ITEM 1—BUSINESS

Our Corporate History and Background

We were incorporated as Tecton Corporation, a Nevada corporation, 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 Tecton.  The effect of this dividend declaration and share cancellation was that Tecton was spun off as an independent company.  On January 2, 2014, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to “Endurance Exploration Group, Inc.”  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.

Prior to June 2008, we were engaged in the exploration and acquisition of uranium properties that were either past producers or had been the subject of prior work programs and/or contained historic resources. On or about June 1, 2008, we ceased/discontinued operations of our uranium exploration activities; and have incurred a net operating loss of approximately $4,900,000 since that period as we have sought to restructure and find a suitable business opportunity.  We were deemed a “shell company”, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, from the discontinuance of operations in 2008 until the filing of our Form 8-K on December 31, 2013, relating to the acquisition of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC, on that date.  During our restructuring period from June 2008 until December 31, 2013, we:

·

Elected a new slate of directors and appointed a new management team focused on finding a suitable business opportunity for us;

·

Attempted to reorganize our balance sheet through the US Bankruptcy courts by filing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, but later withdrew our petition at the request of the court;

·

Brought current our filings with the State of Nevada and our financial reporting and disclosure filings with the SEC;

·

Effected a reverse 1 for 40 reverse split of our common stock;

3

·

Amended and restated our Articles of Incorporation to increase the total authorized capital stock 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;

·

Paid approximately $292,000 of outstanding debt through the issuance of 12,733,499 newly issued common shares on December 31, 2013; and

·

Entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, on December 31, 2013, to acquire the ownership interests of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC, for 20,550,539 shares of common stock.

Our fiscal year end was changed from January 31 to December 31 in November 2013.  Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB electronic quotation system under the symbol “EXPL”.

Endurance Explorations Group, LLC

On December 31, 2013, we completed the purchase of 100% of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC (“Endurance LLC”), from its members in exchange for 20,550,539 shares of our common stock, valued at $0.0186 per share, based upon the net book value of the assets of Endurance LLC of $381,173 as of December 31, 2013.  Micah Eldred, who serves as our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Carl Dilley who serves as one of our directors and our Vice President, were the owners of all of the interests in Endurance LLC.  Messrs. Eldred and Dilley were also the beneficial owners of a majority of our common stock at the time.  Endurance LLC is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, and its operations are now our primary focus.

Endurance LLC was formed in 2009 to explore, from an operational and financial perspective, the feasibility and potential economic return of recovering historic and modern day shipwreck cargos.  Based on the business started by Endurance LLC, we have developing a research methodology with three goals. The first goal is to establish a comprehensive understanding of the larger economic, technological and social trends that lead to the transport of physical wealth across oceans during different historical periods, along with creating a “High Interest” list of shipwrecks and their cargos lost across various historical periods.  Conflict, accidents and acts of nature claimed a percentage of all voyages, and many of the shipwrecked vessels are believed to have carried a valuable cargo.  The second objective is to identify, from this population of potential shipwreck losses, those shipwrecks that could be legally salvaged and recovered, and the cargos sold, with a positive return on the capital investment required for their location and recovery.  The third goal is to move those projects which had the potential to generate positive investment returns into an operational phase with a high, risk-adjusted, chance of success; and, to develop a portfolio of projects in various stages of research, search, survey and recovery.

To that end, we have evaluated historical shipwreck databases holding in excess of 125,000 entries as well as undertaken contextual and keyword library and archival searches. It is important to note that even these massive repositories of data reflect just a small percentage of the 3,000,000+ shipwrecks the United Nations estimates lay on the ocean floor.

From these databases and other searches, we have developed an initial “High Interest” list of approximately 400 shipwrecks. Using criteria including (but not limited to) depth, potential search area, legal concerns, difficulty of excavation and potential value, we further culled the “High Interest” list to approximately two-dozen targets, the “Target List”.  In order for a shipwreck to qualify for our “Target List”, and to potentially move forward as an “Operational Target” (“OT”) -one that we may consider for the search and survey operation phase- the shipwreck must possess the following criteria:

4

·

Known Cargo of Value.  Based upon the historical and archival records, an OT must contain a quantifiable cargo of value.  While the historical records may not provide our researchers with an exact present day value of a potential cargo, we must be able to determine a quantifiable “range” of its estimated value based upon cargo manifests or other archival documents.

·

Known Navigational Data.  Our research must provide information that would allow us to establish a geographically definable search and sinking location and, subsequently, an economically feasible search area for any potential target.  

·

Legal Salvage and Clear Path to Title.  Admiralty law, salvage law, and various sovereign nation’s laws and regulations concerning the search and salvage of historical and modern shipwrecks are complex.  Prior to pursuing an OT, we must be able to establish a clear legal path to the title of any potential recovery, and search and recovery must be made in compliance with international laws and regulations or under specific country permissions.

·

Potential Returns Exceed Risk-Adjusted Cost of Search and Recovery.   Prior to moving a shipwreck from our Target List to an Operational Target, we evaluate a large number of factors to determine the potential search and recovery costs, and the risks associated with such search and recovery.  Items considered include: a targets location and likely depth, its location from the nearest operational port, the complexity and costs of potential search and salvage, legal issues to title, and many other factors; and, we develop an initial search plan and budget for each potential project.  We recognize the high risk, yet potentially high rewards, of our business; and, we realize that we will not be successful finding or salvaging every project we undertake.  Therefore, prior to moving any project onto the “Operational Target” list, we take a risk-adjusted approach to the potential returns that a project can provide; and we determine if, on a risk-adjusted basis, the potential target is economically feasible and appropriate to add to our portfolio of “Operational Targets”.

Projects code-named “Sailfish” and “Black Marlin” have now reached operational or pre-operational status. For project “Sailfish” we have now surveyed over 700 square miles in the Western Atlantic Ocean in search of a sunken passenger liner carrying a substantial cargo of gold coinage. In October of 2014 we believe we positively identified the target of Project “Sailfish,” the Steamship S.S. Connaught. Please refer to Current & Ongoing Projects for additional information.

For project “Black Marlin” we have secured a three-year contract with a sovereign island nation in the Indian Ocean for the survey and recovery of a Colonial-era merchant vessel carrying silver. This contract also allows for other potentially valuable “targets of opportunity” within the territorial waters of this nation. Please refer to Current & Ongoing Projects for additional information.

We believe this survey and recovery capability combined with our proprietary research will allow us to conduct approximately two deep-water surveys per yearly weather window, should we have sufficient capital to undertake such operational surveys.

