NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 Pompano Beach, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name of Trebor Industries, Inc. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets (pink) under the symbol “BWMG”.

Basis of Presentation – The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented have been included.

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 2014 financial statement amounts to conform to the 2015 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.

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

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

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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Going Concern –The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. Although profitable for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the three months ended June 30, 2015, we have otherwise incurred losses since 2009, and had a loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015. We have predominantly had a working capital deficit since 2009. The Company is behind on payments due for matured convertible debentures, related parties notes payable, accrued liabilities and interest – related parties, and certain vendor payables. The Company is handling delinquencies on a case by case basis. However, there can be no assurance that cooperation the Company has received thus far will continue. Payment delinquencies are further addressed in Note 7. RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS, Note 9. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES, Note 10. OTHER LIABILITIES, Note 11. NOTES PAYABLE, and Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES.

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 the financial statements are issued. 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 as an interim measure to finance working capital needs as discussed in Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES and may continue to raise additional capital through sale of restricted common stock or other securities, and obtaining some short term loans. The Company has paid for legal and consulting services with restricted stock in past years 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 BWMG fails to raise additional funds when needed, or does not have sufficient cash flows from sales, it may be required to scale back or cease operations, liquidate assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 three months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, was $600 and $292 respectively. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and 2014, was $2,319 and $620, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 determined through use of the quoted stock price. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company compensated and/or converted all accrued payroll to stock for one related party employee. For further discussion see Note 7. RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS,

Beneficial conversion features on convertible debentures – The fair value of the stock upon which beneficial conversion feature (BCF) computations, as applicable, was determined through use of the quoted stock price. See Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES for further discussion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued) – At June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, 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 the Company’s convertible debentures was the principal balance due at June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, as presented on the face of the balance sheet.

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 and equivalent shares were excluded in the computation of dilutive earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2015, since their effect was antidilutive. They were included for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, and for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

New accounting pronouncements – The Company believes there was no 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.

Equity based compensation to employee –The Company pays the employment compensation of Alexander F. Purdon, an employee and a more than 10% shareholder of the Company, in restricted shares of stock in lieu of cash.

On-line training certificates accompany 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 eighteen-month redemption from the time customer purchases the unit before expiration. The Company owes the on-line training vendor an agreed upon negotiated rate for on-line certificates redeemed prior to expiration, and payment is due upon redemption. The Company estimates the on-line training liability based on the historical redemption rate of approximately 10%. The Company continues to monitor and maintain a reserve for certificate redemption that approximates the historical redemption rate.

During the second quarter of 2010, the holder of the majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorizing the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock as authorized has such voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights as may be determined by our Board of Directors of the Company from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Before modification, the existing Articles of Incorporation did not authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock. The Company authorized the preferred stock for the purpose of added flexibility in seeking capital and potential acquisition targets.  The amendment authorizing the issuance of shares of preferred stock grants the Board authority, without further action by our stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more series and to designate certain rights, preferences and restrictions of each series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. As of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the 425,000 shares of preferred stock are owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The preferred shares have 250 to 1 voting rights over the common stock, and are convertible into 31,481 shares of common stock. The preferred stock votes with the Company’s common stock, except as otherwise required under Nevada law. Accordingly, at June 30, 2015, Mr. Carmichael has approximately 61% of the combined voting power of the Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a single class and will control the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control.

From time to time the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including matters relating to product liability claims. Such product liability claims sometimes involving wrongful death or injury have historically been covered by product liability insurance, which provided coverage for each claim up to $1,000,000. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company did not renew its product liability insurance since the renewal policy amount was cost prohibitive. The Company is currently seeking a new insurance carrier or alternative means to satisfy this potential liability exposure, as well as to fulfil the sales terms of some of our customers, which require the insurance coverage.

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. The insurance carrier’s legal counsel indicates unfavorable outcome is possible, but not probable. We believe such claim is without merit and intend to continue to aggressively defend such action. In addition, as previously disclosed, we are also co-defendant under an action filed March 2015, in the Circuit Court of Broward County claiming personal injury resulting from the use of a Brownie’s Third Lung product. This claim falls outside the Company’s period of insurance coverage. The Company believes the claim to be a Workers Compensation claim relating exclusively against other defendant and without merit, and has retained counsel to aggressively defend this action.

