UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Description of business –Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “BWMG”) designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and nitrox generation systems, and scuba and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. The Company sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name of Trebor Industries, Inc. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “BWMG”.

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

Definition of fiscal year – The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. 

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 financial statement amounts to conform to the 2014 financial statement presentation. Effective July 15, 2013 the Company effectuated a reverse stock split (1 -for- 1,350). See Note 18. CHANGE IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE for more information. Accordingly, the transactional number of shares referenced throughout the Notes has been retroactively stated unless otherwise noted.

Cash and equivalents – Only highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

Going Concern –The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. We have incurred losses since 2009, and expect to have during 2014. We have had a working capital deficit since 2009.

The Company is behind on payments due for payroll taxes and withholding, matured convertible debentures, related parties notes payable, accrued liabilities and interest – related parties, and certain vendor payables. The Company is handling delinquencies on a case by case basis. However, there can be no assurance that cooperation the Company has received thus far will continue. Payment delinquencies are further addressed in Note 7. RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS, Note 9. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED LIABILITIES, Note 10. OTHER LIABILITIES, Note 11. NOTES PAYABLE, and Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES.

BROWNIE’S MARINE GROUP, INC.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Going Concern (continued) – During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company formed a joint venture with one dive entity, and in the first quarter of 2012, purchased the assets of another, with assumption of their retail location lease. The Company accomplished both transactions predominantly through issuance of restricted common stock in BWMG. The Company believed these transactions would help generate sufficient future working capital. Neither endeavor did or has generated profit or positive cash-flow. Therefore, effective May 31, 2013, the Company closed and ceased operations at its retail facility. The Company is still involved in the joint venture. See Note 17. JOINT VENTURE EQUITY EXCHANGE AGREEMENT and Note 8. ASSET PURCHASE for further discussion of these transactions. As a result, the Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations beyond the second quarter of 2014. This raises substantial doubt about BWMG’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. BWMG has issued a number of convertible debentures as an interim measure to finance working capital needs as discussed in Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES and may continue to raise additional capital through sale of restricted common stock or other securities, and obtaining some short term loans. The Company has paid for legal and consulting services with restricted stock to maximize working capital, and intends to continue this practice when possible. In addition, the Company implemented some cost saving measures and will continue to explore more to reduce operating expenses.

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

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

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

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

Revenue recognition – Revenues from product sales are recognized when the Company’s products are shipped or when service is rendered. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost of each contract. This method is used because management considers the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Change in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Revenue and costs incurred for time and material projects are recognized as the work is performed.

BROWNIE’S MARINE GROUP, INC.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Product development costs – Product development expenditures are charged to expenses as incurred.

Advertising and marketing costs – The Company expenses the costs of producing advertisements and marketing material at the time production occurs, and expenses the costs of communicating advertisements and participating in trade shows in the period in which occur. Advertising and trade show expense was $912 and $27,262 for the years ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

Customer deposits and returns policy – The Company takes a minimum 50% deposit against custom and large tankfill systems prior to ordering and/or building the systems. The remaining balance due is payable upon delivery, shipment, or installation of the system. There is no provision for cancellation of custom orders once the deposit is accepted, nor return of the custom ordered product. Additionally, returns of all other merchandise are subject to a 15% restocking fee as stated on each sales invoice.

Income taxes – The Company accounts for its income taxes under the assets and liabilities method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, they would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

Comprehensive income – The Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income equals comprehensive income for all periods.

Stock-based compensation – The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued on the effective date of the agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which includes determination of the fair value of the share-based transaction. The fair value has been determined either through use of the quoted stock price.

BROWNIE’S MARINE GROUP, INC.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Stock-based compensation (continued) – For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company compensated and/or converted all accrued payroll to stock for one employee. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company transacted stock-based compensation transactions as follows: amortized prepaid equity based compensation for personal guarantees of Chief Executive Officer on Company’s bank debt; additional compensation expense to the Chief Executive Officer; Board of Directors’ Fees and Bonuses; certain consulting, legal, and other professional fees; equity based incentive and/or retention bonuses for some employees, and consultants; and operating expense for exclusivity pursuant to strategic alliance agreement payable. These transactions, as applicable, are also further discussed in Note 7. RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS, Note 13. EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION FOR CONSULTING, LEGAL, AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, Note 20. EQUITY BASED INCENTIVE/RETENTION BONUSES, and Note 12. STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AGREEMENT.

