Recent
Developments
On
July 1, 2026, the Company executed and consummated the transactions contemplated by an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset
Purchase Agreement”) by and among Sunrise Paddleboards LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Sunrise
Paddleboards”), Brian Galton, the sole member of Sunrise Paddleboards (the “LLC Member”), the Company and Live
Blue, Inc. (“LBI”). Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, LBI acquired substantially all of Sunrise
Paddleboards’ assets and assumed certain liabilities of the business associated with these assets. Sunrise Paddleboards is in
the business of providing paddleboarding and kayaking experiences, including paddleboard rental, tour, retail and training. In
consideration for the assets purchased, the Company issued 42,000,000 shares of its common stock to the LLC Member at a price of
$0.0044 per share, based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets on June 30, 2026.
In 2022, the Company applied for a tax credit for employees of its operating
subsidiaries that were retained on payroll during the Covid-19 pandemic under the Internal Revenue Service’s Employee Retention
Credit (“ERC”) program from 2020 to the second quarter of 2021. The Company engaged a third party service, Omega Accounting
(“Omega”), to make such application on the Company’s behalf for which Omega would be entitled to 15% of the ERC refund
received by the Company. It was unknown and uncertain at the time the application was made whether the Company would receive a refund.
Subsequently, in the first quarter of 2026, the Company received an ERC refund of $494,828.78 (which included interest), for which we
paid Omega $74,224 for its services. These funds were reported in miscellaneous income as they were not directly related to the Company’s
operations. The Company has not yet received a ERC refund for Submersible Systems, Inc. employees.

revenues increased 38.32 % for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of an increase in revenues of BLU3, SSI and LWA. There was a slight decrease in BTL
revenue for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase in SSI’s revenues was due to sales
to new customers attributable to the continued momentum of the Company’s newest product, HEED3, as well as increased demand
from international users for SSI’s Spare Air product line. The increase in LWA and SSI’s revenue was offset by a small
decrease in revenues in BTL. There were no sales recorded for LBI because its assets were sold in the third quarter of
2024.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2026, cost of net revenues was 53.6% as compared with the cost of net revenues of 67.% for the three

profit margin was 46.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to gross profit margin of 33.9% for the three months

a broadened customer base and to the continued momentum of the Company’s newest product, HEED3, as well as increased demand
from international users for SSI’s Spare Air product line. The increase in BTL increase in revenue is mainly attributable to
better terms to our dealers, and modification in our SeaLion unit. BLU3 sales increase is due to offering a better mix of products,
aggressive social media marketing. This increase was offset by a small decrease in revenues of LWA. There were no sales recorded for
LBI because its assets were sold in the third quarter of 2024.

cost of net revenues was 50.9% as compared with the cost of net revenues of 65.7% for the six months ended June 30,2025. The decrease

Payroll
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 29.8% and
increased 4.6%, respectively. The decrease reflects control of employee over-time hours and the increase is due to hiring of
additional personnel in the second quarter of 2026 .

fees, including legal and accounting and professional fees increased 14.5 % and 37.2%, for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2026, respectively, to the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase can be attributed to an increase in audit
fees and other professional fees.

17.6% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is due to selective participation in trade shows in the first

increased social media advertising for all subsidiaries during the busy summer.

Going
Concern
Our
unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly 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 twelve-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, 2025 includes an explanatory paragraph stating
the Company has net losses and an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
If the Company is unable to raise additional funds when needed, or does not have sufficient cash flows from sales, it may be required
to scale back, delay or cease operations, liquidate assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection.
We
have a history of losses, and an accumulated deficit of $17,319,669 as of June 30, 2026, which represents a significant improvement as
compared to prior years. We had a working capital surplus of $1,399,187 at June 30, 2026. However, continued losses and cash used in
operations in the past 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 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. 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 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 consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
There
were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s
operations, financial position or cash flows.
These
recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly
Report.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
