ENDURANCE EXPLORATION GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2015

(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.     


On December 31, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC (“Endurance 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 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. We intend 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 Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. (formerly Tecton Corporation) and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2015.  The acquisition of the membership interests of Endurance 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 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.


In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at March 31, 2015 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been made.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.



7




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 6, 2015, 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.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.  Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no impairment losses recognized for long-lived assets.


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, 2015, 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.



8




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, 2015 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, 2015 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, 2015, the Company incurred losses of $5,697,539. 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.



9




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 (“Endurance LLC”) by issuing 20,550,539 shares of its common stock.


The majority shareholders of the Company also held a majority interest in Endurance 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 LLC at the time of the acquisition was as follows:

The Company has entered into a contract with Island Capital Management, LLC, which is related through common shareholders, to serve as its transfer agent.  It did not charge the Company for its services during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014.

On April 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Endeavour relating to the conversion of indebtedness to Endeavour in the amount of $35,000.  This amount represents advances received from Endeavour during 2014 and constitutes the balance of 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.  Endeavour converted all of such debt into shares, as a result of which the Company issued 140,000 shares to Endeavour.  


On April 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Island, a company owned and controlled by Endeavour, relating to the conversion of indebtedness to Island in the amount of $70,000.  This amount represents advances received from Island during 2014 and constitutes the balance of 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.  Island converted all of such debt into shares, as a result of which the Company issued 280,000 shares to Island.  


On June 23, 2014, the Company entered into a contract with Eclipse Group Inc. (“Eclipse”) for Eclipse to provide personnel and services to the Company in connection with the operation and monitoring of a remotely operated vehicle (“ROV”) in connection with our investigation of a suspected shipwreck located off the coast of New England. Steven Saint Amour, who serves as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Joan Saint Amour are the principal shareholders and officers of Eclipse.  The contract provides that Eclipse will provide 2 people, including Mr. Saint Amour, for approximately four 12-hour days to operate and monitor the ROV, which will be provided by the Company.  The Company will issue 100,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Saint Amour, with an agreed value of $25,000, under the contract, and reimburse Eclipse in cash for its cost for the second ROV technician.  The Company will also pay Eclipse in cash its cost plus 15% for all third party costs incurred by Eclipse, and provide Mr. Saint Amour and the second technician with food and lodging during the assignment.


On September 3, 2014, the Company entered into a contract with Overseas Marine Vessel Corp, LLC (“OMVC”) pursuant to which it will provide the Marine Vessel Manisee in support of an estimated 10-day mission to investigate, identify and recovery artifacts from one or more shipwrecks located in our search area off the coast of New England.  We will reimburse OMVC in cash for all its out-of-pocket expenses only, including but not limited to, mooring, food, fuel, lube, satellite communications and crew costs.  Toni Eldred, the spouse of Micah Eldred, is a fifty percent owner of OMVC, and Micah Eldred is the co-manager of OMVC.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015, Endeavour Cooperative Partners, LLC made advances to the Company in the aggregate amount of $23,500, in order to provide the Company with funds to carry on its operations.  These advances do not bear interest, are unsecured and have no specific terms of repayment.  As of March 31, 2015, the aggregate amount of such advances outstanding was $5,000.


NOTE F – PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS AND REVERSE SPLIT


On May 6, 2013, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Endeavour Cooperative Partners, LLC (“Endeavour”), in the amount of $272,356 as described under Note E above.  On May 8, 2013, Endeavour filed a notice of conversion for $3,400 of its debt, in exchange for 19,736,560 of pre-reverse split preferred shares.  These shares converted to 493,414 shares of preferred stock after the reverse split described below.


On May 31, 2013, the Company affected a 1 share for 40 shares reverse split of its common and preferred stock.  As a result, the issued and outstanding shares at that date were decreased from 79,736,560 to 1,993,495.  The authorized shares at that date were then decreased from 100,000,000 to 2,500,000; 2,000,000 shares of common stock and 500,000 preferred shares.


On July 22, 2013, the Company amended and restated its Articles of Incorporation to increase the total authorized capital stock of the corporation to 110,000,000 shares, being comprised of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.001.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


As used in this report, the terms "we", "us", "our," “Endurance” and “the Company” mean Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. (formerly Tecton Corporation), unless otherwise indicated.


This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report and the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).


Our discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the Company, our beliefs, and assumptions made by us. 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. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report. Our actual results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.


Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the risk factors which are identified in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, including factors identified under the headings “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”


All dollar amounts refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated.


