NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED 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. The Company has embarked upon an expansion into developing products and services that are focused on the electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) industry.
On May 27, 2014 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary Superstar Products, LLC to facilitate the importation and sale of 3 in 1 vaporized pens. During the period ended September 30, 2014 there was no activity in the subsidiary.
In April 2015, the Company’s board of directors approved a 1 for 4,000 reverse stock split. The number of shares of common stock has been adjusted to reflect the split for all periods presented.
On February 27, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to the authority granted it in Section 1 of Article II of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, designated 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock and authorized and instructed the Company’s officers to file the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Preferred Stock with the Nevada Secretary of State.
Further, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock to Ms. Lisa Nelson, the Company’s President. Each Series A Preferred Share has voting rights of 10,000 votes per share. The Series A Preferred Stock are not convertible into the shares of the Company’s Common Stock and are not entitled to be paid any dividends. No sinking fund is required to be established for the retirement or repurchase of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Company has the right, with the approval of the holder, to repurchase all or any portion of the Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $0.00001 per share. Further, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock does not hold any registration rights.
All of the Series A Preferred Shares were offered and sold to Ms. Nelson as restricted securities pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Ms. Nelson agreed that she was acquiring the Series A Preferred Shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to a distribution.
The Company did not use or employ any FINRA-registered broker-dealer or any other intermediary in connection with the offering and issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares to Ms. Nelson and the Company did not receive any proceeds from their issuance. The Series A Preferred Shares were issued solely as compensation for services rendered to the Company by Ms. Nelson.

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 consolidated 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 April 2, 2015. Interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year.
Going concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $356,407 and net cash used in operations of $107,396 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company has total assets of $50,231 and a working capital deficit of $1,106,013 as of March 31, 2015. 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.
Presentation
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this ASU allows the Company to remove the inception to date information and all references to development stage.
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 recognizes revenue from product sales during the period in which the product is delivered, which is generally at the at the point of sale.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost of market using the first-in; first-out (FIFO) cost method of accounting.
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 2015 and 2014 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.
Fixed assets
Fixed Assets are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Cost of acquisition is inclusive of taxes, duties, freight, installation and allocated incidental expenditure during construction/ acquisition.
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 six broad levels. The following is a brief description of those six 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.
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, 2015:

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 2,952,705 and 3,587 shares underlying convertible debt warrants for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because their impact was antidilutive. Potentially dilutive securities consist of:
