public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
which are included in our 2019 10-K for a broader discussion of our business and the risks inherent in such business.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BWMG and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor, BHP and BLU3. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash
and cash 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.
The Company maintains its cash balance with
various financial institutions. Balances in the institutions may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
limits. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has approximately $311,000 in excess of FDIC limits.
Accounts
receivable
Accounts
receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of all of our products to wholesale and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful
accounts are estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge. The allowances for doubtful accounts totaled
$15,999 and $17,784 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory
consists of the raw material, parts that make up the items that we manufacture, and finished goods. For the year ended
December 31, 2019, The Company recorded reserves for obsolete or slow moving inventory of approximately
$175,957. No additional reserve for obsolete or slowing moving inventory during the nine months ended September 30,
2020.

Revenue
Recognition
We
account for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts
with Customers” and all the related amendments. This standards core principal is that a company should recognize revenue
when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects
to receive.
We
recognize the sale of products under single performance obligations upon shipment of the units as that is when ownership is transferred
and our performance is completed. Revenues from repair and maintenance activities is recognized when the repairs are completed
and the units have been shipped.
Lease
Accounting
On
January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the
cumulative effect of initially applying the new lease standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The
comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the lease accounting standard in effect for those
periods.
The
lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. We elected
the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard that retained the lease classification and
initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. We did not reassess whether any contracts
entered into prior to adoption are leases or contain leases.
We
categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally
those leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired
under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. We did
not have any finance leases as of September 30, 2020. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment
and five to twenty years for property. We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of
our agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.
Lease
liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings
available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord
incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived
assets used in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful
life or the lease term.
When
we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased
asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification
and measurement of the lease. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating
expenses over the term of the lease.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the lease expense was approximately $98,000 and $98,000. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 cash paid for operating liabilities was approximately $95,000 and $92,000, respectively

Employee
Stock-Based Compensation:
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718
requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including
stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The Company has elected to adopt
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 and has a policy to account for forfeitures as they occur.
Non-Employee
Stock-Based Compensation:
Effective
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Based
Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-7”), which aligns
accounting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718, with
certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equity-based payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 505-50,
Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation –
Stock Based Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”),
which aligns accounting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic
718, with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equity-based payments to nonemployees under Subtopic
505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.
All
issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the
Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Non-employee equity-based payments are recorded
as an expense over the service period, as if the Company had paid cash for the services. At the end of each financial reporting
period, prior to vesting or prior to the completion of the services, the fair value of the equity-based payments will be re-measured
and the non-cash expense recognized during the period will be adjusted accordingly. Since the fair value of equity-based payments
granted to non-employees is subject to change in the future, the amount of the future expense will include fair value re-measurements
until the equity-based payments are fully vested or the service completed.
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 dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020,
175,134,884 of potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2019, 103,812,893 of potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

3. Going Concern
The
accompanying condensed 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 consolidated financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company
incurred a net loss of $654,200, of which $1,025,691 is non-cash stock related compensation. At September 30, 2020 the Company
has an accumulated deficit of $12,258,718. Despite a working capital surplus of approximately $770,000 at September 30, 2020,
the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to increase
revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The
failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. The condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note
4. Related Party Transactions
The
Company sells products to three entities owned by the brother of the Mr. Robert M. Carmichael, the Company’s President
and Chief Financial Officer. Terms of sale are no more favorable than those extended to any of the Company’s other customers
with similar sales volumes. These entities accounted for 24.1% and 23.8% of the net revenues for the three months ended September
30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and 20.9% and 24.7% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The
Company sells products to Brownie’s Global Logistics, LLC. (“BGL”) and 940 Associates, Inc. (“940 A”),
entities wholly-owned by Mr. Carmichael. Terms of sale are more favorable than those extended to BWMG’s regular customers,
but no more favorable than those extended to Brownie’s strategic partners. Accounts receivable from the combined entities
and Mr. Carmichael totaled $22,471, and $4,320 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The
Company had accounts payable to related parties of $136,399 and $263,544 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The balance payable at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was due to BGL.
