Proceedings", and "Item 7. Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere constitute "forward-looking
statements" Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of Seafarer Exploration Corp., a company organized under the
laws of Delaware, to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such factors include, among others, the following: our ability to
continue as a going concern, general economic and business conditions;
competition; success of operating initiatives; our ability to raise capital and
the terms thereof; changes in business strategy or development plans; future
revenues; the continuity, experience and quality of our management; changes in
or failure to comply with government regulations or the lack of government
authorization to continue our projects; and other factors referenced in the Form

The
use in this Form 10-K of such words as "believes", "plans", "anticipates",
"expects", "intends", and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such
statements. The success of the Company is dependent on our efforts and many
other factors including, primarily, our ability to raise additional
capital.
We
caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made. Such
forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and estimates of our
management as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available
to us at the time such statements were made. Forward looking statements are
subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events
or results to differ from those reflected in the forward looking statements,
including, without limitation, the failure to successfully locate cargo and
artifacts from the Juno Beach shipwreck site and a number of other risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements, either as a result of the matters set forth or
incorporated in this Report generally and certain economic and business factors,
some of which may be beyond our control.
We
disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect
the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

PART
I
Item
1. Business.
Summary
Seafarer
Exploration Corp. ("the Company" or "Seafarer"), a Delaware Corporation, was
incorporated on May 28, 2003. The Company formerly operated under the name
Organetix, Inc. (“Organetix”). The Company's principal business plan is to
engage in the archaeologically-sensitive exploration and recovery of a shipwreck
located off of Juno Beach, Florida. The exploration and recovery of historic
shipwrecks is extremely speculative and there is a very high degree of risk
inherent in this type of business venture.
Although
the Company believes that it is possible that the Juno Beach shipwreck may
potentially be a sunken Spanish galleon, the Company does not have any
definitive proof as to the country of origin of the shipwreck and it is very
possible that the cargo the ship was originally carrying, if any, had little or
no value and thus would be worthless. It is also entirely possible that the
Company will never successfully locate and recover any cargo or artifacts that
have any significant value from the shipwreck site. The Company has not yet
generated revenues, and is therefore considered a development stage
company.
Change
of Control
On June
4, 2008, Organetix entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Seafarer
Exploration, Inc. (“Seafarer, Inc.), a private company formed under the laws of
Florida, and the shareholders of Seafarer Inc. pursuant to which Organetix
agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Seafarer Inc.
from its Shareholders. As consideration for the acquisition of the 18,905,083
shares of Seafarer Inc., Organetix agreed to issue an aggregate of 131,243,235
shares of Common stock, $0.0001 par value to the Seafarer, Inc. Shareholders.
Following this transaction, the stockholders of Seafarer, Inc. controlled the
majority of the Organetix common stock and Seafarer Inc.’s management assumed
operational, management and governance control of Organetix. As a result, this
reverse merger transaction was treated retroactively as a recapitalization with
Seafarer, Inc. being treated as the acquirer for accounting
purposes.
On July
17, 2008, the Company filed a Certificate of Ownership to merge Seafarer
Exploration Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company into the Company
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Pursuant to the
Certificate of Ownership, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were amended
to change its name from Organetix, Inc. to Seafarer Exploration
Corp.
Development
Stage Company
Previously,
the Company devoted its time towards establishing its business and no revenues
have been generated to date. As such, the Company is considered as being in the
development stage, since its inception, in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, and its year-end is December
31.
The
Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and to
generate negative cash flow from operating activities while exploring and
attempting to recover artifacts from the Juno Beach shipwreck and
establishing itself in the marketplace.
The
Company’s ability to eliminate operating losses and to generate positive cash
flow from operations in the future will depend upon a variety of factors, many
of which it is unable to control. The Company expects to expend its
available cash in less than one month from May 5, 2009 based on our historical
rate of expenditures. If the Company is unable to implement its business
plan successfully, it may not be able to eliminate operating losses, generate
positive cash flow, or achieve or sustain profitability, which would materially
adversely affect its business, operations, and financial results, as well as its
ability to make payments on its debt obligations and the Company may be forced
to cease its operations.

