BROWNIE’S
MARINE GROUP, INC.
NOTES
TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Description
of business
-
Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or
“BWMG”) designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving,
yacht based scuba air compressor and Nitrox Generation Systems, and scuba and
water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary Trebor Industries,
Inc. The Company sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and
does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name
of Trebor Industries, Inc.
Prior
to
August 22, 2007 the Company was known as United Companies Corporation
(hereinafter referred to as “UCC”). The Company changed its name to Brownie’s
Marine Group, Inc. during the third quarter of 2007 since it believes “Brownie’s
Marine Group” more closely reflects its line of business, and it also brings
brand recognition to the Company as a result of its existing
products.
History
-The
Company was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on November 26, 2001, with
authorized common stock of 250,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001. On
August 22, 2007, the Company effectuated a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of
the
Common Stock whereby every one hundred shares of Common Stock outstanding was
combined and reduced to one share of Common Stock. Fractional shares were
rounded up and this resulted in an additional 146 shares issued. All footnotes
and financial statement amounts that relate to common share data have been
retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
On
March
23, 2004, UCC consummated an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding capital
stock of Trebor Industries, Inc., dba Brownies Third Lung, in exchange for
950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“the UCC Transaction”). Prior to
the UCC Transaction, UCC was a non-operating public shell company with no
operations, nominal assets, accrued liabilities totaling $224,323 and 144,837
shares of common stock issued and outstanding; and Trebor Industries, Inc.,
dba
Brownies Third Lung, was a manufacturer and distributor of hookah diving, and
yacht based scuba air compressor and Nitrox Generation Systems from its factory
in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The UCC Transaction is considered to be a capital
transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. Inasmuch, the
UCC
Transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Trebor Industries, Inc.,
for the net monetary assets of a non-operational public shell company,
accompanied by a recapitalization. UCC issued 950,000 shares of its common
stock
for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Trebor Industries, Inc.
The accounting for the UCC Transaction is identical to that resulting from
a
reverse acquisition, except goodwill or other intangible assets will not be
recorded. Accordingly, these financial statements are the historical financial
statements of Trebor Industries, Inc. Trebor Industries, Inc. was incorporated
in September 17, 1981. Therefore, these financial statements reflect activities
from September 17, 1981 (Date of Inception for Trebor Industries, Inc.) and
forward.
Definition
of fiscal year
- The
Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
Use
of
estimates
- The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Reclassifications
-
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 financial statement amounts
to conform to the 2008 financial statement presentation.

DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
(continued)
|
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.
Inventory
-
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally
determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In,
First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of
raw
materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Company’s management
monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary
valuation adjustments when required.
Fixed
assets
- Fixed
assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives
of the assets, which is primarily 3 to 5 years except for the building that
is
being depreciated over a life of 39 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance
is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and
renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset,
cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain
or
loss is reflected in other income (expense).
The
Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred
that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or
whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible
impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows
over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their
recoverability.
Revenue
recognition
-
Revenues from product sales are recognized when the Company’s products are
shipped or when service is rendered. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are
recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage
of
cost incurred to date to estimated total cost of each contract. This method
is
used because management considers the percentage of cost incurred to date to
estimated total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the
contracts.
Contract
costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs
related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools,
repairs, and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs are charged
to
expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts
are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Change in job
performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions
to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions
are
determined.
Revenue
and costs incurred for time and material projects are recognized as the work
is
performed.
Product
development costs
-
Product development expenditures are charged to expenses as
incurred.
Advertising
and marketing costs
- The
Company recognizes advertising expenses in accordance with Statement of Position
93-7 “Reporting on Advertising Costs.” Accordingly, the Company expenses the
costs of producing advertisements at the time production occurs, and expenses
the costs of communicating advertisements in the period in which the advertising
space or airtime is used. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, was $9,235 and $6,085, respectively.
Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, was $17,758 and $16,882, respectively.
Customer
deposits and return policy -
The
Company 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 has been 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.

