CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

Various statements in this report contain or may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived from utilizing numerous assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about risks associated with:

 

Financial risks, including:
  our history of losses;
  our ability to continue as a going concern;
  our dependence on revenues from related parties; and
  material risks in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting.
Business and operational risks, including:
  our dependence on key members of our management;
  our need to hire additional employees;
  our ability to protect our intellectual property rights;
  reliance on third party vendors and manufacturers;
  dependence on consumer discretionary spending;
  the impact of government regulations;
  any failure to protect personal information;
  the impact of bad weather;
  the exposure to potential product liability claims; and
  The continuing impact of COVID-19 on our company.
Shareholder risks, including:
  dilution to our common shareholders upon the possible conversion of outstanding convertible debt and/or the exercise of outstanding options;
  the limited market for our common stock and the impact of penny stock rules; and
  we are a voluntary filer with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

You should read thoroughly this report and the documents that we refer to herein with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and/or worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2021 (the “2020 10-K”) and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in their entirety. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and you should not rely on these statements without also considering the risks and uncertainties associated with these statements and our business.

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

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

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

 

Accounts receivable

 

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

 

Inventory

 

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

December 31,

2020

 
             
Raw materials   $ 508,094     $ 408,841  
Finished goods     476,637       454,950  
Inventory, net   $ 984,731     $ 863,791  

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

Lease Accounting

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

9

 

 

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

 

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

 

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:

 

Operating Leases   June 30, 2021  
Right-of-use assets   $ 395,400  
         
Current lease liabilities   $ 112,771  
Non-current lease liabilities     282,629  
Total lease liabilities   $ 395,400  

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

Loss per common share

 

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

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

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

 

Note 3. Going Concern

 

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

PPP Loan

 

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

 

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

 

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

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Overview

 

BWMG, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, designs, tests, and manufactures tankless dive systems, yacht-based SCUBA air compressor and nitrox generation fill systems and acts as the exclusive distributor for North and South America for Lenhardt & Wagner GmbH (“L&W”) compressors in the high-pressure breathing air and industrial gas markets. Our wholly owned subsidiaries and related product lines are as follows:

 

[
]

 

Legacy SSA Products

This segment represents our surface supplied air (SSA) product line. Trebor began its business making surface supplied air diving systems in the late 1960s. Our Brownie’s Third Lung systems have long been a dominant figure in gasoline powered, high-performance, and now the battery powered surface supplied air diving systems. Taking full advantage of the proprietary compressor system, a complete series of traditional “fixed speed” electric compressors were developed for the built-in-boat market in 2005. After years of inventing, testing and development, in 2010 we introduced our variable-speed battery powered hookah system which provides divers with gasoline-free all day shallow diving experiences. This battery system was updated in 2019 we introduced a lithium-ion battery powered variable speed system that is capable of three dives to thirty feet for three hours on one charge. These systems provide performance and runtimes as great as 300% better than the best devices previously on the market by utilizing a variable speed technology that controls battery consumption based on diver demand.

 

The Legacy SSA segment has experienced a 45.8% growth in units sold in the first six months of 2021 as compared to the first six months of 2020, as we continue to expand our dealer network and the breadth of product that each of the dealers provide.

 

This segment is seeing results from its marketing efforts with both the consumer and our network of dealers. The company continues to add dealers across the country in order to diversify the seasonality as well as the geography risks. Additionally, we continue to pursue more aggressively the boat builder market to offer our Legacy SSA systems as an option on newly built boats, expanding our market beyond the traditional consumer markets for our products. Our Legacy SSA products include:

 

● Tankless Dive Systems: The Company produces a line of tankless dive products, commonly called hookah or recreational surface supplied air systems. These systems allow one to four divers to enjoy the marine environment up to a depth of up to 45 feet without the bulk and weight of conventional SCUBA gear. The removal of barriers to entry into the sport of diving and the reduction of complicated and bulky SCUBA gear invites a broader range of the general public to participate more actively and enjoyably at their own pace and schedule. The design of our product also reduces the effort required for both its transport and continued use while exploring, cruising or traveling. A line of land-based systems is available for light-duty commercial applications that demand portability and performance. In addition to the gasoline-powered units and the variable speed battery powered units, a series of AC electric powered systems is also available for light to commercial duty. Powered by battery for portability or household current for virtually unlimited dive duration, these units are used primarily by businesses that work in aquatic maintenance and marine environments.

