PART I
 
Item 1.   Description of Business
 
Overview
 
United Companies Corporation (herein referred to as “United”, or “the Company”), a Nevada corporation, entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated March 23, 2004, by and among United, Trebor Industries, Inc., d/b/a Brownie’s Third Lung, a Florida corporation, and Robert Carmichael. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Mr. Carmichael exchanged 377 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Trebor, which constituted all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Trebor, for 95,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Trebor became a wholly owned subsidiary of United. Prior to the share exchange transaction with Trebor, United had no on-going operations.
 
The Company designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and Nitrox Generation Systems, and scuba and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. United sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung. The Company’s products are classified into three main sales categories: Brownie’s Third Lung, Brownie’s Tankfill, and Brownie’s Public Safety. 
 
Brownie’s Third Lung, the consistent product category revenue leader for the Company, is comprised of Surface Supplied Diving products, commonly called hookah systems. These systems allow one to four divers to enjoy the marine environment without the bulk and weight of conventional SCUBA gear. We believe that Hookah diving holds greater appeal to families with children of diving age than does conventional SCUBA. The reduction of weight by eliminating the tank allows smaller divers, especially children, to participate more actively and enjoyably. In conjunction with the hookah systems, Brownie’s Third Lung supplies a variety of other products to support this market. These products are predominantly sold through SCUBA diving retailers, however, Brownie’s is expanding its market to sporting goods and boating retailers as well largely through a web-based training methodology that was introduced in July 2005. Web-based training allows consumers to initiate the required training for use of the system on their own schedule. It also addresses the training aspect that was previously a sale consideration at point-of-sale. Effective July 1, 2005, all hookah units sold included on-line training certificates. The training certificates entitle the holder to an on-line interactive course at no additional charge to the holder. The number of on-line training certificates issued per unit is the same as the number of divers the unit as sold is designed to accommodate (i.e., a three diver unit configuration comes with three on-line training certificates). It is anticipated that the final phase of the training will still be completed through traditional dive retailers and instructors. The addition of the web based training program has expanded the market for Brownie’s since it can now sell hookah systems to the non-diving public.
 
The Brownie’s Tankfill product category also generates a significant portion of the Company’s revenues, through the design, installation and maintenance of yacht-based high-pressure and low-pressure compressors for diving on air and mixed gases. Many yacht owners enjoy the convenience and freedom of filling their own diving tanks with air, NITROX or custom mixed gases while out on cruise, freeing them from carrying extra cylinders or the need to locate a reputable source in various ports-of-call. Brownie’s Tankfill specializes in the design and installation of high-end custom systems to do just that. From surveying the vessel for installation requirements to custom fabrication of the necessary components, Brownie’s Tankfill provides all the services necessary to satisfy this market. The Company has established a number of relationships with yacht builders to allow shipyards to market and sell the Brownie’s Tankfill systems. We believe that every large vessel currently in service, being re-fitted, or being built is a potential customer. Through OEM relationships we expand our market to reach these customers. Toward that end we have grown our number of OEM relationships and continue to pursue more through direct contact with yacht-builders.
 
  The Brownie’s Public Safety product category provides integrated and stand-alone flotation and emergency/rescue equipment for use by fire departments and other government agencies in their on-water/near-water activities. “Rescue, not Recovery” is the marketing slogan for this product category, and the driving force behind development. We believe municipalities and government agencies can increase their own safety while responding more quickly in emergencies through the use of our products. In July 2005, we entered into an agreement establishing Global Secure Safety Products, Inc. as our exclusive North and South American distributor for the Rapid Entry System (RES) mini scuba product, which is being sold exclusively in these markets under the Global Secure band ad the Global Secure Rescue Pac. We continue to pursue similar distributorships outside this market area as well.

Some Of The Company’s Products In Depth
 
Surface Supplied Air System: The Company produces a line of Surface Supplied Diving products, commonly called hookah systems. These systems allow one to four divers to enjoy the marine environment up to 90 feet without the bulk and weight of conventional SCUBA-gear. We believe that hookah diving holds greater appeal to families with children of diving age than does conventional SCUBA. The reduction of weight by eliminating the tank allows smaller divers, especially children, to participate more actively and enjoyably. The design of our product also reduces the effort required to both transport and use it. We believe the PELETON™ Hose System revolutionizes hose management for recreational surface supplied diving. It reduces the work required of any single diver by dispersing the load over the entire group. We use a single, larger diameter hose as a main downline with up to four individual hoses attached to it. This configuration not only reduces the weight and bulk of the hose required, but also reduces drag and entanglement. An entire line of deck-mounted systems is available for commercial applications that demand extremely high performance. In addition to the gasoline-powered units, a series of electric powered systems is also available for light to commercial duty. Powered by battery for portability or household current for virtually unlimited dive duration, these units are used primarily by businesses that work in a marine environment.
 
E-Reel and Built-in Battery Systems: Taking convenience one step further, the Company has developed two surface supplied air products that it believes makes boat diving even easier. The Built-in Battery System builds a battery powered electric unit into the boat, eliminating the need to transport the compressor/motor assembly. The need for a flotation tube is also removed, as the boat itself serves in that capacity. The E-Reel advances this idea by adding a reel system to provide compact storage of up to 150 feet of hose. Boaters can perform their own in-water maintenance and inspections, or just dive for enjoyment. The hose is manually pulled from the reel supporting up to two divers to a depth of fifty feet. When the dive is complete, the hose is automatically recoiled and stowed by the simple activation of a switch.
 
Kayak Diving Hose Kits:  This product allows the use of a conventional SCUBA cylinder, but does not require the diver to wear it. The cylinder remains above the surface, in a kayak or boat, and a hose ranging from 20 to 150 feet allow the diver to explore the surrounding area.
 
Drop Weight Cummerbelt: The patented Drop Weight Cummerbelt is available with all our diving systems, and brings a new dimension to weighting systems. The belt will accommodate waist sizes from 24 to 54 inches and is depth compensating. It features two pockets, each capable of holding up to 10 pounds of block or shot weight. Each pocket can be instantly release by either hand, allowing the diver to achieve positive buoyancy in an emergency while retaining the belt itself. Additionally, the design of this belt provides for expanded capability. By adding an optional sleeve that zips onto the back of the belt, an egress, or bailout system, can be added. The Egressor Add-on Kit contains the sleeve, a 6 or 13 cubic foot SCUBA cylinder, and a SCUBA regulator. In addition to the added safety inherent in this design, many other uses for this present themselves, such as propeller clearing, overboard item retrieval and pool maintenance, to name only a few.

