ML CAPITAL GROUP, INC.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

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 principal business is focused on providing financial consulting services. 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 S-1/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 26, 2013. Interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 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 $85,835 and net cash used in operations of $14,485 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The Company has no assets and working capital deficit of $36,282 as of March 31, 2013. 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.

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 are 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 2013 and 2012 periods include the valuation of stock-based compensation.

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 market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

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. The Company had no common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period from September 22, 2009 (inception) through March 31, 2013.

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, provided advances to the Company for working capital purposes. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had a payable to the president of $24,207 and $9,842, respectively. These advances are due on demand, non-interest bearing and included in due to related party on the accompanying balance sheets.

During the years 2009 to 2012, the Company utilized office space of an affiliate.

NOTE 3 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

On June 7, 2012, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement with Morgan Wells Inc. Pursuant to the convertible promissory note agreement, the Company issued a note in the principal amount of $5,000. The note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due on December 7, 2012. The note is in default. The Holder shall have the right from time to time to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of this note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The conversion price shall be the lesser of $0.001 or 75% of the lowest closing market price for the Company’s stock during the previous 20 trading days.

In accordance with ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging, Embedded Derivatives”, the Company determined that the conversion feature of the convertible note did not meet the criteria of an embedded derivative and therefore the conversion feature was not bi-furcated and accounted for as a derivative. Since the Company is a private company, there is no quoted price and no active market for the Company’s common stock and any common shares issued upon conversion are not readily convertible to cash since the market cannot rapidly absorb the quantity held.

Since the convertible note includes an embedded conversion feature that does not qualify to be bi-furcated as a derivative, management evaluated this feature to determine whether it meets the definition of a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) within the scope of ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The note holder shall have the option to exchange all or a portion of the face amount of the note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of .001 or 75% of the lowest closing market price for the Company’s stock during the previous 20 trading days. In accordance with ASC 470-20 which deals with instruments containing a conversion feature, the Company estimated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature to be $5,000, and recorded it as a note discount which was amortized over the term of the convertible note. The discount was fully amortized upon maturity in December, 2012.

NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

On March 8, 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock to two directors (250,000 shares each) for services rendered. The Company valued these common shares at $0.30 per common share based on the sale of common stock in a private placement at $0.30 per common share.

NOTE 5 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On May 15, 2013 the Company issued a convertible note for a principal amount of $6,500. The note bears an interest rate of six percent and matures on November 15, 2013. The note is convertible, by the holder, into common stock at $0.0065 per share.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

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. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management’s best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are the following: the Company’s ability to obtain necessary capital, the Company’s ability to successfully consummate future acquisitions and such other risk factors identified from time to time in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those filed with this Form 10-Q quarterly report. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

The expenses related to the compensation and professional fees. The decrease in expenses in the period ended March 31, 2013 over the same period in 2012 is due primary to the decrease in compensation in the 2013 compared 2012.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was $85,835 compared to $153,985 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and $1,644,607 for the period from inception through March 31, 2013. The Company has negative working capital of $36,282 as of March 31, 2013.
