NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. 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.

You should read thoroughly this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2023, which risk factors could adversely impact our business and financial performance. 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. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made, except as required by applicable law.

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

Basis of Presentation

The 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, 2022 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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a broader discussion of the Company’s business and the risks inherent in such business. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per EIN. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no amount in excess of the FDIC insured limit.

Accounts receivable

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

In accordance with ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), management believes that the historical loss information it has compiled is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables held at September 30, 2023, because the composition of the trade receivables at that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages (i.e., the similar risk characteristics of its customers and its lending practices have not changed significantly over time). As a result, management applied the applicable credit loss rates to determine the expected credit loss estimate for each aging category. Accordingly, the allowance for expected credit losses at September 30, 2023 totaled $28,558.

Inventory

Inventory consists of the following:

Schedule of Inventory

	September 30, 2023 (unaudited)			December 31, 2022

Raw materials	$	1,052,975		$	1,207,957

Allowance reserve		(167,959	)		(225,687	)
Inventory, net	$	2,046,071		$	2,421,885

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded allowances for obsolete or slow-moving inventory of $166,698 and $166,432, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

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

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

Schedule of Related Party and Non-Related Party Revenue

	2023		2022		2023		2022

See further disaggregate revenue disclosures by segment and product type in Note 10.

Cost of Sales

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

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

Lease Accounting

The Company accounts 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. The Company elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. The Company did not reassess whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases or contain leases.

The Company categorizes leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that would allow the Company 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. The Company did not have any finance leases as of September 30, 2023. The Company’s leases generally have terms that range from three years for equipment and five to twenty years for property. The Company elected the accounting policy to include both the lease and non-lease components of its 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 the Company. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the lease term.

When the Company has the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease for the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that the Company we will exercise the option, it considers 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, lease expenses were approximately $110,700 and approximately $327,900, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, lease expenses were approximately $76,300 and approximately $205,000, respectively. Cash paid for operating liabilities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $84,000 and approximately $245,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 cash paid for operating liabilities was approximately $204,500.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:

Schedule of Supplemental Balance Sheet Information

Operating Leases	September 30, 2023
		(unaudited)
Right-of-use assets	$	941,714
Current lease liabilities	$	287,555
Non-current lease liabilities		658,597
Total lease liabilities	$	946,152

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts 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.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued on the effective date of the agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which includes determination of the fair value of the share-based transaction. The fair value is determined through use of the quoted stock price.

Derivatives

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record certain warrants and embedded conversion options at their fair value as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. As a result of entering into certain note agreements, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted a sequencing policy, by earliest issuance date, in accordance with ASC 815-40-35-12 whereby all future instruments may be classified as a derivative liability with the exception of instruments related to share-based compensation issued to employees or directors, as long as the certain variable issuance terms in certain convertible instruments exist. As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not have any derivative liabilities.

Loss per share of common stock

Basic loss 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 loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. At September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, 149,612,199 and 249,177,870 shares, 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

ASU 2016-13 Current Expected Credit Loss (ASC326)

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

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

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

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

Note 3. Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve-month period following the date of these consolidated financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $616,315. At September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,053,810. Despite a working capital surplus of approximately $724,961 at September 30, 2023, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months after the date the financial statements were issued. 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 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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

The Company sells products to Brownie’s Southport Divers, Brownie’s Yacht Toys and Brownie’s Palm Beach Divers, companies owned by the brother of Robert Carmichael, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Terms of sale are no more favorable than those extended to any of the Company’s other customers with similar sales volumes. These entities accounted for 9.9% and 12.1% of the net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, and 11.2% and 12.9% for the nine months ending September 30 2023 and 2022, respectively. Accounts receivable from these entities totaled $39,477 and $53,079, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company sells products to BGL and 940 A, entities wholly-owned by Robert Carmichael. Terms of sale are more favorable than those extended to the Company’s regular customers, but no more favorable than those extended to the Company’s strategic partners. Accounts receivable from these entities totaled $8,264 and $2,349 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company had accounts payable to related parties of $37,210 and $37,539 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The balance payable at September 30, 2023 was comprised of $23,713 due to 940 A, $8,497 due to Robert Carmichael and $5,000 due to Blake Carmichael. At December 31, 2022, the balance payable was comprised of $29,559 due to 940 A, $2,980 due to BGL and $5,000 due to Robert Carmichael.

The Company has exclusive license agreements with 940 A to license the trademark “Brownie’s Third Lung”, “Tankfill”, “Brownie’s Public Safety” and various other related trademarks as listed in the agreements. The agreements provide that the Company pay 2.5% of gross revenues per quarter as a royalty to 940A. Total royalty expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 was $54,904 and $77,669, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 the royalty expense totaled $156,572 and $202,598, respectively.

