Statements in this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report may be “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by our management. These assumptions are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed in this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to our financial condition, factors that affect our industry, market and customer acceptance, changes in technology, fluctuations in our quarterly results, our ability to continue and manage our growth, liquidity and other capital resource issues, compliance with government regulations and permits, agreements with third parties to conduct operations, competition, fulfillment of contractual obligations by other parties and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, except as required by Federal Securities law.

SEAFARER EXPLORATION CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying condensed financial statements of Seafarer Exploration Corp. (“Seafarer” or the “Company”) are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods presented. The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2017 or for any future period.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Seafarer Exploration Corp. (the “Company”), formerly Organetix, Inc. (“Organetix”), was incorporated on May 28, 2003 in the State of Delaware.

The principal business of the Company is to engage in the archaeologically-sensitive exploration, documentation, and recovery of historic shipwrecks with the objective of exploring and discovering Colonial-era shipwrecks for future generations to be able to appreciate and understand.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

These condensed 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. The Company has sustained net losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based on its historical rate of expenditures, the Company expects to expend its available cash in less than one month from August 14, 2017. Management's plans include raising capital through the equity markets to fund operations and, eventually, the generation of revenue through its business. The Company does not expect to generate any revenues for the foreseeable future.

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 condensed 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 condensed financial statements. The condensed 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 condensed financial statements.

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.

Earnings Per Share

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10 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 or loss available to common stockholders 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. Basic and diluted losses per share were the same at the reporting dates as there were no dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding at June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 – Valuation based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation based on, observable inputs (other than level one prices), quoted market prices for similar assets such as at the measurement date; quoted prices in the market that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

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.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The valuation of the Company’s notes recorded at fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs, which consider (i) time value, (ii) current market and (iii) contractual prices.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, notes payable and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Property and equipment, net consist of the following at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

	June 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
Diving vessel	$326,005	$326,005
Equipment	32,420	32,420
Less accumulated depreciation	(321,125)	(304,133)
	$37,300	$54,292

Depreciation expense for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 amounted to $16,992, and $8,496 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company, on a regular basis, reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets 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 were no impairment charges recorded during the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company applies the fair value method of ASC 718, “Share Based Payment”, in accounting for its stock based compensation. This standard states that 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 values stock based compensation at the market price for the Company’s common stock as of the date in which the obligation for payment of services is incurred.

Use of Estimates

The process of preparing condensed 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 condensed 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 ASC 815. ASC 815 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. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40.

The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. 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.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

Convertible Notes Payable at Fair Value

The Company elected to account for this hybrid contract under the guidance of ASC 815-15-25-4. This guidance allows an entity that initially recognizes a hybrid financial instrument that under paragraph ASC 815-15-25-1 would be required to be separated into a host contract and a derivative instrument may irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure that hybrid financial instrument in its entirety at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized in earnings).

The fair value election is also available when a previously recognized financial instrument subject to a re-measurement event and the separate recognition of an embedded derivative. The fair value election may be made instrument by instrument. For purposes of this paragraph, a re-measurement event (new basis event) is an event identified in generally accepted accounting principles, other than the recognition of another-than-temporary impairment, that requires a financial instrument to be re-measured to its fair value at the time of the event but does not require that instrument to be reported at fair value on a continuous basis with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. Examples of re-measurement events are business combinations and significant modifications of debt as defined in Subtopic 470-50.

NOTE 4 - LOSS PER SHARE

Components of loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

NOTE 5 – CAPITAL STOCK

On February 24, 2017, the Board of Directors, acting as shareholders of the Preferred Shares and pursuant to their own resolution, voted to increase the authorized shares of the Corporation from 2,500,000,000 to 2,900,000,000 common shares. Such filing was processed to be effective with the State of Florida on March 2, 2017.

In January of 2017, the Company entered into a subscription agreement to sell 17,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to two individuals in exchange for proceeds of $75,000. The Company also agreed that the purchaser will be entitled to receive $500,000 of treasure of their choice after both the Company has recovered a minimum of $1,200,000 of artifacts/treasure and the State of Florida has received its full share of treasure per any permits or agreements. The purchaser will have the right to convert up to a maximum of $500,000 worth of treasure that they have received into shares of the Company’s restricted common stock at a discount of 10% of the average trading price of the Company’s common stock of the previous five days closing price provided that the Company’s common stock is trading at or above $0.04 by providing a written notice to the Company. The conversion option will expire eighteen months after the Company first locates a minimum of $1,200,000 worth of treasure. The value of the treasure will be determined by a mutually agreed upon third party who is a recognized expert in the valuation of historic artifacts.

