TABLE OF CONTENTS
Part I: Financial
Information
Statements
in this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report may be “forward-looking
statements.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs,
expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements
relating to our future activities or other future events or
conditions. These statements are based on our current expectations,
estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on
assumptions made by our management. These assumptions are not
guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties
and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed
or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous
factors, including those risks discussed in this Form 10-Q
Quarterly Report, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other
documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
In
addition, such statements could be affected by risks and
uncertainties related to our financial condition, factors that
affect our industry, market and customer acceptance, changes in
technology, fluctuations in our quarterly results, our ability to
continue and manage our growth, liquidity and other capital
resource issues, compliance with government regulations and
permits, agreements with third parties to conduct operations,
competition, fulfillment of contractual obligations by other
parties and general economic conditions. Any forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we
do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking
statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this
Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, except as required by Federal
Securities law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(Unaudited) |
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of
Seafarer Exploration Corp. (“Seafarer” or the “Company”) are
unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods
presented. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the
Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for
interim financial information.
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements
and footnotes included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 3, 2020. The
results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30,
2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2020 or for any
future period.
NOTE
1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Seafarer
Exploration Corp., was incorporated on May 28, 2003 in the State of
Delaware.
The
principal business of the Company is to engage in the
archaeologically-sensitive exploration, documentation, recovery,
and conservation of historic shipwrecks with the objective of
exploring and discovering Colonial-era shipwrecks for future
generations to be able to appreciate and understand.
In
March of 2014, Seafarer entered into a partnership and with Marine
Archaeology Partners, LLC (“MAP”), with the formation of Seafarer’s
Quest, LLC for the purpose of exploring a shipwreck site off of
Melbourne Beach, Florida. Under the partnership with MAP, Seafarer
is the designated manager of Seafarer’s Quest, LLC.
The
Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Blockchain LogisTech, LLC, was
formed on April 4, 2018 and began operations in 2019. Blockchain
LogisTech, LLC provides customer referrals to a blockchain related
software services company.
Florida Division of Historical Resources
Agreements/Permits
The
Company successfully renewed its permits for both Areas 1 and 2 for
the Melbourne Beach site. The Area 2 permit was renewed on January
14, 2019 for a period of three years. The Area 1 permit was renewed
on March 1, 2019 for a period of three years.
Federal Admiralty Judgement
As
previously noted on its form 8-K filed on November 22, 2017,
Seafarer was granted, through the United States District Court for
the Southern District of Florida, a final judgment for its federal
admiralty claim on the Juno Beach shipwreck site.
Blockchain Software Services Referral Agreement
Blockchain
LogisTech, LLC, has a strategic partnership to provide referrals to
a blockchain software services provider and receive referral fees
when the referrals lead to closed business for the blockchain
software services company. Blockchain LogisTech, LLC also has a
reseller agreement with a separate company that sells a blockchain
related security product.
NOTE
2 – GOING CONCERN
These
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to
realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal
course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has
incurred net losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based
on its historical rate of expenditures, the Company expects to
expend its available cash in less than one month from November 16,
2020. Management’s plans include raising capital through the equity
markets to fund operations and, eventually, the generation of
revenue through its business. The Company does not expect to
generate any significant revenues for the foreseeable future. At
September 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$1,274,201. The Company is in immediate need of further working
capital and is seeking options, with respect to financing, in the
form of debt, equity or a combination thereof.
Failure
to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could
result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. The
Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future
issuances of common stock is unknown. Additionally, even if the
Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating
expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances
that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop to a
level where it will generate profits and cash flows from
operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; however, the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. These condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery
of the recorded assets or the classifications of the liabilities
that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
Covid-19
Disclosure
The
COVID-19 global pandemic may seriously negatively affect the
Company’s operations and business. It is possible that this ongoing
global pandemic may cause the Company to have to significantly
delay or suspend its operations, which would likely result in a
material adverse impact on its business and financial
positions.
Furthermore,
the Company may be unable to raise sufficient capital due to
COVID-19’s effects on the general economy and the capital markets.
If the Company is not able to obtain financing due to COVID-19,
then it is highly likely that it will be forced to cease
operations. Smaller companies such as Seafarer, who lack
significant revenues, earnings and cash flows as well as who lack
diversified business operations are particularly vulnerable to
having to potentially cease operations due to the effects of
COVID-19. If the Company were to be unable to raise capital and
cease its operations then it would be highly likely that the
Company would not survive and lenders and investors would suffer a
complete loss of all capital loaned to or invested in the
Company.
NOTE
3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This
summary of significant accounting policies of Seafarer is presented
to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company’s
management, who are responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include
the accounts of the Company and Blockchain LogisTech, LLC, which is
a wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
There were no cash equivalents at September 30, 2020 and December
31, 2019. Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash
deposits.
Research
and Development Expenses
Expenditures
for research and development are expensed as incurred. The Company
incurred research and development expenses of $373,769 and $327,935
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
and $95,460 and $210,134 respectively, for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Revenue
Recognition
Effective
January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
(“ASC 606”) and all the related amendments. The Company elected to
adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective method. The
adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
The
core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers
in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC
606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and,
in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be
required within the revenue recognition process than required under
GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract,
estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the
transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each
separate performance obligation.
The
Company recognizes revenue from the referrals that Blockchain
LogisTech, LLC has made to a provider of software services when
payment for a referral is received from the provider of software
services. The Company also has a sales referral agreement with a
limited liability company that provides product/system development
services. The Company receives referral fees when payment is
received from the provider of the product/system development
services. To date service revenue in the segment footnote from its
core historic and shipwreck recovery operations and at this point
in time is unable to determine how revenue will be recognized due
to a lack of visibility as to how the Company will be compensated
for its services.
Earnings
Per Share
The
Company has adopted FASB ASC 260-10 which provides for calculation
of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per
share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income
or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per
share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share
in the earnings of an entity.