Item 1. Business - continued
General
The
Company’s primary objective is to locate and recover artifacts and cargo from a
shipwreck located off of the coast of Juno Beach, Florida (the “Shipwreck”). The
Company does not currently have sufficient data to positively identify the
Shipwreck or its country of origin and therefore it is not possible to discern
whether or not the ship was originally carrying cargo of any significant value.
There is a very strong possibility that the Company may never recover any
artifacts or cargo of any significant value from the Shipwreck.
Operations
The
diving season for the shipwreck exploration and recovery business in Florida is
generally considered to be the summer months, from approximately the middle of
May through Labor Day. Inclement weather and hazardous ocean conditions
generally hamper year round historical shipwreck salvage and recovery efforts in
Florida waters. The Company does believe that it may be possible to perform
limited recovery efforts on the Shipwreck during the non summer months, possibly
one or two days per month, assuming that there are favorable weather and ocean
conditions and also assuming that the Company is able to secure the necessary
financing to conduct year round operations.
The
Company spent limited time exploring the Shipwreck during the summer of 2008
diving season.
From
approximately the end of August 2008 until the end of December 2008 the Company
did not conduct any recovery efforts on the Shipwreck site. No exploration and
recovery operations were conducted during this time frame mainly due to the fact
that the Company was in the process of renewing the agreement regarding the
recovery of historic shipwrecks artifacts with the State of Florida, Department
of State, Division of Historical Resources (“DHR”).
After the
agreement with the DHR was finalized in November 2008 the Company then had to
wait for environmental permits to be issued. The Company did not conduct
recovery efforts on the Shipwreck prior to the finalization of the agreement
with the DHR or while waiting to receive the environmental permits. Lack of
funding and inclement weather conditions were also factors that impacted the
Company’s ability to conduct recovery operations during 2008.
Since
January 1, 2009 the Company has spent very minimal time, only one or two days,
exploring the Shipwreck. Pending the receipt of financing and assuming that
weather and ocean conditions are favorable, the Company will potentially be able
to commence limited exploration and recovery efforts prior to the start of the
summer 2009 diving season. Furthermore, the Company must secure private
financing order to be able to commence full time exploration and recovery
efforts during the summer 2009 diving season.
Governmental
Regulation
The laws
and regulations regarding the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks in
waters controlled by the State of Florida are complex. A large amount of time
and expense is required in terms of Company resources in order to attempt to
fully comply with the existing laws and regulations. Furthermore the DHR has
recently proposed new rules and regulations regarding the exploration and
recovery of shipwrecks in Florida waters.
The
Company believes that if these new rules and regulations are implemented into
law then the burden of compliance may increase significantly. The State of
Florida may potentially enact additional laws that ultimately make it impossible
to conduct a profitable business as a commercial shipwreck exploration and
recovery firm. It is also entirely possible that the State of Florida may
eventually attempt to ban altogether the commercial exploration and recovery of
historic shipwrecks in State controlled waters.

Exemptions
from Registration for Sales of Restricted Securities.
These
securities were issued to persons who were either “accredited investors,” or
“sophisticated investors” who, by reason of education, business acumen,
experience or other factors, were fully capable of evaluating the risks and
merits of an investment in us; and each had prior access to all material
information about us. We believe that the offer and sale of these securities was
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to
Sections 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) thereof, and/or Rule
506 of Regulation D of the Act. Section 18 of the Act preempts state
registration requirements for sales to these classes of persons.
Repurchase
of Securities
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Company did not purchase any of its
common stock shares and the Company is not likely to purchase any shares in the
foreseeable future.

reliance on any forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual
results or actions may differ materially from these forward-looking statements
for many reasons. This Item should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes and with the understanding that the Company’s
actual future results may be materially different from what is currently

