Item 1. Business.

Overview

Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (referred to herein as “the Company”, “we”, or “BWMG”), designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and nitrox generations systems, and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary, Trebor Industries, Inc., d/b/a Brownie’s Third Lung, a Florida corporation. The Company sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility located in Pompano Beach, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name of Trebor Industries, Inc. In August 2017 the Company organized Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary subsidiary (“BHP”). Through BHP we expect to establish sales, distribution and service centers for high pressure air and industrial gas systems in the dive, fire, CNG, military, scientific, recreational and aerospace industries. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (Pink) under the symbol “BWMG”. The Company’s website is www.Browniesmarinegroup.com . Information on the website and other company websites is not a part of this report.

In December 2017, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary bLU3, Inc. The Company was formed to develop and market an innovation electric shallow dive system that is completely portable to the user. As of December 31, there were as yet no operations in the new company.

Executive Summary and Business Strategy

The Company began in business making hookah diving systems in the late 1960s, and has grown into a niche manufacturing and distribution company with dive-oriented products loosely classified into three categories: Brownie’s Third Lung (low pressure hookah systems), Brownie’s Tankfill (high pressure and mixed gas systems), and Brownie’s Public Safety (first-responder/emergency personnel systems). The Company serves middle income boat owners, higher income yacht owners, and recreational, military and public safety divers.

The Company strives for meticulous attention to detail and high quality product innovation. We believe that within the boating/diving industry Brownie’s Marine Group is known as the industry standard for surface supplied “family” dive systems and Scuba Tankfill Systems for yacht diving. Brownie’s products and support services range from shallow-water dive systems and extend into deep-water with mixed gas support systems for exploration divers and submersibles/submarines.

1 

The Company holds numerous patents and is dedicated to designing and building innovative products. While Brownie’s Third Lung hookah diving units were the very first product sold by the Company, the Company recognized early on that there was a need for tank filling systems and unique diving applications. This realization was the catalyst for the addition of the two product categories: Brownie’s Tankfill and Brownie’s Public Safety. Brownie’s Tankfill designs, builds, and sells diving solutions from marine-ready tank filling compressors, Nitrox Makers™, complete dive lockers, and full submarine support systems. Brownie’s Public Safety features highly specialized diving gear for rescue and safety professionals and a unique automatic floatation device for body-armor that can also be integrated into foul weather jackets, traditional load bearing harnesses and other garments, such as the Garment Integrated Personal Flotation Device (GI-PFD) for use with body armor. The following paragraphs further describe the business and sales models for each of the categories of products sold.

Brownie’s Third Lung hookah systems have long been a dominant figure in gasoline powered, high-performance, and feature rich hookah systems. Taking full advantage of the proprietary compressor system, a complete series of traditional “fixed speed” electric compressors were developed for the built-in-boat market in 2005. Prior to 2010, Brownie’s did not offer for sale a floating battery powered hookah due to the inadequate performance/runtime afforded by previous technology. After years of inventing, testing and development, Brownie’s introduced multiple battery powered models in 2010 that we believe provide performance and runtimes as great as 300% better than the best devices previously on the market by utilizing a variable speed technology that controls battery consumption based on diver demand. Our variable-speed battery powered hookah system provides divers with gasoline-free all day shallow diving experiences.

Brownie’s Tankfill designs, manufactures, sells and installs Scuba tank fill systems for on-board yacht use under the brand “Yacht-Pro™”. Brownie’s Tankfill provides complete diving packages and dive training solutions for yachts. Brownie’s Tank Fill installs Nitrox systems which allow yacht owners to fill tanks with oxygen enriched air on board. The Yacht-Pro™ compressor systems offer a completely marine-prepared, VFD (variable frequency drive)-driven, automated alternative to other compressors on the market. Brownie’s Tankfill also designs complete dive lockers, mixed gas production and distribution systems, and the unique Nitrox Maker™. Nitrox is oxygen-enriched air, which reduces the effects of nitrogen on divers; it is the industry standard for dive professionals. The Nitrox Maker™ continuously generates the oxygen rich breathing gas directly from low-pressure air; no stored oxygen or other gases are required onboard. We believe a parallel product analogy to this device is the fresh water-maker that swept through the yachting industry over the last two-decades. While less yacht owners may opt for diving systems than fresh water-makers, there is a broad market potential for yacht owners that will want to have an uninterrupted supply of the premium breathing gas. Recently, an increase in commercial NitroxMaker™ system sales has been seen as more diving operations and operators are responding to the demand from their customers to provide nitrox at diving destinations. In addition to the traditional yacht-based NitroxMaker™ systems the Company has now established a full line of commercial products to meet this need, the NMCS series.

Brownie’s Public Safety designs, manufactures, distributes, and sells the RES (Rapid Entry System)/ HELO™ system, a complete mini SCUBA system designed for quick water rescues. The HELO™ system can be donned in less than 60 seconds and stored in a briefcase-size padded bag. Brownie’s Public Safety includes the GI-PFD™ (Garment Integrated Personal Flotation Device™) System for body armor flotation. This system can reliably support the distressed or unconscious wearer in a true life-saving position. This patented device addresses a need as law-enforcement, coast guard and military personnel are beginning to wear heavy (life-threatening in the water) body armor during waterborne patrol, inspection, and surveillance missions. The system helps the personnel float in heavy armor, hopefully saving their lives. The Company is introducing the RES device at the FDIC trade show/conference in Indianapolis in April of 2018.

Some of the Company’s Products in Depth

Surface Supplied Air Systems: 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 a depth of 90 feet/27 meters 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 for both its transport and use. 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 and the Variable Speed battery powered units mentioned above, 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.

2 

E-Reel and Built-in Battery Systems: The Company 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/46 meters 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 50 feet/15 meters. When the dive is complete, the hose is automatically recoiled and stowed by the simple activation of a switch.

Brownie’s Integrated Air Systems (BIAS™): Compressed air can have many uses on a boat. The E-Reel and Built in Battery Systems discussed above are just a few examples of BIAS. In addition to supplying air to divers, integrated air systems provide for the inflating fenders, opening of doors, blowing of air horns, flushing toilets and more.

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 feet/6 meters to 150 feet/46 meters 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 released 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, including, but not limited to, propeller clearing, overboard item retrieval and pool maintenance.

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 Yacht Pro™25 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. 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 divers 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 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 and Abdominal Aortic Tourniquet (AAT): 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 patented Drop Weight Cummerbelt with Egressor Add-on Kit identified RES as a great 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 enroute, saving valuable time and increasing the chances 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 do not accommodate a full set of SCUBA gear. The 13 cubic foot aluminum tank can provide up to 5-15 minutes in shallow water depths. The air cell remains stowed under the protective cover and can be partially inflated to achieve positive flotation. The cover is a specially designed break-away zipper which 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 and deploy from a helicopter. 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, the diver can more easily control his gear during deployment, further adding to the comfort and rescue performance capabilities.

RES and HELO will be re-introduced to the public safety market at the FDIC conference in Indianapolis in late April 2018.

First responders and medics in the field know that every second counts with junctional injuries and pelvic area bleeding. Each passing second can determine the difference between life and death. We have designed the Abdominal Aortic Tourniquet (AAT) which is designed for application in under one minute, and without specialized training.

In 2010, our design team became aware of potential traditional tourniquet deficiencies and potentially avoidable fatalities in the most demanding situations. Field medic professionals approached our team for a potential solution. After working on the problem, we created an alternative tourniquet resulting in US patents 9,782,182 and 9,351,737 recently issued.

We believe our ATT will address the issue of how to treat an incompressible hemorrhage that cannot be tended to by use of a traditional tourniquet in the leg, groin or pelvic area. Our tourniquet is designed for quick and efficient application, restricting blood loss and possibly preventing death from wounds that were previously untreatable.

Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services (LW Americas): Through Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company formed in 2017, we began operations to conduct business and build the brand name “LW Americas”, establishing sales, distribution and service centers for high pressure air and industrial gas systems in the dive, fire, CNG, military, scientific, recreational and aerospace industries. Since 1980, L&W has been supplying high-pressure compressors and the associated modules for the processing, storage and filling of air, inert gases, natural gas, biogas and hydrogen.

bLU3: bLU3 is a development stage company that designs next generation electric surface supplied air diving systems. bLU3 is a development stage line of 3 models targeting specific performance levels and price points – NEMO, NOMAD and NEPTUNE. Currently, NEMO and NOMAD are functional design prototypes. Subject to financing, we intend to commence NEMO and NOMAD production by 2019. We currently estimate that we require a minimum of $100,000 to complete the early engineering and prototype phases to be followed by an additional $100,000 to 200,000 in high efficiency tooling investments to drive per unit cost sufficiently low to open a broad consumer market. There are no assurances that we will receive funding or that funding will be received on a timely basis.

Diving and Boating Markets

The diving and boating markets are key to the expansion of the Brownie’s brand. Each of these industries has experienced growth over the past several decades, but we believe each industry also has significant weaknesses. The dive industry has focused on the initial certification of divers for revenue. According to industry data, follow up has been poor; causing many divers to quit diving after their first experience. When the Company’s working capital reaches a sufficient level, BWMG intends to implement a follow-up program, facilitate proper selection of equipment for divers, and institute mentoring programs.

We continue to work with boaters to enhance their on-water experience by exploiting the diving activities that they can easily add as an accessory to their investment in boating. Brownie’s OEM BIAS program will improve the overall value at the manufacturing level and consumer experience by elimination of waste during the design/build phase. They can blow their horns, open air-powered doors and dive directly from a BIAS package.

The Company’s main website is www.browniesmarinegroup.com. Additionally, many of our products are marketed on some of our customers’ websites. In addition to these websites, numerous other websites have quick links to the Company’s website. Our products are available both domestically and internationally. Internet sales and inquiries are also supported by the Company.

Distribution

Our products are distributed to our customers primarily by common carrier.

6 

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 as well as collaborating with others toward the goal of developing some of our own patentable products. Research and development costs for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, were $16,380 and $1,973, respectively.

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 160 active independent Brownie dealers. We retail our products to include, but not limited to, boat owners, recreational divers and commercial divers. The Company sells to three entities owned by the brother of Robert Carmichael, the Company’s Chief Executive officer, and three Company’s owned by the Chief Executive Officer. Combined sales to these six entities for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, represented 36.58% and 33.58%, respectively, of total net revenues.

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 which are typically purchased on a per order basis. Most materials are readily available from multiple vendors. Some materials require greater lead times than other materials. 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 fair prices, feature advantages, shopping convenience, the variety of available products, knowledgeable sales personnel, rapid and accurate fulfillment of orders, and prompt customer service. We currently recognize one significant competitor in hookah sales and a variety of competitors in high-pressure tankfill systems sales. Products from the hookah competitor and those from one of the tankfill competitors appear to be very similar to ours at first glance, but lack many of what we believe are our patently superior feature advantages. Brownie’s competitors in the high pressure tankfill market are typically focused on traditional dive stores and fire department air service. Several are large multi-national companies that do not offer adaptation to the yacht market or Nitrox integration; both areas that Brownie’s long-term investments rise to a level to suit the buyer’s needs.