The
potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were excluded from the
dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive
due to the net loss. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, there were
654,492,154 and 545,722,872 shares of common stock underlying
our outstanding convertible notes payable and warrants,
respectively.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash
and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, notes payable
and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the
short maturity of these instruments.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is
computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the respective assets. During the year ended December 31,
2019, the Company purchased a vessel with an estimated useful life
of ten years. As of September 30, 2020, this is the only capital
asset owned by the Company.
Depreciation
expense was $15,045 and $0 respectively, for nine month periods
ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and $5,015 and $0 respectively,
for three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and
2019.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
In
accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company, on a regular basis,
reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence
of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that
suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount
of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted
cash flows, before interest, from the use of the asset. In the
event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by
which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair
value is determined based on appraised value of the assets or the
anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset, discounted at a
rate commensurate with the risk involved. There were no impairment
charges recorded during the nine month periods ended September 30,
2020 and 2019.
Use
of Estimates
The
process of preparing consolidated financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions
regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and
expenses. Significant estimates for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2020 and 2019 include useful life of property and
equipment, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and
fair value of non cash equity transactions.
Segment
Information
Beginning
in 2019, Seafarer’s wholly owned subsidiary, Blockchain LogisTech,
LLC began operations, generated revenue and incurred expenses. The
business of Blockchain LogisTech, LLC has no relation to the
Company’s shipwreck exploration and recovery operations other than
common ownership. As such, the Company concluded that the
operations of Blockchain LogisTech, LLC and Seafarer were separate
reportable segments (see Note 10).
Convertible
Notes Payable
The
Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and
conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes
which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the
provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for
convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. ASC
470-10 addresses classification determination for specific
obligations, such as short-term obligations expected to be
refinanced on a long-term basis, due-on-demand loan arrangements,
callable debt, sales of future revenue, increasing rate debt, debt
that includes covenants, revolving credit agreements subject to
lock-box arrangements and subjective acceleration clauses, and
indexed debt. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to
convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options
based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying
common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the
effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts
under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related
debt.
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company applies the fair value method of FASB ASC 718, “Share
Based Payment”, in accounting for its stock-based compensation.
The standard states that compensation cost is measured at the grant
date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over
the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The
Company values stock-based compensation at the market price for the
Company’s common stock and other pertinent factors at the grant
date.
Fully
vested and non-forfeitable shares issued prior to the services
being performed are classified as prepaid expenses.
Leases
In
February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires
lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most
operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that
lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in
accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606.
On
January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the
package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the
effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the
following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain
leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For
contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the
inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract
is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1)
whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified
asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially
all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the
period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the
asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract
to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to
determine the lease payments.
Operating
lease right of use (“ROU”) assets represents the right to use the
leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are
recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease
payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases
do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental
borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption
date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease
expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term and is presented on the statements of
operations.
As
permitted under the new guidance, the Company has made an
accounting policy election not to apply the recognition provisions
of the new guidance to short term leases (leases with a lease term
of twelve months or less that do not include an option to purchase
the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to
exercise); instead, the Company will recognize the lease payments
for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
All
other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, did not
or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the
Company’s present or future consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE
4 – OPERATING LEASE AND RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE
LIABILITIES
Operating
lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the
present value of the future lease payments at the lease
commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present
value is the incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 6%, as the
interest rate implicit in most of the Company’s leases are not
readily determinable. Operating lease expense is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. During the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company
recorded $4,601 and $3,945 and $4,601 and $11,835, respectively, as
operating lease expense, which is included in rent expense on the
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The
Company leases 823 square feet of office space located at 14497
North Dale Mabry Highway, Suite 209-N, Tampa, Florida 33618. The
Company entered into an amended lease agreement commencing on July
1, 2020 through July 31, 2023 with base month rents of $1,475 from
July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, $1,519 from July 1, 2021 to June 30,
2022, $1,564 from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 and $1,611 from
July 1, 2023 to July 31, 2023. Under the terms of the lease there
may be additional fees charged above the base monthly rental
fee.
In
adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”), the Company
has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it
not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about
lease identification, lease classification and initial direct
costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the
practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not
applicable to the Company. As permitted under the new guidance, the
Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the
recognition provisions of the new guidance to short term leases
(leases with a lease term of twelve months or less that do not
include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee
is reasonably certain to exercise); instead, the Company will
recognize the lease payments for short term leases on a
straight-line basis over the lease term. On January 1, 2019, upon
adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets
and lease liabilities of $22,575. On July 1, 2020, upon renewal of
the lease, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease
liability of $48,957.

The
Company also has an operating lease for a house located in Palm
Bay, Florida that it leases on a month-to-month basis for $1,300
per month. The Company uses the house to store equipment and gear
and to provide temporary work-related living quarters for its
divers, personnel, consultants and independent contractors involved
in its exploration and recovery operations. The Company also pays a
rental fee for a space in a park on an as needed basis.
NOTE
5 – INVESTMENT IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS, INC.
The
Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Probability
and Statistics, Inc. (“P&S”), a privately held corporation, in
August of 2018.
Under
the terms of the share exchange agreement, the Company agreed to
issue 60,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock to P&S
in exchange for 10,000 common shares of P&S, or a 1% interest.
All shares issued by both parties under the agreement have all
rights and entitlements as the common stock of every other
shareholder of such share class.
The
investment in P&S was valued at $78,000 based on fair value of
the Company’s shares issued to P&S on the date of the share
exchange agreement and is being accounted for as a cost method
investment. The Company received dividends from P&S during the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 of $3,000,
which have been presented as dividend income on the condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
In
August of 2020 the Company and P&S entered into a new agreement
under which the Company and P&S agreed to wind down their
relationship, with Seafarer agreeing to exchange 10,000 common
shares of P&S for 60,000,000 shares of its common stock,
effectively reversing the original transaction. The actual exchange
of shares had not yet occurred at September 30, 2020.
The
Company has an active agreement with P&S to receive referral
fees. Under the terms of the agreement, P&S has agreed to pay a
7% referral fee to the Company when P&S receives cash flows
from providing blockchain software services to entities that were
referred by the Company. The agreement is ongoing and has no
expiration date. During the nine month periods ended September 30,
2020 and 2019 P&S paid a total of $4,200 and $12,600,
respectively, of referral fees to the Company. These amounts are
included in services income in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations.