Bell Bottom Flag Bag (BBFB): Is what we believe is a unique product providing the diver with a collection bag at depth, a marker (floating flag) at the surface and a lifting device independent of the diver as well as an ascent safety device. This product allows the diver to minimize the amount of gear needed for safety or the harvest of seafood.
 
BC KEEL Counterweight System: Is what we believe is a revolutionary ballast system designed to offset the inherent buoyancy of a SCUBA tank and provide the diver with a more reliable ‘face -up’ surface position. We believe our product has the technical and affordable potential to become the “primary ballast system” with the right promotion and education of the diving public. There are four most popular items that almost ALL divers buy before the completion of Open Water I Certification: Mask, Snorkel, Fins, and Weight system, because these items are affordable, small, universal, and PERSONAL.
 
Tankfill Compressors: Many yacht owners enjoy the convenience and freedom of filling their own diving tanks with air, NITROX or custom mixed gases while out on cruise, freeing them from carrying extra cylinders or the need to locate a reputable source in various ports-of-call. Brownie’s Tankfill specializes in the design and installation of high-end custom systems to do just that. From surveying the vessel for installation requirements to custom fabrication of the necessary components, Tankfill provides all the services necessary to satisfy this market. We believe that every large vessel currently in service, being re-fitted, or being built is a potential customer. Through OEM relationships we have expanded our market to reach these customers. Our light duty compressor, the Marine Basic is specifically designed and built to withstand the marine environment with all components and hardware impervious to spray from the elements. The Yacht Pro series contains models for both medium-duty applications, such as recreational divers and small groups, and heavy-duty use as found on research vessels, commercial operations and live-aboard dive boats. All Yacht Pro models come with the Digital Frequency Drive, which is a Brownie’s Tankfill innovation. The Digital Frequency Drive eliminates the spike previously experienced in starting the compressor, eliminating the need to ration the boat’s electrical usage by shutting down components when the compressor is needed. Brownie’s utilizes an AutoCAD industrial drawing program to design, engineer and maintain drawings of its various products. Custom design work is done in-house for major product installations and in conjunction with other entities.
 
NitroxMaker™: We believe Nitrox has become the gas of choice for informed recreational diving the world over. What was once only available from land based gas mixing facilities is now easily accessible to the yacht diver. With a Brownie’s NitroxMaker™, the user simply dials-in a desired oxygen level from 21% to 40%, eliminating the need to transport and handle pure oxygen. The resulting diving gas mix is monitored with digital oxygen analyzers, removing the calculations required to blend or mix the gas.
 
Rapid Entry System (RES) and HELO System: The Brownie’s Public Safety product line exists to address the needs of the public safety dive market. The inherent speed and ease of donning our Drop Weight Cummerbelt with Egressor Add-on Kit identified it as an obvious choice for rapid response for water-related emergencies. A first-responder or officer on-scene can initiate the location and extraction of victims while the dive team is en-route, saving valuable time and increasing the changes for survival of victims. The RES is a small SCUBA system that can be quickly donned over clothes, usually in less than sixty seconds. Its small size allows it to be stored in areas that would never accommodate a full set of SCUBA gear. The 13 cubic foot aluminum tank can provide up to 15 minutes of air at the surface. The air cell remains stowed under the protective cover and can be partially inflated to achieve positive flotation. The cover’s specially designed break-away zipper bursts open to provide instant inflation yet “heals” and can be repacked and fastened quickly in the field. The HELO offers all the same features, but has been specially designed and modified for rescue divers working from helicopters. By placing the cylinder in the front and adding leg straps, the HELO allows divers to use the standard seating configurations. The advantages of this system over full sized SCUBA rigs are increased mobility for the diver and diminished space requirements for the gear. Since the bottle is mounted at the diver’s waist, he can more easily control his gear during deployment, further adding to the comfort and safety.
 
Market Data
 
The Company operates in both the SCUBA Diving Industry and the Marine Industry. The following is general market data for both:
 
5

 
SCUBA Diving Industry
 
The following data is based on information reported on Professional Association of Dive Instructors’ (PADI) website, www.padi.com, as of March 15, 2006: PADI certifies 60% of all new divers in the United States. PADI issued 526,904 new divers certifications worldwide in 2000 (the most recent information available). (Thus, per our extrapolation, an estimated 878,173 new divers were certified by all the training agencies collectively worldwide in 2000). PADI estimates that the range of active divers in the United States ranges from 1.6 million to 2.9 million based on data it collected. Per PADI, the largest number of SCUBA certifications completed each year in the United States has been in Florida. Also, per PADI’s statistics, the number of certifications issued by PADI each year has increased consistently since 1967. As of March 18, 2007, this information is no longer published on PADI’s website. However, the Company believes the statistics should have remained relatively consistent.
 
Marine Industry
 
The following data is based on information published by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), www.nmma.org, as of March 18, 2007: Recreational boating contributed approximately $37.3 billion in 2005 to the nation’s economy, up more than 13% from 2004. Sales growth of recreational boats continued to outpace U.S. economic growth in 2004, increasing an average of 8% annually since 1997, when compared to the Gross Domestic Product, which averaged 3.4% annual growth during the same period. There were 12.94 million boats registered in the United States in 2005, and of this amount, Florida captured the number one ranking with 973,859 registrations among all the states. Total dollars spent on new power boats, motor, trailers and accessory purchases in 2005 was $15.40 billion with Florida ranking number one among all the states capturing $2.11 billion of this market. Total dollars spent on marine aftermarket accessory purchases alone was $2.91 billion. Of this amount, again Florida ranked number one among all the states capturing $434 million of this market. The products the Company sells would generally be considered part of the marine aftermarket accessory category. From 2003 to 2005 the marine aftermarket accessory market has grown from $2.42 billion to $2.91 billion, or an increase of 20.25%. Over the past eight years aftermarket accessories sales have more than doubled from $1.2 billion in 1997 to $2.9 billion in 2005.
 