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.

7 

Personnel

We currently have eighteen (18) full time employees and one (1) part time employee at our facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. Three (3) are classified as exempt sales and administrative or management, and sixteen (16) are classified as nonexempt 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.

Seasonality

The main product categories of our business, Brownie’s Third Lung and Brownie’s Tankfill, 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 Tankfill’s products is the fourth and first quarters of the year. Since the seasons complement one another, we are able to shift cross-trained factory and warehouse personnel between the two product categories as needed. Thus, the Company is able to avoid the down time normally associated with seasonal business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies. However, our principal risk factors are described under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 2. Properties.

Our Pompano Beach facilities are comprised of approximately 8,541 square feet of leased space the bulk of which is factory and warehouse space. Terms of the initial lease include a thirty-seven month term commencing on September 1, 2014; payment of $5,367 security deposit; base rent of approximately $4,000 per month over the term of the lease plus sales tax; and payment of 10.76% of annual operating expenses (i.e. common areas maintenance), which is approximately $2,000 per month subject to periodic adjustment. On December 1, 2016, we entered into an amendment to the initial lease agreement, commencing on October 1, 2017, extending the term for an additional eighty-four months, expiring September 30, 2024. The base rent was increased to $4,626 per month with a 3% annual escalation throughout the amended term. 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.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including matters relating to product liability claims. Such product liability claims sometimes involving wrongful death or injury have historically been covered by product liability insurance, which provided coverage for each claim up to $1,000,000. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company did not renew its product liability insurance since the renewal policy amount was cost prohibitive. As of August 15, 2017, the Company has obtained Product Liability Insurance, although prior claims are not covered under the new policy. The policy is prepaid through its term and will remain in effect until its renewal date of August 14, 2018.

As previously disclosed, the Company, Trebor and other third parties, are each named as co-defendants under an action filed in March 2015 in the Circuit Court of Broward County under Case No. CACE15-03238 by the Estate of Ernesto Rodriguez, claiming wrongful death and products liability resulting in the decedent’s drowning death while using a Brownie’s Third Lung product. This claim falls outside the Company’s period of insurance coverage. Plaintiff has claimed damages exceeding $1,000,000. A default judgment was entered against Trebor in 2015 due to its failure to timely respond to the complaint. The Company has obtained different legal representation in this matter and attempted to have the default set aside. On November 2, 2016, the court granted plaintiff’s motion for sanctions against our company for frivolous litigation relating to our attempt to have the matter dismissed and granted the plaintiff’s motion to strike our motion for summary judgment due to our initial default. The Company believes the claim to be a Workers Compensation claim relating exclusively against other non-affiliated defendants and without merit, and will aggressively defend this action and to appeal the default judgment. In the event Trebor is unable to overturn the default judgment and the defendants are determined to be at fault, we would seek to allocate damages among all of the other parties, including the plaintiff. At this time, the amount of any loss, or range of loss, cannot be reasonably estimated due to the undetermined validity of any claim or claims made by plaintiff and the mitigating factors among the parties. Therefore, the Company has not recorded reserves and contingent liabilities related to this matter. However, in the future, as the case progresses, the Company may be required to record a contingent liability or reserve for these matters.

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.

Information not required by smaller reporting company.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (referred to herein as “the Company”, “we”, or “BWMG”), designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and nitrox generations systems, and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary, Trebor Industries, Inc., d/b/a Brownie’s Third Lung, a Florida corporation. The Company sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility located in Pompano Beach, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name of Trebor Industries, Inc. In August 2017, the Company organized Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary subsidiary (“BHP”). Through BHP we expect to establish sales, distribution and service centers for high pressure air and industrial gas systems in the dive, fire, CNG, military, scientific, recreational and aerospace industries. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (Pink) under the symbol “BWMG”. The Company’s website is www.Browniesmarinegroup.com . Information on the website is not a part of this report.

In December 2017, the Company formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary bLU3, Inc. The Company was formed to develop and market an innovation electric shallow dive system that is completely portable to the user. As of December 31, 2017 there were as yet no operations in the new company.

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:

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.

Principles of Consolidation -The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BWMG and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc., Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. and bLU3, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

10 

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2016 financial statement amounts to conform to the 2017 financial statement presentation.

Cash and equivalents – Only highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

Going Concern –The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. Although profitable for the years ended December 31, 2016, we incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $248,744. The Company had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017 of $8,879,793.

Because the Company believes that existing operational cash flow may not be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. The Company has issued a number of convertible debentures as an interim measure to finance working capital needs and may continue to raise additional capital through sale of restricted common stock or other securities, and obtaining some short term loans.

If BWMG fails to raise additional funds when needed, or does not have sufficient cash flows from sales, it may be required to scale back or cease operations, liquidate assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of all of our products to wholesale and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts are estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge.

Inventory – Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 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 indicated.

Property and equipment and leasehold improvements – Property and equipment and leasehold improvement is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 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. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no ongoing contracts accounted for using the percentage of completion method.

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 as the work is performed.

11 

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

Advertising and marketing costs – The Company expenses the costs of producing advertisements and marketing material at the time production occurs, and expenses the costs of communicating advertisements and participating in trade shows in the period in which they occur.

Customer deposits – unearned revenue and returns policy – The Company typically takes a minimum 50% deposit against custom and large tankfill systems prior to ordering and/or building the systems. The remaining balance due is payable upon delivery, shipment, or installation of the system. There is no provision for cancellation of custom orders once the deposit is accepted, nor return of the custom ordered product. Additionally, returns of all other merchandise are subject to a 15% restocking fee as stated on each sales invoice. The Company provides our customers with an industry standard one year warranty on systems sold. Historically, the cost of our warranty policy has been immaterial and no reserve has been established.

Income taxes – The Company accounts for its income taxes under the assets and liabilities method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Comprehensive income – The Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income equals comprehensive income for all periods presented.

Stock-based compensation – The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued on the effective date of the agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which includes determination of the fair value of the share-based transaction. The fair value is determined through use of the quoted stock price.

Beneficial conversion features on convertible debentures – A beneficial conversion feature arises when the conversion price of a convertible instrument is below the per share value of the underlying stock into which it is convertible. The fair value of the stock upon which to base the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) computation has been determined through use of the quoted stock price.

12 

Fair value of financial instruments – Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company. Management considers observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, provided by multiple, independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Company’s perceived risk of that investment.

At December 31, 2017, and 2016, the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related parties, customer deposits and unearned revenue, royalties payable – related parties, other liabilities, other liabilities and accrued interest – related parties, notes payable, notes payable – related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Earnings 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 dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.

New accounting pronouncements

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740) amending previous guidance on accounting and disclosures for income taxes addressing changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). This standard addresses the recognition of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets following passage of the Act. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows or financial condition.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” ASU 2016- provides guidance regarding the classification of certain items within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, other than presentation, or financial condition.

13 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606): identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. The adoption of ASU 2016-10 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, or financial condition.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which relates to the accounting for employee share-based payments. This standard addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASC 2016-09 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU No. 2015-11 does not apply to inventory measurement using the last-in, last-out (LIFO) or retail methods. ASU No. 2015-11 applies to all other inventory measurement methods, which includes first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. Previously, inventory valuation was at the lower of cost or fair market value. This ASU changes the valuation to lower or cost of net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of the business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted. The Company opted for early adoption of ASU 2015-11 this period with no impact to financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company updated its consolidated financial statements to reflect inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

The Company believes there was no other new accounting guidance adopted, but not yet effective that either has not already been disclosed in prior reporting periods or is relevant to the readers of its financial statements.

The following 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 these estimates. 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.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2017 as Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2016

Net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2017, total revenues declined approximately 10% with net revenues of $2,028,589 as compared to net revenues of $2,264,134 for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $235,545. Sales to related parties remained relatively stable between the periods totaling $742,018 and $760,356 for the same periods, respectively. This decrease was due in large part to the loss of two of our larger customers during the year. This change in customer base is not believed to be attributable to any particular identifiable sales trend or lack of demand for our growing product line but rather normal fluctuations in a competitive in market.

Cost of net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had cost of net revenues of $1,423,421 as compared with cost of net revenues of $1,664,681 for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $241,260, or 14%. This was primarily attributable to the overall drop in net revenues between the periods including the related decrease in materials and direct labor costs.

Gross profit. Gross profit between years remained relatively unchanged. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had a gross profit of $605,168 as compared to gross profit of $599,453 for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $5,715, or approximately 1%.

Operating expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had operating expenses of $820,236 as compared to operating expenses of $617,226, an increase of $203,010 or approximately 33%. This increase is predominantly the result of an increase in administrative salaries, including $77,508 to our previously uncompensated Chief Executive with increases in associated taxes, insurance and benefits between the periods, $75,000 in fair value of shares provided to directors during the year and an increase in product liability insurance costs.

Other (income) expense, net. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had other (income) expense, net of an expense of $33,676 as compared to other income, net of $247,799 for the prior year. This account is comprised of other (income), net and interest expense. The overall difference is primarily comprised of the $93,459 debt settlement of a convertible debenture and its associated interest and $141,219 derived from the cancellation of incentive bonuses in the second quarter of 2016. There was no similar transaction in 2017. Interest expense increased $6,277 between the periods as a result of an increase in convertible debt between the periods.

Net (Loss) income. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a net loss of $248,744 compared to net income of $230,026 in the prior year. It should be noted that a significant portion of the income recognized in 2016 was attributable to a gain on debt settlement and cancellation of the Company’s incentive bonus program in 2016 with both transactions being of a non-recurring nature. Absent this transaction in 2016, the Company would have recorded a small loss in the prior year. The balance of the increase in loss incurred in 2017 was primarily attributable to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had current assets (primarily consisting of inventory and prepaid expenses) of $1,285,546 and current liabilities of $1,021,550 or a current ratio of 1.3 to 1, representing a working capital balance of $263,996. At December 31, 2016, the Company had current assets of $1,017,870 and current liabilities of $914,885, or a current ratio of 1.1 to 1.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. Although profitable for the year ended December 31, 2016, we incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $248,744. The Company had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017 of $8,879,793.

15 

Because the Company believes that existing operational cash flow may not be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will continue to raise additional funds as needed and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. The Company has issued a number of convertible debentures as an interim measure to finance working capital needs and may continue to raise additional capital through sale of restricted common stock or other securities or obtaining short term loans.