In January of 2017, the Company entered into a subscription agreement to sell 40,000,000 shares of restricted common stock at a price $0.0005 share to an individual in exchange for proceeds of $20,000. The Company also agreed that the purchaser will be entitled to receive warrants to purchase 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of 0.004 per share for a period of one year from January 31, 2017.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to sell or issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Series A Preferred Stock

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had seven shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Series A preferred stock has the right to convert into 214,289 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2017, and 2016, no shares of this preferred stock had been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.

Series B Preferred Stock

On February 10, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company under the authority granted under Article V of the Articles of Incorporation, defined and created a new preferred series of shares from the 50,000,000 authorized preferred shares. Pursuant to Article V, the Board of Directors has the power to designate such shares and all powers and matters concerning such shares. Such share class shall be designated Preferred Class B. The preferred class was created for 60 Preferred Class B shares. Such shares each have a voting power equal to one percent of the outstanding shares issued (totaling 60%) at the time of any vote action as necessary for share votes under Florida law, with or without a shareholder meeting. Such shares are non-convertible to common stock of the Company and are not considered as convertible under any accounting measure. Such shares shall only be held by the Board of Directors as a Corporate body, and shall not be placed into any individual name. Such shares were considered issued at the time of this resolution’s adoption, and do not require a stock certificate to exist, unless selected to do so by the Board for representational purposes only. Such shares are considered for voting as a whole amount, and shall be voted for any matter by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. Such shares shall not be divisible among the Board members, and shall be voted as a whole either for or against such a vote upon the vote of the majority of the Board of Directors. In the event that there is any vote taken which results in a tie of a vote of the Board of Directors, the vote of the Chairman of the Board shall control the voting of such shares. Such shares are not transferable except in the case of a change of control of the Corporation when such shares shall continue to be held by the Board of Directors. Such shares have the authority to vote for all matters that require a share vote under Florida law and the Articles of Incorporation.

Warrants and Options

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a total of 205,015,151 and 126,631,818 respectively, warrants outstanding to purchase common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.001 to $0.025 per share.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate and the provision for income taxes are as follows:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017	For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
Income tax at federal statutory rate	(34.00)%	(34.00)%
State tax, net of federal effect	(3.96)%	(3.96)%
	37.96%	37.96%
Valuation allowance	(37.96)%	(37.96)%
Effective rate	0.00%	0.00%

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company’s only significant deferred income tax asset was an estimated net tax operating loss of $12,860,000 and $12,300,000 respectively that is available to offset future taxable income, if any, in future periods, subject to expiration and other limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has considered the Company's operating losses incurred to date and believes that a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets is required as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company is preparing and reviewing information for tax returns for past years. Due to the Company’s lack of revenue since inception, management does not anticipate that there is any income tax liability for past years. Management has evaluated tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 and has not identified any tax positions, other than those discussed above, that require disclosure.

NOTE 7 - LEASE OBLIGATION

The Company leases 823 square feet of office space located at 14497 North Dale Mabry Highway, Suite 209-N, Tampa, Florida 33618. Subsequent to June 30, 2017 the Company entered into an amended lease agreement with a base monthly rents of $1,252 from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018,

$1,289 from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, and $1,328 from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Under the terms of the lease there may periodically be additional fees charged above the base monthly rental fee.

At March 31, 2017, the loan was in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

In February of 2017, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement in the amount of $25,000 with an individual who is both related to the Company’s CEO and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. This loan pays interest at a rate of 6% per annum and the principal and accrued interest are due on or before August 14, 2017. The note is not secured and is convertible at the lender’s option into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of $0.00075 per share. The related party lender received 33,333,333 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.005.

In March of 2017, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement in the amount of $15,000 with a corporation. This loan pays interest at a rate of 6% per annum and the principal and accrued interest are due on or before September 10, 2017.

Note Conversions

A lender who had a convertible promissory note outstanding with a remaining principal balance of $24,402 elected to convert the principal balance of the note plus accrued interest and late fees of $2,242 into 36,205,587 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The remaining principal balance of this note was $0 at June 30, 2017.

Shareholder Loans

Convertible Notes Payable and Notes Payable, in Default

The Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to refinance its convertible notes payable and notes payable 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 the obligations arising under the secured notes. If any of the lenders file suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral, then the Company may be forced to significantly scale back or cease its operations which would more than likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company. The fact that the Company is in default of several promissory notes held by various lenders makes investing in the Company or providing any loans to the Company extremely risky with a very high potential for a complete loss of capital.

