Page 4 MARKETING WORLDWIDE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES GENERAL The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three month period ended December 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 2009. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2008 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's SEC Form 10K. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Marketing Worldwide Corporation (the "Company", "Registrant" or "MWW"), is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in July 2003. The Company is engaged, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marketing Worldwide LLC ("MWWLLC"), in the design, import and distribution of automotive accessories for motor vehicles in the automotive aftermarket industry and provides design services for large automobile manufacturers. The Company operates the wholly owned subsidiary Colortek, Inc in Baroda Michigan and Modelworxx GmbH in Munich, Germany. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Registrant and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Marketing Worldwide LLC, Colortek, Inc., MW Global Limited which owns 100% of the outstanding ownership and economical interest in Modelworxx GmbH. Effective January 1, 2005, the consolidated financial Statements also include a variable interest entity (VIE) of which the LLC is the primary beneficiary as further described in Note H. All significant inter-company transactions and balances, including those involving the VIE, have been eliminated in consolidation. REVENUE RECOGNITION For revenue from products and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered/services rendered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or services has not been rendered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services have been rendered or no refund will be required. On December 17, 2003, the SEC staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. The staff updated and revised the existing revenue recognition in Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, to make its interpretive guidance consistent with current accounting guidance, principally EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Also, SAB 104 incorporates portions of the Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers document that the SEC staff considered relevant and rescinds the remainder. The company's revenue recognition policies are consistent with this guidance; therefore, this guidance will not have an immediate impact on the company's consolidated financial statements. Revenues on the sale of products, net of estimated costs of returns and allowance, are recognized at the time products are shipped to customers, legal title has passed, and all significant contractual obligations of the Company have been satisfied. Products are generally sold on open accounts under credit terms customary to the geographic region of distribution. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the customers and generally does not require collateral to secure the accounts receivable. Page 5 MARKETING WORLDWIDE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The Company generally warrants its products to be free from material defects and to conform to material specifications for a period of three (3) years. The cost of replacing defective products and product returns have been immaterial and within management's expectations. In the future, when the company deems warranty reserves are appropriate that such costs will be accrued to reflect anticipated warranty costs. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of applicable government mandated insurance limit. ACCOUNTING FOR BAD DEBT AND ALLOWANCES Bad debts and allowances are provided based on historical experience and management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Management evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable based on the open invoices aged on due date basis. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2008. INVENTORIES The inventory consists of work in process and finished goods substantially ready for resale purposes. The Company purchases the merchandise on delivered duty paid basis. The amounts for cost of goods sold during the three month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are removed from inventory on weighted average cost method. LONG LIVED ASSETS The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144"). The Statement requires those long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SFAS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Tools, office equipment, automobiles, furniture and fixtures, and building are depreciated over 2-year to 40-year lives. Assets acquired under capitalized lease arrangements are recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Gains and losses from the retirement or disposition of property and equipment are included in operations in the period incurred. ADVERTISING The Company follows the policy of charging the cost of advertising to expenses as incurred. For the three month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, advertising costs were not material to the statement of income. Page 6 MARKETING WORLDWIDE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS The Company accounts for research and development cost in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 2 ("SFAS 2"), "Accounting for Research and Development Costs". Under SFAS 2, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Total research and development costs charged to income were $6,992 and $2,573 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic and diluted loss per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the fiscal year computed under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Common share equivalents totaling 1,100,000 and 10,490,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not considered as they would be anti-dilutive and had no impact on loss per share for any periods presented. INCOME TAXES The Company follows SFAS No. 109, "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES" (SFAS No. 109) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability during each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("FIN 48"), on October 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As required by Interpretation 48, which clarifies SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting this standard, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact in the financial statements during the year ended September 30, 2008 or the three months ended December 31, 2008. 