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - continued
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this annual report
on Form 10-K.
Plan
of Operation
During
the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company has taken the following steps to
implement its business plan:
|
·
|
To
date the Company has devoted its time towards establishing its business in
the exploration and salvage of artifacts and cargo from a shipwreck
located off of Juno Beach,
Florida.
|
|
·
|
Although
the Company has not generated revenues to date our development activities
continue to evolve. We have been a development stage company since
inception, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 7.
|
|
·
|
The
Company completed the acquisition of Seafarer, and as a result we are no
longer a shell company as defined in Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act
of 1933. As discussed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial
statements, the acquisition of Seafarer was characterized as a
reverse-acquisition. Accordingly, the results of operations discussed in
this Item 7, relate to the consolidated financial assets and liabilities
and operations of Seafarer, Inc., as if it had been Organetix during the
periods being discussed.
|
If we are
unable to effectively locate and recover artifacts that have significant value
from the Juno Beach shipwreck site then we may have to suspend or cease our
efforts. The Company is also interested in locating other shipwreck sites
performing exploration and recovery efforts on other historic shipwreck sites.
Furthermore the Company has also entered into an agreement to obtain information
regarding the theoretical location and details of a deepwater shipwreck, however
the Company does not have the capital to meet its obligations under the
agreement and therefore has not obtained the information regarding the deepwater
shipwreck. Even if the Company is able to obtain the information regarding the
deepwater shipwreck there will be significant amounts of additional capital
required to actually pinpoint the exact location of the wreck and/or to conduct
recovery operations. At this time the Company does not have any formal plans to
raise the capital that will be necessary locate, explore and recover the
deepwater shipwreck. If the Company ceases its previously stated efforts there
are not any plans to pursue other business opportunities.
Limited
Operating History
Previously,
the Company devoted its time towards establishing its business and no revenues
have been generated to date. As such, the Company is considered as being in the
development stage, since its inception, in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, and its year-end is December 31. The
Company has not currently generated any revenue from operations and does not
expect to report any significant revenue from operations for the foreseeable
future.
The
Company is a development stage company. In a development stage company,
management devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business. As of
December 31, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficit of $88,020. The
Company is in immediate need of further working capital and is seeking options
with respect to financing in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof.
Since inception, the Company has funded its operations through common stock
issuances and loans in order to meet its strategic
objectives. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to obtain further funds to continue with its efforts to establish a new
business.
10
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - continued
Limited Operating History - continued
The
Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and to
generate negative cash flow from operating activities while exploring and
attempting to salvage artifacts from the Juno Beach shipwreck and establishing
itself in the marketplace. We expect to expend our available cash in less
than one month from May 5, 2009 based on our historical rate of
expenditures. The Company’s ability to eliminate operating losses and to
generate positive cash flow from operations in the future will depend upon a
variety of factors, many of which it is unable to control. If the Company is
unable to implement the Company’s business plan successfully, it may not be able
to eliminate operating losses, generate positive cash flow, or achieve or
sustain profitability, which have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, operations, and financial results, as well as its ability to make
payments on its debt obligations and the Company may be forced to cease its
operations.
Results
of Operations
Since
February 5, 2007, our inception, we have generated no revenues. Our
operating and other expenses from inception through December 31, 2008 are
$1,260,847 of which $971,928 was incurred during the eight months ended December
31, 2008 and $283,625 was incurred during the twelve months ended April 30,
2008. Our major expenses were for consulting and independent contractor expenses
mostly related to fees for corporate development, management, accounting, and
corporate communications services as well as for the personnel involved in the
exploration and recovery efforts at the Juno Beach shipwreck site including the
divers and archeologist. Since inception, we incurred $130,599 in vessel
expenses related to repair, maintenance and operation of our vessel, the Iron
Maiden. Since inception we have incurred $108,266 in professional fees related
to legal, accounting, and auditing services.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2008, we had cash on hand of $474.00. As of May 5, 2009,
we had cash on hand of $6,654.60. During the eight months ended
December 31, 2008, and the period from inception on February 5, 2007 to December
31, 2008, we incurred net losses of ($972,078) and ($1,259,736) respectively. We
had $200,995 in current assets and $289,015 in current liabilities at December
31, 2008, leaving us a working capital deficit of ($88,020).
Subsequent
to December 31, 2008 Seafarer has funded operations through the receipt of
$120,000 from Blue Water Ventures of Key West, Inc. in partial repayment of the
money owed to the Company by Blue Water Ventures of Key West, Inc. The Company
has received $47,500 from the issuance of common stock under subscription
agreements, and Seafarer has received $46,500 in proceeds from convertible
promissory notes and loans.
The
Company is presently seeking additional financing. We expect to expend our
available cash in less than one month from May 5, 2009 based on our historical
rate of expenditures. The Company depends upon activities such as subsequent
offerings of our common stock or debt financing in order to operate and grow the
business. The Company has no specific plans for selling its common stock and no
arrangements for debt financing. There can be no assurance the
Company will be successful in raising additional capital. There are may be other
risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict.
The
Company’s ability to obtain additional financing will be subject to a variety of
uncertainties. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. The inability to raise additional funds on terms
favorable to the Company, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If the
Company is unable to obtain additional capital, it will be forced to scale back
planned expenditures, which would adversely affect its business and financial
condition.
Promissory
Notes - Default
At
December 31, 2008, the Company had $105,000 in convertible promissory notes
outstanding. The notes pay interest at 6% and are convertible at the option of
the lenders into common stock at $0.10 per share. The notes are
payable between September 1, 2008 through June 1, 2009 and are secured by the
equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property of
the Company. All of these notes were issued prior to the June 2008
merger discussed in Note 1. These convertible promissory notes are currently in
default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - continued
Promissory Notes - Default - continued
At
December 31, 2008, the Company has three promissory notes outstanding totaling
$36,500. These notes have a maturity of one year, carry an annual interest rate
of 8% and pay interest on a quarterly basis. These notes are unsecured and are
not convertible. These notes are currently in default due to non-payment
principal and interest.
The
Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to refinance its
promissory notes that are currently in default. If the Company is
unable to obtain additional capital, such lenders may file suit, including suit
to foreclose on the assets held as collateral for obligations arising under the
secured notes.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments which affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities. For a description of those
estimates, see Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, contained in
the explanatory notes to the Company’s financial statements for the transition
period ended December 31, 2008, contained in this filing. On an
ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions which we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities which are
not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. However, we believe that our estimates, including those
for the above-described items, are reasonable.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Management
is aware that certain changes in accounting estimates employed in generating
financial statements can have the effect of making the Company look more or less
profitable than it actually is. Management does not believe that
either the Company or its auditors have made any such changes in accounting
estimates.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
We have
reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have
effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We
believe that the following impending standards may have an impact on our future
filings. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal
review of our financial management and certain standards are under
consideration.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”
(SFAS 141(R)), which applies to all transactions or other events in which an
entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those sometimes
referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved
without the transfer of consideration. This statement replaces FASB Statement
No. 141 and applies to all business entities, including mutual entities that
previously used the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for some business
combinations. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The Company believes that adoption of
SFAS 141(R) will have an effect on our operating results with respect to future
acquisitions, if any.
12
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - continued
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- continued
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-1, “Application of
FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting
Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease
Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” (FSP 157-1). FSP 157-1 amends
SFAS 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. In addition, on
February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2), which amends SFA 157 by
delaying its effective date by one year for non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at
fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. This pronouncement
was effective upon issuance. The Company has deferred the adoption of SFAS 157
with respect to all non-financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the
provisions of this pronouncement. On January 1, 2009, SFAS 157 will be applied
to all other fair value measurements for which the application was deferred
under FSP 157-2. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS 157 will
have in relation to non-financial assets and liabilities on the consolidated
financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends and expands the
disclosure requirements of Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities.” It requires qualitative disclosures about
objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not anticipate the adoption
of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows
or financial condition.
In June
2008, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus regarding EITF
Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is
Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 outlines a two-step
approach to evaluate the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions, if any,
and to evaluate the instrument’s settlement provisions when determining whether
an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an
entity’s own stock. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and must be applied to outstanding instruments as of the
beginning of the fiscal year of adoption as a cumulative-effect adjustment to
the opening balance of retained earnings. Early adoption is not permitted. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of EITF
07-5.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of
Directors and Stockholders
Seafarer
Exploration Corp.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Seafarer Exploration
Corp. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash
flows for the periods then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over
financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits 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 Seafarer Exploration Corp.
as of December 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company
incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since
inception. These factors, and the need for additional financing in
order for the Company to meet its business plans, raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