At the present time the dismissal has been filed and the case closed, with all shares cancelled.

On June 18, 2013, Seafarer began litigation against Tulco Resources, LLC, in a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court in and for Hillsborough County, Florida. Such suit was filed for against Tulco based upon for breach of contract, equitable relief and injunctive relief. Tulco was the party holding the rights under a permit to a treasure cite at Juno Beach, Florida. Tulco and Seafarer had entered into contracts in March 2008, and later renewed under an amended agreement on June 11, 2010. Such permit was committed to by Tulco to be an obligation and contractual duty to which they would be responsible for payment of all costs in order for the permit to be reissued. Such obligation is contained in the agreement of March 2008 which was renewed in the June 2010 agreement between Seafarer and Tulco. Tulco made the commitment to be responsible for payments of all necessary costs for the gaining of the new permit. Tulco never performed on such obligation, and Seafarer during the period of approximately March 2008 and April 2012 had endeavored and even had to commence a lawsuit to gain such permit which was awarded in April 2012. Seafarer alleges in their complaint the expenditure of large amounts of shares and monies for financing and for delays due to Tulco’s non-performance. Seafarer seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief for the award of all rights held by Tulco to Seafarer Seafarer gained a default and final Judgment on such matter on July 23, 2014. Seafarer is now in position to receive the renewed permit to be in Seafarer’s name and rights only, with Tulco removed per the Order of the Court. On March 4, 2015, the Court awarded full rights to the Juno sight to Seafarer Exploration, erasing all rights of Tulco Resources. The company has currently filed an Admiralty Claim over such sight in the United States District Court which is pending final ruling. On October 21, 2016 a hearing on the Admiralty Claim in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida was held, where the Court Ordered actions to take place for ongoing admiralty claim, which will occur during the month of November 2016. The Court subsequently entered and Order directing the arrest warrant for such site, and such arrest warrant has been issued by the Clerk of Court. Such warrant entry is now in process by the Company. Such arrest warrant was served by the United States Marshalls Office in Palm Beach, Florida on July 7, 2017. The United States District Court Judge ordered service on the claim on August 10, 2017. Seafarer expects final judgment with a short time frame on the admiralty claim.

On September 3, 2014, the Company filed a lawsuit against Darrel Volentine, of California. Mr. Volentine was sued in two counts of libel per se under Florida law, as well as a count for injunction against the Defendant to exclude and prohibit internet postings. Such lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court in Hillsborough County, Florida. Such suit is based upon internet postings on www.investorshub.com. On or about October 15, 2015, the Company and Volentine entered into a stipulation whereby Volentine admitted to his tortious conduct, however the stipulated damages agreed to were questioned by the Court, and the Company is proceeding to trial on damages against Volentine in a non-jury trial on December 1, 2015. The Defendant is the subject of a contempt of court motion which was heard on April 7, 2016, whereby the Court found a violation and modified the injunction against the Defendant, and imposed other matters of potential penalties against the Defendant. The Court also awarded attorney’s fees against the Defendant on behalf of Seafarer for such motion. The Defendant subsequently attempted to have such ruling, evidence and testimony attacked through a motion heard before the Court on October 24, 2016. The Court dismissed the Defendant’s motion after presentation of the Defendant’s case at the hearing. The Plaintiff has set the matter for entry of the attorney’s fees amount due from the Defendant for hearing in December 2016. As well the Plaintiff has set for hearing its motion for sanctions in the form of attorney’s fees for frivolous filing of the October 24th motion, which motion is also set for hearing in December 2016. The Plaintiff filed a renewed and amended motion for punitive damages in the case on September 11, 2016, which has not been set for hearing. The Defendant had also filed a motion for summary judgment on the matter of notice entitlement pre-suit, which motion is pending before the Court. The Plaintiff filed a motion for sanctions against the Defendant for the motion for summary judgment being frivolous under existing law, and such motion is pending ruling on the motion. Discovery is ongoing on such case. On December 7, 2016, the Court held a hearing on the Defendant’s motion for sanctions, and essentially attempting to rehear the motion for contempt against the Defendant. The Court dismissed the Defendant’s motions, and renewed the ability of the Company to seek attorney’s fees on such matter, which hearing has not been set at present. On February 28, 2017, the Court entered an Order denying the Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. The Company has a pending motion for sanctions related to the Defendant’s filing of the motion for summary judgment which has not been set for hearing. The Company will be attempting to set such matter for trial during 2017.

