MARVIN’S PLACE, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008



NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at June 30, 2009, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
 
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2008 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet
established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
 
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS 165, “Subsequent Events”.  This pronouncement establishes standards for accounting for and disclosing subsequent events (events which occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued). FAS 165 requires and entity to disclose the date subsequent events were evaluated and whether that evaluation took place on the date financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FAS 165 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” an amendment of FAS 140. FAS 140 is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets: the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance , and cash flows: and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 166 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. FAS 167 is intended to (1) address the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in FAS 166, and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provided timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 167 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. FAS 168 will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.The Company does not expect the adoption of FAS 168 to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations
 
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, and the other financial information included in this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for stock of Marvin’s Place, Inc., and other matters. Statements in this report that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act. Such forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those relating to the future business prospects, revenues, and income of Marvin’s Place, Inc., wherever they occur, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of the senior management of Marvin’s Place, Inc. on the date on which they were made, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the “Risk Factors” described below, that may affect the operations, performance, development, and results of our business. Because the factors discussed in this report could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

This section must be read in conjunction with the unaudited Financial Statements included in this report.

A.  Management’s Discussion

Marvin’s Place, Inc. ("Marvin" or the "Company"), incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 4, 2007, is a development stage company with the with the principal business objective of becoming a premier franchisor of retail shipping, postal, courier and business service centers by providing a wide range of convenient, value-added business services to consumers, mobile and traveling professionals and the small office/home office market.

The Company was founded based on the need of individuals and companies to have dependable, consistent and professional business service centers where they can obtain a wide variety of benefits such as packaging, shipping, copy and print assistance, mailbox locations, email retrieval, delivery and messenger couriers and convenient office supplies.  It is our goal to become the most dependable, consistent and professional business service center available to the public.  We will recognize that each customer we will serve has different needs, requirements and concerns pertinent to their business.  Our primary customer service goal is to tailor specific solutions to suit each particular customer’s needs and concerns.

We are a small, start-up company that has not generated any revenues and lacks a stable customer base.  Since our inception to the present, we have not generated any significant revenues and have incurred a cumulative net loss as indicated in our financial statements. We believe that the funds expected to be received from the maximum sale of our common equity will be sufficient to finance our efforts to become fully operational and carry us through the next twelve (12) months, of which there can be no guarantee.  We believe that the recurring revenues from sales of services will be sufficient to support ongoing operations. Unfortunately, there can be no assurance that the actual expenses incurred will not materially exceed our estimates or that cash flows from sales of services will be adequate to maintain our business. As a result, our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  If we do not produce sufficient cash flow to support our operations over the next 12 months, we may need to raise additional capital by issuing capital stock in exchange for cash in order to continue as a going concern.  There are no formal or informal agreements to attain such financing.  We cannot assure you that any financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to stay in business.

In the initial approximately twenty-six month operating period from April 11, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2009, the Company generated no revenues while incurring $91,751 in general and administrative expenses. This resulted in a cumulative net loss of $91,751 for the period then ended from inception, which is equivalent to $(0.00) per share.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company generated $0 in revenues while incurring $9,698 in general and administrative expenses.  This resulted in a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $9,698. The net loss for both periods is attributable primarily to the continuing costs of start-up operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $635 in working capital.  The Company’s current assets as of June 30, 2009 consisted of $635 in cash.

B.  Plan of Operation

Marvin’s Place, Inc. was incorporated on April 11, 2007.  As of the date of this document, we have generated no revenues and substantial expenses.  This resulted in a net loss of since inception, which is attributable to general and administrative expenses.

Since incorporation, we have financed our operations through minimal initial capitalization and nominal business activity.

To date we have not implemented fully planned principal operations.  Our ability to commence operations is entirely dependent upon the proceeds to be raised in this offering.  If we do not raise at least the minimum offering amount, we will be unable to establish a base of operations, without which it will be unable to begin to generate any revenues.  The realization of sales revenues in the next 12 months is important in the execution of the plan of operations.  However, we cannot guarantee that it will generate such growth.  If we do not produce sufficient cash flow to support our operations over the next 12 months, we may need to raise additional capital by issuing capital stock in exchange for cash in order to continue as a going concern.  There are no formal or informal agreements to attain such financing.  We cannot assure any investor that, if needed, sufficient financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for operations to continue.

Marvin’s Place, Inc.’s management does not expect to conduct any research and development.

Marvin’s Place, Inc. currently does not own any significant plant or equipment that it would seek to purchase or sell in the near future.

Our management does not anticipate any significant changes in the number of employees in the next 12 months.  Currently, we believe the services provided by our sole officer and director appears sufficient at this time.

We have not paid for expenses on behalf of any director.  Additionally, we believe that this practice will not materially change.

We have no current plans to seek a business combination with another entity.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have not entered into, and do not expect to enter into, financial instruments for trading or hedging purposes.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) as a process designed by or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that is in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in  accordance with authorizations of our management and directors: and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s Internal Control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in this Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Base on our assessment, we believe that, as of June 30, 2009 our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009.  Based on their evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

(b)            Changes in internal controls.

There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
None.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Any investment in our shares of common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report before you decide to invest in our common stock. Each of the following risks may materially and adversely affect our business objective, plan of operation and financial condition. These risks may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, which may cause you to lose all or a part of the money you invested in our common stock. We provide the following cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and possible inaccurate assumptions relevant to our business plan. In addition to other information included in this Quarterly Report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating the Company's business and future prospects.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

THE COMPANY HAS A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND VERY LIMITED RESOURCES

The Company has limited resources and there is significant competition in the target market we intend to enter.

We expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to the Company's. Many of these entities are well established, have extensive experience, possess greater technical, human and other resources than the Company does and the Company's financial resources are limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors.

The Company may be unable to obtain the additional financing that will be required to implement its business strategy.

To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable on terms we deem to be acceptable, we may be unable to become an operating business despite the strategic relationships we created at a cost of substantial dilution to our stockholders. The failure to secure adequate additional financing could also have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of our target business. Neither Management nor our significant stockholders are required to provide any financing to us.

Broad discretion of Management

Any person who invests in our common stock will do so dependent on the broad discretion and judgment of Management in connection with the implementation of our business strategy. There can be no assurance that determinations made by Management will permit us to achieve the Company's business objectives.
 
If the Company is deemed to be an investment company, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to consummate our business objective.

If we are deemed to be an investment company, we would be:

    • restricted in the nature of our investments; and

    • restricted in the issuance of securities, which may make it difficult for us to consummate our business strategy.

In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:

    • registration as an investment company;

    • adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

    • reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.

We do not believe that the Company's is subject it to the Investment Company Act of 1940.


RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

The Company's shares of common stock are subject to quotation on the OTCBB, which limits the liquidity and price of the Company's common stock.

The Company's shares of common stock are subject to quotation on the OTCBB. Quotation of the Company's securities on the OTCBB limits the liquidity and price of the Company's common stock more than if the Company's shares of common stock were listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange. There is currently only a limited trading market in the Company's common stock. In the event that an active trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of the Company's shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.

Our common stock is subject to the Penny Stock Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our common stock is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:

    • that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and

    • the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

    • obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

    • make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
 
    • sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

    • that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

State blue sky registration; potential limitations on resale of the Company's common stock

The holders of the Company's shares of common stock registered under the Exchange Act and those persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that may develop in the future, should be aware that there may be state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell the Company's securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for the Registrant's securities to be limited.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we did not have unregistered sales of equity securities or use of proceeds from registered securities.
