*Diving and Snorkeling Industry*

According to Fortune Market Insight, the Diving and Snorkelling market will reach $2.2 billion, signalling readiness for broader adoption as more enthusiasts enter the market and established players expand product offerings. Between 2025 and 2035, the market moves through scaling (2025-2030) and consolidation (2030-2035). By 2030, according to Fortune Market Insight, the market is estimated to surpass $2.6 billion, driven by growing participation in recreational diving, training programs, and tourism linked equipment sales. The 4.0% compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") underscores steady, consistent growth, reflecting a transition from early adoption to widespread use, with scuba diving equipment becoming a standard choice for the recreational and professional divers worldwide.

The Company has entered the tourist market via a guided tour program within LBI that is currently intended to act as an incubator for a scalable franchise model. The Company believes that the guided tour model is an important building block in introducing its battery powered diving products to the consumer market. Additionally, this model will not only give consumers the opportunity to "try before you buy", but also provide experiential training for the consumer to increase the enjoyment and safety of our diving products.

*Yachting Industry*

According to Fortune Business Insights, the global yacht market was valued at $311.32 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow from $325.96 billion in 2026 to $470.69 billion by 2034, demonstrating and CAGR of $4.70% between 2026-2034. The Company's BIAS systems have been designed with this industry in mind. The Company markets directly to the yachting industry by leveraging its relationships with large yacht servicing companies, yacht builders and yacht brokerages.

*High Pressure Compressor Line*

According to Fortune Business Insights, the North American high pressure compressor market was valued at $6.73 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from $7.11 billion in 2026 to $11.0 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. The global high pressure equipment market is characterized by significant technological advancements and strategic expansion by key players. High pressure equipment is utilized across multiple industries to processes that involve handling, transporting, and controlling gases or liquids at pressures far exceeding atmospheric levels.

The Company expects to continue to distribute L&W compressors through its YachtPro, and BIAS systems, while continuing to focus on the expansion of its distribution into non-marine related distribution channels that the Company believes should positively impact its market reach.

**License Agreements**

On April 6, 2018, the Company entered into a patent license agreement (the "STS Agreement") with Setaysha Technical Solutions, LLC ("STS") pursuant to which the Company licensed certain intellectual property, including patent rights, non-patent rights and know-how from STS for use in our ultra-portable tankless dive system products. Under the STS Agreement, the Company paid an initial license fee in April 2018 through the issuance of 759,422 shares of common stock with a fair value of $30,000. The STS Agreement further provides for royalties based on annual net revenues. On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into Addendum No. 1 to the STS Agreement ("Addendum No. 1") which amended the payments due upon the first commercial sale of Nemo. Upon entering into Addendum No. 1, $8,250 was paid to STS in cash and $8,250 was paid on January 10, 2020. On February 6, 2020, the Company issued 828,221 shares of common stock with a fair value of $18,635 in satisfaction of $13,500 for the first commercial sale of the Nemo dive system. On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into Addendum No. 2 to the STS Agreement concerning STS's assistance related to designing and commercializing certain diving products. Addendum No. 2 provides for a minimum yearly royalty of $60,000, or $15,000 per fiscal quarter, beginning in December 2019 and increasing by 2.15% per year. With the introduction of NOMAD in the last quarter of 2021, the Company is obligated to pay an additional annual minimum royalty of $60,000 per year for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024, which increased the quarterly minimum royalty by $15,000 per quarter. On January 24, 2024, the Company entered into Addendum No. 3 to the STS Agreement. Addendum No. 3 delays the additional minimum yearly royalty of $60,000, or $15,000 per fiscal quarter from 2024 to 2025. Therefore, no additional minimum royalty was required during 2024, but was required beginning in the first quarter of 2025, which was the final year of the additional minimum royalty under the STS agreement. Royalty payments under the amended STS Agreement were $91,907 and $125,159 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Marketing**

**Print Literature, Public Relations, and Advertising**

We have in-house graphic design capability to create and maintain product support literature, catalogs, mailings, web-based advertising, newsletters, editorials, advertorials, and press releases. We also, from time-to-time, target specific markets by selectively advertising in journals and magazines that we believe reach our potential customers. In addition, we strive to issue press releases, newsletters, and social media postings periodically to keep the public informed of our latest products and related endeavors.

**Tradeshows**

In 2025, the Company was represented at The Palm Beach Boat Show, The Annapolis Motor and Sailing Shows, The Fort Lauderdale Boat show, Diving Equipment, Manufacturing show, The Seattle Boat Show, The Miamaii Boat Show, Boot Dusseldorf and the HAI Heli-Expo, along with various other trade and industry shows.

**Websites**

We sell our products online through our and our subsidiaries websites and many of our products are marketed on some of our customers' websites. In addition to these websites, numerous other websites have quick links to the Company's website. Our products are available both domestically and internationally. Internet sales and inquiries are also supported by the Company.

**Product Research and Development**

Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and were $3,638 and $9,992, respectively, none of which cost is borne directly by customers.

**Government Regulation**

The SCUBA industry is self-regulating; therefore, the Company is not subject to government industry specific regulation. However, SSI, our tank manufacturing company is subject to Department of Transportation ("DOT") regulation and testing of each of their tanks. The Company strives to promote safe diving practices within the industry and believes it is at the forefront of self-regulation through responsible diving practices. The Company is subject to all regulations applicable to "for profit" companies as well as all trade and general commerce governmental regulation. All required federal and state permits, licenses, and bonds to operate its facility have been obtained.

**Distribution/Customers**

The Company has historically been predominantly a wholesale distributor to retail dive stores, marine stores, boat dealers, builders, and the US and international militaries. Currently, the Company generates a significant amount of direct-to-consumer sales via its websites and its relationship with Amazon via BLU3, BTL and SSI. Retail sales customers include boat owners, recreational divers, commercial divers and pilots. The Company sells products to three entities owned by the brother of Robert Carmichael, the Company's Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer and two companies owned by Mr. Carmichael. Combined sales to these five entities for 2025 and 2024, represented 8.7% and 6.9%, respectively, of the Company's total net revenues.

The majority of L&W high pressure compressors and NitroxMaker™ systems have been sold to commercial dive stores, dive operators (resorts and liveaboard dive boats), yacht builders, yacht owners, and high-pressure compressor distributors.

