[10-Q] Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc Quarterly Earnings Report
Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. (OMEX) reports operational and financing disclosures in its quarterly 10-Q including related-party arrangements, convertible note activity, and joint-venture developments.
The company outlines investments and equity arrangements with CapLat, Two Seas and FourWorld, including warrant positions and equity purchases and conversions. It disclosed Oceanica-ExO notes with 18% interest and conversion rights at $2.75 per unit, and an Equity Exchange that will obligate Odyssey to issue 1,841,137 shares subject to contractual restrictions pending regulatory or project approvals. Significant debt instruments (March 2023 and December 2023 Notes) accrued interest that was frequently capitalized to principal rather than paid in cash.
Tax attributes include approximately $203.8 million of federal NOL carryforwards and $32.1 million of foreign NOL carryforwards, with stated expiration schedules for portions of those NOLs. The filing also discloses a reported $37.1 million arbitral award against Mexico (plus interest) that is subject to set-aside proceedings.

Insights
TL;DR: Heavy use of PIK interest, convertible debt and related-party financings increase dilution and liquidity risk despite sizeable NOLs.
Odyssey's financing profile shows substantial reliance on convertible notes and warrants where interest has been capitalized to principal, indicating limited cash interest outflows but growing debt principal and potential dilution upon conversion. Major investors (Two Seas, CapLat, FourWorld) hold sizeable equity and warrant positions, which could affect capitalization and governance. The Oceanica exchange creates future equity issuance contingent on project approvals, which adds contingent dilution. The large federal NOLs are valuable tax attributes but do not address near-term liquidity and covenant dynamics tied to convertible securities.
TL;DR: Related-party arrangements and director involvement in equity exchanges raise governance oversight needs.
Disclosures note multiple related-party transactions including services to CIC and equity compensation exchanges involving current directors and named executive officers. The formation of a special committee to address CIC matters is documented, but the exchange of Oceanica Compensation Quotas for Odyssey common stock—some restricted for up to five years—creates potential conflicts given directors received shares. Transparency around valuation (incremental value of $2,029,575 recognized) and contractual restrictions is appropriate, yet investors should note concentration of major shareholders and cross-party compensation that can influence board independence assessments.

ODYSSEY MARINE EXPLORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Odyssey,” “us,” “we” or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Going Concern Consideration
We have experienced several years of net losses and may continue to do so. Our ability to generate net income or positive cash flows for the next twelve months is dependent upon financings, our success in developing and monetizing our interests in mineral exploration entities, and generating income from contracted services and exploration charters.
Our 2025 business plan requires us to generate new cash inflows to effectively allow us to perform our planned projects. We continually plan to generate new cash inflows through the monetization of our equity stakes in seabed mineral companies, financings, syndications or other partnership opportunities. If cash inflow ever becomes insufficient to meet our projected business plan requirements, we would be required to follow a contingency business plan based on curtailed expenses and fewer cash requirements.
Our consolidated non-restricted cash balance at June 30, 2025 was $
The factors noted above raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding our condensed consolidated financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity and have prepared them in accordance with our customary accounting practices.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, both domestic and international. Equity investments in which we exercise significant influence but do not control and of which we are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for using the equity method. All significant intercompany and intracompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The portion of the consolidated subsidiaries not owned by the Company and any related activity is eliminated through non-controlling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and net income or loss attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interest are presented within equity and net income or loss and are shown separately from the Company’s equity and net income attributable to the Company. Some of the existing intercompany balances, which are eliminated upon consolidation, include features allowing the liabilities of Exploraciones Oceánicas S. de R.L. de CV (“ExO”) and Oceanica Resources, S. de R.L. (“Oceanica”), majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company, to be converted into additional equity of a subsidiary, which, if exercised, could increase the Company’s direct or indirect interest in the non-wholly owned subsidiaries. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company converted these intercompany balances into equity interests of Oceánica Resources México, S. de R.L. de C.V., a Mexican company (“ORM”). Refer to Note 7 – Joint Venture for additional information.
8
Use of Estimates
Management used estimates and assumptions in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenue and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
Bismarck Exploration License
The Company follows the guidance pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, in accounting for the exploration license held by Bismarck Mining Corporation, Ltd., (the “Bismarck Exploration License”). Management determined the rights to use the license to have an indefinite life. This assessment is based on the historical success of renewing the license every two years since 2006, and the fact that management believes there are no legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that would limit the useful life of the asset. The Company was notified in November 2023 that the 2022 exploration license renewal application was approved. The most recent renewal application was submitted in July 2024, and we expect to receive a response by September 30, 2025. Until renewal is received, the exploration license will continue in force over the area covered by the application until the determination of the application pursuant to applicable law. The Bismarck Exploration License is not dependent on another asset or group of assets that could potentially limit the useful life of the exploration license. We test the Bismarck Exploration License for impairment annually, and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, per the guidance in ASC 350. We did
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
As discussed in Note 6 – Investment in Unconsolidated Entities, the Company has cost basis method investments and equity method investments with related parties. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company was the primary beneficiary. We also review these investments for any potential impairment annually, or earlier if a triggering event is observed.