Beneficial conversion features on convertible debentures – The fair value of the stock upon which to base the beneficial conversion feature (BCF) computation has been determined either through use of the quoted stock price unless the trading activity is nominal, which may indicate it does not represent the fair value. Under these circumstances, the Company determines fair value through an analysis of its fair value of net assets and comparable publicly traded companies that have higher trading volumes with similar results of operations and industries.  See Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES for further discussion.

Fair value of financial instruments – Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Company. Management considers observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, provided by multiple, independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Company’s perceived risk of that investment.

BROWNIE’S MARINE GROUP, INC.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fair value of financial instruments (continued) – At March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related parties, customer deposits and unearned revenue, royalties payable – related parties, other liabilities, other liabilities and accrued interest – related parties, notes payable, notes payable – related parties, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s convertible debentures was the principal balance due at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, or $516,800, and $526,910, respectively, as presented in Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES. The principal balance due approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. On the face of the balance sheet the convertible debentures are presented net of discount, which is less than fair market value at period end dates when discount is not fully accreted.

Earnings per common share – Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. All common stock equivalent shares were excluded in the computation dilutive earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, since their effect was antidilutive.

New accounting pronouncements – The Company believes there was no new accounting guidance adopted but not yet effective that either has not already been disclosed in prior reporting periods or is relevant to the readers of BWMG’s financial statements.

During the second quarter of 2010, the holder of the majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorizing the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock as authorized has such voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights as may be determined by our Board of Directors of the Company from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Before modification, the existing Articles of Incorporation did not authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock.

On December 18, 2012, Undersea Breathing Systems, Inc. (“UBS”) filed an amended complaint against the Company compelling purchase of Medal Model No. 4241 membranes or equivalent pursuant to pricing agreement in 2011. UBS is the holder of the convertible debenture referenced in Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES Ref (3). Under the complaint, UBS asserts the Company was to purchase no less than 24 membranes from the company per year for $2,000 and $1,000, cash and Company stock, respectively, per membrane. The Company took delivery, paid cash, and issued stock for 14 Medal Model No 4241 membranes pursuant to the stated pricing in 2011, plus issued an additional $24,000 stock toward future purchases of 24 membranes. However, the Company has not purchased or taken delivery of additional membranes. At the same time the stock was issued the Company granted UBS a convertible debenture of $76,000 and reduced its balance to $48,000 when the Company paid $28,000 cash and took delivery of the 14 membranes. Therefore, UBS currently has $24,000 worth of stock and a $48,000 convertible debenture for which the Company took no membrane deliveries. If judgment or settlement were to go in favor of UBS, there would be no financial impact to the statement of operations or net impact on financial position. This is because there would be corresponding decreases in amounts to convertible debenture, prepaid inventory, cash, and increase in inventory, all netting to zero. In addition any future compelled purchases would result in a decrease in cash with corresponding increase in inventory. As a result, no accrual is warranted, and the Company will await legal advisement and decision on the matter.

On or about May 3, 2012, the Company received notice of filing of an action for breach of contract, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and injunctive relief against the Company and the first party named in Note 12.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES, Ref (1) who purchased the original debenture from the first party. The net book value, excluding interest, on the debenture as of December 31, 2012 was approximately $12,700. The amount named in the original lawsuit was “damages in excess of $15,000”, plus other fees. On July 16, 2012, the Palm Beach County Court issued an Order on the Company’s Motion to dismiss this complaint. The motion was granted without prejudice to allow the plaintiff 15 days to file an amended complaint with substantiating documentation. The plaintiff amended its complaint as required, asserted it incurred a loss of $735,616 in damages. The other Defendant in the action has asserted counter and third party claims against the plaintiff. Per the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, the plaintiff has failed to establish any legal or factual basis for claim, and judgment or settlement against the Company is not probable.

