These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors", that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms "we", "us", "our company", and "Marley" mean Marley Coffee Inc., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Business History
Marley was incorporated on September 27, 2004 under its former name “Global Electronic Recovery Corp.” Our resident agent is Empire Stock Transfer of Nevada located at 2470 Saint Rose Parkway, Suite 304 Henderson, Nevada. Prior to the February 25, 2008, we were engaged in the recycling of electronic waste in the city of Los Angeles, California. We commenced limited operations including a feasibility study and the search for an appropriate facility location. We also joined various recycling organizations to assist in the marketing of our recycling facility. As our management conducted due diligence on the electronic waste recycling industry, management realized that this industry did not present the best opportunity for our company to realize value for our shareholders. In an effort to substantiate shareholder value, Marley Coffee then sought to identify, evaluate and investigate various companies and compatible or alternative business opportunities with the intent that, should the opportunity arise, a new business be pursued.
On February 5, 2008 we incorporated a subsidiary named Marley Coffee Inc. On February 25, 2008 we changed our name from” Global Electronic Recovery Corp." to "Marley Coffee Inc." when we merged our subsidiary, Marley Coffee Inc., into our company. Our common stock will be quoted on the NASD Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the new symbol "MYCF" effective at the opening of the market on March 7, 2008.
Properties
Effective February 15, 2008 Marley Coffee entered into a lease agreement for 52 acres of coffee farmland in the Jamaican Blue Mountains. The term is eight years and has an annual lease payment of $1,000.
The farm is located at Chepstowe,Skibo in Portland, Jamaica. The farm is spread out over 52 acres of land. Currently only 12 acres have been identified for coffee production but this will be increased but to a maximum of 30 acres to preserve ecological diversity. Due to the altitude and geographic location of the land on which the farm is located, the coffee produced can be classified as “Blue Mountain Coffee.”
Current Business Operations
Marley Coffee
-2-
In February 2008, we decided to pursue the business of premium roasted coffee to take advantage of the consumer awareness and significant trend toward packaged ground premium and super premium coffees with new Marley Coffee branded entries to the category. We also intend to develop a share of the category and create a leadership position by capitalizing on the success of the Marley name and franchise while using Jamaican Blue Mountain as the flagship item. In addition, we intend to use this opportunity to take advantage of this strong increase in consumer demand by stepping forward and combining name, music and quality coffees to generate interest.
We also intend to produce our own premium organic coffee on the farmland we lease in the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica. Our goal is to manage the Marley Coffee Farm in manner that ensures economic viability, optimal yields and unrivaled product quality while maintaining the environmental integrity of the ecosystem incompliance with international organic standards.
To achieve our objectives, we will do the following:
| 1. | Develop and implement a sustainable fertility management program compliant with international organic standards. |
| 2. | Develop and implement a sustainable pest management program compliant with international organic standards. |
| 3. | Continually review and adjust the installed system for the management of our human and financial resources |
| 4. | Continue the resuscitation of existing coffee trees and restoration of location-specific optimal planting density |
| 5. | Conduct research into sustainable organic agronomic practices and novel marketable coffee blends |
| 6. | Identify and outsource suitable local pulping and roasting facilities with the intent to construct and install washing, pulping and roasting mechanism that is compliant to international organic standards on site. |
| 7. | Identify and facilitate the sale of secondary cash crops on the local market |
Our administrative office is located at 375 South Fairfax Avenue Suite #321, Los Angeles California, USA 90036, telephone (323) 316-3456 and our registered statutory office is located at 2470 Saint Rose Parkway, Suite 304 Henderson, Nevada 89074. Our fiscal year end is January 31.
Product Research and Development
We do not anticipate that we will expend any significant funds on research and development over the twelve months ending April 30, 2010.
Employees
Currently, we have 5 employees other than our officers. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. We have not entered into any employment agreements with any of our executives. We anticipate that we will enter into employment agreements without officers when, and if, our revenue production justifies such agreements. We do not currently anticipate that we will hire any employees in the next three months, unless we successfully raise funds necessary to implement our business plan. From time-to-time, we anticipate that we will also use the services of independent contractors and consultants to support our business development. We believe our future success depends in large part upon the continued service of our senior management personnel and our ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel.
Purchase or Sale of Equipment
We did not purchase any equipment for the farm we lease in Jamaica during the current fiscal period.

RISK FACTORS
Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.