outstanding to its CEO in the amount of $1,500. The loan has a 2%
annual rate of interest and an option to convert the loan into
restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at
$0.0005.
Convertible
Notes Payable and Notes Payable, in Default
The
Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to
refinance its convertible notes payable and notes payable that are
currently in default. If the Company is unable to obtain additional
capital, such lenders may file suit, including suit to foreclose on
the assets held as collateral for the obligations arising under the
secured notes. If any of the lenders file suit to foreclose on the
assets held as collateral, then the Company may be forced to
significantly scale back or cease its operations, which would more
than likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been
invested in or borrowed by the Company. The fact that the Company
is in default of several promissory notes held by various lenders
makes investing in the Company or providing any loans to the
Company extremely risky with a very high potential for a complete
loss of capital.
The
convertible notes that have been issued by the Company are
convertible at the lender’s option. These convertible notes
represent significant potential dilution to the Company’s current
shareholders as the convertible price of these notes is generally
lower than the current market price of the Company’s shares. As
such, when these notes are converted into shares of the Company’s
common stock, there is typically a highly dilutive effect on
current shareholders and it is very possible that such dilution may
significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Company’s
common stock.

Series
A Preferred Stock
At
September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had seven
shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding. Each
share of Series A preferred stock has the right to convert into
214,289 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Series
B Preferred Stock
On February
10, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company under the authority
granted under Article V of the Articles of Incorporation, defined
and created a new preferred series of shares from the 50,000,000
authorized preferred shares. Pursuant to Article V, the Board of
Directors has the power to designate such shares and all powers and
matters concerning such shares. Such share class shall be
designated Preferred Class B. The preferred class was created for
60 Preferred Class B shares. Such shares each have a voting power
equal to one percent of the outstanding shares issued (totaling
60%) at the time of any vote action as necessary for share votes
under Florida law, with or without a shareholder meeting. Such
shares are non-convertible to common stock of the Company and are
not considered as convertible under any accounting measure. Such
shares shall only be held by the Board of Directors as a Corporate
body, and shall not be placed into any individual name. Such shares
were considered issued at the time of this resolution’s adoption,
and do not require a stock certificate to exist, unless selected to
do so by the Board for representational purposes only. Such shares
are considered for voting as a whole amount, and shall be voted for
any matter by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. Such
shares shall not be divisible among the Board members, and shall be
voted as a whole either for or against such a vote upon the vote of
the majority of the Board of Directors. In the event that there is
any vote taken which results in a tie of a vote of the Board of
Directors, the vote of the Chairman of the Board shall control the
voting of such shares. Such shares are not transferable except in
the case of a change of control of the Corporation when such shares
shall continue to be held by the Board of Directors. Such shares
have the authority to vote for all matters that require a share
vote under Florida law and the Articles of
Incorporation.

NOTE 8 –
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Agreement to Explore a Shipwreck Site Located off of Melbourne
Beach, Florida
In
March of 2014, Seafarer entered into a partnership and with Marine
Archaeology Partners, LLC (“MAP”), with the formation of Seafarer’s
Quest, LLC for the purpose of exploring a shipwreck site off of
Melbourne Beach, Florida. Seafarer owns 50% of Seafarer’s Quest,
LLC and is handling the operations on behalf of Seafarer’s Quest.
To date there has been no significant financial activity in
Seafarer’s Quest. Under the partnership with MAP, Seafarer is the
designated manager of Seafarer’s Quest, LLC and is responsible for
the costs of permitting, exploration and recovery. Seafarer is
entitled to receive 80% and MAP is entitled to receive 20% of
artifacts and treasure recovered from the site after the State of
Florida receives its share, which is anticipated to be 20% under
any future recovery permits. The permits with the State of Florida
for two areas on the site, designated as Areas 1 and 2, were
renewed in 2019 for an additional 3 years. There are currently no
recovery permits for the site that have been applied for or issued
as of the date of this filing It will be necessary to be granted a
recovery permit in order to recover any artifacts and treasure that
may potentially be located on the site. The required, affiliated
environmental permits were previously issued in the name of a
partner that is no longer active, the Company is in the process of
working with the various State of Florida agencies involved to
update and consolidate all of the permits solely under the
Company’s name. The State of Florida Bureau of Archeological
Research (“FBAR”) had temporarily ordered the Company not to
disturb the bottom while the changes and updates to the Company’s
permits were in process.

NOTE
10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
Seafarer’s
wholly owned subsidiary Blockchain LogisTech, LLC began operations
in 2019 by providing referrals to P&S (please see Note 5 -
Investment in Probability and Statistics, Inc.) in exchange for
referral fees for closed business.
Due
to Blockchain LogisTech, LLC starting operations which have no
relation to the Company’s shipwreck and exploration recovery
business, the Company evaluated this business and its impact upon
the existing corporate structure. The Company has determined that
Blockchain LogisTech, LLC’s and Seafarer Exploration Corp. operate
as separate segments of the business. As such, the Company has
presented the income (loss) from operations during the nine month
period ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 incurred by the two
separate segments below.
Substantially
all of the assets held by the Company are for its shipwreck
exploration and recovery business. All proceeds received from sales
of common stock and issuance of convertible notes payable and notes
payable are used in the shipwreck and exploration recovery
business.
During
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,
Blockchain LogisTech, LLC’s revenues of $4,200 and $12,600,
respectively, were 65.8% and 100%, respectively, of the
consolidated revenues of Seafarer.

FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
The
following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements
that are subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties,
and which speak only as of the date of this annual report. No one
should place strong or undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements. The use in this Form 10-Q of such words as
“believes”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such
statements. The Company’s actual results or actions may differ
materially from these forward-looking statements due to many
factors and the success of the Company is dependent on our efforts
and many other factors including, primarily, our ability to raise
additional capital. Such factors include, among others, the
following: our ability to continue as a going concern, general
economic and business conditions; competition; success of operating
initiatives; our ability to raise capital and the terms thereof;
changes in business strategy or development plans; future revenues;
the continuity, experience and quality of our management; changes
in or failure to comply with government regulations or the lack of
government authorization to continue our projects; and other
factors referenced in the Form 10-Q. This Item should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the
related notes and with the understanding that the Company’s actual
future results may be materially different from what is currently
expected or projected by the Company.