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Page 7 MARKETING WORLDWIDE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS) The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130; "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS) No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. SFAS No. 130 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments and hedging activities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (as amended)" (SFAS 133). In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are either recognized in income immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item, or deferred and recorded in Stockholders' Equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a hedge is recognized in income immediately. The Company has designated an interest rate swap that effectively fixes the floating prime-based interest rate on a mortgage obligation as a cash flow hedge. See Note E for more information on the Company's interest rate swap. FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY The functional currency of the Companies is the U. S. dollar. When a transaction is executed in a foreign currency, it is re-measured into U. S. dollars based on appropriate rates of exchange in effect at the time of the transaction. At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Companies are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate. The resulting foreign currency transactions gains (losses) are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. RECLASSIFICATION Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to prior periods' data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income (loss). ACCOUNTING FOR VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN No. 46R). FIN No. 46R clarifies the application of ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. FIN No. 46R requires the consolidation of these entities, known as variable interest entities, by the primary beneficiary of the entity. The primary beneficiary is the entity, if any, that will absorb a majority of the entities expected losses, receive a majority of the entity's expected residual returns, or both. Page 8 MARKETING WORLDWIDE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Pursuant to the effective date of a related party lease obligation, the Company adopted FIN 46R on January 1, 2005. This resulted in the consolidation of one variable interest entity (VIE) of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company's variable interest in this VIE is the result of providing certain secured debt mortgage guarantees on behalf of a limited liability company that leases warehouse and general offices located in the city of Howell, Michigan. SEGMENT INFORMATION Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS 131") establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed therein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company's principal operating segment. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION Effective for the year beginning January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted SFAS 123 (R) "Share-Based Payment" which supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and eliminates the intrinsic value method that was provided in SFAS 123 for accounting of stock-based compensation to employees. The Company made no employee stock-based compensation grants before December 31, 2005 and therefore has no unrecognized stock compensation related liabilities or expense unvested or vested prior to 2006. The Company did not grant employee options during the three month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company recorded the fair value of the vested portion of previously issued employee options of $65,704 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), "BUSINESS COMBINATIONS" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST IN CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, AN AMENDMENT OF ARB NO. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Page 9 MARKETING WORLDWIDE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED) In June 2007, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued Statement of Position 07-1, "Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies" ("SOP 07-1"). SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the "Audit Guide"). SOP 07-1 was originally determined to be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2007, however, on February 6, 2008, FASB issued a final Staff Position indefinitely deferring the effective date and prohibiting early adoption of SOP 07-1 while addressing implementation issues. In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-3, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities" (EITF 07-3), which requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development (R&D) activities be deferred and amortized over the period that the goods are delivered or the related services are performed, subject to an assessment of recoverability. EITF 07-3 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF 07-3 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus in EITF Issue No. 07-1, "Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements" (EITF 07-1). EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and consistent accounting policy is to be elected. EITF 07-1 also provides for disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity's rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement. EITF 07-1 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will be the Company's fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. The Company has not yet evaluated the potential impact of adopting EITF 07-1 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In March 2008, the FASB" issued SFAS No. 161, "DISCLOSURES ABOUT DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES - AN AMENDMENT TO FASB STATEMENT NO. 133" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161, if any, will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS No. 142-3,"DETERMINATION OF THE USEFUL LIFE OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS". This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142,"GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS". The Company is required to adopt FSP 142-3 on September 1, 2009, earlier adoption is prohibited. The guidance in FSP 142-3 for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset shall be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after adoption, and the disclosure requirements shall be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FSP 142-3 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "THE HIERARCHY OF GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES" ("SFAS No. 162"). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Page 10 MARKETING WORLDWIDE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED) Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 14-1, "ACCOUNTING FOR CONVERTIBLE DEBT INSTRUMENTS THAT MAY BE SETTLED IN CASH UPON CONVERSION (INCLUDING PARTIAL CASH SETTLEMENT)" ("FSP APB 14-1"). FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 03-6-1, "DETERMINING WHETHER INSTRUMENTS GRANTED IN SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS ARE PARTICIPATING SECURITIES." Under the FSP, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP EITF No. 03-6-1 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements. NOTE B - GOING CONCERN The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements during the three month period ended December 31, 2008, the Company incurred a loss of $858,271. These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations. At September 30, 2008, the Company was in default on its line of credit agreement with its primary secured lender. On January 27, 2009, the primary secured lender notified the Company it was in default of its obligations under the line of credit agreement and commercial mortgage loan secured by first deed of trust on real property to JCMD Properties, LLC. The notification is declaring the debt obligations in default and is therefore entitling the lender to exercise certain rights and remedies, including but not limited to, increasing the interest rate to the default rate and demanding immediate repayment in full of the principal, interest and interest swap outstanding liability. Further, the lender notified the Company that the line of credit maturing on February 1, 2009 will not be renewed and no further advances are available on the line of credit. As of January 27, 2009, the interest rate on the line of credit and commercial loan was increased to Prime plus 4.00% and 2.75%, respectively. Management is devoting substantially all of its efforts to developing new markets for its products in the United States and Europe and reducing costs of operations and there can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful and no assurance can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations. In order to improve the Company's liquidity, the Company's management is actively pursuing additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Page 11 MARKETING WORLDWIDE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE C - BANK LINE OF CREDIT Effective June 2, 2008, the Company's credit line was modified to maximum borrowing limit of $800,000 with Key Bank. The credit facility is set up with an annual renewal provision. The existing credit facility expired on February 1, 2009. Borrowings under the agreement are collateralized by substantially all the Company's assets. The Company was required to maintain an operating cash flow to fixed charge ratio of 1.5 to 1 at year end. As of September 30, 2008, the Company was in violation of the fixed charge ratio and change of ownership covenant. As of December 31, 2008, the line of credit remains in default with an outstanding principal balance of $600,000 (see Note K). In addition, the Company has established a credit facility in Germany for a maximum borrowing limit of 35,000 Euro plus 10,000 Euro overdraft protection ($49,331 and $14,094 USD, respectively) with open expiry date. Interest is at 9.5% per year for the credit facility and 4.5% for overdraft protection. The Credit facility is guaranteed by the President of the Company's subsidiary, Modelworxx GmbH.

SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. o Level 1 - Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. o Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. o Level 3 - Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. At December 31, 2008, the Company had an interest rate swap contract recorded at fair value. The fair values of these instruments were measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (Level 2) and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts. The following table provides a summary by level of the fair value of financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis: Page 13 MARKETING WORLDWIDE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE E - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE H - CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES On June 6, 2005 and August 8, 2005, JCMD Properties LLC, an entity controlled by the Company's Chief Executive and Chief Operating officers respectively ("JCMD"), entered into a Secured Loan Agreement with a financial institution, in connection with the financing of real property and improvements ("property"). This agreement is guaranteed by the Company. The property is leased to the Company under a long term operating lease beginning on January 1, 2005. Under the loan agreements, JCMD is obligated to make periodic payments of principal repayments and interest. The Company has no equity interest in JCMD or the property. Page 18 MARKETING WORLDWIDE CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED) NOTE H - CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (CONTINUED) Based on the terms of the lending agreement with the above entity, the Company determined that JCMD was a variable interest entity ("VIE") and the Company was the primary beneficiary under FIN No. 46 since JCMD does not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities. FIN No. 46 requires that an enterprise consolidate a VIE if that enterprise has a variable interest that will absorb a majority of the entity's expected losses if they occur. Accordingly, the Company adopted FIN No. 46 and consolidated JCMD as a VIE, regardless of the Company not having an equity interest in JCMD.

On January 27, 2009, the primary secured lender notified the Company it was in default of its obligations under the line of credit agreement and commercial mortgage loan secured by first deed of trust on real property to JCMD Properties, LLC. The notification is declaring the debt obligations in default and is therefore entitling the lender to exercise certain rights and remedies, including but not limited to, increasing the interest rate to the default rate and demanding immediate repayment in full of the principal, interest and interest swap outstanding liability. Further, the lender notified the Company that the line of credit maturing on February 1, 2009 will not be renewed and no further advances are available on the line of credit. As of January 27, 2009, the interest rate on the line of credit and commercial loan was increased to Prime plus 4.00% and 2.75%, respectively. Page 20 ITEM 2.