Refer to Note 7 – Joint Venture, for details on the Company’s joint venture with Capital Latinoamericano, S.A. de C.V. (“CapLat”) and certain affiliates of the Company.
Long-Lived Assets

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS has been computed pursuant to ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if dilutive securities and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in our earnings. We use the treasury stock method to compute potential common shares from stock options, restricted stock units and warrants and use the if-converted method to compute potential common shares from preferred stock, convertible notes or other convertible securities.
Dilutive common stock equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money stock equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method, excluding any common stock equivalents if their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance on income tax disclosures (ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”). Among other requirements, this update adds specific disclosure requirements for income taxes, including: (1) disclosing specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) providing additional information for reconciling items that meet quantitative thresholds. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The guidance in ASU 2025-05 provides all entities with a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material effect, if any, on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 7 – JOINT VENTURE
Joint Venture Agreement with Capital Latinoamericano, S.A. de C.V.
Background and Entity Formation
On December 23, 2024, the Company, certain of its affiliates and CapLat entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) pursuant to which Odyssey and CapLat agreed to work together to develop a strategic fertilizer production project in Mexico (the “Phosagmex Project”) building on the work completed by the Company to validate a high-quality subsea phosphate resource within Mexico’s Exclusive Economic Zone (the “Mexican EEZ”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the Company and CapLat agreed to work together to develop the Project and, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including certain regulatory approvals from Mexican governmental authorities, to invest through subsidiaries of each party as equal partners, subject to adjustment based on final contributions, in a newly formed joint venture entity that will own and continue to develop and operate the Phosagmex Project. CapLat is a key local partner in Mexico to develop the project due to its local knowledge of the Mexican business and political environment and its expertise in the food and agricultural industries. Odyssey has expertise critical to the fertilizer production project with respect to dredging in the Mexican EEZ to extract phosphate ore needed for fertilizer production from the seafloor within the area located in the Gulf of Ulloa of the Baja California Sur Peninsula in the federal waters of Mexico.
On June 4, 2025, CapLat and ORM formed Phosagmex as the joint venture entity in accordance with the terms of the JV Agreement, with CapLat and ORM each holding
In connection with the formation of Phosagmex, the Company, CapLat, Oceanica, ORM and ExO entered into an amendment to the JV Agreement on June 5, 2025, pursuant to which, among other things, ORM joined as a party to the JV Agreement and the parties agreed to make their respective initial capital contributions to Phosagmex on or prior to September 5, 2025. As the initial contributions were not due and had not been completed before June 30, 2025 in accordance with the JV Agreement, the JV’s operations have not begun, and there are no assets, liabilities, nor other income or expense activities, condensed financial information of the JV has not been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
On June 6, 2025, in accordance with the JV Agreement, Oceanica caused ExO to enter into an agreement to assign its legal rights to specified mining concessions held by ExO to Phosagmex subject to the condition that the concessions are reinstated.

CapLat’s Contribution
CapLat’s contributions to the JV will include its participation in the project and cash in the amount of $
Odyssey’s Contribution
Odyssey’s contributions to the JV will include the legal rights to the ExO mining concessions and cash in the amount of $
Accounting Treatment
The Company analyzed the investment in Phosagmex under the relevant accounting literature and concluded Phosagmex is an operating joint venture under ASC 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures and that each of CapLat and ORM has a variable interest in the joint venture. The Company then analyzed whether Phosagmex qualifies as a VIE under ASC 810, Consolidation and determined that (a) the Company does have sufficient equity at risk; (b) the Company and CapLat, as a group, have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the legal entity’s economic performance; and (c) operations of the joint venture are not conducted solely on behalf of either of the parties and as such, there is no party with disproportionate voting rights. Because none of the criteria in ASC 810-10-15-14 is met, Phosagmex is not a VIE and should be evaluated under the voting interest model (“VOE”).
Under the VOE model, the party with a controlling financial interest consolidates the company. Each of CapLat and the Company (through ORM) holds
The Company concluded that Odyssey will account for its investment in the JV on a go-forward basis by adjusting its investment for its share of the Phosagmex’s financial activity, basis differences, eliminating intra-entity profits or losses until realized through transactions with third parties, and evaluating for impairment.
NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we generated federal net operating losses (“NOL”) of $
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company may be subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We are not a party to any litigation as a defendant where a loss contingency is required to be reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

ExO owes consultants success fees of up to $

Lease commitments
One of the Company’s lease agreements expired during 2024 and was extended for a one-year period ending July 31, 2025. On July 16, 2025, the Company entered into an extension for a one-year period ending July 31, 2026. As a result, using the short-term exception under ASC 842, Leases, the Company did not record a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease obligation as of June 30, 2025.
The Company recognized $
Joint Venture Agreement
On December 23, 2024, the Company and CapLat entered into the JV Agreement (refer to Note 7 – Joint Venture for more information). The JV Agreement provides that the Company and CapLat have exclusive rights to develop the JV Project, and that CapLat has the exclusive right to develop, with the Company, any projects in the Mexican EEZ owned or developed by the Company during the subsequent five years. Each of the parties has the right to terminate the JV Agreement if the investment into the joint venture entity does not occur on or prior to December 31, 2026, or if there is a change of control of either party. In the event of a termination based on a change of control, the non-terminating party would be entitled to a termination fee of $

The Litigation financing valuation was based on the following assumptions: amounts funded by the Funder, the corresponding IRR calculation, applicable percentage applicable to the recovery percentage calculation and management’s good-faith estimates for estimated outcome probabilities and estimated debt repayment dates.