We
caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and
estimates of our management, as well as on assumptions made by and
information currently available to us at the time such statements
were made. Forward looking statements are subject to a variety
of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual events or
results to differ from those reflected in the forward looking
statements, including, without limitation, the failure to
successfully locate cargo and artifacts from shipwreck sites and a
number of other risks and uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements, either as a result of the matters set forth or
incorporated in this Report generally and certain economic and
business factors, some of which may be beyond our
control.
We
disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events.
Overview
General
The
Company’s principal business plan is to develop the infrastructure
and technology to engage in the archaeologically-sensitive
exploration, recovery and conservation of historic shipwrecks. Once
artifacts have been properly conserved, they may be made available
for scientific research and allowed to be displayed for the public.
The Company’s secondary business is to attempt to develop revenue
streams to support its historic shipwreck exploration and recovery
operations.
The
Company has investigated various technologies and non-scientific
equipment to help better explore or document our shipwreck sites.
To the present date, none of these technologies have been proven to
work with the exception of the SeaSearcher, which has been
developed to scan historic shipwreck sites for potential artifacts.
The Company will continue to experiment with unproven technologies
and will actively work with third parties, consultants and
scientists to develop its own proprietary technology which will
result in considerable expenses.
The
Company continues to review revenue producing opportunities
including joint ventures and partnerships with other companies and
potentially governmental agencies. Blockchain LogisTech, LLC, has a
strategic partnership to provide referrals to a blockchain software
services provider and receive referral fees when the referrals lead
to closed business for the blockchain software services
company.
There
is a possibility that the Company will be forced to cease its
operations if it is not successful in eventually locating and
recovering valuable artifacts and treasure or can’t build a revenue
stream in excess of its expenses. If the Company were to cease its
operations, and not find or engage another business entity, then it
is likely that there would be complete loss of all capital invested
in or borrowed by the Company. As such, an investment in Seafarer
is highly speculative and very risky.
This
type of business venture is highly speculative in nature and
carries an excessive amount of risk. An investment in the Company’s
securities is very risky and should only be considered by those
investors or lenders who do not require liquidity and who can
afford to suffer a complete and total loss of their
investment.
There
is currently a limited trading market for the Company’s securities.
It is impossible for the Company to assure that when and if an
active-trading market in its shares will be established, or whether
any such market will be sustained or sufficiently liquid to enable
holders of shares of the Company’s common stock to liquidate their
investment in our company.
The
sale of unregistered and restricted securities by current
shareholders, including shares issued to consultants, independent
contractors, Board members and shares issued to settle convertible
promissory notes or to settle other loans and debt, may cause a
significant decline in the market price of the Company’s
securities. Furthermore, in recent years regulatory agencies have
made it very difficult for broker dealers to accept stock
certificates from issuers of low priced stocks and the Company
believes that it will become even more challenging to deposit stock
certificates and this trend may continue for the foreseeable
future.
Moreover,
in the past few years several major brokerage firms have indicated
that they will not allow their clients to deposit low priced
stocks. Some clearing firms who used to clear low priced securities
for multiple brokerage firms have closed or been acquired,
resulting in fewer brokerage firms that are willing or able to
accept lower priced securities for deposit. Unless an investor has
a large and well-established relationship with a brokerage firm, it
may be extremely difficult and potentially expensive to deposit
lower priced securities. An investor should consider consulting
with professional financial advisers before making an investment in
our securities.
Plan
of Operation
The
Company has taken the following steps to implement its business
plan:
|
● |
To
date, the Company has devoted its time towards establishing its
business to develop the infrastructure capable of researching,
exploring, recovering and conserving historic shipwrecks. The
Company has performed some research, exploration and recovery
activities. |
|
● |
Spent
considerable time and capital researching potential shipwrecks,
including obtaining information from foreign archives. |
|
● |
The
Company has generated limited revenues to date, including some
nominal revenue from dividends and our business goals continue to
evolve. |
|
● |
The
Company continues to review revenue producing opportunities
including joint ventures with other companies and potentially
governmental agencies. The Company is actively looking to work with
revenue producing companies. These opportunities have been slow to
develop, but the Company will continue to pursue those endeavors
that it believes have the potential to increase the value of the
Company’s shares. |
|
● |
The
Company has investigated various types of equipment and technology
to expedite the process of finding artifacts other than iron or
ferrous metals. Most have been of no help, but the Company
continues to explore new technology. The Company has developed its
own proprietary technology, the SeaSearcher, and will attempt to
continue to develop additional proprietary technologies or work
with third parties to develop technologies to aid in its
exploration and recovery operations. Development of technologies
will require additional time and financing. The cost of developing
the new technology has, to date, been very expensive. |
|
● |
The
Company has investigated media opportunities and will continue to
evaluate different media strategies. |
Melbourne
Beach Shipwreck Site
There
is a purported historic shipwreck site in the waters off of
Melbourne Beach, Florida that the Company has been investigating.
Seafarer and MAP, are partners in Seafarer’s Quest, LLC. Under such
agreement, Seafarer is responsible for costs of permitting,
exploration and recovery, and is entitled to 80% and MAP 20% of
artifacts recovered from the site after the State of Florida
receives its share, which is anticipated to be 20% under any future
recovery permits. Seafarer is the designated manager of Seafarer’s
Quest, LLC. The permits for two areas on the site, designated as
Areas 1 and 2, were renewed in 2019 for an additional 3 years.
There are no recovery permits for the site that have been applied
for or issued as of the date of this filing and it will be
necessary to be granted a recovery permit in order to recover any
artifacts or treasure that are located on the site.
Juno
Beach Shipwreck Site
The
Company has previously performed some exploration and recovery
operations at what it believes to be a potential historic shipwreck
site located off of the coast of Florida in northern Palm Beach
County, more specifically in an area known as “Juno Beach” (the
“Juno Beach Shipwreck”). The Company had previously obtained a
recovery permit from the State of Florida for the Juno Beach site.
