Part 1: Financial Information

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

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2016 or for any future period.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Seafarer Exploration Corp. (the “Company”), formerly Organetix, Inc. (“Organetix”), was incorporated on May 28, 2003 in the State of Delaware.

The principal business of the Company is to develop the infrastructure necessary to engage in the archaeologically-sensitive exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks. During 2008, the Company changed its fiscal year end from April 30 to December 31.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred net losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based on its historical rate of expenditures, the Company expects to expend its available cash in less than one month from November 14, 2016. Management's plans include raising capital through the equity markets to fund operations and, eventually, the generation of revenue through its business. The Company does not expect to generate any revenues for the foreseeable future.

Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock is unknown. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; however, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classifications of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of Seafarer Exploration Corp. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed financial statements.

Accounting Method

The Company’s condensed financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability is reasonably assured. For the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not report any revenues.

Earnings Per Share

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260-10 which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Basic and diluted losses per share were the same at the reporting dates as there were no common stock equivalents outstanding at September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2008, fair value measurements are determined by the Company's adoption of authoritative guidance issued by the FASB, with the exception of the application of the statement to non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities, as permitted. Fair value is defined in the authoritative guidance as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

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

Level 2 – Valuation based on, observable inputs (other than level one prices), quoted market prices for similar assets such as at the measurement date; quoted prices in the market that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

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

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The valuation of the Company’s notes recorded at fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs, which consider (i) time value, (ii) current market and (iii) contractual prices.

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, notes payable and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities by level measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015:

Description	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Notes payable at fair value	$-	$-	$311,076

The following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities by level measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2016:

Description	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Notes payable at fair value	$-	$-	$-

The following assets and liabilities are measured on the balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing significant unobservable inputs or Level 3 assumptions in their valuation. The following tables provide a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the liabilities:

The change in the notes payable at fair value for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 is as follows:

			New
	Fair Value	Change in fair	Convertible		Fair Value
	January 1, 2016	Value	Notes	Conversions	September 30, 2016

Notes payable at fair value	$311,074	$109,992	$135,884	$(556,950)	$ -

The change in the notes payable at fair value for the three months ended September 30, 2016 are as follows:

	Fair Value	Change in fair	Convertible		Fair Value
	June 30, 2016	Value	Notes	Conversions	September 30, 2016

Notes payable at fair value	$186,605	$221,059	$-	$(407,664)	$ -

All gains and losses on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy are recognized in interest income or expense in the accompanying financial statements.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the liabilities described above present value of the future interest payments.

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Property and equipment, net consist of the following at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

	September 30, 2016	December 31, 2015
Diving vessel	$326,005	$326,005
Equipment	32,420	7,420
Less accumulated depreciation	(295,637)	(270,149)
	$62,788	$63,276

Depreciation expense for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 amounted to $25,488.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company, on a regular basis, reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows, before interest, from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. There were no impairment charges recorded during the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Employee Stock Based Compensation

The FASB issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment , which was superseded by ASC 718-10. ASC 718-10 provides investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information, by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements, including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has not implemented an employee stock based compensation plan.

Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services , which was superseded by ASC 505-50. The Company has previously issued compensatory shares for various services including, but not limited to, executive, board of directors, business consulting, corporate advisory, accounting, research, archeological, operations, strategic planning, corporate communications, financial, legal and administrative consulting services. As determined by Management the Company may issue compensatory shares in the future for these or other services.

Use of Estimates

The process of preparing condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the condensed financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

Convertible Notes Payable

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as defined by ASC 815-40.

The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial conversion features. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Convertible Notes Payable at Fair Value

The Company elected to account for this hybrid contract under the guidance of ASC 815-15-25-4. This guidance allows an entity that initially recognizes a hybrid financial instrument that under paragraph ASC 815-15-25-1 would be required to be separated into a host contract and a derivative instrument may irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure that hybrid financial instrument in its entirety at fair value (with changes in fair value recognized in earnings).

The fair value election is also available when a previously recognized financial instrument subject to a re-measurement event and the separate recognition of an embedded derivative. The fair value election may be made instrument by instrument. For purposes of this paragraph, a re-measurement event (new basis event) is an event identified in generally accepted accounting principles, other than the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment, that requires a financial instrument to be re-measured to its fair value at the time of the event but does not require that instrument to be reported at fair value on a continuous basis with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. Examples of re-measurement events are business combinations and significant modifications of debt as defined in Subtopic 470-50.

The Company is authorized to sell or issue 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Series A Preferred Stock

At September 30, 2016, the Company had seven shares of Series A preferred stock issued and outstanding. Each share of Series A preferred stock has the right to convert into 214,289 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, no shares of preferred stock had been converted into shares of the Company’s common stock.