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES THERETO, INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS FORM 10-Q BUSINESS OVERVIEW Marketing Worldwide Corporation (the "Company", "Registrant" or "MWW"), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in July 2003. The Company is engaged, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marketing Worldwide LLC ("MWWLLC"). MWW is a full service design, engineering and manufacturing firm of original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") components in the automotive accessory market. MWW provides a number of large foreign and domestic automobile manufacturers' and independently owned vehicle processing and distribution centers in the US, Canada and Europe with MWW's components directly at their respective locations. At the instruction of MWW, the vehicle processing centers' technical teams install MWW's accessory products on new automobiles, as soon as these new vehicles arrive from foreign or domestic automobile manufacturers at their centers. From the vehicle processing or distribution centers the accessorized automobiles are then delivered into the domestic car dealer distribution systems throughout the Continental US, Canada and Europe. MWW's relationship is solely with the vehicle processing and/or distribution centers, which also pay for MWW's products. Since its inception, the continuously increasing demand for the company's products and services has prompted an ongoing expansion of MWW's infrastructure and staff and warranted the diversification and expansion of its activities into the design and engineering of its products in the US and Europe. The company has also continued to increase vertical integration in manufacturing, in order to address newly arising market opportunities. Drawing from the experience of its principals, consultants and management team, strategically utilizing longstanding relationships in the industry, the company has steadily expanded its design services, product range, client and employees/contractor base and is currently aggressively pursuing the expansion of its client roster, in addition to its existing major clients such as South East Toyota, Gulf States Toyota and Toyota Canada. In its effort for more vertical integration, the Company has acquired Colortek, a "Class A" painting facility in Baroda, Michigan, Modelworxx GmbH in Munich Germany and has commenced operation with a new "Class A" painting facility in Elkhart, Indiana. The Company has established initial relationships with several new major foreign and domestic automobile manufacturers, has recently begun delivering accessory programs to KIA Motors America and has received additional Request for Quotes from Toyota's Scion Group, KIA Motors America, MOBIS (KIA and Hyundai Worldwide) and Nissan. MWW has been delivering product directly to the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Corporation assembly plant in Canada for nearly twenty six (26) months and has been awarded new programs to be delivered to Toyota Canada International. Through our wholly owned subsidiary Modelworxx in Germany we have begun to manufacture and deliver products to Toyota Europe and are currently in the process to expand our design and logistics services in Germany. We have expanded the number of products designed in Germany for sale to other European automobile manufacturers and our large customers in the US. Through Modelworxx, we will also provide our US produced products for sale to European customers, currently supported by a very favorable Dollar exchange rate with the Euro. We are in various stages of seeking to provide our accessory programs to other major foreign and domestic automobile manufacturers such as Ford, GM, Nissan, Subaru and Hyundai in the US and several large manufacturers and distributors throughout Europe. Page 21 SEASONALITY. Historically, our operating results have fluctuated by quarter to quarter, with the greatest sales occurring in the quarters of the fiscal year with the largest number of automobile manufacturers new model releases. Revenues are generally being recognized at the time of product shipment. It is in these quarters of new model releases that demand for our products is typically the highest. As we expand our business globally, we expect to better able to mitigate these impacts. The limited seasonality of our business offers significant operational challenges in our manufacturing and distribution functions, based on a partial dependency on manufacturing abroad. To limit these challenges and to provide a rapid turnaround time of customer orders, we traditionally keep somewhat higher inventory levels. New strategies to decrease inventory and improve inventory turns over rates are currently being implemented. Utilizing the synergies between our newly acquired companies and the utilization of the newly created manufacturing capacities here in the US that are now controlled by us, we are expecting to produce higher levels of efficiency over time. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OPERATING ACTIVITIES. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, we used $334,634 of cash flow in operations primarily from our net loss of $858,271; offset by non cash depreciation and amortization charges of $140,380, fair value of options granted of $65,704, minority interest of $(36,298) and net changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $353,851. INVESTING ACTIVITIES. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, we used $12,178 in cash flows in investing activities by acquiring additional equipment for our operations of $12,178. FINANCING ACTIVITIES. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, net cash flow provided by financing activities amounted to $122,572. The net cash flow was generated by borrowing $248,963 on our credit lines, offset by our pay down of our notes and leases payable by $28,391 and cash distributions of $98,000 to the members of JCMD Properties LLC. MWW currently had a $800,000 line of credit, which expired on February 1, 2009 and was used to fund seasonal working capital requirements and other financing needs. MWW pledged all of its inventory, equipment, accounts, and chattel paper, instruments, and letters of credit, documents, deposit accounts, investment property, money, rights to payment and general intangibles to secure the Loan. The Company was required to maintain an operating cash flow to fixed charge ratio of 1.5 to 1 at year end. At September 30, 2008, the Company was in default on its line of credit agreement with its primary secured lender. On January 27, 2009, the primary secured lender notified the Company it was in default of its obligations under the line of credit agreement and commercial mortgage loan secured by first deed of trust on real property to JCMD Properties, LLC. The notification is declaring the debt obligations in