The 2022 Warrants, the December 2023 Warrants and the March 2023 Warrants are measured using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The assumptions used in this model included the use of key inputs, including expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option and the expected dividend yield. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of our Common Stock over the term of the warrant. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The expected life is estimated based on contractual terms as well as expected exercise dates. The dividend yield is based on the historical dividends issued by us. If the volatility rate or risk-free interest rate were to change, the value of the warrants would be impacted.
The embedded derivatives for the conversion options on the March 2023 Notes and December 2023 Notes are measured at fair value, Level 3, using the with-and-without valuation method. The assumptions used in this model included key inputs, including expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, the expected dividend yield, and the appropriate discount rate. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of our Common Stock over the term of the notes. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The expected life is estimated based on contractual terms. The dividend yield is based on the historical dividends issued by the Company. The discount rate is derived based on a risk-adjusted market rate for CCC-rated corporate bond yields. If the volatility rate or risk-free interest rate were to change, the value of the notes would be impacted.
The following table summarizes the fair values and related carrying values of financial instruments at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 that are not required to be remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis.

NOTE 12 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Litigation financing
On June 14, 2019, Odyssey and ExO (together, the “Claimholder”), and Poplar Falls LLC (the “Funder”) entered into an International Claims Enforcement Agreement (the “Agreement”), as amended in January 2020, December 2020, June 2021 and March 2023, pursuant to which the Funder agreed to provide financial assistance to the Claimholder to facilitate the prosecution and recovery of the claim by the Claimholder against the United Mexican States under Chapter Eleven of the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) for violations of the Claimholder’s rights under NAFTA related to the development of an undersea phosphate deposit off the coast of Baja Sur, Mexico (the “Project”), on our own behalf and on behalf of ExO and United Mexican States (the “Subject Claim”). Pursuant to the Agreement, as amended, the Funder agreed to specified fees and expenses regarding the Subject Claim (the “Claims Payments”) incrementally and at the Funder’s sole discretion.
The Company determined that the financing arrangement was a derivative, measured at fair value within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Subsequently, any changes in the fair value of the derivative are reported in earnings for the period. Fair value was calculated as the midpoint of estimated ranges of the probability-weighted present value of potential results based on management assumptions. As such, the fair value of the obligation is recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet in Litigation financing and as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 amounted to $
On September 17, 2024, the Company received notification from the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) of the arbitral award (the “Arbitral Award”) on the claims brought by the Company on behalf of itself and ExO, against the United Mexican States under NAFTA. The arbitral tribunal issued an award in favor of the Company and ExO. The award orders Mexico to pay $
Conversion Option - March 2023 Notes and December 2023 Notes
As discussed in Note 10 – Loans Payable, in December 2024, the Company amended the March 2023 Notes and the December 2023 Notes to add, among other things, a conversion option. Refer to Note 10 – Loans Payable for discussion on the significant terms of the conversion. The Company assessed the March 2023 Notes and December 2023 Notes, as amended, under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined the conversion feature is an embedded derivative that is recorded at fair value and remeasured at fair value at each reporting period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide a narrative of our financial results and an evaluation of our results of operation and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the related notes to the financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 regarding the Company’s expectations concerning its future operations, earnings and prospects. On the date the forward-looking statements are made, the statements represent the Company’s expectations, but the expectations concerning its future operations, earnings and prospects may change. The Company’s expectations involve risks and uncertainties and are based on many assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable, but such assumptions may ultimately prove to be inaccurate or incomplete, in whole or in part. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that the Company’s expectations and the forward-looking statements will be correct. Please refer to the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from the expectations stated in this discussion. Odyssey disclaims any obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements except as required by law.
Operational Update
Additional information regarding our announced projects can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Only projects that are material in nature or with material status updates are discussed below. We may have other projects in various stages of planning or execution that may not be disclosed for security or legal reasons until considered appropriate by management or required by law.
Our subsea project portfolio contains multiple projects in various stages of development throughout the world and across different mineral resources. We regularly evaluate prospective resources to identify new projects. In addition to conducting geological assessments, we also analyze licensing regulations to assure rights can be secured, business development models, and commercial viability factors; all which factor into our decision making on whether and how to pursue opportunities in the best interest of our stockholders.