Sales of YachtPro™ compressor systems have been split between retail sales directly to consumers and wholesale sales to OEM boat builders/resellers/brokers.

**Suppliers/Raw Materials**

Principal raw materials for our business include machined parts such as rods, pistons, bearings, hoses, regulators, compressors, engines, high-pressure valves and fittings, sewn goods, and various plastic parts including pans, covers, intake staffs, and quick release connections which are typically purchased on a per order basis. Most materials are readily available from multiple vendors. Some materials require greater lead times than other materials. Accordingly, we strive to avoid out of stock situations through careful monitoring of these inventory lead times, and through avoiding single source vendors whenever possible. Principle suppliers include Lenhardt & Wagner GmbH, Xometry, Inc., Burgess Manufacturing Corp, Bix International, Inc., Carrol Stream Motor Company, Zhejiang Xiangyang Gear Electormechan, Co, Tian Li He Technology Co, Ltd, Xiamen Feipeng Insdustry Co. Ltd. and Catalina Cylinders, Inc.

**Competition**

We consider the most significant competitive factors in our business to be innovation, lifestyle, fair prices, shopping convenience, variety of available products, knowledgeable and prompt customer service and rapid and accurate order fulfillment. We currently have one significant competitor within the BTL business model, Airline by JSink, Inc. There are a variety of competitors, including Aqua Lung America, Coltri America and Bauer Compressors, Inc. in our redundant air tank systems and high-pressure compressor systems sales. In 2025 and 2024 competition has surfaced in the BLU3 business segment from companies such as AirBuddy, and a few other very low-cost Chinese manufactured competitors.

Overall, we are operating in a moderately competitive environment. The price structure for all the products we distribute compares favorably with the majority of our competitors based on quality and available features. We believe that our key competitive advantage is our ability to create better quality, new products and, in some cases, new markets.

**Employees**

As of March 31, 2026, we have thirty six full-time employees, and two part-time employees.

**Seasonality**

Our product lines have historically been seasonal in nature in the United States. The peak season for the diving related products, BTL, BLU3, SSI and LBI is the second and third quarters of the year. The peak season for LWA high pressure products is typically the fourth and first quarters of the year. The Company continues to address the seasonality of the business by expanding its reach beyond the traditional markets in the U.S. to other areas of the world that may somewhat offset the seasonality.

---

*Investing in our common stock involves risks. In addition to the other information contained in this report, you should carefully consider the following risks before deciding to purchase our common stock. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose all or a part of your investment. Some statements in this report, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for more information regarding forward-looking statements.*

**FINANCIAL RISKS**

***We have a history of losses.***

We incurred net loss of $105,149 and a $240,599, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. On December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $18,031,358. Revenues decreased by 7.99% for the year ended December 31, 2025, from 2024, and our gross profit margin decreased from 40.4% in 2024 to 37.4% in 2025. Our gross profit was not sufficient to cover our operating expenses of $2,958,659 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2025. Operating expenses include non-cash stock compensation expenses of $198,478 and $151,492 for the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2025, our selling, general and administrative expenses, decreased 14.13% from 2024. Although we continue to show improvements in our cost control, there are no assurances that we will be able to increase our revenues to a level which supports profitable operations and provide sufficient capital to pay our operating expenses and other obligations as they become due.

***Our auditors have disclosed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern*.**

Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt relating to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. We have loss from operations and had a net loss of approximately $105,149 and have used approximately $109,793 in net cash used in our operations in the year ended December 31, 2025 as well as an accumulated deficit of approximately $18,031,358. Although these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we have shown improvements in our cost control, we show a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our principal sources of liquidity are sales of equity and debt securities. We do not have any firm commitments to raise additional working capital. Because our company's common stock quoted on the OTCID Basic Market, and our stock is currently not eligible for proprietary broker-dealer quotations, we expect to encounter difficulty in raising working capital upon terms and conditions satisfactory to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding or generate sufficient revenues, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected, and we may be unable to continue as a going concern.

***Our common stock is currently traded on the OTCID Market and is only eligible for unsolicited quotes.***

Our commons stock is not eligible for proprietary broker-dealer quotations. Unsolicited-only stocks have a higher risk of wider spreads, increased volatility, and price dislocations. Investors may have difficulty selling this stock.

***We rely on revenues from related parties.***

We generate revenues from sales to related parties, which accounted for 8.5% of our net revenues in 2025 and 6.9% of our net revenues in 2024. The loss of revenues from these related parties would have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition in future periods.

***We depend on licenses with Robert Carmichael, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who owns much of our intellectual property.***

The Company has licensed from entities in which Robert Carmichael, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has an ownership interest, the following registered and unregistered trade names, trademarks and service marks: Brownie's Third Lung™, browniedive.com, Brownie's, Brownie's Third Lung oval symbol, browniedive, YachtPro. Failure to maintain such licenses with Mr. Carmichael would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

***If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.***

Our management has previously determined that we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. If the result of our remediation of the identified material weaknesses is not successful, or if additional material weaknesses are identified in our internal control over financial reporting, our management will be unable to report favourably as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and/or our disclosure controls and procedures, and we could be required to further implement expensive and time-consuming remedial measures and potentially lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports which could have an adverse effect on our stock price and potentially subject us to litigation.

***The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission ("CPSC") has issued a voluntary recall for one of our products.***

On December 22, 2022, the CPSC issued a voluntary recall notice for the Nomad tankless dive system, which is distributed by BLU3, Inc. As part of the recall procedure, the CPSC has approved the Company's proposed remedy for the recall and BLU3 will begin to receive units back from consumers to repair affected Nomad units. The Company has evaluated the costs of this recall and has deemed it necessary to set a reserve for those costs related to the recall of $160,500. In 2023, the Company finalized the recall and adjusted the reserve down to approximately $86,300 to reflect the actual impact on the Company's financial condition. There have been no further recalls on our products. The Company reversed the remaining allowance for recall in 2025.