Product Target Markets
 
The Company sells a variety of products that fall primarily into three categories, Brownie’s Third Lung, Brownie’s Tankfill, and Brownie’s Public Safety Diving. While all of our offerings are marine based, each product category targets a slightly different consumer and approaches its target group in a different manner. Due to the common water-based theme, some of the markets will overlap, thereby qualifying the same customer for more than one major product. Brownie’s Third Lung, the Surface Supplied Air or hookah business has both retail and wholesale groups.  We believe that a significant portion of the 973,758 registered boat owners in Florida, as are potential customers for our recreational systems. In past years our product was more likely to reach them through SCUBA diving retailers.  In mid 2005, in an effort to expand our Scuba diving retailer market and to reach additional, non-diving consumers, the Company implemented a web-based training program to expand the availability of our product to marine retailers who cater, for the most part, specifically to boaters.  Brownie’s Tankfill targets a similar group, the boating community, but concentrates its attention on boats over 30 feet in length.  We have enjoyed a measure of success by approaching the consumer directly. We also continue to establish relationships with boat yards building luxury vessels throughout the world by offering them an OEM policy and pricing structure. Our newest market is that for Brownie’s Public Safety Diving.  We have identified municipalities and government agencies, both in the United States and abroad, as our primary consumer. In July 2005, we entered into an agreement establishing Global Secure Safety Products, Inc. as our exclusive North and South American distributor for the Rapid Entry System (RES) mini scuba product, which is being sold exclusively in these markets under the Global Secure band ad the Global Secure Rescue Pac. The RES is part of our public safety sales product category. Although the United States and predominantly Florida have been our past focus, we continue to search for and establish distributors in Australia and Europe for all of our products.

Websites
 
The Company has several web sites: www.browniedive.com, www.tankfill.com, and www.browniespublicsafety.com. Additionally, all our products are marketed on our primary customers’ website. In addition, to these websites, numerous other websites have quick links to the Company’s websites. Our products are available domestically and internationally. Internet sales and inquiries are also supported by the Company as a preferred method of many of our customers, particularly International customers.
 
Distribution
 
Our products are distributed to our customers primarily by common carrier.
 
Expansion Goal
 
The Company has expanded in the past through internal growth and current plans are to do the same. Should an opportunity arise in the future for a business acquisition that we believe will complement our business strategically or expand our market share, we will evaluate its feasibility at that time.
 
Product Research And Development (R&D)
 
We continuously work to provide our customers with both new and improved products. We offer research and development services to not only the related entities we license our patents and trademarks from, but also to other customers as well. R&D services for customers and the related entities are invoiced in the normal course of business. In addition, we are working on internal research and development projects toward the goal of developing some of our own patentable products. Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, were $7,140 and $18,730, respectively.
 
7

 
Government Regulations
 
The SCUBA industry is self-regulating; therefore, the Company is not subject to government industry specific regulation. Nevertheless, the Company strives to be a leader in promoting safe diving practices within the industry and believes it is at the forefront of self-regulation through responsible diving practices. The Company is subject to all regulations applicable to “for profit” companies as well as all trade and general commerce governmental regulation. All required federal and state permits, licenses, and bonds to operate its facility have been obtained. There can be no assurance that the Company’s operation and profitability will not be subject to more restrictive regulation or increased taxation by federal, state, or local agencies in the future.
 
Customers
 
We are predominantly a wholesale distributor to retail dive stores, marine stores, and shipyards. This includes approximately 500 independent Brownie dealers. We retail our products to including, but not limited to, boat owners, recreational divers and commercial divers. Our largest customer and Brownie dealer is Brownie’s Southport Diver’s, Inc. (BSD), a related entity owned by the brother of Robert Carmichael, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Sales to BSD for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 represented, 16.40% and 18.33%, respectively, of total Company sales. Sales to Enpro International, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2006 represented 17.87% of total Company net revenues. Sales to no other customer represented greater than 10.00% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
 
Raw Materials
 
Principal raw materials for our business include machined parts such as rods, pistons, bearings; hoses; regulators; compressors; engines; high-pressure valves and fittings; sewn goods; and various plastic parts including pans, covers, intake staffs, and quick release connections. Principal suppliers of these materials to us are Kuriyama, Advantage Plastics of New York, Gates Rubber, Ocean Divers Supply, Anderson Metals, East Coast Plastics, Center Star, Bauer, Leeson Electric, Sagittarius, Campbell Hausfield, Roberts Supply, Robin America Subaru, and Florida Fluid Systems Technology Inc. Most materials are readily available from multiple vendors. Some materials require greater lead times than others. Accordingly, we strive to avoid out of stock situations through careful monitoring of these inventory lead times, and through avoiding single source vendors whenever possible.
 
Competition
 
We consider the most significant competitive factors in our business to be low prices, shopping convenience, the variety of available of products, knowledgeable sales personnel, rapid and accurate fulfillment of orders, and prompt customer service. We currently recognize one significant competitor in hookah sales and two significant competitors in high pressure tankfill sales. Products from the hookah competitor and those from one of the tankfill competitors are very similar to ours as the principals in both received their training in the industry from Brownie’s. Brownie’s other competitor in high pressure tankfill is a large multi-national company that does not offer significant customization, thereby we believe reducing our head-to-head competition in many cases. We believe we do not have significant competitors in the Brownie’s Tankfill line of high-end custom yacht packages.
 
Overall, we are operating in a moderately competitive environment. We believe that the price structure for all the products we distribute compares favorably with the majority of our competitors based on quality and available features. While certain of our competitors offer lower prices on some similar products, we believe that few can offer products and services which are comparable to those of ours in terms of convenience, available features, reliability, and quality. In addition, most of our competitors offer only high or low-pressure products and services where we are able to fulfill both needs.
 
Personnel
 
We currently have sixteen (16) full time employees at our facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, seven (7) are classified as, administrative or management, and nine (9) are classified as non-exempt factory or administrative support. We utilize consultants when needed in the absence of available in-house expertise. Our employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
 
8

 
Seasonality
 
The current main product categories of our business, Brownie’s Third Lung and Brownie’s Tank Fill, are seasonal in nature. The peak season for Brownie’s Third Lung’s products is the second and third quarters of the year. The peak season for Brownie’s Tank Fill’s products is the fourth and first quarters of the year. Since the seasons compliment one another, we are able to shift cross-trained factory and warehouse personnel between the two lines of business as needed. Thus, the Company is able to avoid the down time normally associated with seasonal business.
 