Subsea Mineral Exploration Projects
Phosagmex Project
On December 23, 2024, the Company, certain of its affiliates and CapLat entered into the JV Agreement, pursuant to which Odyssey and CapLat agreed to work together to develop a strategic fertilizer production project in Mexico (the “Phosagmex Project”) building on the work completed by the Company to validate and quantify a high-quality subsea phosphate resource within Mexico’s Exclusive Economic Zone (the “Mexican EEZ”). Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the Company and CapLat agreed to work together to develop the Phosagmex Project and, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including certain regulatory approvals from Mexican governmental authorities, to invest through subsidiaries of each party as equal partners, subject to adjustment based on final contributions in a newly formed joint venture entity that will own and continue to develop and operate the Phosagmex Project. CapLat is key as a local partner in Mexico to develop the project due to its local knowledge of the Mexican business and political environment and its expertise in the food and agricultural industries. Odyssey is a key partner that has expertise critical to the phosphate and fertilizer production project with respect to exploration and dredging operations in the Mexican EEZ to extract phosphate ore needed for fertilizer production from the seafloor within the area located in the Gulf of Ulloa of the Baja California Sur Peninsula in the Mexican EEZ, as well as processing phosphate ore into commercially viable products serving the fertilizer industry in Mexican and global markets.
Pursuant to the JV Agreement, on June 4, 2025, the parties formed Phosagmex as a joint venture entity. On June 6, 2025, in accordance with the JV Agreement, the Company’s subsidiary, Exploraciones Oceánicas S. de R.L. de CV (“ExO”) entered into an agreement to transfer its legal rights to mining concessions that include the phosphate ore for the Phosagmex Project to Phosagmex subject to reinstatement of the concessions.
The Phosagmex Project includes a rich deposit of phosphate sands located 70-90 meters deep within the Mexican EEZ. This deposit contains a large amount of high-grade phosphate ore that can be extracted on a a commercially viable basis (essentially a standard dredging operation). The product will be attractive to Mexican and other world producers of fertilizers because it can provide important benefits to Mexico’s agricultural development.
The deposit lies within exclusive mining concessions licensed to ExO. In 2012, ExO was granted the first of three 50-year mining licenses by Mexico (extendable for another 50 years at ExO’s option) for the deposit that lies 25-40 km offshore in Baja California Sur.
28
We spent more than three years preparing an environmentally sustainable development plan with the assistance of experts in marine dredging and leading environmental scientists from around the world. Key features of the environmental plan included:
ExO Permit Application and Concessions
In 2015, ExO applied for a permit to move forward with the project. Notwithstanding the factors stated above, in April 2016 the Mexican Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (“SEMARNAT”) unlawfully rejected the permit application.
ExO challenged the decision in Mexican federal court and in March 2018, the Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa (“TFJA”), an 11-judge panel, ruled unanimously that SEMARNAT denied the application in violation of Mexican law and ordered the agency to re-take its decision. Just prior to the change in the Mexican administration later in 2018, SEMARNAT denied the permit a second time in defiance of the court. ExO challenged the decision again before the TFJA. On October 25, 2024, the TFJA announced its ruling in favor of SEMARNAT. ExO has appealed the TFJA’s ruling, and the appeal is pending.
In October 2024, the Company discovered that the Mexican mining authority unlawfully cancelled ExO’s mining concessions in June and August 2024. ExO is challenging the cancellation; the transfer of the legal rights to the mining concessions is subject to reinstatement of the concessions by the Mexican mining authority. The legal proceedings for reinstatement remain pending as of the date of this report.
ExO NAFTA Arbitration
In addition, in April 2019, we filed a claim under the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) arbitration claim against Mexico on behalf of Odyssey and ExO to protect our stockholders’ interests and significant investment in the project. Our claim sought compensation on the basis that SEMARNAT’s wrongful repeated denial of authorization has destroyed the value of our investment in violation of NAFTA.
On June 14, 2019, Odyssey and ExO executed an agreement that provided up to $6.5 million in funding for prior, current and future costs of the NAFTA action. On January 31, 2020, this agreement was amended and restated, as a result of which the availability increased to $10.0 million. In December 2020, Odyssey announced it secured an additional $10.0 million from the funder to aid in our NAFTA case. On June 14, 2021, the funder agreed to fund up to an additional $5.0 million for arbitration costs. The funder will not have any right of recourse against us unless the environmental permit is awarded or if proceeds are received (See Note 12 – Derivative Financial Instruments).
On September 17, 2024, the Company received notification from the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) of the arbitral award (the “Arbitral Award”) on the claims brought by the Company on behalf of itself and ExO, against the United Mexican States under NAFTA. The arbitral tribunal issued an award in favor of the Company and ExO. The award orders Mexico to pay $37.1 million for breaching its obligations under NAFTA, plus interest (the “Award Interest”) at the one-year Mexico Treasury bond rate, compounded annually, from October 12, 2018, until the award is paid in full, plus the
29
arbitrators’ fees and ICSID administrative costs. The amounts awarded are net of Mexican taxes, and Mexico may not tax the award. The case filings and the award are available on the ICSID website.
On December 12, 2024, Mexico commenced an application before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice seeking to set-aside the Arbitral Award. The set-aside application remains pending as of the date of this report.
CIC Project
CIC Limited (“CIC”) is a deep-sea mineral exploration company. CIC is supported by a consortium of companies providing expertise and financial contributions in support of the development of the project. Odyssey is a member of the consortium, which also includes Royal Boskalis Westminster.
In February 2022, the Cook Islands Seabed Minerals Authority (“SBMA”) awarded CIC a five-year exploration license beginning June 2022 within the Cook Islands’ exclusive economic zone. Offshore explorations and research commenced in the third quarter of 2022 with positive results in early sampling and testing of vessels and equipment, which informed requirements for viable operational functions as the basis for a longer-term operation over the license period. The early operations also resulted in preliminary resource sampling, which will ultimately accrue to the resource evaluation and regional environmental assessment.