Description of Key Equipment  

In 2011, Endurance LLC began purchasing key equipment for operations. Our equipment purchases have included a 100-foot survey vessel, tethered side-scan sonar units, and light work-class and inspection Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV), “Shackleton 1” and “Squirt”.

5

Survey Ship

Our 100-foot survey ship has been recently refurbished to include a sonar winch and the latest in electronics and side-scan sonar survey equipment. Depending on the timeframe, circumstances and our other commitments, we may use this ship or charter another vessel of similar capability.  

Sidescan Sonar

Side-scan sonar is currently the industry-standard search methodology used for oceanic operations.  An unmanned side-scan sonar unit, or “towfish,” is towed behind a manned surface vessel at a pre-set altitude above the seafloor. The sonar unit sends out a “ping” or sound-wave to acoustically map terrain, natural obstructions and man-made objects, including shipwrecks and jettison cargo.

To engage in search operations, we have purchased side-scan sonar systems. Our dual-frequency systems may be set for a range of velocities, search widths and resolutions for both area mapping and high-resolution target prosecution up to 2,000 meters in depth. Our system is compatible with third-party hardware and software systems and meets IHO & NOAA survey specifications. Beyond shipwreck surveys, the system is also capable of cable and pipeline surveys, channel conditioning, geophysical surveys, mine countermeasures and search and recovery operations.

Our sonar systems are a flexible platform from both a hardware and software standpoint, and may continue to be upgraded with industry-standard, off-the-shelf sensor packages.

The sonar “towfish” of one of our current survey systems was lost during the final days of our 2013 search operations. For more information on project “Sailfish”, please refer to Current & Ongoing Projects. We expect to replace this sonar equipment and capability before beginning 2014 search operations.

Potential shipwreck targets found by sonar will be catalogued, evaluated and eventually visually prosecuted using the Shackleton 1 or Squirt ROV systems.

ROV Shackleton 1

The Remotely-Operated Vehicle (ROV) system Shackleton 1 is a light work-class ROV. This system is comprised of underwater lighting, still and motion picture cameras and a single robotic manipulator arm. Initially designed for mid-water industrial applications, the ROV has been redesigned for shipwreck search, identification and cargo recovery operations.  Beyond shipwreck operations, the system is also capable of cable and pipeline inspection and repair, geophysical sampling and search and recovery operations.  ROV system “Shackleton 1” is currently undergoing the final stages of a complete disassembly and overhaul, and we expect to have it ready for the 2014 summer season.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013, we had three employees, all of whom serve full-time.

Other Employees and Contractors

We utilize contract personnel for vessel operation during our survey periods, and intend to continue to use contract technicians to perform marine survey and recovery operations in the future. From time to time, we have or intend to hire other contractors, subcontractors and consultants to perform specific services.  During 2013, three individuals who joined our Board of Directors in January 2014 were employed in various capacities by us as independent contracts.  See “Item 6 – EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION - Compensation Paid to Messrs. Zajonc, Saint Amour and de Montille in 2013” and “– Employment Agreements” below.

Project Operations

Research

During the Colonial period (1500-1850), the world economy was highly dependent on the physical transportation of bullion coinage, precious metals and high-value non-ferrous metals. A small percentage of shipping during this period was lost to storm, fire, acts of war, natural disasters and other causes, both known and unknown. The administration of this economic system required state-level bureaucratic oversight and record-keeping. Many of these historic records are available in publications, libraries, archives and digitized formats in depositories across the world. Though many records have been lost to time, enough remain to create in-depth, credible project profiles for potential excavation targets.

To that end, we have created a series of regional and period-specific databases from which to compare, evaluate and select potential targets for research, discovery and eventual excavation and recovery.

The graphics below are a visual representation of selected world regions containing our “High Interest” database of shipwrecks and their approximate location and time of sinking.

8

Before search or recovery operations may begin, we seek to understand every factor necessary to mount a recovery operation with a high probability of success.

These factors include, but are not limited to:

·

The historical context of the shipwreck, including political forces, technological developments, important contextual persons and events and the public reaction to the loss.

·

Any images of the shipwreck, including still photography, motion pictures, drawing, paintings, recreations and/or models.

·

A complete sinking timeline, including as much information as possible on weather patterns, departure date/time, intended course, course corrections, witness/observer statements. This includes any statement, fact or event material in any way to the sinking.  

·

A proposed search area with a high-probability of success, including an evaluation of all factors listed in the “Sinking Timeline” as well as any territorial boundaries or environmental factors.

·

An Identification Guide, enabling rapid qualification or rejection of potential targets based on sonar and visual imagery, thus limiting expensive ship time on station.

·

Cargo evaluation, evaluating the historical records on the target’s cargo and potential modern-day value.

·

Any encumbering factors, including territorial ownership of waters, insurance claims, potential cargo claims and sovereign rights. We will not begin a project without a legal path to possession.

All of the above information is gleaned from publications, libraries, archives and digitized medium. Development of further projects is a continuous, ongoing process.

Search

Most operational projects begin with a sonar search phase. We have outfitted our vessel with state-of-the-art sonar systems, an industry standard for underwater search operations. Our vessel tows the sonar systems to map the seafloor and search for targets. Potential targets are then selected from the sonar imagery using a combination of computerized post-processing and expert evaluation. While some shipwreck targets may be positively identified using high-resolution sonar system, others may need visual identification using an underwater camera ROV (Remote Operated Vehicle) system or an AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle).

Recovery

Once a target is positively identified, excavation and recovery operations will begin using our “Shackleton 1” light-work class ROV system, or other chartered ROV systems.  Shackleton 1 will document the site using sonar, still and motion-picture imagery. It will then be used for any necessary excavation, as well as coinage, bullion and/or other recovery operations.

Post-Recovery Conservation

Coinage, precious metals and non-ferrous metals typically require a minimum amount of post-recovery conservation. In order to preserve the value of the recovered cargo, we will have an on-site facility capable of properly storing and transporting all recovered coinage, precious metals and non-ferrous metals to definitive and final conservation and storage prior to sale.  

Sales

We intend to recover coinage and bullion precious metals, including but not limited to gold and silver. We believe that bullion metals, numismatically-graded coinage and non-graded coinage have significant value in the collector market. We intend to sell the existing independent coin dealers as well as directly to the collector and consumer market through the internet.