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

2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in
Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (“FIN 48”) which
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires
the
recognition of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the tax
position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities,
based on the technical merits of the position. The Company adopted FIN 48 in
the
first quarter of 2007 without significant financial impact.
Comprehensive
income (loss)
- The
Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income
(loss) equals comprehensive income (loss) for all periods.
Stock-based
compensation
- The
Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with Statement
of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 revised that requires that the Company
measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of
equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost
is
recognized over the period the employee is required to provide service in
exchange for the award.
The
Company did not issue any stock, warrants or options to employees for
compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Fair
value of financial instruments
- The
carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial
instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term
nature.
Earnings
(loss) per common share
- Basic
earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and
convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using the
weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable
period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number
of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect
is antidilutive. All common stock equivalent shares were excluded in the
computation at June 30, 2008 since their effect was antidilutive.
New
accounting pronouncements
- In May
2008, the Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Accounting
Statement (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“GAAP”). The GAAP hierarchy is currently set forth in the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 69, the Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. Auditing Standards No. 69 is (1) directed to
the
auditor, (2) is complex, and (3) ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting
Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as the FASB
Statements of Financial Accounting Statements, below industry practices that
are
widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process.
The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature
established by the FASB and instead of being directed to the auditor, should
be
directed to entities since they are responsible for selecting accounting
principles for financial statements that are presented in accordance with GAAP.
This statement is to become effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of
the Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of
Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
The
Company does not expect any significant financial impact upon adoption of SFAS
No. 162.

New
accounting pronouncements
(continued) - In May 2008, the FASB issued STAFF POSITION (FSP)
No.
APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in
Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement”. This FSP applies to convertible debt
instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other
assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded
conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative
under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. FSP No. 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may
be
settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not
addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible
Debt
and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, this FSP specifies
that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability
and
equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt
borrowing rate when interest cost recognized in subsequent periods. The FSP
is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company
does not currently have any debt instruments for which this FSP would apply
and
does not expect to have any significant financial impact upon adoption in
January 2009. Early adoption is not permitted.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This statement
is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in SFAS No. 133. Under
SFAS No. 161, entities will have to provide disclosures about (a) how and why
and entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related
interpretations, and (c), how derivative instruments and related hedged items
effect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for all financial statements issued for fiscal and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Since the Company does not
currently have any derivative instruments, nor does it engage in hedging
activities, the Company expects to have no significant financial impact as
a
result of adoption of SFAS No. 161.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements
for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling
interest in the acquiree, and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes
disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial
effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for the Company
with
respect to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after
January 1, 2009. The Company does not currently anticipate a significant
financial impact upon adoption of SFAS No. 141.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”).
SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests
in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling
interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of
retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated.
SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and
distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of
noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company as of
January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact,
if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on the consolidated financial position,
results of operations, and disclosures.

New
accounting pronouncements
(continued) - In December 2007, the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 relates to
the use of the “simplified” method, as discussed in SAB No.107 (“SAB 107”), in
developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share option in
accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. The Staff’s
view in SAB 107 was that it did not expect companies to use the simplified
method for share option grants after December 31, 2007 since it believed that
more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior would be
available to companies by this date. Since this is not true in all cases, SAB
110 states that under certain circumstances, the Staff will continue to accept
the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company is
currently evaluating this guidance and does not anticipate it will have
significant financial impact

OTHER
LIABILITIES - RELATED PARTIES

In
June
2006, the Company borrowed $266,000 from a customer. The proceeds of the loan
were used to satisfy the outstanding principal balance, redemption fees, and
accrued interest totaling $266,777 due under the secured convertible debentures
held by a third party lender. In July 2007, the Company settled the obligation
due the customer through a series of transactions that resulted in cancellation
of amounts due to and from the customer and related parties of the customer
and
the Company. The settlement resulted in cancellation of $156,426 of trade
accounts receivable due the Company from the customer and its related parties,
assumption of $110,351 of liabilities incurred by the customer due to related
parties of the Company, and settlement loss of $777. As of June 30, 2008 all
liabilities due the aforementioned related parties as a result of this
transaction had been settled in full.

OTHER
LIABILITIES
|
Other
liabilities of $7,204 at June 30, 2008 consists of $5,065 of on-line training
liability, and $2,139 of deferred tooling expense. Other liabilities of $9,477
at December 31, 2007 consists of $6,538 of on-line training liability, and
$2,939 of deferred tooling expense.
Effective
July 1, 2005, the Company began including on-line training certificates with
all
hookah units sold. The training certificates entitle the holder to an on-line
interactive course at no additional charge to the holder. The number of on-line
training certificates issued per unit is the same as the number of divers the
unit as sold is designed to accommodate (i.e., a three diver unit configuration
comes with three on-line training certificates). The certificates have an
eighteen-month redemption life after which time they expire. The eighteen-month
life of the certificates begins at the time the customer purchases the unit.
The
Company owes the on-line training vendor the agreed upon negotiated rate for
all
on-line certificates redeemed payable at the time of redemption. For
certificates that expire without redemption, no amount is due the on-line
training vendor. The Company had no historical data with regard to the
percentage of certificates that would be redeemed versus those that would
expire. Therefore, until the Company accumulated historical data related to
the
certificate redemption ratio, it assumed that 100% of certificates issued with
unit sales would be redeemed. Accordingly, at the time a unit was sold, the
related on-line training liability was recorded. The same liability was reduced
as certificates are redeemed and the related payments are made to the on-line
training vendor.
In
July
2007, the Company had accumulated 24 months of historical data regarding
redemption rates so the liability estimate was adjusted accordingly to reflect
the actual redemption history. On a go forward basis the Company is maintaining
a reserve for certificate redemption of 10% that approximates the historical
redemption rate.