Series B Preferred Stock

On February 10, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company under the authority granted under Article V of the Articles of Incorporation, defined and created a new preferred series of shares from the 50,000,000 authorized preferred shares. Pursuant to Article V, the Board of Directors has the power to designate such shares and all powers and matters concerning such shares. Such share class shall be designated Preferred Class B. The preferred class was created for 60 Preferred Class B shares. Such shares each have a voting power equal to one percent of the outstanding shares issued (totaling 60%) at the time of any vote action as necessary for share votes under Florida law, with or without a shareholder meeting. Such shares are non-convertible to common stock of the Company and are not considered as convertible under any accounting measure. Such shares shall only be held by the Board of Directors as a Corporate body, and shall not be placed into any individual name. Such shares were considered issued at the time of this resolution’s adoption, and do not require a stock certificate to exist, unless selected to do so by the Board for representational purposes only.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate and the provision for income taxes are as follows:

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016	For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015
Income tax at federal statutory rate	(34.00)%	(34.00)%
State tax, net of federal effect	(3.96)%	(3.96)%
	37.96%	37.96%
Valuation allowance	(37.96)%	(37.96)%
Effective rate	0.00%	0.00%

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s only significant deferred income tax asset was an estimated net tax operating loss of $12,518,000 and $11,326,000 respectively that is available to offset future taxable income, if any, in future periods, subject to expiration and other limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has considered the Company's operating losses incurred to date and believes that a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets is required as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Company is preparing information for tax returns for past years. Due to the Company’s lack of revenue since inception, management does not believe that there is any income tax liability for past years. Management has evaluated tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 and has not identified any tax positions, other than those discussed above, that require disclosure.

NOTE 7 - LEASE OBLIGATION

Corporate Office

The Company leases 823 square feet of office space located at 14497 North Dale Mabry Highway, Suite 209-N, Tampa, Florida 33618. The Company entered into an amended lease agreement commencing on July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017.

The Company has an operating lease for a house located in Palm Bay, Florida. The Company uses the house to store equipment and gear and to provide temporary work-related living quarters for its divers, personnel, consultants and independent contractors involved in its exploration and recovery operations. The term of the lease agreement commenced on October 1, 2015 and expired on October 31, 2016. The Company is leasing the property on a month to month basis subsequent to October 31, 2016 under the same terms. The Company pays $1,300 per month to lease the operations house.

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND NOTES PAYABLE

The Company evaluates each financial instrument to determine whether it meets the definition of “conventional convertible” debt under ASC 815-40. The note payable conversion feature of the outstanding convertible debt met the definition of conventional convertible for purposes of applying the conventional convertible exemption. The definition of conventional contemplates a limitation on the number of shares issuable under the arrangement. Since the convertible notes achieved the conventional convertible exemption, the Company was required to consider whether the hybrid contracts embody a beneficial conversion feature. The calculation of the effective conversion amount did result in a beneficial conversion feature.

Note Conversions

A lender who had a convertible promissory note outstanding with a remaining principal balance of $38,000 elected to convert a portion of the principal balance of $13,348 of the note plus accrued interest and late fees of $6,652 into 12,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The remaining principal balance of this note was $23,652 at September 30, 2016

A lender elected to convert the entire principal balance of $15,000 of a convertible promissory note into 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The remaining principal balance of this note was $0 at September 30, 2016.

A lender elected to receive 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to pay down $10,000 of the principle balance of a promissory note. The remaining principal balance of this note was $7,000 at September 30, 2016.

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, combined accrued interest on the convertible notes payable, notes payable and stockholder loans was $154,790 and $135,581 respectively, and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.

Convertible Notes Payable and Notes Payable, in Default

The Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to refinance its convertible notes payable and notes payable that are currently in default. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, such lenders may file suit, including suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral for the obligations arising under the secured notes. If any of the lenders file suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral, then the Company may be forced to significantly scale back or cease its operations which would more than likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company. The fact that the Company is in default of several promissory notes held by various lenders makes investing in the Company or providing any loans to the Company extremely risky with a very high potential for a complete loss of capital.

Shareholder Loans

At September 30, 2016 the Company had two loans outstanding to its CEO totaling $29,270, consisting of a loan in the amount of $28,070 with a 6% annual rate of interest and a loan in the amount of $1,200 at 6% rate of interest and an option to convert the loan into restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.002, and, a loan in the amount of $1,200 at a rate of 0% interest.

Convertible Notes Payable at Fair Value

Convertible Note Payable Dated August 28, 2015 at Fair Value

On August 28, 2015 the Company entered into a convertible note payable with a corporation. The note payable, with a face value of $44,000, including a $4,000 of original issue discount, bears interest at 12.0% per annum and is due on August 28, 2016. The convertible note payable is convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at the Variable Conversion Price. The Variable Conversion Price is defined as 62% multiplied by the lowest closing bid price for the Company’s common stock during the twenty (20) trading day period including the day the notice of conversion is received by the Company. If the Company’s market capitalization is less than $1,000,000 on the day immediately prior to the date of the notice of conversion, then the conversion price shall be 25% multiplied by the lowest closing price as of the date notice of conversion is given and if the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the day immediately prior to the date of the notice of conversion is less than $0.00075 then the conversion price shall be 25% multiplied by the lowest closing price as of the date a notice of conversion is given. The conversion feature is subject to full-ratchet, anti-dilution protection if the Company sells shares or share-indexed financing instruments at less than the conversion price.