**BUSINESS AND OPERATIONAL RISKS**

***We are dependent upon certain key members of management and qualified employees and consultants.***

Our success depends to a significant degree on the abilities and efforts of our senior management. and on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified marketing, technical, engineering and sales personnel and consultants. These people are in high demand and often have competing employment opportunities. The labor market for skilled employees is highly competitive and we may lose key employees or be forced to increase their compensation to retain these people. Employee turnover could significantly increase our recruitment, training and other related employee costs. The loss of key personnel, or the failure to attract qualified personnel, could result in delays in development or fulfilment of any current strategic and operational plans and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

***Our failure to obtain and enforce intellectual property protection may have a material adverse effect on our business.***

Our success depends in part on our ability, and the ability of our patent and trademark licensors, and entities owned and controlled by Robert Carmichael to obtain and defend our intellectual property, including patent protection for our products and processes, preserve our trade secrets, defend and enforce our rights against infringement and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties, both in the United States and in other countries. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual proprietary rights, existing copyright, trademark and trade secret laws afford only limited protection.

Our industry is characterized by frequent intellectual property litigation based on allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights. Although we are not aware of any intellectual property claims against us, we may be a party to litigation in the future.

***Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to adequately protect, or uncertainty regarding validity, enforceability or scope of them could undermine our competitive position and reduce the value of our products and brand, and litigation to protect our intellectual property rights may be costly.***

We attempt to strengthen and differentiate our product portfolio by developing new and innovative products and product improvements. As a result, our patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and other intellectual property rights are important assets to us. Various events outside of our control pose a threat to our intellectual property rights as well as to our products and services. For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in countries in which our products are sold. Also, although we have registered our trademark in various jurisdictions, our efforts to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Litigation might be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights and any such litigation may be costly and may divert our management's attention from our core business. An adverse determination in any lawsuit involving our intellectual property is likely to jeopardize our business prospects and reputation. Although we are not aware of any of such litigation, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs, and we would be forced to bear all litigation costs if we cannot recover them from other parties. All foregoing factors could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any unauthorized use of our intellectual property could harm our operating results.

***We may be exposed to infringement or misappropriation claims by third parties, which, if determined against us, could adversely affect our business and subject us to significant liability to third parties.***

***We may not be able to enforce our intellectual property rights throughout the world.***

The laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in certain foreign jurisdictions. This could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement or the misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. Many foreign countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner must grant licenses to third parties. In addition, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against third parties, including government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, patents may provide limited or no benefit. Patent protection must ultimately be sought on a country-by-country basis, which is an expensive and time-consuming process with uncertain outcomes. Accordingly, we may choose not to seek patent protection in certain countries, and we will not have the benefit of patent protection in such countries.

Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts from other aspects of our business. Accordingly, our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights in such countries may be inadequate. In addition, changes in the law and legal decisions by courts in the United States and foreign countries may affect our ability to obtain adequate protection for our technology and the enforcement of intellectual property.

***We rely on third party vendors and manufacturers.***

We deal with suppliers on an order-by- order basis and have no long-term purchase contracts or other contractual assurances of continued supply or pricing. In addition, we have no long-term contracts with our manufacturing sources and compete with other companies for production facility capacity. Historically, we have purchased enough inventories of products or their substitutes to satisfy demand. However, unanticipated failure of any manufacturer or supplier to meet our requirements or our inability to build or obtain substitutes could force us to curtail or cease operations. Certain of our product components are manufactured in China. Due to Covid, and the logistics challenges existing currently, we have experienced delays and may experience continued delays in our supply chain, including component products, which are manufactured in China. Our senior management will continue to monitor our situation on a daily basis; however, we expect that these factors and others we have yet to experience may materially adversely impact our company, its business and operations for the foreseeable future.

***We are dependent on consumer discretionary spending.***

The success of our business depends largely upon a number of factors related to consumer spending, including current and future economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as employment, business conditions, tax rates, and interest rates. In times of economic uncertainty, consumers tend to defer expenditures for discretionary items, which effects demand for our products. Any significant deterioration in overall economic conditions that diminishes consumer confidence or discretionary income can reduce our sales and adversely affect our financial results. The impact of weakening consumer credit markets; layoffs; corporate restructurings; higher fuel prices; declines in the value of investments and residential real estate; and increases in federal and state taxation can all negatively affect our results. There can be no assurance that in this type of environment consumer spending will not decline, thereby adversely affecting our growth, net sales and profitability or that our business will not be adversely affected by continuing or future downturns in the economy, boating industry, or dive industry. If declines in consumer spending on recreational marine accessories and dive gear are other than temporary, we could be forced to curtail or cease operations.

***Government regulations may impact us.***

The SCUBA industry is self-regulating, therefore, from an industry perspective the Company is not subject to government industry specific regulation. However, our tank manufacturing operation is required to comply with DOT, as well as being approved to sell in various countries outside of the United States. The Company strives to be a leader in promoting safe diving practices within the industry and is at the forefront of self-regulation through responsible diving practices. The Company is subject to all regulations applicable to "for profit" companies as well as all trade and general commerce governmental regulation. All required federal and state permits, licenses, and bonds to operate its facility have been obtained. There can be no assurance that our operations will not be subject to more restrictive regulations in the future, which could force us to curtail or cease operations.

***Our failure to adequately protect personal information that is collected on our website and our third-party payment platforms could have a material adverse effect on our business.***

A wide variety of local, state, national, and international laws, directives and regulations apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, disclosure, transfer, and other processing of personal data (including with respect to the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation and U.S. state laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act). These data protection and privacy-related laws and regulations continue to evolve and may result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions and increased costs of compliance. Our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or to protect such data, could result in enforcement actions against us, including fines, imprisonment of company officials and public censure, claims for damages by end-customers and other affected individuals, damage to our reputation and loss of goodwill (both in relation to existing end-customers and prospective end-customers), any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial performance, and business. Changing definitions of personal data and personal information, within the European Union, the United States, and elsewhere may limit or inhibit our ability to operate or expand our business, including limiting strategic partnerships that may involve the sharing of data. The evolving data protection regulatory environment may require significant management attention and financial resources to analyze and modify our information technology infrastructure to meet these changing requirements all of which could reduce our operating margins and impact our operating results and financial condition.

