1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of business - Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “BWMG”) designs, tests, manufactures and distributes recreational hookah diving, yacht based scuba air compressor and Nitrox Generation Systems, and scuba and water safety products through its wholly owned subsidiary Trebor Industries, Inc. The Company sells its products both on a wholesale and retail basis, and does so from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Company does business as (dba) Brownie’s Third Lung, the dba name of Trebor Industries, Inc.

Prior to August 22, 2007 the Company was known as United Companies Corporation (hereinafter referred to as “UCC”). The Company changed its name to Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc. during the third quarter of 2007 since it believes “Brownie’s Marine Group” more closely reflects its line of business, and it also brings brand recognition to the Company as a result of its existing products.

History -The Company was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on November 26, 2001, with authorized common stock of 250,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001. On August 22, 2007, the Company effectuated a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of the Common Stock whereby every one hundred shares of Common Stock outstanding was combined and reduced to one share of Common Stock. Fractional shares were rounded up and this resulted in an additional 146 shares issued. All footnotes and financial statement amounts that relate to common share data have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

On March 23, 2004, UCC consummated an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Trebor Industries, Inc., dba Brownies Third Lung, in exchange for 950,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“the UCC Transaction”). Prior to the UCC Transaction, UCC was a non-operating public shell company with no operations, nominal assets, accrued liabilities totaling $224,323 and 144,837 shares of common stock issued and outstanding; and Trebor Industries, Inc., dba Brownies Third Lung, was a manufacturer and distributor of hookah diving, and yacht based scuba air compressor and Nitrox Generation Systems from its factory in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The UCC Transaction is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. Inasmuch, the UCC Transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Trebor Industries, Inc., for the net monetary assets of a non-operational public shell company, accompanied by a recapitalization. UCC issued 950,000 shares of its common stock for all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Trebor Industries, Inc. The accounting for the UCC Transaction is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except goodwill or other intangible assets will not be recorded. Accordingly, these financial statements are the historical financial statements of Trebor Industries, Inc. Trebor Industries, Inc. was incorporated in September 17, 1981. Therefore, these financial statements reflect activities from September 17, 1981 (Date of Inception for Trebor Industries, Inc.) and forward.

Definition of fiscal year - The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Use of estimates - 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.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 financial statement amounts to conform to the 2008 financial statement presentation.

1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)

Cash and 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.

Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. 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 required.

Fixed assets - Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is primarily 3 to 5 years except for the building that is being depreciated over a life of 39 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’s products are shipped or when service is rendered. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, 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.

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 recognizes advertising expenses in accordance with Statement of Position 93-7 “Reporting on Advertising Costs.” Accordingly, the Company expenses the costs of producing advertisements at the time production occurs, and expenses the costs of communicating advertisements in the period in which the advertising space or airtime is used. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, was $7,102 and $4,243, respectively. Advertising and trade show expense incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, was $24,861 and $12,597, respectively.

Customer deposits and return 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 has been 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.

1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)

Income taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, (“FIN 48”) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 requires the recognition of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company adopted FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007 without significant financial impact.

Comprehensive income (loss) - The Company has no components of other comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income (loss) equals comprehensive income (loss) for all periods.

Stock-based compensation - The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 revised that requires that the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.

The Company did not issue any stock, warrants or options to employees for compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Fair value of financial instruments - The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature.

Earnings (loss) per common share - Basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. All common stock equivalent shares were included in the computation for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007respectively, since their effect was dilutive. All common stock equivalent shares were excluded in the computation for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, since their effect was antidilutive.

1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)

New accounting pronouncements - In May 2008, FASB issued Financial Accounting Statement (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The GAAP hierarchy is currently set forth in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, the Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Auditing Standards No. 69 is (1) directed to the auditor, (2) is complex, and (3) ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as the FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Statements, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and instead of being directed to the auditor, should be directed to entities since they are responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in accordance with GAAP. This statement is to become effective 60 days following the Security and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) approval of the Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect any significant financial impact upon adoption of SFAS No. 162.