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

If BWMG purchases PDC, the stock issued by BWMG will be credited to the purchase price. Further, PDC is required to remit no later than 45 days from the end of each quarter, a 33% share in pre-tax net profits. At least 50% of the total pre-tax profits are required for distribution under the Agreement, and BWMG is not required to share in losses. If PDC decides to sell any inventory provided by the Company, the purchase price will be the same as that offered to other dealers of the Company’s products.

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

Effective July 15, 2013, the Company effectuated a reverse split of all outstanding shares of Common Stock by a factor of one-for-one thousand three hundred fifty (1 -for- 1,350). Fractional shares were rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse split became effective as of July 15, 2013. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commissions’ Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4C, when a change in capital structure occurs after the period reporting date, but before release of the financial statements the Company must apply retroactive treatment to the financial statements to reflect the change. Accordingly, the Company restated the financial statements for three months ended March 31, 2013 to reflect the change in the number of shares, as well as throughout the Note disclosures, as applicable.

Effective February 22, 2012, also with retroactive restatement, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 250,000,000 to 5,000,000,000, and decreased the par value per share of Common Stock from $.001 to $.0001.

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

On November 2, 2012, the Board of Directors consented to grant equity based bonuses to certain key employees and consultants as an incentive to retain their services. Stock incentive bonuses were to vest, and be paid out on May 2, 2013, contingent upon continued employment or service. The stock bonus price per share was calculated based on last closing price as reported on per the OTCBB prior to the grant date for a total of $75,100. Shares were set aside and reserved for this transaction. As disclosed in Note 7. RELATED PARTIES TRANSACTIONS, $45,000 and $2,250 of the $75,100 bonuses, or 37,038 and 1,854 shares, were awarded to the Chief Executive Officer and the related party employee, respectively. The Company accrued operating expense ratably from the time of the awards through May 2, 2013, when vested. Of the 61,852 vested shares, only 5,185 have been issued to-date. The rest are reflected in shares payable balance on the Statement of Stockholders’ Deficit and the Balance Sheet.

On April 10, 2012, the Company entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Precision Paddleboards, Inc. The agreement provides for 12 month exclusivity granted for $24,000 in one year restricted stock, or 494 shares. Price per share was calculated as the weighted average per share for 30 days preceding the agreement or $.036 per share. The Company recognized the operating expense ratably over the twelve month vesting term with corresponding entry to shares payable. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 the Company recognized $6,000 operating expense under the agreement. As of March 31, 2014, none of the 494 shares have been paid out and are reflected in shares payable balance on the Statement of Stockholders’ Deficit and the Balance Sheet.

22.  INTEREST EXPENSE NON-RELATED PARTIES AND OTHER EXPENSE (INCOME), NET

On April 30, 2014, Mr. Alexander F. Purdon, was issued 184,202 shares of restricted common stock in lieu of cash for $4,500 employee compensation for the month of April 2014. The number of shares issued was based on the weighted average share price during the month.

Conversions of debentures to shares of common stock occurred subsequent to March 31, 2014. The stock was issued upon partial conversion of a convertible note without restrictive legend pursuant to Rule 144, as the holder acquired convertible note issued by the Company more than six months prior to the date of conversion and did not pay any additional consideration for the shares. Conversions were as follows (ref. number corresponds to lender reference number in Note 12. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES):

Ref (4) lender –

On April 30, 2014, the lender converted $1,920 of its debenture to 400,000 shares.

On April 24, 2014, the lender converted $2,080 of its debenture to 400,000 shares

On April 21, 2014, the lender converted $2,280 of its debenture to 400,000 shares.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014, as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Net revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had net revenues of $588,383 as compared to net revenues of $588,663 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $280, or less than .05%. Sales of hookah systems was up by approximately $23,000, and was offset by approximately $6,000 decline in tankfill system and approximately $17,000 in scuba for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to same period in 2013.