The
Company has Exclusive License Agreements with 940 A to license the trademark “Brownies Third Lung”, “Tankfill”,
“Brownies Public Safety” and various other related trademarks as listed in the agreement. This Exclusive License Agreement
provides that the Company will pay 940 A 2.5% of gross revenues per quarter as a royalty. Total royalty expense for the three
months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 was $31,804 and $14,207, respectively, and for the nine months ended September
30, 2020 and 2019 total royalty expense was $54,569 and $38,324, respectively.
Effective
July 29, 2019 the Company agreed to pay the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, including Mr. Carmichael,

31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has accrued $49,500 in Board of Directors’ fees. On August 21, 2020 the Company’s
Board of Directors approved the continuation of the 2019 Board compensation policy for the year ending December 31, 2020. As of
September 30, 2020, the Company had accrued an additional $28,000 in Board of Directors’ fees.

5. COVID-19 Pandemic
On
March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In response to this declaration
and the rapid spread of COVID-19 within the United States, federal, state and local governments throughout the country have imposed
varying degrees of restrictions on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread
of the illness. These measures have begun to have a significant adverse impact upon many sectors of the economy, including retail
commerce.
11
In
response to these measures, the “stay at home” order issued in April 2020 by the Governor of the State of Florida
where our business is located, and for the protection of our employees and customers, we temporarily reduced non-essential staffing
at our corporate office and altered work schedules at our manufacturing and warehouse facilities. In addition, some of our senior
management and our office personnel began working remotely and maintaining full capabilities to serve our customers. Earlier,
in mid-March 2020 we had taken steps to increase production to build up our finished goods inventory as well as purchasing additional
raw material inventory items thereby allowing us to maintain production if supply chain interruptions were to happen. During the
beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2020 we experienced an impact on our sales to our brick and mortar customers as many
of the retail dealer stores temporarily closed. In response, we ramped up our direct to consumer engagement. On May 4, 2020 the
Florida “stay at home” order was lifted and the phased reopening of the State of Florida began. We have resumed all
of our historic operations, and all personnel have returned to full time work at our corporate office and manufacturing and warehouse
facilities. In addition, our historic attendance at boat shows and similar marketing events has been an important part of our
marketing and sales strategy. As we do not expect that all of those type of events will be held in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic, we have migrated our marketing focus to online marketing in an effort to maintain product visibility. Due to our sales
and marketing efforts, the Company’s sales began to increase in the third quarter of 2020. The sales
for the Third Quarter 2020 increased by 98.6% as compared to the Third Quarter 2019.
While
we are not able to estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and future results of operations,
depending on the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, the extent to which the coronavirus will impact our results and financial
condition, however, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information
that may emerge and the actions to contain and treat its impacts, among others.

PPP
Loan
On
May 12, 2020, we received an unsecured loan from Bank United in the principal amount of $159,600 (the “SBA Loan”),
under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief,
and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The intent and
purpose of the PPP is to support companies, during the COVID-19 pandemic, by providing funds for certain specified business expenses,
with a focus on payroll. As a qualifying business as defined by the SBA, we used the proceeds from this loan to primarily help
maintain our payroll and cover our rent and utilities as we navigated our business through the lockdowns associated with the COVID-19
pandemic until our return to normal operations earlier in 2020.