REVERSE
STOCK SPLIT
|
On
August
22, 2007, the Company effectuated a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of the Common
Stock whereby every one hundred shares of Common Stock outstanding was combined
and reduced to one share of Common Stock. Fractional shares were rounded up
and
this resulted in an additional 146 shares issued.
12. |
STOCK
WARRANTS
|
As
of
March 31, 2007, all the rights to exercise 285,714 warrants had vested pursuant
to a Warrant agreement dated January 1, 2005. The exercise price of the warrants
is $.7 per share, which equaled the bid/ask price of the Company’s common stock
on January 1, 2005, the effective date of the expired consulting agreement.
The
warrants expire twenty-four months after the vesting date of each of tranche
of
71,429 at June 30, 2007, December 31, 2007, June 30, 2008, and December 31,
2008, respectively. Further, the warrants have “piggy-back” registration rights
and provide for either a cash or cashless exercise. The cashless exercise
provision provides for a discount in the amount of shares provided at exercise
based on a formula that takes into account as one of its factors the average
of
the closing sale price on the common stock for five trading days immediately
prior to but not including the date of exercise.
On
June
29, 2007 a warrant tranche of 71,429 related to the above agreement was
exercised. The cashless exercise was elected, and accordingly, 56,894 shares
of
common stock were issued. On December 28, 2007, an additional warrant tranche
of
71,429 related to the above agreement was exercised. The cashless exercise
was
elected, and accordingly, 27,181 shares of common stock were issued. The Company
recognized compensation expense for the stock warrants ratably over the term
of
the consulting agreement, January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2006, based on the
fair value of the stock warrants using the Black-Scholes model. As a result,
issuance of the stock in June and December 2007 were equity only transactions.
On June 30, 2008, a warrant tranche of 71,429 expired without being exercised.
On
the
date of the reverse stock split, the outstanding warrants underwent a 1-for-100
split, and amounts in the footnote pre-split have been adjusted to reflect
the
share amounts post split.

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 initial maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan
shall be 400,000 shares, and no more than 100,000 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 Board
of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time.
No
Options, Stock Purchase Rights or Stock Appreciation Rights were granted under
the Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
|
Effective
July 31, 2008, as disclosed in a Form 8K filed on August 1, 2008, the Company
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Robert Carmichael, the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and largest shareholder, pursuant to which the Company
acquired a granted European and pending U.S. Patent relating to active control
releasable ballast systems for diving equipment ( the “Intellectual Property”)
and certain contracts related the Intellectual Property (the “Contracts”). The
Contracts include a non-exclusive licensing agreement with a third party for
a
fee of $228,000. The Intellectual Property and Contracts are collectively
referred to as the “Assets”. Per the stated terms of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the purchase price for the Assets was $297,000, consisting of
issuance of 100,000 of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and
$15,000. The number of shares was determined based on the average closing price
of the common stock as reported on the “OTCBB” for the 12 month period ending
three days prior to the Effective Date, ($2.82 per share). For financial
reporting purposes, the value of the Assets will consist of the cash
consideration delivered at closing under current Contracts and Mr. Carmichael’s
historical cost for the Assets.
The
fee
received in July 2008 under the non-exclusive license fee referenced above
was
used to reduce certain Company liabilities, such as the related party note
payable due to 940 Associates, Inc. of approximately$181,000 was retired, and
the Company paid down the related party note payable to Robert M. Carmichael
by
approximately $35,000.
On
August
11, 2008, the related party note due Robert M. Carmichael was restructured.
The
$350,000 restructured note bearing 7.50% interest per annum, will be due in
monthly principal and interest payments of $7,050, and will mature on August
1,
2013 with a final principal and interest payment due of $4,360. The restructure
represents a reduction in the annual interest rate from 10% to 7.5%, an
acceleration of the maturity date from January 15, 2016 to August 1, 2013,
and
an increase in the monthly note payment from $6,047 to $7,050. Additionally,
the
restructured note is uncollateralized and eliminated the late payment penalty
clause.