In November 2017, the Company was granted final judgment on its
federal admiralty claim for the Juno Beach shipwreck site. The
Company does not currently have a permit from the State of Florida
for the Juno Beach shipwreck site. The State of Florida has
requested that the Company submit a new recovery permit application
for the Juno Beach shipwreck site. Even if there are valuable
artifacts and/or treasure located at the site, recovering them may
be difficult due to a variety of challenges that include, but are
not limited to; inclement weather, hazardous ocean conditions,
large amounts of sand that cover large areas of the site, lack of
the necessary equipment to be able to dig deep enough into the
sand, etc.
Even
if there are valuable artifacts and/or treasure located at the
site, recovering them may be difficult due to a variety of
challenges that include, but are not limited to; inclement weather,
hazardous ocean conditions, large amounts of sand that cover large
areas of the site, lack of the necessary equipment to be able to
dig deep enough into the sand, etc.
There
are very strict international, federal and state laws that govern
the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks. While the
Company has been able to obtain some permits, there is no guarantee
that the Company will be able to secure future permits or enter
into agreements with government agencies in order to explore and
salvage historic shipwrecks. There is a risk that government
entities may enact legislation that is so strict that any recovery
of artifacts and cargo from historic shipwrecks will be nearly
impossible. Additionally, permits and agreements with governmental
agencies to conduct historic shipwreck exploration and recovery
operations are expensive to obtain and maintain, both in terms of
both direct costs and ongoing compliance costs. It is also entirely
possible that the Company will not be successful in obtaining title
or permission to excavate certain wrecks.
It is
possible that permits that are sought for potential future
international projects may never be issued, and if issued, may not
be legal or honored by the entities that issued them. Governmental
agencies may require various types of permits to explore shipwreck
sites, and the permitting process is often lengthy and complex.
Obtaining permits and entering into agreements with governmental
and quasi-governmental agencies to conduct historic shipwreck
exploration and recovery operations is generally a very complex,
time consuming, and expensive process. Furthermore, the process of
entering into agreements and/or obtaining permits may be subject to
lengthy delays, possibly in excess of a year. Some governmental
agencies may refuse to issue permits to the Company for recovery of
artifacts or intentionally delay the permitting process.
The
reasons for a lengthy permitting process may be due to a number of
potential factors including but not limited to requests by
permitting agencies for additional information, submitted
applications that need to be revised or updated, newly discovered
information that needs to be added to an application or agreement,
changes to either the agreement or permit terms or revisions to
other information contained in the permit, excessive administrative
time lags at permitting agencies, etc. Existing permits and
agreements may be put on hold or suspended without notice for
lengthy periods of time due to administrative issues and
disagreements over the terms and conditions. The length of time it
takes to obtain permits, enter into agreements, or rectify any
conditions that are causing a permit to be suspended or on hold may
cause the Company to expend significant resources while gearing up
to do work with little or no visibility as to timing.
The
Company regularly reviews opportunities to perform exploration and
recovery operations at purported historic shipwreck sites. The
Company currently does have some specific plans to perform
exploration and recovery operations at other shipwreck sites in the
future, however these plans are subject to change based on a number
of factors. The Company is actively reviewing other potential
historic shipwreck sites, including sites located internationally,
for possible exploration and recovery. Should the Company decide
that it will pursue exploration and recovery activities at other
potential shipwreck sites, it may be necessary to obtain various
permits as well as environmental permits.
The
Company continually monitors media rights for potential revenue
opportunities. The Company has had discussions with media entities
to further understand the advantages offered. Management believes
media can represent a potential future revenue opportunity for the
Company, if the right circumstances arise.
This
type of business venture is extremely speculative in nature and
carries a tremendous amount of risk. An investment in the Company’s
securities is speculative and very risky and should only be
considered by those investors or lenders who do not require
near-term liquidity and who can afford to suffer a complete and
total loss of their investment.
Limited
Operating History
The
Company has generated only minimal revenue from operations and does
not expect to report any significant revenue from operations for
the foreseeable future.
At
September 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$1,274,201.
The
Company’s working capital deficit increased from $492,223 at
December 31, 2019 to $1,274,201 at September 30, 2020. The
Company’s large working capital deficit indicates that there is
still substantial risk to the viability of the Company due to the
fact that the Company does not generate meaningful cash flow from
its operations and therefore has no predictable means to pay its
debt. The Company is in immediate need of further working capital
and is seeking options, with respect to financing, in the form of
debt, equity or a combination thereof.
Since
inception, the Company has funded its operations through common
stock issuances and loans in order to meet its strategic
objectives; however, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to obtain further funds to continue with its efforts
to establish a new business. There is a very significant risk that
the Company will be unable to obtain financing to fund its
operation and as such the Company may be forced to cease operations
at any time which would likely result in a complete loss of all
capital that has been invested in and/or borrowed by the Company to
date.
The
Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses
and to generate negative cash flow from operating activities, while
building out its infrastructure in order to explore and salvage
historic shipwreck sites and establishing itself in the
marketplace. Based on our historical rate of expenditures, the
Company expects to expend its available cash in less than one
month from November 16, 2020.
The
Company’s ability to eliminate operating losses and to generate
positive cash flow from operations in the future will depend upon a
variety of factors, many of which it is unable to control. If the
Company is unable to implement its business plan successfully, it
may not be able to eliminate operating losses, generate positive
cash flow or achieve or sustain profitability, which may have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, and
financial results, as well as its ability to make payments on its
debt obligations, and the Company may be forced to cease
operations.
The
Company’s lack of operating cash flow and reliance on the sale of
its commons stock and loans to fund operations is extremely risky.
If the Company is unable to continue to raise capital or obtain
loans or other financing on terms that are acceptable to the
Company, or at all, then it is highly likely that the Company will
be forced to cease operations. If the Company ceases its
operations, then it is highly likely that all capital invested in
and/or borrowed by the Company will be lost.