Current & Ongoing Projects  

Project “Sailfish”- Research Summary

The “Sailfish” was a steam-powered packet ship, part of a fast and indispensable transatlantic communication link, the perfect vessel to rapidly ferry mails and passengers between Britain and the United States. Large for her time, she was a side-wheel steamer constructed almost entirely of iron.

On her last voyage, the “Sailfish” left Great Britain, bound for the United States. She carried several dozen first-class passengers, more than four hundred steerage passengers and a full crew of nearly 130. The “Sailfish” also disembarked with a cargo of gold coins, and the Captain assumed an uneventful voyage.

According to reports, when heavy seas set in, the “Sailfish” began to roll heavily. Though the initial problem was temporarily fixed, twelve hours later the same roll started again. Making matters worse, fire broke out. Buckets and pumps were manned, but the water rose rapidly and extinguished the furnaces, rendering the ship immobile. The fire quickly spread, driving the passengers above decks.

The purser and two men attempted to rescue the gold shipment, but were driven back by the smoke and flames. A nearby ship came to the rescue, bravely maneuvering close to the “Sailfish” and running a line between the two to facilitate transfer of passenger. Per age-old protocol, the Captain was the last man off the ship.

10

Virtually nothing was saved. Nearly every trunk and stitch of clothing was lost, including all the money of the first-class passengers. Early the next morning, a passing ship fell in with the “Sailfish”, shadowing the stricken vessel through her final hours. The burning “Sailfish” exploded and sank by the stern, leaving only an overturned lifeboat, light portions of the decking and a few trunks. The passing ship spent an hour recovering debris, dutifully recorded the sinking position, and then sailed on to New York.

We believe the “Sailfish” lies at a depth of between 200-500 meters of water.

Project “Sailfish” – Current Status

In October of 2014 we believe we positively identified the target of Project “Sailfish,” the Steamship S.S. Connaught.

We promptly filed a complaint in U.S. Federal Court for the Middle District of Florida requesting, pursuant to admiralty law, that the shipwreck be arrested, that we be appointed substitute custodian of the shipwreck and that we be awarded a salvage claim or title to the shipwreck and its cargo and, if such rights are granted, we intend to return to the site in the Spring or Summer of 2015 to conduct a recovery operation estimated to take 60 days.

Side-scan sonar survey operations on Project “Sailfish” began in July of 2013, and continued through the summer weather window until September 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.

Additional analysis conducted in early 2014 of the side scan sonar data we collected in 2013, revealed a shipwreck target with a number of characteristics that are consistent with what we believe we would see in a side scan sonar image of, our targeted shipwreck, “Sailfish”.  We returned to the inspection site during October 0f 2014 with a remotely operated underwater robotics vehicle to inspect the prime target, and in doing so, we positively identified the target, the Steamship S.S. Connaught, but its distinctive iron hull, paddlewheels and artifacts within the debris field.

Project “Black Marlin”- Research Summary

In the end of the 17th century, the world economy was fueled by the Spanish silver mines of the Americas, and the European demand for Asian drugs, spices, commodities and teas. This trade was based on the exchange of precious metals for goods, and silver was the only European payment acceptable to Asian trading partners.

The “Black Marlin” was one such vessel engaged in this trade. She was an English East Indiaman, more than 700 tons, three decks high and armed with many cannon. In addition to the silver coin expected by Asian merchants, she also carried lace, golden fabric, beaver fur, tobacco, wine, cloth and iron nails.

The shipping routes of the time took the English ship to the Indian Ocean for resupply in the middle of her long voyage to the East.  According to reports, unknown to her Captain and crew, nearby European enemy ships were hunting for English shipping. They discovered the “Black Marlin” was in the area and sailed to intercept. The European enemy ships approached the English ship under a false flag and prepared to attack.

The trap set and ready to attack, the Europeans demanded the surrender of the English vessel. Instead of surrendering, the English captain counterattacked, and the vessels began to exchange heavy cannon fire, beginning a pitched fight that would continue over many hours. In a last-ditch effort to escape, the English ship unfurled her sails and attempted to sail away. The Europeans quickly caught up and soon the English ship was disabled and unable to continue fighting.

Rather than surrender, the Captain of the English ship set his own vessel on fire, escaping in a small boat with a chosen group of men while allowing his own ship and abandoned sailors to burn. The fire reached the gunpowder storage, and the English ship exploded and sank, taking with her a rich cargo of silver.

11

We believe this shipwreck lies at a depth of between 500-3000 meters of water.

Project “Black Marlin” – Current Status

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 the costs to transport, store and insure any recovered items, will be split between us (75%) and the island government (25%). We expect to begin initial survey operations on project “Black Marlin” in mid to late-2014.  

As part of a larger economic development package included within our original proposal, we will also seek to develop media and museum products featuring both the treasure of the “Black Marlin” and the natural beauty of the island nation.

Project “Black Marlin” – Targets of Opportunity “Wahoo” and “Dolphin”

As part of discussions pertaining to project “Black Marlin,” we have learned of two shallow-water “targets of opportunity” within the same territorial waters as the “Black Marlin.” Believed to be English East Indiaman, these wrecks (code-named “Dolphin” and “Wahoo”) remain unidentified at this time. Until these wrecks are identified, it will not be possible to generate any estimate on the potential value, if any. We expect to begin operations on these wrecks in conjunction with the “Black Marlin” in mid-2014.

Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises and concession

Currently, we neither own nor rely on any patents, trademarks, licenses or franchises.  We have been granted a concession for shipwreck search and recovery in the territorial waters of an East African island nation by the government of that nation.  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 the costs to transport, store and insure any recovered items, will be split between us (75%) and the island government (25%).

Competition

There are a number of competing entities engaged in aquatic research, survey, inspection and the various aspects of the shipwreck salvage business.  One or more of these competing entities may locate and recover a shipwreck that we intend to locate and recover.  In addition, these competing entities may be better capitalized and may have greater resources to devote to their pursuit of shipwreck salvage.

Governmental and Environmental Regulation

We are subject to local, state and national taxation. Additionally, our operations are subject to a variety of national, federal, state, local and international laws. In particular, the legal, political, or civil initiatives of countries, international governing bodies and/or other maritime jurisdictions may restrict our operations and prevent or cause us to suspend or abort particular searches or salvage operations.

ITEM 1A.—RISK FACTORS

Risks Related To Our Overall Business Operations

We have a limited operating history with a history of losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.

