PART I

Overview

Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (referred to herein as “BWMG”, “the Company”, “we”, or “Brownie’s”), does business through its wholly owned subsidiary, Trebor Industries, Inc., d/b/a Brownie’s Third Lung, a Florida corporation. The Company designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and Nitrox Generation Systems, and scuba and water safety products. BWMG sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility located at 3001 NW 25^th Avenue, Suite 1, Pompano Beach, Florida 33069. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTCMarkets under the symbol “BWMG”. The Company’s website is www.Browniesmarinegroup.com. Information on the website is not a part of this report.

Mr. Carmichael has operated Trebor as its President since 1986. Since April 16, 2004, Mr. Carmichael has served as President, Acting Principal Accounting Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company. From March 23, 2004 to April 16, 2004, Mr. Carmichael served as the Company’s Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer.

The Company’s diving and marine based products are generally marketed under the Brownie’s Third Lung, Brownie’s Tankfill, and Brownie’s Public Safety trade names.

Executive Summary and Business Strategy

From a garage based business making hookah diving systems in the late 1960’s, the Company has grown into a niche manufacturing and distribution Company with dive-oriented product classified into three categories: Brownie’s Third Lung, Brownie’s Tankfill, and Brownie’s Public Safety. 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 in the boat/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.

The Company holds numerous patents and is dedicated to designing and building the world’s finest and most innovative products, and to setting the industry standard for the world’s best yacht-based diving systems. 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 (GI-PFD). 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 currently on the market by utilizing a variable speed technology that controls battery consumption based on diver demand. Our 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 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 then 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 not currently pursuing aggressive expansion into this market until it has sufficient working capital to do so.

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.

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, such as propeller clearing, overboard item retrieval and pool maintenance, to name only a few.

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 diver 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: 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 it as a choice for rapid response for water-related emergencies. A first-responder or officer on-scene can initiate the location and extraction of victims while the dive team is en-route, saving valuable time and increasing the 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 15 minutes of air at the surface. The air cell remains stowed under the protective cover and can be partially inflated to achieve positive flotation. The covers specially designed break-away zipper bursts open to provide instant inflation yet “heals” and can be repacked and fastened quickly in the field. The HELO offers all the same features, but has been specially designed and modified for rescue divers working from helicopters. By placing the cylinder in the front and adding leg straps, the HELO allows divers to use the standard seating configurations. The advantages of this system over full sized SCUBA rigs are increased mobility for the diver and diminished space requirements for the gear. Since the bottle is mounted at the diver’s waist, the diver can more easily control his gear during deployment, further adding to the comfort and safety.

The Dive Industry and Growth Strategy

Currently, we believe that no company in the dive industry offers a complete line of products and services to serve all divers’ needs. The dive equipment manufacturing industry is highly fragmented with multiple manufacturers producing very similar products. The top-ten volume leaders in the dive manufacturing industry provide the same product mix: Scuba BC’s (buoyancy compensators), regulators, gauges, masks, fins, snorkels, wetsuits, and a few of the necessary accessories. These mature companies offer the product selection to the “diving” market.

New markets and classes of divers have developed over the years. The sport sector of Third Lung and Kayak diving have emerged as a result of snorkel divers that wanted to sustain depth or Scuba divers that wanted more time in shallow waters with enhanced efficiency.

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.

The boating industry was hard hit a couple years ago by the economic downturn coupled with the increase in fuel prices. 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.

Statistics

According to Global Certification and Membership Statistics as updated February 2014 on the Professional Association of Diver Instructors (PADI) website, www.padi.com, worldwide PADI certifications of divers has grown annually from over 500,000 certifications in 1992, to consistently over 900,000 annual certifications annually from 2003 to 936,149 certifications in 2013. There are other scuba training organizations also issuing scuba dive training certifications, but PADI is the training organization issuing the largest number of certifications annually. (source: PADI)

Approximately 88.5 million people went boating in the US in 2013; this represents approximately 37% of the adult population in the United States. There were approximately 15.9 million boats in use in 2013, down slightly from approximately 16.0 million in use in 2012. (source: National Marine Manufacturers Association)

In 2014, the Company was represented either through their own presence or by a dealer at the following annual trade shows: The Miami Yacht and Brokerage Show, The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the Palm Beach Boat Show, and the Seattle Boat Show. In 2013, the Company was also represented at these shows in addition to the Annapolis Boat Show and the Dubai International Boat Show.