Item 2.   Description Of Property
 
The corporate headquarters, factory and distribution center of the Company is located at 936/940 NW 1st Street, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33311. Through February 20,2007, the facility was leased from GKR Associates, LLC, an entity in which the Chief Executive Officer has an ownership interest, for approximately $10,000 per month. On February 22, 2007 the Company acquired the facility from GKR Associates, LLC. for cash and other consideration. The terms of the property acquisition are discussed below under "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence". The facilities are comprised of approximately 16,000 square feet of space of which approximately 7,500 square feet is office, and the remainder is factory and warehouse space. We believe that the facilities are suitable for their intended purpose, are being efficiently utilized and provide adequate capacity to meet demand for the foreseeable future.

Dividends
 
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any earnings to finance the growth of the business. We cannot assure you that we will ever pay cash dividends. Whether we pay any cash dividends in the future will depend on the financial condition, results of operations and other factors that the Board of Directors will consider.

Convertible Debentures
 
On April 2, 2004, we issued a Secured Convertible Debenture to Cornell Capital Partners, LP in the principal amount of $250,000. The convertible debenture is convertible into shares of our common stock as a price per share that is equal to the lesser of: (i) an amount equal to 120% of the closing bid price of our common stock as of the date of the convertible debenture or (ii) an amount equal to 80% of the average of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The Secured Convertible Debenture accrues interest at a rate of 5% per year and is convertible at the holder’s option. The Secured Convertible Debenture has a term of 2 years and is secured by all the assets of United. At United’s option, the Secured Convertible Debenture may be paid in cash or converted into shares of our common stock unless converted earlier by the holder. Except after an event of default as set forth in the Secured Convertible Debenture, Cornell Capital Partners, LP is not entitled to convert such debenture for a number of shares of common stock of United in excess of that number of shares which, upon giving effect to the debentures if such conversion would cause the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially held by such holder and its affiliated to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of United. On July 23, 2004, United issued a second Secured Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $125,000, with the same terms and conditions as the Secured Convertible Debenture issued on April 2, 2004, as described above. United has the right to redeem with fifteen (15) business days advance notice, a portion or all of the outstanding convertible debentures. The redemption price shall be one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the redeemed amount plus accrued interest. In addition, if United avails itself of the redemption right, United shall, concurrent with the redemption, issue warrants to the holder at a rate of 50,000 per $100,000 redeemed, pro-rata. The exercise price of the warrants shall be 120% of the closing bid price of United’s common stock on the closing date. The warrants shall have “piggy-back” and demand registration rights and shall survive for two (2) years from the closing date.
 
On June 2, 2006, the Company fully satisfied the outstanding balance of the Secured Convertible Debentures. As part of the redemption, Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. waived its right to issuance of warrants and reduced the redemption fee from 20% to 10.21%. In addition, the Redemption Agreement retired the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. The total amount paid Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. under the Redemption Agreement was $266,777 that included $210,500 redemption amount (principal amount), $34,777 accrued interest, and $21,500 redemption fee (10.21%) of principal amount. The Company recorded a $109,517 gain on extinguishments of the Secured Convertible Debentures attributable to the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion feature.

The following table represents conversions by Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. under the terms of the Secured Convertible Debentures from January 1, 2006 through redemption on June 2, 2006 for restricted common stock:

Standby Equity Distribution Agreement
 
On April 2, 2004, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. In addition, the Company issued 3,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in April 2004 for commitment fees totaling $290,000 related to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. The commitment fees were amortized to additional paid in-capital over the term of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. As part of the redemption of the Secured Convertible Debentures, the Company terminated on June 2, 2006 the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement.
 
Options and Warrants
 
Effective January 1, 2005, we entered into a two-year consulting agreement with an individual for management and strategic services. In addition to the monthly consulting fee, the agreement provides for warrants to purchase 28,571,428 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of the warrants is $.007 per share, which equaled the bid/ask price of the Company’s common stock on January 1, 2005, the effective date of the agreement. The rights to exercise the warrants shall vest in four equal tranches of 7,142,857 common shares at six months, twelve months, eighteen months, and twenty-four months. The warrants expiration date is twenty-four months after the vesting date. Further, the warrants have “piggy-back” registration rights and provide for either a cash or cashless exercise. The cashless exercise provision provides for a discount in the amount of shares to be issued upon at exercise based on a formula that takes into account as one of its factors the average of the closing sale price on the common stock for five trading days immediately prior to but not including the date of exercise. We can terminate the consulting agreement at any time for “Cause” as defined in the consulting Agreement. The consultant may terminate the consulting agreement at any time for non-payment of monies due, and such condition remains uncured for a period of sixty days. As of December 31, 2006, the rights to exercise 28,571,428 had vested under the consulting agreement and no warrants had been exercised.

United believes that all transactions were transactions not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, since (a) each of the transactions involved the offering of such securities to a substantially limited number of persons; (b) each person took the securities as an investment for his own account and not with a view to distribution; (c) each person had access to information equivalent to that which would be included in a registration statement on the applicable form under the Act; (d) each person had knowledge and experience in business and financial matters to understand the merits and risk of the investment; therefore no registration statement need be in effect prior to such issuances.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
 
Overview
 
Since March 23, 2004 the Company designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and Nitrox Generation Systems, and scuba and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. United sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name of Trebor.
 
Since April 16, 2004, Mr. Carmichael has served as President, Acting Principal Accounting Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company. From March 23, 2004 to April 26, 2004, Mr. Carmichael served as United’s Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Carmichael has operated Trebor Industries, Inc. as its President since 1986. He is the holder or co-holder of numerous patents that are used by Trebor Industries, Inc. and several other major players in the diving industry. Prior to the share exchange transaction with Trebor, United had no on-going operations. United had been seeking potential operating businesses and business opportunities, with the intent to acquire or merge with such businesses. Effective March 23, 2004, United had sold all of its ownership interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Merger Co., to Gateway Connections Limited, an international business company formed under the laws of Belize. Merger Co. owned a wholly owned interest in Avid Sportswear & Golf Corp., a Nevada corporation.
 
Financial Performance
 
United has a history of losses. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, United had net income of $565,793 and a net loss of $96,310, respectively.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make a wide variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increases, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. We have identified certain accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are as follows:

Inventory- Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) accounting method. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Company’s management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when required.

Fixed assets - Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is primarily 3 to 5 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).

The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.
 
Revenue recognition - Revenues from product sales are recognized when the Company’s products are shipped. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost of each contract. This method is used because management considers the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts.

12

 
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Change in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

The asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”, represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”, represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. Claims are included in revenues when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Revenue and costs incurred for time and material projects are recognized currently as the work is performed.

Product development costs - Product development expenditures are charged to expenses as incurred.

Advertising and marketing costs - The Company recognizes advertising expenses in accordance with Statement of Position 93-7 “Reporting on Advertising Costs.” Accordingly, the Company expenses the costs of producing advertisements at the time production occurs, and expenses the costs of communicating advertisements in the period in which the advertising space or airtime is used. Advertising and trade show expenses incurred for the year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, were $47,402, and $49,974, respectively.

Income taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Comprehensive income (loss) - The Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net loss equals comprehensive loss for all periods.

The Company did not issue any stock, warrants or options, to employees for compensation for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature.

Earnings (loss) per common share - Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

This discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred income tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, FASB issued Financial Accounting Statement (FAS) 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 are effective for the Company on or before January 1, 2008. The provisions of this Statement shall be applied prospectively as of the date of adoption with a limited form of retrospective application to certain financial instruments that will result in cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 157 on its financial statements.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (“FIN 48”) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires the recognition of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its financial statements.

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. The statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a voluntary change in accounting principle. The Statement requires retrospective application of prior periods’ financial statement of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one of more individual periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. The Statement carries forward the without change the guidance contained in APB opinion No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements, a change in accounting estimate, and guidance regarding justification of a change in accounting principle on the basis of preferability. The Statement is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2005. As allowed by the Statement, the Company adopted early application in June 2005 with no significant financial impact.

In March, 2005, the FASB issued Summary of Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143. The Interpretation clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within control of the entity. The Interpretation directs that the entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred - generally upon acquisition, construction, or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. The Interpretation further clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation acknowledging that in some cases this information may not be available. The Interpretation is effective no later than the end of the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for calendar year enterprises). As encouraged by the FASB, the Company elected early application of this Interpretation in the year ended December 31, 2005 without significant financial impact.
 
Results Of Operations For The Year Ended December 31, 2006, As Compared To The Year Ended December 31, 2005
 
The following discussion of United’s results of operations compares United’s year ended 2006 operations activities, which includes the results of operations for United’s wholly-owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc., d/b/a Brownie’s Third Lung with 2005.
 
Net Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had revenues of $4,203,025 as compared to revenues of $2,935,869 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $1,267,156 or 43.16%. Overall tankfill system sales and hookah system sales were up in 2006. The Company attributes its hookah system sales increases to expanding its market beyond the scuba dive retailer and into sporting goods and boating retailers, its web-based training program that was rolled out in July 2005, and to concerted marketing and sales efforts, including a release in July 2005 of a brand new catalog featuring all our products. Tankfill system sales increases are mainly attributed to our continued presence at several boat shows where many new and old contacts were made and renewed, new OEM relationships with yacht-builders, and the release of the new catalog in July 2005 featuring all our products. In addition, we believe that the Brownie’s Third Lung name continues to grow in brand recognition, and in addition to gaining new customers each year, we see repeat business.

Cost of Net Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had cost of net revenues of $2,711,984 as compared with cost of revenues of $1,956,269 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $755,715 or 38.63%. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in expenses to support the increase in sales including an increase in material costs of $525,418, an increase in contract labor and expenses of $129,145, an increase in payroll costs of $50,698, and a net increase in various other costs of $50,454.
 
Gross Profit. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had a gross profit of $1,491,041 as compared to gross profit of $979,600 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $511,441 or 52.21%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in net revenues and a modest decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of sales for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Operating Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had total operating expenses of $1,014,448 as compared to total operating expenses of $999,226 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $15,222 or 1.52%.
 
Other (Income) Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2006 we had other income of $150,933 as compared to other expense of $14,898 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase in other income, or a decrease in other expense of expense of $165,831 or 1113.11%. This increase is primarily attributable to the $109,517 gain on the extinguishments of the secured convertible debentures, and an approximate $35,000 gain on the extinguishments of two payables that were no longer deemed due and payable as of the third quarter of 2006.
 
Interest Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had interest expense of $71,388 as compared to $85,992 for the year ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $14,604 or 16.98%. This decrease is primarily attributable to the satisfaction of the secured convertible debentures on June 2, 2006. Whereas in 2005 the Company had twelve months of interest on the secured convertible debentures, it had only five months in 2006.
 
Income Tax Benefit. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had a tax benefit of $9,655 as compared to $24,206 tax benefit at December 31, 2005, an decrease of $14,551 or 60.11%. This decrease is primarily attributable to the full utilization of the net operating loss carryforward in 2006 that in 2005 we projected would carry beyond 2006. The change in the projection was a result of higher than anticipated net income in 2006.
 
Net Income. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had net income of $565,793 as compared to a net loss of $96,310 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $662,103 or 687.47%. This net increase for the year ended December 31, 2006 is primarily attributable to the increase in net revenues, the modest decrease in the cost of revenues as a percentage of sales, and the relatively consistent operating expenses.
 
Liquidity And Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had cash and current assets of $937,384 and current liabilities of $764,914, or a current ratio of 1.22%.
 
On June 2, 2006, the Company fully satisfied the outstanding balance of its Secured Convertible Debentures issued on April 2, 2004 and July 23, 2004 in the original amounts of $250,000 and $125,000 respectively. As part of the redemption, Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. waived its right to issuance of warrants and reduced the redemption fee from 20% to 10.21%. In addition, the Redemption Agreement retired the Company’s existing Standby Equity Distribution that the Company never drew down against. The total amount paid Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. under the Redemption Agreement was $266,777 that included $210,500 redemption amount (principal amount), $34,777 accrued interest, and $21,500 redemption fee (10.21%) of principal amount. The Company recorded a $109,517 gain on extinguishment of the Secured Convertible Debentures attributable to the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion feature.