Results
of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008, As Compared To the
Three
Months Ended June 30, 2007
Net
revenues.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, we had net revenues of $1,729,073 as compared
to net revenues of $923,309 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an
increase of $805,764, or 87.27%. The increase is primarily a result of an
approximate $525,000 increase in high pressure tankfill sales and an approximate
$280,000 increase in low pressure hookah system sales. The tankfill sales
increase is primarily attributable to three large custom tankfill projects
completed during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that resulted in an approximate
$530,000 increase in revenue coupled with a slight decline in non custom
high
pressure sales during the period compared to the same period in 2007. The
increase in low pressure hookah system sales and related during the second
quarter of 2008 was primarily attributable to an approximate $180,000 increase
in recreational hookah system sales, an increase of approximately $110,000
in
hose reel and built-in low pressure system sales, with the remaining
approximately $10,000 reduction comprised of a net change in other low pressure
sales compared to the same period in 2007.
Cost
of net revenues.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, we had cost of net revenues of $934,137
as
compared with cost of net revenues of $576,423 for the three months ended
June
30, 2007, an increase of $357,714, or 62.06%. The increase was primarily
to
support the increase in sales volume for the three months ended June 30,
2008 as
compared to same period in 2007. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of
net
revenues was down by approximately 8% in the second quarter of 2008 as compared
to the second quarter of 2008. This decline was primarily attributable to
the
sales mix that included the three large custom tankfill sales that were
completed in the second quarter of 2008 without comparable sales contributing
to
the mix in the second quarter of 2007.
20
Gross
profit.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, we had a gross profit of $794,936 as compared
to gross profit of $346,886 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an
increase of $448,050, or 129.16%. This increase is primarily attributable
to the
increase in net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared
to
the same period in 2007.
Operating
expenses.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, we had total operating expenses of $329,368
as
compared to total operating expenses of $254,850 for the three months ended
June
30, 2007, an increase of $74,518, or 29.24%. The increase is not primarily
attributable to a few significant items but rather is representative of an
across the board increase in most all operating expenses, some to support
the
increase in sales (e.g. telephone, travel, advertising, and bank card charges),
and others as a function of the increase in the overall cost of supplies
and
services (e.g. office supplies, auto expense, utilities, repairs and
maintenance, and insurance).
Other
(income) expense, net.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, we had other expense of $40,056 as compared
to
other income of $16,345 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase
in
other expense of $56,401, or 345.07%. This account is comprised of other
(income) expense and interest expense. Interest expense was fairly consistent
between the three months ended June 30, 20008 and the three months ended June
30, 2007 with a decrease of $2,008 attributable to the amortization of debt.
Other income declined from the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter
of
2008 by $58,409. This decline is primarily attributable to recognition of
approximately $55,000 worth of other income in second quarter of 2007 for
online
training certificates expiring unused, and the training liability estimate
being
adjusted downward to reflect the accumulated historical redemption rate.
There
was no comparable recognition of other income in second quarter of 2008.
Provision
for income tax expense.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2008, we had a provision for income tax expense
of
$202,254, as compared to a provision of income tax benefit of $37,295 for
the
three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase in provision for income tax
expense of $239,549, or 642.31%. This increase is primarily attributable
the
increase in net income before provision for income taxes for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Net
income. For
the
three months ended June 30, 2008, we had net income of $223,258, as compared
to
net income of $145,676 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase
of
$77,582, or 53.26%. The increase is attributable to the increase in gross
profit
of $448,050, net the increases in operating expenses of $74,518, other expenses
of $56,401, and the provision for income tax expense of $239,549.
Results
of Operations for the Six months Ended June 30, 2008, As Compared To the
Six
months Ended June 30, 2007
Net
revenues.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, we had net revenues of $2,923,874 as compared
to
net revenues of $1,802,566 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase
of $1,121,308, or 62.21%. The increase is primarily a result of three large
custom tankfill projects in process at June 30, 2008 that contributed
approximately $970,000 to revenue for the period. The balance of the increase
was primarily attributable to a net of an increase in low pressure hookah
system
sales and related of approximately $260,000 and a decrease of non-custom
tankfill sales of approximately $100,000. The increase in hookah system sales
and related of $260,000 was comprised primarily of increased sales of
recreational hookah systems, built in low pressure systems, and hose reels
systems
Cost
of net revenues.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, we had cost of net revenues of $1,763,789
as
compared with cost of net revenues of $1,162,273 for the six months ended
June
30, 2007, an increase of $601,516, or 51.75%. The increase was primarily
to
support the increase in sales volume for the six months ended June 30, 2008
as