On September 30, 2022, the Company issued a convertible demand 8% promissory note in the principal amount of $66,793 to Robert Carmichael for funds to meet the working capital needs of LBI. There is no amortization schedule for the note, and interest is payable in shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the 90 day value weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s stock prior to the quarterly interest payment date. The note holder may demand payment or convert the outstanding principal at a conversion rate of $0.021 per share at any time. The conversion rate was calculated at a 35% discount to the 90 day VWAP of the Company’s stock as of the date of the note. The Company recorded $19,250 for the beneficial conversion feature. As this conversion rate is a fixed rate, the embedded conversion feature is not a derivative liability. There were payments totaling $3,047 made with products in kind during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The outstanding balance on this note was $63,746 as of September 30, 2023.

On January 18, 2023 and February 18, 2023, the Company issued to Charles Hyatt, a Company director, an aggregate of 11,428,570 units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a two-year common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0175 per share in consideration of $200,000.

The note holder may demand payment or convert the outstanding principal at a conversion rate of $0.01351 per share at any time. The conversion rate was calculated at a 35% discount to the 90 day VWAP of the Company’s stock as of the date of the note. The Company recorded $-0- for the beneficial conversion feature. As this conversion rate is a fixed rate, the embedded conversion feature is not a derivative liability. The outstanding balance on this note was $50,000 as of September 30, 2023.

On March 31, 2023, the Company issued 61,204 shares of common stock to Robert Carmichael for payment of interest on the convertible demand note for the three months ending March 31, 2023. The fair value of these shares was $1,336.

On June 30, 2023, the Company issued 61,677 shares of common stock to Robert Carmichael for payment of interest on the convertible demand note for the three months ending June 30, 2023. The fair value of these shares was $1,287.

The Consideration Shares are subject to leak out agreements whereby the shareholders are unable to sell or transfer shares based upon the following:

Summary of Holding Period and Shares Eligible to Sold

Holding Period from Closing Date		Percentage of shares eligible to be sold or transferred
6 months		Up to 25.0%
9 months		Up to 50.0%
12 months		Up to 100.0%

The leak-out restriction may be waived by the Company, upon written request by a LLC Member, if the Company’s common stock is trading on the NYSE American or Nasdaq, and has a rolling 30-day average trading volume of 50,000 shares per day; provided, however, that (i) only up to 5% of the previous days total volume can be sold in one day and (ii) only through executing trades “On the Offer.”

The transaction costs associated with the acquisition were $10,000 in legal fees paid in cash, and are included in the purchase price allocation in the table below.

Options

The Company has issued options to purchase approximately 105,971,520 shares of its common stock at an average exercise price of $0.0262 with a fair value of approximately $37,000. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued no options to purchase shares.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized an expense of approximately $7,200 and $315,000, respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized an expense of approximately $25,000 and $847,000, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense (included in General and Administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations) determined by application of a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs: exercise price, dividend yields, risk-free interest rate, and expected annual volatility. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $1,504,700 of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense related to performance based options to purchase shares, which the Company expects to recognize, based on a weighted-average period of 2.7 years. The Company uses straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period for time-based options. For performance-based options the Company evaluates the likelihood of a vesting qualification being met, and will establish the expense based on that evaluation. The maximum contractual term of the Company’s stock options is 5 years. The Company recognizes forfeitures and expirations as they occur. Options to purchase approximately 57,877,500 shares have vested as of September 30, 2023.

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

Schedule of Valuation Assumptions of Options

	Nine Months ended September 30,
	2023			2022
Expected volatility		172.0% - 346.4	%		172.0 – 346.4	%
Expected term		1.50 – 5.0 Years			1.5 – 5.0 Years
Risk-free interest rate		0.16% - 4.64	%		0.16% - 2.10	%
Forfeiture rate		0.17	%		0.03	%

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

A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and changes during the periods ending on such dates is as follows:

Results of Operations

Net Revenues, Costs of Net Revenues and Gross Profit

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Net revenues decreased 18.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of a decrease in revenues in LWA and BLU3. Net revenue for BLU3 decreased 51.3% as a direct result of the recall of the NOMAD dive system during the fourth quarter of 2022 and the loss of sales momentum as well as a soft demand in many areas of BLU3’s market. The decrease in LWA’s revenue can be attributed to manufacturing delays in production. The decrease in LWA and BLU3’s revenues was partially offset by increased revenues in LBI, BTL and SSI. SSI’s increase can be attributed to the continued momentum of the Company’s newest product, HEED3 as well as increased demand from international users of their Spare Air product line.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, cost of net revenues was 67.7% as compared with the cost of net revenues of 65.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The cost increase as a percentage of revenue, can be directly attributed to the cost of direct labor, which accounted for a larger portion of costs and significantly impacted the profit margin. Included in cost of net revenues are royalty expenses paid to Robert Carmichael which decreased 2.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Gross profit margin was 32.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to gross profit margin of 34.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The reduction in gross margin, is directly attributable to BTL’s margin of 27.3% and LWA’s margin of (6.4)%.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Net revenues decreased 16.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of a decrease in revenues in BTL, LWA and BLU3. Net revenues for BLU3 decreased 42.1% as a direct result of the recall of the NOMAD dive system during the fourth quarter of 2022 and the slow ramp in production while repairing recalled units as well as the loss of sales momentum due to the recall. Both BLU3 and BTL’s sales showed weakness due to soft demand at the distribution levels as we believe their customer base was in a conservative posture over concerns for the US and world economy. BTL’s revenue decreased 12.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. LWA’s revenue decreased 27.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in LWA’s revenues can be attributed to delays in production by our manufacturer which has impacted LWA’s ability to deliver certain lines of product. The decrease in revenues in BLU3, LWA and BTL was partially offset by increased revenue in LBI and SSI attributable to the continued momentum of the Company’s newest product, HEED3 as well as increased demand from international users of their Spare Air product line.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cost of net revenues was 70.4% as compared with the cost of net revenues of 65.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The cost increase as a percentage of revenue, can be directly attributed to the cost of direct labor, which accounted for a larger portion of costs and significantly impacted the profit margin. Included in cost of net revenues are royalty expenses paid to Robert Carmichael which decreased 8.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Gross profit margin was 29.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to gross profit margin of 34.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The reduction in gross margin is directly attributable to reduced margins across all companies primarily attributed to reduced sales volume thereby increasing the weight of manufacturing labor negatively impacting gross margin.

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

SSA Products

Revenues decreased 12.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in revenue can be attributed to both the dealer and direct to consumer revenue channels decreasing 20.2% and 4.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. This decrease may likely be attributable to economic concerns that were lingering from late 2022. Our dealers have indicated that they were taking a conservative approach in the offseason to conserve cash for the season. BTL was able to stimulate some demand during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 with a discounting program. Affiliate sales, while the smallest segment of revenue increased 40.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The costs of revenues as a percentage of net revenues in this segment increased from 69.8% to 80.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to a decrease in margins in the Direct to Consumer and Dealer revenue channels, as a result of the discounting to stimulate revenue.

A breakdown of the revenue channels for this segment are below. Direct to Consumer represents items sold via our website, trade shows and walk-ins to our factory store. Dealer revenue represents sales to customers under dealer agreements which typically have lower margins. Affiliates are resellers of our products with which we do not have formal dealer arrangements.

High Pressure Gas Systems

Sales of high-pressure breathing air compressors decreased 27.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the nine months ended September 30, 2022, with the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreaseing 78.3% from the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in revenues can be directly attributed to delays in the manufacturing from our supply chain.

Costs of revenues as a percentage of net revenues in this segment increased to 63.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from 61.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase in cost as a percentage of revenue can be attributed to volume discounting for the large reseller in Mexico, which caused reseller cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to decreased to 70.5% as compared to 72.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Ultra Portable Tankless Dive Systems

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 in the Ultra Portable Tankless Dive System segment decreased 42.1% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the loss of sales momentum from the recall of the NOMAD dive system in the fourth quarter of 2022. Revenue was down across all channels with the largest lost to the dealer channel with a drop of 64.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Cost of revenues from this segment as a percentage of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased to 67.8% from 59.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cost of revenue as compared to revenue was impacted by increased direct labor costs in connection with the recalled product. In addition, BLU3 discounted its selling price in order to stimulate demand in all of its diving systems during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Redundant Air Tank Systems

Revenue in the Redundant Air Tank Systems System segment increased 29.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase can be attributed to increases in the Commercial, Government and Repairs sales channels increasing 203.4%, 81.8% and 93.3%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These channels are drivers of sales volume for the new HEED3 product line and have also seen increased quantity orders from the scuba related dealer base on the Spare Air product. These increases were offset by a decrease in the direct to consumer channel of 31.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The margins for the nine months ended September30, 2023 increased to 38.1% as compared to 29.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as the margins across all channels improved. This improvement can be attributed to the increased revenue from the HEED3 product which provides higher margins than SSI’s traditional product Spare Air, as well as a price increase implemented for 2023.

SSI has a worldwide customer base that includes (1) commercial accounts with aircraft requiring redundant air systems for their pilots and passengers, such as helicopters flying to oil rigs located in bodies of water (2) government accounts that are typically domestic and international military customers with egress systems (3) dealer accounts that are resellers including, international distributors to the military, commercial account or dive shops, including domestic and international dive shops that carry a spare air product (4) direct to consumer sales which are online sales and sales via trade shows direct to consumer and (5) Company provided repairs and warranty repairs to all segments.

Retail sales represent the sales of product at the retail facility, while tours and lessons represent revenue derived from diving excursions and lessons.