 

● BIAS (Boat Integrated Air Systems): The Company developed several tankless products and complimentary accessories that it believes makes boat diving even easier. The BIAS battery powered tankless kit allows boat builders, dealers and end users to seamlessly install a pre-packaged kit directly into the boat. The E-Reel advances this idea by adding a level-winding battery powered hose reel system to provide compact storage of up to 150 feet of hose. Boaters can perform their own in-water maintenance and inspections, or just dive for enjoyment. In addition to supplying air to divers, BIAS is useful for supporting air horns, inflating boat fenders/water toys, activating pneumatically operated doors, and more. The Company strategy is to align the easy to install, complete kit packages with boat builders, dealer and end users through a vertically targeted sales and marketing program.

 

 

High Pressure Gas Systems

Through this segment, we design, manufacture, sell and install SCUBA tank fill systems for on-board yacht use under the brand “Yacht-Pro™”. Our systems provide complete diving packages and dive training solutions for yachts, includes Nitrox systems which allow yacht owners to fill tanks with oxygen enriched air on board. The Yacht-Pro™ compressor systems offer a completely marine-prepared, VFD (variable frequency drive)-driven, automated alternative to other compressors on the market. We also design complete dive lockers, mixed gas production and distribution systems, and the unique Nitrox Maker™. Nitrox is oxygen-enriched air, which reduces the effects of nitrogen on divers; it is the industry standard for dive professionals. The Nitrox Maker™ continuously generates the oxygen rich breathing gas directly from low-pressure air; no stored oxygen or other gases are required onboard.

 

Consistent with our goals for 2021, this segment of our business continues to work to expand its customer base beyond that of the diving community. We believe the product lines from L&W, will allow LW Americas to put a high quality, competitive products into the first responder and industrial market that utilize compressed air for many applications. Our goal will be to build a network of jobbers, dealers, installers and high-pressure compressor distributors throughout the territory by leveraging our know-how, brand awareness, complimentary products and creating sustainable distribution and core product OEM integration relationships.

Ultra Portable Tankless Dive Systems

In the continued expansion of our business, in December 2017, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary BLU3, to develop and market a next generation electric surface supplied air diving systems electric shallow dive system that is completely portable to the user. The BLU3 line currently consists of two models targeting specific performance levels and price points – NEMO and NOMAD.

 

The NEMO dive system continues to expand its customer base and become more accepted across the world. Currently, Nemo is sold in 9 countries through Amazon, and also through 25 dealers across the world. Nemo, the worlds smallest dive system is capable of taking one diver to 10 feet for 60 to 90 minutes on one charge of its lithium-ion battery. Nemo is portable, and approved for airline travel.

 

Currently, NOMAD is nearing the end of the design phase and full production will begin in the third quarter of 2021, as the Company continues to ensure that it will deliver a product that will excite the consumer but be safe as well. This product will expand the customers dive capability to up to 33 feet and continue to drive the vertical integration of the diving experience.

Net Revenues, Costs of Net Revenues and Gross Profit

 

Overall, our net revenues increased 29.7% and 36.2% for the Second Quarter 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2021 from the comparable periods in 2020. These increases included an increase of 21.0% and 31.5% in net revenues from sales to third parties, and an increase of 79.1% and 57.6% in net revenues from sales to related parties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, over the comparable prior period. Net revenue for the Second Quarter 2020 and six months ended June 30, 2020 included non-recurring revenue related to the Blu-Vent project of approximately $458,000. Adjusting this non-recurring item from the 2020 revenue the core business revenue increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 would be 99.0% and 78.1%, respectively.