The Company anticipates that cash generated from operations should be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s contemplated cash requirements for its current operations for at least the next twelve months. The Company does not anticipate any significant purchases of equipment during fiscal year 2007. The number and level of employees at December 31, 2006 is adequate to maintain the Company's operations for at least the next 12 months.

Certain Business Risks
 
The Company is subject to various risks that may materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase the Company’s common stock. These are not the only risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of the Company’s common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
 
Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume And May Fluctuate Significantly
 
Our common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. Prior to this offering, there has been a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop. As a result, this could adversely affect our shareholders’ ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than common stock traded in an active public market. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.
 
Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be “Penny Stock,” Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements
 
Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Our common stock is covered by an SEC rule that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, which are generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.
 
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
 
We Depend On The Services Of Our Chief Executive Officer
 
Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of Robert M. Carmichael, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Carmichael has been instrumental in securing our existing financing arrangements. Mr. Carmichael is primarily responsible for the development of our technology and the design of our products. The loss of the services of Mr. Carmichael could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to recruit and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. We do not presently maintain a key-man life insurance policy on Mr. Carmichael.
 
We Require Additional Personnel And Could Fail To Attract Or Retain Key Personnel
 
In addition, our continued growth depends on our ability to attract and retain a Chief Financial Officer, a Chief Operations Officer, and additional skilled associates. We are currently utilizing the services of two professional consultants in the absence of a Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operations Officer. The loss of the services of these consultants prior to our ability to attract and retain a Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operations Officer may have a material adverse effect upon us. Also, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our existing personnel or attract additional qualified associates in the future.
 
Effective January 1, 2005, the Company entered into a two-year consulting agreement with one of the Consultants as referred to above for management and strategic services. The consulting agreement calls for a monthly consulting fee and provides for warrants to purchase 28,571,428 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The exercise price of the warrants is $.007 per share, which equaled the bid/ask price of the Company’s Common stock on January 1, 2005, the effective date of the agreement. The rights to exercise the warrants shall vest in four equal tranches of 7,142,857 current shares at six months, twelve months, eighteen months, and twenty-four months. The Company can terminate the Consulting Agreement at any time for “Cause” as defined in the Consulting Agreement. The Consultant may terminate the Consulting Agreement at any time for non-payment of monies due, and such condition remains uncured for a period of sixty days. On December 31, 2006 the consulting agreement expired. While a new agreement has not been formalized, the Consultant continues to be engaged in the same capacity on a month-to-month basis.

Our Failure To Obtain Intellectual Property And Enforce Protection Would Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business
 
Our success depends in part on our ability, and the ability of our Patent and Trademark Licensors, entities owned and controlled by Robert M. Carmichael, our President and Chief Executive Officer, to obtain and defend our intellectual property, including patent protection for our products and processes, preserve our trade secrets, defend and enforce our rights against infringement and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties, both in the United States and in other countries. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual proprietary rights, existing copyright, trademark and trade secret laws afford only limited protection.
 
Our industry is characterized by frequent intellectual property litigation based on allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights. Although we are not aware of any intellectual property claims against us, we may be a party to litigation in the future.
 
We May Be Unable To Manage Growth
 
Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.
 
Reliance On Vendors And Manufacturers
 
We deal with suppliers on an order-by order basis and have no long-term purchase contracts or other contractual assurances of continued supply or pricing. In addition, we have no long-term contracts with our manufacturing sources and compete with other companies for production facility capacity. Historically, we have purchased enough inventory of products or their substitutes to satisfy demand. However, unanticipated failure of any manufacturer or supplier to meet our requirements or our inability to build or obtain substitutes could force us to curtail or cease operations.
 
Dependence On Consumer Spending
 
The success of the products in the Brownie’s Third Lung and Brownie’s Tank Fill lines depend largely upon a number of factors related to consumer spending, including future economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as employment, business conditions, tax rates, and interest rates. In addition our opportunities are highly dependent upon the level of consumer spending on recreational marine accessories and dive gear, discretionary spending items. There can be no assurance that consumer spending in general will not decline, thereby adversely affecting our growth, net sales and profitability or that our business will not be adversely affected by future downturns in the economy, boating industry, or dive industry. If consumer spending on recreational marine accessories and dive gear declines, we could be forced to curtail or cease operations.
 
Government Regulations May Impact Us
 
The SCUBA industry is self-regulating; therefore, Brownie’s is not subject to government industry specific regulation. Nevertheless, Brownie’s strives to be a leader in promoting safe diving practices within the industry and is at the forefront of self-regulation through responsible diving practices. Brownie’s is subject to all regulations applicable to “for profit” companies as well as all trade and general commerce governmental regulation. All required federal and state permits, licenses, and bonds to operate its facility have been obtained. There can be no assurance that our operations will not be subject to more restrictive regulations in the future, which could force us to curtail or cease operations.
 
17

 
Bad Weather Conditions Could Have An Adverse Effect On Operating Results
 
Our business is significantly impacted by weather patterns. Unseasonably cool weather, extraordinary amounts of rainfall, or unseasonably rough surf, may decrease boat use and diving, thereby decreasing sales. Accordingly, our results of operations for any prior period may not be indicative of results of any future period.
 
Investors Should Not Rely On An Investment In Our Stock For The Payment Of Cash Dividends
 
We have not paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the future. Investors should not make an investment in our common stock if they require dividend income. Any return on an investment in our common stock will be as a result of any appreciation, if any, in our stock price.
 
The Manufacture And Distribution Of Recreational Diving Equipment Could Result In Product Liability Claims
 
We, like any other retailer, distributor and manufacturer of products that are designed for recreational sporting purposes, face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury. Such claims may include, among other things, that our products are designed and/or manufactured improperly or fail to include adequate instructions as to proper use and/or side effects, if any. We do not anticipate obtaining contractual indemnification from parties-supplying raw materials, manufacturing our products or marketing our products. In any event, any such indemnification if obtained will be limited by our terms and, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party. In the event that we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification, product liabilities relating to defective products could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial conditions, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
United Companies Corporation
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of United Companies Corporation as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of United Companies Corporation as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its activities and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of business - United Companies Corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and Nitrox Generation Systems, and scuba and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. The Company sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name of Trebor Industries, Inc.

The results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report re not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

History - United Companies Corporation (UCC) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on November 26, 2001, with authorized common stock of 250,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001.