compared to same period in 2007. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of
net
revenues was down approximately 4%, and this was primarily attributable to
the
sales mix that included the large custom tankfill sales in progress and
completed during the six months ended June 30, 2008 without comparable sales
contributing to the mix for the same period of 2007.
Gross
profit.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, we had a gross profit of $1,160,085 as compared
to gross profit of $640,293 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase
of $519,792, or 81.18%. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase
in net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the
same
period in 2007.
Operating
expenses.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, we had total operating expenses of $562,189
as
compared to total operating expenses of $506,421 for the six months ended
June
30, 2007, an increase of $55,768, or 11.01%. No individual significant items
made up this variance, but rather numerous net changes. The increase is not
primarily attributable to a few significant items, but rather is representative
of an across the board increase in most all operating expenses, some to support
the increase in sales (e.g. telephone, travel, advertising, and bank card
charges), and others as a function of the increase in the overall cost of
supplies and services (e.g. office supplies, auto expense, utilities, repairs
and maintenance, and insurance).
21
Other
(income) expenses, net.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, we had other expense of $69,731 as compared
to
other income of $4,889 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase
in
other expense of $74,620, or 1,526.28%. The largest components of the increase
in other expense are an increase in interest expense of $8,651 resulting
from
six months of interest during the first quarter of 2008 on mortgages on the
real
estate acquired in late February 2007 compared to approximately four months
of
interest on the mortgages during the same period in 2007, and other income
declined from the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008 by
$65,969. The $65,969 decline is primarily attributable to recognition of
approximately $55,000 worth of other income in second quarter of 2007 for
online
training certificates expiring unused, and the training liability estimate
being
adjusted downward to reflect the accumulated historical redemption rate.
There
was no comparable recognition of other income for the six months ended June
30,
2007.
Provision
for income tax expense.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2008, we had a provision for income tax expense
of
$207,850, as compared to a provision for income tax benefit of $29,938 for
the
six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $237,788, or 794.27%. This
increase is primarily attributable the increase in net income before provision
for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the
six
months ended June 30, 2007.
Net
income. For
the
six months ended June 30, 2008, we had net income of $320,315 as compared
to net
income of $168,699 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of
$151,616, or 89.87%. The increase is attributable to the increase in gross
profit of $519,792, net the increases in operating expenses of $55,768, other
expenses of $74,620, and the provision for income tax expense of $237,788.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
June 30, 2008, we had cash and other current assets of $1,106,007 and current
liabilities of $761,650, or a current ratio of 1.45%.
The
Company anticipates that cash generated from operations should be sufficient
to
satisfy the Company’s contemplated requirements for its current operations for
at least the next twelve months. The Company does not anticipate any significant
purchases of equipment during fiscal year 2008. The number and level of
employees at June 30, 2008 is deemed adequate to maintain the Company's
operations for at least the next 12 months.
Certain
Business Risks
The
Company is subject to various risks, which may materially harm its business,
financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider
the
risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this
filing
before deciding to purchase the Company’s common stock. These are not the only
risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. If any of these risks or
uncertainties actually occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition or
operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price
of
the Company’s common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your
investment.
Our
Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate
Significantly
Our
common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. 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.
22
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
Our
continued growth depends on our ability to attract and retain a Chief Financial
Officer, a Chief Operations Officer, and additional skilled associates. We
are
currently utilizing the services of two professional consultants in the absence
of a Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operations Officer. The loss of the
services of these consultants prior to our ability to attract and retain
a Chief
Financial Officer or Chief Operations Officer may have a material adverse
effect
upon us. Also, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our
existing personnel or attract additional qualified associates in the future.
Our
Failure to Obtain Intellectual Property and Enforce Protection Would Have
a
Material Adverse Effect on Our Business
Our
success depends in part on our ability, and the ability of our patent and
trademark licensors, entities owned and controlled by Robert M. Carmichael,
our
President and Chief Executive Officer, to obtain and defend our intellectual
property, including patent protection for our products and processes, preserve
our trade secrets, defend and enforce our rights against infringement and
operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties, both
in the
United States and in other countries. Despite our efforts to protect our
intellectual proprietary rights, existing copyright, trademark and trade
secret
laws afford only limited protection.
Our
