         The 2007 financial statements have been restated to reflect certain
adjustments resulting from the valuation of the Company's stock option grants
(refer to Note 2).

         In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments and consolidating entries, necessary to present fairly the
financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008, the
results of its operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2008
and September 30, 2007, and the changes in its cash flows for the three month
periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, have been included. The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results for the full year.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those
estimates.

         UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED,  ALL FINANCIAL  INFORMATION PRESENTED IS IN
AUSTRALIAN DOLLARS.

                                                                               2

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               September 30, 2008

(1) Organisation
    ------------

         Golden River Resources Corporation ("Golden River Resources"), formerly
Bay  Resources  Ltd, is  incorporated  in the State of Delaware.  The  principal
shareholders  of Golden River  Resources  are  companies  associated  with Mr JI
Gutnick  and Mrs S  Gutnick.  These  companies  owned  77.48%  of  Golden  River
Resources as of September 30, 2008.  During fiscal 1998,  Golden River Resources
incorporated  a  further  subsidiary,  Baynex.com  Pty  Ltd,  under  the laws of
Australia.  Baynex.com Pty Ltd has not traded since incorporation. On August 21,
2000,  Golden River Resources  incorporated a new wholly owned  subsidiary,  Bay
Resources  (Asia)  Pty  Ltd,  a  corporation  incorporated  under  the  laws  of
Australia.  In May 2002, the Company incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary,
Golden Bull Resources  Corporation  (formerly 4075251 Canada Inc), a corporation
incorporated  under the laws of Canada.  Golden Bull  Resources  Corporation  is
undertaking  exploration  activities  for gold in  Canada.  On  March  8,  2006,
shareholders  approved  the  change  of  the  Company's  name  to  Golden  River
Resources.

(2) Adjustments and Restatement of Financial Statements
    ---------------------------------------------------

         The financial  statements for the three months ended September 30, 2007
have been restated to revise the Company's estimated fair value of certain stock
option grants.

         In October 2006, the Company granted  4,650,000 options under the Stock
Option Plan to the Company's  officers,  directors and consultants.  The Company
utilized  the  services  of an  external  valuer to  determine  the value of the
options using the binomial  option pricing model.  At the time, the market price
used in the binomial  option  pricing model was US$0.166  which was based on the
price that the Company had been able to conclude a private  placement and at the
time  believed  this to be the fair  value of the  shares of common  stock.  The
Company has now  determined  the market price  (US$0.30) of the shares of common
stock at the time of the issue of  options  as quoted on the OTCBB  should  have
been used in the binomial option pricing model.  The effect of the adjustment is
an  increase  in  Stock-Based  Compensation  expense in the three  months  ended
September 30, 2007 by approximately A$56,000.

         In October 2004, the Company granted 1,400,000 options under the Stock
Option Plan to the Company's officers, directors and consultants. The Company
has recorded an adjustment to the estimated fair value of these options based
upon a revision to the original volatility rate used in the fair value
calculation. The effect of the adjustment is an increase in the opening retained
earnings (deficit) at July 1, 2006 and additional paid-in capital by
approximately A$1.1 million. Such adjustment had no effect on total
stockholders' equity or the Company's cashflows, and has also been reflected in
the 2005 and 2006 statement of stockholders' equity included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

         The effects of the above adjustments are as follows :

(3)   Affiliate Transactions
      ----------------------

         Golden River Resources advances to and receives advances from various
affiliates. All advances between consolidated affiliates are eliminated on
consolidation.

         Included in payables at September 30, 2008 was A$716,126 due to AXIS.
During the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 AXIS advanced Golden
River Resources A$77,000 and A$nil respectively, provided services in accordance
with the service agreement of A$46,549 and A$136,450 respectively and
advanced/reimbursed AXIS A$30,500 and A$192,500 respectively for outstanding
amounts, including carried forward outstanding amounts. During the three months
ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 AXIS did not charge interest. AXIS is
affiliated through common management and ownership.

(4)   Recent Accounting Pronouncements
      --------------------------------

         In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure
assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 provides a common definition of fair value
and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS No. 157 also
requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which
fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and
assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on
earnings. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued in fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for interim periods within those
fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued Staff Position No. 157-2
"Effective date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP FAS 157-2"). FSP FAS 157-2
delayed the effective date of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except for items that are recognised or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a recurring basis ( at least annually). The
provisions of FSP FAS 157-2 are effective for the Company's fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2009. The adoption of this interpretation has not and is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's future reported financial
position or results of operations.