We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. We have not generated any revenues since January 19, 2006 (inception) and do not anticipate that we will generate revenues which will be sufficient to sustain our operations in the near future.  Unless and until we are able to generate revenues we will continue to sustain losses.  

There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses from operations and insufficient cash resources to meet our business objectives, all of which means that we may not be able to continue operations.

The accompanying consolidated 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.  Our consolidated statements of operations for the eleven months ended December 31, 2013, and for the year ended January 31, 2013, reflect net losses of $59,113 and $9,368 respectively.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.  

In light of the acquisition of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC on December 31, 2013, we have presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements combined proforma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as though this acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2012.  These combined proforma financial statements show no revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and combined net losses for those periods of $885,874 and $319,628, respectively.  We are currently evaluating acquisitions and other business opportunities. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain clients and investment capital from future funding opportunities.  No assurance can be given that we will be successful in these efforts.

Changes in our business strategy or restructuring of our businesses may increase our costs or otherwise affect the profitability of our businesses.

As changes in our business environment occur we may need to adjust our business strategy to meet these changes or we may otherwise find it necessary to restructure our operations or assets. When these changes or events occur, we may incur costs to change our business strategy and may need to write down the value of assets. In any of these events our costs may increase, and we may have significant charges associated with the write-down of assets.

We will continue to experience losses from both pre-operational expenditures as well as planned operations.

We have experienced a net loss in every fiscal year since our inception. Even if we do generate operating income in the future, subsequent developments in our industry, customer base, business or cost structure, or an event such as litigation may cause us to experience operating losses. We may not become profitable in the future.

We are subject to macroeconomic and other factors beyond our control as well as the business, financial, operating and other risks of start-up companies, all of which may adversely affect our financial results and growth.

Macroeconomic and other factors beyond our control as well as the business, financial, operating and other risks of a shell company can adversely affect us. These factors include:

13

·

changes and volatility in general economic conditions, including the severity and duration of any downturn in the U.S. and financial markets;

·

war, civil unrest, terrorist activities or threats and heightened travel security measures instituted in response to these events;

·

outbreaks of pandemic or contagious diseases;

·

climate change and resource scarcity, such as water and energy scarcity;

·

natural or man-made disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, hurricanes, floods, oil spills and nuclear incidents;

·

low consumer confidence, high levels of unemployment and depressed housing prices;

·

domestic and international political and geo-political conditions;

·

changes in taxes and governmental regulations that influence or set wages, prices, interest rates or construction and maintenance procedures and costs;

·

the costs and administrative burdens associated with compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

·

changes in operating costs, including, but not limited to, energy, benefits, insurance and unanticipated costs resulting from force majeure events; and

·

the lack of availability, or increase in the cost, of capital for us.

We may seek to expand through acquisitions of and investments in other businesses or through business alliances.  These acquisitions and investment activities may be unsuccessful or divert our management’s attention.

We intend to consider strategic and complementary acquisitions of and investments in other businesses or other assets. Furthermore, we may pursue these opportunities in alliance with existing businesses. In many cases, we will be competing for these opportunities with third parties that may have substantially greater financial resources than we do. Acquisitions or investments in businesses, or assets, as well as these alliances, are subject to risks that could affect our business, including risks related to:

·

issuing shares of stock that could dilute the interests of our existing stockholders;

·

spending cash and incurring debt;

·

assuming contingent liabilities; and

·

creating additional expenses.

14

We cannot assure you that we will be able to identify opportunities or complete transactions on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that we will actually realize any anticipated benefits from such acquisitions, investments or alliances. Similarly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing for acquisitions or investments on attractive terms or at all, or that the ability to obtain financing will not be restricted by the terms of a revolving credit facility or other indebtedness we may incur.

The success of any such acquisitions or investments will also depend, in part, on our ability to integrate the acquisition or investment with our existing operations. We may experience difficulty with integrating acquired businesses, or other assets, including difficulties relating to: 

·

coordinating sales, distribution and marketing functions;

·

integrating technology information systems; and

·

preserving the important licensing, distribution, marketing, customer, labor and other relationships of the acquired assets.

In addition, any such acquisitions, investments, or alliances could demand significant attention from our management that would otherwise be available for our regular business operations, which could harm our business.

We may be unsuccessful in raising the necessary capital to fund operations and capital expenditures.

Our ability to generate cash flow is dependent upon our ability to find, excavate and monetize the cargo of shipwrecks. We cannot guarantee that the sales of the recovered cargo and/or related products and other available cash sources will generate sufficient cash flow to meet our overall cash requirements. If cash flow is not sufficient to meet our business requirements, we will be required to raise additional capital through other financing activities. Success in raising necessary funds is not guaranteed.

 

We depend on key personnel and face competition in hiring and retaining qualified personnel.

Key management and operational personnel may be difficult to replace. We do not have any employment or noncompetition agreements with our key personnel.  We may not be able to recruit or retain qualified employees in the future, which could affect our business.

Our background research and data-gathering may prove unreliable.

The success of any marine salvage project is highly dependent on background research and data.  Background research and data-gathering may prove to be imprecise, misleading, incomplete and/or unreliable. This data and research is further affected by the interpretation process due to factors such as analyst misinterpretations, erroneous calculations, and/or translation errors.

Operations may be hindered by natural hazards and weather patterns.

Marine salvage operations are inherently technologically challenging and may be delayed, suspended or aborted due to weather, sea conditions or other natural hazards. Operations may be dependent on both predictable and unpredictable seasonal weather cycles. We may not be able to logistically begin, continue or complete operations during favorable weather conditions. Both predictable and unpredictable weather events, including but not limited to storms, cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons and tsunamis, may delay, suspend or cause us to abort particular salvage operations.

15

Because of the speculative nature of our operations, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable cargo will be found and our business will fail.

We have only just begun operations, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be successful in our efforts to locate and monetize lost shipwrecks. You should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by similar companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The search for shipwrecks as a business is inherently risky. We may not find any commercially exploitable shipwrecks. In such a case, we may be unable to continue operations, and you could lose your entire investment.

We may discover a commercially exploitable shipwreck cargo but be unable to successfully recover the cargo.

If our search program is successful in discovering a commercially exploitable cargo, we may require additional funds in order to advance operations into commercial recovery. In such an event, we may be unable to obtain the funds, equipment and/or personnel in order to continue operations, and we may be unable to generate revenues.

We may be unable to establish or maintain rights to recovered objects.