In the evaluation of the financing arrangement, the Company concluded that the conversion feature did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. Since equity classification is not available for the conversion feature, it requires bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value. The Company elected to account for this hybrid contract under the guidance of ASC 815-15-25-4.

In connection with the issuance of the convertible note payable, the Company recognized day-one derivative loss totaling $76,210 related to the recognition of (i) the hybrid note and (ii) the derivative instrument arising from the fair value measurement due to the fair value of the hybrid note and embedded derivative exceeding the proceeds that the Company received from the arrangement. Therefore, the Company was required to record a $76,210 loss on the derivative financial instrument. In addition, the fair value will change in future periods, based upon changes in the Company’s common stock price and changes in other assumptions and market indicators used in the valuation techniques. These future changes will be currently recognized in interest expense or interest income on the Company’s statement of operations.

The conversion of the note into shares of the Company’s common stock is potentially highly dilutive to current shareholders. If the note holder elects to sell the shares that it has acquired as a result of converting the note into shares of common stock, then any such sales may result in a significant decrease in the market price of the Company’s shares.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, the principle balance and accrued interest was converted into 54,561,311 shares of common stock.

Convertible Note Payable Dated September 3, 2015 at Fair Value

Any additional amount borrowed under this note would require approval of both the Company and the lender. The convertible note payable is convertible, at the holder’s option, into the Company’s common shares at the Variable Conversion Price. The Variable Conversion Price is defined as 65% multiplied by the lowest trade price for the Company’s common stock in the twenty-five (25) trading day period previous to the conversion. The conversion feature is subject to full-ratchet, anti-dilution protection if the Company sells shares or share-indexed financing instruments at less than the conversion price.

In connection with the issuance of the convertible note payable, the Company recognized day-one derivative loss totaling $42,308 related to the recognition of (i) the hybrid note and (ii) the derivative instrument arising from the fair value measurement due to the fair value of the hybrid note and embedded derivative exceeding the proceeds that the Company received from the arrangement.

In addition, the fair value will change in future periods, based upon changes in the Company’s common stock price and changes in other assumptions and market indicators used in the valuation techniques.

An earlier named party, CADEF, The Childhood Autism Foundation, Inc., had previously entered into a settlement agreement and is no longer a party in the Litigation.

The settlement called for both cases to be dismissed, with prejudice, and the Plaintiffs in case number 09-CA-30763 agreed to surrender and cancel all of their 32,300,000 shares of restricted common stock which were returned to the treasury of the Corporation.

At the present time the dismissal has been filed and the case closed, with all shares cancelled.

On June 18, 2013, Seafarer began litigation against Tulco Resources, LLC, in a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court in and for Hillsborough County, Florida. Such suit was filed for against Tulco based upon for breach of contract, equitable relief and injunctive relief. Tulco was the party holding the rights under a permit to a treasure site at Juno Beach, Florida. Tulco and Seafarer had entered into contracts in March 2008, and later renewed under an amended agreement on June 11, 2010. Such permit was committed to by Tulco to be an obligation and contractual duty to which they would be responsible for payment of all costs in order for the permit to be reissued. Such obligation is contained in the agreement of March 2008 which was renewed in the June 2010 agreement between Seafarer and Tulco. Tulco made the commitment to be responsible for payments of all necessary costs for the gaining of the new permit. Tulco never performed on such obligation, and Seafarer during the period of approximately March 2008 and April 2012 had endeavored and even had to commence a lawsuit to gain such permit which was awarded in April 2012. Seafarer alleges in their complaint the expenditure of large amounts of shares and monies for financing and for delays due to Tulco’s non-performance. Seafarer seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief for the award of all rights held by Tulco to Seafarer Seafarer gained a default and final Judgment on such matter on July 23, 2014. Seafarer is now working with the State for the renewed permit to be in Seafarer’s name and rights only, with Tulco removed per the Order of the Court. On March 4, 2015, the Court awarded full rights to the Juno sight to Seafarer Exploration, erasing all rights of Tulco Resources. The company has currently filed an Admiralty Claim over such sight in the United States District Court which is pending final ruling. On October 21, 2016 a hearing on the Admiralty Claim in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida was held, where the Court Ordered actions to take place for ongoing admiralty claim, which will occur during the month of November 2016. The Company expects to complete such claim within a few months.

On September 3, 2014, the Company filed a lawsuit against Darrel Volentine, of California. Mr. Volentine was sued in two counts of libel per se under Florida law, as well as a count for injunction against the Defendant to exclude and prohibit internet postings. Such lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court in Hillsborough County, Florida. Such suit is based upon internet postings on www.investorshub.com. On or about October 15, 2015, the Company and Volentine entered into a stipulation whereby Volentine admitted to his tortious conduct, however the stipulated damages agreed to were rejected by the Court, and the Company is proceeding to trial on damages against Volentine in a non-jury trial on December 1, 2015. The Defendant is the subject of a contempt of court motion which was heard on April 7, 2016, whereby the Court found a violation and modified the injunction against the Defendant, and imposed other matters of potential penalties against the Defendant. The Court also awarded attorney’s fees against the Defendant on behalf of Seafarer for such motion. The Defendant subsequently attempted to have such ruling, evidence and testimony attacked through a motion heard before the Court on October 24, 2016. The Court dismissed the Defendant’s motion after presentation of the Defendant’s case at the hearing. The Plaintiff has set the matter for entry of the attorney’s fees amount due from the Defendant for hearing in December 2016.

