Part 1: Financial Information

 

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 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 16, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2019 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, recovery, and conservation of historic shipwrecks with the objective of exploring and discovering Colonial-era shipwrecks for future generations to be able to appreciate and understand.

 

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Blockchain LogisTech, LLC, was formed on April 4, 2018 and began operations in 2019. Blockchain LogisTech, LLC provides customer referrals to a blockchain related software services company.

 

Florida Division of Historical Resources Agreements/Permits

 

The Company successfully renewed its permits for both Areas 1 and 2 for the Melbourne Beach site. The Area 2 permit was renewed on January 14, 2019 for a period of three years. The Area 1 permit was renewed on March 1, 2019 for a period of three years.

 

Federal Admiralty Judgement

 

As previously noted on its form 8-K filed on November 22, 2017, Seafarer was granted, through the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, a final judgment for its federal admiralty claim on the Juno Beach shipwreck site.

 

Blockchain Software Services Referral Agreement

 

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Blockchain LogisTech, LLC, has a strategic partnership to provide referrals to a blockchain software services provider and receive referral fees when the referrals lead to closed business for the blockchain software services company.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

These condensed consolidated 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 incurred 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 November 14, 2019. 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 significant revenues for the foreseeable future. At September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,078,025. 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.

 

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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and Blockchain LogisTech, LLC which is a wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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. There were no cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $210,135 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $327,935 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) and all the related amendments. The Company elected to adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the referrals that Blockchain LogisTech, LLC has made to a provider of software services when payment for a referral is received from the provider of software services.

 

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.

 

The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were excluded from the dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net loss. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, there were 545,722,872 and 569,808,777 shares of common stock underlying our outstanding convertible notes payable and warrants, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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.

 

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 nine months ended September, 2019 and 2018.

12

 

Use of Estimates

 

The process of preparing condensed consolidated 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 consolidated 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 provides comprehensive guidance on derivative and hedging transactions. It sets forth the definition of a derivative instrument and specifies how to account for such instruments, including derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments. In addition, ASC 815 establishes when reporting entities, in certain limited, well-defined circumstances, may apply hedge accounting to a relationship involving a designated hedging instrument and hedged exposure. Hedge accounting provides an alternative, special way of accounting for such relationships. ASC 815 also provides guidance on how reporting entities determine whether an instrument is (1) indexed to the reporting entity’s own stock and (2) considered to be settled in the reporting entity’s own stock. Such a determination will dictate whether an instrument should be accounted for as debt or equity and the appropriate accounting for the instrument. Finally, ASC 815 addresses the accounting for non-exchange-traded weather derivatives. 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. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. ASC 470-10 addresses classification determination for specific obligations, such as short-term obligations expected to be refinanced on a long-term basis, due-on-demand loan arrangements, callable debt, sales of future revenue, increasing rate debt, debt that includes covenants, revolving credit agreements subject to lock-box arrangements and subjective acceleration clauses, indexed debt. 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.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company applies the fair value method of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“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 fair 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 and other pertinent factors at the grant date.

 

Through December 31, 2018, the Company accounted for transactions in which services were received from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the equity instruments exchanged, in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity Based payments to Non-employees”. The Company measured the fair value of the equity instruments issued based on the fair value of the Company’s stock on contract execution and recognizes the value of the award over the service period. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is intended to simplify the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees.

 

Fully vested and non-forfeitable shares issued prior to the services being performed are classified as prepaid expenses.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606.

 

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.

 

Operating lease right of use assets (“ROU”) assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed statements of operations.

13

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

All other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 4 – OPERATING LEASE AND RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

 

The Company leases 823 square feet of office space located at 14497 North Dale Mabry Highway, Suite 209-N, Tampa, Florida 33618. The Company entered into an amended lease agreement commencing on July 20, 2017 through June 30, 2020 with base month 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 be additional fees charged about the base monthly rental fee.

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value is our incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 6%, as the interest rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $3,945 and $0 and $11,835 and $0, respectively, as operating lease expense which is included in rent expenses on the statements of operations.

 

In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. On January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $22,575.

 

Right-of- use assets are summarized below:

 

   September 30, 2019 
   (Unaudited) 
Office lease (remaining lease term of 12 months)  $22,575 
Less accumulated amortization   (10,828)

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENT IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS, INC.

 

The Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Probability and Statistics, Inc. (“P&S”), a privately held corporation, in August of 2018.

 

Under the terms of the share exchange agreement, the Company agreed to issue 60,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock to P&S in exchange for 10,000 common shares of P&S or a 1% interest. All shares issued by both parties under the agreement have all rights and entitlements as the common stock of every other shareholder of such share class.

