ENDURANCE EXPLORATION GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2014

(Unaudited)


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.


Description of Business


Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. (formerly Tecton Corporation) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 19, 2006, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hemis Corporation.  On December 1, 2006 Hemis declared a dividend of Tecton shares to all shareholders as of that date and concurrently cancelled its share ownership in the Company.  The effect of this dividend declaration and share cancellation was that Tecton was spun off as an independent company.


On November 8, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a change of the Company’s fiscal year from January 31, to December 31.  This Form 10Q for the three months ended March 31, 2014 represents the first quarterly filing for the new fiscal year.  The comparative data presented in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are for the three months ended April 30, 2013 are consistent with the prior year’s filings prior to the transition to the calendar year.  A restatement of the prior year amounts to reflect the transition to calendar quarters has been deemed by management to be immaterial and cost prohibitive, and thus has not been done.   


On December 31, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group LLC, a Florida limited liability company, in exchange for 20,550,539 shares of the Company’s Common Stock being issued to the former members.  Endurance Exploration Group LLC is now a wholly owned subsidiary with its operations being the Company’s primary focus.  

Endurance Exploration Group LLC is engaged in the archaeologically sensitive exploration and recovery of deep-ocean shipwrecks throughout the world.  The Company intends to recover bullion, precious metals, numismatic-grade coinage, high-value non-ferrous metals and other valuable cargos from both historic and modern shipwrecks.


On January 2, 2014, the Company changed its name to Endurance Exploration Group, Inc.


Our corporate headquarters are located in Clearwater, Florida.


Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation


These consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014.  As the acquisition of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group LLC and its wholly owned Panamanian subsidiary formed to hold the registry of a research vessel, occurred as of the close of its business on December 31, 2013.  The results of operations for this acquired company are reported commencing with January 1, 2014.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.




6





In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at March 31, 2014 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and April 30, 2013 have been made.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.


Subsequent Events


The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 14, 2014 to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in this report. Based upon this evaluation, management determined that all subsequent events that require recognition in the financial statements have been included.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Fixed Assets


Fixed assets are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method at rates based on the assets’ estimated useful lives which are normally between three and ten years.  When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or lease term, if shorter. Equipment and major overhaul items (such as engines or generators) that enhance or extend the useful life of vessel related assets qualify to be capitalized and depreciated over the useful life or remaining life of that asset, whichever is shorter. Certain major repair items required by industry standards to ensure a vessel’s seaworthiness also qualify to be capitalized and depreciated over the period of time until the next scheduled planned major maintenance for that item. All other repairs and maintenance are accounted for under the direct-expensing method and are expensed when incurred.


Income Taxes


The Company uses the liability method to record income tax activity. Deferred taxes are determined based upon the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws.


The accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements uses the threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination for inclusion or exclusion. Measurement of the tax uncertainty occurs if the recognition threshold has been met.


Net Earnings (Losses) Per Common Share


The Company computes earnings (loss) per share by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Dilutive common stock equivalents may consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise of the Company's stock options  (calculated using the treasury stock method).  As of March 31, 2014, there were 5,000,000 common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation. Common stock issuable is considered outstanding as of the original approval date for purposes of earnings per share computations.




7





Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The fair value of financial instruments, which include cash, loans receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and advances from related parties were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from financial instruments.


Comprehensive Income


The Company records comprehensive income as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. As of March 31, 2014 the Company had no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.


Stock Based Compensation


Stock based compensation costs are measured at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The Company determines the fair value of awards using the Black - Scholes valuation model.


New Accounting Pronouncements


The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to March 31, 2014 through the date these financial statements were issued.


NOTE B – GOING CONCERN MATTERS


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the period January 19, 2006 (date of inception) to March 31, 2014, the Company incurred losses of $5,072,182. The Company has minimal liquid assets. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.


The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


NOTE C – ACQUISITION OF ENDURANCE EXPLORATION GROUP LLC MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS


On December 31, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group LLC, a Florida limited liability company by issuing 20,550,539 shares of its common stock.


The majority shareholders of the Company also held a majority interest in Endurance Exploration Group LLC, and maintained controlling interests in both entities both before and after the transaction.  Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a corporate reorganization because of the common control.  The book value of Endurance Exploration Group LLC at the time of the acquisition was as follows:

In addition, we may make other written or oral statements, which constitute forward-looking statements, from time to time. Words such as “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives, or goals also are forward-looking statements.

All dollar amounts refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated.


Plan of Operation


We intend to continue survey operations in the summer season of 2014. Side-scan sonar survey operations on Project “Sailfish” began in July of 2013. Over the course of this initial survey, approximately 700 square miles were digitally mapped. This sonar imagery was then post-processed and evaluated for potential targets. Our current plan of operations is to return for further sonar survey, target identification and recovery work.