The Company is co-defendant in an action filed by and individual in the Circuit Court of Broward County in March 2015, claiming personal injury resulting from use of the Brownie’s Third Lung. The claim is also for damages in excess of $1,000,000. The claim falls outside the Company’s insurance coverage period. The Company has retained legal counsel, believes the claim is completely without basis in fact or merit, and intends to aggressively defend.

On August 14, 2014, the Company entered into a new lease commitment. Terms of the new lease include thirty-seven month term commencing on September 1, 2014; payment of $5,367 security deposit; base rent of approximately $4,000 per month over the term of the lease plus sales tax; and payment of 10.76% of annual operating expenses (i.e. common areas maintenance), which is approximately $1,500 per month subject to periodic adjustment.

On July 1, 2014 the following complaint was settled in full: On December 18, 2012, Undersea Breathing Systems, Inc. (“UBS”) filed an amended complaint against the Company compelling purchase of Medal Model No. 4241 membranes or equivalent pursuant to pricing agreement in 2011. UBS is the holder of the convertible debenture referenced in Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES Ref (2). Under the complaint, UBS asserted the Company was to purchase no less than 24 membranes from the company per year for $2,000 and $1,000, cash and Company stock, respectively, per membrane. The Company took delivery, paid cash, and issued stock for 14 Medal Model No 4241 membranes pursuant to the stated pricing in 2011, plus issued an additional $24,000 stock toward future purchases of 24 membranes. However, the Company has not purchased or taken delivery of additional membranes. At the same time the stock was issued the Company granted UBS a convertible debenture of $76,000 and reduced its balance to $48,000 when the Company paid $28,000 cash and took delivery of the 14 membranes. Therefore, UBS currently has $24,000 worth of stock and a $48,000 convertible debenture for which the Company took no membrane deliveries. On July 1, 2014, the court granted dismissal of the final remaining complaint asserted by UBS. Associated with the dismissal, the Company reversed in the third quarter of 2014, related prepaid inventory and convertible debenture resulting in a loss on settlement of $14,850.

Effective December 31, 2014, the Company received notice from Pompano Dive Center, LLC. (“PDC”) of intent to cancel the joint venture agreement discussed below. During the second quarter of 2015, PDC returned the 3,394 shares of its stock in BWMG fulfiling the terms of dissolution. Therefore, during the second quarter of 2015, the Company reversed the $24,740 long term asset (purchase option) tied to the stock provided PDC discussed below, with corresponding reduction in additional paid in capital.

On November 7, 2011, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Equity Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”) with PDC. PDC owns a retail store, several dive boats, and has a classroom for training divers. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will provide PDC with an assortment of Brownie’s Third Lung products on consignment, and PDC will act as a training and demonstration site for Brownie’s Third Lung products. Beginning in 2012, both parties ceased operating under the consignment inventory arrangement. Inventory not sold was returned, and inventory was purchased for sale. See Note: 7 RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS - Net revenues and accounts receivable – related parties for further information related to pre-2015 related party information. Terms of sale to PDC were no more favorable than those granted other dealers of the Company’s products.

In addition, the Agreement provided for a non-binding letter of intent for the possible acquisition of PDC in exchange for BWMG’s stock for the yet to be agreed upon value of PDC. In anticipation of a possible purchase, the Agreement provides BWMG with a 33% interest in PDC. As part of the transaction, BWMG issued 3,394 restricted shares of its common stock with fair market value on the date of the transaction of $24,740 to PDC, reflected in other assets in the long-term portion of the Company’s balance sheet.

If BWMG purchased PDC, the stock issued by BWMG would be credited to the purchase price. Further, PDC is required to remit no later than 45 days from the end of each quarter, a 33% share in pre-tax net profits. At least 50% of the total pre-tax profits are required for distribution under the Agreement, and BWMG is not required to share in losses.