Overview

General

The Company’s principal business plan is to develop the infrastructure to engage in the archaeologically-sensitive exploration, recovery and conservation of historic shipwrecks. Once artifacts have been properly conserved, they may be made available for scientific research and allowed to be displayed for the public.

The Company believes it may eventually be conducting archaeological research around the world and potentially supporting governmental or quasi-governmental organizations, universities and affiliated research groups and private research entities in the documentation of historic shipwrecks based on their discretion. The business plan also includes in-depth archival research and translation of historical documents from various international archives and repositories. These translations of archival research will be made available to government states, university researchers, and other responsible academic parties upon reasonable request.

In addition to the research, there is ongoing education of personnel involved in operations with the Company. Furthermore, the Company has also hired three additional archaeologists on a consulting basis to further the Company’s depth in archaeology and to further insure all sensitive archaeological guidelines are met or exceeded.

The exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks involves a multi-year, multi-stage process. It may take many years and/or be prohibitively expensive to locate, if any are ever located at all, and recover valuable artifacts from historic shipwrecks. Locating and recovering valuable artifacts is very difficult, expensive, and rare. If the Company is not able to successfully locate artifacts or treasure with significant value, then there is a high probability that the Company will face adverse consequences, including a complete loss of all capital invested in or borrowed by the Company,

Underwater recovery operations are inherently difficult and dangerous and may be delayed or suspended by inclement weather, sea conditions or other natural hazards. In addition, even though sea conditions in a particular search location may be somewhat predictable, the possibility exists that unexpected conditions may occur, and already have occurred, that adversely affect the Company’s operations. It is also possible that natural hazards may prevent or significantly delay search and recovery operations.

In addition to natural hazards there are constant repair and maintenance issues with historic shipwreck exploration and recovery vessels, the Company’s primary exploration vessel is an older vessel that was originally used in other capacities and has been converted for use in historic shipwreck exploration and recovery operations. The repairs, maintenance and upkeep of vessels, is time consuming and has been very expensive and there may be significant periods of vessel down time that results from needed repairs being made or a lack of current financing to make repairs to the vessel.

There are very strict international, federal and state laws that govern the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks. While the Company has been able to obtain some permits, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure future permits or be able to enter into agreements with government agencies in order to explore and recover historic shipwrecks.

Obtaining permits and entering into agreements with governmental and quasi-governmental agencies to conduct historic shipwreck exploration and recovery operations is generally a very complex, time consuming, and expensive process. Furthermore, the process of entering into agreements and/or obtaining permits may be subject to lengthy delays, possibly in excess of a year.

The reasons for a lengthy permitting process may be due to a number of potential factors including but not limited to requests by permitting agencies for additional information, submitted applications that need to be revised or updated, newly discovered information that needs to be added to an application or agreement, changes to either the agreement or permit terms or revisions to other information contained in the permit, excessive administrative time lags at permitting agencies, etc. The length of time it takes to obtain permits or enter into agreements may cause the Company to expend significant resources while gearing up to do work with little or no visibility as to the timing of receiving a permit.

It is also possible that permits that are sought for potential future international projects may never be issued, and if issued, may not be legal or honored by the entities that issued them. Even if the Company is able to obtain permits for shipwreck projects there is a possibility that the shipwrecks may have already been recovered or may not be found, or may not have had anything valuable on board at the time that they sank.

It is the Company’s intent to find shipwrecks where available research suggests there were not any previous recovery efforts or past recovery efforts failed or were not completed. In the event that valuable artifacts are located and recovered, it is possible that the cost of recovery will exceed the value of the artifacts recovered. It is also possible that other entities, including both private parties and governmental entities, will assert conflicting claims and challenge the Company’s rights to the recovered artifacts which could lead to lengthy and expensive legal issues.

Moreover, there is the possibility that should the Company be successful in locating and salvaging artifacts that have significant archeological and/or monetary value, that a country whose ship was salvaged may attempt to claim ownership of the artifacts by pursuing litigation. In the event that the Company is able to make a valid claim to artifacts or other items at a shipwreck site, there is a risk of theft of such items at sea, both before or after the recovery or while the artifacts are in transit to a safe destination, as well as when stored in a secured location. Such thefts may not be adequately covered by insurance. Based on a number of these and other potential issues the Company could spend a great deal of time and invest a large sum in a specific shipwreck project and receive very little or no salvage claim or revenue for its work. The Company does have plans for security at sea, but may never implement such plans.