Websites

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.

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 year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, were $4,087 and $75,760, 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 including, 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 two Company’s owned by the Chief Executive Officer. Combined sales to these five entities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, represented 41.28% and 29.15%, respectively, of total net revenues. See Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence for additional information on these related parties transactions. Sales to no other customers for the years ended December 31, 2014, or 2013 represented greater than 10% of net revenues for the respective periods.

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. Most materials are readily available from multiple vendors. Some materials require greater lead times than others. Accordingly, we strive to avoid out of stock situations through careful monitoring of these inventory lead times, and through avoiding single source vendors whenever possible.

Competition

We consider the most significant competitive factors in our business to be fair prices, feature advantages, shopping convenience, the variety of available of products, knowledgeable sales personnel, rapid and accurate fulfillment of orders, and prompt customer service. We currently recognize one significant competitor in hookah sales and 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 competitor’s in 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. One of our most significant competitors in the highly specialized field of yacht based compressors ceased operations at the end of 2012.

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.

Personnel

We currently have thirteen (13) full time employees and two (2) part time employees at our facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. Three (3) are classified as exempt sales and administrative or management, and twelve (12) 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.

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.

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

In October 2014, the corporate headquarters, factory and distribution center of the Company relocated from 936/940 NW 1st Street, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33311 to 3001 NW 25^th Avenue, Suite 1, Pompano Beach, Florida 33069. The 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 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 $1,500 per month subject to periodic adjustment. 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.

From time to time we are 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. See “Risk Factors” below. As previously disclosed, we are co-defendants under an action filed by an individual in June 2013 in the Circuit Court of Broward County claiming personal injury resulting from use of a Brownie’s Third Lung. Plaintiff has claimed damages in excess of $1,000,000. We believe such claim is without merit and intend to continue to aggressively defend such action.

None.

The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (global) under the symbol “BWMG”. The Company’s high and low closing bid prices by quarter during 2014 and 2013, as provided by the OTC Markets (global) are provided below. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. On March 5, 2015, the quoted closing price of our common stock was $.003 per share.

Holders of Common Stock

As of March 5, 2015, we believe the Company had in excess of 250 shareholders of record.

Dividends

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

Sales of Unregistered Securities

In addition to those unregistered securities previously disclosed in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the period covered by this report, the Company sold securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) as described below. The securities were issued with a legend restricting their transferability absent registration of applicable exemption.

During the three months ended December 31, 2014, the holders’ of the Company’s convertible debentures converted $10,170 principal outstanding into 6,779,871 shares of common stock. The stock was issued without restrictive legend pursuant to Rule 144, as the holders acquired convertible notes issued by the Company more than six months prior to the date of conversion and did not pay any additional consideration for the shares.

During the three months ended December 31, 2014, the Company converted $13,500 employee compensation payable to Alexander Fraser Purdon, related party, for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, to 5,017,585 shares of restricted common stock.

Information not required by smaller reporting company.

Restatement

We restated our consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2013 to correct an error in an overstatement of inventory by $107,324 and understatement of net loss by the same amount due to a system identified deficiency when timing of entry of new inventory items in sales order module preceded entry in the inventory module during the year ended December 31, 2013. This overstatement predominantly related to custom orders.  The impact of the restatement on our consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2013 is discussed in Note 23 –Restatement of 2013 Consolidated Financial Statements” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.  All information included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition has been correspondingly corrected to give effect to such restatement.

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.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 financial statement amounts to conform to the 2014 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 the Company was profitable in 2014, we have otherwise incurred losses since 2009. We have had a working capital deficit since 2009.

In addition, the Company is behind on payments on matured convertible debentures, related party notes payable, accrued liabilities and interest –related parties, and certain vendor payables. The Company is working out delinquencies on a case by case basis. However, there can be no assurance that cooperation the Company has received thus far will continue.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company formed a joint venture with one dive entity, and in the first quarter of 2012, purchased the assets of another, with assumption of their retail location lease. The Company accomplished both transactions predominantly through issuance of restricted common stock in BWMG. The Company believed these transactions would help generate sufficient future working capital. Neither endeavor generated the anticipated profit or cash-flow. Therefore, effective May 31, 2013, the Company closed and ceased operations at its retail facility. The Company was still involved in the joint venture as of December 31, 2014. Because the Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about BWMG’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from date of issue of the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. BWMG has issued a number of convertible debentures to finance working capital needs. The Company has paid for legal and consulting services with restricted stock to maximize working capital, and intends to continue this practice when possible. In addition, the Company implemented some cost saving measures and will continue to explore more to reduce operating expenses.

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

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.

Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment – Property, Plant and Equipment 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 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.

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 occur. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the years ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, was $3,686 and $43,583, respectively.

Customer deposits and returns 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 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.

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.

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 been determined through use of the quoted stock price.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company transacted a fair number of stock-based compensation transactions as reflected on face of the Statement of Stockholders’ Deficit. This included amortized prepaid equity based compensation for personal guarantees of Chief Executive Officer on Company’s bank debt; additional compensation expense to the Chief Executive Officer payable in stock; Board of Directors’ Fees and Bonuses; certain consulting, legal, and other professional fees; equity based incentive and/or retention bonuses for some employees, and consultants; some accrued payroll settled in stock; and operating expense for exclusivity pursuant to strategic alliance agreement payable. Beneficial conversion features on convertible debentures – The fair value of the stock upon which to base the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) computation has been 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, 2014, and 2013, 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. The fair value of our convertible debentures was the principal balance due at December 31, 2014, and 2013, or $376,645 and $526,910, respectively The principal balance due approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. On the face of the balance sheet the convertible debentures are presented net of discount, which is less than fair market value at period end dates. At December 31, 2014, discount had been fully accreted so principal balance equaled convertible debentures, net balance.

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 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 for the years ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, since their effect was antidilutive.

New accounting pronouncements

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting and Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-206): Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The ASU requires an entity’s management to assess its ability to continue as going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. This includes (1) providing a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) requiring an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) providing principles for considering then mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) requiring certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) requiring an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) requiring an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The ASU is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. The Company elected early adoption for the year ended December 31, 2014, with insignificant impact to both its current process for evaluating ability to continue as going concern and to its existing disclosures.

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 BWMG’s 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 its estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts and deferred income tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013

Net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had net revenues of $2,735,841 as compared to net revenues of $2,870,688 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $134,847, or 4.70%. The Company attributes the small decline in sales to some downtime in the fourth quarter when the Company’s headquarters and manufacturing facility moved to Pompano Beach from Fort Lauderdale. For the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared 2013, tankfill system and related sales decreased by approximately $246,000, scuba system and related sales decreased by approximately $45,000, public safety sales decreased by approximately $45,042, and the overall decrease was partially offset by approximately $169,000 increase in hookah systems and related sales.

Cost of net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had cost of net revenues of $1,991,626 as compared with cost of net revenues of $2,096,879 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $105,253, or 5.02%. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of net revenues was consistent between the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Gross profit. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had gross profit of $744,215 as compared to gross profit of $773,809 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $29,594, or 3.82%.

Operating expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had total operating expenses of $623,261 as compared to total operating expenses of $1,534,897 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $911,636, or 59.39%. The $911,636 decrease is due to $839,963 decrease in selling, general and administrative costs and $71,673 decrease in research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to same period in 2013. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs of $839,963 for year ended December 31, 2014, over the same period in 2013, is primarily comprised of decrease in Chief Executive Officer’s compensation of approximately $453,000 (primarily non-cash); approximately $113,000 decrease in legal expense (partially non-cash); approximately $129,000 less consulting and other professional fees (primarily non-cash); $27,500 decrease in Board of Director Fees (non-cash); approximately $40,000 less trade show and advertising expenses; approximately $34,000 less in health insurance costs; approximately $18,000 decrease in dive shop payroll due to closure of retail store in 2013; and approximately $25,000 net decrease in other individually insignificant account increases and decreases during the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to year ended December 31,2013. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Chief Executive Officer reduced his salary, and the non-employee Board of Director compensation agreement was cancelled resulting in the significant decreases for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The primary reason for decline in consulting and other professional fees is consultants who accepted equity based compensation arrangements during the year ended December 31, 2013, had ceased providing services before the year ended December 31, 2014. The primary reason for decline in health insurance expense from the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 21, 2013 is result of a lower cost policy and less employees on in the plan during the current period. The decline in advertising expenses and other individually insignificant account balances is result of further streamlining of expenses and cash flows overall. The $71,673 decrease in research and development resulted due to the reduction in Chief Executive Officers salary since a percentage of his salary is allocated to research and development.