Persons and entities other than us may claim title to the shipwrecks and/or valuable cargo that we may recover. Even if we are successful in locating and recovering shipwrecks and/or valuable cargo, we cannot assure we will be able to establish our rights to property recovered if challenged by governmental entities, prior owners, or other attempted salvors claiming an interest therein. In such an event we could spend a great deal of time and money on a shipwreck project, and receive no salvage claim or revenue for our work. Our shipwrecks may be in controlled water where the policies and laws of a certain government may change abruptly, thereby impacting our ability to operate in those zones.

We may experience delays in monetizing any recovered objects.

Even after a successful marine salvage operation, we may experience significant delays in monetizing any recovered objects. At this phase in operations, we have no sales personnel, distribution channels or sales contracts. Immediate access to buyers for recovered objects cannot be guaranteed, and delays in the monetization process may adversely affect our cash flows.

Legal, political, or civil issues may interfere with our marine salvage operations.

Legal, political, or civil initiatives of countries, international governing bodies and/or other maritime jurisdictions may prevent, restrict, suspend or abort our marine salvage operations.

Objects we recover could be taken from our possession.

Any marine salvage operation comes with a risk of theft or piracy prior to, during, or post marine salvage operations. Theft may not be adequately covered by insurance.

We may be unable to secure permission to conduct marine salvage operations.

It is possible that we will not be successful in obtaining title, permits or permission to excavate certain shipwrecks due to territorial, sovereign, or military concerns. Additionally, title, permits and permission may be denied, revoked, ruled illegal or not honored by the issuing entities.

16

We may not have access to the equipment and personnel needed for operations, which could cause delays or suspension of our operations

Competitive demands for contractors and unforeseen shortages of personnel and/or equipment may result in the disruption of planned operations. Fluctuations in demand for equipment and personnel could result in suitable equipment and personnel being unavailable at the scheduled times in our operations. Fuel prices are also subject to market fluctuation. We will attempt to locate suitable equipment personnel and fuel if sufficient funds are available. If we cannot find the equipment and personnel needed for our operations, we may have to suspend some or all operations until equipment, personnel, fuel, and/or funds can be obtained.

Technological obsolescence or critical failure of our marine salvage equipment could put a strain on our capital requirements and/or operational capabilities.

Our search and salvage operations will require the use of highly specialized and costly equipment, including but not limited to side-scan sonar, remotely-operated vehicles, winch systems, and computer processing equipment. This equipment may or may not be insured, insurable, repairable or replaceable, and may require difficult or time-consuming to source customized and/or specialized components. While we construct, upgrade, repair and maintain our equipment on a best-efforts basis, technological advances in new equipment may provide superior efficiencies and capability than our existing equipment. Such an industry shift may require us to purchase new equipment, requiring additional needs for capital.

Our business and operational results may be harmed if we fail to manage our growth or change.

Our business may experience periods of rapid change and/or growth that could place significant demands on our personnel and financial resources. To manage possible growth and change, we must continue to try to locate equipment, skilled personnel and funds in a timely manner.

The market for gold, silver and numismatically-graded coins are highly volatile and a decrease in the price of any would have a material adverse effect on our business.

The profitability of our operations are directly related to the market price of metals and the numismatic coin market. The market prices of metals and the numismatic coin market fluctuate significantly and are affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the rate of inflation, the exchange rate of the dollar to other currencies, interest rates, global economic and political conditions, and the collector’s market. Price fluctuations in the metals and numismatic market from the conception of a potential target to the conclusion of operations can significantly affect profitability. We may begin one or more operations at a time when the price of metals or numismatic coins make operations economically feasible and subsequently incur losses due to market decreases. Adverse fluctuations in the metals or numismatic market may force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

We face significant competition from better-established competitors

We compete with other interests possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than we do in connection with the discovery and excavation of shipwrecks.

17

Risks Related To Ownership of Our Common Stock

The market price of our common stock can be volatile, leading to the possibility of its value being depressed at a time when you may want to sell your holdings.

The market price of our shares is volatile. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. These factors include: our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors; changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock; speculation about our business in the press or the investment community; significant developments relating to our relationships with our customers or suppliers; stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publically traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry; customer demand for our products; investor perceptions of our industry in general and us in particular; the operating and stock performance of comparable companies; general economic conditions and trends; announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures; changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles; loss of external funding sources; sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant shareholders; and additions or departures of key personnel. Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. Should this type of litigation be instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.

Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock at a time when you want to sell your stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock and we are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. Should we decide in the future to do so, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries. In addition, our operating subsidiaries, from time to time, may be subject to restrictions on their ability to make distributions to us, including restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency and other regulatory restrictions.

We may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. As our common stock is a “penny stock,” it is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, the so called “Penny Stock Rule.” This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Penny Stock Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

18

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

Our common stock is illiquid and subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations.

If a liquid market for our common stock does develop, its market price could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting us or our competitors. In addition, the stock market itself is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

A large number of shares may be eligible for future sale and may depress our stock price.

We may be required, under terms of future financing arrangements, to offer a large number of common shares to the public, or to register for sale by future private investors a large number of shares sold in private sales to them.

Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or a perception that such sales could occur, and the existence of options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock at prices that may be below the then-current market price of our common stock, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities, either of which would decrease the value of any earlier investment in our common stock.

Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley own a significant majority of our voting shares and their interests may differ from those of our other shareholders.

As of September 26, 2014, Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley own approximately 56.8% and 30.5% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, respectively (see “Item 4 – Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”), and they will have significant influence over the outcome of matters that require shareholder approval, including election of directors and, accordingly, over our business and corporate matters.  They may exercise their voting rights in ways that they believe is in their best interests, which may conflict with the interest of our other shareholders.

Plan of Operation

We intend to continue survey operations in fall of 2014. Side-scan sonar survey operations on Project “Sailfish” began in July of 2013. Over the course of this initial survey, approximately 700 square miles were digitally mapped. This sonar imagery was then post-processed and evaluated for potential targets. In October of 2014 we believe we positively identified the target of Project “Sailfish,” the Steamship S.S. Connaught. Please refer to Current & Ongoing Projects for additional information.

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 the costs to transport, store and insure any recovered items, will be split between us (75%) and the island government (25%). We expect to begin initial survey operations on project “Black Marlin” in mid to late-2014.  

Results of Operations

21

Current Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley acquired control of us in January 2013, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities in private placements and debt financing.

As of June 30, 2014, we had $5,576 in cash.  

Net cash used by operating activities was $223,754 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.   