Revenue for this segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 78.4% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase is attributable to the inclusion of two months’ revenue included in the nine months ending September 30, 2023, as the GCS acquisition was completed in May 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 revenue increased 28.4% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily from the service segment which includes lessons and charters.

The increasing margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 21.5% and 35.6%, respectively, is attributable to the normalization of the retail product costing in the GCS inventory to reflect a more accurate cost of goods.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and research and development costs and are reported on a consolidated basis for our operating segments. Operating expenses decreased 31.9% and 32.9%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

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

SG&A decreased by 34.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 33.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the same periods in the prior year. SG&A expenses were comprised of the following:

Expense Item	Three Months Ended September 30, 2023		Three Months Ended September 30, 2022		% Change			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022		% Change

Payroll for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 14.3% and 9.5%, respectively. The decrease reflects reductions in production personnel in BLU3, as well as a reallocation of SSI direct labor from payroll expense to cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Non-Cash Stock Compensation expenses decreased by 97.7% and 97.2%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as a result of vesting milestones not being met due to the reduction in revenue for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Professional fees, including legal, accounting and other professional fees decreased 71.5% and 59.5%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 can be attributed to a decrease in legal fees of 59.9% and other professional fees of 73.3% and a decrease in accounting fees of 36.4%. The decrease in the Company’s acquisition activities in 2023 resulted in a decrease in legal fees. Additionally, the decrease in professional fees is attributable to the conversion of consultants to employees late in 2022 and the decrease in accounting fees can be attributed to new auditors who offer fixed priced services.

Advertising expenses increased by 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease in advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 13.6%, respectively. This decrease is attributable to BLU3’s decrease in advertising during its recall process. BLU3’s decrease in advertising expense was offset slightly by an increase in advertising expense for SSI.

Other expenses increased by 8.6% and 12.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, due primarily to a decrease in the reserve for recall expenses.

Research & Development Expenses (R&D Expenses)

R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, increased 53.9% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. R&D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased by 17.5%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in new product development activity.

Other Income/Expense

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, other income/expense consisted solely of interest expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, interest expense increased 79.9% from the three months ended September 30, 2022 to approximately $20,800 as compared to approximately $11,500 in the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in interest expense can be attributed to the NFS loan, the Navitas 2022 loan, and the convertible demand note from Robert Carmichael that were funded in the third and fourth quarters of 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had cash of $287,868 as of September 30, 2023. The following table summarizes total current assets, total current liabilities and working capital at September 30, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022.

	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022		% change
	(unaudited)
Total current assets	$	2,851,964	$	3,265,714		(12.7	)%
Total current liabilities	$	2,127,203	$	1,792,151		(18.1	)%
Working capital	$	724,761	$	1,473,563		(50.8	)%

The decrease in our current assets at September 30, 2023 from December 31, 2022 primarily reflected by a decrease in inventory as the Company decreased its inventory purchases to match the reduction in current demand. The decrease in current liabilities reflects a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Summary Cash Flows

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023			2022
	(unaudited)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(367,628	)	$	(499,712	)
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(28,671	)	$	(60,290	)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	199,740		$	493,935

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to the net loss of approximately $616,315. Net cash used in operating activities is also the result of a decrease in current assets, including inventory, offset by an increase in accounts receivable and accounts receivable related party which generated approximately $129,000. A net decrease in liabilities which generated approximately $29,500 primarily from an increase in customer deposits offset by a decrease in accounts payable, and related party accounts payable.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of approximately $52,000 consists of fixed asset purchases.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 reflects proceeds of $223,000 from the sale of units, and issuance of debt to related party, partially offset by the payment of debt of approximately $50,260.

Going Concern

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly 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 twelve-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, 2022 includes an explanatory paragraph stating the Company has net losses and an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds when needed, or does not have sufficient cash flows from sales, it may be required to scale back, delay or cease operations, liquidate assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection.

We have a history of losses, and an accumulated deficit of $17,053,810 as of September 30, 2023. Despite a working capital surplus of $724,761 at September 30, 2023, 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 continue to sustain adequate working capital to finance its operations. The failure to achieve the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be detrimental to the Company. We are continuing to engage in discussions with potential sources for additional capital, however, our ability to raise capital is somewhat limited based upon our revenue levels, net losses and limited market for our common stock. If we fail to raise additional funds when needed, or if we do not have sufficient cash flows from operations, we may be required to scale back or cease certain of our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of 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 consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s operations, financial position or cash flows.

These recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is a smaller reporting company and is not required to provide this information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluations as of September 30, 2023, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2023 and based upon the such evaluation, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to the material weaknesses set forth below.

	●	Insufficient number and lack of qualified accounting department and administrative personnel and support;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

	●	Segregation of duties is being analyzed and adjusted Company-wide, where possible. The Company intends to hire additional personnel in the accounting department, as well as the documentation of controls and procedures.

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

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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