On March 23, 2004, UCC consummated an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Trebor Industries, Inc., dba Brownies Third Lung, in exchange for 95,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“the UCC Transaction”). Prior to the UCC Transaction, UCC was a non-operating public shell company with no operations, nominal assets, accrued liabilities totaling $224,323 and 14,483,718 shares of common stock issued and outstanding; and Trebor Industries, Inc., dba Brownies Third Lung, was a manufacturer and distributor of hookah diving, and yacht based scuba air compressor and Nitrox Generation Systems from its factory in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The UCC Transaction is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. Inasmuch, the UCC Transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Trebor Industries, Inc., dba Brownies Third Lung, for the net monetary assets of a non-operational public shell company (UCC), accompanied by a recapitalization. UCC issued 95,000,000 shares of its common stock for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Trebor Industries, Inc., dba Brownies Third Lung. The accounting for the UCC Transaction is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except goodwill or other intangible assets will not be recorded. Accordingly, these financial statements are the historical financial statements of Trebor Industries, Inc., dba Brownies Third Lung. Trebor Industries, Inc., dba Brownies Third Lung, was incorporated in September 17, 1981. Therefore, these financial statements reflect activities from September 17, 1981 (Date of Inception for Trebor Industries, Inc., dba Brownies Third Lung) and forward.
 
Definition of fiscal year - The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2005 financial statement amounts to conform to the 2006 financial statement presentation.

Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Company’s management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when required.

UNITED COMPANIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)

Fixed assets - Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is primarily 3 to 5 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).

The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.

Revenue recognition - Revenues from product sales are recognized when the Company’s products are shipped or when service is rendered. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost of each contract. This method is used because management considers the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Change in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Revenue and costs incurred for time and material projects are recognized currently as the work is performed.

Product development costs - Product development expenditures are charged to expenses as incurred.

Advertising and marketing costs - The Company recognizes advertising expenses in accordance with Statement of Position 93-7 “Reporting on Advertising Costs.” Accordingly, the Company expenses the costs of producing advertisements at the time production occurs, and expenses the costs of communicating advertisements in the period in which the advertising space or airtime is used. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $47,402 and $49,974, respectively.

Additionally, returns of all other merchandise are subject to a 20% restocking fee as stated on each sales invoice.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)

Income taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Comprehensive income (loss) - The Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income (loss) equals comprehensive income (loss) for all periods.

Stock-based compensation - The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 revised that requires that the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.

The Company did not issue any stock, warrants or options to employees for compensation for year ended December 31, 2006.

Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature.

Earnings (loss) per common share - Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. All common stock equivalent shares were included in the computation at December 31, 2006 since their effect was dilutive.
 
New accounting pronouncements - In September 2006, FASB issued Financial Accounting Statement (FAS) 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of FAS 157 are effective for the Company on or before January 1, 2008. The provisions of this Statement shall be applied prospectively as of the date of adoption with a limited form of retrospective application to certain financial instruments that will result in cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of FAS 157 on its financial statements.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (“FIN 48”) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires the recognition of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its financial statements.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. The statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a voluntary change in accounting principle. The Statement requires retrospective application of prior periods’ financial statement of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of an accounting change on one of more individual periods presented, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied to the balances of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable and that a corresponding adjustment be made to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that period rather than being reported in an income statement. When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect of applying a change in accounting principle to all prior periods, this Statement requires that the new accounting principle be applied as if it were adopted prospectively from the earliest date practicable. The Statement carries forward the without change the guidance contained in APB opinion No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements, a change in accounting estimate, and guidance regarding justification of a change in accounting principle on the basis of preferability. The Statement is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2005. As allowed by the Statement, the Company adopted early application in June 2005 with no significant financial impact.

In March, 2005, the FASB issued Summary of Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143. The Interpretation clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within control of the entity. The Interpretation directs that the entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred - generally upon acquisition, construction, or development and (or) through the normal operation of the asset. The Interpretation further clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation acknowledging that in some cases this information may not be available. The Interpretation is effective no later than the end of the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005 (December 31, 2005 for calendar year enterprises). As encouraged by the FASB, the Company elected early application of this Interpretation in the year ended December 31, 2005 without significant financial impact.

6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

Revenues - The Company sells products to two entities owned by the brother of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Brownie’s Southport Divers, Inc. and Brownie’s Palm Beach Divers. Terms of sale are no more favorable than those extended to any of the Company’s other customers. Combined revenue from these entities for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, was $795,320 and $650,925, respectively. Accounts receivable from Brownie’s SouthPort Diver’s, Inc. and Brownie’s Palm Beach Divers at December 31, 2006 was $6,062 and $2,111, respectively.

Royalties - The Company has Non-Exclusive License Agreements with the Carleigh Rae Corporation (herein referred to as “CRC”), an entity that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has an ownership interest, to license product patents it owns. Based on the license agreements with CRC, the Company pays royalties ranging from $1.00 to $50.00 per licensed products sold, with rates increasing 5% annually. Also with CRC, the Company has a Non-Exclusive License Agreement to license a trademark of products owned by CRC. Based on the agreement, the Company will pay the entity $0.25 per licensed product sold, with rates increasing $0.05 annually.

The Company has Non-Exclusive License Agreements with 940 Associates, Inc. (herein referred to as “940A”), an entity owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to license product patents it owns. Previous license agreements in effect with 940A prior to 2005 were renegotiated and new agreements were entered into effective January 1, 2005. Under the terms of the license agreements, the Company pays 940A $2.00 per licensed product sold, rates increasing 5% annually. Also with 940A, the Company has an Exclusive License Agreement to license the trademark “Brownies Third Lung”, “Tankfill”, “Brownies Public Safety” and various other related trademarks as listed in the agreement. Based on this license agreement, the Company pays 940A 2.5% of gross revenues per quarter, with a 66% royalty fee discount period through December 31, 2006, after which time the royalty rate returns to 100%. In addition, the agreement provides for a $600 advertising credit per month in 2006 against the royalties due quarterly. At December 31, 2006, whatever cumulative portion of the advertising credit the Company did not use for advertising, if any, would become due and payable to 940A as royalty. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had used all of the advertising credit.

Total royalty expense for the above agreements for years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, was $45,770 and $20,415, respectively.

Lease Expense - The Company leases its facility from GKR Assoicates, LLC., an entity in which the Chief Executive Officer has an ownership interest.