 

The investment in P&S was valued at $78,000 based on fair value of the Company’s shares issued to P&S on the date of the share exchange agreement.

 

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND NOTES PAYABLE

 

Upon inception, the Company evaluates each financial instrument to determine whether it meets the definition of “conventional convertible” debt under ASC 470.

Note Conversions

 

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019:

 

A lender converted the principal and accrued interest for a convertible promissory note outstanding with a principal balance of $1,000 into 1,284,938 shares of the Company’s common stock. The remaining principal balance of this note was $0 at September 30, 2019.

 

The Company issued 18,869,220 shares of common stock to settle $90,182 of accrued interest owed on fourteen convertible notes payable.

 

The Company issued 37,806,585 shares of common stock to settle $199,497 of principal and accrued interest owed on four convertible notes payable and one note payable. The remaining principal balance of all of these note was $0 at September 30, 2019. Due to the extinguishment of the one note payable with common stock a loss in the amount of $5,274 was recognized upon settlement.

 

Shareholder Loans

 

At September 30, 2019 the Company had a loan outstanding to its CEO in the amount of $1,500. The loan has a 2% annual rate of interest and an option to convert the loan into restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.0005.

 

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.

 

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 shares of the Company’s common stock there is typically a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and very possible that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Company’s common stock.

 

As of November 14, 2019 convertible note payable and notes payable with a combined face value of $821,400 were in default.

18

Overview

 

General

 

The Company’s principal business plan is to develop the infrastructure and technology 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’s secondary business is to develop revenue streams to support its historic shipwreck exploration and recovery operations.

 

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. The Company intends to use its best efforts to maintain periodic ongoing education of personnel involved in its operations.

 

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. For safety reasons, the Company chooses to not work in seas over three feet. To date in 2019 the Company has had limited days to work because the seas have generally been over three feet. 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, and already has been, that results from needed repairs being made or a lack of current financing to make repairs to the vessel.

 

There are very restrictive 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.

22

 

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. Some governmental agencies may refuse to issue permits to the Company for recovery of artifacts or intentionally delay the permitting process.

 

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 identify and located 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. Such litigation, if it were to occur, would more than likely be very expensive. 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. The Company does have plans for security at sea, but may never implement such plans. 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.

 

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.

 

In the past the Company has investigated various technologies and non-scientific equipment to help better explore or document our sites. To present date, nothing has been proven to work. The Company will continue to experiment with unproven technologies and will actively work with third party scientists and engineers as independent contractors to develop its own proprietary technology. The cost of scientist, equipment, and laboratories for inventing proprietary technology will be expensive and will negatively impact the Company. The Company will also continue to investigate media opportunities.

 

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 very 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 or to settle other loans and debt, may cause a significant decline in the market price of the Company’s securities. Regulatory agencies are also making it difficult for broker dealers to accept stock certificates from issuers of low priced stocks, even though the issuer is fully reporting and current with their required regulatory filings.

 

Some clearing firms who used to clear low priced securities for multiple brokerage firms have closed or been acquired, resulting in fewer brokerage firms that are willing or able to accept lower priced securities for deposit. Unless an investor has a large and well-established relationship with a brokerage firm, it will be very difficult and potentially expensive to deposit lower priced 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.

 

The Company has generated limited revenues to date, including some nominal revenue from dividends and our business goals continue to evolve. Relationships are being developed with scientists, as well as with for profit companies.

 

The Company continues to review revenue producing opportunities including joint ventures with other companies and potentially governmental agencies. These opportunities have been slow to develop, but the Company will continue to pursue those endeavors.

 

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 may develop its own proprietary technology or work with third parties to develop technology to aid in its exploration and recovery operations, which will require additional time and financing. The cost of developing the new technology has, to date, been very expensive.

 

The Company has investigated media opportunities and will continue to evaluate different media strategies.

 

The Company is actively looking to partner with revenue producing companies similar to Probability and Statistics, Inc.

 

The Company has previously performed some exploration and recovery operations at what it believes to be a shipwreck site located off of the coast of Florida in northern Palm Beach County, more specifically in an area known as “Juno Beach” (the “Juno Beach Shipwreck”). The Company had previously obtained a recovery permit from the State of Florida for the Juno Beach site. The recovery permit expired in April of 2014. In March of 2015, Seafarer was awarded full rights to the Juno site pursuant to a court order, erasing all rights of the Company’s previous partner with regards to the site. The Juno site was arrested permanently to Seafarer by the U.S. Marshal’s offices in July 7 of 2017 and in November 2017 the Company was granted final judgment on its federal admiralty claim for the Juno Beach shipwreck site. The Company has submitted a request for renewal of a full recovery permit, however there is no guarantee that a renewal permit will be issued to the Company.