The
term of the note is two years, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the note. The
SBA Loan carries a fixed interest rate of one percent per year, and a monthly payment of $8,983, with the first payment due seven
months from the date of initial cash receipt. Under the CARES Act and the PPP, certain amounts of loans made under the PPP may
be forgiven if the recipients use the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll costs and certain rent or utility
costs, and meet other requirements regarding, among other things, the maintenance of employment and compensation levels. We used
the SBA Loan for qualifying expenses and have applied for forgiveness of the SBA Loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES
Act. The loan balance as of September 30, 2020 was $159,600.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
BWMG,
through its wholly owned subsidiaries, designs, tests, and manufactures tankless dive systems, yacht-based SCUBA air compressor
and nitrox generation fill systems and acts as the exclusive distributor for North and South America for Lenhardt & Wagner
GmbH (“L&W”) compressors in the high-pressure breathing air and industrial gas markets. Our wholly owned subsidiaries
and related product lines are as follows:
[
]
Legacy
SSA Products
This
segment represents our surface supplied air (SSA) product line. We began our business
making hookah diving systems in the late 1960s. Our Brownie’s Third Lung hookah
systems have long been a dominant figure in gasoline powered, high-performance, and feature
rich hookah systems. Taking full advantage of the proprietary compressor system, a complete
series of traditional “fixed speed” electric compressors were developed for
the built-in-boat market in 2005. After years of inventing, testing and development,
in 2010 we introduced our variable-speed battery powered hookah system which provides
divers with gasoline-free all day shallow diving experiences. We believe that these systems
provide performance and runtimes as great as 300% better than the best devices previously
on the market by utilizing a variable speed technology that controls battery consumption
based on diver demand.
The
SSA segment has experienced growth in units sold for the first nine months of 2020 as compared to 2019, as we work
to expand our dealer network and the breadth of product that each of the dealers provide. We believe the COVID-19
pandemic has forced the consumer to re-evaluate recreation as a family, and gravitate to activities that can be pursued
together and safely.
We
will be focusing on breaking the seasonality curve currently experienced by this segment and will begin aggressive marketing
campaigns in geographic regions that experience diving season when the US market is slowing down due to weather.
Additionally,
we intend to pursue the boat builder market to offer our SSA systems as an option on newly built boats, expanding our
market beyond the traditional consumer markets for our products.
High
Pressure Gas Systems
Through
this segment, we design, manufacture, sell and install SCUBA tank fill systems for on-board
yacht use under the brand “Yacht-Pro™”. Our systems provide complete
diving packages and dive training solutions for yachts, includes Nitrox systems which
allow yacht owners to fill tanks with oxygen enriched air on board. The Yacht-Pro™
compressor systems offer a completely marine-prepared, VFD (variable frequency drive)-driven,
automated alternative to other compressors on the market. We also design complete dive
lockers, mixed gas production and distribution systems, and the unique Nitrox Maker™.
Nitrox is oxygen-enriched air, which reduces the effects of nitrogen on divers; it is
the industry standard for dive professionals. The Nitrox Maker™ continuously generates
the oxygen rich breathing gas directly from low-pressure air; no stored oxygen or other
gases are required onboard.
As
we head into 2021, this segment of our business will look to expand its customer base beyond that of the diving community.
We believe the product lines from Lenhardt & Wagner GmbH, will allow LW Americas to put a high quality, competitive
products into the first responder and industrial market that utilize compressed air for many applications. Our goal will
be to build a network of jobbers, dealers, installers and high-pressure compressor distributors throughout the territory
by leveraging our know-how, brand awareness, complimentary products and creating sustainable distribution and core
product OEM integration relationships.
[ ]
Ultra
Dive Systems
In
the continued expansion of our business, in December 2017, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary
BLU3, to develop and market a next generation electric surface supplied air diving systems
electric shallow dive system that is completely portable to the user. The BLU3 line currently
consists of three models targeting specific performance levels and price points –
NEMO, NOMAD and NEPTUNE. In the fourth quarter of 2019 we began shipping the NEMO for
the first nine months of 2020 revenues from the sale of the NEMO totaled roughly $526,000.
Currently,
NOMAD nearing the end of the design phase and expected to be in full production in the Spring, 2021. This product will
expand the customers dive capability to up to 30 feet and continue to drive the vertical integration of the diving experience.

The
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on our Company
On
March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In response to this declaration
and the rapid spread of COVID-19 within the United States, federal, state and local governments throughout the country have imposed
varying degrees of restrictions on social and commercial activity to promote social distancing in an effort to slow the spread
of the illness. We are not able to estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and future
results of operations will depend on the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.