If the Company fails to raise additional funds when needed, or does not have sufficient cash flows from sales, it may be required to scale back or cease operations, liquidate assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities totaled ($326,760) and $75,192 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The cash used in operations in 2017 of $326,760 was primarily the result of a net loss from operations of $248,744, coupled with an increase in inventory levels of $150,366, an increase in prepaid expenses of $167,251 and a reduction in current liabilities of $34,854. These uses of cash were off-set by $100,000 in fair value of common shares issued as compensation and an increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and customer deposits totaling $134,832. Cash flows provided by operations in 2016 primarily were as a result of net income of $230,026, shares issued for payroll compensation of $36,000, an decrease in accounts receivable of $58,448, and in increase in accounts payable of $65,070 These sources were reduced by a non-cash gain on the cancellation of debt of $234,678 and a change in other current liabilities and related party royalties payable totaling $143,243.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities totaled $285,909 and ($17,678) at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During 2017, the company received net proceeds from a Unit Offering of $192,042 and the sales of two convertible notes totaling $100,000, these sources being offset by $6,133 in debt servicing. Net cash used in financing activities in 2016 primarily reflects principle debt servicing on notes payable and notes payable – related parties of $17,206.

From October, 2017 through April, 2018, the Company received gross proceeds of $242,042 pursuant to the sale of 4,827,003 Units consisting of four shares of common stock and one two year common stock purchase warrant exercisable at $0.0115 per share. The price per Unit was $0.046.

In December 2017, the Company entered into a $50,000, 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, due December 1, 2018, subject to extension. Interest is payable monthly. The note is secured with such assets of the Company equal to the principal and accrued interest, and is guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc. and Brownie’s High Pressor Compressor Services, Inc. and the personal guarantee of Robert M. Carmichael, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The conversion price under the note range from $0.02 per share if converted in the first year to up to $0.125 if converted in year five. The lender may convert at any time until the debenture plus accrued interest is paid in full. Various other fees and penalties apply if payments or conversions are not done timely by the Company. The lender will be limited to maximum conversion of 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any one time.

In December 2017, the Company entered into a $50,000, 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, due December 4, 2018, subject to extension. Interest is payable monthly.

Risk Factors

The Company is subject to various risks that may materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. These may not be the only risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently think are immaterial may also impair our future business operations. 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 ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing and achieving sufficient sales levels.

The Company recorded a loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $248,744 and had an accumulated deficit of $8,879,793 at December 31, 2017. The Company is behind on payments due for matured convertible debentures, notes payable, and certain vendor payables. The Company is working out all matters of delinquency on a case by case basis. However, there can be no assurance that cooperation the Company has received thus far will continue. Our continued existence is dependent upon generating working capital and obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing. Because of our historical losses, we may not have working capital to permit us to remain in business through the end of the year, without improvements in our cash flow from operations or new financing. Working capital limitations continue to impinge on our day-to-day operations.

The optional conversion features of a series of convertible debentures issued by the Company could require the Company to issue a substantial number of shares of common stock, which will cause dilution to the Company’s stockholders and a potentially negative effect on our stock price.

During 2011 and 2012, the Company issued convertible debentures to several lenders and other third parties which remain outstanding and are past due. In December 2017, the Company issued an additional two secured convertible debentures for $50,000 each. At December 31, 2017 the outstanding principal balance of these debentures, net of related unamortized debt discount, was $389,803. The debentures convert under various conversion formulas, which may be at a significant discount to market price of our common stock. The conversion of any of the debentures will result in the issuance of a significant number of shares of our common stock which will cause dilution to our existing shareholders. Furthermore, the conversion at a significant discount to the market price of our common stock may have a negative effect on our stock price.

We have secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 outstanding which mature in December 2018, unless extended at the discretion of the lenders, and we may not have available capital to satisfy such notes when they becomes due.

The secured notes are collateralized by all of our assets and guarantees by our operating subsidiaries and chief executive officer. We currently do not have sufficient cash to satisfy the notes when it becomes due and there are no assurances we will be able to raise the funds if necessary.

Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and may fluctuate significantly.

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets. There is 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 company is a voluntary filer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the event that we cease reporting under the Exchange Act, investors would have limited information available to them about the company.

While we are subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we do not have a class of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. To the extent that our duty to file Exchange Act reports has automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as a voluntary filer, we may elect to cease reporting under the Exchange Act at such time which would limit the information available to investors and shareholders about the company.

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 to assist the Chief Executive Officer with finance and operations. The loss of the services of these consultants prior to our ability to attract and retain a Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operations Officer or further assistance in these areas 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.

Our failure to obtain and enforce intellectual property protection may 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.

18 

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 inventories 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 our business depends largely upon a number of factors related to consumer spending, including current and future economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as employment, business conditions, tax rates, and interest rates. In times of economic uncertainty, consumers tend to defer expenditures for discretionary items, which effects demand for our products. Any significant deterioration in overall economic conditions that diminishes consumer confidence or discretionary income can reduce our sales and adversely affect our financial results. The impact of weakening consumer credit markets; layoffs; corporate restructurings; higher fuel prices; declines in the value of investments and residential real estate; and increases in federal and state taxation can all negatively affect our results. There can be no assurance that in this type of environment consumer spending will not decline, thereby adversely affecting our growth, net sales and profitability or that our business will not be adversely affected by continuing or future downturns in the economy, boating industry, or dive industry. If declines in consumer spending on recreational marine accessories and dive gear are other than temporary, 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.

Bad weather 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 and we have historically lacked product liability insurance.

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. While we currently have product liability insurance, we are subject to a claim that arose during a period that the Company did not have product liability coverage. 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.

19 

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

Our management has previously determined that we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. For a detailed description of these material weaknesses and our remediation efforts and plans, see “Part II — Item 9A — Controls and Procedures.” If the result of our remediation of the identified material weaknesses is not successful, or if additional material weaknesses are identified in our internal control over financial reporting, our management will be unable to report favorably as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and/or our disclosure controls and procedures, and we could be required to further implement expensive and time-consuming remedial measures and potentially lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports which could have an adverse effect on our stock price and potentially subject us to litigation.

Our Chief Executive Officer beneficially owns approximately 60% of the combined voting power of our Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and is able to control voting issues and actions that may not be beneficial or desired by minority shareholders.

As of April 5, 2018, Robert Carmichael, our only executive officer, beneficially owns approximately 18% of the combined voting power of the Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a single class and will control the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control.

Our consolidated financial statements appear beginning at page F-1.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of Robert Carmichael, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial (and principal accounting) Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2017. Based upon that evaluation and the identification of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as described below under “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,” the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

20 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company. Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the 2013 criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Board of Directors

Each director is elected at our annual meeting of stockholders and holds office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until his successor is elected and qualified. If any director resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve out his or her term, or if the Board increases the number of directors, the Board may fill any vacancy by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum exists. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor. Vacancies occurring by reason of the removal of directors without cause may only be filled by vote of the stockholders. Our Board of Directors may consist of up to five (5) seats.

22 

Board leadership structure and board’s role in risk oversight

The board of directors is comprised of one member of our management and one independent director. Given the size of our company, our Board believes the current leadership structure is appropriate for our company. As our company grows, we expect to expand our board of directors through the appointment of independent directors. Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face and have responsibility for the oversight of risk management in their dual roles as directors.

Committees of the board of directors; stockholder nominations; audit committee financial expert

We have not established any committees comprised of members of our board of directors, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, or any committee performing similar functions. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our board of directors as a whole.

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our board of directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees, nor do we have a policy regarding director diversity. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors. Given the early stage of our business, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees. In considering a director nominee, it is likely that our Board will consider the professional and/or educational background of any nominee with a view towards how this person might bring a different viewpoint or experience to our Board.

None of our directors is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member of the audit committee or board of directors who:

● understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements;

● is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;

● has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements;

● understands internal controls over financial reporting; and

● understands audit committee functions.

Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee of our board of directors.

Compensation of Directors

During 2017 our board of directors adopted a compensation policy for our directors under which directors received 2,000,000 shares of common stock for serving on the board during 2017. The following table provides information concerning the compensation paid to our independent directors for their services as members of our board of directors for 2017. For awards of stock, the aggregate grant date fair value is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The information in the following table excludes any reimbursement of out-of-pocket travel and lodging expenses which we may have paid:

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a formal code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, all other officers, directors and employees. The code of ethics was provided as an exhibit to the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company undertakes to provide to any person without charge, upon written request to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, a copy of the code of ethics.

Shareholder Communications

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding communications with our Board, shareholders may communicate with the Board by writing to us at Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., 3001 NW 25 ^th Avenue, Suite 1, Pompano Beach, Florida 33069, Attention: Mr. Robert Carmichael. Shareholders who would like their submission directed to a member of the Board may so specify, and the communication will be forwarded, as appropriate.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

The following table shows all the cash compensation paid by the Company, as well as certain other compensation paid or accrued, during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 to the Company’s named executive officer. No restricted stock awards, long-term incentive plan payouts or other types of compensation, other than the compensation identified in the chart below, was paid to this executive officer during these fiscal years. Executive compensation excludes shares of common stock received for serving on the Company’s board of directors and certain transactions, which are disclosed under “Item 13.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by: (1) all persons who are beneficial owners of five percent (5%) or more of any class of our voting securities; (2) each of our directors; (3) each of our Named Executive Officers; and (4) all current directors and executive officers as a group.

Except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock held by them. Robert Carmichael owns 100% of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, each share of which has the number of votes 250 per share. The preferred stock votes with the Company’s common stock, except as otherwise required under Florida law. Accordingly, Mr. Carmichael owns approximately 60% of the combined voting power of the Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a single class and will control the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control.

Applicable percentage ownership in the following table is based on 102,801,412 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 5, 2018. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of April 5, 2018, are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise disclosed these persons’ address is c/o Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., 3001 NW 25 ^th Avenue, Suite 1, Pompano Beach, FL 33069.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

The Company sells products to Brownie’s Southport Divers, Inc., Brownie’s Palm Beach Divers, and Brownie’s Yacht Toys, owned by the brother of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Terms of sale are no more favorable than those extended to any of the Company’s other customers with similar sales volumes. Combined net revenues from these entities for years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, totaled $738,506 and $750,338, respectively. Accounts receivable from Brownie’s SouthPort Diver’s, Inc., Brownie’s Palm Beach Divers, and Brownie’s Yacht Toys at December 31, 2017, was $27,381, $10,763, and $13,227, respectively. Accounts receivable from Brownie’s SouthPort Diver’s, Inc., Brownie’s Palm Beach Divers, and Brownie’s Yacht Toys at December 31, 2016, was $40,012, $5,809, and $18,410, respectively.

