Alto Group Holdings Inc.
(an Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
February 28, 2009
(Unaudited)

Potential benefits of income taxes are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. At February 28, 2009, the Company has a net operating loss carry-forward of $69,032 which expires $3,372 in 2027, $55,089 in 2028 and $10,571 in 2029. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

Current United States income tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

This section of this report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

Plan of Operation

We are a start-up, exploration stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business activities.

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. Our success or failure will be determined by what we find under the ground.

To meet our need for cash we must raise money in order to operate. If we find mineralized material and it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material, we will have to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans. We do not have enough money to conduct exploration activities on the property. Currently we have to find alternative sources of capital, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our sole officer or others.

Our sole officer and director may be unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any money except to cover expenses relating to reclamation if materialized material is not found at this time. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. If we can't raise additional money, we will cease activities entirely.

We have the right to conduct exploration activities on one property. Even if we complete our current exploration program and it is successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve.

We will be conducting research in the form of exploration of the property subject to receipt of additional capital. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of this report. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months. We will not buy any equipment until have located a reserve and we have determined it is economical to extract the minerals from the land.


 
-10-
 

We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves.

We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the property will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.

We intend to seek alternative opportunities in order to potentially enhance shareholder value.  Management intends to review other potential assets for acquisition.

Results of Operations

We completed our private placement and raised $39,600.  Since then, we have conducted no operations and exhausted all of our money.

Milestones

The milestones are as follows:

1. Raise additional capital.

2. Retain our consultant to manage the exploration of the property. - Maximum cost of $5,000. Time of retention 0-90 days.

3. Trenching. Trenching will cost approximately $14,000 and will be conducted by unrelated subcontractors.  Trenching includes grid installation, metal detection, sample collecting and shipping the samples for testing.

4. Have an independent third party analyze the samples.  We estimate that it will cost $2,000 to analyze the samples and will take 30 days.

We have no money at the present time and cannot operate until we raise additional capital.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from activities. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business activities. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.


 
-11-
 

To become profitable and competitive, we have to conduct research and exploration of the property before we start production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking additional equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our research and exploration phases.

We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have issued 9,960,000 shares of  our common stock and received $45,600.

As of the date of this report, we appear to be insolvent and it appears we do not have capital to operate, but our president will be injecting more funds into the Company to keep it operational.

In September 2007,  we issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and director, Tareq Hinawy, pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933.  The purchase price of the shares was $6,000.  This was accounted for as an acquisition of shares.  Tareq Hinawy covered some of our initial expenses for incorporation documents, administrative costs, and courier costs.  The amount owed to Mr. Hinawy  is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.  Further the agreement with Mr. Hinawy is oral and there is no written document evidencing the agreement.

In December 2007, we issued 3,960,000 shares of common stock to 44 individuals in consideration of $39,600.

As of February 28, 2009, our total assets were $1,906 and our total liabilities were $25,338.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An amendment of ARB No. 51”.SFAS 160 requires companies with noncontrolling interests to disclose such interests clearly as a portion of equity but separate from the parent’s equity.  The noncontrolling interest’s portion of net income must also be clearly presented on the Income Statement.  SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.


 
-12-
 

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141,(revised 2007), “Business Combinations”.  SFAS 141 (R) applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations established in SFAS 141 to all acquisitions where the acquirer gains a controlling interest, regardless of whether consideration was exchanged.  Consistent with SFAS 141, SFAS 141 (R) requires the acquirer to fair value the assets and liabilities of the acquiree and record goodwill on bargain purchases, with main difference the application to all acquisitions where control is achieved.  SFAS 141 (R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future 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”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined whether it will elect the fair value option for any of its financial instruments.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 ("SFAS 161"), "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's future financial position or results of operations.