 Other (income) expense, net. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had other expense, net of $26,541 as compared to other expense, net of $127,044 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $100,503, or 79.11%. This account is comprised of other (income) expense, net, and interest expense. Other (income) expense, net, decreased by $44,022 income, net for the period, and is comprised of transactions that are generally of a non-recurring nature. Interest expense decreased by $144,525 for the period. The $44,022 decrease in other income, net during the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, is primarily attributable to the following: approximately $56,000 decrease in sales commissions, approximately $17,000 decrease in royalty income on licensed patents; $47,500 return and retirement of year end 2012 stock bonuses granted to certain consultants during the first half of 2013; $25,788 loss on disposal of fixed assets, net of income from other items sold at time of 2014 relocation of the headquarters and manufacturing facility; $19,566 headquarters and manufacturing facility relocation expense in 2014; approximately $25,000 downward adjustment of estimated foreclosure liability during 2013; approximately $12,000 decline in other income, net of individually significant transactions; and partially offset by $31,463 write-off of accrued legal expense in 2014 due to resolution of prior years’ overbilling, and approximately $83,150 decrease in loss on extinguishment and/or settlement of convertible debentures. The $144,525 decrease in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, is primarily due to approximately $155,000 less in convertible debenture interest due to fully accreted discounts before year ended December 31,2014, as well as lower convertible debenture balance outstanding during the period; and is partially offset by approximately $14,000 increase in related party interest for loan provided by non-employee Board of Director in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Provision for income tax expense. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had a provision for income tax expense of $44, as compared to $7,478 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $7,434, or 99.41%. The decrease is primarily a result of adjustment to valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets attributable to realization of the net operating loss carryforward, which occurred during year ended December 31, 2014.

Net loss. For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had net income of $94,369 as compared to net loss of $895,610 for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase in net income of $989,979 or 110.54%. The $989,979 increase in net income is attributable to $911,636 decrease in operating expenses; $100,503 decrease in other expense, net; $7,434 decrease in provision for income taxes; and partially offset by $29,594 decrease in gross profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and current assets of $774,291 and current liabilities of $1,356,642, or a current ratio of .57 to 1. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and current assets of $950,643 and current liabilities of $1,760,058, or a current ratio of .54 to 1.

Contractual obligations of the Company as of December 31, 2014 are set forth in the following table:

Payments due by period

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.

We incurred net income of approximately $94,000 in 2014, and net loss of approximately $896,000 in 2013. Additionally, the Company has negative working capital, is behind on payments due for matured convertible debentures, related party notes payable, accrued liabilities and interest –related parties, 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, thus contributing to continued operating losses.

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.

Since October 4, 2010, the Company has issued convertible debentures to several lenders and other third parties. At December 31, 2014 the outstanding principal balance of these debentures was approximately $377,000. The debentures convert under various conversion formulas, all of which are 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.

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.

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 affects 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 currently lack 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. We currently do not have any product liability insurance. 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.

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 determined that as of February 25, 2015, we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework as a result of identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to overstatement of inventory by $107,324 and understatement of net loss by the same amount due to a system identified deficiency when timing of entry of new inventory items in sales order module preceded entry in the inventory module during the year ended December 31, 2013. This overstatement predominantly related to custom orders and caused us to restate our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 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.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and our Chief Financial Officer, CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014. Based on that evaluation and as described below under “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting,” we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)) due to our lack of internal control over financial reporting related to a system identified deficiency when timing of entry of new inventory items in sales order module preceded entry in the inventory module during the year ended December 31, 2013 which was determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on February 25, 2015, that caused us to restate our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 to correct an overstatement of inventory by $107,324 and understatement of net loss by the same amount due to a system identified deficiency when timing of entry of new inventory items in sales order module preceded entry in the inventory module during the year ended December 31, 2013. These weaknesses are described in more detail in the next section. As a result of these material weaknesses, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2014.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, due to the material weaknesses described below, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2014.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The specific material weaknesses identified by our management were as follows: a lack of personnel with an appropriate level of SEC reporting and accounting experience and training in the application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) commensurate with our financial reporting requirements and business environment. The weakness is principally due to lack of working capital to retain qualified employees, which are integral to the Company’s process for timely disclosure and financial reporting. Furthermore, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Robert Carmichael, lacks experience in U.S. GAAP and financial accounting. The weaknesses resulted in the inventory system deficiency during 2013 disclosed above. In addition, historical deficiencies have resulted in failure to timely file Form 8-K current reports relating to extinguishing debenture agreements, entering into new debenture agreements, significant debenture conversions, and other equity issuances during the period covered by this report. These transactions are disclosed in the notes to the Company’s financial statements for the period covered by this report included herein.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