Upon termination of this Agreement by party and/or a written purchase and sales agreement is not entered into by the parties, then the parties’ respective interests in each other’s business will revert back to the original party. Accordingly, if this should happen, PDC will relinquish the interest acquired in BWMG through this Agreement and BWMG will do the same. All property at PDC owned by BWMG will be returned to BWMG at that time as well. Because the joint venture is cancellable at any time by either party with return of respective interest transferred to each as per the joint venture agreement, possible acquisition of PDC is in the form of a non-binding letter of intent, each entities assets and liabilities remain their own, BWMG will not share in any of PDC losses or additional expenses unless otherwise approved, and the management and operation of PDC remains with PDC, the Company accounted for the investment in PDC under the Cost basis. Since inception of the Agreement PDC has reported pre-tax net losses. Therefore, to-date there has been no profit sharing due the Company under the agreement.

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 297 shares, and no more than 75 Shares of Common Stock may be granted to any one Participant with respect to Options, Stock Purchase Rights and Stock Appreciation Rights during any one calendar year period. Common Stock to be issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued or shares held in treasury by the Company. The term of the Plan shall be ten years. The Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time. All 297 options were issued under the plan prior to January 1, 2010, and to-date all remain outstanding.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015, as Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Net revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had net revenues of $711,213 as compared to net revenues of $865,124 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $153,911, or 17.79%. Sales of hookah systems and related was down approximately $38,000 for the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2014. However, gas and electric powered hookah system and related sales were up for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 with the increase offset by decline primarily in sales of battery-powered hookah systems and related sales. Battery powered hookah systems have been off the market for approximately a year undergoing next generation engineering and were reintroduced to market in July 2015 explaining the current period decline. The Company expects battery powered hookah sales to return to previous levels by September or October 2015. Sales in tankfill systems and related sales, and SCUBA and related sales was down by approximately $109,000, and $9,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to same period in 2014. Sales in Public Safety and Other category increased approximately $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2105 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2104.

Cost of net revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had cost of net revenues of $475,600 as compared with cost of net revenues of $564,883 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $89,283, or 15.81%. The decrease during the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to first quarter ended June 30, 2014, is primarily attributable to the decrease in material costs of approximately $66,000 due to decrease in net revenues. Representing the next largest area of decrease in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, was approximately $17,000 decrease in overhead allocation primarily due to discontinuance of product liability insurance in the third quarter of 2014, which was an expense allocable as overhead.

Gross profit. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had a gross profit of $235,613 as compared to gross profit of $300,241 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $64,628, or 21.53%. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to decrease in sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to same period in 2014.

Operating expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had operating expenses of $167,099 as compared to operating expenses of $158,945 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $8,154, or 5.13%. The Company considers operating expenses comparable between the second quarter of 2015 and the second quarter 2014.

Other (income) expense, net. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had other expense, net of $7,702, as compared to other income, net of $55,548 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $47,846 other expense, net, or 86.13%. This account is comprised of other (income) expense, net with $(41,097) change during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014; and interest expense, which declined $6,749 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to same period in 2014. Other (income) expense, net is comprised of transactions that are generally of a non-recurring nature. The $41,077 other income, net increase is primarily due to $24,486 loss on disposal of fixed assets, and $14,850 loss on convertible debenture settlement occurring in the second quarter of 2014 without comparable transactions in the second quarter of 2015. The $6,749 decrease in interest expense during the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the second quarter of 2014, is primarily due to approximately $2,400 less in convertible debenture interest due lower convertible debenture balance outstanding during the second quarter of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014; and approximately $4,300 decrease in interest expense related party due to decline in note payable balance during the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Provision for income tax expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had a provision for income tax expense of $43 as compared to a provision for income tax benefit of $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $43, or insignificant.