In
response to these measures, the “stay at home” order issued in April 2020 by the Governor of the State of Florida
where our business is located, and for the protection of our employees and customers, we temporarily reduced non-essential staffing
at our corporate office and altered work schedules at our manufacturing and warehouse facilities. In addition, some of our senior
management and our office personnel began working remotely and maintaining full capabilities to serve our customers. Earlier,
in mid-March 2020 we had taken steps to increase production to build up our finished goods inventory as well as purchasing additional
raw material inventory items thereby allowing us to maintain production if supply chain interruptions were to happen. During the
beginning of the second quarter of fiscal 2020 we experienced an impact on our sales to our brick and mortar customers as many
of the retail dealer stores temporarily closed. In response, we ramped up our direct to consumer engagement. On May 4, 2020 the
Florida “stay at home” order was lifted and the phased reopening of the State of Florida began. We have resumed all
of our historic operations, and all personnel have returned to full time work at our corporate office and manufacturing and warehouse
facilities. In addition, our historic attendance at boat shows and similar marketing events has been an important part of our
marketing and sales strategy. As we do not expect that all of those type of events will be held in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic, we have migrated our marketing focus to online marketing in an effort to maintain product visibility. Due to our sales
and marketing efforts, the sales started to ramp up in the third quarter of 2020. The sales in the third quarter of 2020 increased
by 98.69% as compared to comparable quarter.
While
we are not able to estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and future results of operations,
depending on the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, the extent to which the coronavirus will impact our results and financial
condition, however, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information
that may emerge and the actions to contain and treat its impacts, among others.
On May 12, 2020, we received the SBA Loan
in the principal amount of $159,600. As a qualifying business as defined by the SBA, we are using the proceeds from this loan
to primarily help maintain our payroll as we navigate our business with a focus on returning to normal operations. This loan is
further discussed in Note 6 to our notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing earlier in this report.
Results
of Operations
Net
Revenues, Costs of Net Revenues and Gross Profit
Overall, our net revenues increased 98.6%
and 63.2% in the Third Quarter 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from the comparable periods in 2019. These increases
included an increase of 77.9% and 15.3%, respectively, in net revenues from sales to third parties, and an increase
of 116.5% and 41.0%, respectively, in net revenues from sales to related parties. Approximately 6.7% and 15.8%, respectively,
of our total net revenues for the Third Quarter 2020 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are attributable to revenues
from a contract for our BLU3 Vent. As described later in this section, we are unable to predict if we will generate similar revenues
during the balance of 2020 or in to 2021 as the BLU3 Vent project is currently suspended.
21
Our
total cost of net revenues in the Third Quarter 2020 was 59.4% of our total net revenues as compared to 73.0% in Third Quarter
of 2019, and our total cost of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 64.7% of our total net revenues as
compared to 76.7% in comparable period of 2019. Included in our total cost of net revenues are royalty expenses we pay to Mr.
Carmichael which increased 123.9% in the Third Quarter 2020 from the Third Quarter 2019, and increased 42.4% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 from the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Also included in the total cost of net revenue are royalties
paid pursuant to our agreement with STS. These royalties accounted for approximately 1% of total net revenue for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2020 respectively. No royalties were paid during the first nine months of 2019.
We reported an overall gross profit
margin of 40.7% and 35.3%, respectively, in the Third Quarter 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared
to 27.0% and 23.3%, respectively, in the comparable periods in 2019. The Legacy SSA product lines showed an increase
in direct to consumer sales combined with a restructure of the dealer sales model structure increasing margin in this
segment. The High Pressure Gas Systems margins show an increase for the nine months ending September 30, 2020 primarily due
to superior margins during the first quarter of 2020 from increasing direct to consumer volume that supported the overall
margins for the full period. In contrast, margins for the Third Quarter 2020 in the High Pressure Gas System were lower than
the same period in the prior year as the revenue decline did not support the fixed costs that exist in the cost of sales,
causing the overall margin to be reduced. Margin related to the Ultra-Portable Tankless dive segment helped contribute to
the increased margin for the three months ending September 30, 2020. However, with reduced margins during the first six
months of 2020, this segment weighed down the consolidated Company performance as it worked through sales and
production inefficiencies.
