The quarterly report of Marine Growth Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”), for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008, filed on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 12, 2008, is hereby amended to provide amended financial statements and financial statement disclosure.
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
This Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q gives effect to the correction in our financial statements of an error in our previous filing that resulted in the incorrect treatment of approximately $1,036,594. The Company had not recorded an impairment charge of $864,926 and it had incorrectly stated $171,677 of APIC as other income. The accompanying financial statements have been restated for this error. In addition, the Company has received comments from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection this and certain other reports that it has filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Securities Act of 1933. The aforementioned error arose from our consideration of these comments. In addition, certain disclosures have been enhanced as a result of our consideration of the comments. We intend to fully respond to, and properly address, all comments received. While we believe this amendment embodies all comments and suggestions by the Staff, they have not approved our filings and, accordingly, additional changes may be required.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2008 (Unadudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Operations and Going Concern
Marine Growth Ventures, Inc. (“MGV”) was formed and incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 6, 2003. MGV is a holding company that conducts its operations primarily through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sophlex Ship Management, Inc. (“Sophlex”). MGV, Sophlex and MGV’s other subsidiaries are referred to collectively herein as the “Company”.
The Company had no significant business operations until its acquisition of Sophlex on September 1, 2004. Sophlex, which was founded in 1999, provides ship crewing and management services to vessel owners and operators in the United States and abroad. The founder and the sole shareholder of Sophlex at the time of the acquisition is the current Chief Operating Officer of the Company. At the time acquisition both companies were private entities.
The Company is currently pursuing additional opportunities with the vessel, Pacific Aurora which it purchased in 2007. The Company is working with a maritime lodging company in order to sell condos on the vessel that will take weekend tours of the surrounding Pacific coastline. Purchasers may live aboard full-time, cruise only on weekends, rent out their condos as investment income, or any combination which suits their individual purposes.
In addition, the Company is pursuing other opportunities in the shipping industry.
Since its inception, the Company has been dependent upon the proceeds of loans from its stockholders and the receipt of capital investments to fund its continuing activities. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception. The Company expects to incur significant increasing operating losses over the next several years, primarily due to the expansion of its business. There is no assurance that the Company’s developmental and marketing efforts will be successful. The Company will continue to require the infusion of capital or loans until operations become profitable. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever achieve any revenues or profitable operations from the sale of its proposed products. The Company is seeking additional capital at this time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company had a net loss of $1,981,163 and a negative cash flow from operations of $670,475 and as September 30, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,808,389 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,995,313. As a result of the above, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
| (A) | Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Marine Growth Ventures, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Marine Growth Finance & Charter, Inc., Inc., Sophlex Ship Management, Inc., Marine Growth Freight, Inc., Marine Aggregates, Inc., Gulf Casino Cruises, Inc., Ship Timeshare Management, Inc., Marine Growth Canada, Ltd., Fractional Marine, Inc., Cruiseship Share Owners Association, Inc. and Pacific Aurora Cruise Association, Inc. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Net loss per share (basic and diluted) has been computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalents were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as there were none outstanding during the periods presented as well as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
| (D) | Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2008 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair representation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. The consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year end December 31, 2007 appearing in Form 10K-SB filed on April 11, 2008.
The long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is performed by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company recorded an impairment charge on the Babe in the amount of $864,926 for the three months ending September 30, 2009. $300,000 was for the approximately cost of disposal for the Babe. The remaining $564,926 was for the impairment of the fair market value of the Babe.
| (F) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In the opinion of management, there are no recent accounting pronouncements that will have a material effect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The fair market value of this rent is $250 per month and is recorded as $1500 rent expense and a corresponding related party liability for the six month ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. On September 30, 2008, this debt was forgiven and converted into additional paid in capital.
The Company utilizes employees of an entity controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The value of the work done by the employees of the entity controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Directors equated to $5,438 during the three months ending September 30, 2008. These services and a corresponding related party liability was recorded. On September 30, 2008, this debt was forgiven and converted into additional paid in capital.

Note 5 – Greystone Business Credit II, LLC
In June, 2008, Greystone Business Credit II and the Company agreed for Greystone Business Credit II to make additional advances to the Company under the Loan to increase the aggregate loans outstanding thereunder up to the following; (i) the lesser of 72.5% of the appraised fair market value of the yacht Aurora (net of appraisal, documentation and other related expenses) or (ii) $3,200,000. This money is to be used to repay the monies owed with respect to Revolving Note A. Any remaining unfunded availability may be used as working capital. The Company is required to pay interest only on all obligations owing under the Loan until October 15, 2008 at which time it begins amortization of the loan principal over forty-eight months. In addition, all net time-share revenues generated by the Pacific Aurora shall be applied as mandatory prepayments to reduce principal on such loan pursuant to the release prices agreed upon by Greystone Business Credit and the Company. The Note bears interest at a rate of 2.25%, plus the prime interest rate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company was funded an additional $1,197,021 on the Pacific Aurora. As of September 30, 2008, the balance on this loan was $2,567,224.