As of November 2013, we finalized a contract with the sovereign government of an island nation in the Indian Ocean. The provisions allow for a three-year period in which to operate within the territorial and surrounding waters of the nation with full permissions to survey for and recover the “Black Marlin” and her silver cargo. Proceeds from recovery and sale are subject to a graduated distribution, with 100% first going to cover expedition costs and with a 70% / 30% split thereafter in our favor. We expect to begin initial survey operations on project “Black Marlin” in mid-2014


Results of Operations


The following information represents our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the three months ended April 30, 2013, exclusive of the historical operations of Endurance Exploration Group LLC.  Pro forma combined results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, giving effect to the acquisition of Endurance Exploration Group LLC as if it had taken place on January 1, 2013, are included in the notes to the financial statements for comparative purposes.


Revenue


Since our inception on January 19, 2006 to March 31, 2014, we have not generated any revenues.  With the acquisition of Endurance Exploration Group LLC, we hope to begin generating revenue in 2014 from aquatic research, survey, inspection and recovery projects, as well as maritime contract services and consulting.

Expenses


We incurred operations and research expenses of $36,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $0 for the three months ended April 30, 2013.  These expenses are all related to the operations of Endurance Exploration Group LLC.


We incurred marketing and promotion expenses of $19,860 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $0 for the three months ended April 30, 2013.   These expenses are all related to the operations of Endurance Exploration Group LLC.


We incurred general and administrative expenses of $52,389 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $26,950 for the three months ended April 30, 2013, an increase of $25,439.  The general and administrative costs consist primarily of legal and professional fees.


Net Losses


For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred a net loss of $131,968 as compared to $27,325 for the three months ended April 30, 2013.


Current Liquidity and Capital Resources


Since Endeavour Cooperative Partners, LLC, acquired control of the Company in January 2013, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities in private placements and debt financing.


As of March 31, 2014, we had $6,700 in cash.  


Net cash used by operating activities was $88,170 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.   


Net cash used by investing activities was $8,534 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.


Net cash provided by financing activities was $100,864 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  This amount represents funds advanced from related parties to facilitate operations for the period.


Other Recent Financings


On April 7, 2014, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC, a company controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, in the amount of $35,000.  This amount represents the related party debt payable to Endeavour as of that date.  The terms of the agreement allowed for Endeavour to convert this debt into common stock at $0.25 per share.  On April 7, 2014, Endeavour filed a notice of conversion for $35,000 of its debt, in exchange for 140,000 common shares.  


On April 7, 2014, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Island Capital Management, LLC, a company controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, in the amount of $70,000.  This amount represents the related party debt payable to Island as of that date.  The terms of the agreement allowed for Island to convert this debt into common stock at $0.25 per share.  On April 7, 2014, Island filed a notice of conversion for $70,000 of its debt, in exchange for 280,000 common shares.  


Future Capital Requirements


Our current available cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements.  Our capital requirements for 2014 will depend on numerous factors, including management’s evaluation of the timing of projects to pursue. Subject to our ability to generate revenues and cash flow from operations and our ability to raise additional capital (including through possible joint ventures and/or partnerships), we expect to incur substantial expenditures to carry out our business plan, as well as costs associated with our capital raising efforts and being a public company.  


Our plans to finance our operations include seeking both equity and debt financing, alliances or other partnership agreements, or other business transactions, that would generate sufficient resources to ensure continuation of our operations.  We are currently engaged in an offering of up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.25 per share to accredited investors pursuant to Rule 506(c) under Regulation D and Regulation S.  However, the offering is being conducted on a best efforts basis, and there can be no assurance that any shares will be sold in the offering.




13




We will require substantial funds, not only for administration and public company costs, but also to conduct full marine survey and recovery operations.  Our principal shareholder, Micah Eldred has committed to loan to us, or cause companies controlled by him to loan to us, up to $15,000 per month, if necessary, as the amount estimated for those administration and public company costs.  In addition, Mr. Eldred has also committed to loan funds during the second quarter sufficient to conduct preliminary ROV inspection of selected targets identified in the 2013 survey season.  We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong.  


The sale of additional equity or debt securities may result in additional dilution to our shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations.  Any such required additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we were unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned activities and limit our operations which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Research and Development


For the three months ended March 31, 2014, and the three months ended April 30, 2013, we did not have any research and development expenses.


Inflation


The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


As of March 31, 2014, we had no off balance sheet transactions that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Not applicable.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


As of March 31, 2014, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.


There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
