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 $944,570 and a negative cash flow from operations of $888,529 and as September 30, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $943,463 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $3,130,387. 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.

	(B)	Use of Estimates

		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.

	(C)	Loss per Share

		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.

	(E)	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.

Note 3 – Related Party Transactions

	Revolving Note “A” issued on January 5, 2006

		For the period ended June 30, 2008 the company renegotiated the maturity date from February 20, 2008 to December 15, 2008. The balance at September 30, 2008 was $206,662 ($132,235 in principal and $74,427 in accrued interest).

	The Company utilizes space in Milwaukee, Wisconsin owned by an entity controlled by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. 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.

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.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report of Form 10-Q, including this discussion and analysis by management, contains or incorporates forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact made in report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” anticipates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other variations or similar words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied herein are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, included herewith. 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 $944,570 and a negative cash flow from operations of $888,529 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. In the three months ended September 30, 2008, the company had no revenue. 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. During the three months ending September 30, 2008, the company has been focusing on selling condos on the vessel. With this focus, the Company has experienced a significant increase in its advertising costs.

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 is due to decrease in operating expenses of the Pacific Aurora.

Other Income (Expenses): Other Income (Expenses) was ($173,627) for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and Other Income (Expenses) was $9,199 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had an increase in expenses of $182,466. For the three months ending September 30, 2008, the Company incurred additional loan service fees and additional interest expense due to the increasing in borrowing from related parties and Greystone.

Net Loss: Net loss was $466,179 and $378,143 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in net loss is attributed to sales tax credit that the Company received 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.

The decrease of $297,963 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. Additionally, the Company had payroll forgiveness of $171,667 due to an officer waiving a portion of their accrued payroll.

Professional Fees: Professional fees were $167,053 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $165,235 for the nine months ended June 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. 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

Selling Expenses: Selling expenses were $60,331 and $765 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. During the nine months ending September 30, 2008, the company has been focusing on selling condos on the vessel. With this focus, the Company has experienced a significant increase in its advertising costs.

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 was due to a decrease in operating expenses of the Pacific Aurora.

Other Income (Expenses): Other Income (Expenses) was ($311,651) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and Other Income (Expenses) was ($150,051) for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Other income (expenses) decreased by $161,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The difference is primarily due an increase in interest expense of $123,839 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Net Loss: Net loss was $944,570 and $882,723 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributed the debt forgiveness income and the increase in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had a negative cash flow from operations of $888,529 compared to a negative cash flow of $446,809 as of September 30, 2007, an increase in the negative cash flow of $441,720. 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 $944,570 compared to a net loss of $882,723 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase in the net loss of $61,847.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the majority of the officers waived their payroll as of March 1, 2008 and will continue to do so until the Company has sustainable revenues.

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.

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.

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.
