Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The following unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our 2020 10-K for a broader discussion of our business and the risks inherent in such business.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BWMG and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor, BHP and BLU3. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and cash equivalents

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

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of all of our products to wholesale and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge. The allowances for doubtful accounts totaled $45,426 and $16,872 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists of the raw material, parts that make up the items that we manufacture, and finished goods. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded reserves for obsolete or slow-moving inventory of approximately $227,657. No additional reserve for obsolete or slow-moving inventory during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Revenue Recognition

We account for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all the related amendments. This standards core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to receive.

We recognize the sale of products under single performance obligations upon shipment of the units as that is when ownership is transferred and our performance is completed. Revenues from repair and maintenance activities is recognized when the repairs are completed and the units have been shipped.

Lease Accounting

We account for leases in accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”. The lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations.

We categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that would allow us to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. We did not have any finance leases as of June 30, 2021. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for property. We elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of our agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.

Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments using a discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term.

When we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 the lease expenses were approximately $32,900 and $65,700, respectively, and approximately $43,000 and $78,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Cash paid for operating liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $65,400 and approximately $64,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:

 Schedule of Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee and non-employee are required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

Loss per common share

Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. At June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, 205,855,020 and 202,389,986, respectively, of potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These shares reflect shares potentially issuable under convertible notes, outstanding warrants, outstanding stock options and the conversion of preferred stock.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

Note 3. Going Concern

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these consolidated financial statements. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $530,786, of which $475,875 is non-cash stock related compensation. At June 30, 2021, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $13,486,923. Despite a working capital surplus of approximately $798,138 at June 30, 2021, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

PPP Loan

On May 12, 2020, we received an unsecured loan from South Atlantic Bank in the principal amount of $159,600 (the “SBA Loan”), under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The intent and purpose of the PPP is to support companies, during the COVID-19 pandemic, by providing funds for certain specified business expenses, with a focus on payroll. As a qualifying business as defined by the SBA, we used the proceeds from this loan to primarily help maintain our payroll and cover our rent and utilities as we navigated our business through the lockdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic until our return to normal operations earlier in 2020.

The term of the note is two years, though it may be payable sooner in connection with an event of default under the note. The SBA Loan carries a fixed interest rate of one percent per year, and a monthly payment of $8,983, with the first payment due seven months from the date of initial cash receipt. Under the CARES Act and the PPP, certain amounts of loans made under the PPP may be forgiven if the recipients use the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll costs and certain rent or utility costs, and meet other requirements regarding, among other things, the maintenance of employment and compensation levels. We used the SBA Loan for qualifying expenses and have applied for forgiveness of the SBA Loan in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act. On April 28, 2021, the Company was notified by South Atlantic Bank that the SBA Loan was forgiven in full under the terms of the CARES Act. The company recorded the forgiveness as a gain on the forgiveness of the PPP loan on our condensed consolidated income statement.

The note balance as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $0 and $159,600, respectively.