It has been estimated, but not verified, by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (“UNESCO”) that there are over three million undiscovered shipwrecks around the world and a few of these shipwrecks were lost with verifiable cargoes that contained valuable materials, including artifacts and treasure. However, many of these shipwrecks may have very little archaeological or historical value.

The Company’s principal business plan is to develop the infrastructure to engage in the archaeologically-sensitive exploration, recovery and conservation of historic shipwrecks. Once artifacts have been properly conserved, they will be made available for scientific research and allowed to be displayed for the public. The Company believes it will eventually be conducting archaeological research around the world and potentially supporting organizations like UNESCO and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) in the documentation of historic shipwrecks. The business plan also includes in-depth archival research and translation of historical documents from various international archives and repositories. These translations of archival research will be made available to government states, university researchers, NOAA, UNESCO, and other responsible academic parties upon reasonable request. In addition to the research, there is ongoing education of personnel involved in operations with the Company. College level courses in archaeology are being periodically taught by a Ph.D. in a program to help educate the personnel in context, work methodology, documentation, and conservation. It is the Company’s intent to have the highest educated personnel possible.

This type of business venture is extremely speculative in nature and carries a tremendous amount of risk. An investment in our securities is highly speculative and extremely risky and should only be considered by those investors or lenders who do not require liquidity and who can afford to suffer a complete and total loss of their investment.

The exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks involves a multi-year, multi stage process. It may take many years and/or be prohibitively expensive to locate, if any are ever located at all, and recover valuable artifacts from historic shipwrecks. Locating and recovering valuable artifacts is very challenging and the probability that the Company will locate and recover valuable artifacts or treasure is remote. If the Company is able to recover valuable artifacts, the artifacts will be very expensive to conserve and store. If the Company is not able to locate and recover artifacts or treasure that are of significant value, then there is high probability that the Company will face adverse consequences.

Underwater recovery operations are inherently difficult and dangerous and may be delayed or suspended by weather, sea conditions or other natural hazards. In addition, even though sea conditions in a particular search location may be somewhat predictable, the possibility exists that unexpected conditions may occur, and already have occurred, that adversely affect the Company’s operations. It is also possible that natural hazards may prevent or significantly delay exploration and recovery operations.

In addition to natural hazards there are constant repair and maintenance issues with historic shipwreck exploration and recovery vessels, which tend to be older vessels that were originally used in other capacities that have been converted for use in historic shipwreck exploration and recovery operations. The repairs, maintenance and upkeep of this type of vessel, and in particular the Company’s main vessel, is time consuming and can be very expensive and there may be significant periods of vessel down time that results from needed repairs being made or a lack of current financing to make repairs to the vessel.

Furthermore, there are very strict international, federal and state laws that govern the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks. While the Company has been able to obtain some permits, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure future permits or be able to enter into agreements with government agencies in order to explore and salvage historic shipwrecks.

Obtaining permits and entering into agreements with governmental and quasi-governmental agencies to conduct historic shipwreck exploration and recovery operations is generally a very complex, time consuming, and expensive process. Furthermore, the process of entering into agreements and/or obtaining permits may be subject to lengthy delays, possibly in excess of a year.

The reasons for a lengthy permitting process may be due to a number of potential factors including but not limited to requests by permitting agencies for additional information, submitted applications that need to be revised or updated, newly discovered information that needs to be added to an application or agreement, changes to either the agreement or permit terms or revisions to other information contained in the permit, excessive administrative time lags at permitting agencies, etc. The length of time it takes to obtain permits or enter into agreements may cause the Company to expend significant resources while gearing up to do work with little or no visibility as to the timing of receiving a permit.

It is also possible that permits that are sought for potential future international projects may never be issued, and if issued, may not be legal or honored by the entities that issued them. Even if the Company is able to obtain permits for shipwreck projects there is a possibility that the shipwrecks may have already been recovered or may not be found, or may not have had anything valuable on board at the time that they sank.

It is the Company’s intent to find shipwrecks where available research suggests there were not any previous recovery efforts or past recovery efforts failed or were not completed. In the event that valuable artifacts are located and recovered, it is possible that the cost of recovery will exceed the value of the artifacts recovered. It is also possible that other entities, including both private parties and governmental entities, will assert conflicting claims and challenge the Company’s rights to the recovered artifacts which could lead to lengthy and expensive legal issues.