 

Our total cost of net revenues in the Second Quarter 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2021 were 65.1% and 65.9% of our total net revenues as compared to 62.4% and 69.3% for the same periods in 2020. Included in our total cost of net revenues are royalty expenses we pay to Mr. Carmichael which increased 56.4% and 74.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increased royalties are the result of increased sales in the legacy SSA segment. Also included in the total cost of net revenue are royalties paid pursuant to our agreement with STS. These royalties accounted for approximately 2.4% and 2.1% of total net revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively as compared to 1.1% and 1.4% for the same periods in 2020.

 

We reported an overall gross profit margin of 34.9% and 34.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to 37.6% and 30.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The Legacy SSA product lines had an increase in distribution sales during the Second Quarter 2021 as compared to the direct to consumer sales of the Second Quarter 2020, since the COVID stay at home orders have been lifted in 2021, customers are returning to their local dive stores, rather than purchasing online. The High Pressure Gas Systems margins have shown a decrease in margin percentage for the Second Quarter, 2021 to 45.3% from 52.8% during the same quarter in 2020. However, with the increased revenue in this segment,margin available to cover operating expenses grew in this segment by 137% in the Second Quarter 2021 as compared to the Second Quarter 2020 as revenue grew 176.1% for the segment. Margins related to the Ultra-Portable Tankless dive segment improved from 22.8% for the Second Quarter 2020 to 36.8% for the Second Quarter, 2021. The margins in this segment in the Second Quarter, 2020 were depressed because of the lower margins yielded from the BluVent project that was billed in that period.

 

The following tables provides net revenues, total costs of net revenues, and gross profit margins for our segments for the periods presented.

Legacy SSA Products segment

 

Revenue in this segment continues to show improvement, increasing 56.0% year over year for the Second Quarter 2021. The increase in net revenues in this segment for the Second Quarter 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 can be attributed to increases in dealer demand, increasing 114.1%, and demand from affiliates increasing 344.1%. These segments increased in anticipation for the 2021 summer season. Direct to consumer demand decreased for the Second Quarter, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, as the re-opening of the economy after COVID allowed consumers to purchase product at retail rather than from our website. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 the Legacy SSA segment continued to show significant increase over the prior year. Increases in all areas of this segment increased netting to a total increase of 56.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020.

 

Our costs of revenues as a percentage of net revenues in this segment increased from 58.5% to 71.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from the prior year. The increased cost of revenue, and in turn reduction in product margin, can be attributed to increase proportion of dealer sales as compared to the prior year increasing 79.3%.

 

A breakdown of the revenue channels for this segment are below. Direct to Consumer represent items sold via our website, trade shows and walk-ins to our factory store. Dealer revenue represents sales to customers that we have dealer agreements that typically operate with the lowers margin. Affiliates are resellers of our products that are not in a formal dealer arrangement.

High Pressure Gas Systems segment

 

Sales of high-pressure breathing air compressors shown a 176.1% year over year increase during the Second Quarter 2021 as the marketplace began to see an economic recovery during this period. All segments have begun to open up, and demand has begun to show signs of life, with travel returning, and diving operations throughout the US and Caribbean have re-opened and receiving tourists. The majority of our dive resort and dive operator customers’ businesses have begun to conduct a more normalized business, and the recovery of this customer segment can be seen in the increases in revenue in the reseller segment. The Original Equipment Manufacturer segment showed significant growth with an increase of over 300% for the six month ended June 30, 2021 as compared to 2020. The direct to consumer segment, which includes yacht owners and direct to dive stores, showed some life in the Second Quarter 2021 increasing 133%, however this increase wasn’t enough to recover the year over year results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 with a decrease in revenue in the segment of 22.0%. We continue to see acceptance of the L&W brand and we expect sales to continue to increase as we open the product up to new markets outside of the diving and yachting segments.

 

Our costs of revenues as a percentage of net revenues in this segment decreased to 54.4% as compared to 67.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. This can be attributed to significant improvements of in margin to the reseller and OEM customer segments. This is attributed to improved product mix and improvements in the job-costing process.