In May 2008, the FASB issued STAFF POSITION (“FSP”) No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement”. This FSP applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FSP No. 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, this FSP specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost recognized in subsequent periods. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not currently have any debt instruments for which this FSP would apply and does not expect to have any significant financial impact upon adoption in January 2009. Early adoption is not permitted.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This statement is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in SFAS No. 133. Under SFAS No. 161, entities will have to provide disclosures about (a) how and why and entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c), how derivative instruments and related hedged items effect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for all financial statements issued for fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Since the Company does not currently have any derivative instruments, nor does it engage in hedging activities, the Company expects to have no significant financial impact as a result of adoption of SFAS No. 161.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for the Company with respect to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. The Company does not currently anticipate a significant financial impact upon adoption of SFAS No. 141.

1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)

New accounting pronouncements (continued) - In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110 (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 relates to the use of the “simplified” method, as discussed in SAB No.107 (“SAB 107”), in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share option in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. The Staff’s view in SAB 107 was that it did not expect companies to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007 since it believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior would be available to companies by this date. Since this is not true in all cases, SAB 110 states that under certain circumstances, the Staff will continue to accept the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and does not anticipate it will have significant financial impact

The Company has Non-Exclusive License Agreements with 940 Associates, Inc. (herein referred to as “940AI”), an entity owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to license product patents it owns. Under the terms of the license agreements effective January 1, 2005, the Company pays 940AI $2.00 per licensed product sold, rates increasing 5% annually. Also with 940AI, the Company has an Exclusive License Agreement to license the trademark “Brownies Third Lung”, “Tankfill”, “Brownies Public Safety” and various other related trademarks as listed in the agreement. Based on this license agreement, the Company pays 940AI 2.5% of gross revenues per quarter.

Total royalty expense for the above agreements for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, was $23,675 and $23,337, respectively. Total royalty expense for the above agreements for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, was $101,816 and $72,295, respectively.

Jeff Morris, a greater than 10% beneficial owner of common stock of the Company, provides management and strategic consulting services for BWMG. For these services, Mr. Morris earned $30,000, and $30,000, from the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007, Mr. Morris earned $90,000, and $90,000, respectively.

Effective July 31, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Robert Carmichael, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and largest shareholder, pursuant to which the Company acquired a granted European and pending U.S. Patent relating to active control releasable ballast systems for diving equipment ( the “Intellectual Property”) and certain contracts related to the Intellectual Property (the “Contracts”). The Contracts included a non-exclusive licensing agreement with a third party for a fee of $228,000. The Intellectual Property and Contracts are collectively referred to as the “Assets”. Per the stated terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Assets was $297,000, consisting of issuance of 100,000 of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and $15,000. The number of shares was determined based on the average closing price of the common stock as reported on the “OTCBB” for the 12 month period ending three days prior to the Effective Date, ($2.82 per share). For financial reporting purposes, the value of the Assets consists of the cash consideration delivered at closing under current Contracts and Mr. Carmichael’s historical cost for the Assets if the stock price on the date of the transaction supports valuation in excess of the cash exchange value. Since the average price of the stock exchanged on the transaction day was less than the cash exchange value, the Contract fee receivable was valued at $213,000, the cash exchange value ($228,000 received under contract, less the $15,000 paid), thereby resulting in zero value attributed to the acquired Intellectual Property.

The fee received in July 2008 under the non-exclusive license fee referenced above was used to reduce certain Company debt, such as the related party note payable due to 940 Associates, Inc. of approximately $181,000 was retired, and the Company paid down the related party note payable to Robert M. Carmichael by approximately $35,000.

On August 11, 2008, the related party note due Robert M. Carmichael was restructured. The $350,000 restructured note represents a reduction in the annual interest rate from 10% to 7.5%, an acceleration of the maturity date from January 15, 2016 to August 1, 2013, and an increase in the monthly note payment from $6,047 to $7,050. Additionally, the restructured note is uncollateralized and eliminated the late payment penalty clause.

9.	OTHER LIABILITIES

Other liabilities of $3,351 at September 30, 2008 consist of on-line training liability. Other liabilities of $9,477 at December 31, 2007 consist of $6,538 of on-line training liability, and $2,939 of deferred tooling expense.