We have no operating history and have maintained losses since inception that we expect to continue into the future. If the losses continue we may go out of business. We have no assets, no experience in the proposed line of business, certifications, current customers, or negotiations or agreements with any processing centers or refurbishes
We were incorporated in September 27, 2004 and only just recently began commencing a new business plan. We have only just completed our business plan to grow and roast our own and third party organic coffee. We have not realized any revenues to date. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. There is a net loss since inception of $315,417 and also an accumulated deficit of $315,417. We expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future; therefore, we may not be able to achieve profitable operations and we may not even be able to generate any revenues. We will encounter difficulties as an early stage company in the rapidly evolving and highly marketed recycling end of life electronic industry. Therefore, the revenue and income potential of our business model is unproven.
We face substantial competition from established and new companies in our industry. If we are unable to compete with these companies our proposed business will fail.
We face intense competition from established coffee growers and roasters. We may not be able to compete effectively with these companies now or in the future. Many of our potential competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, technical and other competitive resources, as well as greater name recognition, than we have. As a result, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes in consumer requirements or may be able to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their services. We may not be able to compete successfully with our potential and existing competitors. In addition, competition could increase if new companies enter the market or if existing competitors expand their services. An increase in competition could result in price reductions and loss of market share and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. To be competitive we will need to continue to invest in sales and marketing. We may not have sufficient resources to make such investments necessary to remain competitive. In addition, current and potential competitors have established or may in the future establish collaborative relationships among themselves or with third parties, including third parties with whom we have relationships, to increase the visibility and utility of their services. Accordingly, new competitors or alliances may emerge and rapidly acquire significant market share. If we are unable to compete with companies in end of life electronic services industry, our proposed business will fail and you will lose your entire investment.
We depend on our key personnel to manage our business effectively in a rapidly changing market. If we are unable to retain our key employees, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.
Our future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, efforts and continued services of our executive officers and other key sales, marketing and support personnel who have critical industry experience and relationships. If we were to lose the services of one or more of our key executive officers and senior management members, we may not be able to grow our business as we expect, and our ability to compete could be harmed, adversely affecting our business and prospects.
-4-
Changes in the government regulation of our coffee farm could harm our business.
Our coffee products are subject to foreign government regulation by the Jamaican Coffee Board and international regulatory bodies. These regulatory bodies could enact regulations which affect our products or the service providers which distribute our products, such as limiting the scope of the service providers' market, capping fees for services provided by them or imposing coffee quality control standards which impact our products.
If we are unable to obtain organic certification, our business may be impaired.
It is proposed that we obtain organic certification for our leased farmland in Jamaica from the certifying agency Certification of Environmental Standards (CERES). If we are unable to obtain certification we may be forced to grown on-organic coffee on our property. This may impair our business plan and force us buy from third party sources.
We need to continue as a going concern if our business is to succeed, if we do not we will go out of business.
Our independent accountant's report to our audited financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2008 indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are our accumulated deficit since inception, our failure to attain profitable operations and our dependence upon adequate financing to pay our liabilities. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investments.
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended exploration of the property, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. As of April 30, 2009 we had cash in the amount of $375. We currently have minimal operations and we have no income.
Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the development of our coffee property. We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once coffee production is complete. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for copper, silver and gold, investor acceptance of our property and general market conditions. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders.
Because we have commenced limited business operations, we face a high risk of business failure.
We have only just recently commenced operations Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on September 27, 2004 and have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of our mineral property. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this document. Prior to completion of our coffee production stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any significant revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
We lack an operating history and we expect to have losses in the future.
We have not started our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon the following:
| · | Our ability to operate a profitable coffee farm; |
| · | Our ability to generate revenues; and |
| · | Our ability to reduce farming and marketing costs. |
-5-
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the development of our coffee property. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's Penny Stock Regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends.
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors.
Our By-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officer and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.
Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officer and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgement, actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgement in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one of our directors or officer.
Plan of Operations - Next 12 Months
We have commenced limited operations, and have generated no revenue to date. We are still a development stage corporation.
Over the next twelve months we intend to use funds to commence marketing our service, leasehold improvements and for general and administrative expenditures, as follows:

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal capital resources have been through issuance of common stock and shareholder loans.
At April 30, 2009, there was negative working capital of $31,339.
At April 30, 2009, our total assets were $83,811, which consisted of cash of $375 and property of $83,436.
At April 30, 2009, our total current liabilities were $31,714.
For the three months ended April 30, 2009, we incurred expenditures of $21,313 and posted losses of $21,313. For the three months ending April 30, 2008, we incurred expenditures of $20,842 and posted losses of $20,842. From inception to April 30, 2009, we incurred losses of $315,417. The principal components of the losses since inception through April 30, 2009 were administrative and farm expenses.
At April 30, 2009, we had cash on hand of $375 We will require additional financing before we generate significant revenues. We intend to raise the capital required to meet any additional needs through sales of our securities in secondary offerings or private placements. We have no agreements in place to do this at this time.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial statements. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies.