Net cash used by investing activities was $13,210 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $240,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  This amount represents funds advanced from related parties to facilitate operations for the period.

Other Recent Financings

On December 31, 2013, we entered into an Addendum to the Debt Conversion Agreement, dated May 6, 2013, with Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC, a company controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, in the amount of $289,390.  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 $0.022727 per share, which Endeavour did, as a result of which we issued 12,733,496 shares to Endeavour.  

On April 7, 2014, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC 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.  

On April 7, 2014, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Island Capital Management, LLC, a company owned and controlled by Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC, 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 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. We 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.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, Micah Eldred, Carl Dilley and Heather Dilley made advances to us in the aggregate amounts of $0 and $135,000, respectively, in order to provide us with funds to carry on our operations.  These advances do not bear interest, are unsecured and have no specific terms of repayment.  As of September 30, 2014, the aggregate amount of such advances outstanding was $185,000.  

22

Future Capital Requirements

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

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

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

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

Research and Development

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred $10,600 in expenses for research consultants.  For the six months ended July 31, 2013, we did not have any research and development expenses.  

Inflation

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2014, we had no off balance sheet transactions that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  

23

Fiscal Years 2013 and 2012

The following information represents our results of operations for the eleven months ended December 31, 2013 and for the year ended January 31, 2013, exclusive of the historical operations of Endurance Exploration Group LLC, which we acquired on December 31, 2013.  Proforma combined results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 as though the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2012, are included in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in this report for comparative purposes.

Revenue

Since our inception on January 19, 2006 to December 31, 2013, we have not generated any revenues.  With the acquisition of Endurance Exploration Group LLC, we hope to begin generating revenue in 2014 from aquatic research, survey, inspection and recovery projects, as well as maritime contract services and consulting.

Expenses

We incurred $19,925 in stock based compensation for the eleven months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $0 for the year ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $19,925.  The stock based compensation is a result of the options issued at December 31, 2013.

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $37,813 for the eleven months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $6,663 for the year ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $31,150.  The general and administrative costs consist primarily of legal and professional fees.  

Critical Accounting Estimates – Stock Based Compensation

We apply the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” to account for our stock-based compensation.  Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award.  We measure the fair value of each stock option grant at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2013 was $.003985. We used the following Black-Scholes assumptions in arriving at the fair value of options granted on December 31, 2013:

Expected Life In Years	1.5
Risk-free Interest Rates	.350%
Volatility	145.04%
Dividend Yield	0%

Net Losses

For the eleven month period ended December 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $59,113 as compared to $9,368 for the year ended January 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2013, we had $2,540 in cash.  

Net cash used by operating activities was $26,608 for the eleven months ended December 31, 2013.   

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1,940 for the eleven months ended December 31, 2013, and is represented by the cash balance acquired with the purchase of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC on December 31, 2013.

24

Net cash provided by financing activities was $27,208 for the eleven months ended December 31, 2013.  This amount represents funds advanced from related parties to facilitate operations for the period.

Research and Development

For the eleven months ended December 31, 2013 and the year ended January 31, 2013, we did not have any research and development expenses.

Inflation

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2013, we had no off balance sheet transactions.

ITEM 7—CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

During 2012 and 2013, Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC, a company controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, and Endeavour’s subsidiaries, Island Capital Management LLC and Proxy & Printing, LLC, made numerous advances to us in order to provide us with funds to carry on our operations.  None of such companies charged us interest on such advances.  In addition, during fiscal 2012 and 2013, Endeavour Cooperative Partners acquired the right to payment under certain accounts and promissory notes from a number of our creditors.  The aggregate amount due to Endeavour and its subsidiaries for these advances to us and under the accounts and notes purchased by Endeavour from our creditors was $166,650 at January 31, 2013.

On May 6, 2013, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Endeavour Cooperative Partners, which also was our largest shareholder at the time, relating to the conversion of our indebtedness to Endeavour, then in the amount of $272,356.  The terms of the agreement allowed for Endeavour to convert this debt into shares of our preferred stock at $.000172 per share (pre-reverse split), which value was determined by the Board of Directors to be fair and reasonable at the time.  We did not have sufficient common shares available for issuance in exchange for the debt on these terms, so it was agreed that we would issue shares of preferred stock, and such preferred shares would be exchanged on a one-for-one basis in the future for shares of common stock.  Although the market price of the common stock was hovering around $0.0002 per share at the time, the Board determined that the market price was not reflective of the true value of the stock.  Indications of this included the following facts:

·

there was very minimal trading activity in our stock,

·

as of April 30, 2013, we had no assets and negative shareholders’ equity of $352,786, and

·

between December 15, 2012 and May 3, 2013, Endeavour Cooperative Partners had purchased approximately 29,900,000 shares of our common stock from other shareholders at a price of $0.0001 per share.  

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, and were converted into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis on December 31, 2013.  

32

On December 31, 2013, we entered into an Addendum to the Debt Conversion Agreement, dated May 6, 2013, with Endeavour relating to the conversion of our indebtedness to Endeavour, then in the amount of $289,390.  The terms of the agreement allowed for Endeavour to convert this debt into common stock at $0.022727 per share, which the Board believed to be based on the value of the stock prior to the closing of the acquisition of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC later that day, based on recent trading activity.  Endeavour converted all of such debt into shares on such date, as a result of which we issued 12,733,499 shares of common stock to Endeavour.  

On December 31, 2013, we completed the purchase of 100% of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC (“Endurance LLC”), from its members, Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, in exchange for 20,550,539 shares of our common stock, valued at $0.0186 per share, based upon the net book value of the assets of Endurance LLC, $381,173 as of December 31, 2013.

On December 31, 2013, as a consequence of acquiring the membership interests of Endurance LLC, we assumed a liability of Endurance LLC to Micah Eldred under a demand promissory note, dated June 19, 2012, in the original principal amount of $60,000, bearing interest at 5%.  The note has no stipulated maturity date, and the balance due under the note at January 31, 2013 and December 31, 2013, including accrued interest, was $61,875 and $64,625, respectively.

We have entered into a contract with Island Capital Management LLC, which is owned and controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, to serve as our transfer agent.  It did not charge us for its services during 2012 or 2013.

We have entered into a contract with Proxy & Printing LLC, which is owned and controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, to provide us with printing and other services relating to our filings with the SEC.  It did not charge us for its services during 2012 or 2013.

On June 23, 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, and his wife, 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 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. We 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, we 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 sole manager of OMVC.  