The Company sells products to Brownie’s Global Logistics, LLC. (“BGL”), 940 Associates, Inc. and 3D Buoy, LLC, fully owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Terms of sale are more favorable than those extended to BWMG’s regular customers, but no more favorable than those extended to Brownie’s strategic partners. Terms of sale to BGL approximate cost or include a nominal margin. These terms are consistent with those extended to Brownie’s strategic partners. Strategic partner terms on a per order basis include promotion of BWMG’s technologies and “Brownie’s” brand, offered only on product or services not offered for resale, and must provide for reciprocal terms or arrangements to BWMG on strategic partners’ product or services. BGL is fulfilling the strategic partner terms by providing exposure for BWMG’s technologies and “Brownie’s” brand in the yachting and exploration community world-wide through its operations. Combined net revenues from these three entities for years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, were $3,512 and $9,130, respectively. Accounts receivable from BGL, 940 Associates and 3D Buoy totaled $4,043 and $9,819 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company has Exclusive License Agreements with 940 Associates, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “940A”), an entity owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to license the trademark “Brownies Third Lung”, “Tankfill”, “Brownies Public Safety” and various other related trademarks as listed in the agreement. For this license agreement the Company pays 940A 2.5% of gross revenues per quarter. Total royalty expense for the above agreements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, as disclosed on the face of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations totaled $54,745 and $56,057, respectively. In November 2016, the Company entered into a conversion agreement under which the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of restricted common stock in satisfaction of $88,850 past due and payable to 940A under that certain Exclusive License Agreement by and between the parties as of March 1, 2017. As of the date of the conversion agreement, the Company was more than 31 months in arrears on its royalty payments totaling approximately $151,000. In addition, 940A agreed to forebear on any default under the License Agreement due to the Company’s remaining past due amount for a period of three months from the effective date of the conversion agreement. The shares issued were valued at $0.008885 per share, the closing price of the stock on the effective date of the conversion agreement.

On March 1, 2017, the Company and 940A entered into an additional conversion agreement. Under the agreement the Company issued 940A 4,587,190 shares of restricted common stock in satisfaction of $63,303, which represented all remaining past due and payable amounts to 940A under the Exclusive License Agreement. As of the date of the additional conversion agreement the Company was more than 3 months in arrears on royalty payments due under the Exclusive License Agreement. The shares were issued at a price per share of $0.0138, which exceeded the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Markets on the date immediately preceding the closing. No default notice had been received prior to the conversion agreements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the each of years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit, recurring losses, and expects continuing future losses, and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/RBSM LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies

Description of business –Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the “Company,” “our” or “BWMG”) designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and nitrox generation systems, scuba and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. and manufactures and sells high pressure air and industrial gas compressor packages through its wholly owned subsidiary Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. The Company sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name of Trebor Industries, Inc. and Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (Pink) under the symbol “BWMG”.

On August 7, 2017, Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Lenhardt & Wagner GmbH (“L&W”), a German-based company engaged in the development, manufacturing and sales of high pressure air and industrial gas compressor packages. Under the terms of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, we were appointed the exclusive distributor of L&W’s complete product line in North America and South America, including the Caribbean (the “Territory”). Pursuant to an intercompany assignment, Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc., our newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary (“BHP”), is party to the agreement. Through BHP we expect to conduct business and build the brand name “L&W Americas/LWA”, establishing sales, distribution and service centers for high pressure air and industrial gas systems in the dive, fire, CNG, military, scientific, recreational and aerospace industries. Our goal will be to build a network of jobbers, dealers, installers and high-pressure compressor distributors throughout the Territory by leveraging our know-how, brand awareness, complimentary products and creating sustainable distribution and core product OEM integration relationships.

Basis of Presentation – The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Definition of fiscal year – The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Principles of Consolidation -The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BWMG and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc., Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. and bLU3, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 2016 financial statement amounts and disclosures to conform to the 2017 financial statement presentation.

Cash and equivalents – Only highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

Going Concern –The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. Although profitable for the year ended December 31, 2016, we incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $248,744. The Company has an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017 of $8,879,793.

 F-8

Because the Company believes that existing operational cash flow may not be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will continue to raise additional funds as needed and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. The Company has issued a number of common shares and convertible debentures as an interim measure to finance working capital needs and may continue to raise additional capital through sale of restricted common stock or other securities or obtaining short term loans.

If BWMG fails to raise additional funds when needed, or does not have sufficient cash flows from sales, it may be required to scale back or cease operations, liquidate assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of all of our products to wholesale and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts are estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge. The allowances for doubtful accounts totaled $16,848 and $18,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Inventory – Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 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 indicated.

Property and equipment and leasehold improvements – Property and equipment and leasehold improvement is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or term of the lease, which are 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, when applicable, 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. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no ongoing contracts accounted for using the percentage of completion method.

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 as the work is performed.

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

 F-9

Advertising and marketing costs – The Company expenses the costs of producing advertisements and marketing material at the time production occurs, and expenses the costs of communicating advertisements and participating in trade shows in the period in which they occur. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, totaled $42,959 and $5,800, respectively.

Research and development costs – The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company incurred research and development costs of $16,380 and $1,973, respectively.

Customer deposits and unearned revenue and returns policy – The Company typically takes a minimum 50% deposit against custom and large tankfill systems prior to ordering and/or building the systems. The remaining balance due is payable upon delivery, shipment, or installation of the system. There is no provision for cancellation of custom orders once the deposit is accepted, nor return of the custom ordered product. Additionally, returns of all other merchandise are subject to a 15% restocking fee as stated on each sales invoice. The Company provides our customers with an industry standard one year warranty on systems sold. Historically, the cost of our warranty policy has been immaterial and no reserve has been established. Customer deposits and unearned revenue totaled $97,249 and $31,577 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Income taxes – The Company accounts for its income taxes under the assets and liabilities method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, they would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Comprehensive income – The Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income equals comprehensive income for all periods presented.

Stock-based compensation – The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued on the effective date of the agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which includes determination of the fair value of the share-based transaction. The fair value is determined through use of the quoted stock price.

 F-10

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company converted accrued liabilities of principal and interest to related parties to stock totaling $63,303 and $570, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued shares for employee compensation with a fair value of $36,000.

Beneficial conversion features on convertible debentures – A beneficial conversion feature arises when the conversion price of a convertible instrument is below the per share value of the underlying stock into which it is convertible. The fair value of the stock upon which to base the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) computation has been determined through use of the quoted stock price.

Fair value of financial instruments – Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company. Management considers observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, provided by multiple, independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Company’s perceived risk of that investment.

At December 31, 2017, and 2016, the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customer deposits and unearned revenue, royalties payable – related parties, other liabilities, and notes payable, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Earnings 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 dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. Potentially dilutive shares included in dilutive earnings per share totaled 34,929,502 at  December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2017, 61,512,122 potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These shares reflect shares potentially issuable under convertible note agreements during the period ending December 31, 2017.

New accounting pronouncements

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740) amending previous guidance on accounting and disclosures for income taxes addressing changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). This standard addresses the recognition of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets following passage of the Act. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows or financial condition.

 F-11

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” ASU 2016-15 provides guidance regarding the classification of certain items within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, other than presentation, or financial condition.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606) identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. The adoption of ASU 2016-10 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, or financial condition.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which relates to the accounting for employee share-based payments. This standard addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASC 2016-09 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU No. 2015-11 does not apply to inventory measurement using the last-in, last-out (LIFO) or retail methods. ASU No. 2015-11 applies to all other inventory measurement methods, which includes first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. Previously, inventory valuation was at the lower of cost or fair market value. This ASU changes the valuation to lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of the business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted. The Company opted for early adoption of ASU 2015-11 with no impact to financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company updated its consolidated financial statements to reflect inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

The Company believes there was no other new accounting guidance adopted, but not yet effective that either has not already been disclosed in prior reporting periods or is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.

In addition, 940A agreed to forebear on any default under the License Agreement due to the Company’s remaining past due amount for a period of three months from the effective date of the conversion agreement. The shares issued were valued at $0.008885 per share, the closing price of the stock on the effective date of the conversion agreement. No default notice had been received prior to the conversion agreements.

On March 1, 2017, the Company and 940A entered into a conversion agreement. Under the agreement the Company issued 940A 4,587,190 shares of restricted common stock in satisfaction of $63,303, which represented all past due and payable amounts to 940A under that certain Exclusive License Agreement by and between the parties as of March 1, 2017. As of the date of the agreement the Company was more than 3 months in arrears on royalty payments due under the Exclusive License Agreement.

(1)	On May 3, 2011, the Company borrowed $300,000 in exchange for a convertible debenture. The Debenture bears 10% interest per annum. The lender may at any time convert any portion of the debenture to common shares at a 30% discount of the “Market Price” of the stock based on the average of the previous ten (10) days weighted average closing prices on the date prior to the notice of conversion. The Company may prepay the debenture plus accrued interest at any time before maturity. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company the funds, the Company granted the lender 300,000 and 600,000 warrants at $337.50 and $472.50 per share, respectively. As a result, the Company allocated fair market value (“FMV”) to both the BCF and to the warrants, or $206,832, which was recorded as a discount against the debenture. The Company accreted the discount to interest expense. The Company recognized the FMV of the related warrants as $45,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
(2)	The Company borrowed $10,000 in exchange for a convertible debenture. The lender at their option may convert all or part of the note plus accrued interest into common stock at a price of thirty percent (30%) discount as determined from the average four (4) highest closing bid prices over the preceding five (5) trading days. The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debenture at $4,286, which was accreted to interest expense over the period of the note.
(3)	The Company entered into three new debenture agreements upon sale/assignment of the original lenders. Because the stated terms of the new debenture agreement and principal amounts were significantly different from the original debenture, including analysis of value of the beneficial conversion feature at the assignment/purchase date, the transactions are treated as extinguishment of the old debentures and recorded as new for accounting purposes.
	The conversion price under the debentures is $0.37125 and the lender may convert at any time until the debenture plus accrued interest is paid in full. Various other fees and penalties apply if payments or conversions are not done timely by the Company.

12. INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“the Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a United States corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

Management is in the process of reviewing “the Act”, but has not completed its analysis at the statement date.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including matters relating to product liability claims. Such product liability claims sometimes involving wrongful death or injury have historically been covered by product liability insurance, which provided coverage for each claim up to $1,000,000. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company did not renew its product liability insurance since the renewal policy amount was cost prohibitive. As of August 15, 2017, the Company has obtained Product Liability Insurance, although prior claims are not covered under the new policy. The policy is already prepaid and will remain in effect until its renewal date of August 14, 2018.

As previously disclosed, the Company and Trebor were co-defendants under an action filed by an individual in September 2013 in the Circuit Court of Broward County claiming personal injury resulting from use of a Brownie’s Third Lung. Plaintiff claimed damages in excess of $1,000,000. This matter was settled during the three months ended September 30, 2016 by the Company’s insurance carrier at no additional cost to the Company.