Through a wholly owned subsidiary, we have earned and now hold approximately 14.2% of the current outstanding equity units of CIC issued in exchange for provision of services by the Company. We achieved our current equity position through the provision of services rendered to CIC (see Note 6 – Investment in Unconsolidated Entities).
Ocean Minerals, LLC Project
Ocean Minerals, LLC (“OML”) is a deepwater critical minerals exploration and development company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Moana Minerals Limited (“Moana Minerals”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of OML and is a deepwater critical metals exploration and development company incorporated in the Cook Islands with offices and operations based in Rarotonga, Cook Islands. In February 2022, the SBMA awarded Moana Minerals a five-year exploration license (“EL3”) for a 23,630 square kilometer area in the Cook Islands’ exclusive economic zone.
Moana Minerals has validated vast polymetallic nodule resources in its exploration license area and, pursuant to the SBMA’s standards and guidelines, it is conducting further exploration activities to increase confidence in the reported mineral resource and size of the reported mineral resources and to secure environmental approvals to perform commercial operations. OML and its project partners are also advancing work to develop recovery systems to harvest these high-quality seafloor polymetallic nodules and processing solutions to convert them into commercial grade metals.
On June 4, 2023, Odyssey entered into a purchase agreement to acquire an approximately 13% interest in OML in exchange for a contribution by Odyssey of its interest in its then wholly owned subsidiary, ORI, whose sole asset was a 6,000-meter remotely operated vehicle (“ROV”), cash contributions of up to $10.0 million in a series of transactions over the following year, a Contribution Agreement and an Equity Exchange Agreement. On July 3, 2023, the parties consummated the initial closing of the purchase agreement, pursuant to which Odyssey’s wholly owned subsidiary obtained approximately 6.28% of OML’s outstanding equity interests. On October 18, 2024, Odyssey and OML entered into a Termination Agreement pursuant to which the parties terminated the OML Purchase Agreement. The Termination Agreement terminated the parties’ rights and obligations relating to the Second OML Units, Third OML Units and Optional Units (see Note 6 – Investment in Unconsolidated Entities), but did not affect Odyssey’s ownership of the Initial OML Units or its obligation to pay the lease payments for the ROV (see Note 6 – Investment in Unconsolidated Entities). The Termination Agreement also did not affect the Equity Exchange Agreement or Contribution Agreement (each as defined above).
The 6,000-meter rated ROV contributed to OML by Odyssey provides OML with an additional tool to advance the project toward eventual applications for an environmental permit and harvesting license when exploration and feasibility studies are completed and demonstrate how harvesting can be done without serious environmental harm. OML has obtained a Joint Ore Reserve Committee (“JORC”) compliant report that substantially increases resources reporting to inferred and indicated confidence levels, and continues to advance toward completing its preliminary Feasibility Study, among other important project milestones it is working to achieve. The summary of OML’s resource assessment is available on its website: www.omlus.com. Information available on OML’s website, including its technical report summary, is not incorporated into this Quarterly Report.
Lihir Gold Project:
The exploration license for the Lihir Gold Project covers a subsea area that contains several prospective gold exploration targets in two different mineralization types: seamount-related epithermal and modern placer gold. Two subaqueous debris fields within the area are adjacent to the terrestrial Ladolam Gold Mine and are believed to have originated from the same volcanogenic source. The resource lies 500-2,000 meters deep in the Papua New Guinea Exclusive Economic Zone off the coast of Lihir Island, adjacent to the location of one of the world’s largest known terrestrial gold deposits. We have an 85.6% interest in Bismarck Mining Corporation, Ltd, the Papua New Guinea company that holds the exploration license (the “Bismarck Exploration License”) for the project.
30
Previous exploration expeditions in the license area, including research conducted by Odyssey, indicate it is highly prospective for commercially viable gold content.
In 2021 and again in 2023, Papua New Guinea issued permit extensions allowing Odyssey to continue with our exploration program. We have developed an exploration program for the Lihir Gold Project to validate and quantify the precious and base metal content of the prospective resource. The Company has met with local regulatory authorities, specialists in local mining, environmental legal experts, and logistics support service companies in Papua New Guinea to establish baseline business functions essential for a successful program to support upcoming marine exploration operations in the license area. This offshore work began in late 2021 and is ongoing. Bismarck and Odyssey value the environment and respect the interests and people of Papua New Guinea and Lihir and are committed to transparent sharing of all environmental data collected during the exploration program.
Offshore survey and mapping operations commenced in December 2021 in the Papua New Guinea, Lihir license area and was completed in 2022. This work produced a high-resolution acoustic terrain model of the seafloor in the area, as well as acquiring acoustic images of subseafloor sediments and lithology. This allowed characterization of the geologic setting of the area and essentially created a "snapshot" of the environment. These activities will help us to further characterize the value of this project and allow informed decision making on how to proceed with environmentally sensitive direct geologic sampling. In the first half of 2023, a comprehensive project plan was designed identifying specific target areas for geological and environmental samples to be collected in future offshore operations. No timetable has been set for operations to commence, as operational plans are currently being developed. On November 13, 2023, Bismarck received a sixth term renewal for the Bismarck Exploration License.