Ultra Portable Tankless Dive Systems

 

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in the Ultra Portable Tankless Dive System segment continues to show significant improvement with growth of 13.3% increase for the first six months of 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in revenue is despite the loss of the non-recurring revenue related to the BLU-Vent project that was recognized during the Second Quarter 2020. All of the sales channels for this business segment continue to develop. The largest contributor to the revenue increases for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the prior year, are the growth in consumer direct sales and sales via the Amazon channel. Through June 30, 2021, BLU3 is selling to Amazon in nine countries as well as a significant presence in the US Amazon Channel. BLU3 continues to expand its dealer base which can be seen by the 334.2% revenue growth for first six months of 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The Company’s continued focus on direct to consumer via our website accounted for a 40.2% increase for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the prior year.

 

Our aggregate cost of revenue from this segment as percentage of net revenues for the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2021 have shown improvement over the same period in 2020. The cost of revenue and margins through the first six months of 2021 are more representative of the normalized costs and margins, excluding the non reoccurring Ventilator project. BLU3 is consistently working toward greater production efficiency and capacity.

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and research and development costs, and are reported on a consolidated basis for our operating segments. Aggregate operating expenses decreased 6.6% for the Second Quarter 2021 as compared to the Second Quarter 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 aggregate operating expenses increased by 23.5% from the same period in 2020.

 

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

 

SG&A decreased by 4.7% and increased by 25.7% for the Second Quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020. The main drivers of SG&A during those periods are as follows:

 

Expense Item   Second Quarter 2021     Second Quarter 2020     % Change     Six months Ended June 30, 2021     Six months Ended June 30, 2020     % Change

Total SG&A   $ 823,607     $ 864,463       (4.7 )%   $ 1,560,642     $ 1,242,041       25.7 %

 

Payroll increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are related to the hiring of the CEO, and other administrative positions to support the growth in each of our divisions.

 

Non-Cash Stock compensation expenses have seen a slight decrease for the Second Quarter, as the 2020 totals included stock options that were fully expensed in 2020, and no further adjustments were necessary in the Second Quarter 2021. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 is related to options to the our CFO and Chairman, that were issued during the Second Quarter 2020 and were fully expensed in the First Quarter 2021.

 

Other professional fees, typically in the form of non-cash stock or stock options decreased 70% and 61.9% for the Second Quarter 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2020. This decrease can be attributed to the contracts of both an IR firm and a PR firm in the Second Quarter 2020, that were terminated or their compensation was restructured for 2021.

 

The increase in advertising expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020 is attributable to the agreement with the Company’s provider of marketing and advertising. This contract was executed in the Third Quarter 2020, and was not renewed as of July 31, 2021.

 

Research & Development Expenses (R&D Expenses)

 

R&D expenses for the Second Quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased 46.7% and 24.4%, respectively as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease can be primarily attributed to the near completion of the R&D for BLU3’s NOMAD, as it moves toward production in the third quarter, 2021.

 

Total Other Income

 

Total other income was approximately $157,800 and $163,900 for the Second Quarter 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to other expense of approximately $6,400 and $12,300 during the same period in 2020. The other income for the Second Quarter 2021 consists of a gain from the forgiveness of the PPP loan of $159,600 offset by interest expense of approximately $1,800. The other expenses for the Second Quarter 2020 consist only of interest expense. The decrease in interest expense can be attributed to the decrease in interest expense on the Marlin Note, the conversion and settlement of debt and a reduction in the note balances due to repayments made.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. The following table summarized total current assets, total current liabilities and working capital at June 30, 2021 (unaudited) as compared to December 31, 2020.

 

    June 30,     December 31,     % of  
    2021     2020     change  
      (unaudited)                  
Total current assets   $ 1,954,388     $ 1,469,037       33.0 %
Total current liabilities   $ 1,156,250     $ 1,029,204       12.3 %
Working capital   $ 798,138     $ 439,833       81.4 %

 

The increase in our current assets at June 30, 2021 from December 31, 2020 principally reflects increases in accounts receivable from related and non-related parties, inventory, net and prepaid expenses and other current assets. The increase in our total current liabilities principally reflect increases in total accounts payable, customer deposits, and other liabilities, offset by decreases in current maturities of long term debt, notes payable and the convertible debentures.