There are a number of significant issues and challenges including, but not limited to, government regulation and/or the Company’s inability to secure permits and contracts, lack of financing, lack of revenue and cash flow and continued losses from operations that make the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks a speculative business venture that carries a high degree of risk. There is also significant expense involved in research and ongoing educational programs. Research expenses involve paying scientists for translations, dues and fees for various historical entities such as archives, travel and accommodations, and research materials.

There is a possibility that the Company will be forced to cease its operations if it is not successful in eventually locating valuable artifacts or treasure. If the Company were to cease its operations, and not find or engage another business entity, then it is likely that there would be complete loss of all capital invested in or borrowed by the Company. As such, an investment in Seafarer is speculative and highly risky.

This type of business venture is extremely speculative in nature and carries a tremendous amount of risk. An investment in our securities is speculative and risky and should only be considered by those investors or lenders who do not require liquidity and who can afford to suffer a complete and total loss of their investment.

There is currently a limited trading market for our securities. We cannot assure when and if an active-trading market in our shares will be established, or whether any such market will be sustained or sufficiently liquid to enable holders of shares of our common stock to liquidate their investment in our company. The sale of unregistered and restricted securities by current shareholders, including shares issued to consultants and shares issued to settle convertible promissory notes and to settle other loans and debt, may cause a significant decline in the market price of the Company’s securities.

An investor should consider consulting with professional financial advisers before making an investment in our securities.

Plan of Operation

The Company has taken the following steps to implement its business plan:

●	To date, the Company has devoted its time towards establishing its business to develop the infrastructure capable of researching, exploring, recovering and conserving historic shipwrecks. The Company has performed some research, exploration and recovery activities.

●	Spent considerable time and money researching potential shipwrecks including obtaining information from foreign archives.

●	Although the Company has not generated revenues to date, our business goals continue to evolve. Relationships are being developed with foreign dignitaries and scientists around the world, as well as with for profit companies.

●	The Company continues to review revenue producing opportunities including joint ventures with other companies.

●	The Company has investigated various types of equipment and technology to expedite the process of finding artifacts other than iron or ferrous metals. Most have been of no help, but the Company continues to explore new technology.

The Company has evaluated various opportunities to enter into agreements or contracts to conduct exploration and recovery operations at known historic shipwreck locations or potential locations. The Company has previously spent some of its efforts exploring what it believes is a historic shipwreck site located off of Juno Beach, Florida. As previously noted on its form 8-K filed on May 9, 2011, the Company and Tulco Resources received a 1A-31 Recovery Permit from the Florida Division of Historical Resources. The Recovery Permit was active through April 25, 2014. The Permit authorized Seafarer to dig and recover artifacts from the designated site at Juno Beach, Florida. It will be necessary for the Company to obtain a renewal to the Recovery Permit for the Juno Beach shipwreck site in order to continue to perform exploration and recovery work at the site after April 25, 2014. The potential renewal permit has not been issued as of the filing of this report and is currently on hold and cannot be issued until certain legal requirements including a federal admiralty claim have been finalized and an updated recovery application has been submitted. A motion for a federal admiralty claim has been granted and the U.S. Marshal’s office has been ordered by the federal judge to arrest the Juno site to Seafarer. The Juno site was arrested permanently to Seafarer by the U.S. Marshal’s offices on July 7th, 2017 and such notice was given to the Federal Judge presiding in the case for a final order. The federal judge has also granted both motions filed by Seafarer to assign the site to Seafarer in perpetuity and have the Company act as custodian to all artifacts recovered from the site.

There is a purported historic shipwreck site in the waters off of Melbourne Beach Florida that the Company has been investigating. In February 2013, the Company signed an agreement with a third party who had previously explored this site for the right to investigate the site. On March 1, 2014, Seafarer entered into a partnership and ownership with Marine Archaeology Partners, LLC, with the formation of Seafarer’s Quest, LLC. Such LLC was formed in the State of Florida for the purpose of permitting, exploration and recovery of artifacts from a designated area on the east coast of Florida. Such site area is from a defined, contracted area by a separate entity, which a portion of such site is designated from a previous contracted holding through the State of Florida. Under such agreement, Seafarer is responsible for costs of permitting, exploration and recovery, and is entitled to 60% of such artifact recovery. Seafarer has a 50% ownership, with designated management of the LLC coming from Seafarer. Further actions toward expanding the permitted area have been taken for such site. There are a significant number of challenges inherent in the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks, including the possibility that the Company will never find artifacts of value at this particular site.