During 2023, Odyssey continued exploration in the exploration license area to continue to validate the geological prospectivity of the property. In addition to examining the regional geological and tectonic settings of the region, additional multibeam data and 127 geological samples were collected, and seven ROV dives were conducted. These activities increased Bismarck’s confidence in the presence of enriched mineral targets within the exploration license area. Likewise, two target sites were identified for future resource sampling. Future exploration will focus on continued sampling in these locations while working towards a defined resource assessment and gathering environmental baseline data to compile an environmental impact assessment.
Odyssey's multi-year exploration program is planned to focus on robust environmental surveys and studies that will accrue to environmental permitting in compliance with PNG's requirements as well as the development of an Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA"). During the exploration phase, steps to validate and quantify the precious and base metal content of the prospective resource would also be carried out. Once completed, if the data shows extraction can be carried out responsibly, Odyssey will apply for a mining license.
Further development of this project is dependent on the characterization of any resources during exploration.
Regulatory Developments Related to Offshore Critical Mineral Exploration
On April 24, 2025, the President of the United States issued Executive Order 14285, titled “Unleashing America’s Offshore Critical Minerals and Resources.” This directive mandates federal agencies to expedite the responsible exploration and development of seabed mineral resources on the Outer Continental Shelf of the U.S., quantify the nation's offshore mineral endowment, and reinvigorate domestic leadership in extraction and processing technologies. The order further prioritizes the establishment of secure domestic supply chains for critical inputs essential to U.S. national security, energy transition, infrastructure modernization, and food security.
Odyssey is well positioned to benefit from the regulatory momentum and policy priorities laid out in the executive order. Our projects focus on ocean mineral resources that are essential for both agricultural resilience and emerging clean energy technologies. Our subsea mineral exploration experience is directly applicable to all of the projects being considered by the U.S. government.
In addition, Odyssey has been qualified by the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to acquire and hold a marine minerals lease since 2021, and we will consider submitting lease applications based on the new permitting framework. Lease applications are subject to agency review and public process, but recent regulatory actions in response to the executive order are expected to accelerate timelines and enhance the transparency and predictability of the permitting process.
Going Concern Consideration
We have experienced several years of net losses and may continue to do so. Our ability to generate net income or positive cash flows for the next twelve months is dependent upon financings, our success in developing and monetizing our interests in mineral exploration entities, and generating income from exploration charters.
Our 2025 business plan requires us to generate new cash inflows to effectively allow us to perform our planned projects. We continually plan to generate new cash inflows through the monetization of our equity stakes in seabed mineral companies, financings, syndications or other partnership opportunities. If cash inflow ever becomes insufficient to meet our projected business plan requirements, we would be required to follow a contingency business plan based on curtailed expenses and fewer cash requirements.
31
In December 2024, we amended the March 2023 Notes (as defined below) and the December 2023 Notes (as defined below) to, among other items, extend the maturity date of our obligations, and add a conversion feature, thereby deferring a material cash need. In addition, on December 23, 2024, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 7,377,912 shares of Common Stock to certain accredited investors at a purchase price of $0.55 per share. The aggregate purchase price for the shares, before deduction of the Company’s expenses associated with the transaction, was approximately $4.1 million. The proceeds of that sale of Common Stock, together with other anticipated cash inflows, provided sufficient operating funds into the second quarter of 2025. The SPA further provided the investors with the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an additional 7,220,141 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.10 per share at a subsequent closing to be held on July 31, 2025, or such later date as may be agreed by the Company and the purchasers who purchased at least a majority of the initial shares under the SPA. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, and through the date of this filing, purchasers exercised their options to purchase 6,975,488 additional shares of Common Stock under the SPA at $1.10 per share. Sales of Common Stock pursuant to stock options are expected to provide sufficient operating funds through at least the fourth quarter of 2025.
Our consolidated non-restricted cash balance at June 30, 2025 was $3.6 million. We have a working capital deficit at June 30, 2025 of $26.9 million. The total consolidated book value of our assets was approximately $16.6 million at June 30, 2025, which includes cash of $3.6 million. The fair market value of these assets may differ from their net carrying book value. The factors noted above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Revenue
The revenue generated in each period was a result of performing marine research and project administration services for our customers and related parties. Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.1 million, a decrease of $81,000 as compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. We do not consider the fluctuation period over period to be significant.
One company to which we provided these services in both years is a deep-sea mineral exploration company, CIC, which we consider to be a related party because our lead director has an indirect interest in the company (see Note 5 – Related Party Transactions). In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we also provided services to OML, which is also a related party that we account for under the equity method of accounting.
Operating Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses primarily include all costs within the following departments: Executive, Finance & Accounting, Legal, Information Technology, Human Resources, Marketing & Communications, Sales and Business Development. Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $3.8 million, an increase of $1.6 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in director fees of $2.2 million in connection with the Mexican Corporate Transactions, partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million
32
of professional services fees for audit and consulting, a decrease of $0.2 million in legal fees, and a decrease of $56,000 in stock-based compensation.