Beginning
with the Third Quarter 2019 we began reporting our net revenues, costs of net revenues and gross profit in three segments based
upon these product lines. The following tables provides net revenues, total costs of net revenues, and gross profit margins for
our segments for the periods presented.

Legacy
SSA Products segment
The
increase in net revenues from this segment for the Third Quarter 2020 as compared to the Third Quarter 2019 can be attributed
to increased demand at the dealer level combined with the results from the marketing program which targeted consumers and guided
them to our dealer network. Additionally, the Company improved its dealer incentives via extended payment terms up to 120 days
to expand the product offering within their stores. For the nine months ending September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period
in 2019, net revenues showed an increase of 24.4%.
Our
costs of revenues as a percentage of net revenues in this segment continued to decrease in the Third Quarter 2020 as compared
to the Third Quarter 2019. The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenue is a result of better margins coming
from an increase in direct to consumer sales, combined with the restructuring of the dealer programs which increased the margin
for the Company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 the cost of net revenue was reduced to 59.4% as compared to 78.0%
for the same period in 2019. This continued margin improvement is a result of the restructuring of the dealer program along with
the direct to consumer sales during the first nine months of 2020.
High
Pressure Gas Systems segment
Sales
of high-pressure breathing air compressors remained suppressed through the Third Quarter 2020, primarily due to continuing effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tourism remained restricted through most of the Caribbean, Central and South America. The majority of
our dive resort and dive operator customers’ businesses continued to be severely impacted by the pandemic, and have not
committed to equipment purchases during their recovery. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 net revenues in this segment
declined by 25.2% as compared to the same period in 2019. The reduction for the nine month period was higher than that of the
six month ending June 30, 2020 because this segment was continuing the momentum from 2019 into the first two months of 2020.This
segment continued to decline into the third quarter of 2020. However, we believe that the acceptance of the L&W
brand is growing steadily and we expect sales to increase as the customers within this market segment recover from the pandemic.
Our
costs of revenues as a percentage of net revenues in this segment increased to 57.1% during the Third Quarter 2020 as compared
to 37.4% during the Third Quarter 2019. This can be attributed to the fixed cost elements of cost of revenue that do not adjust
as revenue declines. The cost of revenue as a percentage of net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was 65.4%
as compared to 71.9% for the same period in 2019. This is a result of improved margins during the first quarter 2020 as the customer
base shifted from the wholesale model to the direct to customer model along with the adjustment to the reduction in fixed costs
within cost of revenue in correlation with the unexpected revenue decrease that occurred during the second and third quarters
of 2020.
Ultra
Portable Tankless Dive Systems
We started building and shipping our Ultra
Portable Tankless Dive Systems (NEMO) in the Third Quarter 2019. During the Third Quarter 2020, the sales channel was still
developing in our direct to consumer channels. Revenue for the NEMO was approximately $207,000 for the Third Quarter
2020 and $508,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, BLU3 received a purchase
order from a third-party to mature the design of the NEMO into a functional ventilator prototype, to potentially help with
the ventilator shortage that the country was facing due to the COVID–19 pandemic. BLU3 Vent emerged as the first in the
Hack-a-Vent challenge to pass through preliminary testing at Uniformed Services University to confirm feasibility to treat an
ARDS inflicted patient. BLU3 Vent has been submitted initial documents for a review with the FDA at the direction and with the
support of the Wright Brothers Institute (WBI) under an additional purchase order issued May 12, 2020. Revenue from this contract
totaled $112,752 for the Third Quarter 2020 and $572,584 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Currently, this project
is suspended as the urgent demand for emergency use ventilators has declined. Accordingly, the Company is unable to predict
if it will report revenues from the sales of the BLU3 Vent project during the balance of 2020 or in 2021. The Company’s
team is working with WBI to be prepared in case a major demand for ventilators returns.
23
Our
cost of revenue from this segment as percentage of net revenues in the Third Quarter 2020 may not be reflective of our margins
on this segment in future periods. The COVID-19 pandemic, the BLU3 Vent project, along with the inefficiencies in production
of a new product line, have contributed to the current level of cost of sales.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and research and development
costs, and are reported on a consolidated basis for our operating segments. Overall, our operating expenses increased 13.5% for
the Third Quarter 2020 from the Third Quarter 2019, and 43.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from the nine months
ended September 30, 2019.