Other than as described above, we have not entered into any transactions with our officers, Directors, persons nominated for these positions, beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, or family members of these persons since January 1, 2012, wherein the amount involved in the transaction or a series of similar transactions exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets for the last two fiscal years.  It is anticipated that we will continue to borrow from Endeavour Cooperative Partners and its subsidiaries in 2014 and 2015 to meet our cash needs.  It is anticipated that the terms of such borrowings will be more favorable than we could obtain from independent third parties, and that we may enter into additional agreements with Endeavour to allow us to repay such indebtedness in shares of common stock.  

33

Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions

In order to ensure that material transactions and relationships involving a potential conflict of interest for any of our executive officers or directors are in our best interests, all such conflicts of interest are required to be reported to the Board of Directors, and the approval of the Board of Directors must be obtained in advance for us to enter into any such transaction or relationship.

Any member of the Board who has a conflict of interest with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the deliberations or vote respecting approval of the transaction, provided, however, that such director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum.

Director Independence

The Board has no independent Directors.

ITEM 8—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of December 31, 2013, there are no material, pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, if any) to which we are a party or of which any of our properties is the subject. Also, our management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority against us.

ITEM 9—MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Our common stock has been quoted on the OTCQB electronic quotation system under the symbol “TTNC”. As a result of changing our company name to Endurance Exploration Group, Inc., our common stock is now quoted on the OTCQB electronic quotation system under the symbol “EXPL”. These prices reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission, and may not necessarily reflect actual transactions. The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for the common stock as reported for each quarterly period from the last two years.  The prices have been adjusted for the 1 for 40 reverse stock split on May 31, 2013.

High and Low Bid Prices on Our Common Stock

Year	Quarter Ended	High	Low
2014	June 30	$1.10	$0.40
2014	March 31	$1.10	$0.11
2013	December 31	$0.495	$0.022
2013	September 30	$0.5799	$0.10

2012	September 30	$0.02	$0.008
2012	June 30	$0.04	$0.02

Prior to the effectiveness of this registration statement, we have been a voluntary filer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  As such, we have made available our annual reports which includes audited financial statements, and our quarterly reports which include unaudited financial statements.

 

As of September 26, 2014, we had approximately 370 shareholders of record.  The Board of Directors believes that the number of beneficial owners is greater than the number of record holders because a portion of our outstanding common stock is held in broker “street names” for the benefit of individual investors.

34

Dividends

We have not declared any cash dividends since inception and do not anticipate paying any dividends in the near future. The payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors. There are no restrictions that currently limit our ability to pay dividends on its common stock other than those generally imposed by applicable state law.

Warrants and Options

ITEM 10—RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

On May 6, 2013, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC, a company controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley which was our largest shareholder at the time, relating to the conversion of indebtedness to Endeavour in the amount of $272,356. This amount represents the debt payable to Endeavour as of that date.  The terms of the agreement allowed for Endeavour to convert this debt into preferred stock at $.000172 per share (pre-reverse split), which value was determined by the Board of Directors to be fair and reasonable at the time.  We did not have sufficient common shares available for issuance in exchange for the debt on these terms, so it was agreed that we would issue shares of preferred stock, and such preferred shares would be exchanged on a one-for-one basis in the future for shares of common stock.  Although the market price of the common stock was hovering around $0.0002 per share at the time, the Board determined that the market price was not reflective of the true value of the stock.  Indications of this included the following facts:

On April 7, 2014, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Island Capital Management, LLC, a company owned and controlled by Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC, 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.

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 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. We 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.

In September 2014, we sold 132,000 shares of common stock in a private placement for $0.25 per share.

All of the foregoing shares were issued in transactions exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Also, in April 2014, we issued 13,333 shares in satisfaction of those shares that have been issuable since 2008 as explained in Note G of the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. Such shares were exempt from registration under Regulation S as they were sold to an investor outside of the United States.

ITEM 11 – DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

The following description summarizes certain important terms of our capital stock. Because this description is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of the matters set forth in this section, you should refer to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws, forms of which are included as exhibits to this Registration Statement, and to the applicable provisions of Nevada law, the state in which we are incorporated.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of:

	•		100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share; and

	•		10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 par value per share.

As of September 26, 2014, there were zero shares of preferred stock and 36,436,260 shares of common stock outstanding.  Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our capital stock without shareholder approval.

Dividends

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of our preferred stock, holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as our Board of Directors may declare on the common stock out of funds legally available for that purpose.

Voting Rights

Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the shareholders at which a quorum is present is required for any action by the shareholders, including the election of directors, except as may otherwise be required by law. Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

37

Liquidation

Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of shares of our common stock would be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of our preferred stock.

Future Issuance of Stock

Preferred Stock

There are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding. Our Board of Directors may, without further action by our shareholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of shares of preferred stock in one or more series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the rights, preferences and limitations of each series.  Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of our common stock. Holders of shares of preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment is made to the holders of shares of our common stock. Under certain circumstances, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the removal of incumbent management. Our Board of Directors may, without shareholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights that could adversely affect the holders of shares of our common stock.

Common Stock

The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock are available for future issuance without shareholder approval. We may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and as incentive compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Transfer Agent

Our transfer agent is Island Capital Management, LLC, doing business as Island Stock Transfer, and can be reached at the following address:

 

Island Stock Transfer

15500 Roosevelt Blvd., Suite 301

Clearwater, FL  33760

Tel: (727) 289-0010

Our transfer agent is controlled by Micah Eldred, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.

ITEM 12 – INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes(“NRS”), provides that a director or officer will not be individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (i) the director’s or officer’s acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law.

38

Section 78.7502 of NRS permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful.

Section 78.751 of NRS permits a Nevada company to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the company. Section 78.751 of NRS further permits the company to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation or bylaws or otherwise.

Section 78.752 of NRS provides that a Nevada company may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the company has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

Our Bylaws provide that our officers and directors shall be indemnified by us to the fullest extent legally permissible under Nevada law.  Our Bylaws also require that the expenses of an officer or director incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by us as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the company.

Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers and persons controlling us, we have been advised that it is the Securities and Exchange Commission’s opinion that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Description of Business

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

  

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

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

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

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

Our corporate headquarters are located in Clearwater, Florida.

Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2014.  As the acquisition of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group LLC and its wholly owned Panamanian subsidiary formed to hold the registry of a research vessel, occurred as of the close of its business on December 31, 2013.  The results of operations for this acquired company are reported commencing with January 1, 2014.