Plan of Operation


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. In October of 2014 we believe we positively identified the target of Project “Sailfish,” the Steamship S.S. Connaught. We intend to return to the site of the S.S. Connaught in 2015 to recover its cargo. The cost of recovering the cargo of the S.S. Connaught is estimated to be $1,200,000.  The Company needs additional working capital to recover the cargo of the S.S. Connaught.  There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in securing additional working capital and therefore cannot represent it will ever be in position to recover the cargo of the S.S. Connaught.


In November 2013, Endurance LLC entered into a contract with the sovereign government of an island nation in the Indian Ocean. The contract provides us with a three-year period in which to operate within the territorial waters of the nation with full permission to survey for and recover the “Black Marlin” and her silver cargo.  Net proceeds of our recovery efforts, after payment of the costs to transport, store and insure any recovered items, will be split between us (75%) and the island government (25%).  The cost of finding and recovering the cargo of the “Black Marlin” is estimated to be $2,000,000. The Company needs additional working capital to undertake the search for the “Black Marlin”.  There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in securing additional working capital and therefore cannot represent it will ever be in position to search for and recover the cargo of the “Black Marlin”.  


Results of Operations


The following information represents our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014



14




Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014


Revenue


Since inception through March 31, 2015, we have not generated any revenues.  However, during this period of time, the Company has acquired a ship, side scan sonar, topside computer processing of sonar images and a remotely operated vehicle with cameras that can visually inspect things located by the side scan sonar.  The Company, through contracted personnel, has also developed an operational capability for this ship and its equipment.  The Company can also access, on a contract basis, additional ships, equipment and personnel on a case-by-case basis when needed.  This capability allows the Company to offer aquatic research, survey, inspection and recovery, as well as maritime contract services and consulting to both the public and private sectors that contract for such equipment and services.  As of the time of this filing there are no agreement or contracts for the use of the Company equipment or the services described herein and the Company needs additional working capital to continue to offer said equipment and services.  Therefore, the Company cannot represent that, in the future, it will ever generate revenue from aquatic research, survey, inspection and recovery projects, as well as maritime contract services and consulting.


Expenses


We incurred operations and research expenses of $11,736 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $36,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $24,414.


We incurred marketing and promotion expenses of $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $19,860 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $19,860.


We incurred general and administrative expenses of $37,749 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $52,389 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $14,640.  The general and administrative costs consist primarily of legal and professional fees.


Net Losses


For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we incurred a net loss of $73,211 as compared to $131,968 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.


Current Liquidity and Capital Resources


Since inception, we have funded our operations through the sale of equity securities and advances made to us by our officers and directors and their affiliated entities.


As of March 31, 2015, we had $965 in cash.  


Net cash used by operating activities was $23,585 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.   


Net cash used by investing activities was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.


Net cash provided by financing activities was $23,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.


Other Recent Financings


On April 7, 2014, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Endeavour Cooperative Partners, LLC (“Endeavour”) relating to the conversion of indebtedness to Endeavour 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.  Endeavour converted all of such debt into shares, as a result of which we issued 140,000 shares to Endeavour.  



15




On April 7, 2014, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Island Capital Management, LLC (“Island”), a company owned and controlled by Endeavour, relating to the conversion of indebtedness to Island 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.  Island converted all of such debt into shares, as a result of which we issued 280,000 shares to Island.  


On June 24, 2014, we entered into a contract with Eclipse Group Inc. (“Eclipse”) for Eclipse to provide personnel and services to us in connection with the operation and monitoring of a remotely operated vehicle (“ROV”) in connection with our investigation of a suspected shipwreck located off the coast of New England. Steven Saint Amour, who serves as a member of our Board of Directors, and Joan Saint Amour are the principal shareholders and officers of Eclipse.  The contract provides that Eclipse will provide 2 people, including Mr. Saint Amour, for approximately four 12-hour days to operate and monitor the ROV, which will be provided by us.  We issued 100,000 shares of common stock to Eclipse Group Inc., with an agreed value of $25,000, under the contract, and reimbursed Eclipse in cash for its cost for the second ROV technician.


During the three months ended March 31, 2015, Endeavour Cooperative Partners, LLC made advances to the Company in the aggregate amount of $23,500, in order to provide the Company with funds to carry on its operations.  These advances do not bear interest, are unsecured and have no specific terms of repayment.  As of March 31, 2015, the aggregate amount of such advances outstanding was $5,000. Management has not imputed interest on these advances as the amounts are deemed immaterial.


Future Capital Requirements


Our current available cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements.  Our capital requirements for 2015 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 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.  The offering, dated April 28, 2014, expired September 30, 2014 and is being amended to extend the termination date of the offering and to provide for changes in broker/dealer compensation.  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.


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, 2015 and 2014, we did not incur 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.



16




Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


As of March 31, 2015, 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, 2015, 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, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.


There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