Cost of net revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had cost of net revenues of $465,072 as compared with cost of net revenues of $472,538 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $7,466, or 1.58%.

Gross profit. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had a gross profit of $123,311 as compared to gross profit of $116,125 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $7,186, or 6.19%. The small increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to decrease in cost of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to same period in 2013.

Operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had operating expenses of $180,346 as compared to operating expenses of $577,273 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $396,927, or 68.76%. The $396,927 decrease is comprised of $381,707 decrease in selling, general and administrative, partially offset by $15,550 decrease in research and development costs as compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs of $381,707 is primarily attributable to decrease in Chief Executive Officer’s compensation of approximately $220,000 (non-cash), approximately $46,000 lower legal expense, approximately $62,000 less consulting and other professional fees (primarily non-cash), approximately $26,000 less trade show and advertising expenses, approximately $19,000 less in health insurance costs, and $9,000 net decrease of individually insignificant increases and decreases in other operating account balances during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. The primary reason for the decline in consulting and other professional fees is some of the consultants who accepted equity based compensation arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2013, no longer desired equity in lieu of cash whereby the Company terminated those services. The decrease in health insurance is a result of a lower cost policy and less employees on in the plan in first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. The $15,550 decrease in research and development resulted due to the reduction in Chief Executive Officers salary since a percentage of his salary is allocated to research and development.

Other (income) expense, net. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had other income, net of $18,680 as compared to other expense, net of $726,975 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $745,655 other expense, net, or 102.57%. This account is comprised of other (income) expense, net; change in derivative liability and interest expense. Other (income) expense, net, increased by $128,517 income, net for the period and is comprised of transactions that are generally of a non-recurring nature; change in derivative liability decreased by $565,689; and interest expense decreased by $51,449 for the period. The $128,517 increase in other income, net is primarily attributable to transactions which occurred in either the first quarter of 2014 or 2013, without comparable transactions in both periods, including approximately $93,429 loss on extinguishment of convertible debentures in the first quarter of 2013, and $31,463 write off of accrued legal expense in the first quarter of 2014 due to of overbilling from previous years. The $565,689 reduction in derivative liability is the result of reversal of 100% of the liability in May 2013 as a result of the reverse stock split during that time period, which cured the shortfall of shares available for conversion that resulted in derivative liability. The $51,449 decrease in interest expense for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013, is primarily due to approximately $55,000 less in convertible debenture interest due to fully accreted discounts by the first quarter of 2014, as well as lower convertible debenture balance outstanding during the first quarter of 2014 as compared to first quarter in 2013

Provision for income tax expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had a provision for income tax expense of $44 as compared to a provision for income tax expense of $3,783 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $3,739, or 98.84%.

Net loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had net loss of $38,399 as compared to net loss of $1,191,906 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $1,153,507, or 96.78%. The $1,153,507 decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to the decrease in operating expenses of $396,927 and decrease in other expense, net of $745,655 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had cash and current assets (primarily consisting of inventory) of $1,012,251 and current liabilities of $1,725,977, or a current ratio of .59 to 1. This represents a working capital deficit of $713,726. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and current assets of $1,057,967 and current liabilities of $1,760,058, or a current ratio of .60 to 1. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and current assets of $894,573 and current liabilities of $1,770,503, or a current ratio of .51 to 1.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these financial statements. We have incurred losses since 2009, and expect to have losses through 2014. We have had a working capital deficit since 2009.

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

The Company closed and ceased operations at its retail facility. The Company is still involved in the joint venture. As a result, the Company does not expect that existing cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations beyond the second quarter of 2043. This raises substantial doubt about BWMG’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. We have issued a number of convertible debentures as an interim measure to finance our working capital needs. We have historically paid for many legal and consulting services with restricted stock to maximize working capital. We intend to continue this practice in the future when possible. We have implemented some cost saving measures and will continue to explore more to reduce operating expenses.