Operations and research expenses are primarily focused on deep-sea mineral exploration, which include minerals research, scientific services, marine operations and project management. Operations and research expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were to $0.7 million, a decrease of $0.3 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to $0.6 million of decreased costs associated with licenses and permits, which stopped accruing in June 2024, partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in professional fees driven by the Mexican Corporate Transactions.
Total Other Income/Expense
Total other income/expenses were expenses of $12.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, resulting in a net expense increase of $12.1 million. The increased loss was attributable to: (i) a $1.8 million increase in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, relating primarily to the change in fair value of warrants; (ii) $9.4 million of other income in 2024 from our residual economic interest from our legacy shipwreck business that was not present in 2025, and (iii) a $1.2 million decreased foreign exchange income, which were offset by (x) a $0.7 million increase in interest income.
Income Taxes
Due to losses and our net operating loss carryforwards, we did not accrue any income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Non-Controlling Interest
The non-controlling interest adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $2.3 million as compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The substance of this adjustment is primarily due to the decrease in costs relating to permit fees and other standard operating costs.

Revenue
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $0.3 million, a decrease of $0.1 million as compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We do not consider the fluctuation period over period to be significant.
One company to which we provided these services in both periods is a deep-sea mineral exploration company, CIC, which we consider to be a related party because our lead director has an interest in the company (see Note 5 – Related Party Transactions). In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we also provided services to OML, which is also a related party that we account for under the equity method of accounting.
Operating Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $5.6 million, a decrease of $0.6 million as compared to $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease primarily resulted from a decrease of $1.2 million in professional services largely attributable to audit, consulting and legal fees and a decrease of $1.5 million
33
in share-based compensation expense. These decreases were partially offset by $2.1 million of director fees in connection with the Mexican Corporate Transactions.
Operations and research expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $1.3 million, a decrease of $0.6 million as compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily as a result of a $1.2 million decrease in licenses and permits, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in other professional fees.
Total Other Income and Expense
Total other income/expense was $11.0 million of expenses and a $4.9 million of income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, resulting in a decrease of $15.9 million.
The decreased total other income/expense was attributable to: (i) $6.4 million of increased loss in the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, relating primarily to the change in fair value of warrants, litigation financing liability, and debt conversion embedded derivatives, (ii) $9.4 million of other income in 2024 from our residual economic interest from our legacy shipwreck business which was not present in 2025 and (iii) $1.3 million in decreased foreign exchange income. These were partially offset by (i) a $0.1 million increase in interest income; (ii) a $0.2 million decrease in the loss on equity method investment, and (iii) a $1.2 million increase in interest expense, which includes debt discount amortization.
Income Taxes
Due to losses and our net operating loss carryforwards, we did not accrue any income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Non-Controlling Interest
The non-controlling interest adjustment in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $4.9 million as compared to $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The substance of this adjustment is primarily due to the decrease in permit fees and other standard operating costs.

March 2023 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement
On March 6, 2023, Odyssey entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “March 2023 Note Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor pursuant to which Odyssey issued and sold to the investor (a) a promissory note (the “March 2023 Note”) in the principal amount of up to $14.0 million and (b) a warrant (the “March 2023 Warrants” and, together with the March 2023 Note, the “Securities”) to purchase shares of our Common Stock.
On January 30, 2024, the March 2023 Warrants were amended to add a cashless exercise provision. Due to that amendment, the Company determined that the March 2023 Warrants meet the definition of a derivative and are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock due to the settlement adjustment that provides that the share price input upon cashless exercise is always based on the highest of three prices. As such, starting on January 30, 2024, the March 2023 Warrants are recognized as a derivative liability, which was initially measured at fair value and any subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in the period incurred.
On September 5, 2024, the Company entered into amendments of the March 2023 Note with the holders thereof pursuant to which the maturity date of the March 2023 Note was extended from September 6, 2024 to December 6, 2024. In connection with the amendments, the Company repaid an aggregate amount of $3.0 million of the principal outstanding on September 6, 2024.
On December 20, 2024, the Company and the holders of the March 2023 Securities entered into an Amendment to Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “March 2023 NWPA Amendment”) pursuant to which the March 2023 Purchase Agreement was
35
amended to, among other things, (a) add certain covenants, including a requirement for the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity level, and modify certain existing covenants, (b) add related events of default, and (c) provide that the Company’s obligations under the March 2023 Purchase Agreement, the March 2023 Notes, and related documents are guaranteed by specified subsidiaries of the Company.
In connection with the March 2023 NWPA Amendment, the Company issued to each of the holders of the March 2023 Securities an Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note (the “March 2023 AR Notes”), and the Company and such holders entered into amendments (the “March 2023 Warrant Amendments”) to the March 2023 Warrants. The March 2023 Notes were modified by the March 2023 AR Notes to, among other things, (a) extend the maturity date to June 30, 2025, and, subject to an amendment of the Company’s December 2023 Notes (as defined below), to December 31, 2025, (b) add a conversion feature pursuant to which the holders have the right to convert the indebtedness under the March 2023 AR Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to 75% of the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock, provided that the conversion rate will not be less than $1.10 or greater than $2.20. The March 2023 AR Notes include limitations on the holders’ right to exercise the conversion feature, including customary limitations intended to ensure compliance with the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and a provision that provides the Company with the right to settle any exercise of the conversion feature in cash rather than by issuing shares of Common Stock. The condition relating to amendment of the December 2023 Notes was also satisfied on December 20, 2024, such that the maturity date of the March 2023 AR Notes is currently December 31, 2025.