On July 28, 2014, Seafarer’s Quest, LLC received a 1A-31 Exploration Permit with a Dig and Identify modification (the “Permit”) from the Florida Division of Historical Resources for an area identified as Area 2 off of Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Permit was active for three years from the date of issuance and is currently in a renewal stage. Seafarer on behalf of Seafarer’s Quest, LLC, has been primarily focusing its operations on this site when the weather permits. In addition to the Company’s main salvage vessel, the Company has utilized additional owned and rented vessels in order to perform search and identify operations at this site. Inclement weather and difficult sea conditions have hampered the Company’s ability to perform exploration operations at this site and will likely continue to hamper operations in the future. An archeologist with the technical skills, knowledge, and experience from around the world was hired to help insure the integrity of the work. The Company has applied for permits from the State of Florida for additional areas that were formerly permitted solely by an affiliate of Marine Archeological Partners, LLC. A Permit for one of the additional areas was given to the Company on July 6th , 2016 and identified as Area 1. Area 1 has become the Company’s primary focus because of mag survey work and the amount of shipwreck artifacts found there.

The Company regularly reviews opportunities to perform exploration and recovery operations at purported historic shipwreck sites. The Company currently does have some specific plans to perform exploration and recovery operations at other shipwreck sites in the future, however these plans are subject to change based on a number of factors. The Company is actively reviewing other potential historic shipwreck sites, including sites located internationally, for possible exploration and recovery. Should the Company decide that it will pursue exploration and recovery activities at other potential shipwreck sites, it may be necessary to obtain various permits as well as environmental permits.

The Company continually monitors media rights for potential revenue opportunities. The Company has talked to multiple media entities to further understand the advantages offered. Management believes media can represent a revenue opportunity for the Company, if the right circumstances arise.

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.

At June 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $942,828. 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. There is a very significant risk that the Company will be unable to obtain financing to fund its operation and as such the Company may be forced to cease operations at any time which would likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been invested in and/or borrowed by the Company to date.

The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and to generate negative cash flow from operating activities, while building out its infrastructure in order to explore and salvage historic shipwreck sites and establishing itself in the marketplace. Based on our historical rate of expenditures, the Company expects to expend its available cash in less than one month from August 14, 2017.

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 its business plan successfully, it may not be able to eliminate operating losses, generate positive cash flow or achieve or sustain profitability, which may 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 operations.

The Company’s lack of operating cash flow and reliance on the sale of its commons stock and loans to fund operations is extremely risky. If the Company is unable to continue to raise capital or obtain loans or other financing on terms that are acceptable to the Company, or at all, then it is highly likely that the Company will be forced to cease operations. If the Company ceases its operations, then it is likely that all capital invested in and/or borrowed by the Company will be lost.

Summary of Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 Results of Operations

Net losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 were $560,836 versus $507,178 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of approximately 11%. The increase in net losses in 2017 was primarily due to increases in consulting and contractor expenses, general and administrative expenses, and surveying and mapping expenses. During the six month period ended June 30, 2017, consulting and contractor fees were $186,947 compared to $171,341 during the six month period ended June 30, 2016. The approximate 9% increase in consulting and contractor fees in 2017 was largely a result of increased operating activity as the Company geared up for the summer dive season and stock based compensation being paid to several consultants for business consulting, legal, advisory council, operations, archeological services as well as the payment of Board of Directors’ fees. The general and administrative expenses for the period ended June 30, 2017 were $46,451 compared to $29,426 for the period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of approximately 58%. Surveying and site mapping expense was $15,595 during the three month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $4,493 during the same period in 2016, an increase of approximately 215%. During the six month period ended June 30, 2017 the Company incurred vessel related expenses of $44,389. During 2017 the Company’s main salvage vessel has required extensive repairs and increased maintenance, while there were not any major maintenance issues or repairs to its main salvage vessel during for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. During the six month period ended June 30, 2017 the Company incurred professional fees related expenses of $22,204 versus $47,670 during the six month period ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately 53%. Professional fees decreased as a result of the Company paying less for legal fees due to the winding down of issues pertaining to a lawsuit that was settled in 2016. Travel and entertainment expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 were $17,999 versus $17,287 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, an increase of approximately 4%. Rent expense was $20,574 in 2017 versus $16,060 in 2016, a 28% year-over-year increase. Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 was $189,685 versus $203,459for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. Interest expense decreased in 2017 due to the impact of fair value measurement of various convertible notes.