Summary
of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 Results of
Operations
The
Company’s net loss for the nine month period ended September 30,
2020 was $2,047,530 versus $1,643,452 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2019, an increase of approximately 25%. The
increase in net losses in 2020 was primarily due to increases in
vessel maintenance expense, consulting and contractor expenses,
research and development expenses, general and administrative
expenses and professional fees.
During
the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, consulting and
contractor fees were $941,048 compared to $852,342 during the nine
month period ended September 30, 2019, an increase of approximately
10%. Vessel maintenance expenses were $163,369 during the nine
month period in 2020 versus $71,176 during the same period in 2019,
an increase of approximately 130%. The increase in vessel
maintenance expenses in 2020 was primarily due to the Company
extensively utilizing multiple vessels during its exploration
activities, including the Discovery which was purchased in late
2019. These vessels require ongoing maintenance and repairs that
have increased due to heavy use. Research and development was
$373,769 in 2020 versus research and development expenses of
$327,935 in 2019, an increase of approximately 14%. The increase in
research and development expenses is attributable to further
development of the Company’s SeaSearcher autonomous underwater
device. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, the
Company incurred professional fees related expenses of $117,611
versus $78,575 during nine month period ended September 30, 2019,
an increase of approximately 50%. Professional fees increased
primarily due to an increase in legal fees. General and
administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September
30, 2020 were $140,642 compared to $107,062 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2019, an increase of approximately 31%.
Depreciation expense was $15,045 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2020 and $0 in 2019. The Company purchased a vessel
in late 2019 and began recording depreciation in 2020, there was no
depreciation expense in 2019. Rent expense was $32,196 in 2020
versus $28,596 in 2019, a 13% year-over-year increase. Travel and
entertainment expenses for the nine month period ended September
30, 2020 were $52,056 versus $43,405 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2019, an increase of approximately 20%.
Interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020
was $195,071 versus $146,187 for the same period in 2019, an
increase of approximately 33%. The increase in interest expense was
due to an increase in amortization of interest relating to the
beneficial conversion features of several convertible notes. Loss
on extinguishment of debt was $34,375 during the nine month period
ended September 30, 2020 versus $5,274 during the same period in
2019. Gain on settlement of accounts payable was $1,252 during the
nine month period ended September 30, 2020 versus $0 in the same
period in 2019. Gain on disposal of asset was $5,500 during the
nine month period ended September 30, 2020 versus $0 in the same
period in 2019. The Company had dividend income of $4,500 during
the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and
2019.
Summary
of Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 Results of
Operations
The
Company’s net loss for the three month period ended September 30,
2020 was $689,636 as compared to a net loss of $701,815 during the
three month period ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of
approximately 2%.
During
the three month period ended September 30, 2020 consulting and
contractor fees were $388,779 as compared to $361,080 for the three
month period ended September 30, 2019, an increase of approximately
8%. Vessel maintenance and dockage was $48,042 during the three
month period ended September 30, 2020 versus $29,189 during the
same period in 2019, an increase of 65% in 2019. Research and
development expenses were $95,460 during the three month period
ended September 30, 2020 versus $210,134 during the same period in
2019. During the three month period ended September 30, 2020,
professional fees were $26,293 as compared to $26,000 during the
three month period ended September 30, 2019, an increase of
approximately 1%. The general and administrative expenses for the
three month period ended September 30, 2020 were $54,837 as
compared to $0 during the three month period ended September 30,
2019. Depreciation expense was $5,015 for the three month period
ended September 30, 2020 and $0 in 2019. Depreciation expense
increased due to the Company purchasing a new vessel to be used in
its operations at the end of 2019. Rent expense was $10,898 during
the three month period ended September 30, 2020 versus $9,100 for
the same period in 2019, an increase of approximately 20%. The
Company incurred travel and entertainment expenses of $19,435
during three month period ended September 30, 2020 as compared to
$15,730 during three month period ended September 30, 2019, an
approximate 24% increase on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Interest
expense was $51,311 during the three month period ended September
30, 2020 versus $55,908 during the three month period ended
September 30, 2019, an decrease of approximately 8%. Loss on
extinguishment of debt was $0 during the three month period ended
September 30, 2020 versus $5,274 during the same period in 2019.
Gain on settlement of accounts payable was $1,252 during the three
month period ended September 30, 2020 versus $0 in the same period
in 2019. Gain on disposal of asset was $5,500 during the three
month period ended September 30, 2020 versus $0 in the same period
in 2019. The Company had dividend income of $1,500 during the three
month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Revenue
The
Company’s core business involving the exploration and recovery of
historic shipwrecks has not generated any revenues to date and is
not expected to generate any significant revenues for the
foreseeable future. During the nine month periods ended September
30, 2020 and 2019, the Company generated $6,382 and $12,600 in
revenue respectively, which is shown as service income on the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,
the Company generated $2,182 and $9,100 in revenue respectively,
which is shown as service income on the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
At
September 30, 2020, we had cash in the bank of $51,072. During the
nine month period ended September 30, 2020 we incurred a net loss
of $2,047,530. At September 30, 2020, we had $94,028 in current
assets and $1,368,229 in current liabilities, leaving us a working
capital deficit of $1,274,201.
Lack
of Liquidity
A
major financial challenge and significant risk facing the Company
is a lack of positive cash flow and liquidity. The Company
continued to operate with significant debt and a working capital
deficit, $1,274,201, during the nine month period ended September
30, 2020. This working capital deficit indicates that the Company
is unable to meet its short-term liabilities
with its current assets. This working capital deficit is
extremely risky for the Company as it may be forced to cease its
operations due to its inability to meet its current obligations. If
the Company is forced to cease its operations then it is highly
likely that all capital invested in and/or borrowed by the Company
will be lost.
The
expenses associated with being a small publicly traded company
attempting to develop the infrastructure to explore and salvage
historic shipwrecks recovery are extremely prohibitive, especially
given that the Company does not currently generate any revenues and
does not expect to generate any revenues in the near future. There
are ongoing expenses associated with operations that are incurred
whether the Company is conducting shipwreck recovery operations or
not. Vessel maintenance, particularly as the Company utilizes
multiple vessels in its exploration operations, upkeep expenses and
docking fees are continuous and unavoidable regardless of the
Company’s operational status. Management anticipates the Company
may need to put the vessel in dry dock in order for additional
repairs to be made. These repairs and maintenance are expensive and
have a negative impact on the Company’s cash position.
