−Removed: Each product will have focuses on battery power, portability, and ease of use.
−Removed: 2018, we announced that our crowdfunding Kickstarter program for the Nemo was successfully concluded, preselling approximately
−Removed: In the fourth quarter of 2019 we began shipping the Nemo and total revenue was $193,724 for the three months
−Removed: ending December 31, 2019.
−Removed: Currently, Nomad is in development in the functional prototype stage, and Neptune is a multiple
−Removed: diver system in the conceptual analysis stage.
−Removed: primary source of sales for BLU3 is online through its website, diveblu3.com.
−Removed: At the beginning of April 2020, BLU3 hired
−Removed: an advertising agency to manage its social media advertising and search engine optimization.
−Removed: As the return on investment
−Removed: becomes clearer, BLU3 plans to increasingly invest more of its budget into social media and pay per click advertising.
−Removed: BLU3 has also formed agreements with several influencers around the world to display the product in use through channels

−Removed: wholly owned subsidiaries do business under their respective trade names on both a wholesale and retail basis from our headquarters
−Removed: and manufacturing facility in Pompano Beach, Florida.
−Removed: March 2020 the Company announced that that its BLU3 subsidiary had submitted a technical proposal in response to the U.S.
−Removed: of Defense DIY Hack-A-Vent Innovation Challenge and other similar initiatives seeking innovative ways to rapidly produce ventilators
−Removed: during this time of critical demand due to COVID-19.
−Removed: The original challenge indicated that the top three submissions would be
−Removed: selected by a panel of experts and may be offered an opportunity to produce a functioning prototype.
−Removed: BLU3’s proposal included
−Removed: utilization of an existing BLU3 technology, Nemo, at the core of the ventilator solution, which the team has named BLU3 Vent.
−Removed: BLU3 Vent is the product of converting the Company’s existing, software driven, inspiration sensitive, battery powered,
−Removed: tankless diving system to perform the behaviors of mechanical ventilation.
−Removed: Management of the Company believes the BLU3 Vent is
−Removed: unique in its ability to rapidly be converted into a device that meets all of the Hack-a-Vent requirements.
−Removed: late March, 2020, the Company was notified that the BLU3 Vent design submission was selected as number five out of 172 entries
−Removed: in the Hack-a-Vent challenge following Northrup Grumman, Coridea, Navsea, and L3 Harris Corp.
−Removed: April 14, 2020, the Company received a purchase order from a third-party to mature the design into a functional ventilator prototype.
−Removed: BLU3 Vent emerged as the first in the Hack-a-Vent challenge to pass through preliminary testing at Uniformed Services University
−Removed: to confirm feasibility to treat an Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) inflicted patient.
−Removed: BLU3 Vent has been submitted
−Removed: initial documents for a review with the FDA at the direction and with the support of the Wright Brothers Institute (WBI) under
−Removed: an additional purchase order issued May 12, 2020.

−Removed: We believe that modern battery powered tankless diving holds greater appeal to families
−Removed: with children of diving age than does conventional SCUBA.
−Removed: The removal of barriers to entry into the sport of diving and the reduction
−Removed: of complicated and bulky SCUBA gear invites a broader range of the general public to participate more actively and enjoyably at
−Removed: their own pace and schedule.
−Removed: The design of our product also reduces the effort required for both its transport and continued use
−Removed: while exploring, cruising or traveling.
−Removed: We believe the PELETON™
−Removed: Hose System revolutionizes hose management for tankless
−Removed: diving by reducing the work required of any single diver by dispersing the load over the entire group.
−Removed: We use a single, larger
−Removed: diameter hose as a main downline with up to four individual hoses attached to it.
−Removed: This configuration not only reduces the weight
−Removed: and bulk of the hose required, but also reduces drag and entanglement by placing far less hose in the water.
−Removed: A line of deck-mounted
−Removed: systems is available for light-duty commercial applications that demand portability and performance.
−Removed: In addition to the gasoline-powered
−Removed: units and the variable speed battery powered units, a series of AC electric powered systems is also available for light to commercial

−Removed: When the dive is complete, the hose is automatically recoiled and stowed by the simple activation of a switch.
−Removed: to supplying air to divers, BIAS is useful for supporting air horns, inflating boat fenders/water toys, activating pneumatically
−Removed: operated doors, and more.
−Removed: The company strategy is to align the easy to install, complete kit packages with boat builders, dealer
−Removed: and end users through a vertically targeted sales and marketing program initiative starting summer of 2020.
−Removed: Diving Hose Kits:
−Removed: This product allows the use of a conventional SCUBA cylinder but does not require the diver to wear
−Removed: it by leveraging our unique QRS (quick release swivel) and hose assembly capability.
−Removed: The cylinder remains above the surface, in
−Removed: a kayak or boat, and a hose ranging from 20 feet to 150 feet allow the diver to explore the surrounding area.
−Removed: have also designed the Abdominal Aortic Tourniquet (AAT) which is designed for application in under one minute, and without specialized
−Removed: In 2010, our design team became aware of potential traditional tourniquet deficiencies and potentially avoidable fatalities
−Removed: in the most demanding situations.
−Removed: Field medic professionals approached our team for a potential solution.
−Removed: After working on the
−Removed: problem, we created an alternative tourniquet resulting in US patents 9,782,182 and 9,351,737.
−Removed: We believe our ATT will address
−Removed: the issue of how to treat an incompressible hemorrhage that cannot be tended to by use of a traditional tourniquet in the leg,
−Removed: groin or pelvic area.
−Removed: Our tourniquet is designed for quick and efficient application, restricting blood loss and possibly preventing
−Removed: death from wounds that were previously untreatable.
−Removed: We have not generated any sales of this product to date.