Net income (loss). For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we had net income of $60,812 as compared to net income of $85,748 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $24,936, or 29.08%. The $24,396 decrease in net income is primarily attributable to $64,628 decrease in gross profit, and $8,154 increase in other expense, net; and partially offset by increase in other income, net of $47,846.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015, as Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Net revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had net revenues of $1,175,721 as compared to net revenues of $1,453,508 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $277,787, or 19.11%. Sales of hookah systems and related was down approximately $88,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. However, gas and electric powered hookah system and related sales were up for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014, with the increase offset by decline primarily in sales of battery-powered hookah systems and related sales. Battery powered hookah systems have been off the market for approximately a year undergoing next generation engineering and were reintroduced to market in July 2015 explaining the current period decline. The Company expects battery powered hookah sales to return to previous levels by September or October 2015. Sales in tankfill systems and related sales, and SCUBA and related sales was down by approximately $184,000, and $17,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to same period in 2014.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had cost of net revenues of $834,192 as compared with cost of net revenues of $1,029,955 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $195,763, or 19.01%. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to six months ended June 30, 2014, is primarily attributable to approximately $142,000 the decrease in material costs including approximately $124,000 due to decrease in net revenues, and approximately 1.5% increase in overall material costs of approximately $18,000. Representing the next largest area of decrease in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, was the approximately $32,000 decrease in overhead allocation primarily due to discontinuance of product liability insurance in the third quarter of 2014, which was an expense allocable as overhead.

Gross profit. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had a gross profit of $341,529 as compared to gross profit of $423,553 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $82,024, or 19.37%. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to decrease in sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to same period in 2014.

Operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had operating expenses of $339,340 as compared to operating expenses of $339,241 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $49, or insignificant.

Other (income) expense, net. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had other expense, net of $20,966, as compared to other expense, net of $36,869 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $15,903, or 43.13%. This account is comprised of other (income) expense, net that had $(373) change during the first half of 2015 compared to the first half of 2014; and interest expense that declined $15,530 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. Other (income) expense net is comprised of transactions that are generally of a non-recurring nature. The $15,530 decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to approximately $6,100 less in convertible debenture interest due to lower convertible debenture balance outstanding during the first half of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2015; and approximately $8,900 decrease in interest expense related party due to decline in note payable balance during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Provision for income tax expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had a provision for income tax expense of $43 as compared to a provision for income tax benefit of $44 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $1, or 2.27%.

Net income (loss). For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we had net loss of $18,820 as compared to net income of $47,349 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase in net loss of $66,169 (alternatively, a decrease in net income), or 139.75%. The $66,169 increase in net loss is primarily attributable to $82,073 decrease in gross profit; and partially offset by decrease in other expense, net of $66,169.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had cash and current assets (primarily consisting of inventory) of $900,566 and current liabilities of $1,461,019 or a current ratio of .62 to 1. This represents a working capital deficit of $560,453. 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.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. Although we had net income for the year ended December 31, 2014, we have otherwise incurred annual losses since 2009. In addition we expect we may have more losses in future periods. Other than in 2014, we have had a working capital deficit each year since 2009.

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

The Company does not expect that existing cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations. This raises substantial doubt about BWMG’s ability to continue as a going concern during the twelve- month period following the date of the financial statements included herein. The Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. We have issued a number of convertible debentures as an interim measure to finance our working capital needs. We have historically paid for many legal and consulting services with restricted stock to maximize working capital. We intend to continue this practice in the future when possible. We have 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.

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 ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing and achieving sufficient sales levels.

Although we incurred net income of approximately $94,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred net losses of approximately $18,820 and $896,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and year ended December 31, 2013, respectively. We anticipate these losses will continue for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the Company has negative cash flows from operations, 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. This raises a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continued existence is dependent upon generating working capital and obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing. Because of our continuing losses, we may not have working capital to permit us to remain in business during the twelve- month period following the date of the financial statements included herein, 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 June 30, 2015, the outstanding principal balance of these debentures was $371,965. 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.

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.

We rely on vendors and manufacturers without long-term contracts.

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.

We depend on consumer spending on discretionary items.

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 affect 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 beyond current levels, 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 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 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.

Not Applicable to Smaller Reporting Company.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management carried out an evaluation with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2015, as described in more detail below. Our management concluded that a significant deficiency exists regarding timely disclosure controls and procedures as described in more detail below. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting.

The specific weakness identified by our management was 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. 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 financial reporting will not result in errors in our financial statements which could lead to a restatement of those financial statements. This deficiency resulted in the failure of the Company to timely file Form 8-K current reports relating to conversions of related party employee compensation payable to restricted stock 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.

To mitigate the chance for reoccurrence of this noted deficiency, as disclosed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Form 10-Q Quarterly 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 services required for timely disclosure and financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

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