This report shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control

We believe the following actions we are taking will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses described above: we strengthened both our preventative and detective controls over inventory recording and reporting. We rely extensively on outside service providers to comply with our financial reporting requirements. Since our inception we have relied on an outside consultant with experience in this area to assist us prepare our financial statements and disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Until such time as we have a Chief Executive Officer and/or Chief Financial Officer with the requisite expertise in U.S. GAAP, there are no assurances that the significant deficiency in our internal control over timely financial reporting and disclosure.  

To mitigate the chance for reoccurrence of this noted deficiency, as disclosed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this 10-K Report, the Company is currently in the process of addressing its working capital shortfall whereby this would provide the needed funds to retain the legal, accounting, and external audit services required for timely disclosure and financial reporting.   As we work towards improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and implement remediation measures identified above, we may supplement or modify these remediation measures described above.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error 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. Due to 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 our company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of our controls performed during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.

PART III

The following is a list of our executive officers and directors. All directors serve one-year terms or until each of their successors are duly qualified and elected.

Robert M. Carmichael. Since April 16, 2004, Mr. Carmichael has served as BWMG’s President, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, and Director. From March 23, 2004 through April 16, 2004, Mr. Carmichael served as the Company’s Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Carmichael has served as president of Trebor Industries since 1986. Mr. Carmichael is the holder and co-holder of numerous patents that are used by Trebor Industries and several other major companies in the diving industry.

Mikkel Pitzner. Mr. Pitzner was appointed to the board in December 2010. Since 1996, Mr. Pitzner has served as chief executive officer of Copenhagen Limousine Service, a corporate limousine service company based in Denmark. Since 2001 he has served as chief executive officer of The Private Car Company, also a corporate transportation company located in Denmark. Since 2007, he has been a partner and board member with FT Group Holding, an advertising company based in Denmark and Sweden. From 2003 through 2005 he owned and operated Halcyon Denmark, an importer and distributor of Halcyon diving products.  The Company’s chief executive officer is an affiliate of Halcyon Manufacturing, Inc.  He also serves on the board of directors of VMC Pitzner, AGJ Pitzner, SMCE Pitzner, Corona Pitzner, construction companies in Denmark. Mr. Pitzner was selected as a director for his general business management with specific experience in diving industry.

Directors

Our Board of Directors may consist of up to five (5) seats. Pursuant to our Bylaws, a majority of directors may appoint a successor to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors without shareholder vote. Our Board has determined that Mr. Pitzner is independent under the NASDAQ Stock Market listing rules.

Committees

Currently, the Company has not established any committees of the Board of Directors. Because the board of directors consists of only three members, the board has not delegated any of its functions to committees. The entire board of directors acts as our audit committee as permitted under Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act. We do not have any independent directors who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert. We believe that it has been, and may continue to be, impractical to recruit independent directors unless and until we are significantly larger. None of the current members of the Board of Directors is considered a “financial expert” as defined under item 407 of Regulation S-K.

Compensation of Directors

None.

Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on available information, filings required under Section 16(a) were complied with for the period covered by this report, except as follows: Mr. Alexander Frasier Purdon filed one Form 3 and three Form 4’s during 2014 to report monthly compensation of payroll in stock, and none of the Forms were timely filed.

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

On October 30, 2013, the Company signed a secured promissory note, with Mikkel Pitzner, the non-employee Board of Director (BOD) for $85,000. The proceeds were used to settle the Branch Banking and Trust (“BBT”) Judgment.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operation, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operation and its cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to 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.