In addition, as previously disclosed, the Company, Trebor and other third parties, are each named as a co-defendants under an action filed in March 2015 in the Circuit Court of Broward County under Case No. CACE15-03238 by the Estate of Ernesto Rodriguez, claiming wrongful death and products liability resulting in the decedent’s drowning death while using a Brownie’s Third Lung product. This claim falls outside the Company’s period of insurance coverage. Plaintiff has claims damages exceeding $1,000,000. A default judgment was entered against Trebor in 2015 due to its failure to timely respond to the complaint. The Company has obtained different legal representation in this matter and attempted to have the default set aside. On November 2, 2016, the court granted plaintiff’s motion for sanctions against our company for frivolous litigation relating to our attempt to have the matter dismissed and granted the plaintiff’s motion to strike our motion for summary judgment due to our initial default. The Company believes the claim to be a Workers Compensation claim relating exclusively against other non-affiliated defendants and without merit, and will aggressively defend this action and to appeal the default judgment. In the event Trebor is unable to overturn the default judgment and the defendants are determined to be at fault, we would seek to allocate damages among all of the other parties, including the plaintiff. At this time, the amount of any loss, or range of loss, cannot be reasonably estimated due to the undetermined validity of any claim or claims made by plaintiff and the mitigating factors among the parties. Therefore, the Company has not recorded reserves and contingent liabilities related to this matter. However, in the future, as the case progresses, the Company may be required to record a contingent liability or reserve for these matters.

On August 14, 2014, the Company entered into a new lease commitment. Terms of the new lease include thirty-seven-month term commencing on September 1, 2014; payment of $5,367 security deposit; base rent of approximately $4,000 per month over the term of the lease plus sales tax; and payment of 10.76% of annual operating expenses (i.e. common areas maintenance), which is approximately $2,000 per month subject to periodic adjustment. On December 1, 2016, we entered into an amendment to the initial lease agreement, commencing on October 1, 2017, extending the term for an additional eighty-four months, expiring September 30, 2024. The base rent was increased to $4,626 per month with a 3% annual escalation throughout the amended term. 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.

Base rent expense, attributable to the Company’s headquarters facility totaled approximately $72,000 and $48,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The following is an estimate of future minimum rental payments required under our lease agreement on August 14, 2014 and as amended December 1, 2016:

	Operating lease
year 1	$	55,933
year 2		57,611
year 3		59,339
year 4		61,119
year 5 and thereafter		188,754
	$	422,756

On August 7, 2017 the Company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Lenhardt & Wagner GmbH (“L&W”), a German-based company engaged in the development, manufacturing and sales of high pressure air and industrial gas compressor packages. Under the terms of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, we were appointed the exclusive distributor of L&W’s complete product line in North America and South America, including the Caribbean (the “Territory”). Pursuant to an intercompany assignment, Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc., our newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary (“BHP”), is party to the agreement. Through BHP we expect to conduct business and build the brand name “L&W Americas/LWA”, establishing sales, distribution and service centers for high pressure air and industrial gas systems in the dive, fire, CNG, military, scientific, recreational and aerospace industries. Under the terms of the agreement, we were granted a non-exclusive, non-transferrable and irrevocable right to use certain of L&W’s trademarks in connection with the marketing, use, sale and service of the products in the Territory. The agreement is for an initial term of five years, and will automatically renew for one additional five year term unless terminated by either party upon one year written notice prior to the expiration of the then current term. Either party may terminate the agreement without cause upon one year prior written notice to the other party. In addition, L&W may terminate the agreement for cause upon 120 days prior notice to us, subject to certain cure periods.

On August 1, 2017, the Company entered into a six month employment agreement with Blake Carmichael, the son of the Company’s chief executive officer and an electrical engineer, to serve as the Company’s products development manager, electrical engineer and marketing team member.

Preferred Stock

During the second quarter of 2010, the holder of the majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorizing the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock as authorized has such voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights as may be determined by our Board of Directors of the Company from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act. Before modification, the existing Articles of Incorporation did not authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock. The Company authorized the preferred stock for the purpose of added flexibility in seeking capital and potential acquisition targets. The amendment authorizing the issuance of shares of preferred stock grants the Board authority, without further action by our stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series and to designate certain rights, preferences and restrictions of each series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the 425,000 shares of preferred stock are owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The preferred shares have 250 to 1 voting rights over the common stock, and are convertible into 31,481 shares of common stock. The preferred stock votes with the Company’s common stock, except as otherwise required under Florida law.

Equity Incentive Plan

On August 22, 2007, the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors, and Consultants in the form of Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options. Stock Purchase Rights, time vested and/performance invested Restricted Stock, and Stock Appreciation Rights and Unrestricted Shares may also be granted under the Plan. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan shall be 297 shares, and no more than 75 Shares of Common Stock may be granted to any one Participant with respect to Options, Stock Purchase Rights and Stock Appreciation Rights during any one calendar year period. Common Stock to be issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued or shares held in treasury by the Company. The term of the Plan shall be ten years. The Plan expired on August 22, 2017. All 297 options issued under the Plan remain outstanding.

15. EQUITY BASED INCENTIVE/RETENTION BONUSES

On November 2, 2012, the Board of Directors consented to grant equity based bonuses to certain key employees and consultants as an incentive to retain their services. Stock incentive bonuses were to vest, and be paid out on May 2, 2013, contingent upon continued employment or service. The stock bonus price per share was calculated based on last closing price as reported on per the OTCBB prior to the grant date for a total of $75,100. Shares were set aside and reserved for this transaction. The Company accrued operating expense ratably from the time of the awards through May 2, 2013, when vested. Of the 61,852 vested shares, only 5,185 were issued. On April 29, 2016, the Board of Directors determined it was not in the best interest of either the Company or the recipients to pay bonuses based on the current and foreseeable share price and cancelled the bonuses payable. The results of this action, 56,669 shares to be issued are included in a reduction of shares payable as reflected on the equity and balance sheet at December 31, 2016.

Holder shall be entitled to purchase the shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 2 at any time subsequent to the date of this Warrant set forth above and prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below).

1.2 Exercise Price. The initial purchase price for each of the Shares shall be $0.0115 per share. Such price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms hereof (such price, as adjusted from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Exercise Price”).

2. Exercise and Payment; Exercise Limitations.

2.1 Exercise and Payment. At any time after the date of this Warrant, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, from time to time by the Holder, during the term hereof, by surrender of this Warrant and the Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Annex I, duly completed and executed by the Holder, to the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company, together with payment in the amount obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by the number of Shares thereby purchased, as designated in the Notice of Exercise. Payment may be in cash, wire transfer or by check payable to the order of the Company in immediately available funds. If not exercised in full, this Warrant must be exercised for a whole number of Shares.

2.2 Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to this Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates (such persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2.2 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.2, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2.2, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2.2 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

3. Reservation of Shares. The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of Shares or other shares of capital stock of the Company from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant . All such Shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights.

Within three (3) trading days after exercise, in whole or in part, of this Warrant, the Company shall issue in the name of and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable Shares which the Holder shall have requested in the Notice of Exercise. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (dated the date hereof and of like tenor) for the unexercised portion of this Warrant at the time of delivery of such stock certificate or certificates.

5. No Fractional Shares. This Warrant must be exercised for a whole number of Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional Shares will be issued upon exercise of this Warrant.

9. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The Exercise Price and the number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

9.1 Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time after the date hereof but prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide its outstanding securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, by split-up or otherwise, or combine its outstanding securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist, the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is exercisable as of the date of such subdivision, split-up or combination shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant as of such date shall remain the same.

9.2 Stock Dividend. If at any time after the date hereof the Company declares a dividend or other distribution on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof), then the number of Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of the record date (or the date of such dividend distribution if no record date is set) for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all such securities convertible into Common Stock) of Common Stock as a result of such dividend, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date (or on the date of such distribution, if applicable), for such dividend shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date (or on the date of such distribution, if applicable).

9.3 Other Distributions. If at any time after the date hereof the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any shares of its capital stock, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents), then the Company may, at its option, either (i) decrease the Exercise Price of this Warrant by an appropriate amount based upon the value distributed on each share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, or (ii) provide by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors that on exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall thereafter be entitled to receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable on exercise hereof, the number of shares or other securities or property which would have been received had this Warrant at the time been exercised.

9.4 Effect of Consolidation, Merger or Sale. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization, or change of securities of the class issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of any subdivision, combination, stock dividend or other distribution provided for in Sections 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 above), or in case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any corporation (other than a consolidation or merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall duly execute and deliver to the holder of this Warrant a new Warrant (in form and substance satisfactory to the holder of this Warrant), or the Company shall make appropriate provision without the issuance of a new Warrant, so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to receive, at a total purchase price not to exceed that payable upon the exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, and in lieu of the Shares theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification, capital reorganization, change, merger or sale by a holder of the number of Shares then purchasable under this Warrant. In any such case, appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, or to any new Warrant delivered pursuant to this Section 10.4, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price per share payable hereunder, provided, that the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, changes, mergers and transfers.

10. Notice of Adjustments; Notices. Whenever the Exercise Price or number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated and the Exercise Price and number of and kind of securities purchasable hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause a copy of such certificate to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder.

11. Rights As Shareholder; Notice to Holders. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder or his or its transferees the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Company or of any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as shareholders of the Company. The Company shall give notice to the Holder by registered mail if at any time prior to the expiration or exercise in full of the Warrants, any of the following events shall occur:

(i) a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company shall be proposed;

(ii) a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of any subdivision, combination, stock dividend or other distribution) or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger with another corporation in which the Company is the acquiring and the surviving corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), or in case of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(iii) a taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) for other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other rights.

Such giving of notice shall be simultaneous with (or in any event, no later than) the giving of notice to holders of Common Stock. Such notice shall specify the record date or the date of closing the stock transfer books, as the case may be. Failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of any action contemplated in this Section 11.

12. Restricted Securities. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares purchasable hereunder constitute “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are, or will be, acquired from the Company in transactions not involving a public offering and accordingly may not, under such laws and applicable regulations, be resold or transferred without registration under the Act, or an applicable exemption from such registration. The Holder further acknowledges that a securities legend to the foregoing effect shall be placed on any Shares issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant.

5

13. Disposition of Shares; Transferability.

13.1 Transfer. This Warrant shall be transferable only on the books of the Company, upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney or representative, accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall execute and deliver new Warrants to the person entitled thereto.

13.2 Rights, Preferences and Privileges of Common Stock. The powers, preferences, rights, restrictions and other matters relating to the shares of Common Stock will be as determined in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, as then in effect.

14. Miscellaneous.

14.1 Binding Effect. This Warrant and the various rights and obligations arising hereunder shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

14.2 Entire Agreement. This Warrant and the Purchase Agreement of even date herewith constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

14.3 Amendment and Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company and the Holders representing a majority-in-interest of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Any waiver or amendment effected in accordance with this Section 14.3 shall be binding upon the Holder and the Company.

14.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Florida without reference to the conflicts of law principles thereof. The exclusive jurisdiction for any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Warrant shall be either the Florida State Supreme Court, County of Broward, or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

14.5 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not alter or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

14.6 Severability. If one or more provisions of this Warrant are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Warrant and the balance of the Warrant shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and the balance shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

3. Security. The obligations of the Company under this Note are secured by such assets of the Company as shall equal the outstanding principal and accrued interest due under the Note from time to time in connection with the Security Agreement, dated even herewith between the Company and the Holder, together with the guarantees of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc. and Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries Guarantees”), and the personal guarantee of Robert M. Carmichael.