***Bad weather could have an adverse effect on operating results.***

Our business is significantly impacted by weather patterns. Unseasonably cool weather, extraordinary amounts of rainfall, or unseasonably rough surf, may decrease boat use and diving, thereby decreasing sales. Accordingly, our results of operations for any prior period may not be indicative of results of any future period.

***The manufacture and distribution of recreational diving equipment could result in product liability claims.***

We, like any other retailer, distributor and manufacturer of products that are designed for recreational sporting purposes, face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury. Such claims may include, among other things, that our products are designed and/or manufactured improperly or fail to include adequate instructions as to proper use and/or side effects, if any. We do not obtain indemnification from parties supplying raw materials**,** manufacturing our products or marketing our products. In the event that we do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification, product liabilities relating to defective products could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial conditions, which could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

**SHAREHOLDER RISKS**

***The issuance of shares of our common stock upon exercise of our outstanding options, warrants, convertible debt and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing shareholders.***

We presently have vested and unvested options, warrants, convertible debt and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that if exercised would result in the issuance of an additional 50,824,019 shares of our common stock. The issuance of shares upon exercise of options will result in dilution to the interests of other shareholders.

***Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and may fluctuate significantly.***

The Company's common stock is quoted on the OTCID Basic Market tier of the OTC Markets under the symbol "BWMG." Securities quoted on OTC Markets tiers generally have lower trading volumes and less liquidity than securities listed on national securities exchanges. The Company's common stock is currently not eligible for proprietary broker-dealer quotations and therefore have a higher risk of wider spreads, increased volatility, and price dislocations. As a result, Investors may have difficulty selling the Company's common stock.

Limited trading activity may contribute to price volatility and wider bid-ask spreads than securities traded on national exchanges. Accordingly, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate over short periods, and shareholders may experience difficulty buying or selling shares in desired quantities or at desired prices.

The Company is focused on strengthening its public company profile through continued operational growth, transparent financial reporting, and enhanced corporate governance and investor communications. While there can be no assurance regarding future market tier status, management intends to pursue initiatives designed to improve the Company's visibility in the public markets and support potential qualification for higher tiers of the OTC Markets as the Company's financial condition, reporting status, and market conditions permit.

The market price of our common stock may also be influenced by factors unrelated to our operating performance, including changes in investor perception, developments in our industry, variations in financial results, and broader economic or financial market conditions. These and other factors could cause the trading price of our common stock to fluctuate.

***Our company is a voluntary filer with the SEC and in the event that we cease reporting under the Exchange Act, investors would have limited information available to them about the company.***

While we voluntarily file reports with the SEC under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we do not have a class of securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. To the extent that our duty to file Exchange Act reports has automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as a voluntary filer, we may elect to cease reporting under the Exchange Act at such time which would limit the information available to investors and shareholders about the company.

***Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock," which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.***

Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined under the Exchange Act. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges. Our common stock is covered by an SEC rule that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, which are generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.

Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.

**Our officers and directors are able to control the Company.**

Our officers and directors and their affiliates own or have the right to vote a majority of the common stock of our company. As a result, they have significant influence over the management and affairs of the Company and control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or our assets. Their interests may differ from the interests of other shareholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders. This concentration of ownership and influence in management and board decision-making could also harm the price of our capital stock by, among other things, discouraging a potential acquirer from seeking to acquire shares of our capital stock (whether by making a tender offer or otherwise) or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

**Item 2.** **Properties.**

*Davie, Florida*

Until November 2024, the Company's executive offices were located in Pompano Beach, Florida. The Company moved its facilities to Davie, Florida where it leases 19,065 square feet of production, warehouse, showroom and office space under a 45 month sub-lease which commenced on November 1, 2024. The lease provides for an initial base monthly rent of $26,000 through September 30, 2025 and $31,000 thereafter for the balance of the term. The landlord has agreed to a monthly rent abatement of $3,639 per month through October 2026. The lease is considered a triple-net lease and is subject to "additional rent" which is comprised of the landlord's operating costs, real estate taxes and insurance in accordance with the terms of the master lease. The Company paid a security deposit of $26,000 upon entering the sub-lease agreement.

*Huntington Beach, California*

The Company's Huntington Beach, California facility is comprised of a leased 13,000 square foot free standing building of which the bulk of the square footage is warehouse and manufacturing space. The initial lease, signed in January, 2013 was for five years with a base rent of $7,410.

On January 4, 2018, the Company entered into a sixty-one month term lease renewal for its facility in Huntington Beach, California, commencing on February 1, 2018. Base rent is approximately $9,300 per month for the first 12 months with a 2.5% annual escalation throughout the term. The Company paid a security deposit of $8,450 with the initial lease that the landlord continues to hold.

On September 14, 2022, SSI entered into a sixty-month lease renewal for its facility in Huntington Beach, California commencing on February 1, 2023. Base rent is approximately $17,550 per month for the first 24 months with an annual escalation clause of 3.0% thereafter. Obligations under the lease are guaranteed by the Company. The Company paid an additional security deposit of $10,727 upon entering into the lease.

On September 30, 2022, SSI entered into a sublease of its facility in Huntington Beach, California with Camburg Engineering, Inc.("Tenant"). The term of the sublease is through December 31, 2023 with a base monthly rent of $2,247 for the first twelve months and 3% annual escalation thereafter. The Tenant also pays a monthly common area maintenance of $112. The Tenant provided a security deposit of $2,426 upon entering into the sublease. Currently, this sub-lease is continuing on a month to month basis.

**Item 3.** **Legal Proceedings.**

**PART II**

**Item 5.** **Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.**

The Company's common stock was quoted on the OTCPink tier of the OTC Markets under the symbol "BWMG" since April 15, 2025. As of April 15, 2025, the Company common stock has traded on the OTCID Basic Market. On March 30, 2026, the closing sale price of our common stock was $0.012 per share.

Management believes that transparent reporting, disciplined corporate governance, and consistent investor communications are essential to long-term shareholder value creation. In addition to expanding its operating businesses and strengthening financial performance, the Company is focused on enhancing its public company profile and improving accessibility for current and prospective investors.