EXPLORATION CORP.
(A
Development Stage Company)
NOTE
1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Seafarer
Exploration Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 28, 2003 in the State
of Delaware.
The
principal business of the Company is the exploration and recovery of an
underwater shipwreck. The Company’s year-end is December 31.
The
Company is in the development stage and the Company’s activities during the
development stage include developing a business plan and raising
capital.
On June
4, 2008, Seafarer Exploration, Inc (“Seafarer Inc.”) merged with Organetix, Inc.
(“Organetix”) pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”).
The Exchange Agreement provided for the exchange of all of Seafarer Inc.’s
common shares for 131,243,235 of Organetix post-merger common shares.
Considering that Seafarer Inc.’s former stockholders now control the majority of
Organetix’ outstanding voting common stock, Seafarer Inc.’s management has
actual operational control of Organetix and Organetix has effectively succeeded
its otherwise minimal operations to Seafarer Inc.’s operations, Seafarer Inc. is
considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction. A
reverse-merger transaction with a non-operating public shell company is
considered, and accounted for as a capital transaction in substance; it is
equivalent to the issuance of Seafarer Inc.’s common stock for the net monetary
assets of Organetix, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the
accounting does not contemplate the recognition of unrecorded assets of the
accounting acquiree, such as goodwill. However, on the date of the merger,
Organetix was a blank-check public shell company and had no assets and no
liabilities. Consolidated financial statements presented herein and subsequent
to the merger reflect the consolidated financial assets and liabilities and
operations of Seafarer Inc., at their historical costs, giving effect to the
recapitalization, as if it had been Organetix during the periods
presented.
On July
17, 2008, we changed our name from Organetix, Inc. to Seafarer Exploration Corp.
During 2008, we changed our year end from April 30 to December 31.
NOTE
2 - GOING CONCERN
These
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes
the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in
the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As shown in the
accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses of
$1,259,736 since inception. We expect to expend our available cash in less than
one month from May 5, 2009 based on our historical rate of expenditures.
Management's plans include raising capital through the equity markets to fund
operations, and the generating of revenue through its business.

