CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of Business and History of Company
 
Don Marcos Trading Co. (“the Company”) is a development stage enterprise incorporated on May 11, 1999 in the state of Florida. The Company has had no significant operations since its inception. The Company’s activities have been mainly organizational, with only $288 of sales.
 
The Company is the sole importer and distributor of Don Marcos coffee.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The interim financial statements of Don Marcos Trading Co. are condensed and do not include some of the information necessary to obtain a complete understanding of the financial data.  Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included in the unaudited financial statements for the interim period presented.  Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Accordingly, your attention is directed to footnote disclosures found in the December 31, 2007 Annual Report and particularly to Note 1, which includes a summary of 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.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Fair value of financial instruments
 
For certain of the Company’s instruments, including cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)

 
NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Net Loss Per Share
 
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with FASB 128, any anti-dilutive effects on net income (loss) per share are excluded.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when shipment of product to the customer has been made, which is when title passes. The Company estimates and records provisions for rebates, sales returns and allowances in the period the sale is recorded. Shipping and handling charges are included in gross sales, with the related costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.  Inventories are adjusted for estimated obsolescence and written down to net realizable value based upon estimates of future demand, technology developments, and market conditions.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
Effective November 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment: An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and 95” using the modified prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost is recognized on or after the effective date for the portion of outstanding awards, for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered, based on the grant date fair value of those awards. For stock-based awards issued on or after November 1, 2005, the Company recognizes the compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Measurement and attribution of compensation cost for awards that are unvested as of the effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) are based on the same estimate of the grant-date or modification-date fair value and the same attribution method used previously under SFAS No. 12.

NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Development Stage Enterprise
 
The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7. The Company’s planned principal operations have not commenced, and accordingly, only nominal revenue has been derived during this period.
   
NOTE 2
GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
 
The Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through stockholder contribution to the Company and issuance of common stock. The Company may raise additional funding to continue its operations through contributions from the current shareholders and stock issuance to other investors.
 
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to recover the value of its assets or satisfy its liabilities.
   
NOTE 3
COMMON STOCK
 
The Company effected a 1:5 forward split of the stock in February 2007. All per share amounts and number of shares outstanding have been retroactively restated for this adjustment.
 
On March 14, 2007, the Company offered a private placement of 16,400,000 shares of common stock, no par value, with an aggregate value of $82,000.
 
The Company effected a 1:10 forward split of the stock on March 30, 2007. All per share amounts and number of shares outstanding have been retroactively restated for this adjustment.
 
On April 1, 2008, the Company sold 2,400,000 shares of its common stock, no par value, with an aggregate value of $12,000, to three officers of the company.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Report.
 
Overview
 
We were incorporated on May 11, 1999 in the state of Florida to be the sole importer and distributor of Don Marcos® Coffee.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  In consultation with our Board of Directors, we have identified several accounting principles that we believe are key to understanding of our financial statements.  These important accounting policies require management's most difficult, subjective judgments.
 
Development Stage Enterprise
 
We are a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7. Our planned principal operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, only nominal revenue has been derived during the period.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of 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 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.
 
Net Loss Per Share
 
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with FASB 128, any anti-dilutive effects on net income (loss) per share are excluded.
 
9

 
Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method), or market.  Inventories are adjusted for estimated obsolescence and written down to net realizable value based upon estimates of future demand, technology developments, and market conditions.
 
Stock Issued for Non-Cash Transactions
 
It is our policy to value stock issued for non-cash transactions, such as services, at the fair market value of the goods or services received or the consideration granted, whichever is more readily determinable, at the date the transaction is negotiated.
 
There were no shares of common stock issued for services during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
 
Going Concern
 
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to locate sources of capital, and attain future profitable operations. Our management is currently initiating their business plan. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
We adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”), under the modified-prospective transition method on January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R requires companies to measure and recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair-value. Share-based compensation recognized under the modified-prospective transition method of SFAS No. 123R includes share-based compensation based on the grant-date fair-value determined in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, for all share-based payments granted prior to and not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 and share-based compensation based on the grant-date fair-value determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for the award of these instruments under the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and allowed under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we accounted for our stock option plans using the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations.
 
Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to employees.  We measure stock-based compensation cost at grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and recognizes the cost as expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the employee requisite service period.  We estimate the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes valuation model.  The expense is recorded in operating expenses in the condensed statements of operations.

Results of Operations

You should read the selected financial data set forth below along with our discussion and our financial statements and the related notes.  We have derived the financial data from our unaudited financial statements.  We believe the financial data shown in the table below include all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of such information.  Operating results for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future.

Net Loss

Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to the Three Months ended September 30, 2007 (unaudited)

Revenues
 
There was revenue from operations in the amount of $288 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  There were no revenues from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Our total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 were $11,983 compared to $25,218 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  Our expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were primarily for legal and accounting fees associated with our public company reporting requirements.
 
Impact of Inflation
 
We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on our operations over the past three years.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures and have no fixed expenses.
 
Working capital is summarized and compared as follows:

   
September 30, 2008
   
September 30, 2008
 
Current assets
  $ 16,638     $ 34,351  
Current liabilities
  $ 10,824     $ 10,261  
Working capital (deficit)
  $ 5,814     $ 24,090  

The changes in our working capital are primarily due to the issuance of common stock for cash less payments of legal and accounting fees.
 
Changes in cash flows are summarized as follows:
 
Our net cash used by operations was $39,524 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to net cash used of $66,726 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we experienced a net loss of $36,141.  We had an increase in accounts receivable of $96 and inventory of $4,645.  These amounts were offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,358. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we experienced a net loss of $118,733.  This was offset by non-cash stock options issued to employees in the amount of $45,474 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $6,533.