9. ON-LINE TRAINING LIABILITY

Effective July 1, 2005, the Company began including on-line training certificates with all hookah units sold. The training certificates entitle the holder to an on-line interactive course at no additional charge to the holder. The number of on-line training certificates issued per unit is the same as the number of divers the unit as sold is designed to accommodate (i.e., a three diver unit configuration comes with three on-line training certificates). The certificates have an eighteen-month redemption life after which time they expire. The eighteen-month life of the certificates begins at the time the customer purchases the unit. The Company owes the on-line training vendor the agreed upon negotiated rate for all on-line certificates redeemed payable at the time of redemption. For certificates that expire without redemption, no amount is due the on-line training vendor. The Company has no historical data with regard to the percentage of certificates that will be redeemed versus those that will expire. Therefore, until the Company accumulates historical data related to the certificate redemption ratio, it will assume that 100% of certificates issued with unit sales will be redeemed. Accordingly, at the time a unit is sold, the related on-line training liability is recorded. The same liability is reduced as certificates are redeemed and the related payments are made to the on-line training vendor. In December 2006, certificates totaling $4,480 expired unused. Accordingly, the related liability was reversed and the amount recognized as other income for the year ended December 31, 2006.

11. SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On April 2, 2004, the Company issued a Secured Convertible Debenture to Cornell Capital Partners, LP in the principal amount of $250,000. The Secured Convertible Debenture was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share that was equal to the lesser of: (i) an amount equal to 120% of the closing bid price of our common stock as of the date of the convertible debenture or (ii) an amount equal to 80% of the average of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The Secured Convertible Debenture accrued interest at a rate of 5% per year and was convertible at the holder’s option. The Secured Convertible Debenture had a term of two (2) years. At the Company’s option, the Secured Convertible Debenture was payable in cash or convertible into shares of common stock unless converted earlier by the holder. Except after an event of default, as set forth in the Secured Convertible Debenture, Cornell Capital Partners, LP was not entitled to convert such debenture for a number of shares of common stock of the Company in excess of that number of shares which, upon giving effect to the debenture if such conversion would cause the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially held by such holder and its affiliated to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The Company had the right to redeem with fifteen (15) business days advance notice, a portion or all of the outstanding Secured Convertible Debenture. The redemption price would have been one hundred twenty (120%) of the redeemed amount plus accrued interest. In addition, if the Company availed itself of the redemption right, the Company would have, concurrent with the redemption, issued warrants to the holder at a rate of 50,000 per $100,000 redeemed on a pro-rata basis. The exercise price of the warrants would have been 120% of the closing bid price of common stock on the closing date. The warrants would have had “piggy-back” and demand registration rights and would have had a term of two (2) years from the closing date.

On July 23, 2004, the Company issued a second Secured Convertible Debenture to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. in the principal amount of $125,000. The Secured Convertible Debenture had a term of 2 years with all the same terms and conditions of the first secured convertible debenture issued on April 2, 2004.

On June 2, 2006, the Company fully satisfied the outstanding balance of the Secured Convertible Debentures. As part of the redemption, Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. waived its right to issuance of warrants and reduced the redemption fee from 20% to 10.21%. In addition, the Redemption Agreement retired the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. The total amount paid Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. under the Redemption Agreement was $266,777 that included $210,500 redemption amount (principal amount), $34,777 accrued interest, and $21,500 redemption fee (10.21%) of principal amount. The Company recorded a $109,517 gain on extinguishment of the Secured Convertible Debentures attributable to the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion feature.

13. STANDBY EQUITY DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
 
On April 2, 2004, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. In addition, the Company issued 3,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in April 2004 for commitment fees totaling $290,000 related to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. The commitment fees were amortized to additional paid in-capital over the term of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. As part of the redemption of the Secured Convertible Debentures, the Company terminated on June 2, 2006 the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement that was not due to retire until August 6, 2005.

14.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Consulting Agreement - The Company entered into a two-year consulting agreement effective January 1, 2005, for management and strategic services. The consulting agreement calls for payments of $6,000 per month and provides for warrants to purchase 28,571,428 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of the warrants is $.007 per share, which equaled the bid/ask price of the Company’s common stock on January 1, 2005, the effective date of the agreement. The right to exercise the warrants shall vest in four equal tranches of 7,142,857 common shares at six months, twelve months, eighteen months, and twenty-four months. The warrants expiration date is twenty-four months after the vest date. Further, the warrants have “piggy-back” registration rights and provide for either a cash or cashless exercise. The cashless exercise provision provides for a discount in the amount of shares provided at exercise based on a formula that takes into account as one of its factors the average of the closing sale price on the common stock for five trading days immediately prior to but not including the date of exercise. The Company can terminate the consulting agreement at any time for “Cause” as defined in the consulting agreement. The consultant may terminate the consulting agreement at any time for non-payment of monies due, and such condition remains uncured for a period of sixty days. If the Company terminates the consultant during the term of the agreement without “Cause”, the right to exercise all warrants will vest immediately. The Company calculated the total fair value of the stock options as $198,643 using the Black-Scholes model. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized $25,910 and $77,730, respectively, as compensation expense related to the stock options. As of December 31, 2006, the rights to exercise 28,571,428 warrants had vested under the consulting agreement and none of the warrants had been exercised.

Property Lease Agreement - The Company operates from a leased facility in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer has an ownership interest. The lease is non-cancelable and calls for an annual base rent of approximately $115,000 plus sales tax with a 10% base rent increase every 5 years. The lease expires in April 2013, and has three 5-year renewal options. In addition, up to $15,000 in real estate taxes is provided for in the base rental payment. Any real estate taxes over and above $15,000 are billed as additional rent to the Company and included in rent expense. For the years ended December 31, 2006, and 2005, total rent expense for the leased facility was $121,900 and $130,602, respectively. Additionally, the Company is responsible for all other operating expenses on the property such as insurance, repairs and maintenance, etc. as the lease is termed a triple net lease. The triple net expenses are recorded to the applicable expense accounts on the Company’s statement of operations.

Equipment Lease Agreement - The Company leases various office equipment under either a month-to-month basis or under an operating lease. Currently there is one non-cancelable operating lease for an office copier at a rate of $313 per month plus sales tax. The lease expires in August 2009.