SEAFARER
EXPLORATION CORP.
(A
Development Stage Company)
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN - continued
Failure
to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could result in the
Company having to curtail or cease operations. The Company’s ability to raise
additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock is unknown.
Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its
operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances
that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop to a level where it
will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the
classifications of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This
summary of significant accounting policies of Seafarer Exploration Corp. is
presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial
statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of
the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been
consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
Accounting
Method
The
Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and
Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements” and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue
is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is
reasonably assured. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and April 30,
2008, the Company did not report any revenues.
Earnings Per
Share
The
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, which
provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per
share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed
by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted
average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings
per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the
earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings per
share. Basic and diluted losses per share were the same at the
reporting dates as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding during the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and April 30, 2008.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) which defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure
about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. The impact of adopting
SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008 was not significant to the Company’s financial
statements. SFAS 157 defines fair value 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. SFAS 157 also
establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring
fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to
measure fair value:

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments - continued
Level 1 –
Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities.
Level 2 –
Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in
active markets.
Level 3 –
Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market
participants would use as fair value.
Fair
value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and
pertinent information available to management as of December 31,
2008. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial
instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these
instruments. These financial instruments include cash, notes
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of the
Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on current rates that would be
available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from
its stated value.
Income
Taxes
The
Company provides for federal and state income taxes payable, as well as for
those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and
expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax
rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The effect of a change in
tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A
valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income
tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be
realized.
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized
a liability as a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48. A
reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits
has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit as of the date of
adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a
result of the implementation of Interpretation 48. If there were an unrecognized
tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to
unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating
expenses.
Fixed Assets and
Depreciation
Fixed
assets are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Currently our only asset is a diving vessel, which we purchased for $325,000
during 2008 and is being depreciated over a 10 year useful life.
Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Company
reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets on a regular basis for the
existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that
suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a
long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows before
interest from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair
value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on appraised value of the
assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset, discounted at a
rate commensurate with the risk involved. There was no impairment charges
recorded during each of the years ended December 31, 2008 and April 30,
2008.