Moreover, there is the possibility that should the Company be successful in locating and recovering artifacts that have significant archeological, historical and/or monetary value that a country whose ship was recovered may attempt to assert ownership of the artifacts by pursuing litigation. In the event that the Company is able to make a valid claim to artifacts or other items at a shipwreck site there is a risk of theft of such items at sea, both before or after the recovery or while the artifacts are in transit to a designated and safe destination, as well as when stored in a secured location. Such thefts may not be adequately covered by insurance. Based on a number of these and other potential issues the Company could spend a great deal of time and invest a large sum in a specific shipwreck project and receive very little or no salvage claim or revenue for its work.

There are a number significant issues and challenges that make the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks a speculative and highly risky business venture including, but not limited to, government regulation, the Company’s inability to secure permits and contracts or lengthy delays in obtaining permits or entering into agreements, periodic lack of financing, lack of revenue and cash flow and continued losses from operations. There is also a significant expense involved in research and ongoing educational programs. Research expenses involve paying scientists for translations, dues and fees for various historical entities such as archives, travel and accommodations, and research materials.

There is a possibility that the Company will be forced to cease its operations if it is not successful in eventually locating valuable artifacts or treasure. If the Company were to cease its operations, then it is likely that there would be complete loss of all capital invested in or borrowed by the Company. As such, an investment in Seafarer is extremely speculative and of exceptionally high risk.

There is currently a limited trading market for our securities. We cannot assure when and if an active-trading market in our shares will be established, or whether any such market will be sustained or sufficiently liquid to enable holders of shares of our common stock to liquidate their investment in our company. The sale of unregistered and restricted securities by current shareholders, including shares issued to consultants and shares issued to settle convertible promissory notes and to settle other loans and debt, may cause a significant decline in the market price of the Company’s securities.

Accordingly, an investment in our securities is highly speculative and extremely risky and should only be considered by those investors who do not require liquidity and who can afford to suffer a complete and total loss of their investment. An investor should consider consulting with professional financial advisers before making an investment in our securities.

Plan of Operation

During the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company has taken the following steps to implement its business plan:

●	To date, the Company has devoted its time towards establishing its business to develop the infrastructure capable of researching, exploring, and recovering historic shipwrecks. The Company has performed some research, exploration and recovery activities.

●	Spent considerable time and money researching potential shipwrecks, including past physical visits to obtain information from foreign archives.

●

Although the Company has not generated revenues to date our business goals continue to evolve. Relationships are being developed with foreign dignitaries and scientists around the world for the purpose of identifying, researching, locating and obtaining the exploration rights to historic shipwrecks.

●	The Company is discussing and reviewing revenue producing opportunities at this time.

The Company has evaluated various opportunities to enter into agreements or contracts to conduct exploration and recovery operations at known historic shipwreck locations or potential locations. The Company has previously spent some of its efforts exploring what it believes may be a historic shipwreck site located off of Juno Beach, Florida. As previously noted on its form 8-K filed on May 9, 2011, the Company and Tulco Resources received a 1A-31 Recovery Permit from the Florida Division of Historical Resources. The Recovery Permit was previously active through April 25, 2014. It is necessary for the Company to obtain a renewal to the Recovery Permit for the Juno Beach shipwreck site in order to continue to perform work at the site after April 25, 2014. Management is pursuing the renewal of the permit, however the renewal process is anticipated to be a very slow, complex and complicated process. The potential renewal and name change will eventually involve a State Judge, Federal Judge, the U.S. Marshall’s Service and the Florida Division of Historical Resources. Due to these multiple additional steps, the renewal of the permit has not been issued as of the filing of this report and Management is not able to predict the timing or success of any such renewal. The Company met with a Federal Judge in of October 2016, and is moving forward as instructed.

The Juno Beach Shipwreck site is a speculative project as far as the potential for the Company to ever locate valuable artifacts or treasure. Although the Company has recovered various artifacts that it believes are interesting, it has not located artifacts and/or treasure of any significant value from the Juno Beach Shipwreck site. There is also the possibility that there are no artifacts of significant value located at the Juno Beach shipwreck site. Even if there are valuable artifacts and/or treasure located at the site, recovering them may be extremely difficult or impossible due to a variety of challenges that include, but are not limited to; inclement weather, hazardous ocean conditions, large amounts of sand that cover large areas of the site, ongoing maintenance and repair issues with the Company’s main salvage vessel, permitting issues and/or a lack of financing, etc. Additionally, Management believes the previous partner, Tulco Resources, deleted a significant portion of the 2003 magnetometer survey which may contain portions of the wreck itself. The Company is planning the process to perform additional research and a cesium vapor magnetometer survey of the deleted area. This survey has not been completed as of the filings of this report.

Moreover, the Company does not currently have sufficient data to positively identify the potential Juno Beach shipwreck, or its country of origin, and it is therefore not possible to determine whether or not the ship was originally carrying cargo of any significant value. Only remnants and scattered pieces of a sunken ship have been located to date; no main shipwreck body has been located, although there is a large deleted area which has not been searched. It is also possible, although there is no proof suggesting this, that a ship began to break up on the site but the body of the ship actually sank in another area that is outside of the designated Juno Beach site area and all that was left on the Juno Beach site were scattered remnants of the original ship that have little or no archeological or actual value. There is a possibility that there are no artifacts of significant value located on the Juno Beach shipwreck site.