4. Conversion of Note. This Note may be converted into shares of Common Stock, at any time, at the option of the Holder as follows:

(a) Conversion: Subject to and upon compliance with the provision of this Section 4, at the option of the Holder, at any time on or before the Maturity Date the unpaid principal and interest balance of the Note may be converted in whole or in part, into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company at a conversion rate (the “Conversion Price”) per share of Common Stock as follows:

(i) if converted on or before November __, 2018, the Conversion Price shall be $0.02 per share;

(ii) if the Maturity Date is extended in accordance with Section 2 hereof:

(A) if converted after November __, 2018 but prior to November _, 2019 the Conversion Price shall be $0.05 per share;

(B) if converted after November __, 2019 but prior to November __, 2020, the Conversion Price shall be $0.075 per share;

(C) if converted after November __, 2020 but prior to November __, 2021, the Conversion Price shall be $0.10 per share; or

Page 2 of 6

(c) Holder’s Conversion Limitations: The Company shall not effect any conversion of this Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, to the extent that after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Warrant (as that term is defined in Purchase Agreement) beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 4(c) applies, the determination of whether this Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which principal amount of this Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Note may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and which principal amount of this Note is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, the Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 4(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 4(c). Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 4(c) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. For purposes of this Section “Affiliate” means any person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

(d) Subdivision or Combination: Whenever the Company shall subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or combination shall be proportionately decreased in the case of subdivision or increased in the case of combination effective at the time of such subdivision or combination.

(e) Reclassification or Change: Whenever any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall occur (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par, or from no par to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), effective provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall have the right, at any time thereafter, to receive upon conversion of the Note the kind of stock, other securities or property receivable upon such reclassification by a holder of the number of share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note immediately prior to such reclassification. Thereafter, the rights of the parties hereto with respect to the adjustments of the amount of securities or other property obtainable upon conversion of this Note shall be appropriately continued and preserved, so as to afford as nearly as may be possible protection of the nature afforded by this subparagraph (e).

Page 3 of 6

(f) Merger: If, prior to repayment of the obligations relevant hereto, or prior to conversion of this Note into equity in the Company, the Company shall be consolidated or merged with another company, or substantially all of its assets shall be sold to another company in exchange for stock wit the view to distributing such stock to its shareholders, each share of stock into which this Note is convertible shall be replaced for the purposes hereof by a pro rata amount of the securities or property issuable or distributable, based upon percentage of the Company’s common stock which a Holder would have owned had there been a conversion herein after consummation of such merger, consolidation or sale and adequate provision to that effect shall be made at the time thereof. The Company will provide the Holder at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any event described in this subsection (f).

5. Reservation of Common Shares. The Company shall take or has taken all steps necessary to reserve a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock sufficient for issuance upon conversion of this Note pursuant to the provisions included hereinabove.

6. Securities Laws Restrictions. This Note and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion have not been registered for sale under the Act, and neither this Note nor those shares nor any interest in this Note nor those shares may be sold, offered for sale, pledged or otherwise disposed of without compliance with applicable securities laws, including, without limitation, an effective registration statement relating thereto or delivery of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company that such registration is not required under the Act.

7. Status of Registered Holder. The Company may treat the registered holder of this Note as the absolute owner of this Note for the purposes of making payments of principal or interest and for all other purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

8. Redemption/Prepayment of Note. This Note is subject to redemption at the option of the Company upon ten (10) days prior written notice (subject to the Holder’s prior exercise of its right of conversion as set forth above), in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, upon payment by the Company of 100% of the unpaid principal amount or such portion thereof so redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon through the date of redemption.

9. Events of Default. If any of the following conditions or events (“Events of Default”) shall occur and shall be continuing:

(i) if the Company shall default in the payment of principal and/or interest accruing herein when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and shall fail to cure such default within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the Holder to the Company, if the Company fails to tender any payment due hereunder when the same becomes due; and shall fail to cure such default within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof from the Holder to the Company; or

Page 4 of 6

(ii)	if the Company shall materially default in the performance of or compliance with any material term of this Note or the Purchase Agreement contained herein and such default shall not have been remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the Holder to the Company; or
(iii)	if the Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or a voluntary petition for reorganization under Title 11 of the Unites States Code (“Title 11”) shall be filed by the Company or an order shall be entered granting relief to the Company under Title 11 or a petition shall be filed by the Company in bankruptcy, or the Company shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statue, law or regulation, or shall file any answer admitting or not contesting the material allegations of a petition filed against the Company any such proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company or if the Company or its directors or majority shareholders shall take any action looking to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; or
(iv)	if within 120 days after the commencement of an action against the Company seeking a reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statue, law or regulation, such action shall not have been dismissed or nullified or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of the Company stayed, or if the stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be set aside, or if, within 120 days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of the Company of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company such appointment shall not have been vacated;

then, and in any such event, the Holder may at any time (unless such Event of Default shall theretofore have been remedied) at its option, by written notice to the Company, declare the Note to be due and payable, whereupon the Note shall forthwith mature and become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereon, and thereafter interest shall be due, at the rate per annum hereinabove provided, on the entire principal balance until the same is fully paid, and on any overdue interest (but only to the extent permitted by law), without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived, subject however, to the other terms, including those relating to subordination, of this Note.

No course of dealing and no delay on the part of Holder in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Note upon Holder shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1. Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies

Description of business –Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the “Company,” “our” or “BWMG”) designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and nitrox generation systems, scuba and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. and manufactures and sells high pressure air and industrial gas compressor packages through its wholly owned subsidiary Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. The Company sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name of Trebor Industries, Inc. and Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (Pink) under the symbol “BWMG”.

On August 7, 2017, Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Lenhardt & Wagner GmbH (“L&W”), a German-based company engaged in the development, manufacturing and sales of high pressure air and industrial gas compressor packages. Under the terms of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, we were appointed the exclusive distributor of L&W’s complete product line in North America and South America, including the Caribbean (the “Territory”). Pursuant to an intercompany assignment, Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc., our newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary (“BHP”), is party to the agreement. Through BHP we expect to conduct business and build the brand name “L&W Americas/LWA”, establishing sales, distribution and service centers for high pressure air and industrial gas systems in the dive, fire, CNG, military, scientific, recreational and aerospace industries. Our goal will be to build a network of jobbers, dealers, installers and high-pressure compressor distributors throughout the Territory by leveraging our know-how, brand awareness, complimentary products and creating sustainable distribution and core product OEM integration relationships.

Basis of Presentation – The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Definition of fiscal year – The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Principles of Consolidation -The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BWMG and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc., Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. and bLU3, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 2016 financial statement amounts and disclosures to conform to the 2017 financial statement presentation.

Cash and equivalents – Only highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

Going Concern –The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. Although profitable for the year ended December 31, 2016, we incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $248,744. The Company has an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017 of $8,879,793.

Because the Company believes that existing operational cash flow may not be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will continue to raise additional funds as needed and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. The Company has issued a number of common shares and convertible debentures as an interim measure to finance working capital needs and may continue to raise additional capital through sale of restricted common stock or other securities or obtaining short term loans.

If BWMG fails to raise additional funds when needed, or does not have sufficient cash flows from sales, it may be required to scale back or cease operations, liquidate assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of all of our products to wholesale and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts are estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge. The allowances for doubtful accounts totaled $16,848 and $18,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Inventory – Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 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 indicated.

Property and equipment and leasehold improvements – Property and equipment and leasehold improvement is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or term of the lease, which are 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, when applicable, 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. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no ongoing contracts accounted for using the percentage of completion method.

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 as the work is performed.

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

Advertising and marketing costs – The Company expenses the costs of producing advertisements and marketing material at the time production occurs, and expenses the costs of communicating advertisements and participating in trade shows in the period in which they occur. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, totaled $42,959 and $5,800, respectively.

Research and development costs – The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company incurred research and development costs of $16,380 and $1,973, respectively.

Customer deposits and unearned revenue and returns policy – The Company typically takes a minimum 50% deposit against custom and large tankfill systems prior to ordering and/or building the systems. The remaining balance due is payable upon delivery, shipment, or installation of the system. There is no provision for cancellation of custom orders once the deposit is accepted, nor return of the custom ordered product. Additionally, returns of all other merchandise are subject to a 15% restocking fee as stated on each sales invoice. The Company provides our customers with an industry standard one year warranty on systems sold. Historically, the cost of our warranty policy has been immaterial and no reserve has been established. Customer deposits and unearned revenue totaled $97,249 and $31,577 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Income taxes – The Company accounts for its income taxes under the assets and liabilities method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, they would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Comprehensive income – The Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income equals comprehensive income for all periods presented.

Stock-based compensation – The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued on the effective date of the agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which includes determination of the fair value of the share-based transaction. The fair value is determined through use of the quoted stock price.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company converted accrued liabilities of principal and interest to related parties to stock totaling $63,303 and $570, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued shares for employee compensation with a fair value of $36,000.

Beneficial conversion features on convertible debentures – A beneficial conversion feature arises when the conversion price of a convertible instrument is below the per share value of the underlying stock into which it is convertible. The fair value of the stock upon which to base the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) computation has been determined through use of the quoted stock price.

Fair value of financial instruments – Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company. Management considers observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, provided by multiple, independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Company’s perceived risk of that investment.

At December 31, 2017, and 2016, the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customer deposits and unearned revenue, royalties payable – related parties, other liabilities, and notes payable, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Earnings 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 dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. Potentially dilutive shares included in dilutive earnings per share totaled 34,929,502 at  December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2017, 61,512,122 potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These shares reflect shares potentially issuable under convertible note agreements during the period ending December 31, 2017.

New accounting pronouncements

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740) amending previous guidance on accounting and disclosures for income taxes addressing changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). This standard addresses the recognition of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets following passage of the Act. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows or financial condition.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” ASU 2016-15 provides guidance regarding the classification of certain items within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, other than presentation, or financial condition.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606) identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. The adoption of ASU 2016-10 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, or financial condition.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which relates to the accounting for employee share-based payments. This standard addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASC 2016-09 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU No. 2015-11 does not apply to inventory measurement using the last-in, last-out (LIFO) or retail methods. ASU No. 2015-11 applies to all other inventory measurement methods, which includes first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. Previously, inventory valuation was at the lower of cost or fair market value. This ASU changes the valuation to lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of the business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted. The Company opted for early adoption of ASU 2015-11 with no impact to financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company updated its consolidated financial statements to reflect inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

The Company believes there was no other new accounting guidance adopted, but not yet effective that either has not already been disclosed in prior reporting periods or is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.

The Company sells products to Brownie’s Global Logistics, LLC. (“BGL”), 940 Associates, Inc. and 3D Buoy,LLC affiliated with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Terms of sale are more favorable than those extended to BWMG’s regular customers, but no more favorable than those extended to Brownie’s strategic partners.