These efforts include maintaining timely public disclosures, expanding investor outreach initiatives, and pursuing operational and reporting milestones that may support qualification for higher tiers of the OTC Markets, such as the OTCQB Venture Market, as the Company's financial condition, reporting status, and market conditions permit. While no assurance can be provided that such objectives will be achieved, management believes these initiatives, together with continued growth of the Company's marine technology and recreational product platforms, may contribute to increased market visibility, improved liquidity, and broader investor participation over time.

**Holders of Common Stock**

As of March 30, 2026, the Company had approximately 385 shareholders of record.

**Dividends**

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any earnings, if any, to finance the growth of the business. We cannot assure you that we will ever pay cash dividends. Whether we pay any cash dividends in the future will depend on our financial condition, results of operations and other factors that the board of directors will consider.

**Reserve for Nomad Recall**

On December 22, 2022, the CPSC issued a recall notice for the Nomad tankless dive system, which is distributed by BLU3, Inc. As part of the recall procedure, the CPSC has approved the Company's proposed remedy for the recall and BLU3 will begin to receive units back from consumers to repair affected Nomad units. Additionally, BLU3 will re-start its manufacturing process for the Nomad tankless dive system utilizing the material and design changes approved during the recall process, and immediately re-establish the product in all of its sales channels. The Company has set an allowance for expenses related to this recall of $160,500. As of December 31, 2025, the Company deemed that all units effected by the recall have been serviced or are no longer in service and has reduced the recall allowance to $0.

**Results of Operations**

**Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024**

Overall, our net revenues decreased 7.99% in 2025 from 2024, which included an increase of 12.47% in sales to related parties. Our cost of revenues in 2025 was 62.60% of our total net revenues as compared to 59.55% in 2024. Included in our cost of revenues are royalty expenses we pay to Robert Carmichael which decreased 13.19% in 2025 from 2024. We reported a gross profit margin of 37.4% in 2025 as compared to 40.4% in 2024.

**Operating Expenses**

Operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses and research and development costs, are reported on a consolidated basis for our operating segments. Aggregate operating expenses decreased 14.3% for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

*Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (SG&A)*

SG&A decreased 14.13% for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. SG&A during those years were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Expense Item | 2025 | 2024 | % Change |
| Payroll | $1147805 | $1887910 | (39.2)% |
| Non-Cash Stock based compensation – options | 177078 | 151492 | 16.9% |

| Advertising | 367389 | 427037 | (14.4)% |
| All Others | 1020058 | 902105 | 12.8% |
| Total SG&A | $2955021 | $3573373 | (17.4)% |

---

Payroll decreased by 39.2% for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease can be attributed to controls on overtime expenses, changes in personnel and no year-end bonuses for SSI personnel.

Non-Cash Stock based compensation expenses increased 16.9 for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The reason for this increase is that the Board of Directors were issued stock for their accrued service for prior year and nine months of 2025. .

Professional fees, representing legal, accounting and other professional fees, which was paid in a combination of cash, common stock, or stock options, increased 18.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Accounting fees decreased 21.6% in 2025, due to the financial review for 2025 being done by one audit firm rather than two firms for the 2024 review. Legal fees increased 40.0% due to work in connection with a prior lease closing and ISO audit for SSI in 2025.

Advertising expense decreased 14.4% for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease is attributed to decreased expenses associated with trade shows, although direct and internet advertising by BTL, BLU3 and SSI increased in 2025.

Other expenses increased 12.8% for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily as a result of an increase in rent for both locations, new lease for BMG headquarters in , Davie, Florida and increase in repair and maintenance cost at the SSI facility in California.

*Research & Development Expenses (R&D Expenses)*

R&D expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 63.6% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease can be primarily attributed to the Company's focus on non-proprietary products.

**Other Expense**

For the year ended December 31, 2025, interest expenses totalled approximately $66,899 as compared to approximately $87,374 in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease can be attributed to a decrease in interest bearing debt. An income tax expense of $17,302 is included in other expenses for 2025. We had no taxes in prior years.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

We had cash of $307,885 on December 31, 2025. The following table summarizes total current assets, total current liabilities and working capital at December 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | December 31,<br> 2025 | December 31,<br> 2024 | % of Change |
| Total Current Assets | $3040113 | $3030924 | .30% |
| Total Current Liabilities | $2461039 | $2860748 | (14.0)% |
| Working Capital | $579074 | $170175 | 240.3% |

---

The small increase in our current assets on December 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024 primarily reflects increases in accounts receivable, decrease in expenses and increase in inventory of approximately $277,652 and decrease in prepaid expenses of $146,412.

The decrease in our total current liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 reflects a decrease in customer deposits of approximately $254,600, a decrease of approximately $9,055 related party accounts payable, an increase in the operating lease liabilities in connection with the lease for the Davie, Florida facility. These increases are offset by decreases in accounts payable of $90,420 and an increase in current maturities of long term debt of $104,667 and a decrease in other liabilities of $246,516.

| Net cash used in or provided by financing activities | $(75028) | $280022 |

---

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily the result of a net loss of $105,148 as well as an increase in amortization of right-of-use asset of $428,685, the decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $135,322, the increase in accounts receivable of $118,171, and the increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $284,785.

There was no cash provided by financing for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Going Concern**

Our audited consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. 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 loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 and that 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 $18,031,358 as of December 31, 2025. Despite a working capital surplus of $579,074 as of December 31, 2025, the accumulated losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to continue to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. 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 Estimates**

The Company's management discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of its assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related footnote disclosures. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates for product returns, bad debts, inventories, income taxes, warranty obligations, litigation and other subjective matters impacting the financial statements. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

***Allowance for Doubtful Accounts***

Allowances for doubtful accounts are estimated based on estimates of losses related to customer accounts receivable balances. Estimates are developed by using standard quantitative measures based on historical losses, adjusting for current economic conditions and, in some cases, evaluating specific customer accounts for risk of loss. The establishment of reserves requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding the potential for losses on receivable balances. Though the Company considers these balances adequate and proper, changes in economic conditions in specific markets in which the Company operates and any specific customer collection issues the Company identifies could have a favorable or unfavorable effect on required allowance balances.