 

The Company believes it is possible the Juno Beach shipwreck site may potentially contain remnants of a sunken 1500s era ship; however, the Company does not have definitive evidence of the ship’s country of origin. Due to the fact that the Company does not currently have sufficient data to positively identify the potential Juno Beach shipwreck, or its country of origin, it is not possible to determine whether or not the ship was originally carrying cargo of any significant value. To date the Company has not located the main body of a shipwreck at the Juno Beach site, only a lot of shipwreck material and remnants including pottery, porcelain, cannon balls, musket balls, ballast stones, nails, spikes, wood and scattered pieces of a sunken ship.

 

The Company has determined that a large part of the magnetometer survey of the Juno Beach Shipwreck site that was previously provided to the Company and to the State of Florida by a past partner has an area that was intentionally deleted from the survey. The Company will complete a magnetometer survey of the entire deleted area when certain conditions are met. There is also possibility that there are no artifacts of significant value located at the Juno Beach shipwreck site. Even if there are valuable artifacts and/or treasure located at the site, recovering them may be difficult due to a variety of challenges that include, but are not limited to; inclement weather, hazardous ocean conditions, large amounts of sand that cover large areas of the site, lack of the necessary equipment to be able to dig deep enough into the sand, etc.

 

There is a purported historic shipwreck site in the waters off of Brevard County Florida that the Company desires to investigate. In February 2013, the Company signed an agreement with a third party who has previously explored this site for the right to investigate the site. In March of 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. 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 the site.

 

In July of 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. 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 to date. An archeologist with the technical skills, knowledge, and experience from around the world was hired to help ensure the integrity of the work. The Company has applied for permits from the State of Florida for two additional areas that were formerly permitted solely by an affiliate of Marine Archeological Partners, LLC. The Permit for one of the additional areas was given to the Company on July 6, 2016 and identified as Area 1. Both permits for Area 1 and Area 2 have been renewed in 2019 for an additional 3 years.

24

 

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 is also actively researching, exploring and testing new technology to help more accurately understand current and future wreck sites in an unobtrusive manner. Up to the date of this filing, all tests of new and unproven technology and methods have failed with the exception of a proprietary search device that the Company has developed in conjunction with an outside technology laboratory. The device is named the SeaSearcher and is currently being tested and reviewed for efficacy.

 

Additionally, the Company is reviewing a few business opportunities that may allow it to eventually generate revenue streams to support the operational expenses of Seafarer. Seafarer has also acquired a 1% ownership position in Probability and Statistics, Inc. (P&S) for an exchange of Seafarer’s restricted stock. The Company also has a commission only contract with P&S for any business it refers to P&S.

 

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Blockchain LogisTech, LLC had previously located potential opportunities for P&S to deliver blockchain related solutions. Blockchain LogisTech, LLC is working with P&S to develop additional referral opportunities. The Company has opened a division under Blockchain Logistech to meet the needs of cities and municipalities who are being hacked and held for ransom.

 

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 potential future revenue opportunity for the Company, if the right circumstances arise.

 

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 very 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.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

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 site 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 alleged in its complaint the expenditure of large amounts of shares and monies for financing and for delays due to Tulco’s non-performance. Seafarer sought 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 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 filed an Admiralty Claim over such site in the United States District Court. 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. The Court subsequently entered and Order directing the arrest warrant for such site, and such arrest warrant was issued by the Clerk of Court. 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. On November 14, 2017, Judge Kenneth Marra of the United States District Court awarded Seafarer all rights as the sole owner of the sunken vessel and any items on such site.

 

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 rejected by the Court. 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 had 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 was 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 2019.

Limited Operating History

 

The Company has not currently generated only minimal revenue from operations and does not expect to report any significant revenue from operations for the foreseeable future.

 

At September 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,078,025. 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 November 14, 2019.

 

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 very highly likely that all capital invested in and/or borrowed by the Company will be lost.