SG&A increased 10.8% for Third Quarter
2020 from the Third Quarter 2019, and 45.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from the nine months ended September
30, 2019. These increases are primarily attributable to non-cash compensation expenses totaling approximately $28,221 and non-cash
professional fees of approximately $224,395 that were paid in stock and/or options during the Third Quarter 2020.
Research
and development costs increased 128%, or approximately $16,173, for the Third Quarter 2020 from the comparable period in 2019,
and increased 10.4%, or approximately $8,017, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2019. These increase for the Third Quarter 2020 related to expenses for the next generation of the BLU3 NEMO.
The overall increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is related to an increase in R&D costs associated with
the Ultra-Portable Tankless Dive Systems segment and the modifications being made to the SEA LION battery powered dive system.
Total
Other Expense
Total other expense increased 21.6% and 153.1%,
respectively, in the Third Quarter 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from the comparable periods in 2019. The
other expense is comprised of interest expense on the convertible debentures and notes payable. These increases are primarily
attributable the interest expense on the Marlin Note obtained in the Third Quarter 2019.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Liquidity
is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. The following table summarized total current
assets, total current liabilities and working capital (deficit) at September 30, 2020 (unaudited) as compared to December 31,
2019.

inventory, net. The decrease in our total current liabilities principally reflect decreases in accounts payable, accounts payable
–related parties, and notes payable, offset by the increase in current maturities of long term debt.

Net
cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was due to the net loss of approximately $654,200
which is primarily attributable to the increase in non-cash expenses of approximately $1,025,700. The non-cash expense for the
nine months ended September 30, 2020 is attributable to the incentive bonus shares issued to Mr. Carmichael and employees, shares
issued for services to consultants and stock-based compensation related to the options issued. The cash used is also the result
of increases in current assets, including, inventory, net, and prepaid expenses that utilized approximately $175,300 and the reduction
of current liabilities to include accounts payable, accounts payable – related party, other liabilities, and customer deposits,
utilizing approximately $390,200.
Net cash provided by financing activities
in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 reflects proceeds from the sale of common stock via an offering as well as the warrants
exercised, and the proceeds from payroll protection program loan, offset by the repayments of notes payable and Marlin
Note.
Going
Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans
As
set forth in Note 3 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in this report were prepared assuming
we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business for the 12-month period following the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The report
of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2019 contained a going concern qualification.
We
have a history of losses, and an accumulated deficit of $12,258,718 as of September 30, 2020. Despite a working capital surplus
of $770,236 at September 30, 2020, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s
ability to continue to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital
to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to
the Company. As set forth in Note 6 appearing earlier in this report, we owe third parties approximately $110,000 under the terms
of convertible debentures, of which a $10,000 convertible debenture is in default and the remaining $100,000 of convertible debentures
become due in December 2020. In addition, we have an additional $65,000 in loans which are due on demand. We are continuing to
engage in discussions with potential sources for additional capital, however, our ability to raise capital is somewhat limited
based upon our revenue levels, net losses and limited market for our common stock. If we fail to raise additional funds when needed,
or if we do not have sufficient cash flows from operations, we may be required to scale back or cease certain of our operations.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related
to revenue recognition, valuation of inventory, allowance for doubtful accounts, and equity based transactions. We also have other
key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our
results, which are described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing earlier in this
report.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require
adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. These recent
accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to our notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing
earlier in this report.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the
SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation our Chief Executive Officer
and our Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2020.
Based upon that evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report as a result of the continuing
material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A. of our 2019 10-K.
In August 2020 we engaged a firm to assist
us in the preparation of our financial statements and our periodic reports to be filed with the SEC, and in November 2020 we
hired the principal of that firm to serve as our Chief Executive Officer as described earlier in this report. We do not, however,
expect that the weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we remediate the material weaknesses
in our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 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.