Stock-Based
Compensation
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based
Payment". SFAS 123(R) will provide investors and other users of financial
statements with more complete and neutral financial information by
requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment
transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured
based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS
123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including
share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share
appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. SFAS 123(R) replaces
FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and
supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". SFAS
123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based
method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees.
However, that statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the
guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements
disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based
method been used. Public entities (other than those filing as small business
issuers) were required to apply SFAS 123(R) as of the first interim or annual
reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. For public entities that file
as small business issuers, SFAS 123(R) was applicable as of the beginning of the
first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. As
of December 31, 2008, the Company has not implemented a stock based compensation
plan.
Non-Employee Stock Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for
services, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123R, at either the fair value of the
services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services,
whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines
enumerated in EITF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to
Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services."
Use of
Estimates
The
process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use
of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial
statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ
from estimated amounts.
Convertible Notes
Payable
The
Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in
accordance with SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS 133") and Emerging Issues Task Force EITF 00-19, "Accounting
for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a
Company's Own Stock" ("EITF 00-19"). SFAS 133 generally requires companies to
bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host
instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial
instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19. SFAS 133 provides for an exception to
this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be
conventional as that term is described in the implementation guidance under
Appendix A to SFAS 133 and further clarified in EITF 05-2 "The Meaning of
"Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument" in Issue No. 00-19.” As of
December 31, 2008 all of the Company’s convertible notes payable were classified
as conventional instruments.
The
Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion
options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity
under EITF 00-19, in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task
Force Issue ("EITF") 98-5 "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial
Conversion Features," and EITF 00-27 "Application of EITF 98-5 to Certain
Convertible Instruments". Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to
convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the
differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the
commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price
embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over
the term of the related debt. As of December 31, 2008, none of the
Company’s convertible notes payable included a beneficial conversion
option.

In June
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in
-Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"), which
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. The Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the
financial statements the impact of tax position, if that position is more likely
than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the
position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The
provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2006 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded
as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The adoption of this statement
did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position
or results of operations.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". This
standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this
accounting pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
159, “The Fair Value Option
for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the
fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with
available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the
beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.
The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”
(SFAS 141(R)), which applies to all transactions or other events in which an
entity obtains control of one or more businesses, including those sometimes
referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved
without the transfer of consideration. This statement replaces FASB Statement
No. 141 and applies to all business entities, including mutual entities that
previously used the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for some business
combinations. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The Company believes that adoption of
SFAS 141(R) will have an effect on our operating results with respect to future
acquisitions, if any.
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-1, “Application of
FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting
Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease
Classification or Measurement under Statement 13” (FSP 157-1). FSP 157-1 amends
SFAS 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. In addition, on
February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2), which amends SFA 157 by delaying
its effective date by one year for non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in
the financial statements on a recurring basis. This pronouncement was effective
upon issuance. The Company has deferred the adoption of SFAS 157 with respect to
all non-financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the provisions of
this pronouncement. On January 1, 2009, SFAS 157 will be applied to all other
fair value measurements for which the application was deferred under FSP 157-2.
The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS 157 will have in relation to
non-financial assets and liabilities on the consolidated financial
statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends and expands the
disclosure requirements of Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities.” It requires qualitative disclosures about
objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not anticipate the adoption
of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows
or financial condition.

In June
2008, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus regarding EITF
Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is
Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 outlines a two-step
approach to evaluate the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions, if any,
and to evaluate the instrument’s settlement provisions when determining whether
an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an
entity’s own stock. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and must be applied to outstanding instruments as of the
beginning of the fiscal year of adoption as a cumulative-effect adjustment to
the opening balance of retained earnings. Early adoption is not permitted. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of EITF
07-5.

Common
Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common
stock. All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and
have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and,
therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they
choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.
At
December 31, 2008 the Company had issued and outstanding 3,966,668 common shares
for total proceeds of $64,500 that are subject to a repricing feature
guaranteeing the shareholders a minimum value of $0.015 to $0.020 per share. The
repricing feature extends through the date upon which all registration
restrictions expire and is based upon the trading market value on that date. Due
to the fact that the number of shares required to settle this minimum value
guaranty will not be known until the registration restrictions have expired, the
Company cannot guarantee with certainty that it will have enough authorized
shares to settle these agreements. Accordingly, these shares have been accounted
for in accordance with EITF Topic No. D-98, Classification and Measurement of
Redeemable Securities. Pursuant to this guidance, the shares subject to
the anti-dilution protection require classification as mezzanine equity until
such time as the repricing feature expires.

