Part 1: Financial Information


Statements in this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report may be “forward-looking statements.”  Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions.  These statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by our management.  These assumptions are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.  Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed in this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to our financial condition, factors that affect our industry, market and customer acceptance, changes in technology, fluctuations in our quarterly results, our ability to continue and manage our growth, liquidity and other capital resource issues, competition, fulfillment of contractual obligations by other parties and general economic conditions.  Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, except as required by Federal Securities law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Seafarer Exploration Corp. are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods presented. The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-K for the eight months ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2009 or for any future period.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Seafarer Exploration Corp. (“Seafarer” or the “Company”) is incorporated in the State of Delaware.

The principal business of the Company is the exploration and recovery of a potential historic shipwreck site. The Company has not generated revenues and is therefore considered a development stage company. The Company’s year-end is December 31.

On June 4, 2008, Seafarer Exploration, Inc (“Seafarer Inc.”) merged with Organetix, Inc. (“Organetix”) pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”). The Exchange Agreement provided for the exchange of all of Seafarer Inc.’s common shares for 131,243,235 of Organetix post-merger common shares. Considering that Seafarer Inc.’s former stockholders now control the majority of Organetix’ outstanding voting common stock, Seafarer Inc.’s management has actual operational control of Organetix and Organetix has effectively succeeded its otherwise minimal operations to Seafarer Inc.’s operations, Seafarer Inc. is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction. A reverse-merger transaction with a non-operating public shell company is considered, and accounted for as a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of Seafarer Inc.’s common stock for the net monetary assets of Organetix, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the accounting does not contemplate the recognition of unrecorded assets of the accounting acquiree, such as goodwill. However, on the date of the merger, Organetix was a public shell company and had no assets and no liabilities. Consolidated financial statements presented herein and subsequent to the merger reflect the consolidated financial assets and liabilities and operations of Seafarer Inc., at their historical costs, giving effect to the recapitalization, as if it had been Organetix during the periods presented.

On July 17, 2008, we changed our name from Organetix, Inc. to Seafarer Exploration Corp. During 2008, we changed our year end from April 30 to December 31.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses of $1,845,307 since inception. We expect to expend our available cash in less than one month based on our historical rate of expenditures. Management's plans include raising capital through the equity markets to fund operations, and the generating of revenue through its business. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock is unknown. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classifications of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
This summary of significant accounting policies of Seafarer Exploration Corp. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
 
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible debt instruments. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered antidilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. For the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, there were 4,666,667 and 7,000,000 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding that were not included in dilutive loss per share.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. The impact of adopting SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008 was not significant to the Company’s financial statements. SFAS 157 defines fair value 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. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2008.  The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  These financial instruments include cash, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable and convertible notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.

On January 1, 2009, the Company applied FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FAS 157” (FSP 157-2), which postponed the effective date of FAS 157 for those assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which for the Company is January 1, 2009. The application of FSP 157-2 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Income Taxes
The Company provides for federal and state income taxes payable, as well as for those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit as of the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Currently our only asset is a diving vessel, which we purchased for $325,000 during 2008 and is being depreciated over a 10 year useful life.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Company reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows before interest from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. There was no impairment charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
 
Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123R, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in EITF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services." The Company recorded $315,000 in stock based compensation resulting from the issuance of 12,600,000 restricted common shares during the six month period ending June 30, 2009. These shares were issued in exchange for executive, accounting, archeological, diving operations and administrative consulting services.

Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.  Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
 
Convertible Notes Payable
The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") and Emerging Issues Task Force EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF 00-19"). SFAS 133 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19. SFAS 133 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional as that term is described in the implementation guidance under Appendix A to SFAS 133 and further clarified in EITF 05-2 "The Meaning of "Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument" in Issue No. 00-19.”  As of June 30, 2009 all of the Company’s convertible notes payable were classified as conventional instruments.

The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under EITF 00-19, in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue ("EITF") 98-5 "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features," and EITF 00-27 "Application of EITF 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments". Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.  As of June 30, 2009, none of the Company’s convertible notes payable included a beneficial conversion option.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. The issuance of SFAS 168 and the Codification does not change GAAP. SFAS 168 becomes effective for the Company for the period ending September 30, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 will not have an impact on the financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” (FIN 46(R)) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 167 on the financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

NOTE 4 – CAPITAL STOCK

Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock.  All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, the Company had issued and outstanding 6,333,335 and 3,966,668 common shares subject to anti-dilution protection guaranteeing the shareholders a minimum value of $0.015 to $0.020 per share. The anti-dilution protection extends through the date upon which all registration restrictions expires, typically one year from the date the shares were issued, and is based upon the trading market value at the end of that period. Due to the fact that the number of shares required to settle this minimum value guaranty will not be known until the registration restrictions have expired, the Company cannot guarantee with certainty that it will have enough authorized shares to settle these agreements. Accordingly, these shares have been accounted for in accordance with EITF Topic No. D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. Pursuant to this guidance, the shares subject to the anti-dilution protection valued at $99,500 and $64,500 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively require classification as mezzanine equity until such time as this anti-dilution feature expires.