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

44

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

Use of Estimates

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

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 15, 2014, to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in this report. Based upon this evaluation, management determined that all subsequent events that require recognition in the financial statements have been included.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Fixed Assets

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

Income Taxes

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

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

Net Earnings (Losses) Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Dilutive common stock equivalents may consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise of the Company's stock options (calculated using the treasury stock method).  As of June 30, 2014, there were 5,000,000 common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation. Common stock issuable is considered outstanding as of the original approval date for purposes of earnings per share computations.

45

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 June 30, 2014 the Company had no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

Stock Based Compensation

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to June 30, 2014 through the date these financial statements were issued.

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN MATTERS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the period January 19, 2006 (date of inception) to June 30, 2014, the Company incurred losses of $5,260,184. The Company has minimal liquid assets. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

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

NOTE C – ACQUISITION OF ENDURANCE EXPLORATION GROUP LLC MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

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

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

46

Cash						$                      1,940
Fixed assets - net						448,980
Other assets						3,805
	Total assets					$                  454,725
Accounts payable assumed						$                      8,927
Accrued expenses assumed						4,625
Shareholder loans assumed						60,000
Equity acquired						381,173
	Total liabilities and equity					$                  454,725

Pro forma results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as though this acquisition had taken place at January 1, 2013 are as follows:

					Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
					June 30, 2013		June 30, 2013
Revenue					$                         -		$                         -
Operating expenses
	Operations and research				206,458		301,166
	Marketing and promotion				22,331		25,036
	General administration				41,133		73,833
	Depreciation				21,468		42,156
					291,390		442,191
Net operating loss					(291,390)		(442,191)
	Interest expense				(1,875)		(4,830)
Net loss					$                (293,265)		$                (447,021)

The unaudited pro forma results disclosed in the table above are based on various assumptions and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the Company completed this acquisition on January 1, 2013.

NOTE D – FIXED ASSETS

Fixed assets consist of the following at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

				June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Vessels and equipment				$          610,379		$          599,545
Computers and peripherals				14,092		11,716
				624,471		611,261
Less: Accumulated depreciation				(209,344)		(162,281)
Fixed Assets - net				$          415,127		$          448,980

47

Depreciation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $23,869 and $47,063 respectively.  All fixed assets were acquired at December 31, 2013, therefore, there is no depreciation recorded for 2013.

NOTE E – ADVANCES FROM RELATED PARTIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During 2012 and 2013, Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC, a company controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, and Endeavour’s subsidiaries, Island Capital Management LLC and Proxy & Printing, LLC, made numerous advances to the Company in order to provide the Company with funds to carry on its operations.  None of such companies charged the Company interest on such advances.  In addition, during fiscal 2012 and 2013, Endeavour Cooperative Partners acquired the right to payment under certain accounts and promissory notes from a number of the Company’s creditors.  The aggregate amount due to Endeavour and its subsidiaries for these advances to the Company and under the accounts and notes purchased by Endeavour from the Company’s creditors was $166,650 at January 31, 2013.

On May 6, 2013, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Endeavour Cooperative Partners, which also was its largest shareholder at the time, relating to the conversion of its indebtedness to Endeavour, then in the amount of $272,356.  The terms of the agreement allowed for Endeavour to convert this debt into shares of the Company’s preferred stock at $.000172 per share (pre-reverse split), which value was determined by the Board of Directors to be fair and reasonable at the time.  The Company did not have sufficient common shares available for issuance in exchange for the debt on these terms, so it was agreed that the Company would issue shares of preferred stock, and such preferred shares would be exchanged on a one-for-one basis in the future for shares of common stock.  Although the market price of the common stock was hovering around $0.0002 per share at the time, the Board determined that the market price was not reflective of the true value of the stock.  Indications of this included the following facts:

·

there was very minimal trading activity in the Company’s stock,

·

as of April 30, 2013, the Company had no assets and negative shareholders’ equity of $352,786, and

·

between December 15, 2012 and May 3, 2013, Endeavour Cooperative Partners had purchased approximately 29,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from other shareholders at a price of $0.0001 per share.  

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, and were converted into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis on December 31, 2013.  

On December 31, 2013, the Company entered into an Addendum to the Debt Conversion Agreement, dated May 6, 2013, with Endeavour relating to the conversion of the Company’s indebtedness to Endeavour, then in the amount of $289,390.  The terms of the agreement allowed for Endeavour to convert this debt into common stock at $0.022727 per share, which the Board believed to be based on the value of the stock prior to the closing of the acquisition of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC later that day, based on recent trading activity.  Endeavour converted all of such debt into shares on such date, as a result of which the Company issued 12,733,499 shares of common stock to Endeavour.  

On December 31, 2013, the Company completed the purchase of 100% of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC (“Endurance LLC”), from its members, Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, in exchange for 20,550,539 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $0.0186 per share, based upon the net book value of the assets of Endurance LLC, $381,173 as of December 31, 2013.

On December 31, 2013, as a consequence of acquiring the membership interests of Endurance LLC, the Company assumed a liability of Endurance LLC to Micah Eldred under a demand promissory note, dated June 19, 2012, in the original principal amount of $60,000, bearing interest at 5%.  The note has no stipulated maturity date, and the balance due under the note at June 30, 2014, including accrued interest, was $65,375.

48

The Company has entered into a contract with Island Capital Management LLC, which is owned and controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, to serve as its transfer agent.  It did not charge the Company for its services during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or the three or six months ended July 31, 2013.

The Company has entered into a contract with Proxy & Printing LLC, which is owned and controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, to provide the Company with printing and other services relating to its filings with the SEC.  It did not charge the Company for its services during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or the three or six months ended July 31, 2013.

On April 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC 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 the Company issued 140,000 shares to Endeavour.  

On April 7, 2014, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Island Capital Management, LLC, a company owned and controlled by Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC, 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 the Company issued 280,000 shares to Island.  

On June 24, 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.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, Micah Eldred, Carl Dilley and Heather Dilley, made advances to the Company in the aggregate amounts of $0 and $135,000, respectively, 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 June 30, 2014, the aggregate amount of such advances outstanding was $135,000.  

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, a 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. (formerly Tecton Corporation)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the eleven months ended December 31, 2013 and the year ended January 31, 2013.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.  

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the eleven months ended December 31, 2013 and the year ended January 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has significant net losses and cash flow deficiencies.  Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note B.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