Summary of Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Results of Operations

The Company’s net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 was $239,854 as compared to a net loss of $326,116 during the three month period ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately 26.5%. The decrease in the net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to a decrease in losses from operations and a decrease in interest expense. During the three month period ended June 30, 2017 consulting and contractor fees were $65,834 as compared to $125,787 for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The approximate 47.7% decrease in consulting and contractor fees in 2017 was largely a result of a decrease in the amount of fewer shares of stock paid out to independent contractors and consultants in 2017. During the three month period ended June 30, 2017, professional fees were $4,024 as compared to $12,375 during the three month period ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately 67.5%. Professional fees decreased due to the Company paying less for legal fees due to the winding down of issues pertaining to a lawsuit that was settled in 2016. The Company incurred travel and entertainment expenses of $7,555 during the three month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $13,711 during the three month period ended June 30, 2016, an approximate 45% decrease on a quarter-over-quarter basis. The general and administrative expenses for the period ended June 30, 2017 was $13,908 compared to $3,290 for the period ended June 30, 2016, a quarter-over-quarter increase of approximately 322.7%. Vessel maintenance and dockage was $31,364 during the three month period ended June 30, 2017. As the Company ramped up operations in 2017 its main salvage vessel required extensive repair and maintenance work. The Company did not incur significant expenses for repairs to the main salvage vessel during the three month period ended June 30, 2016, however the Company believes more extensive repairs will be needed in the foreseeable future on both the main salvage vessel and other vessels that the Company intends to utilize in its exploration efforts. Interest expense decreased to$101,692 during the three month period ended June 30, 2017 from $135,227 during the three month period ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of approximately 25%. The decrease in interest expense was due to the impact of fair value measurement of various convertible notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2017, we had cash in the bank of $3,347. During the six month period ended June 30, 2017 we incurred a net loss of $560,836. At June 30, 2017, we had $95,405 in current assets and $1,038,233 in current liabilities, leaving us a working capital deficit of $942,828.

Lack of Liquidity

A major financial challenge and significant risk facing the Company is a lack of liquidity. The Company continued to operate with significant debt and a working capital deficit during the period ended June 30, 2017. This working capital deficit indicates that the Company is unable to meet its short-term liabilities with its current assets. This working capital deficit is extremely risky for the Company as it may be forced to cease its operations due to its inability to meet its current obligations. If the Company is forced to cease its operations then it is highly likely that all capital invested in and/or loaned to the Company will be lost.

The expenses associated with being a small publicly traded company attempting to develop the infrastructure to explore and salvage historic shipwrecks recovery are extremely onerous, especially given that the Company does not currently generate any revenues and does not expect to generate any revenues in the near future. There are ongoing expenses associated with operations that are incurred whether the Company is conducting shipwreck exploration and recovery operations or not. Vessel maintenance, particularly for an older vessel such as the Company’s main salvage vessel, upkeep expenses and docking fees are continuous and unavoidable regardless of the Company’s operational status. Management anticipates the Company may need to put the vessel in dry dock in order for additional repairs to be made. These repairs and maintenance are expensive and have a negative impact on the Company’s cash position.

In addition to the operations expenses, a publicly traded company also incurs the significant recurring corporate expenses related to maintaining publicly traded status, which include, but are not limited to accounting, legal, audit, executive, administrative, corporate communications, rent, telephones, etc. The recurring expenses associated with being a publicly traded company are very burdensome for smaller public companies such as Seafarer. This lack of liquidity creates a very risky situation for the Company in terms of its ability to continue operating, which in turn makes owning shares of the Company’s common stock extremely risky and highly speculative. The Company’s lack of liquidity may cause the Company to be forced to cease operations at any time which would likely result in a complete loss of all capital invested in or borrowed by the Company to date.

Due to the fact that the Company does not generate any revenues and does not expect to generate revenues for the foreseeable future the Company must rely on outside equity and debt funding. The combination of the ongoing operational, even during times when there is little to no exploration or recovery activities taking place, and corporate expenses as well as the need for outside financing creates a very risky situation for the Company and its shareholders. This working capital shortfall and lack of access to cash to fund corporate activities is extremely risky and may force the Company to cease its operations which would more than likely result in a complete loss of all capital invested in or loaned to the Company to date.

If we are unable to secure additional financing, the Company's business may fail and our stock price will likely be materially adversely affected.