In
addition to the operations expenses, a publicly traded company also
incurs the significant recurring corporate expenses related to
maintaining publicly traded status, which include, but are not
limited to accounting, legal, audit, executive, administrative,
corporate communications, rent, telephones, etc. The recurring
expenses associated with being a publicly traded company are very
burdensome for smaller public companies such as Seafarer. This lack
of liquidity creates a very risky situation for the Company in
terms of its ability to continue operating, which in turn makes
owning shares of the Company’s common stock extremely risky and
highly speculative. The Company’s lack of liquidity may cause the
Company to be forced to cease operations at any time which would
likely result in a complete loss of all capital invested in or
borrowed by the Company to date.
Due
to the fact that the Company does not generate any revenues and
does not expect to generate revenues for the foreseeable future the
Company must rely on outside equity and debt funding. The
combination of both the ongoing operational and corporate expenses,
even during times when there is little or no exploration or salvage
activities taking place as well as the need for outside financing,
creates a very risky situation for the Company and its
shareholders. This working capital shortfall and lack of access to
cash to fund corporate activities is extremely risky and may force
the Company to cease its operations which would more than likely
result in a complete loss of all capital invested in or loaned to
the Company to date.
If
the Company is unable to secure additional financing, our business
may fail and our stock price will likely be materially adversely
affected.
Lack
of Revenues and Cash Flow/Significant Losses from
Operations
The
exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks requires a
multi-year, multi-stage process and it may be many years before any
significant revenue is generated from exploration and recovery
activities, if ever. The Company does not believe that it will
generate any significant revenues in the near future. The Company
believes that it may be several years before it is able to generate
any cash flow from its operations, if any are ever generated at
all. Without revenues and cash flow the Company does not have
reliable cash flow to pay its expenses. The Company relies on
outside financing in the form of equity and debt and it is possible
that the Company may not be able to obtain outside financing in the
future. If the Company is not able to obtain financing it would
more than likely be forced to cease operations and all of the
capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company would
be lost.
The
Company has experienced a net loss in every fiscal year since
inception. The Company’s losses from operations were $1,829,336 for
the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 and $1,496,491 for
the nine month period ended September 30, 2019. The Company
believes that it will continue to generate losses from its
operations for the foreseeable future and the Company may not be
able to generate a profit in the long-term, or ever.
Based
on these financial results, the Company may not be able to continue
as a going concern. The reports of our independent auditors for the
years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 raises substantial doubt as
to our ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2020, we have experienced
operating losses in every year since our inception resulting in an
accumulated deficit. If the Company is not able to continue as a
going concern, it is highly likely that all capital invested in the
Company or borrowed by the Company will be lost.
Furthermore,
if the Company is unable to secure additional financing, our
business may fail or our operating results and our stock price may
be materially adversely affected. The raising of additional
financing would in all likelihood result in dilution or reduction
in the value of the Company’s securities.
Additionally,
the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic may cause the
Company to be unable to obtain financing to fund its business and
operations. If the Company is not able to obtain financing due to
COVID-19 then it is highly likely that it will be forced to cease
its operations which would likely result in the Company not
surviving which would result in a complete loss of all capital
invested in the Company.
Convertible
Notes Payable and Notes Payable, in Default
The
Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to
refinance its convertible notes payable and notes payable that are
currently in default. If the Company is unable to obtain additional
capital, such lenders may file suit, including suit to foreclose on
the assets held as collateral for the obligations arising under the
secured notes. If any of the lenders file suit to foreclose on the
assets held as collateral, then the Company may be forced to
significantly scale back or cease its operations, which would more
than likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been
invested in or borrowed by the Company. The fact that the Company
is in default regarding several loans held by various lenders makes
investing in the Company or providing any loans to the Company
extremely risky with a very high potential for a complete loss of
capital.
The
convertible notes that have been issued by the Company are
convertible at the lender’s option. These convertible notes
represent significant potential dilution to the Company’s current
shareholders as the convertible price of these notes is generally
lower than the current market price of the Company’s shares. As
such when these notes are converted into equity there is typically
a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and very high
probability that such dilution may significantly negatively affect
the trading price of the Company’s common stock. Furthermore,
management intends to have discussions or has already had
discussions with several of the promissory note holders who do not
currently have convertible notes regarding converting their notes
into equity. Any such amended agreements to convert promissory
notes into equity would more than likely have a highly dilutive
effect on current shareholders and there is a very high probability
that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading
price of the Company’s common stock. Some of these note holders
have already amended their notes and converted the notes into
equity. Based on conversations with other note holders, the Company
believes that additional note holders will amend their notes to
contain a convertibility clause and eventually convert the notes
into equity.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and
judgments which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities (see Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies,
contained in the notes to the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements for the nine month periods ended September 30,
2020 and 2019 contained in this filing). On an ongoing basis, we
evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions which we believe to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and
liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates based upon different
assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates
are reasonable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures About Market Risk
Not
required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and
Procedures
Management’s
Responsibility for Controls and Procedures
The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial
reporting. The Company’s controls over financial reporting are
designed under the supervision of the Company’s Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the
Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is accumulated and communicated to
the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our principal
executive officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure
controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule
13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of September 30,
2020. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our
financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so
as to timely record, process, summarize and report financial
information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited internal
resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of
transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and
review process, management believes that the financial statements
and other information presented herewith are materially
correct.
Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
As of
September 30, 2020, under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operations of our internal control
over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or
15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
based on the criteria for effective internal control described in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(as revised). Based on our evaluation, management concluded that
our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective so as to timely record, process, summarize and report
financial information required to be included on our Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited
internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of
transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and
review process, management believes that the financial statements
and other information presented herewith are materially
correct.