 

Summary Cash Flows

 

   

Six Months Ended

June 30,

 
    2021     2020  
    (unaudited)  
Net cash used by operating activities   $ (396,838 )   $ (463,508 )
Net cash used by investing activities   $ (14,591 )   $ -  
Net cash provided by financing activities   $ 227,904     $ 885,138  

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was due to the net loss of approximately $530,800 which is primarily attributable to non-cash stock compensation expenses of approximately $600,900. The non-cash stock compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is attributable stock options issued to Mr. Carmichael, Mr. Constable, various employees as well as shares issued for services to consultants. The cash used is also the result of increases in current assets, including, accounts receivable, inventory, net, and prepaid expenses that utilized approximately $660,300 offset by increases in current liabilities including accounts payable, other liabilities, and customer deposits, which totaled to approximately $325,900.

 

Net cash used by investing activities relate primarily to an increase in leasehold improvements, as the company expanded its office space for additional personnel, and lighting in the production areas.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflects proceeds from the sale of common stock, proceeds from a new debt agreement, offset by the repayments of notes payable and Marlin Note.

 

Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

 

As set forth in Note 3 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in this report were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the 12-month period following the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained a going concern qualification.

 

We have a history of losses, and an accumulated deficit of $13,486,923 as of June 30, 2021. Despite a working capital surplus of $798,138 at June 30, 2021, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to continue to increase revenues, control expenses, raise capital, and to continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. As set forth in Note 5 appearing earlier in this report, we owe third parties approximately $50,000 under the terms of convertible debentures that become due in December 2021. In addition, we have an additional $15,000 in loans which are due on demand. We are continuing to engage in discussions with potential sources for additional capital, however, our ability to raise capital is somewhat limited based upon our revenue levels, net losses and limited market for our common stock. If we fail to raise additional funds when needed, or if we do not have sufficient cash flows from operations, we may be required to scale back or cease certain of our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies 

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The more critical accounting estimates include estimates related to revenue recognition, valuation of inventory, allowance for doubtful accounts, and equity-based transactions. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing earlier in this report.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. These recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to our notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing earlier in this report.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2021. Based upon that evaluation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report as a result of the continuing material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as described in Item 9A. of our 2020 10-K. We do not, however, expect that the weaknesses in our disclosure controls will be remediated until such time as we remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are a defendant in that certain lawsuit styled Basil Vann, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Jeffrey William Morris v. Brownie’s Marine Group, Inc., Case number CACE19009879 filed on May 6, 2019 in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida.

Pursuant to the terms of the Term Sheet, the Company will acquire all of the Membership Interests from the Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $1,750,000 (the “Purchase Price”), to be paid to the Sellers at closing: (i) by the issuance to the Sellers of three-year convertible promissory notes (each, a “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $350,000, at an interest rate of 8% per annum, with each Seller to receive a Note in the principal amount pro rata with the number of Membership Interests such Seller owns of Submersible, and (ii) by the issuance to the Sellers of an aggregate of $1,400,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, such number of Shares to be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Markets ("VWAP") for (a) 180 days prior to the date of the Term Sheet, or (b) 180 days prior to the closing date of the transaction, whichever results in a lower VWAP, with each Seller receiving a pro rata portion of the Shares based upon the total number of Membership Interests held by such Seller. The closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Term Sheet are to occur no later than August 31, 2021, and are subject to certain closing conditions and deliveries, including an agreement containing typical representations and warranties by the parties of a transaction of this nature.

4. Stock Subject to Plan.

 

4.1 Number of Shares. The total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares. Shares of Common Stock under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year during the term of the Plan, beginning with calendar year 2022, by an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company issued and outstanding on December 31 of such calendar year, but in no event shall any such annual increase exceed thirty million (30,000,000) shares of Common Stock. If any share of Common Stock that have been granted pursuant to a Stock Option ceases to be subject to a Stock Option, or if any shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Restricted Stock, Deferred Stock Award, or Other Stock-Based Award granted hereunder are forfeited or any such Award otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the Holder in the form of Common Stock, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with future grants and Awards under the Plan.