         In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115", which permits companies to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. The provisions of FAS 159 are
effective for the Company's fiscal year which commenced July 1, 2008. The
adoption of FAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position, results or operations or cash flows.

         In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "Business
Combinations" ("SFAS 141(R)"), which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) requires
assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, contingent
consideration, and certain acquired contingencies to be measured at their fair
values as of the date of acquisition. SFAS 141(R) also requires that
acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs be recognized separately from
the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008 and will be effective for business combinations entered
into by the Company after July 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the
potential impact of adopting this statement on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

         In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB No. 51"
("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 clarifies the accounting for noncontrolling interests and
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary, including classification as a component of equity. SFAS 160 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does
not currently have any minority interests.

         In March 2008, the FASB issued FSAB Statement No. 161 "Disclosure about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB statements
No. 133 ( "FAS 161") which provides revised guidance for enhanced disclosures
about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FAS 133, and how
derivative instruments and the related hedged items affect and entity's
financial position, financial performance and cash flows. FAS 161 is effective
for the Company's fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.
The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments and is not
involved in any hedging activities.

                                                                              10
<PAGE>

         In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162 "The Hierarchy of Generally
Acceptable Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 identifies the sources
of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be
used in the preparation of financial statements of non-governmental entities
that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States. This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC's
approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles". Although the Company will continue to evaluate
the application of SFAS 162, the Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS
162 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

(5)   Comprehensive Income (Loss)
      ---------------------------

         The Company follows SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 requires a company to report comprehensive income (loss)
and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income
(loss) is the change in equity during a period from transactions and other
events and circumstances from non-owner sources, such as unrealized gains
(losses) on foreign currency translation adjustments. Changes in unrealized
foreign currency gains or (losses) during the three months to September 30, 2008
and 2007 amounted to A$2,000 and A$(6,586) respectively. Accordingly,
comprehensive loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
amounted to A$(201,000) and A$(354,000) respectively.

(6)   Going Concern
      -------------

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate
continuation of Golden River Resources as a going concern. Golden River
Resources is in the exploration stage, has sustained recurring losses which
raises substantial doubts as to its ability to continue as a going concern.

         In addition Golden River Resources has historically relied on loans and
advances from corporations affiliated with the President of Golden River
Resources. Based on discussions with these affiliate companies, Golden River
Resources believes this source of funding will continue to be available. Other
than the arrangements noted above, Golden River Resources has not confirmed any
other arrangement for ongoing funding. As a result Golden River Resources may be
required to raise funds by additional debt or equity offerings in order to meet
its cash flow requirements during the forthcoming year.

         The accumulated deficit of the Company from inception through September
30, 2008 amounted to A$37,311,000 of which A$10,910,000 has been accumulated
from July 2002, the date the Company entered the Exploration Stage, through
September 30, 2008.

(7)   Income Taxes
      ------------

         Golden River Resources should have carried forward losses of
approximately US$37.1 million as of June 30, 2008 which will expire in the year
2009 through 2028. Golden River Resources will need to file tax returns for
those years having losses on which returns have not been filed to establish the
tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards. Due to the uncertainty of
the availability and future utilization of those operating loss carry forwards,
management has provided a full valuation against the related tax benefit.

(8)   Issue of Options under Stock Option Plan
      ----------------------------------------

         The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No.123(R), Share-Based
payment, which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in
which a company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity
instruments of that company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value
of the company's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of
such equity instruments.

                                                                              11
<PAGE>

         The Company has accounted for all options issued based upon their fair
market value using either the Black Scholes or Binomial option pricing method.
Prior to 2006, the Company used the Black Scholes option pricing method to
determine the fair market value of options issued. In 2006, the Company changed
from using the Black Scholes option pricing method to the Binomial option
pricing model. The Binomial option pricing model breaks down the time to
expiration into a number of steps or intervals and can therefore be used to
value American style options, taking into account the possibility of early
exercise and reflect changing inputs over time. The options issued in 2006 have
three vesting periods and therefore, the Company believed the Binomial option
pricing model is a more accurate measure of the fair value of the options.