During the six months ended, June 30, 2009, the holder of a $50,000 convertible note payable converted his note payable into 3,470,000 common shares.  Also during the three months ended June 30, 2009, the company issued 6,988,667 shares of common stock for $141,145 cash. The Company recorded $315,000 in stock based compensation resulting from the issuance of 12,600,000 restricted common shares during the six month period ending June 30, 2009. These shares were issued in exchange for executive, accounting, archeological, diving operations and administrative consulting services.

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE

Convertible Notes Payable, in default

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, the Company had $70,000 and $105,000 in convertible promissory notes outstanding.

The notes are payable between September 1, 2008 through June 1, 2009 and are secured by the equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property of the Company. All of these notes were issued prior to the June 2008 merger discussed in Note 1. These notes are currently in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

Two other notes were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2009, one in the amount of $10,000 and another in the amount of $5,000, totaling $15,000.

These notes pay interest at 10% per year and are convertible at the option of the lenders into common stock at $0.015 per share.  Both of these notes are payable in January 2010 and are secured by the equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property of the Company.  These convertible promissory notes are currently in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

Notes payable – related parties, in default

At June 30, 2009, the Company has three promissory notes to related parties outstanding totaling $26,500. These notes have a maturity of one year, carry an annual interest rate of 8% and pay interest on a quarterly basis. These notes are unsecured and are not convertible.

As of June 30, 2009 the note is in default due to non-payment of interest.

NOTE 6 - NOTES RECEIVABLE

On December 10, 2008, the Company entered into a new purchase and sale agreement with SeaRex, Inc. to acquire the DaVinci Research Materials.

Tulco Agreement

The Company and Tulco have been in the process of negotiation regarding the modification of the original agreement that was executed in 2007. In March 2009 the Company made a payment of $40,000 to Tulco to primarily cover past due amounts that Tulco had alleged were owed to it by the Company as well as to provide Tulco with an advance payment for a portion of the conservation fees for 2009.  At the time that the payment was made, the Company requested a number of modifications to the existing agreement, including a longer guaranteed term of up to five years. If Tulco and the Company are unable to reach an agreement as to the proposed modifications, then there are no guarantees that the Company will be able to successfully renew the Agreement with Tulco for the 2010 dive season, and the Company may have limited protections from termination during the 2009 dive season. The Agreement with Tulco is a key contract to the Company implementing its business plan. If the Agreement with Tulco is not satisfactorily renegotiated, then such consequence will have a material adverse effect on the Company and its prospects. If Tulco is not willing to modify the existing agreement, then the Company is prepared to take significant legal action against Tulco and its Managing Partner, including seeking reimbursement of expenses related to the renewal of the agreement with the State of Florida in both 2007 and 2008.

Overview

General

Seafarer Exploration Corp. ("the Company" or "Seafarer"), a Delaware Corporation, was incorporated on May 28, 2003. The Company formerly operated under the name Organetix, Inc. (“Organetix”). The Company's principal business plan is to engage in the archaeologically-sensitive exploration and recovery of a shipwreck located in the vicinity of Jupiter, Florida, more specifically off of Juno Beach. The exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks is extremely speculative and there is a very high degree of risk inherent in this type of business venture. It may take many years and/or be prohibitively expensive to locate and recover valuable artifacts at the Juno Beach shipwreck site. It is possible that there are not any artifacts that have a significant value at the Juno Beach shipwreck site and the Company may never locate valuable artifacts at the site. The Company has not yet generated revenues, and is therefore considered a development stage company.

Plan of Operation

The Company has taken the following steps to implement its business plan:

To date the Company has devoted its time towards establishing its business in the exploration and salvage of artifacts and cargo from a shipwreck located off of Juno Beach, Florida. 

 
·
Although the Company has not generated revenues to date our development activities continue to evolve. We have been a development stage company since inception, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.

 
·
The Company completed the acquisition of Seafarer, and as a result we are no longer a shell company as defined in Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act of 1933.  As discussed in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the acquisition of Seafarer was characterized as a reverse-acquisition. Accordingly, the results of operations discussed in this Item 7, relate to the consolidated financial assets and liabilities and operations of Seafarer, Inc., not Organetix, during the periods being discussed.