Strategic partner terms on a per order basis include promotion of BWMG’s technologies and “Brownie’s” brand, offered only on product or services not offered for resale, and must provide for reciprocal terms or arrangements to BWMG on strategic partners’ product or services. BGL is fulfilling the strategic partner terms by providing exposure for BWMG’s technologies and “Brownie’s” brand in the yachting and exploration community world-wide through its operations.

Total royalty expense for the above agreements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, as disclosed on the face of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations totaled $54,745 and $56,057, respectively. In November 2016, the Company entered into a conversion agreement under which the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of restricted common stock in satisfaction of $88,850 past due and payable to 940A. As of the date of the conversion agreement, the Company was more than 31 months in arrears on its royalty payments totaling approximately $151,000. In addition, 940A agreed to forebear on any default under the License Agreement due to the Company’s remaining past due amount for a period of three months from the effective date of the conversion agreement. The shares issued were valued at $0.008885 per share, the closing price of the stock on the effective date of the conversion agreement. No default notice had been received prior to the conversion agreements.

On March 1, 2017, the Company and 940A entered into a conversion agreement. Under the agreement the Company issued 940A 4,587,190 shares of restricted common stock in satisfaction of $63,303, which represented all past due and payable amounts to 940A under that certain Exclusive License Agreement by and between the parties as of March 1, 2017. As of the date of the agreement the Company was more than 3 months in arrears on royalty payments due under the Exclusive License Agreement.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, stock based compensation shares issued to Mr. Purdon totaled 360,000 shares with a fair value of $36,000. The agreement with Mr. Purdon terminated August 31, 2016.

(1)	On May 3, 2011, the Company borrowed $300,000 in exchange for a convertible debenture. The Debenture bears 10% interest per annum. The lender may at any time convert any portion of the debenture to common shares at a 30% discount of the “Market Price” of the stock based on the average of the previous ten (10) days weighted average closing prices on the date prior to the notice of conversion. The Company may prepay the debenture plus accrued interest at any time before maturity. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company the funds, the Company granted the lender 300,000 and 600,000 warrants at $337.50 and $472.50 per share, respectively. As a result, the Company allocated fair market value (“FMV”) to both the BCF and to the warrants, or $206,832, which was recorded as a discount against the debenture. The Company accreted the discount to interest expense. The Company recognized the FMV of the related warrants as $45,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
(2)	The Company borrowed $10,000 in exchange for a convertible debenture. The lender at their option may convert all or part of the note plus accrued interest into common stock at a price of thirty percent (30%) discount as determined from the average four (4) highest closing bid prices over the preceding five (5) trading days. The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debenture at $4,286, which was accreted to interest expense over the period of the note.
(3)	The Company entered into three new debenture agreements upon sale/assignment of the original lenders. Because the stated terms of the new debenture agreement and principal amounts were significantly different from the original debenture, including analysis of value of the beneficial conversion feature at the assignment/purchase date, the transactions are treated as extinguishment of the old debentures and recorded as new for accounting purposes.
	The conversion price under the debentures is $0.37125 and the lender may convert at any time until the debenture plus accrued interest is paid in full. Various other fees and penalties apply if payments or conversions are not done timely by the Company. The lender will be limited to maximum conversion of 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any one time.
(4)	The Company entered into a 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, due December 1, 2018, subject to extension. The Note is secured with such assets of the Company equal to the principal and accrued interest, and is guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc. and Brownie’s High Pressor Compressor Services, Inc. and the personal guarantee of Robert M. Carmichael, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The conversion price under the Note range from $0.02 per share if converted in the first year to $0.125 if converted in year five. The lender may convert at any time until the debenture plus accrued interest is paid in full. Various other fees and penalties apply if payments or conversions are not done timely by the Company. The lender will be limited to maximum conversion of 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any one time.

12. INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“the Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a United States corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.

Management is in the process of reviewing “the Act”, but has not completed its analysis at the statement date.

Commitments and Contingencies

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including matters relating to product liability claims. Such product liability claims sometimes involving wrongful death or injury have historically been covered by product liability insurance, which provided coverage for each claim up to $1,000,000. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company did not renew its product liability insurance since the renewal policy amount was cost prohibitive. As of August 15, 2017, the Company has obtained Product Liability Insurance, although prior claims are not covered under the new policy. The policy is already prepaid and will remain in effect until its renewal date of August 14, 2018.

As previously disclosed, the Company and Trebor were co-defendants under an action filed by an individual in September 2013 in the Circuit Court of Broward County claiming personal injury resulting from use of a Brownie’s Third Lung. Plaintiff claimed damages in excess of $1,000,000. This matter was settled during the three months ended September 30, 2016 by the Company’s insurance carrier at no additional cost to the Company.

In addition, as previously disclosed, the Company, Trebor and other third parties, are each named as a co-defendants under an action filed in March 2015 in the Circuit Court of Broward County under Case No. CACE15-03238 by the Estate of Ernesto Rodriguez, claiming wrongful death and products liability resulting in the decedent’s drowning death while using a Brownie’s Third Lung product. This claim falls outside the Company’s period of insurance coverage. Plaintiff has claims damages exceeding $1,000,000. A default judgment was entered against Trebor in 2015 due to its failure to timely respond to the complaint. The Company has obtained different legal representation in this matter and attempted to have the default set aside. On November 2, 2016, the court granted plaintiff’s motion for sanctions against our company for frivolous litigation relating to our attempt to have the matter dismissed and granted the plaintiff’s motion to strike our motion for summary judgment due to our initial default. The Company believes the claim to be a Workers Compensation claim relating exclusively against other non-affiliated defendants and without merit, and will aggressively defend this action and to appeal the default judgment. In the event Trebor is unable to overturn the default judgment and the defendants are determined to be at fault, we would seek to allocate damages among all of the other parties, including the plaintiff. At this time, the amount of any loss, or range of loss, cannot be reasonably estimated due to the undetermined validity of any claim or claims made by plaintiff and the mitigating factors among the parties. Therefore, the Company has not recorded reserves and contingent liabilities related to this matter. However, in the future, as the case progresses, the Company may be required to record a contingent liability or reserve for these matters.

On August 14, 2014, the Company entered into a new lease commitment. Terms of the new lease include thirty-seven-month term commencing on September 1, 2014; payment of $5,367 security deposit; base rent of approximately $4,000 per month over the term of the lease plus sales tax; and payment of 10.76% of annual operating expenses (i.e. common areas maintenance), which is approximately $2,000 per month subject to periodic adjustment. On December 1, 2016, we entered into an amendment to the initial lease agreement, commencing on October 1, 2017, extending the term for an additional eighty-four months, expiring September 30, 2024. The base rent was increased to $4,626 per month with a 3% annual escalation throughout the amended term. 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.

Base rent expense, attributable to the Company’s headquarters facility totaled approximately $72,000 and $48,000 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The following is an estimate of future minimum rental payments required under our lease agreement on August 14, 2014 and as amended December 1, 2016:

	Operating lease
year 1	$	55,933
year 2		57,611
year 3		59,339
year 4		61,119
year 5 and thereafter		188,754
	$	422,756

On August 7, 2017 the Company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Lenhardt & Wagner GmbH (“L&W”), a German-based company engaged in the development, manufacturing and sales of high pressure air and industrial gas compressor packages. Under the terms of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, we were appointed the exclusive distributor of L&W’s complete product line in North America and South America, including the Caribbean (the “Territory”). Pursuant to an intercompany assignment, Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc., our newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary (“BHP”), is party to the agreement. Through BHP we expect to conduct business and build the brand name “L&W Americas/LWA”, establishing sales, distribution and service centers for high pressure air and industrial gas systems in the dive, fire, CNG, military, scientific, recreational and aerospace industries. Under the terms of the agreement, we were granted a non-exclusive, non-transferrable and irrevocable right to use certain of L&W’s trademarks in connection with the marketing, use, sale and service of the products in the Territory. The agreement is for an initial term of five years, and will automatically renew for one additional five year term unless terminated by either party upon one year written notice prior to the expiration of the then current term. Either party may terminate the agreement without cause upon one year prior written notice to the other party. In addition, L&W may terminate the agreement for cause upon 120 days prior notice to us, subject to certain cure periods.

In March 2017, the Company issued 4,587,190 shares of restricted common stock in satisfaction of $63,303 past due and payable under an exclusive license agreement with 940 Associates, Inc., an entity owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

On August 1, 2017, Mikkel Pitzner, was appointed by the Company’s board of directors to serve on the Company’s board of directors, filling a vacancy on the board. Mr. Pitzner shall serve on the board of directors and shall hold office until the next election of directors by stockholders and until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.

On August 1, 2017 the Company entered into six month advisory agreement with Wesley P. Siebenthal to provide certain advisory services to the Company and serve as its Chief Technology Advisor. As compensation for the services, the Company issued him 2,000,000 shares of its common stock valued at $25,000.

On August 1, 2017, the Company entered into a six month employment agreement with Blake Carmichael, the son of the Company’s chief executive officer and an electrical engineer, to serve as the Company’s products development manager, electrical engineer and marketing team member. Under the terms of the employment agreement, in addition to a monthly salary of $3,600, the Company issued Mr. Carmichael 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $25,000. Mr. Carmichael is also entitled to performance bonuses at the discretion of the board of directors.

Effective August 1, 2017, the board of directors issued Mr. Robert Carmichael, the Company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and member of the Company’s board of directors, 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $25,000 in consideration of serving on the Company’s board of directors.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 16,699,315 shares in a Unit Offering with net proceeds of $192,042.

Preferred Stock

During the second quarter of 2010, the holder of the majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorizing the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock as authorized has such voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights as may be determined by our Board of Directors of the Company from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act. Before modification, the existing Articles of Incorporation did not authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock. The Company authorized the preferred stock for the purpose of added flexibility in seeking capital and potential acquisition targets. The amendment authorizing the issuance of shares of preferred stock grants the Board authority, without further action by our stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series and to designate certain rights, preferences and restrictions of each series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the 425,000 shares of preferred stock are owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The preferred shares have 250 to 1 voting rights over the common stock, and are convertible into 31,481 shares of common stock. The preferred stock votes with the Company’s common stock, except as otherwise required under Florida law.

Equity Incentive Plan

On August 22, 2007, the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors, and Consultants in the form of Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options.

Common Stock to be issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued or shares held in treasury by the Company. The term of the Plan shall be ten years. The Plan expired on August 22, 2017. All 297 options issued under the Plan remain outstanding.