industry is characterized by frequent intellectual property litigation based
on
allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights. Although we
are not
aware of any intellectual property claims against us, we may be a party to
litigation in the future.
We
May Be Unable To Manage Growth
Successful
implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth.
Growth
could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources.
If
we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition
or
operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may
decline.
Reliance
on Vendors and Manufacturers
We
deal
with suppliers on an order-by order basis and have no long-term purchase
contracts or other contractual assurances of continued supply or pricing.
In
addition, we have no long-term contracts with our manufacturing sources and
compete with other companies for production facility capacity. Historically,
we
have purchased enough inventory of products or their substitutes to satisfy
demand. However, unanticipated failure of any manufacturer or supplier to
meet
our requirements or our inability to build or obtain substitutes could force
us
to curtail or cease operations.
23
Dependence
on Consumer Spending
The
success of the products in the Brownie’s Third Lung and Brownie’s Tank Fill
lines depend largely upon a number of factors related to consumer spending,
including future economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income
such
as employment, business conditions, tax rates, and interest rates. In addition
our opportunities are highly dependent upon the level of consumer spending
on
recreational marine accessories and dive gear, discretionary spending items.
There can be no assurance that consumer spending in general will not decline,
thereby adversely affecting our growth, net sales and profitability or that
our
business will not be adversely affected by future downturns in the economy,
boating industry, or dive industry. If consumer spending on recreational
marine
accessories and dive gear declines, we could be forced to curtail or cease
operations.
Government
Regulations May Impact Us
The
SCUBA
industry is self-regulating; therefore, Brownie’s is not subject to government
industry specific regulation. Nevertheless, Brownie’s strives to be a leader in
promoting safe diving practices within the industry and is at the forefront
of
self-regulation through responsible diving practices. Brownie’s is subject to
all regulations applicable to “for profit” companies as well as all trade and
general commerce governmental regulation. All required federal and state
permits, licenses, and bonds to operate its facility have been obtained.
There
can be no assurance that our operations will not be subject to more restrictive
regulations in the future, which could force us to curtail or cease operations.
Bad
Weather Conditions Could Have an Adverse Effect on Operating
Results
Our
business is significantly impacted by weather patterns. Unseasonably cool
weather, extraordinary amounts of rainfall, or unseasonably rough surf, may
decrease boat use and diving, thereby decreasing sales. Accordingly, our
results
of operations for any prior period may not be indicative of results of any
future period.
Investors
Should Not Rely On an Investment in Our Stock for the Payment of Cash
Dividends
We
have
not paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and we do not anticipate
paying
cash dividends in the future. Investors should not make an investment in
our
common stock if they require dividend income. Any return on an investment
in our
common stock will be as a result of any appreciation, if any, in our stock
price.
The
Manufacture and Distribution of Recreational Diving Equipment Could Result
In
Product Liability Claims
We,
like
any other retailer, distributor and manufacturer of products that are designed
for recreational sporting purposes, face an inherent risk of exposure to
product
liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury.
Such claims may include, among other things, that our products are designed
and/or manufactured improperly or fail to include adequate instructions as
to
proper use and/or side effects, if any. We do not anticipate obtaining
contractual indemnification from parties-supplying
raw materials,
manufacturing
our products or marketing our products. In any event, any such indemnification
if obtained will be limited by our terms and, as a practical matter, to the
creditworthiness of the indemnifying party. In the event that we do not have
adequate insurance or contractual indemnification, product liabilities relating
to defective products could have a material adverse effect on our operations
and
financial conditions, which could force us to curtail or cease our business
operations.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Market
risk generally represents the risk of loss that may be expected to result
from
the potential change in value of a financial instrument as a result of
fluctuations in credit ratings of the issuer, equity prices, interest rates
or
foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments
for any purpose.
We
are
also subject to interest rate risk on the balance of our revolving credit
facility that matures on March 5, 2009 with Colonial Bank. Interest on the
credit facility is variable based on the lender’s base rate plus 1%. Our balance
at June 30, 2008 under the facility was $0. We do not believe there would
be a
large enough increase or decrease in the lender’s base through March 5, 2009
that would have a material effect on our future results of operations.

ITEM
4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As
of the
end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal
Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a
reasonable level of assurance of achieving the Company’s disclosure control
objectives. The Company’s Principal Executive Officer/Principal Accounting
Officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are,
in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level as of the end of period
covered by this report.
Changes
in Internal Controls
There
were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors during the period
covered by this report that have materially affected or are likely to materially
affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