Plan of Operation - continued
 
If we are unable to effectively locate and recover artifacts that have significant value from the Juno Beach shipwreck site then we may have to suspend or cease our efforts. The Company also desires to locate and potentially explore and salvage other historic shipwreck sites, however as of the date of this report the Company has not located any specific additional historic shipwreck sites to explore or attempt to salvage. The Company has also entered into an agreement to obtain information regarding the theoretical location and details of a deepwater shipwreck, however the Company does not have the capital to meet its obligations under the agreement and therefore has not obtained the information regarding the deepwater shipwreck. Even if the Company is able to obtain the information regarding the deepwater shipwreck there will be significant amounts of additional capital required to actually pinpoint the exact location of the wreck, explore the wreck, and/or to conduct recovery operations. At this time the Company does not have any formal plans to raise the capital that will be necessary locate, explore and recover the deepwater shipwreck. If the Company ceases its previously stated efforts there are not any plans to pursue other business opportunities.
 
Limited Operating History

Previously, the Company devoted its time towards establishing its business and no revenues have been generated to date. As such, the Company is considered as being in the development stage, since its inception, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 the Company has does not expect to report any significant revenue from operations for the foreseeable future.

The Company is a development stage company. In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of ($136,596). The Company is in immediate need of further working capital and is seeking options with respect to financing in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof. Since inception, the Company has funded its operations through common stock issuances and loans in order to meet its strategic objectives.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain further funds to continue with its efforts to establish a new business.

The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and to generate negative cash flow from operating activities while exploring and attempting to salvage artifacts from the Juno Beach shipwreck and establishing itself in the marketplace. We expect to expend our available cash in less than one month from August 14, 2009 based on our historical rate of expenditures. The Company’s ability to eliminate operating losses and to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which it is unable to control. If the Company is unable to implement the Company’s business plan successfully, it may not be able to eliminate operating losses, generate positive cash flow, or achieve or sustain profitability, which have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results, as well as its ability to make payments on its debt obligations and the Company may be forced to cease its operations.

Results of Operations

Since February 5, 2007, our inception, we have generated no revenues.  Our operating and other expenses from inception through June 30, 2009 are $1,845,307 of which $504,474 was incurred during the three month period ended June 30, 2009 and $345,924 was incurred during the three months period ended June 30, 2008. Our major expenses in both periods were for consulting and independent contractor expenses mostly related to fees for corporate development, management, accounting, and corporate communications services as well as for the personnel involved in the exploration and recovery efforts at the Juno Beach shipwreck site including the divers and archeologist.

Summary of Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Results of Operations

The Company’s net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 was $586,855 as compared to a net loss of $525,754 during the six month period ended June 30, 2008. The increase in the net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to an increase in consulting fees for executive, accounting, archeological, diving operations and administrative consulting services. During the six month period ended June 30, 2009 the Company incurred vessel related expenses of $35,019 versus vessel expenses of $81,101 during the six month period ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in vessel expenses was due to the fact that after the Company purchased the vessel in early 2008 and there were significant repairs that were made in order to get the vessel ready for the 2008 diving season. During the six month period ended June 30, 2009 the Company incurred professional fees of $23,109 as compared to professional fees of $68,577 during the six month period ended June 30, 2008. The primary reason for the decrease in professional fees during the first six months of 2009 as compared to the first six months of 2008 is that the Company incurred substantial professional fees, primarily legal and accounting, related to the reverse merger that was completed in June 2008.

Summary of Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Results of Operations

The Company’s net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 was $504,474 as compared to a net loss of $345,924 during the three month period ended June 30, 2008. The increase in the net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to an increase in consulting fees for executive, accounting, archeological, diving operations and administrative consulting services. The increase in consulting fees was largely due to a $315,000 expense recognized for stock that was issued to various consultants during the quarter. During the three month period ended June 30, 2009 the Company incurred vessel related expenses of $26,402 versus vessel expenses of $54,503 during the three month period ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in vessel expenses was due to the fact that after the Company purchased the vessel in early 2008 there were significant repairs that were made in order to get the vessel ready for the 2008 diving season and the Company did not need to make as many repairs during the same period in 2009. During the three month period ended June 30, 2009 the Company incurred professional fees of $9,789 as compared to professional fees of $53,500 during the three month period ended June 30, 2008. The primary reason for the decrease in professional fees during the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008 is that the Company incurred substantial professional fees, primarily legal and accounting, related to the reverse merger that was completed in June 2008. During the three month period ended June 30, 2009 the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $14,979 as compared to general and administrative expenses of $38,679 during the three month period ended June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of June 30, 2009, we had cash on hand of $42,161. Since February 5, 2007, our inception, we have generated no revenues.  
 