On July 28, 2014, Seafarer’s Quest, LLC received a 1A-31 Exploration Permit with a Dig and Identify modification (the “Permit”) from the Florida Division of Historical Resources for an area identified as area 2 off of Melbourne Beach, Florida. The Permit is active for three years from the date of issuance. In the past in addition to the Company’s main salvage vessel, the Company has utilized additional vessels in order to perform operations. On occasion, inclement weather and difficult sea conditions have hampered the Company’s ability to perform exploration operations at this site. An archeologist with the technical skills, knowledge, and experience from around the world was hired to help insure the integrity of the work. On July 6, 2016 Seafarer’s Quest, LLC received a 1A-31 Exploration Permit with a Dig and Identify modification (the “Second Melbourne Permit”) from the Florida Division of Historical Resources for an area identified as area 1 located off of Melbourne Beach, Florida. The Second Melbourne Permit is active for three years from the date of issuance.

The Company regularly reviews opportunities to perform exploration and recovery operations at purported historic shipwreck sites; however, the Company does not have specific plans to perform exploration and recovery operations at other shipwreck sites at the present time. The Company is actively reviewing other potential historic shipwreck sites, including sites located internationally, for possible exploration and recovery. Should the Company decide that it will pursue exploration and recovery activities at other potential shipwreck sites, it may be necessary to obtain various permits.

If the Company is not able to perform any exploration or recovery operations, then it may have to suspend or cease its operations. If the Company ceases its previously stated efforts, there are currently no plans to pursue other business opportunities.

Limited Operating History

The Company has not currently generated any revenue from operations and does not expect to report any significant revenue from operations for the foreseeable future.

At September 30, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $969,286. The Company is in immediate need of further working capital and is seeking options, with respect to financing, in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof.

Since inception, the Company has funded its operations through common stock issuances and loans in order to meet its strategic objectives; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain further funds to continue with its efforts to establish a new business. There is a very significant risk that the Company will be unable to obtain financing to fund its operation and as such the Company may be forced to cease operations at any time which would likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been invested in and/or borrowed by the Company to date.

The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and to generate negative cash flow from operating activities, while building out its infrastructure in order to explore and salvage historic shipwreck sites and establishing itself in the marketplace. Based on our historical rate of expenditures, the Company expects to expend its available cash in less than one month from November 14, 2016.

The Company’s ability to eliminate operating losses and to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which it is unable to control. If the Company is unable to implement its business plan successfully, it may not be able to eliminate operating losses, generate positive cash flow or achieve or sustain profitability, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results, as well as its ability to make payments on its debt obligations, and the Company may be forced to cease operations.

The Company’s lack of operating cash flow and reliance on the sale of its commons stock and loans to fund operations is extremely risky. If the Company is unable to continue to raise capital or obtain loans or other financing on terms that are acceptable to the Company, or at all, then it is highly likely that the Company will be forced to cease operations. If the Company ceases its operations, then it is likely that all capital invested in and/or borrowed by the Company will be lost.

Summary of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Results of Operations

The Company’s net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was $1,192,443 as compared to a net loss of $736,778 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015. The increase in net losses of approximately 62% in 2016 was primarily due to the impact of the fair value measurement adjustments on several convertible promissory notes that resulted in an interest expense of $618,092 in 2016 as compared to interest income of $72,559 in 2015. The swing from interest income in 2015 to an interest expense in 2016 was due to the fair value measurement of several convertible notes. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred consulting related expenses of $338,144 versus $479,834 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of 29.5%. The decrease in consulting and contractor expenses was largely due to a lull in operations during the first half of 2016 and significantly less stock based compensation being paid for services. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred professional fees of $78,191 as compared to $62,754 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of approximately 25%. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s general and administrative expenses were $42,101 as compared to $109,093 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, an decrease of approximately 61.4%. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred vessel related expenses of $18,901 versus $41,223 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of approximately 54%. The 54% decrease in vessel expenses was due to fewer overall significant maintenance issues with the Company’s primary salvage vessel in 2016 as compared to some prior years. The Company has tried to keep repair costs lower for its main salvage vessel by being more proactive with vessel maintenance, however due to the advancing age of the vessel the Company anticipates that it will continue to require repairs and in some cases major unforeseen repairs. The Company has also utilized a few newer and smaller vessels in its operations and these vessels do not require as much maintenance and upkeep which helps to keep costs down. Travel and entertainment expenses decreased approximately 10.1%, from $50,044 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 to $44,949 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in travel and entertainment expenses was generally due to the Company not having to pay for hotel lodging expenses on a regular basis for several of its independent contract divers and operations personnel as a result of renting an operations house where personnel are able to stay while performing services for the Company. Rent expense was $26,577 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 versus $40,901for the same period in 2015, a decrease of nearly 35%.