 

4.2 Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization, Etc. In the event of any dividend (other than a cash dividend) payable on shares of Common Stock, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, or other similar event (not addressed in Section 4.3, below) occurring after the grant of an Award, which results in a change in the shares of Common Stock of the Company as a whole, (i) the number of shares issuable in connection with any such Award and the purchase price thereof, if any, shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect the occurrence of any such event and (ii) the Committee shall determine whether such change requires an adjustment in the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan or to retain the number of shares reserved and available under the Plan in their sole discretion. Any adjustment required by this Section 4.2 shall be made by the Committee, in good faith, subject to Board authorization if indicated, whose determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

 

4.3 Certain Mergers and Similar Transactions. In the event of (a) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (b) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the shareholders of the Company or their relative stock holdings and the Awards granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption will be binding on all Awardees, (c) a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any shareholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other equity interest in the Company, (d) the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (e) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender offer or similar transaction, any or all outstanding Awards may be assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation (if any), which assumption, conversion or replacement will be binding on all Awardees. In the alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent Awards or provide substantially similar consideration to Awardees as was provided to shareholders (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards). The successor corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Holder, substantially similar shares or other property subject to repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the Holder. In the event such successor corporation (if any) refuses or otherwise declines to assume or substitute Awards, as provided above, (i) the vesting of any or all Awards granted pursuant to this Plan will accelerate immediately prior to the effective date of a transaction described in this Section 4.3 and (ii) any or all Options granted pursuant to this Plan will become exercisable in full prior to the consummation of such event at such time and on such conditions as the Committee determines. If such Options are not exercised prior to the consummation of the corporate transaction, they shall terminate at such time as determined by the Committee. Subject to any greater rights granted to Awardees under the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3, in the event of the occurrence of any transaction described in this Section 4.3, any outstanding Awards will be treated as provided in the applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, or sale of assets.

5. Eligibility.

 

Awards may be made or granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to the Company or its Subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the Company. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who is not an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary at the time of grant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, Awards covered or to be covered under a registration statement on Form S-8 which may be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission may be made under the Plan only if (a) they are made to natural persons, (b) who provide bona fide services to the Company or its Subsidiaries, and (c) the services are not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital raising transaction, and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company’s securities.

 

6. Stock Options.

 

6.1 Grant and Exercise. Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Nonqualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms, not inconsistent with this Plan, or with respect to Incentive Stock Options, not inconsistent with the Plan and the Code, as the Committee may from time to time approve. The Committee shall have the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options, which may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. To the extent that any Stock Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option does not so qualify, it shall constitute a separate Nonqualified Stock Option.

 

6.2 Terms and Conditions. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only within the ten-year period commencing from the Effective Date and may only be exercised within ten years of the date of grant (or five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns Common Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (“10% Shareholder”).

 

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the day of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Shareholder shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

 

5

 

 

(c) Exercisability. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and as set forth in Section 9, below. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, i.e., that it vests over time, the Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors as the Committee shall determine.

 

(d) Method of Exercise. Subject to whatever installment, exercise and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case; Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term of the Option, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, which shall be in cash or, if provided in the Agreement, either in shares of Common Stock (including Restricted Stock and other contingent Awards under this Plan) or partly in cash and partly in such Common Stock, or such other means which the Committee determines are consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law. Cash payments shall be made by wire transfer, certified or bank check or personal check, in each case payable to the order of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock with respect to which an Option is exercised until the Company has confirmed the receipt of good and available funds in payment of the purchase price thereof. Payments in the form of Common Stock shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date prior to the date of exercise. Such payments shall be made by delivery of stock certificates in negotiable form that are effective to transfer good and valid title thereto to the Company, free of any liens or encumbrances. A Holder shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option until such shares shall be transferred to the Holder upon the exercise of the Option.

 

(e) Transferability. Except as may be set forth in the Agreement, no Stock Option shall be transferable by the Holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Holder’s lifetime, only by the Holder (or, to the extent of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Holder’s guardian or legal representative).

 

(f) Termination by Reason of Death. If a Holder’s employment by the Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of death may thereafter be exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Holder under the will of the Holder, for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify at grant) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter.