During the six month period ended June 30, 2009 the Company has funded operations through the receipt of $175,745 from the issuance of common stock under subscription agreements, approximately $117,000 from the partial repayment of notes receivable, $21,500 from a related party shareholder loan, and $25,000 from promissory notes. 

The Company is presently seeking additional financing. We expect to expend our available cash in less than one month from August 14, 2009 based on our historical rate of expenditures. The Company depends upon activities such as subsequent offerings of our common stock or debt financing in order to operate and grow the business. The Company has no specific plans for selling its common stock and no arrangements for debt financing.  There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. There may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict.
 
The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing will be subject to a variety of uncertainties. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The inability to raise additional funds on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, it will be forced to scale back planned expenditures, which would adversely affect its business and financial condition.

Notes payable and convertible notes payable, in default

At June 30, 2009 the Company had a total of $70,000 in convertible promissory notes outstanding. A portion of the notes, totaling $55,000, pay interest at 6% and are convertible at the option of the lenders into common stock at $0.0144 per share. The notes totaling $55,000 matured between September 1, 2008 through June 1, 2009 and are secured by the equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property of the Company. These notes that total $55,000 in the aggregate were issued prior to the June 2008 merger discussed in Note 1. These convertible promissory notes are currently in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

Two other notes were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2009, one in the amount of $10,000 and another in the amount of $5,000, totaling $15,000. The Company entered into these note agreements with two separate individuals related to the Company’s CEO. These notes pay interest at 10% per year and are convertible at the option of the lenders into common stock at $0.015 per share.  Both of these notes are payable in January 2010 and are secured by the equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property of the Company.  These convertible promissory notes are currently in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had three promissory notes outstanding to related parties, two individuals and a corporation, totaling $26,500. These notes have a maturity of one year, carry an annual interest rate of 8% and pay interest on a quarterly basis. These notes are unsecured and are not convertible. These notes are currently in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

At June 30, 2009 the Company has a promissory note outstanding in the amount of $10,000. This note matured on July 3, 2009 and carries an annual interest rate of 5%. Under the terms of the note the Company is required to deliver to the note holder 30,000 shares of its common stock. The note is currently in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

The Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to refinance its promissory notes that are currently in default.  If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, such lenders may file suit, including suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral for obligations arising under the secured notes. If the lenders foreclose on the assets of the Company the Company may be forced to cease its operations.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported herein. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. Management 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We believe that the following impending standards may have an impact on our future filings.  The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” and establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts; instead the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. The issuance of SFAS 168 and the Codification does not change GAAP. SFAS 168 becomes effective for the Company for the period ending September 30, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 will not have an impact on the financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” (FIN 46(R)) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; to add an additional reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS 167 on the financial statements.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2009.  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of such periods are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company has not made any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The company has limited resources and as a result, management has concluded that material weaknesses in financial reporting currently exist, including those described below.  These material weaknesses were described in Item 9A(T) of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

* The Company has an insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

* We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions.

* We do not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is management’s view that an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent financial expert is an important entity-level control over the Company's financial statements.

* We have not achieved an optimal segregation of duties for executive officers of the Company.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three month period ended June 30, 2009 the Company issued 12,600,000 restricted common shares to various consultants. These shares were issued in exchange for past executive, accounting, archeological, diving operations and administrative consulting services and as an inducement for the consultants to continue to provide services to the Company. The issuance of the securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering and based on the fact that such securities were issued for services rendered to sophisticated and/ or accredited investors.

On June 15, 2009 the Company entered into a media consulting services agreement with a corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, in addition to cash payments, the Company agreed to issue 300,000 shares of restricted common stock, in exchange for the consultant providing the Company with various media consulting campaign, investor awareness, and investor relations services on a non-exclusive basis. As of June 30, 2009 the Company had not issued any shares under the agreement. Subsequent to June 30, 2009 the Company issued 300,000 shares as required under the agreement. The issuance of the securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering and based on the fact that such securities were issued for services rendered to a sophisticated and/ or accredited investor.
 
On various dates during the three month period ended June 20, 2009 the Company sold 6,988,667 shares of its common stock for $141,145. The proceeds from the sale of such commons stock were used for working capital.
 
Exemptions from Registration for Sales of Restricted Securities.

The issuance of securities referenced above were issued to persons who were either “accredited investors,” or “sophisticated investors” who, by reason of education, business acumen, experience or other factors, were fully capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in us; and each had prior access to all material information about us. We believe that the offer and sale of these securities was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) thereof, and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Act. Section 18 of the Act preempts state registration requirements for sales to these classes of persons.
 
On March 13, 2009 the holder of a $50,000 convertible note payable converted his note payable into 3,470,000 common shares. The offer and sale of these securities were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 3(a)(9) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