Summary of Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Results of Operations

The Company’s net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 was $685,265 as compared to a net loss of $326,116 during the three month period ended September 30, 2015. The 110% increase in the net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to 207% increase in interest expense and a 41.8% increase in losses from operations. Interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 was $414,633 versus $135,227 for the three month period ended September 30, 2015. The approximate 207% increase in interest expense was due to the fair value measurement adjustments on several convertible promissory notes. During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred consulting and independent contractor related expenses of $166,803 versus $125,787 during the three month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 32.6%. The 32.6% decrease in consulting and independent contractor related expenses was due to a ramping up of operations during the period and increased stock based compensations paid to several consultants and independent contractors for various services including business advisory, legal, operations, administrative, media consulting, digital storefront development, strategic planning, etc. The Company issued shares to several consultants as a retention bonus and inducement for the consultants to continue to provide services under terms that are favorable to the Company. During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred professional fees of $30,521 as compared to $12,375 during the three month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 146.6%. The increase in professional fees paid during 2016 was due stock based compensation paid to one of the Company’s legal advisors. During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred travel and entertainment expenses of $27,662 versus $13,711 during the three month period ended September 30, 2015, increase of approximately102%. During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s general and administrative expenses were $12,675 as compared to $3,290 during the three month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of 285%. During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company incurred vessel related expenses of $13,958 versus $14,431 during the three month period ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of approximately 3.2%. The decrease in vessel expenses was due to fewer overall maintenance issues with the Company’s primary salvage vessel, however as the vessel is an older ship it continues to require constant maintenance and upkeep that may be very expensive.

Lack of Revenues and Cash Flow/Significant Losses from Operations

It is extremely challenging to build a publicly traded historic shipwreck exploration and recovery company. The exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks requires a multi-year, multi stage process and it may be many years before any revenue is generated from exploration and recovery activities, if ever. The Company believes that it may be several years before it is able to generate any cash flow from its operations, if any are ever generated at all. Without revenues and cash flow the Company does not have any steady cash flow to pay its expenses. The Company relies on outside financing in the form of equity and debt and it is possible that the Company may not be able to obtain outside financing in the future. If the Company is not able to obtain financing it would more than likely be forced to cease operations and all of the capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company would likely be lost.

The Company has experienced a net loss in every fiscal year since the reverse merger in 2008. The Company’s losses from operations were $574,351 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and $809,337 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Company believes that it will continue to generate losses from its operation for the foreseeable future and the Company may not be able to generate a profit in the long-term, or ever.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2016, the Company had cash in the bank of $6,521. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 the Company incurred net losses of $1,192,443. At September 30, 2016, the Company had $52,042 in current assets and $1,021,328 in current liabilities, leaving the Company with a working capital deficit of $969,286.

Lack of Liquidity

A major financial challenge and significant risk facing the Company is a lack of liquidity. The company continued to operate with significant debt and a working capital deficit during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016. This working capital deficit indicates that the Company is unable to meet its short-term liabilities with its current assets. This working capital deficit is extremely risky for the Company as it may be forced to cease its operations due to its inability to meet all of its current obligations. If the Company is forced to cease its operations then it is highly likely that all capital invested in and/or borrowed by the Company will be lost.

The expenses associated with being a small publicly traded company attempting to develop the infrastructure to explore and recover historic shipwrecks are extremely prohibitive, especially given that the Company does not currently generate any revenues and does not expect to generate any revenues in the near future. There are ongoing expenses associated with operations that are incurred whether the Company is conducting shipwreck exploration and recovery operations or not. Vessel maintenance, particularly for an older vessel such as the Company’s main salvage vessel, upkeep expenses and docking fees are continuous and unavoidable regardless of the Company’s operational status. These repairs and maintenance are expensive and a drain on the Company’s cash.

In addition to the operations expenses, a publicly traded company also incurs the significant recurring corporate expenses related to maintaining publicly traded status, which include, but are not limited to accounting, legal, audit, executive, administrative, corporate communications, rent, etc. The recurring expenses associated with being a publicly traded company are very burdensome for smaller public companies such as Seafarer. This lack of liquidity creates a very risky situation for the Company in terms of its ability to continue operating, which in turn makes owning shares of the Company’s commons stock extremely risky and highly speculative. The Company’s lack of liquidity may cause the Company to be forced to cease operations at any time which would likely result in a complete loss of all capital invested in or borrowed by the Company to date.

Due to the fact that the Company does not generate any revenues and does not expect to generate revenues for the foreseeable future the Company must rely on outside equity and debt funding. The combination of the ongoing operational, even during times when there is little or no exploration or salvage activities taking place, and corporate expenses as well as the need for outside financing creates a very risky situation for the Company and its shareholders. This working capital shortfall and lack of access to cash to fund corporate activities is extremely risky and may force the Company to cease its operations which would more than likely result in a complete loss of all capital invested in or loaned to the Company to date.