         In October 2004, the Board of Directors and Remuneration Committee of
the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan and agreed to issue 1,400,000 options to
acquire shares of common stock in the Company, at an exercise price of US$1.00
per option, subject to shareholder approval which was subsequently received on
January 27, 2005. All such options were vested by July 2006. The exercise price
of US$1.00 was derived from the issue price of common stock from the placement
of shares on September 30, 2004 and is considered by the Company's Directors to
be the fair value of the common stock. The options expire on October 15, 2014.

         The Company calculated the fair value of the 1,400,000 options using
the Black Scholes valuation method using a fair value share price of US$1.00,
strike price of US$1.00, maturity period of 5 years 7 1/2 months, risk free
interest rate of 5.15% and volatility of 20%. This equates to a value of US31.85
cents per option. The total value of the options equates to A$1,744,800
(US$1,352,820) and such amount was amortized over the vesting period. At
September 30, 2008, the options were fully vested.

         Since the issue of the options,  600,000 options have lapsed  following
the termination of participants to the issue.

         A summary of the options outstanding and exercisable at September 30,
2008 are as follows:

                                    Outstanding              Exercisable
Number of options                       800,000                  800,000
Exercise price                          US$1.00                  US$1.00
Expiration date                October 15, 2014         October 15, 2014

         On October 19, 2006, the Directors of the Company agreed to offer a
further 4,650,000 options under the Stock Option Plan. The options have no issue
price, an exercise price of US30.84 cents, and a latest exercise date of October
19, 2016. The options vest 1/3 on October 19, 2007 ("T1"), 1/3 on October 19,
2008 ("T2") and 1/3 on October 19, 2009 ("T3"). The Company obtained an external
valuation on the options from an unrelated third party.

         The Company, through an unrelated third party consultant, has
calculated the fair value of the 4,650,000 options using the binomial option
pricing model using a fair value share price of US$0.30, exercise price of
US30.84 cents, expected life T1 - 5 years 6 months, T2 - 6 years, T3 - 6 years 6
months, risk-free interest rate of 4.75% and volatility of 90%. The total value
of the options equates to A$1,406,287 (US$1,060,200) and is being amortised over
the vesting periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the
amortization amounted to A$86,487 and no options were forfeited. At September
30, 2008, the remaining value of the unamortized deferred compensation of these
4,050,000 outstanding options amounted to A$157,025.

         Since the issue of the options,  600,000 options have lapsed  following
the termination of participants to the issue.
                                                                              12

         A summary of the options outstanding and exercisable at September 30,
2008 are as follows:

                                     Outstanding              Exercisable

(9)   Loss per share
      --------------

         Basic (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share has not
been presented as the effects of common stock equivalents are anti-dilutive. The
Company has on issue 10,000,000 special warrants which are exercisable at any
time until expiration and for no consideration. However, there is a restriction
in the subscription agreement that does not allow the Company to process a
warrant exercise notice if the holder (and its associates) would hold more than
9.99% of the shares of common stock unless the holder provides the Company with
61 days prior notice in which case the holder can exercise the entire 10,000,000
warrants. Accordingly, the Company has included 10,000,000 shares issuable by
exercise of the special warrants in the weighted number of common equivalent
shares outstanding.

Earnings per share

         The Company  calculates loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share".

         The following table reconciles the weighted average shares outstanding
used for the computation:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>

         The options to purchase 4,850,000 shares of common stock are not
included in the earnings per share computation as such amounts would be
anti-dilutive.

(10)  Contingent Liability
      --------------------

         The Company has received an invoice from a corporation that conducted
the pegging of the claims in Canada on behalf of the Company. A number of claims
that were pegged were not ultimately issued to the Company due to a number of
errors by the pegging company. The Company had advised the pegging company that
it does not believe any further payments are due to the pegging company as a
result of the economic loss incurred by Golden River Resources. The Company
believes that if it is unsuccessful in defending any claim that is brought
against it, the maximum potential liability is CDN$59,000 (A$66,218). No accrued
liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statement pending the
ultimate disposition of this matter.

(11)  Commitments
      -----------

         In June 2008, the Company agreed on terms with Tahera Diamond
Corporation to obtain full control of the mining properties that are listed in
the Tahera/GRR agreement through the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common
stock and the payment of CDN$86,000. The CDN$86,000 was paid prior to June 30,
2008. The issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock has not been brought to
account in the financial statements as the final agreements have not yet been
executed.

                                                                              13

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

FUND COSTS CONVERSION

         The consolidated statements of operations and other financial and
operating data contained elsewhere here in and the consolidated balance sheets
and financial results have been reflected in Australian dollars unless otherwise
stated.