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

Certain Business Risks

The Company is subject to various risks, which may materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase the Company’s common stock. These are not the only risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of the Company’s common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Our Ability to Continue As a Going Concern is in Substantial Doubt Absent Obtaining Adequate New Debt or Equity Financing and Achieving Sufficient Sales Levels.

We incurred net loss of approximately $38,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and $788,286 and $2,484,342 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We anticipate these losses will continue for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the Company has negative cash flows from operations, negative working capital, is behind on payments due for payroll taxes and withholding, matured convertible debentures, related party notes payable, accrued liabilities and interest –related parties, a note payable due an unrelated party, and certain vendor payables. The Company is working out all matters of delinquency on a case by case basis. However, there can be no assurance that cooperation the Company has received thus far will continue. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s real estate was foreclosed upon, and the Company now operates under a short-term lease of the property. This raises a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continued existence is dependent upon generating working capital and obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing. Because of our continuing losses, we may not have working capital to permit us to remain in business through the end of the year, without improvements in our cash flow from operations or new financing. Working capital limitations continue to impinge on our day-to-day operations, thus contributing to continued operating losses.

The Optional Conversion Features of a Series of Convertible Debentures Issued by the Company Could Require the Company to Issue a Substantial Number of Shares of Common Stock, Which Will Cause Dilution to the Company’s Stockholders and a Potentially Negative Effect on Our Stock Price.

Since October 4, 2010 the Company has issued convertible debentures to several lenders and other third parties. At March 31, 2014 the outstanding principal balance of these debentures was $516,800. The debentures convert under various conversion formulas, all of which are at a significant discount to market price of our common stock. The conversion of any of the debentures will result in the issuance of a significant number of shares of our common stock which will cause dilution to our existing shareholders. Furthermore, the conversion at a significant discount to the market price of our common stock may have a negative effect on our stock price.

Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate Significantly

Our common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. There is a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop. As a result, this could adversely affect our shareholders’ ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than common stock traded in an active public market. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.

Our Common Stock Is Deemed To Be “Penny Stock,” Which May Make It More Difficult For Investors to Sell Their Shares Due To Suitability Requirements

Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Our common stock is covered by an SEC rule that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, which are generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.

Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.

We Depend On the Services of Our Chief Executive Officer

Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of Robert M. Carmichael, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Carmichael has been instrumental in securing our existing financing arrangements. Mr. Carmichael is primarily responsible for the development of our technology and the design of our products. The loss of the services of Mr. Carmichael could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to recruit and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. We do not presently maintain a key-man life insurance policy on Mr. Carmichael.

We Require Additional Personnel and Could Fail To Attract or Retain Key Personnel

Our continued growth depends on our ability to attract and retain a Chief Financial Officer, a Chief Operations Officer, and additional skilled associates. We are currently utilizing the services of two professional consultants in the absence of a Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operations Officer. The loss of the services of these consultants prior to our ability to attract and retain a Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operations Officer may have a material adverse effect upon us. Also, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our existing personnel or attract additional qualified associates in the future.

Our Failure to Obtain Intellectual Property and Enforce Protection Would Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business

Our success depends in part on our ability, and the ability of our patent and trademark licensors, entities owned and controlled by Robert M. Carmichael, our President and Chief Executive Officer, to obtain and defend our intellectual property, including patent protection for our products and processes, preserve our trade secrets, defend and enforce our rights against infringement and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties, both in the United States and in other countries. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual proprietary rights, existing copyright, trademark and trade secret laws afford only limited protection.

Our industry is characterized by frequent intellectual property litigation based on allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights. Although we are not aware of any intellectual property claims against us, we may be a party to litigation in the future.

We May Be Unable To Manage Growth

Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.

Reliance on Vendors and Manufacturers

We deal with suppliers on an order-by order basis and have no long-term purchase contracts or other contractual assurances of continued supply or pricing. In addition, we have no long-term contracts with our manufacturing sources and compete with other companies for production facility capacity. Historically, we have purchased enough inventories of products or their substitutes to satisfy demand. However, unanticipated failure of any manufacturer or supplier to meet our requirements or our inability to build or obtain substitutes could force us to curtail or cease operations.