 

Summary of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Results of Operations

 

Net loss for the nine month period September 30, 2019 were $1,643,452 versus $1,009,159 for the nine month period September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately 64%. The increase in net losses in 2019 was primarily due to increases in research and development expenses, consulting and contractor expenses, general and administrative expenses, vessel maintenance expenses, and professional fees. Research and development was $327,935 in 2019, there were no research and development expenses in 2018. The increase in research and development expenses is attributable to the development of the Company’s SeaSearcher drone device. During the nine month period September 30, 2019, consulting and contractor fees were $852,342 compared to $578,175 during the nine month period September 30, 2018. The approximate 47% increase in consulting and contractor fees in 2019 was largely a result of increased stock based compensation being paid to several consultants for strategy and business consulting, advisory council, technology consulting and research, operations, legal services as well as the payment of board of directors’ fees. General and administrative expenses for the nine month period September 30, 2019 were $107,062 compared to $54,300 for the nine month period September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately 97%. During the nine month period September 30, 2019 the Company incurred vessel related expenses of $71,176 versus vessel related expenses of $37,995 during the same period in 2018, an increase of approximately 87%. The increase in vessel related expenses were primarily due to repairs to the Company’s main salvage vessel and additional repairs and dockage for other vessels. The Company did incur some expenses for repairs to the main salvage vessel in 2019, and the Company also deferred making some repairs, however the Company believes that extensive repairs will be needed in the foreseeable future on both the main salvage vessel and some repairs on other vessels that the Company intends to utilize in its exploration efforts. During the nine month period September 30, 2019 the Company incurred professional fees related expenses of $78,575 versus $46,950 during nine month period September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately 67%. Rent expense was $28,596 in 2019 versus $25,775 in 2018, an 11% year-over-year increase. Travel and entertainment expenses for nine month period September 30, 2019 were $43,405 versus $50,087 for the nine month period September 30, 2018, a decrease of approximately 13%. Interest expense for the nine month period September 30, 2019 was $146,187 versus $195,377 for the nine month period September 30, 2018, a decrease of approximately 25%. Interest expense decreased in 2019 due to the conversion by several note holders of the conversion their promissory notes into common stock and the impact of the beneficial feature conversion features recorded on convertible debt as debt discounts and amortized into interest expense.

 

Summary of Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Results of Operations

 

The Company’s net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 was $701,815 as compared to a net loss of $295,102 during the three month period ended September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately 138%. The increase in net losses in 2019 was primarily due to increases in research and development expenses, consulting and contractor expenses, and vessel maintenance expenses. Research and development were $210,135 in 2019, there were no research and development expenses in 2018. The increase in research and development expenses is attributable to the development of the Company’s SeaSearcher drone device. During the three month period ended September 30, 2019 consulting and contractor fees were $361,079 as compared to $148,016 for the three month period ended September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately 144%. Vessel maintenance and dockage was $29,189 during the three month period ended September 30, 2019 versus $14,890 during the same period in 2018, an increase of 96% in 2019. During the three month period ended September 30, 2019, professional fees were $26,000 as compared to $11,224 during the three month period ended September 30, 2018, an increase of approximately 132%. The general and administrative expenses for the period ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $11,604 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2018. The Company incurred travel and entertainment expenses of $15,730 during three month period ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $13,500 during three month period ended September 30, 2018, an approximate 17% increase on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Interest expense increased to $55,908 during the three month period ended September 30, 2019 from $85,670 during the three month period ended September 30, 2018, an decrease of approximately 35%. Interest expense decreased in 2019 due to the conversion by several note holders of the conversion their promissory notes into common stock and the impact of the beneficial feature conversion features recorded on convertible debt as debt discounts and amortized into interest expense.

Revenue

 

The Company’s core business involving the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks has not generated any revenues to date and is not expected to generate any significant revenues for the foreseeable future. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 the Company generated $12,600 in revenues which is shown as service income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2019, the Company had cash in the bank of $91,146. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 we incurred a net loss of $1,643,452. At September 30, 2019, we had $151,145 in current assets and $1,229,170 in current liabilities, leaving us a working capital deficit of $1,078,025.

 

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 nine month period ended September 30, 2019. 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 significant 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 has generated only minimal revenues and does not expect to generate significant 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 and our common stock may become worthless.

 

Lack of Significant 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 significant revenues and a recurring source of cash flows the Company does not have reliable cash flows to pay its expenses and fund its operations.

 

The Company has experienced a net loss in every fiscal year since inception. The Company’s losses from operations were $1,496,491 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 and $813,782 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. 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 highly speculative with a very high chance of a total loss of all invested capital.

 

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.

27

 

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, 2018 and 2017 raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we have experienced operating losses in every year since our inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $16,598,271 as of September 30, 2019. Our financial results as of September 30, 2019 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.

 

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 consolidated 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 (see Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018). 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 consolidated 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

 

None.

 

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 September 30, 2019. 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 consolidated 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 September 30, 2019 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 September 30, 2019.

Part II. Other Information

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

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. On November 14, 2017, Judge Kenneth Marra of the United States District Court awarded Seafarer all rights as the sole owner of the sunken vessel and any items on such site.

 

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 rejected 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 2018.

Exemptions from Registration for Sales of Restricted Securities.

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.