Note 6 – Restatements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been restated for the matters discussed below. All associated footnote disclosures have been revised for the matters giving rise to the financial statement restatements. In addition, certain of our footnotes have been augmented to provide expanded information about certain transactions and accounting therefore.
Impairment of Vessel
The Company had not recorded an impairment charge on the vessel the “Babe”. These financials have been corrected to record an impairment charge $864,926 on the Babe recognized as a result of the evaluation of the fair market value of the vessel in the amount of $564,926 and the approximately costs to dispose of it accordingly in the amount of $300,000.
Reclassification of forgiven payroll
The Company had deducted accrued payroll of $241,667, incurred $171,677 of payroll forgiveness and $69,900 in APIC as the result of an officer of exchanging $241,667 worth of accrued payroll for 100,000 shares of common stock. These financials have been corrected to state that the Company reported $241,577 in additional paid in capital and $100 in common stock on the financials as a result of the officer completing this exchange. The stock was valued based on the five day average trading value of the stock on the date of the exchange.
The following schedule illustrates the effects on the account classifications resulting from the above restatements:

This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.
Background
We were formed and incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 6, 2003. We are a holding company and conduct our current operations solely through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Sophlex Ship Management, Inc. (“Sophlex”).
We had no significant business operations until our acquisition of Sophlex on September 1, 2004. Sophlex, which was founded in 1999, provides ship crewing and management services to vessel owners and operators in the United States and abroad. Our Chief Operating Officer was the founder and the sole shareholder of Sophlex prior to the acquisition.
We are also currently pursuing additional opportunities with the vessel, Pacific Aurora which it purchased in 2007. The Company is working with a maritime lodging company in order to sell condos on the vessel that will take weekend tours of the surrounding Pacific coastline. Purchasers may live aboard full-time, cruise only on weekends, rent out their condos as investment income, or any combination which suits their individual purposes.
With respect to the vessel Babe, our intention is not to operate the vessel, but to find a purchaser.
Results of Operations
Since our inception, we have been dependent upon the proceeds of loans from our stockholders and the receipt of capital investment to fund our continuing activities. We have incurred operating losses since our inception. We expect to incur significant increasing operating losses over the next several years, primarily due to the expansion of our business. We will continue to require the infusion of capital until operations become profitable. Presently, we have no commitments to provide such capital. We had a net loss of $1,981,163 and a negative cash flow from operations of $607,475 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:
Revenue: Revenue was $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $6,000 earned in the three months ended September 30, 2007.

The Company began marketing sales on the condos on the vessel in July, 2009 and plans to have sales beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Payroll and Related Expenses: Payroll and related expenses were $40,757 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $89,610 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The decrease of $48,853 was due to the majority of the officers waiving their payroll as of March 1, 2008 and will continue to do so until the Company has sustainable revenues.
Professional Fees: Professional fees were $67,981 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $82,962 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The net decrease of $14,981 is primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees of $44,882 and an increase of legal and accounting fees of $27,161in the three months ended September 30, 2008.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $49,666 and $27,841 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased by $33,825 in the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007. This increase is mainly due to the increase in travel. The Company is now is working with a maritime lodging company in order to sell condos on the vessel that will take weekend tours of the surrounding Pacific coastline.
Selling Expenses: Selling expenses were $57,765 and ($54) for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively.

With this focus, the Company has experienced a significant increase in its advertising costs.
Impairment of Vessel: Impairment charges were $864,926 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The remaining $564,926 was for the impairment of the fair market value of the Babe.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses were $76,744 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $192,983 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Operating expenses decreased by $116,238 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease can be attributed to a decrease in crew-related expenses and supplies for the Pacific Aurora. The decrease is due to cost incurred in 2007 for setting up the ship and training of the crew. In 2008 we only maintained a skeleton crew. In 2008 we incurred a one-time inspection fee from our lender of $35,985. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the majority of the expenses were as follows: ship insurance was $14,644, inspection fees were $38,853, and crew-related expenses were $15,894.