Dependence on Consumer Spending

The success of the our business depends largely upon a number of factors related to consumer spending, including current and future economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as employment, business conditions, tax rates, and interest rates. In times of economic uncertainty, consumers tend to defer expenditures for discretionary items, which affect demand for our products. Any significant deterioration in overall economic conditions that diminishes consumer confidence or discretionary income can reduce our sales and adversely affect our financial results. The impact of weakening consumer credit markets; layoffs; corporate restructurings; higher fuel prices; declines in the value of investments and residential real estate; and increases in federal and state taxation can all negatively affect our results. There can be no assurance that in this type of environment consumer spending will not decline beyond current levels, thereby adversely affecting our growth, net sales and profitability or that our business will not be adversely affected by continuing or future downturns in the economy, boating industry, or dive industry. If declines in consumer spending on recreational marine accessories and dive gear are other than temporary, we could be forced to curtail operations.

Government Regulations May Impact Us

The SCUBA industry is self-regulating; therefore, Brownie’s is not subject to government industry specific regulation. Nevertheless, Brownie’s strives to be a leader in promoting safe diving practices within the industry and is at the forefront of self-regulation through responsible diving practices. Brownie’s is subject to all regulations applicable to “for profit” companies as well as all trade and general commerce governmental regulation. All required federal and state permits, licenses, and bonds to operate its facility have been obtained. There can be no assurance that our operations will not be subject to more restrictive regulations in the future, which could force us to curtail or cease operations.

Bad Weather Conditions Could Have an Adverse Effect on Operating Results

Our business is significantly impacted by weather patterns. Unseasonably cool weather, extraordinary amounts of rainfall, or unseasonably rough surf, may decrease boat use and diving, thereby decreasing sales. Accordingly, our results of operations for any prior period may not be indicative of results of any future period.

Investors Should Not Rely On an Investment in Our Stock for the Payment of Cash Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the future. Investors should not make an investment in our common stock if they require dividend income. Any return on an investment in our common stock will be as a result of any appreciation, if any, in our stock price.

The Manufacture and Distribution of Recreational Diving Equipment Could Result In Product Liability Claims

We, like any other retailer, distributor and manufacturer of products that are designed for recreational sporting purposes, face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury. Such claims may include, among other things, that our products are designed and/or manufactured improperly or fail to include adequate instructions as to proper use and/or side effects, if any. We do not anticipate obtaining contractual indemnification from parties-supplying raw materials, manufacturing our products or marketing our products. In any event, any such indemnification if obtained will be limited by our terms and, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party. In the event that we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification, product liabilities relating to defective products could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial conditions, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

Not Applicable to Smaller Reporting Company.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as described in more detail below. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.

The specific weakness identified by our management was a lack of personnel with an appropriate level of SEC reporting and accounting experience and training in the application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) commensurate with our financial reporting requirements and business environment. The weakness is principally due to lack of working capital to retain qualified employees, which are integral to the Company’s process for timely disclosure and financial reporting. Furthermore, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, Mr. Robert Carmichael, lacks experience in U.S. GAAP and financial accounting. We rely extensively on outside service providers to comply with our financial reporting requirements. Since our inception we have relied on an outside consultant with experience in this area to assist us prepare our financial statements and disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Until such time as we have a chief executive officer and/or chief financial officer with the requisite expertise in U.S. GAAP, there are no assurances that the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not result in errors in our financial statements which could lead to a restatement of those financial statements. This deficiency resulted in the failure of the Company to timely file Form 8-K current reports relating to significant debenture conversions and conversion of related party employee compensation payable to restricted stock during the period covered by this report. These transactions are disclosed in the notes to the Company’s Financial Statements for the period covered by this report included herein.

To mitigate the chance for reoccurrence of this noted deficiency, as disclosed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, the Company is currently in the process of addressing its working capital shortfall whereby this would provide the needed funds to retain the legal, accounting, and external services required for timely disclosure and financial reporting.

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