         The following table shows the average rate of exchange of the
Australian dollar as compared to the US dollar and Canadian dollar during the
periods indicated:

         3 months ended September 30, 2007 A$1.00 = US$.7893
         3 months ended September 30, 2008 A$1.00 = US$.9178
         3 months ended September 30, 2007 A$1.00 = CDN$.9207
         3 months ended September 30, 2008 A$1.00 = CDN$.9390

RESULTS OF OPERATION

Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2007.

         Costs and expenses decreased from A$339,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 2007 to A$195,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2008.
The Company's financial statements are prepared in Australian dollars (A$). A
number of the costs and expenses of the Company are incurred in US$ and CDN$ and
the conversion of these costs to A$ means that the comparison of the three
months ended September 30, 2008 to the three months ended September 30, 2007
does not always present a true comparison.

         The decrease in costs and expenses is a net result of:

     a)  An increase in legal, accounting and professional expense from A$17,000
         for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to A$40,000 for the three
         months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of costs
         associated with the Company's SEC compliance obligations.

     b)  a decrease in administrative costs including salaries from A$137,000 in
         the three months ended September 30, 2007 to A$26,000 in the three
         months ended September 30, 2008, primarily as a result of a decrease in
         the cost of services provided by AXIS in accordance with the service
         agreement.

     c)  a decrease in the exploration expenditure expense from A$75,000 for the
         three months ended September 30, 2007 to A$43,000 for the three months
         ended September 30, 2008. The costs related to consultants providing
         exploration reviews and advice. No field work was undertaken during the
         quarters ended September 30, 2007 or 2008.

     d)  a decrease in stock based compensation from A$110,000 for the three
         months ended September 30, 2007 to A$86,000 for the three months ended
         September 30, 2008 as a result of a decrease in the number of options
         outstanding combined with a number of options being fully expensed
         prior to the current period. See Note 6 concerning the Company's
         outstanding stock options.

         As a result of the foregoing, the loss from operations decreased from
A$339,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 to A$195,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2008.

         The Company recorded a foreign currency exchange loss of A$8,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to a foreign currency
exchange loss of A$6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

         The net loss was A$203,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2008 compared to a net loss of A$346,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2007.

                                                                              14

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         For the three months ended September 30, 2008, net cash from operating
activities was A$25,000 primarily consisting of the net loss of A$203,000;
offset by a decrease in receivables of A$16,000, an increase in accounts payable
and accrued expenses of A$118,000 and an increase in stock based compensation of
A$86,000.

         As of September 30, 2008 the Company had short-term obligations of
A$827,000 comprising accounts payable and accrued expenses.

         We have A$25,000 in cash at September 30, 2008.

         During fiscal 2004 and 2005, we undertook a field exploration program
on our Committee Bay and Slave Properties. In relation to the Committee Bay
Properties, this was more than the minimum required expenditure and as a result,
we do not have a legal obligation to undertake further exploration on those
properties during their life. However our properties are prospective for gold
and other minerals. We undertook further exploration in August 2006 on the Slave
Properties and we spent A$502,000 on such exploration activities in fiscal 2007
and to date A$93,000 in fiscal 2008 for maintenance cost. We are currently
investigating capital raising opportunities which may be in the form of either
equity or debt, to provide funding for working capital purposes and future
exploration programs. There can be no assurance that such a capital raising will
be successful, or that even if an offer of financing is received by the Company,
it is on terms acceptable to the Company.

financial results. Actual results may differ as a result of factors over which
the Company has no control including, without limitation, the risks of
exploration and development stage projects, political risks of development in
foreign countries, risks associated with environmental and other regulatory
matters, mining risks and competition and the volatility of gold and copper
prices, movements in the foreign exchange rate and the availability of
additional financing for the Company. Additional information which could affect
the Company's financial results is included in the Company's Form 10-KSB on file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                                                                              15

Item 3.       Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

         At September 30, 2008, the Company had no outstanding loan facilities.
At September 30, 2008, assuming no change in the cash at bank, a 10% change in
the A$ versus US$ exchange rate would have a nil effect on the Company's cash
position.

Item 4.       Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

         Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that
evaluation, such principal executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded that, the Company's disclosure control and procedures were effective
as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

         No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred
during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.

(c) Other

         We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and
operated, can not provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls
system, no matter how well designed and operated, can not provide absolute
assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

                                                                              16