The
management including its Principal Executive Officer/Principal
Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and
procedures, or its internal controls over financial reporting will
prevent all error and all fraud. A control system no matter how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not
absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are
met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of
controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been
detected.
The
Company has limited resources and as a result, a material weakness
in financial reporting currently exists, because of our limited
resources and personnel, including those described
below.
|
* |
The
Company has an insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and
experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal
controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and
annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. |
|
* |
We
have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties
relative to key financial reporting functions. |
|
* |
We do
not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee
financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an
audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it
is the managements view that to have audit committee, comprised of
independent board members, and an independent audit committee
financial expert is an important entity-level control over the
Company’s financial statements. |
A
material weakness is a deficiency (within the meaning of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) auditing standard 5) or
combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial
reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management has determined that a material weakness exists due to a
lack of segregation of duties, resulting from the Company’s limited
resources and personnel.
Remediation
Efforts to Address Deficiencies in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
As a
result of these findings, management, upon obtaining sufficient
capital and operations, intends to take practical, cost-effective
steps in implementing internal controls, including the possible
remedial measures set forth below. As of September 30, 2020 we did
not have sufficient capital and/or operations to implement any of
the remedial measures described below.
|
* |
Assessing
the current duties of existing personnel and consultants, assigning
additional duties to existing personnel and consultants, and, in a
cost effective manner, potentially hiring additional personnel to
assist with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements
to allow for proper segregation of duties, as well as additional
resources for control documentation. |
|
* |
Assessing
the duties of the existing officers of the Company and, in a cost
effective manner, possibly promote or hire additional personnel to
diversify duties and responsibilities of such executive
officers. |
|
* |
Board
to review and make recommendations to shareholders concerning the
composition of the Board of Directors, with particular focus on
issues of independence. The Board of Directors will consider
nominating an audit committee and audit committee financial expert,
which may or may not consist of independent members. |
|
* |
Interviewing
and potentially hiring outside consultants that are experts in
designing internal controls over financial reporting based on
criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework
issued by Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (as
revised). |
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to
attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to
temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only
management’s report in this annual report.
(b)
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The
Company has not made any change in our internal control over
financial reporting during the nine month period ended September
30, 2020.
Part II. Other
Information
Item 1. Legal
Proceedings
On
September 3, 2014, the Company filed a lawsuit against Darrel
Volentine, of California. Mr. Volentine was sued in two counts of
libel per se under Florida law, as well as a count for injunction
against the Defendant to exclude and prohibit internet postings.
Such lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court in Hillsborough County,
Florida. Such suit is based upon internet postings on
www.investorshub.com. On or about October 15, 2015, the
Company and Volentine entered into a stipulation whereby Volentine
admitted to his tortious conduct, however the stipulated damages
agreed to were rejected by the Court, and the Company is proceeding
to trial on damages against Volentine in a non-jury trial on
December 1, 2015. The Defendant is the subject of a contempt of
court motion which was heard on April 7, 2016, whereby the Court
found a violation and modified the injunction against the
Defendant, and imposed other matters of potential penalties against
the Defendant. The Court also awarded attorney’s fees against the
Defendant on behalf of Seafarer for such motion. The Defendant
subsequently attempted to have such ruling, evidence and testimony
attacked through a motion heard before the Court on October 24,
2016. The Court dismissed the Defendant’s motion after presentation
of the Defendant’s case at the hearing. The Plaintiff has set the
matter for entry of the attorney’s fees amount due from the
Defendant for hearing in December 2016. As well the Plaintiff has
set for hearing its motion for sanctions in the form of attorney’s
fees for frivolous filing of the October 24th motion, which motion
is also set for hearing in December 2016. The Plaintiff filed a
renewed and amended motion for punitive damages in the case on
September 11, 2016, which has not been set for hearing. The
Defendant had also filed a motion for summary judgment on the
matter of notice entitlement pre-suit, which motion is pending
before the Court. The Plaintiff filed a motion for sanctions
against the Defendant for the motion for summary judgment being
frivolous under existing law, and such motion is pending ruling on
the motion. Discovery is ongoing on such case. On December 7, 2016,
the Court held a hearing on the Defendant’s motion for sanctions,
and essentially attempting to rehear the motion for contempt
against the Defendant. The Court dismissed the Defendant’s motions,
and renewed the ability of the Company to seek attorney’s fees on
such matter, which hearing has not been set at present. On February
28, 2017, the Court entered an Order denying the Defendant’s motion
for summary judgment. The Company has a pending motion for
sanctions related to the Defendant’s filing of the motion for
summary judgment which has not been set for hearing. The Company
will be attempting to set such matter for trial during
2020.
On April 17, 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court
in and for Hillsborough County, Florida against Michael Torres
(“Torres”), regarding fraud, fraud in the inducement, breach of
contract and civil theft under Florida law, as well as for
injunctive relief to cancel shares issued. Such shares are
currently locked up with the transfer agent pending ruling of the
Court. The civil theft claim seeks triple the damages for monies
paid to Torres, plus attorney’s fees and costs. Torres filed a
motion to dismiss which was denied by the Circuit Court on July 28,
2020. Torres filed a general denial in an answer. Seafarer is in
the discovery phase of the case. Mediation of the case has
been requested by Torres, mediation is being set at this point in
time.
Item 1A. Risk

Not
required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 2. Recent Sales and Other
Issuances of Unregistered Securities
During
the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued
26,611,878 fully vested and non-forfeitable common stock shares for
services provided by consultants, contractors, advisory members,
board members, and other service providers. We determined the fair
value of the shares issued using the stock price on date of
issuance. Compensation expense is recognized as the services are
provided to the Company. The Company believes that the issuance of
the securities was exempt from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any
public offering and based on the fact that such securities were
issued for services to sophisticated or accredited investors and
persons who are thoroughly familiar with the Company’s proposed
business by virtue of their affiliation with the
Company.
On
various dates during the nine month period ended September 30,
2020, the Company entered into subscription agreements to sell
192,700,001 shares of its restricted common stock in exchange for
proceeds of $718,799. The proceeds received were used for general
corporate purposes, working capital and the repayment of
debt.