Effective July 1, 2005, the Company began including on-line training certificates with all hookah units sold. The training certificates entitle the holder to an on-line interactive course at no additional charge to the holder. The number of on-line training certificates issued per unit is the same as the number of divers the unit as sold is designed to accommodate (i.e., a three diver unit configuration comes with three on-line training certificates). The certificates have an eighteen-month redemption life after which time they expire. The eighteen-month life of the certificates begins at the time the customer purchases the unit. The Company owes the on-line training vendor the agreed upon negotiated rate for all on-line certificates redeemed payable at the time of redemption. For certificates that expire without redemption, no amount is due the on-line training vendor. The Company had no historical data with regard to the percentage of certificates that would be redeemed versus those that would expire. Therefore, until the Company accumulated historical data related to the certificate redemption ratio, it assumed that 100% of certificates issued with unit sales would be redeemed. Accordingly, at the time a unit was sold, the related on-line training liability was recorded. The same liability was reduced as certificates are redeemed and the related payments are made to the on-line training vendor.

In July 2007, the Company had accumulated 24 months of historical data regarding redemption rates so the liability estimate was adjusted accordingly to reflect the actual redemption history. On a go forward basis the Company is maintaining a reserve for certificate redemption of 10% that approximates the historical redemption rate.

12.	STOCK WARRANTS

As of March 31, 2007, all the rights to exercise 285,714 warrants had vested pursuant to a Warrant agreement dated January 1, 2005. The exercise price of the warrants is $.7 per share, which equaled the bid/ask price of the Company’s common stock on January 1, 2005, the effective date of the expired consulting agreement. The warrants expire twenty-four months after the vesting date of each of tranche of 71,429 at June 30, 2007, December 31, 2007, June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2008, respectively. Further, the warrants have “piggy-back” registration rights and provide for either a cash or cashless exercise. The cashless exercise provision provides for a discount in the amount of shares provided at exercise based on a formula that takes into account as one of its factors the average of the closing sale price on the common stock for five trading days immediately prior to but not including the date of exercise.

On June 29, 2007 a warrant tranche of 71,429 related to the above agreement was exercised. The cashless exercise was elected, and accordingly, 56,894 shares of common stock were issued. On December 28, 2007, an additional warrant tranche of 71,429 related to the above agreement was exercised. The cashless exercise was elected, and accordingly, 27,181 shares of common stock were issued. The Company recognized compensation expense for the stock warrants ratably over the term of the consulting agreement, January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2006, based on the fair value of the stock warrants using the Black-Scholes model. As a result, issuance of the stock in June and December 2007 were equity only transactions. On June 30, 2008, a warrant tranche of 71,429 expired without being exercised.

13.	EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

On August 22, 2007 the Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Directors, and Consultants in the form of Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options. Stock Purchase Rights, time vested and/performance invested Restricted Stock, and Stock Appreciation Rights and Unrestricted Shares may also be granted under the Plan. The initial maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan shall be 400,000 shares, and no more than 100,000 Shares of Common Stock may be granted to any one Participant with respect to Options, Stock Purchase Rights and Stock Appreciation Rights during any one calendar year period. Common Stock to be issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued or shares held in treasury by the Company. The term of the Plan shall be ten years. The Board of Directors may amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time. No Options, Stock Purchase Rights or Stock Appreciation Rights were granted under the Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

15.	PRODUCT RECALL

In September 2008, the Company issued a voluntary product recall as a result of an internal engineering audit. Some inconsistencies were discovered with some components used in the direct drive low-pressure (hookah) compressors. These inconsistencies may result in premature wear of the compressor components and possible cessation of air flow and affected certain units manufactured since July 2007. Further details regarding the product recall are available on the Company’s website, browniedive.com, Technical Bulletin 080909. As a result, shipments were temporarily suspended during part of the third quarter of 2008 to address the recall. Recall costs were included as part of fixed labor costs since the majority of products that were the subject of the recall passed inspection without any replacement of components necessary.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008, As Compared To the Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

Net revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had net revenues of $762,945 as compared to net revenues of $850,471 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $87,526, or 10.29%. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in low pressure hookah system sales resulting from an engineering product recall in September 2008. This recall resulted in a significant decline in hookah sales during September 2008 while the problem was being resolved. During this time period, recalled units were given priority status, inspected and corrections made if necessary, resulting in the delay of new product shipments during September 2008. Subsequent to the recall, new products manufactured contained an engineering modification that corrected the problem going forward. Shipments of previously affected products resumed as normal toward the later part of September 2008. For more information on the product recall refer to the Notes to the Financial Statements and Technical Bulletin 080909 posted on the Company’s website, www.browniedive.com

Cost of net revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had cost of net revenues of $559,335 as compared to cost of net revenues of $563,934 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $4,599, or .82%. Cost of net revenues was fairly consistent between the two periods despite the fact that material cost usually fluctuates in direct relationship to net revenues. However, this did not occur in the third quarter of 2008 with material cost as percentage of net revenues increasing approximately 2.5% over the same period in 2007. This increase was primarily due to material cost increases without corresponding sales price increases during the period. The Company plans to reevaluate sales prices on products after year end and adjust them as warranted. Recall costs were included as part of fixed labor costs since the majority of products that were the subject of the recall passed inspection without any replacement of components necessary.