For the three months ending September 30, 2008, the Company incurred additional loan service fees and additional interest expense due to the increase in borrowing from related parties and Greystone. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company applied for a refund of the sales tax paid on the purchase of the Pacific Aurora in the amount of $81,770 and this refund was approved in September, 2007 by the Canadian government.
Net Loss: Net loss was $1,502,772 and $378,143 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in net loss is primarily attributed to impairment charges in the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007:
Revenue: Revenue was $12,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $82,308 earned in the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Professional fees are consistent with prior periods. However, the Company was pursuing opportunities in a new industry referred to as cruise timeshares, which combines traditional real estate timeshares with commercial cruise vacations. The Company is now is working with a maritime lodging company in order to sell condos on the vessel that will take weekend tours of the surrounding Pacific coastline. This change in focus will require the continued investment in professional fees.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $91,418 and $71,017 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. General and administrative expenses decreased by $20,401 in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This increase is primarily due to the increase in travel of $17,165.

Cost of Sales: Cost of sales were $128,125 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The increase in this expense was due to the charter hire agreement for the Babe.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses were $229,578 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $311,586 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This decrease of $82,008 is attributable to decrease in supplies, crew and crew training in 2007. We are presently only maintaining a skeleton crew on the Pacific Aurora. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 we incurred a one-time inspection free from our lender of $35,985.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have been dependent upon proceeds of loans from our stockholders and receipt of capital investment to fund our continuing activities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had a net loss of $1,981,163 compared to a net loss of $882,723 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase in the net loss of $1,098,440.

For the period ended September 30, 2008, the company renegotiated the maturity date from February 20, 2008 to December 15, 2008 on Revolving Note “A” issued on January 5, 2006. The balance at September 30, 2008 was $206,662 ($132,325 in principal and $74,427 in accrued interest). $496,000 was paid down from the proceeds from the June 12 Modification Agreement with Greystone Business Credit II.
In June, 2008, Greystone Business Credit II and the Company agreed for Greystone Business Credit II to make additional advances to the Company under the Loan to increase the aggregate loans outstanding thereunder up to the following; (i) the lesser of 72.5% of the appraised fair market value of the yacht Aurora (net of appraisal, documentation and other related expenses) or (ii) $3,200,000. This money is to be used to repay the monies owed with respect to Revolving Note A. Any remaining unfunded availability may be used as working capital. The Company is required to pay interest only on all obligations owing under the Loan until October 15, 2008 at which time it begins amortization of the loan principal over forty-eight months. In addition, all net time-share revenues generated by the Pacific Aurora shall be applied as mandatory prepayments to reduce principal on such loan pursuant to the release prices agreed upon by Greystone Business Credit and the Company. The Note bears interest at a rate of 2.25%, plus the prime interest rate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company was funded an additional $1,197,021 on the Pacific Aurora. As of September 30, 2008, the balance on this loan was $2,567,224.
The Modification Letter also provides for the extinguishment of the bareboat lease of the yacht Babe between Lender and Fractional on July 1, 2008 and for the Company to purchase the Babe for the purchase price of $2,289,926. The Company is required to pay interest only on all obligations owing under the Loan until October 15, 2008 at which time principal will be amortized over forty-eight months. The Note bears interest at a rate of 2.25%, plus the prime interest rate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company was funded an additional $60,076 for the Babe. As of September 30, 2008 the balance on this loan was $2,350,002.
The Company increased the availability on the Revolving Note “B” issued on August 1, 2007, to $750,000. The balance at September 30, 2008 was $620,872 ($573,950 in principal and $46,877 in accrued interest)
We currently do not have sufficient cash reserves to meet all of our anticipated obligations for the next twelve months and there can be no assurance that we will ultimately close on the necessary financing. In addition to any third-party financing we may obtain, we currently expect that loans from our stockholders may be a continuing source of liquidity to fund our operations. Accordingly, we will need to seek funding in the near future. In view of the forgoing, there are no assurances that we can or will continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional funds through debt and equity funding as well as from sales of various services. The Company expects to begin condo sales in the 1st quarter of 2009, which is expected to produce positive income and cash flow for the company. However, we cannot be assured that there will be buyers interest in acquiring the condos or the volume or timing of such sales, or any. With these sales the Company anticipates that it will become less reliant on short-term financing. All sales generated from any activities by the company and its subsidiaries are required to repay the Greystone debt first. The Company will need to continue to look for additional financing to fund its working capital needs.”
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Policies
Going Concern:
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional funds through debt and equity funding as well as from sales of various services. The Company has been actively marketing the sale of the condos and expects to continue doing so in the 1st quarter of 2009, which is expected to produce positive income and cash flow for the company. With these sales the Company anticipates that it will become less reliant on short-term financing.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes ship management and consulting revenue when earned. At the time of the transaction, the Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether collectibility is reasonably assured. If a significant portion of a fee is due after the normal payment terms, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company recognizes revenue as the fees become due. Where the Company provides a service at a specific point in time and there are no remaining obligations, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the service. The Company recognizes charter revenue on the first of the month when the fee is billed.