New
Purchase and Sale Agreement with SeaRex, Inc.
On
December 10, 2008, the Company entered into a new purchase and sale agreement
with Sinclair Educational Archaeological Research Expeditions, Inc. (“SeaRex,
Inc.”) to acquire the DaVinci Research Materials. The DaVinci
Research Materials purportedly contain information as to the theoretical
location of a deepwater shipwreck site which has been named the “DaVinci
Project”. As used in the agreement with SeaRex, Inc. the DaVinci Research
Materials refers to any and all of the documents, data, records, reports, maps,
compilations, computer models, writings and materials that are in any way
related to the DaVinci Project that have been accumulated by SeaRex, Inc. any
persons known to SeaRex, Inc. or any employees, contractors, consultants,
officers, directors, agents, affiliates, or associates of SeaRex, Inc. Under the
new agreement, the Company has agreed, in its sole discretion and if funds are
available, to pay SeaRex, Inc. a fee of $250,000 less any funds previously paid
to SeaRex, Inc. in exchange for the DaVinci Research Materials. SeaRex, Inc.
acknowledged that it previously received $10,000 from Seafarer towards the
purchase of the DaVinci Research Materials. According to the agreement, the
remaining fees will be paid in the following increments; $10,000 was due upon
execution of the Agreement; $30,000 was due by December 31, 2008 unless the
parties mutually agree to extend the due date; $50,000 was due by February 15,
2009 unless the parties mutually agree to extend the due date; and $150,000 was
be due by March 31, 2009 unless the parties mutually agree to extend the due
date. In addition to the fees, Seafarer agreed to pay SeaRex fourteen percent
(14%) of the net liquidated value of any items actually recovered from the
DaVinci Project less any and all expenses incurred by Seafarer relating to the
DaVinci Project (the “Contingent Fees”). The Contingent Fees will be paid to
SeaRex, Inc. at the time that Seafarer actually receives funds. The agreement
further states that Seafarer will have exclusive rights to the DaVinci Research
Materials during the term of the agreement. Additionally, if Seafarer does not
pay SeaRex, Inc. the fees by the due dates described previoulsy, then SeaRex,
Inc. in its sole discretion, may terminate the agreement by providing written
notice to Seafarer. If SeaRex, Inc. terminates the agreement then it agrees that
within five business days of providing written notice of termination it will pay
back any and all funds that it has received from Seafarer. SeaRex, Inc.
specifically acknowledges that if Seafarer does not pay the fees by any of the
due dates described previously, then Seafarer will not have any further
financial obligations whatsoever or owe any consideration or fees of any kind to
SeaRex. As of December 31, 2008 Seafarer has paid a total of $20,000 to SeaRex,
Inc. towards the purchase of the DaVinci Research Materials however the Company
has not been able to raise the capital necessary to complete the purchase of the
DaVinci Research Materials. Even if the Company is able to successfully obtain
the DaVinci Research Materials then there will be a significant amount of
additional capital required to actually to both pinpoint the exact location of
the DaVinci Project shipwreck and/or conduct recovery operations. At this
time the Company does not have any formal plans to raise the capital that will
be necessary locate, explore and recover the deepwater
shipwreck.