Gross profit. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had a gross profit of $203,610 as compared to gross profit of $286,537 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $82,927, or 28.94%. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007.

Operating expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had total operating expenses of $278,672 as compared to total operating expenses of $256,916 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $21,756, or 8.47%. The increase is not primarily attributable to any significant items but rather is representative of an across the board increase in most all operating expenses, some to support sales (including but not limited to telephone, travel, advertising, and credit card charges), and others as a function of the increase in the overall cost of supplies and services (including by not limited to office supplies, auto expense, utilities, repairs and maintenance , and insurance expense).

Other expense, net. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had other expense, net of $18,188 as compared to other expense, net of $38,259 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $20,071, or 52.46%. This account is comprised of other (income) expense and interest expense. Interest expense for the period decreased $15,489 primarily as a result of pay down and retirement of some related party debt at the beginning of August 2008. Other net expense (income) declined for the period by $4,582 primarily as a result of an insurance premium adjustment of approximately $6,000 assessed in the third quarter of 2007 without a comparable assessment for the same period in 2008.

Provision for income tax (benefit) expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had a provision for income tax benefit of $29,895, as compared to a provision of income tax expense of $39,874 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase in provision for income tax benefit of $69,769, or 174.97%. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in net loss before provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007, as well as a deferred tax asset adjustment in the third quarter of 2007 without comparable adjustment during the same period in 2008.

Net (loss) income. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we had net loss of $63,355 as compared to net loss of $48,512 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase in net loss of $14,843, or 30.60%. The increase is attributable to a decrease in gross profit of $82,927, an increase in operating expenses of $21,756, a decrease in other expenses of $20,071, and an increase in the provision for income tax benefit of $69,769.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008, As Compared To the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

Net revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had net revenues of $3,686,819 as compared to net revenues of $2,653,037 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $1,033,782, or 38.97%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in low pressure hookah system sales and related products of approximately $200,000 and an increase in high pressure tankfill system sales of approximately $825,000. The increase in hookah system sales and related products of $200,000 was comprised primarily of increased sales of recreational and electric hookah systems, built in low pressure systems, and hose reels systems. The increase in tankfill system sales was primarily attributable to three large custom tankfill projects completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 that contributed approximately $970,000 to revenue for the period, whereas in the same period in 2007 custom tank fill projects contributed approximately $210,000 to revenue, a $760,000 increase in the current period. With regard to non-custom tankfill systems, there was an approximate increase of $65,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

Cost of net revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had cost of net revenues of $2,323,124 as compared with cost of net revenues of $1,726,165 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $596,959, or 34.58%. The increase was primarily to support the increase in sales volume for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to same period in 2007. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of net revenues was down approximately 2%. This net decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in costs attributable to the sales mix that included the large custom tankfill sales completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 without comparable sales contributing to the mix for the same period of 2007, and an increase in an overall material costs.

Gross profit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had gross profit of $1,363,695 as compared to gross profit of $926,872 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $436,823, or 47.13%. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in net revenues coupled with the decrease in cost of net revenues (as a percentage of net revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007.

Operating expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had total operating expenses of $840,861 as compared to total operating expenses of $763,377 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $77,524, or 10.16%. The increase is not primarily attributable to a few significant items, but rather is representative of an across the board increase in most all operating expenses, some to support the increase in sales (including but not limited to telephone, travel, advertising, and credit card charges), and others as a function of the increase in the overall cost of supplies and services (including but not limited to office supplies, auto expense, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and insurance expense).

