ML CAPITAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
ML Capital Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 22, 2009.
The Company’s business consists of providing consulting services to both public and private companies, concentrating primarily on early stage companies, small businesses and emerging growth companies, with a principal focus on serving companies in the green technology and alternative energy industries. The Company has embarked upon an expansion into developing products and services that are focused on the electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) industry.
The Company is in the development stage, and has not realized significant revenues from its operations.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 31, 2014. Interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year.
Basis of presentation and going concern
The Company is presented as a development stage company. Activities during the development stage include development of the Company’s business plan and the raising of capital. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $380,968 and net cash used in operations of $55,676 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company has total assets of $17,021 and a working capital deficit of $85,365 as of March 31, 2014. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan, raise additional capital, and generate revenues. Management believes that the actions presently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
6
Revenue recognition
Pursuant to the guidance of ASC Topic 605 and ASC Topic 360, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company derived its revenue from consulting service and the revenue is recognized as services are provided. The Company, at times, receives non-marketable securities representing equity in its customers as consideration for services. Because the fair value of these securities is not measureable and the securities are not easily convertible to cash, no revenue is recognized.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the 2014 and 2013 periods include the valuation of stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
Fair value financial instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts payable, accrued expenses and amounts due to related party approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities was determined based on the estimated intrinsic value of the embedded conversion feature which approximates fair value due to the terms of conversion and a modified Black Scholes method incorporating Monte Carlo simulation.
The Company measures its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities, as well as makes related disclosures, in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”).
ASC Topic 820 provides guidance with respect to valuation techniques to be utilized in the determination of fair value of assets and liabilities. Approaches include, (i) the market approach (comparable market prices), (ii) the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and (iii) the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). ASC Topic 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
|
Level 1:
|
Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
Level 2:
|
Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
|
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
|
7
The Company adjusts the derivative liability resulting from the embedded conversion option on its convertible debt to fair value at each balance sheet date. The fair value of the derivate liability is estimated using level 3 inputs. The following tables summarize our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014:

Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50.
Net loss per share of common stock
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive securities consisting of 3,262,050 and 16,667 shares underlying convertible debt for the Three months period ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their impact was antidilutive.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.
NOTE 2 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company’s president from time to time, provides advances to the Company for working capital purposes. At March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the Company had a payable to the president of zero and $6,556, respectively. These advances were due on demand, non-interest bearing and included in due to related party on the accompanying balance sheets.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2014 the president of the Company received compensation of $20,000 in cash compared to zero during the same period in 2013.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements made in this Form 10-Q that are not historical or current facts are forward-looking statements. These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximate” or “continue,” or the negative thereof.
