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

Basis of Presentation –

The following unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance withpursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, such interim financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion for complete annual financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of management all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to give a fair presentation of operating results for the periods presented have been included.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016items which are, unaudited and, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 has been derived from the Company’s annual financial statements that were audited by an independent registered public accounting firm but does not include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessarythe information and footnotes required for complete annual financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which are included in our 2019 10-K for a broader discussion of our business and the risks inherent in such business.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Cash and cash equivalents

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

The Company maintains its cash balance with various financial institutions. Balances in the institutions may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limits. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has approximately $311,000 in excess of FDIC limits.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of all of our products to present fairlywholesale and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts are estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge. The allowances for doubtful accounts totaled $15,999 and $17,784 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists of the financial positionraw material, parts that make up the items that we manufacture, and finished goods. For the year ended December 31, 2019, The Company recorded reserves for obsolete or slow moving inventory of approximately $175,957. No additional reserve for obsolete or slowing moving inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Revenue Recognition

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

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

Lease Accounting

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new lease standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the lease accounting standard in effect for those periods.

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. 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 September 30, 2017,2020. Our leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for property. We elected the resultsaccounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of operationsour agreements as a single component and account for them as a lease.

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

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

For the nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019 the lease expense was approximately $98,000 and the statements of cash flows for$98,000. For the nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 20172020 and 2016. 2019 cash paid for operating liabilities was approximately $95,000 and $92,000, respectively

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:

Employee Stock-Based Compensation:

The condensedCompany accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The Company has elected to adopt Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 and has a policy to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation:

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-7”), which aligns accounting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718, with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equity-based payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated resultsfinancial statements.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which aligns accounting for share-based payments issued to nonemployees to that of operationsemployees under the existing guidance of Topic 718, with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equity-based payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

All issuances of stock options or other equity instruments to non-employees as consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. Non-employee equity-based payments are recorded as an expense over the service period, as if the Company had paid cash for the services. At the end of each financial reporting period, prior to vesting or prior to the completion of the services, the fair value of the equity-based payments will be re-measured and the non-cash expense recognized during the period will be adjusted accordingly. Since the fair value of equity-based payments granted to non-employees is subject to change in the future, the amount of the future expense will include fair value re-measurements until the equity-based payments are fully vested or the service completed.

Earnings per common share

Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 175,134,884 of potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019, 103,812,893 of potentially dilutive shares were not recognized as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The stock options are not necessarily indicative ofexercisable at prices ranging from $.018 to $.045. The exercise price on warrants was $.01. The convertible notes are convertible at the resultsexercise prices ranging from $.01 to be expected$.012.

Diluted earnings per share for the entire year. The consolidated balance sheetthree months ending September 30, 2020 is calculated as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company’s Form 10-K which was filed on April 17, 2017.follows:

Definition of fiscal yearRecent accounting pronouncements – The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity withrecent accounting principles generally accepted instandards that have been issued or proposed by the United States of America requires managementFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date ofhave a material impact on the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.upon adoption.

Note 3. Going Concern

Reclassifications– Certain reclassifications may have been made to the 2016 financial statement amounts and disclosures to conform to the 2017 financial statement presentation.

Going Concern – The accompanying condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these consolidated financial statements.

Although the Company had net income for For the nine months ended September 30, 20172020 the Company incurred a net loss of $654,200, of which $1,025,691 is non-cash stock related compensation. At September 30, 2020 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $12,258,718. Despite a working capital surplus of approximately $770,000 at September 30, 2020, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and 2014, we have otherwise incurred annual losses since 2009,to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and expect we may have more losses in future periods.cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4. Cash and equivalentsRelated Party Transactions – Only highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash and equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates market value.

BROWNIE’S MARINE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from the sale of all of our products to wholesale and retail customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge, as of September 30, 2017, the allowance for bad debts is $22,713.

Inventory– Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Company’s management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when indicated.

Property, equipment and leasehold improvements – Property, equipment and leasehold improvements are 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.

Revenue recognition – Revenues from product sales are recognized when the Company’ssells products are shipped or when service is rendered. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, when applicable, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost of each contract. This method is used because management considers the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts. As of September 30, 2017, there were no ongoing contracts being accounted for using the percentage of completion method.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Change in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Revenue and costs incurred for time and material projects are recognized as the work is performed.

Product development costs – Product development expenditures are charged to expenses as incurred.

Advertising and marketing costs – 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 occur. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, totaled $760 and $313, respectively.Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, was $12,730and $3,550, respectively.

Research and development costs– 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 three month periods ending September 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company incurred $12,730 and $10, respectively, of expenses related to research and development costs. During the nine month periods ending September 30, 2017 and 2016 the Company incurred $13,935 and $1,425, respectively, of expenses related to research and development costs.

BROWNIE’S MARINE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Customer deposits and returns policy – The Company takes a minimum 50% deposit against custom and large tankfill systems prior to ordering and/or building the systems. The remaining balance due is payable upon delivery, shipment, or installation of the system. There is no provision for cancellation of custom orders once the deposit is accepted, nor return of the custom ordered product. Additionally, returns of all other merchandise are subject to a 15% restocking fee as stated on each sales invoice. The Company provides our customers with an industry standard one year warranty on systems sold. Historically, the cost of our warranty policy has been immaterial, and no reserve has been established.

Income taxes – 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, they 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.

Comprehensive income – The Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income equals comprehensive income for all periods presented.

Stock-based compensation – 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.

Beneficial conversion features on convertible debentures – The fair value of the stock upon which beneficial conversion feature (BCF) computations, as applicable, was determined through use of the quoted stock price.

Fair value of financial instruments – 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.

BROWNIE’S MARINE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related parties, customer deposits and unearned revenue, royalties payable – related parties, other liabilities, notes payable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Earnings per common share – Basic earnings per share exclude any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive and common stock equivalent shares, if any, outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive.Potentially dilutive shares are included in dilutive earnings per share totaled 58,156,862 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

New accounting pronouncements – In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,“Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”ASU 2016- provides guidance regarding the classification of certain items within the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, other than presentation, or financial condition.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606): identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments in this Update are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which relates to the accounting for employee share-based payments. This standard addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases, which will amend current lease accounting to require lessees to recognize (i) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (ii) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 does not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors; however, certain changes were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330),Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. ASU No. 2015-11 does not apply to inventory measurement using the last-in, last-out (LIFO) or retail methods. ASU No. 2015-11 applies to all other inventory measurement methods, which includes first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. Previously, inventory valuation was at the lower of cost or fair market value. This ASU changes the valuation to lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of the business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted. The Company opted for early adoption of ASU 2015-11 this period with no impact to financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company updated its consolidated financial statements to reflect inventory valuation at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

The Company believes there was no other new accounting guidance adopted, but not yet effective that either has not already been disclosed in prior reporting periods or is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.