 

(g) Termination by Reason of Disability. If a Holder’s employment by the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant and set forth in the Agreement, shall there upon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify at the time of grant) from the date of such termination of employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is the shorter.

 

6

 

 

(h) Other Termination. Subject to the provisions of Section 12, below, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant and set forth in the Agreement, if a Holder is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary at the time of grant and if such Holder’s employment by the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, the Stock Option shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that if the Holder’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause or due to Normal Retirement, then the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination of employment may be exercised for the lesser of three months after termination of employment or the balance of such Stock Option’s term.

 

(i) Additional Incentive Stock Option Limitation. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of grant of the Option) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Company and its Parent and Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000.

 

(j) Buyout and Settlement Provisions. The Committee may at any time, subject to Board authorization, if indicated, offer to repurchase a Stock Option previously granted, based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Holder at the time that such offer is made.

 

7. Restricted Stock.

 

7.1 Grant. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee, subject to Board authorization, if indicated, shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Holder, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture (“Restriction Period”), the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards.

 

7.2 Terms and Conditions. Each Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a) Certificates. Restricted Stock, when issued, will be represented by a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Holder to whom such Restricted Stock shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, certificates representing the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions (as defined below) shall bear a legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions), and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto, are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the Agreement. Such certificates shall be deposited by the Holder with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in accordance with the Plan and the Agreement.

 

7

 

 

(b) Rights of Holder. Restricted Stock shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. The Holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Stock, to receive and retain all regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute on such Restricted Stock and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock, with the exceptions that (i) the Holder will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (ii) the Company will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (iii) other than regular cash dividends and other cash equivalent distributions as the Board may in its sole discretion designate, pay or distribute, the Company will retain custody of all distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Stock) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested and with respect to which the Restriction Period shall have expired; (iv) a breach of any of the restrictions, terms or conditions contained in this Plan or the Agreement or otherwise established by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Stock or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Stock and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.

 

(c) Vesting; Forfeiture. Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each Award of Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions (i) all or part of such Restricted Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, subject to Section 9, below, and (ii) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock shall become vested to the extent that the Restricted Stock related thereto shall have become vested, subject to Section 9, below. Any such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that do not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that shall have been so forfeited.

 

8. Other Stock-Based Awards.

 

Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, shares of Common Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, purchase rights, shares of Common Stock awarded which are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, or other rights convertible into shares of Common Stock and Awards valued by reference to the value of securities of or the performance of specified Subsidiaries. Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Awards under this Plan or any other plan of the Company. Each other Stock-Based Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee.

 

9. Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability.

 

9.1 Non-Approved Transactions. If any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as referred in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities in one or more transactions, and the Board does not authorize or otherwise approve such acquisition, then the vesting periods of any and all Stock Options and other Awards granted and outstanding under the Plan shall be accelerated and all such Stock Options and Awards will immediately and entirely vest, and the respective holders thereof will have the immediate right to purchase and/or receive any and all Common Stock subject to such Stock Options and Awards on the terms set forth in this Plan and the respective agreements respecting such Stock Options and Awards.

9.2 Approved Transactions. The Committee may, subject to Board authorization, if indicated, in the event of an acquisition of substantially all of the Company’s assets or at least 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities in one or more transactions (including by way of merger or reorganization) which has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (i) accelerate the vesting of any and all Stock Options and other Awards granted and outstanding under the Plan, and (ii) require a Holder of any Award granted under this Plan to relinquish such Award to the Company upon the tender by the Company to Holder of cash in an amount equal to the Repurchase Value of such Award.

 

10. Amendment and Termination.

 

The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend alter, suspend or discontinue any of the provisions of the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance shall be made that would impair the rights of a Holder under any Agreement theretofore entered into hereunder, without the Holder’s consent.