Equity Based Incentive/Retention Bonuses

15. EQUITY BASED INCENTIVE/RETENTION BONUSES

On November 2, 2012, the Board of Directors consented to grant equity based bonuses to certain key employees and consultants as an incentive to retain their services. Stock incentive bonuses were to vest, and be paid out on May 2, 2013, contingent upon continued employment or service. The stock bonus price per share was calculated based on last closing price as reported on per the OTCBB prior to the grant date for a total of $75,100. Shares were set aside and reserved for this transaction. The Company accrued operating expense ratably from the time of the awards through May 2, 2013, when vested. Of the 61,852 vested shares, only 5,185 were issued. On April 29, 2016, the Board of Directors determined it was not in the best interest of either the Company or the recipients to pay bonuses based on the current and foreseeable share price and cancelled the bonuses payable. The results of this action, 56,669 shares to be issued are included in a reduction of shares payable as reflected on the equity and balance sheet at December 31, 2016.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Description of Business

Description of business –Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the “Company,” “our” or “BWMG”) designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and nitrox generation systems, scuba and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. and manufactures and sells high pressure air and industrial gas compressor packages through its wholly owned subsidiary Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. The Company sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name of Trebor Industries, Inc. and Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (Pink) under the symbol “BWMG”.

On August 7, 2017, Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Lenhardt & Wagner GmbH (“L&W”), a German-based company engaged in the development, manufacturing and sales of high pressure air and industrial gas compressor packages. Under the terms of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, we were appointed the exclusive distributor of L&W’s complete product line in North America and South America, including the Caribbean (the “Territory”). Pursuant to an intercompany assignment, Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc., our newly-formed wholly-owned subsidiary (“BHP”), is party to the agreement. Through BHP we expect to conduct business and build the brand name “L&W Americas/LWA”, establishing sales, distribution and service centers for high pressure air and industrial gas systems in the dive, fire, CNG, military, scientific, recreational and aerospace industries. Our goal will be to build a network of jobbers, dealers, installers and high-pressure compressor distributors throughout the Territory by leveraging our know-how, brand awareness, complimentary products and creating sustainable distribution and core product OEM integration relationships.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation – The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Definition of Fiscal Year

Definition of fiscal year – The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation -The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BWMG and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc., Brownie’s High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc. and bLU3, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

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

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2016 financial statement amounts and disclosures to conform to the 2017 financial statement presentation.

Cash and Equivalents

Cash and equivalents – Only highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

Going Concern

Going Concern –The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. Although profitable for the year ended December 31, 2016, we incurred a loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 of $248,744. The Company has an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017 of $8,879,793.

Because the Company believes that existing operational cash flow may not be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will continue to raise additional funds as needed and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. The Company has issued a number of common shares and convertible debentures as an interim measure to finance working capital needs and may continue to raise additional capital through sale of restricted common stock or other securities or obtaining short term loans.

If BWMG fails to raise additional funds when needed, or does not have sufficient cash flows from sales, it may be required to scale back or cease operations, liquidate assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of all of our products to wholesale and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts are estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge. The allowances for doubtful accounts totaled $16,848 and $18,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory – Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 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 indicated.

Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

Property and equipment and leasehold improvements – Property and equipment and leasehold improvement is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or term of the lease, which are 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

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, when applicable, 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. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no ongoing contracts accounted for using the percentage of completion method.

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 as the work is performed.

Product Development Costs

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

Advertising and Marketing Costs

Advertising and marketing costs – The Company expenses the costs of producing advertisements and marketing material at the time production occurs, and expenses the costs of communicating advertisements and participating in trade shows in the period in which they occur. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the years ended December 31, 2017, and 2016, totaled $42,959 and $5,800, respectively.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs – The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company incurred research and development costs of $16,380 and $1,973, respectively.

Customer Deposits and Unearned Revenue and Returns Policy

Customer deposits and unearned revenue and returns policy – The Company typically takes a minimum 50% deposit against custom and large tankfill systems prior to ordering and/or building the systems. The remaining balance due is payable upon delivery, shipment, or installation of the system. There is no provision for cancellation of custom orders once the deposit is accepted, nor return of the custom ordered product. Additionally, returns of all other merchandise are subject to a 15% restocking fee as stated on each sales invoice. The Company provides our customers with an industry standard one year warranty on systems sold. Historically, the cost of our warranty policy has been immaterial and no reserve has been established. Customer deposits and unearned revenue totaled $97,249 and $31,577 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes – The Company accounts for its income taxes under the assets and liabilities method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, they would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income – The Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income equals comprehensive income for all periods presented.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based compensation – The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued on the effective date of the agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which includes determination of the fair value of the share-based transaction. The fair value is determined through use of the quoted stock price.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company converted accrued liabilities of principal and interest to related parties to stock totaling $63,303 and $570, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued shares for employee compensation with a fair value of $36,000.

Beneficial Conversion Features on Convertible Debentures

Beneficial conversion features on convertible debentures – A beneficial conversion feature arises when the conversion price of a convertible instrument is below the per share value of the underlying stock into which it is convertible. The fair value of the stock upon which to base the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) computation has been determined through use of the quoted stock price.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial instruments – Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company. Management considers observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, provided by multiple, independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Company’s perceived risk of that investment.

At December 31, 2017, and 2016, the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, customer deposits and unearned revenue, royalties payable – related parties, other liabilities, and notes payable, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings 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 dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. Potentially dilutive shares included in dilutive earnings per share totaled 34,929,502 at  December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2017, 61,512,122 potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These shares reflect shares potentially issuable under convertible note agreements during the period ending December 31, 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting pronouncements

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740) amending previous guidance on accounting and disclosures for income taxes addressing changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). This standard addresses the recognition of taxes payable or refundable in the current year and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets following passage of the Act. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows or financial condition.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” ASU 2016-15 provides guidance regarding the classification of certain items within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, other than presentation, or financial condition.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606) identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. The adoption of ASU 2016-10 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, or financial condition.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which relates to the accounting for employee share-based payments. This standard addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASC 2016-09 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU No. 2015-11 does not apply to inventory measurement using the last-in, last-out (LIFO) or retail methods. ASU No. 2015-11 applies to all other inventory measurement methods, which includes first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. Previously, inventory valuation was at the lower of cost or fair market value. This ASU changes the valuation to lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of the business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted. The Company opted for early adoption of ASU 2015-11 with no impact to financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company updated its consolidated financial statements to reflect inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

The Company believes there was no other new accounting guidance adopted, but not yet effective that either has not already been disclosed in prior reporting periods or is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.

(1)	On May 3, 2011, the Company borrowed $300,000 in exchange for a convertible debenture. The Debenture bears 10% interest per annum. The lender may at any time convert any portion of the debenture to common shares at a 30% discount of the “Market Price” of the stock based on the average of the previous ten (10) days weighted average closing prices on the date prior to the notice of conversion. The Company may prepay the debenture plus accrued interest at any time before maturity. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company the funds, the Company granted the lender 300,000 and 600,000 warrants at $337.50 and $472.50 per share, respectively. As a result, the Company allocated fair market value (“FMV”) to both the BCF and to the warrants, or $206,832, which was recorded as a discount against the debenture. The Company accreted the discount to interest expense. The Company recognized the FMV of the related warrants as $45,000 using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
(2)	The Company borrowed $10,000 in exchange for a convertible debenture. The lender at their option may convert all or part of the note plus accrued interest into common stock at a price of thirty percent (30%) discount as determined from the average four (4) highest closing bid prices over the preceding five (5) trading days. The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debenture at $4,286, which was accreted to interest expense over the period of the note.
(3)	The Company entered into three new debenture agreements upon sale/assignment of the original lenders. Because the stated terms of the new debenture agreement and principal amounts were significantly different from the original debenture, including analysis of value of the beneficial conversion feature at the assignment/purchase date, the transactions are treated as extinguishment of the old debentures and recorded as new for accounting purposes.
	The conversion price under the debentures is $0.37125 and the lender may convert at any time until the debenture plus accrued interest is paid in full. Various other fees and penalties apply if payments or conversions are not done timely by the Company. The lender will be limited to maximum conversion of 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any one time.
(4)	The Company entered into a 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, due December 1, 2018, subject to extension. The Note is secured with such assets of the Company equal to the principal and accrued interest, and is guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc. and Brownie’s High Pressor Compressor Services, Inc. and the personal guarantee of Robert M. Carmichael, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The conversion price under the Note range from $0.02 per share if converted in the first year to $0.125 if converted in year five. The lender may convert at any time until the debenture plus accrued interest is paid in full. Various other fees and penalties apply if payments or conversions are not done timely by the Company. The lender will be limited to maximum conversion of 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any one time.

(5) The Company entered into a 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, due December 4, 2018, subject to extension. The Note is secured with such assets of the Company equal to the principal and accrued interest, and is guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc. and Brownie’s High Pressor Compressor Services, Inc. and the personal guarantee of Robert M.

[2] The Company borrowed $10,000 in exchange for a convertible debenture. The lender at their option may convert all or part of the note plus accrued interest into common stock at a price of thirty percent (30%) discount as determined from the average four (4) highest closing bid prices over the preceding five (5) trading days. The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debenture at $4,286, which was accreted to interest expense over the period of the note.

[3] The Company entered into three new debenture agreements upon sale/assignment of the original lenders. Because the stated terms of the new debenture agreement and principal amounts were significantly different from the original debenture, including analysis of value of the beneficial conversion feature at the assignment/purchase date, the transactions are treated as extinguishment of the old debentures and recorded as new for accounting purposes. The conversion price under the debentures is $0.37125 and the lender may convert at any time until the debenture plus accrued interest is paid in full. Various other fees and penalties apply if payments or conversions are not done timely by the Company. The lender will be limited to maximum conversion of 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any one time.

[4] The Company entered into a 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, due December 4, 2018, subject to extension. The Note is secured with such assets of the Company equal to the principal and accrued interest, and is guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc. and Brownie’s High Pressor Compressor Services, Inc. and the personal guarantee of Robert M. Carmichael, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The conversion price under the Note range from $0.02 per share if converted in the first year to $0.125 if converted in year five. The lender may convert at any time until the debenture plus accrued interest is paid in full. Various other fees and penalties apply if payments or conversions are not done timely by the Company. The lender will be limited to maximum conversion of 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any one time.

[5] The Company entered into a 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, due December 1, 2018, subject to extension. The Note is secured with such assets of the Company equal to the principal and accrued interest, and is guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trebor Industries, Inc. and Brownie’s High Pressor Compressor Services, Inc. and the personal guarantee of Robert M. Carmichael, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The conversion price under the Note range from $0.02 per share if converted in the first year to $0.125 if converted in year five. The lender may convert at any time until the debenture plus accrued interest is paid in full. Various other fees and penalties apply if payments or conversions are not done timely by the Company. The lender will be limited to maximum conversion of 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company at any one time.

[1] On May 3, 2011, the Company borrowed $300,000 in exchange for a convertible debenture. The Debenture bears 10% interest per annum. The lender may at any time convert any portion of the debenture to common shares at a 30% discount of the “Market Price” of the stock based on the average of the previous ten (10) days weighted average closing prices on the date prior to the notice of conversion. The Company may prepay the debenture plus accrued interest at any time before maturity. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company the funds, the Company granted the lender 300,000 and 600,000 warrants at $337.50 and $472.50 per share, respectively. As a result, the Company allocated fair market value (“FMV”) to both the BCF and to the warrants, or $206,832, which was recorded as a discount against the debenture.