***Inventories***

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in first-out method) or net realizable value. Management's judgment is required to determine the allowance for obsolete or excess inventory. Inventory on hand may exceed future demand either because the product is outdated or because the amount on hand is more than will be used to meet future needs. Inventory allowances are estimated by the individual operating companies using standard quantitative measures based on criteria established by the Company. Though the Company considers these reserve balances to be adequate, changes in economic conditions, customer inventory levels, or competitive conditions could have a favorable or unfavorable effect on required allowance balances.

***Deferred Taxes***

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination was made.

***Warranties***

The Company accrues a warranty reserve for estimated costs to provide warranty services. Warranty reserves are estimated using standard quantitative measures based on criteria established by the Company. Estimates of costs to service its warranty obligations are based on historical experience, expectation of future conditions and known product issues. To the extent the Company experiences increased warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, revisions to the estimated warranty reserve would be required. The Company engages in product quality programs and processes, including monitoring and evaluating the quality of its suppliers, to help minimize warranty obligations.

**Off balance Sheet Arrangements**

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures" as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluations as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, which results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2025 and based upon the such evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025 were not effective due to the material weaknesses identified below.

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional procedures to ensure the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

**Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the documents entitled "2015 Internal Controls – Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025 and that material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting described below existed.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCOAB") Audit Standard No. 5, 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 identified the following material weaknesses:

● There are an insufficient number and lack of qualified accounting department and administrative personnel and support;

● There are insufficient written policies and procedures to ensure the correct application of accounting and financial reporting with respect to GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;

● There is insufficient segregation of duties, oversight of work performed and lack of controls in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel;

● The Company's systems that impact financial information and disclosures have ineffective information technology controls;

● There are inadequate controls surrounding revenue recognition, to ensure that all material transactions and developments impacting the financial statements are reflected and properly recorded; and

● Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures was not sufficiently comprehensive due to limited personnel.

**Internal Control Remediation Efforts**.

Subject to sufficient resources, management expects to remediate the material weaknesses identified above as follows:

● Management has leveraged and will continue to leverage experienced consultants to assist with ongoing GAAP and SEC compliance requirements. We intend to expand our finance department through the hiring of a certified public accountant to strengthen the segregation of duties, internal controls and enhance our current staff.

● Segregation of duties will be analyzed and adjusted Company-wide, where possible. The Company is in the process of hiring additional personnel in the accounting department as part of the internal controls implementation and documentation of those controls and procedures.

● The Company plans on evaluating various accounting systems to enhance our system controls.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. We do not, however, expect that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we have added to our accounting and administrative staff allowing improved internal control over financial reporting.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that exempt smaller reporting companies from this requirement.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Committees of the Board of Directors**

We have not established an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee The entire Board participates in the nomination and audit oversight processes and considers executive and director compensation. Given the size of the Company, the entire Board is involved in such decision-making processes.

We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

We are not a "listed company" under SEC rules and therefore are not required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

4061 SW, 47<sup>th</sup> Avenue,

Davie, Florida 33314

***Opinion on the Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, and 2024 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended and the related consolidated notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025, and 2024 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

***Substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern***

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in Note 1 of the financial statements, the Company had a net loss of approximately $105,149 and cash used in operating activities of approximately $109,794 for the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as an accumulated deficit of approximately $18,031,358 as of December 31, 2025. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

***Basis for Opinion***

These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***CRITICAL AUDIT MATTER: INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL***

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

***Description of the Matter***

The Company is required to test the carrying amount of goodwill at least annually, or more frequently upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company is also required to assess the recoverability of its long-lived assets, including its amortizable intangible assets, whenever certain events occur, or circumstances change that may be indicators of impairment. We identified this area as a critical audit matter because the annual goodwill impairment test and the evaluation of recovery of long-lived assets requires significant judgment regarding the evaluation of qualitative factors. Additionally, these assessments also require appropriate determination of reporting units and asset groups, including the allocation of acquired tangible and intangible assets to such groupings. The evaluation of a certain asset group also required comparison of future non-discounted cash flows to the carrying value of the asset group, which required estimates of future cash flows associated with that asset group, including growth rates, profitability rates and estimates of other sources and uses of cash such as changes in working capital and capital expenditures.

***How we addressed the matter in our audit***

Our audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement relating to goodwill and intangible assets included, among others, obtaining an understanding of management's process for evaluating goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, including the identification of reporting units and asset groups. We evaluated the appropriateness of asset groupings at the reporting unit level and asset group level and assessed whether the groupings were consistent with the manner in which the business is managed and the underlying economic characteristics of the assets.

We evaluated management's assessment of qualitative factors associated with the reporting unit containing goodwill and associated with all relevant asset groups, including consideration of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, entity-specific events, and sustained changes that could affect the fair value of the reporting unit. Our procedures also included evaluating management's forecast of undiscounted cash flows associated with a certain asset group where a qualitative assessment indicated that further quantitative analysis was required.

We assessed the competence, independence, qualifications, experience, and capabilities of the third-party valuation specialist engaged by management. We evaluated the appropriateness and reasonableness of the valuation methodology and significant assumptions used, including growth rates, profitability rates, and estimates of working capital and capital expenditure requirements, by comparing them to external market data, historical performance, and industry benchmarks. We tested the calculation and forecast model for mathematical accuracy and validated the appropriateness and reliability of the underlying data inputs.

We further evaluated the adequacy of the financial statement disclosures relating to goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets, including the disclosure of key assumptions, methodologies, and significant judgments. As a result of our testing, we did not take exception to management's conclusion that no impairment should be recognized related to goodwill or long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material.

**BROWNIE'S MARINE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**

Note 1. <u>Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies</u>

<u>Description of business</u> – Brownie's Marine Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company, (1) designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving, scuba and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation organized in 1981 ("Trebor" or "BTL"), (2) manufactures and sells high pressure air and industrial compressor packages, yacht based scuba air compressor and nitrox generation systems through its wholly owned subsidiary Brownie's High Pressure Compressor Services, Inc., a Florida corporation organized in 2017 ("BHP"), doing business as LW Americas ("LWA") (3) develops and markets portable battery powered surface supplied air dive systems through its wholly owned subsidiary BLU3, Inc., a Florida corporation ("BLU3") and (4) manufactures and markets high-pressure tanks and redundant air systems for the military and recreational diving industries through its wholly owned subsidiary Submersible Systems, Inc ("SSI").