Other expense, net. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had other expense, net of $87,919 as compared to other expense, net of $33,412 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $54,507, or 163.14%. The increase is primarily attributable to recognition of approximately $55,000 worth of other income in the second quarter of 2007 for online training certificates expiring unused, and the training liability estimate being adjusted downward to reflect the accumulated historical redemption rate. There was no comparable recognition of other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Provision for income tax (benefit) expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had provision for income tax expense of $177,955, as compared to provision for income tax expense of $9,936 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $168,019, or 1,691.01%. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in net income before provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Net (loss) income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we had net income of $256,960 as compared to net income of $120,187 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $136,773, or 113.8%. The increase is attributable to the increase in gross profit of $436,823, offset by the increases in operating expenses of $77,524, other expenses of $54,507, and the provision for income tax expense of $168,019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2008, we had cash and other current assets of $1,109,889 and current liabilities of $859,152, or a current ratio of 1.29%.

The Company anticipates that cash generated from operations should be sufficient to satisfy the Company’s contemplated requirements for its current operations for at least the next twelve months. The Company does not anticipate any significant purchases of equipment during fiscal year 2008. The number and level of employees at September 30, 2008 is deemed adequate to maintain the Company's operations for at least the next 12 months.

Certain Business Risks

The Company is subject to various risks, which may materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase the Company’s common stock. These are not the only risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of the Company’s common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May Fluctuate Significantly

Our common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. There is a limited public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop. As a result, this could adversely affect our shareholders’ ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or possibly at all. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than common stock traded in an active public market. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). 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.

We Depend On the Services of Our Chief Executive Officer

Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of Robert M. Carmichael, our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Carmichael has been instrumental in securing our existing financing arrangements. Mr. Carmichael is primarily responsible for the development of our technology and the design of our products. The loss of the services of Mr. Carmichael could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to recruit and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. We do not presently maintain a key-man life insurance policy on Mr. Carmichael.

We Require Additional Personnel and Could Fail To Attract or Retain Key Personnel

Our continued growth depends on our ability to attract and retain a Chief Financial Officer, a Chief Operations Officer, and additional skilled associates. We are currently utilizing the services of two professional consultants in the absence of a Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operations Officer. The loss of the services of these consultants prior to our ability to attract and retain a Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operations Officer may have a material adverse effect upon us. Also, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our existing personnel or attract additional qualified associates in the future.

Our Failure to Obtain Intellectual Property and Enforce Protection Would 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, entities owned and controlled by Robert M. Carmichael, our President and Chief Executive Officer, 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.

We May Be Unable To Manage Growth

Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.

Reliance on 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 inventory 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.

Dependence on Consumer Spending

The success of the products in the Brownie’s Third Lung and Brownie’s Tank Fill lines depend largely upon a number of factors related to consumer spending, including future economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as employment, business conditions, tax rates, and interest rates. In addition our opportunities are highly dependent upon the level of consumer spending on recreational marine accessories and dive gear, discretionary spending items. There can be no assurance that consumer spending in general will not decline, thereby adversely affecting our growth, net sales and profitability or that our business will not be adversely affected by current downturns in the economy, boating industry, or dive industry. If consumer spending on recreational marine accessories and dive gear declines, we could be forced to curtail or cease operations.

Government Regulations May Impact Us

The SCUBA industry is self-regulating; therefore, Brownie’s is not subject to government industry specific regulation. Nevertheless, Brownie’s 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. Brownie’s 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.

Bad Weather Conditions 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.

Investors Should Not Rely On an Investment in Our Stock for the Payment of Cash Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the future. Investors should not make an investment in our common stock if they require dividend income. Any return on an investment in our common stock will be as a result of any appreciation, if any, in our stock price.

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 anticipate obtaining contractual indemnification from parties-supplying raw materials, manufacturing our products or marketing our products. In any event, any such indemnification if obtained will be limited by our terms and, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party. 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may be expected to result from the potential change in value of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in credit ratings of the issuer, equity prices, interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for any purpose.

We are also subject to interest rate risk on the balance of our revolving credit facility that matures on March 5, 2009 with Colonial Bank. Interest on the credit facility is variable based on the lender’s base rate plus 1%. Our balance at September 30, 2008 under the facility was $70,000. We do not believe there would be a large enough increase or decrease in the lender’s base through March 5, 2009 that would have a material effect on our future results of operations.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the Company’s disclosure control objectives. The Company’s Principal Executive Officer/Principal Accounting Officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level as of the end of period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors during the period covered by this report that have materially affected or are likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