 

11. Term of Plan.

 

11.1 Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective at such time as the Plan is approved and adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Effective Date”), subject to the following provisions:

 

(a) to the extent that the Plan authorizes the Award of Incentive Stock Options, shareholder approval for the Plan shall be obtained within 12 months of the Effective Date; and

 

(b) the failure to obtain shareholder for the Plan as contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 11 shall not invalidate the Plan; provided, however, that (i) in the absence of such shareholder approval, Incentive Stock Options may not be awarded under the Plan and (ii) any Incentive Stock Options theretofore awarded under the Plan shall be converted into Non-Qualified Options upon terms and conditions determined by the Committee to reflect, as nearly as is reasonably practicable in its sole determination, the terms and conditions of the Incentive Stock Options being so converted.

 

1.2 Termination Date. Unless otherwise terminated by the Board, this Plan shall continue to remain effective until the earlier of ten (10) years from the Effective Date or such time as no further Awards may be granted and all Awards granted under the Plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made only during the ten-year period following the Effective Date.

 

12. General Provisions.

 

12.1 Written Agreements. Each Award granted under the Plan shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms, of the Agreement executed by the Company and the Holder. The Committee may terminate any Award made under the Plan if the Agreement relating thereto is not executed and returned to the Company within 10 days after the Agreement has been delivered to the Holder for his or her execution.

 

12.2 Unfunded Status of Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Holder by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

12.3 Employees.

 

(a) Engaging in Competition with the Company; Disclosure of Confidential Information. If a Holder’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason whatsoever, and within three months after the date thereof such Holder either (i) accepts employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in competition with, the Company or (ii) discloses to anyone outside the Company or uses any confidential information or material of the Company in violation of the Company’s policies or any agreement between the Holder and the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any Award that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on that date that is six months prior to the date such Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated.

 

(b) Termination for Cause. The Committee may, if a Holder’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for cause, annul any Award granted under this Plan to such employee and, in such event, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any Award that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on that date that is six months prior to the date such Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated.

 

(c) No Right of Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award hereunder shall be deemed to confer upon any Holder who is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Holder who is an employee at any time.

 

12.4. Investment Representations; Company Policy. The Committee may require each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Holder is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof. Each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other Award under the Plan shall be required to abide by all policies of the Company in effect at the time of such acquisition and thereafter with respect to the ownership and trading of the Company’s securities.

 

12.5 Additional Incentive Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the granting of Stock Options and the Awarding of Common Stock and cash otherwise than under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

 

12.6 Withholding Taxes. Not later than the date as of which an amount must first be included in the gross income of the Holder for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any option or other Award under the Plan, the Holder shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such amount. If permitted by the Committee, tax withholding or payment obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Company or the Holder’s employer (if not the Company) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Holder from the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

10

 

 

12.7 Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.

 

12.8 Other Benefit Plans. Any Award granted under the Plan shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company or any Subsidiary and shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation (unless required by specific reference in any such other plan to Awards under this Plan).

 

12.9 Non-Transferability. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Agreement, no right or benefit under the Plan may be alienated, sold, assigned, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged, transferred, encumbered or charged, and any attempt to alienate, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge, exchange, transfer, encumber or charge the same shall be void.

 

12.10 Applicable Laws. The obligations of the Company with respect to all Stock Options and Awards under the Plan shall be subject to (i) all applicable laws, rules and regulations and such approvals by any governmental agencies as may be required, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and (ii) the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or trading or quotation system on which the Common Stock may be listed or quoted.

 

12.11 Conflicts. If any of the terms or provisions of the Plan or an Agreement conflict with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with such requirements. Additionally, if this Plan or any Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included herein under Section 422 of the Code, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated herein and therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length herein and therein. If any of the terms or provisions of any Agreement conflict with any terms or provisions of the Plan, then such terms or provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict with the requirements of the Plan. Additionally, if any Agreement does not contain any provision required to be included therein under the Plan, such provision shall be deemed to be incorporated therein with the same force and effect as if such provision had been set out at length therein.

 

12.12 Non-Registered Stock. The shares of Common Stock to be distributed under this Plan have not been, as of the Effective Date, registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws and the Company has no obligation to any Holder to register the Common Stock or to assist the Holder in obtaining an exemption from the various registration requirements, or to list the Common Stock on a national securities exchange or any other trading or quotation system.