On February 13, 2022 the Company filed with the Florida Department of State, articles of incorporation for a new wholly owned subsidiary, Live Blue, Inc. ("LBI"). LBI utilizes technology developed by BLU3 to provide new users and interested divers a guided tour experience. On May 2, 2022, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Gold Coast Scuba, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Gold Coast Scuba"), Steven M. Gagas and William Frenier, the sole members of Gold Coast Scuba (together, the "LLC Members") and LBI. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, LBI acquired substantially all of Gold Coast Scuba's assets and assumed certain non-material liabilities of the business associated with these assets. In addition, LBI assumed the lease for the premises for Gold Coast Scuba as part of this asset acquisition. On September 17, 2024, the Company entered into an intellectual property rights and transfer agreement with a buyer of the IP assets of Gold Coast Scuba which resulted in the sale of the retail portion of the LBI business.

<u>Basis of Presentation</u> – The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

<u>Definition of fiscal year</u> – The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.

<u>Principles of Consolidation</u> -The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Trebor, BHP, BLU3, SSI and LBI. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

<u>Use of estimates</u> – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Going Concern – The accompanying 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 issuance of these financial statements. We incurred a net loss of 105,149 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and a net loss of $240,599 for year ended December 31, 2024. The Company had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2025 of $18,031,358.

The Company believes that existing operational cash flow may not be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months after the date that the financial statements were issued. Therefore, the Company will seek to continue to raise additional funds as needed and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing including commercial banks and other lending institutions. The Company has issued common stock and has historically issued convertible notes to finance working capital needs and may continue to seek to raise additional capital through sale of common stock or other securities or obtaining short term loans. The Company has no firm commitment for any additional capital and there are no assurances it will be successful in obtaining additional funds or on terms favorable to the Company.

If the Company fails to raise additional funds when needed, or does not have sufficient cash flows from sales, it may be required to scale back or cease operations, liquidate assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

<u>Cash and equivalents</u> – Only highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000 per entity. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had approximately $55,000 and $85,000, respectively, in excess of the FDIC insured limit.

<u>Accounts receivable</u> – The Company manufactures and sells its products to a broad range of customers, primarily retail stores. Few customers are provided with payment terms of 30 days. The Company has tracked historical loss information for its trade receivables and compiled historical credit loss percentages for different aging categories (current, 1–30 days past due, 31–60 days past due, 61–90 days past due, and more than 90 days past due).

In accordance with ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), management believes that the historical loss information it has compiled is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables held at December 31, 2025, because the composition of the trade receivables at that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages (i.e., the similar risk characteristics of its customers and its lending practices have not changed significantly over time). As a result, management applied the applicable credit loss rates to determine the expected credit loss estimate for each aging category. Accordingly, the allowances for doubtful accounts totaled $20,552 and $23,490 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

<u>Inventory</u> – The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in first-out method) or net realizable value. Management's judgment is required to determine the allowances for obsolete or excess inventory. Inventory on hand may exceed future demand either because the product is outdated or because the amount on hand is more than will be used to meet future needs. Inventory allowances are estimated by the individual operating companies using standard quantitative measures based on criteria established by the Company. Though the Company considers these allowance balances to be adequate, changes in economic conditions, customer inventory levels or competitive conditions could have a favorable or unfavorable effect on required allowance balances.

<u>Property and equipment and leasehold improvements</u> – Property and equipment and leasehold improvement is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or term of the lease, which are primarily 3 to 5 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).

The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.

Goodwill

The Company records goodwill when the consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, including related tax effects. Goodwill is not amortized; instead, goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. The Company first assesses qualitative factors such as macro-economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors as well as other relevant events, to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company determines that the fair value is less than the carrying value, the Company will recognize an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no such impairment.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, trademarks and non-compete agreements acquired in a business combination. The Company amortizes intangible assets with a definitive life over their respective useful lives. Assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist.

Unlike goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the accounting rules do not provide for an annual impairment test in determining whether fixed assets (e.g., property, plant, and equipment) and finite-lived intangible assets (e.g., customer lists) are impaired. Instead, they require that a triggering event occur before testing an asset for impairment. Once a triggering event has occurred, the impairment test employed is based on whether the intent is to hold the asset for continued use or to hold the asset for sale. If the intent is to hold the asset for continued use, the impairment test involves a comparison of undiscounted cash flows against the carrying value of the asset as an initial test. If the carrying value of such asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flow, the asset would be deemed to be impaired. Impairment would then be measured as the difference between the fair value of the fixed or amortizing intangible asset and the carrying value to determine the amount of the impairment. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no such impairment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations in contracts with customers upon shipment of the goods. Generally, payment is due upon receipt of the invoice and the contracts do not have significant financing components. Product sales occur once control or title is transferred based on the commercial terms. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Product sales are recorded net of variable consideration, such as provisions for returns, discounts and promotional allowances. Such provisions are calculated based on the actual allowances given. Management believes that adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns, spoilage and promotional allowances based on the Company's historical experience.

A breakdown of the total revenue between related party and non-related party revenue is as follows:

Schedule of related Party and Non-related Party Revenue

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Revenues | $6879759 | $7603378 |
| Revenues - related parties | 636928 | 566291 |
| Total Revenues | $7516687 | $8169669 |

---

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists of the cost of the components of finished goods, the costs of raw materials utilized in the manufacture of products, in-bound and out-bound freight charges, direct manufacturing labor as well as certain internal transfer costs, warehouse expenses incurred prior to the manufacture of the Company's finished products, inventory allowance for excess and obsolete products, and royalties paid on licensing agreements. Components account for the largest portion of the cost of sales. Components include plastic molded parts, gas powered engines, aluminium pressure bottles, electronic parts, batteries and packaging materials.

The breakdown of cost of sales to include cost of sales for related party and non-related party as well as the related party and non-related party royalty expense is as follows:

Schedule of Related Party and Non-related Party Cost of Revenue

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cost of revenues | $4302597 | $4461167 |
| Cost of revenues - related parties | 265398 | 227668 |
| Royalty expense - related parties | 44497 | 51256 |
| Royalty expense | 92847 | 125159 |
| Total cost of revenues | $4705339 | $4865250 |

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include selling expenses such as warehousing expenses after manufacture, as well as expenses for advertising, and other marketing expenses. Operating expenses also include such costs as payroll costs, travel costs, professional service fees (including legal fees), depreciation and other general and administrative costs.