Lack of Revenues and Cash Flow/Significant Losses from Operations

The exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks requires a multi-year, multi stage process and it may be many years before any revenue is generated from exploration and recovery activities, if ever. The Company believes that it may be several years before it is able to generate any cash flow from its operations, if any are ever generated at all. Without revenues and cash flow the Company does not have reliable cash flow to pay its expenses.

The Company relies on outside financing in the form of equity and debt and it is possible that the Company may not be able to obtain outside financing in the future. If the Company is not able to obtain financing it would more than likely be forced to cease operations and all of the capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company would be lost. If the Company is unable to secure additional financing, our business may fail or our operating results and our stock price may be materially adversely affected. The raising of additional financing would in all likelihood result in dilution or significant reduction in the value of the Company’s securities.

The Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. If the Company is not able to continue as a going concern, it is highly likely that all capital invested in the Company or borrowed by the Company will be lost. The report of our independent auditors for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to our financial statements for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we have experienced operating losses in every year since our inception resulting in an accumulated deficit. Our financial results as of June 30, 2017 raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is not able to continue as a going concern, it is highly likely that all capital invested in the Company or borrowed by the Company will be lost.

The Company has experienced a net loss in every fiscal year since inception. The Company’s losses from operations were $371,151 for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 and $303,719 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. The Company believes that it will continue to generate losses from its operation for the foreseeable future and the Company may not be able to generate a profit in the long-term, or ever. Due to the significance of these matters there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Any investment in the Company’s securities is very speculative with a very high chance of a total loss of all invested capital.

Convertible Notes Payable and Notes Payable, in Default

The Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to refinance its convertible notes payable and notes payable 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 the obligations arising under the secured notes. If any of the lenders file suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral, then the Company may be forced to significantly scale back or cease its operations which would more than likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company. The fact that the Company is in default regarding several loans held by various lenders makes investing in the Company or providing any loans to the Company extremely risky with a very high potential for a complete loss of capital.

The convertible notes that have been issued by the Company are convertible at the lender’s option. These convertible notes represent significant potential dilution to the Company’s current shareholders as the convertible price of these notes is generally lower than the current market price of the Company’s shares. As such when these notes are converted into equity there is typically a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and very high probability that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Company’s common stock. Furthermore, management intends to have discussions or has already had discussions with several of the promissory note holders who do not currently have convertible notes regarding converting their notes into equity. Any such amended agreements to convert promissory notes into equity would more than likely have a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and there is a very high probability that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Company’s common stock.

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 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 (see Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the notes to the Company’s financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016). 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 based upon different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates are reasonable.

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.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4T. 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 under the supervision of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer 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 (the “Exchange Act”), is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer/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, 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) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2017. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely record, process, summarize and report financial information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and review process, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.

The management including its Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures, or its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

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 Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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 the possible remedial measures set forth below. As of June 30, 2017 we did not have sufficient capital and/or operations to implement any of the remedial measures described below.

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 will consider nominating an audit committee and audit committee financial expert, which may or may not consist of independent members.

(b) Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company has not made any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended June 30, 2017.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued or agreed to issue 15,500,008 shares of its restricted common stock for various consulting services for legal, dive operations, advisory council fees, archeological and business advisory fees, etc. The Company believes that the issuance of the securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering and based on the fact that such securities were issued for services to sophisticated or accredited investors and persons who are thoroughly familiar with the Company’s proposed business by virtue of their affiliation with the Company.

On various dates during the three month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company entered into subscription agreements to sell 99,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock in exchange for proceeds of 103,600. The proceeds received were used for general corporate purposes, working capital and the repayment of debt.

Exemptions from Registration for Sales of Restricted Securities.

The issuance of securities referenced above were issued to persons who the Company believes 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. None of these transactions involved a public offering. An appropriate restrictive legend was placed on each certificate that has been issued, prohibiting public resale of the shares, except subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or in compliance with Rule 144. The Company believes that the offer and sale of these securities was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) thereof, and/or Regulation D. There may be additional exemptions available to the Company.

Issuance of Securities Due to Conversion of Notes and Debt

During the three month period ended June 30, 2017, the holder of a promissory notes with a remaining principal balance of $25,750 elected to convert all of the balance of the notes plus accrued interest into 30,950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company believes that the offer and sale of these securities were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

The Company has several promissory notes and loans that are currently in default to non-payment of principle and interest. See Part I, Item 2, notes payable and convertible notes payable, in default, for discussion of defaults on certain debt obligations of the Company.