Lack of Revenues and Cash Flow/Significant Losses from Operations

The exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks requires a multi-year, multi stage process and it may be many years before any revenue is generated from exploration and recovery activities, if ever. The Company believes that it may be several years before it is able to generate any cash flow from its operations, if any are ever generated at all. Without revenues and cash flow the Company does not have reliable cash flow to pay its expenses. The Company relies on outside financing in the form of equity and debt and it is possible that the Company may not be able to obtain outside financing in the future. If the Company is not able to obtain financing it would more than likely be forced to cease operations and all of the capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company would be lost.

Convertible Notes Payable and Notes Payable, in Default

At September 30, 2016, the Company had convertible notes payable and notes payable with a face value of $748,102 of which $670,952 were in default.

The Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to refinance its convertible notes payable and notes payable that are currently in default. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, such lenders may file suit, including suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral for the obligations arising under the secured notes. If any of the lenders file suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral, then the Company may be forced to significantly scale back or cease its operations which would more than likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company. The fact that the Company is in default regarding several loans held by various lenders makes investing in the Company or providing any loans to the Company extremely risky with a very high potential for a complete loss of capital.

The convertible notes that have been issued by the Company are convertible at the lender’s option. These convertible notes represent significant potential dilution to the Company’s current shareholders as the convertible price of these notes is generally lower than the current market price of the Company’s shares. As such when these notes are converted into equity there is typically a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and very high probability that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Company’s common stock. Furthermore, management intends to have discussions or has already had discussions with several of the promissory note holders who do not currently have convertible notes regarding converting their notes into equity. Any such amended agreements to convert promissory notes into equity would more than likely have a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and there is a very high probability that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Company’s common stock. Some of these note holders have already amended their non-convertible notes to be convertible and converted the notes into equity. Based on conversations with other note holders, the Company believes that additional note holders will amend their notes to contain a convertibility clause and eventually convert the notes into equity.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities (see Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the notes to the Company’s financial statements for the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.) On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates based upon different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates are reasonable.

Management is aware that certain changes in accounting estimates employed in generating financial statements can have the effect of making the Company look more or less profitable than it actually is. Management does not believe that either the Company or its auditors have made any such changes in accounting estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Responsibility for Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting. The Company’s controls over financial reporting are designed under the supervision of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer/principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2016. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely record, process, summarize and report financial information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and review process, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.

The management including its Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures, or its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

The Company has limited resources and as a result, a material weakness in financial reporting currently exists, because of our limited resources and personnel, including those described below.

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

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

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

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

A material weakness is a deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) auditing standard 5) or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that a material weakness exists due to a lack of segregation of duties, resulting from the Company's limited resources and personnel.

Remediation Efforts to Address Deficiencies in Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As a result of these findings, management, upon obtaining sufficient capital and operations, intends to take practical, cost-effective steps in implementing internal controls, including the possible remedial measures set forth below. As of September 30, 2016 we did not have sufficient capital and/or operations to implement any of the remedial measures described below.

Assessing the current duties of existing personnel and consultants, assigning additional duties to existing personnel and consultants, and, in a cost effective manner, potentially hiring additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company's financial statements to allow for proper segregation of duties, as well as additional resources for control documentation.

*	Assessing the duties of the existing officers of the Company and, in a cost effective manner, possibly promote or hire additional personnel to diversify duties and responsibilities of such executive officers.

Board to review and make recommendations to shareholders concerning the composition of the Board of Directors, with particular focus on issues of independence. The Board of Directors will consider nominating an audit committee and audit committee financial expert, which may or may not consist of independent members.

(b) Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company has not made any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2016.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued 58,732,000 restricted common shares of its common stock to various consultants for services including business advisory, legal, administrative, operations, diving and exploration, media and entertainment, website development and editing, consulting, as retention bonuses and bonuses to several independent contractors, other services. From time to time in the regular course of its business the Company issues shares of its restricted common stock to consultants and other vendors for a variety of services rendered including, but not limited to, legal, financial, accounting, administrative, archeological, executive, corporate communications, operations, diving, etc. The Company issued 13,100,000 shares to two shareholders in conjunction with repricing agreements. The anti-dilution protection extends through the date upon which all registration restrictions expires, typically one year from the date the shares were issued, and is based upon the trading market value at the end of that period. The Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its restricted common stock as financing fees to a lender in exchange for the lender extending the term of a loan. The Company believes that the issuance of the securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering and based on the fact that such securities were issued for services to sophisticated or accredited investors and persons who are thoroughly familiar with the Company’s proposed business by virtue of their affiliation with the Company.

On various dates during the three month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company entered into subscription agreements to sell 142,834,199 shares of its restricted common stock to nine investors and receive proceeds of $129,200. The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, working capital and the repayment of some debt.

Exemptions from Registration for Sales of Restricted Securities.

The issuance of securities referenced above were issued to persons who the Company believes were either “accredited investors,” or “sophisticated investors” who, by reason of education, business acumen, experience or other factors, were fully capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in us; and each had prior access to all material information about us. None of these transactions involved a public offering. An appropriate restrictive legend was placed on each certificate that has been issued, prohibiting public resale of the shares, except subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or in compliance with Rule 144. The Company believes that the offer and sale of these securities was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) thereof, and/or Regulation D. There may be additional exemptions available to the Company.