Lease Accounting

We account for leases in accordance with ASC 842.

The lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. We did not reassess whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases or contain leases.

We categorize leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance leases. 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and three to six 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. 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.

Detailed information on leases can be found in Note 15.

<u>Product development costs</u> – Product development expenditures are charged to expenses as incurred.

<u>Advertising and marketing costs</u> – The Company expenses the costs of producing advertisements and marketing material at the time production occurs, and expenses the costs of communicating advertisements and participating in trade shows in the period in which they occur. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled $367,389 and $427,037, respectively.

<u>Research and development costs</u> – The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, *Research and Development* ("ASC 730-10"). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred research and development costs of $3,638 and $9,992, respectively.

<u>Customer deposits and unearned revenue and returns policy</u> – The Company typically takes a minimum 50% deposit against large tankfill systems prior to ordering and/or building the systems. It will also take deposits for large rescue tank orders for both domestic and international customers. The remaining balance due is payable upon delivery, shipment, or installation of the system. Additionally, returns of all other merchandise are subject to a 15% restocking fee as stated on each sales invoice. Customer deposits totaled $156,036 and $410,636 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

<u>Warranty policy</u> – Under the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 460, *Guarantor's Guarantees*, the Company accrues a liability for estimated warranty policy costs based on standard quantitative measures based on criteria established by the Company. Estimates of costs to service its warranty obligations are based on historical experience, expectation of future conditions and known product issues. To the extent the Company experiences increased warranty claim activity or increased costs associated with servicing those claims, revisions to the estimated warranty reserve would be required. The Company engages in product quality programs and processes, including monitoring and evaluating the quality of its suppliers, to help minimize warranty obligations. The Company provides its customers with an industry standard one year warranty on systems sold and recognizes a warranty allowance based on gross sales multiplied by the historical warranty expense return rate. The warranty allowance charged to cost of net revenues and is included in accrued expenses and is deemed sufficient to absorb any material or labor costs that might be incurred on sales recorded during the period. The Company recorded a allowance for warranty work of $40,468 and $40,468 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

<u>Income taxes</u> – The Company accounts for its income taxes under the assets and liabilities method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent the Company believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets that do not meet the criteria for recognition. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, it would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

The Company follows the accounting guidance which provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized initially and in subsequent periods. Also included is guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

<u>Stock-based compensation</u> – The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued on the effective date of the agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which includes determination of the fair value of the share-based transaction. The fair value is determined through use of the quoted stock price.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized share based compensation with a fair value of $208,245 and $151,492 respectively.

<u>Usage of Authorized but Unissued Shares of Common Stock</u> - The Company has issued options, warrants and convertible promissory notes which are convertible into shares of common stock in certain situations the total of which exceeds the current authorization. The Company has adopted a policy for the sequence of usage of remaining authorized but unissued shares of common stock (the "Sequencing Policy") which outlines the order in which the conversion of these equity-linked instruments may be settled in shares. Under the Company's Sequencing Policy, the most recently issued equity-linked securities, including stock options, warrants, and convertible promissory notes, are settled in shares first.

<u>Fair value of financial instruments</u> – Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model- derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes "observable" requires significant judgment by the Company. Management considers observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, provided by multiple, independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the Company's perceived risk of that investment.

At December 31, 2025, and 2024, the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accounts payable-related parties, customer deposits and unearned revenue, other liabilities, lease liabilities, loans payable and convertible debentures, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

<u>Loss per common share</u> – Basic loss per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted- average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted loss 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 December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 474,856,113 and 438,937,858, respectively, potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These shares reflect shares potentially issuable under convertible note agreements, outstanding warrants, outstanding stock options and the conversion of preferred stock.

New accounting pronouncements

ASU 2016-13 Current Expected Credit Loss (ASC326)

In December 2021, the FASB issued an update to ASU No. 2016-13 the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) standard (ASC 326), which is designed to provide greater transparency and understanding of credit risk by incorporating estimated, forward-looking data when measuring lifetime Estimated Credit Losses (ECL) and requires enhanced financial statement disclosures. This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023, with no effect to the financial statements.

ASU 2020-06 Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity's Own Equity.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity's Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon adoption or are not applicable*.*

Options

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has issued no options under equity compensation plan. Upon exercise, shares of common stock are issued by the Company.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized an expense of approximately $16,200 and $91,492, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense (included in General and Administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations) determined by application of a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs: exercise price, dividend yields, risk-free interest rate, and expected annual volatility. The Company uses straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period for time-based options. For performance-based options the Company evaluates the likelihood of a vesting qualification being met, and will establish the expense based on that evaluation. The maximum contractual term of the Company's stock options is 5 years. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Options to purchase approximately 5,806,266 shares have vested as of December 31, 2025.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock option awards and warrant issuances. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the Company's stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:

Schedule of Valuation Assumptions of Options

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Year ended December 31,** | **Year ended December 31,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |
| Expected volatility | 249.0% - 339.4 | 266.0% - 346.4 |
| Expected term | .5 – 4.5 Years | 1.5 - 5.0 Years |
| Risk-free interest rate | 0.16% - 2.58 | 0.21% - 3.18 |
| Forfeiture Rate | 0% | 2.2% |

---

The expected volatility was determined with reference to the historical volatility of the Company's stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of grant.

Note 14. <u>Income Taxes</u>

The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such determination was made.

The components of the provision for income tax expense are as follows for the years ended:

The Company is obligated to pay STS a minimum yearly royalty of $60,000, or $15,000 per fiscal quarter, beginning in December 2019 and increasing by 2.15% per year. The minimum royalty was temporarily increased to $60,000 for fiscal years 2022, 2023 and 2024, with a fourth quarter true up against earned royalties. In addition, if the Company terminates the Agreement with STS prior to December 31, 2023, the Company is obligated to pay STS $180,000, less cumulative royalties paid in excess of $200,174 for the years 2019 through 2024.