default and is therefore entitling the lender to exercise certain rights and remedies, including but not limited to, increasing the interest rate to the default rate and demanding immediate repayment in full of the principal, interest and interest swap outstanding liability. Further, the lender notified the Company that the line of credit maturing on February 1, 2009 will not be renewed and no further advances are available on the line of credit. As of January 27, 2009, the interest rate on the line of credit and commercial loan was increased to Prime plus 4.00% and 2.75%, respectively. The Company is currently negotiating to lower the interest rates for both loans. Our working capital requirements have increased because of our recent acquisitions and declining sales, the opening of our new facility AutoFX in Elkhart, newly awarded programs and arising program development opportunities to secure additional large customers.. The global credit market crisis has had a dramatic effect on our industry. In the three months ended December 31, 2008, the turmoil in the mortgage and overall credit markets, continued reductions in U.S. housing values, the high likelihood that the United States and Western Europe have entered into a recession and the slowdown of economic growth in the rest of the world, created a substantially more difficult business environment. Vehicle sales in North America contracted severely and the pace of vehicle sales in the rest of the world slowed. Our liquidity position, as well as our operating performance, were negatively affected by these economic and industry conditions and by other financial business factors, many of which are beyond our control. We do not believe it is likely that these adverse economic conditions, and their effect on the automotive industry, will improve significantly in the near term, notwithstanding the unprecedented intervention by the U.S. and other governments in the global banking and financial systems. As of December 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $553,958. Our registered independent certified public accountants have stated in their report dated January 13, 2009, that we have incurred operating losses in the last two years, and that we are dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations and raise additional capital. These factors among others may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Page 22 INTERIM RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007. SALES. Net sales during the first quarter 2009 (three months ending December 31, 2008) were $1,396,160 a decrease of $1,336,762, or 48.9 %, compared to $2,732,922 during the first quarter 2008. This decrease was due a slowdown of manufacturing activities in the automobile industry. GROSS MARGINS. Gross margins for the first quarter 2009 decreased to 34.1 % from 40.1 % in the same period of 2008 due to pricing constraints and fixed costs embedded in our cost of sales line. OPERATING EXPENSES SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $194,656 to $1,155,115 in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $1,349,771 in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease was attributable to operating costs reductions we put into place with the auto industry downturn. OPERATING LOSS. Operating loss increased by $424,316 to a loss of ($679,229) in the first quarter of 2009, compared to a net operating loss of ($254,913) in the first quarter of 2008. This increase was due to primarily to the factors described above. FINANCING EXPENSE. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, our financing expense increased to $232,647 from $120,711, an increase of 93 % over the same period prior year. The increase was primarily related to the mark to market adjustment to our interest swap agreement associated with the JCMD Properties, LLC mortgages. NET LOSS increased by $485,312 to a loss of ($858,271) from a loss of ($372,959). CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies see the Notes to the Financial Statements of our Report on Form 10K. Note that our preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. ACCOUNTING FOR VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN No. 46R). FIN No. 46R clarifies the application of ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. FIN No. 46R requires the consolidation of these entities, known as variable interest entities, by the primary beneficiary of the entity. The primary beneficiary is the entity, if any, that will absorb a majority of the entities expected losses, receive a majority of the entity's expected residual returns or both. Pursuant to the effective date of a related party lease obligation, the Company adopted FIN 46R on January 1, 2005. This resulted in the consolidation of one variable interest entity (VIE) of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company's variable interest in this VIE is the result of providing certain secured debt mortgage guarantees on behalf of a limited liability company that leases warehouse and general offices located in the city of Howell, Michigan. REVENUE RECOGNITION For revenue from products and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on Page 23 management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered/services rendered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or services has not been rendered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services has been rendered or no refund will be required. On December 17, 2003, the SEC staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.104, Revenue Recognition. The staff updated and revised the existing revenue recognition in Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, to make its interpretive guidance consistent with current accounting guidance, principally EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Also, SAB 104 incorporates portions of the Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers document that the SEC staff considered relevant and rescinds the remainder. The company's revenue recognition policies are consistent with this guidance; therefore, this guidance will not have an immediate impact on the company's consolidated financial statements. Revenues on the sale of products, net of estimated costs of returns and allowance, are recognized at the time products are shipped to customers, legal title has passed, and all significant contractual obligations of the Company have been satisfied. Products are generally sold on open accounts under credit terms customary to the geographic region of distribution. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the customers and generally does not require collateral to secure the accounts receivable. The Company generally warrants its products to be free from material defects and to conform to material specifications for a period of three (3) years. The cost of replacing defective products and product returns have been immaterial and within management's expectations. In the future, when the company deems warranty reserves are appropriate that such costs will be accrued to reflect anticipated warranty costs. INVENTORIES We value our inventories, which consist primarily of automotive body components, at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the weighted average cost method and includes the cost of merchandise and freight. A periodic review of inventory quantities on hand is performed in order to determine if inventory is properly valued at the lower of cost or market. Factors related to current inventories such as future consumer demand and trends in MWW's core business, current aging, and current and anticipated wholesale discounts, and class or type of inventory is analyzed to determine estimated net realizable values. A provision is recorded to reduce the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable values, if required. Any significant unanticipated changes in the factors noted above could have a significant impact on the value of our inventories and our reported operating results. ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS We are required to estimate the collectability of our trade receivables. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of these receivables including the current creditworthiness of each customer and related aging of the past due balances. In order to assess the collectability of these receivables, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition. Through these evaluations we may become aware of a situation where a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial viability, credit ratings or bankruptcy. The reserve requirements are based on the best facts available to us and are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. Our reserves are also based on amounts determined by using percentages applied to certain aged receivable categories. These percentages are determined by a variety of factors including, but are not limited to, current economic trends, historical payment and bad debt write-off experience. We are not able to predict changes in the financial condition of our customers and if circumstances related to our customers deteriorate, our estimates of the recoverability of our receivables could be materially affected and we may be required to record additional allowances. Alternatively, if we provided more allowances than are ultimately required, we may reverse a portion of such provisions in future periods based on our actual collection experience. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for the Plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, as permitted by SFAS No. 123. Consequently, no stock-based compensation cost relating to stock options was recognized in the consolidated statement of income for any period prior to 2006, as all options granted under the Plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value provisions for share-based awards pursuant to SFAS No. 123(R), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that Page 24 transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the attribution method and grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), all recognized on a straight line basis as the requisite service periods are rendered. Results for prior periods have not been restated. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. ITEM 3. - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of December 31, 2008, the Company's management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's system of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act, Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of the date of their evaluation, for the purposes of recording, processing, summarizing, and timely reporting material information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. b) Changes in internal controls. Previously, the Company disclosed management's determination that deficiencies existed in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008 under criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). As noted in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, management determined that control deficiencies existed due to the Company's lack of documented policies and procedures concerning internal controls over financial reporting, the Company's lack of an audit committee; the Company's risk of management override given that our officers have a high degree of involvement in our day to day operations; the Company's lack of documented policies and procedures concerning its policy on fraud, the Company's lack of a documented code of ethics; and the Company's lack of effective separation of duties, which includes monitoring controls, between the members of management. There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting, known to the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is likely to materially effect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. In response, the Company has addressed these deficiencies and while it has not eliminated each item, the Company has begun a process to address each identified weakness, such as, hiring an outside CPA consultant who will provide a greater degree of separation of duties, especially Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable management. Further, the outside CPA consultant will be implementing documented policies and procedures concerning the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, its policy on fraud and code of ethics. Moreover, the Company's board of directors is evaluating the cost vs. benefit of expanding its board to include independent directors and a separate audit committee, as well as methods to implement sufficient monitoring controls among a small number of executives. As a result of our limited financial resources, we do not anticipate that we will be in a position to engage accounting personnel or a senior financial officer in the foreseeable future. Until we are able to engage a qualified financial officer, and/or accounting staff, we may continue to experience material weaknesses in our disclosure controls that may continue to adversely affect our ability to timely file our quarterly and annual reports. Accordingly, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, as of December 31, 2008, for the purposes of recording, processing, summarizing, and timely reporting material information required to be disclosed in reports filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