Disclosure.
On March
17, 2009 we dismissed Meyler & Company, LLC (“Meyler”) as our principal
independent registered accountants and appointed Cross Fernandez & Riley,
LLP as our new principal independent registered accountants. There were no
disagreements between the Company and Meyler regarding any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure. The information required by Item 304 of Regulation S-K with respect
to the change in our independent accountants was provided in our Current Report
on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2009
and Current Report on Form8-KA filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on April 28, 2009.
Item
9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
Management’s
responsibility for controls and procedures
The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over the Company’s financial reporting. The Company’s controls
over financial reporting are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) is accumulated
and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar
functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and
procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the
Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, the
Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of
such periods are not effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and
forms.
29
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures -
continued
Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
Management
did not use a formal framework to conduct the required evaluation of the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting since,
in the view of management, comparison with a formal framework was unwarranted
because of (i) the small size of the Company’s current operations and (ii) the
Company’s executive management structure (consisting of only the Company’s
principal executive officer and principal financial officer) which enables
management to be aware of all transactions.
The
company has limited resources and as a result, a material weakness in financial
reporting currently exists, because of our limited resources and personnel,
including those described below.
* The
Company has an insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced
personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a
material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur
and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
* We have
not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key
financial reporting functions.
* We do
not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert.
While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent
audit committee financial expert, it is the managements view that to have audit
committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent audit
committee financial expert is an important entity-level control over the
Company's financial statements.
* We have
not achieved an optimal segregation of duties for executive officers of the
Company.
A
material weakness is a deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) auditing standard 5) 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 will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis. Management has determined that a material weakness exists due to a lack
of segregation of duties, resulting from the Company's limited resources and
personnel.
Remediation
Efforts to Address Deficiencies in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
As a
result of these findings, management, upon obtaining sufficient capital and
operations, intends to take practical, cost-effective steps in implementing
internal controls, including possibly the following remedial
measures:
*Assessing
the current duties of existing personnel and consultants, assigning additional
duties to existing personnel and consultants, and, in a cost effective manner,
potentially hiring additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the
Company's financial statements to allow for proper segregation of duties, as
well as additional resources for control documentation.
*Assessing
the duties of the existing officers of the Company and, in a cost effective
manner, possibly promote or hire additional personnel to diversify duties and
responsibilities of such executive officers.
*Board to
review and make recommendations to shareholders concerning the composition of
the Board of Directors, with particular focus on issues of independence. The
Board of Directors to consider nominating an audit committee and audit committee
financial expert, which may or may not consist of independent
members.
*Interviewing
and potentially hiring outside consultants that are experts in designing
internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria established in
Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(“COSO”).

Remediation Efforts to Address
Deficiencies in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - continued
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public

The
Company has not made any change in our internal control over financial reporting

$250,000 less any funds previously paid to SeaRex, Inc. in exchange for the
DaVinci Research Materials. SeaRex, Inc. acknowledged that it previously
received $10,000 from Seafarer towards the purchase of the DaVinci Research
Materials. According to the agreement, the remaining fees will be paid in the
following increments; $10,000 was due upon execution of the Agreement; $30,000

agreed to pay SeaRex fourteen percent (14%) of the net liquidated value of any
items actually recovered from the DaVinci Project less any and all expenses
incurred by Seafarer relating to the DaVinci Project (the “Contingent Fees”).
The Contingent Fees will be paid to SeaRex, Inc. at the time that Seafarer
actually receives funds. The agreement further states that Seafarer will have
exclusive rights to the DaVinci Research Materials during the term of the
agreement. Additionally, if Seafarer does not pay SeaRex, Inc. the fees by the
due dates described previously, then SeaRex, Inc. in its sole discretion, may
terminate the agreement by providing written notice to Seafarer. If SeaRex, Inc.
terminates the agreement then it agrees that within five business days of
providing written notice of termination it will pay back any and all funds that
it has received from Seafarer. SeaRex, Inc. specifically acknowledges that if
Seafarer does not pay the fees by any of the due dates described previously,
then Seafarer will not have any further financial obligations whatsoever or owe
any consideration or fees of any kind to SeaRex. As of December 31, 2008
Seafarer has paid a total of $20,000 to SeaRex, Inc. towards the purchase of the
DaVinci Research Materials however the Company has not been able to raise the
capital necessary to complete the purchase of the DaVinci Research Materials.
Even if the Company is able to successfully obtain the DaVinci Research
Materials then there will be a significant amount of additional capital required
to actually to both pinpoint the exact location of the DaVinci Project shipwreck
and/or conduct recovery operations. At this time the Company does not have any
formal plans to raise the capital that will be necessary locate, explore
and recover the deepwater shipwreck.