The March 2023 Warrant Amendments modify the exercise price of the March 2023 Warrants from $3.78 to $1.10. In connection with the March 2023 NWPA Amendment, the Company also granted (a) registration rights to the holders of the March 2023 AR Notes and the March 2023 Warrants with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof and (b) provided the holders with security interests in additional collateral to secure the Company’s obligations to the holders.
The change in fair value of the March 2023 Warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was an increase of $2.4 million and an increase of $2.2 million, respectively, and an increase $1.4 million and a decrease of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which has been recorded in the change in derivative liabilities fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the March 2023 Warrants at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $3.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of interest expense from the amortization of the debt discount and $27,386 and $18,141, respectively, of interest from the fee amortization which has been recorded in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of interest expense from the amortization of the debt discount and $54,471 and $36,283, respectively, of interest from fee amortization which has been recorded in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The carrying value of the debt was $13.0 million and $11.6 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which includes interest Paid In Kind (“PIK”) of $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and was net of unamortized debt fees of $55,374 and $89,820, net of unamortized debt discount of $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, associated with the fair value of the warrant. The total face value of this obligation on June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $13.8 million and $13.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, the current interest rate of the March 2023 Notes was 11.0%.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the debt instrument amounted to $13.8 million and $13.1 million, respectively, and was recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in Loans payable – short term, and the embedded derivative amounted to $3.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and was recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in debt derivative.
On January 31, 2025, the Company entered into amendments to the March 2023 Notes transaction documents and the December 2023 Notes transaction documents to implement the Company’s post-closing obligations under the December 2024 amendment to the March 2023 Note Purchase Agreement. The amendments included (a) an amendment to the security agreement securing the March 2023 Notes, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company granted a second-priority security interest in the collateral securing the December 2023 Notes; (b) a second amendment to the December 2023 Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the holders of the December 2023 Notes agreed to the second-priority security interest in the collateral securing the December 2023 Notes; and (c) an intercreditor agreement with the collateral agents for the March 2023 Notes and the December 2023 Notes (the “Collateral Agents”) addressing the relative interests between them with respect to the shared collateral.
On February 25, 2025, the Company entered into amendments to the March 2023 Notes transaction documents and the December 2023 Notes transaction documents in furtherance of the Company’s post-closing obligations under the December 2024 amendment to the March 2023 Note Purchase Agreement and the January 2025 amendment to the December 2023 Note Purchase Agreement. The amendments included (a) a second amendment to the March 2023 Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the holders of the March 2023 Notes agreed to a second-priority security interest in certain of the collateral securing the March 2023 Notes; (b) a third amendment to the December 2023 Note Purchase Agreement to address the grant of security interests in additional collateral; (c) an amendment to the security agreement securing the December 2023 Notes, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company granted a second-priority security interest in the collateral securing the March 2023
36
Notes; and (d) an amended and restated intercreditor agreement with the Collateral Agents addressing the relative interests between them with respect to the shared collateral.
On June 6, 2025, the Company entered into amendments to the March 2023 Notes transaction documents and the December 2023 Notes transaction documents. As part of these amendments, the holders of the March 2023 Notes and December 2023 notes (a) acknowledged and consented to the amendment of the JV Agreement and related transactions, (a) released their liens on the equity of Oceanica; and (b) were granted new liens on the equity interests in ORM held by the Company.
December 2023 Notes and Warrant Purchase Agreement
On December 1, 2023, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “December 2023 Note Purchase Agreement”) with institutional investors pursuant to which we issued and sold to the investors (a) a series of promissory notes (the “December 2023 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $6.0 million and (b) two tranches of warrants (the “December 2023 Warrants” and, together with the December 2023 Notes, the “December 2023 Securities”) to purchase shares of our Common Stock.
The Company determined that the December 2023 Warrants meet the definition of a derivative and are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock due to the settlement adjustment that provides that the share price input upon cashless exercise is always based on the highest of three prices. As such, the December 2023 Warrants were recognized as derivative liabilities and were initially measured at fair value with subsequent gains or losses due to changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The change in fair value of the December 2023 Warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was a an increase of $1.2 million and an increase of $1.1 million, respectively, and an increase of $0.8 million and an increase of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which has been recorded in the change in derivative liabilities fair value in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the December 2023 Warrants at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $1.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of interest expense from the amortization of the debt discount and $10,267 and $10,877, respectively, of interest from the fee amortization which has been recorded in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of interest expense from the amortization of the debt discount, and $20,422 and $21,754, respectively, of interest from the fee amortization, which has been recorded in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The carrying value of the debt was $6.6 million and $6.0 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and was net of unamortized debt fees of $31,027 and $29,710, respectively, net of unamortized debt discount of $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, associated with the fair value of the warrants. The total face value of this obligation at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $6.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The current interest rate of the December 2023 Notes was 11.0%.
At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the debt instrument amounted to $6.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively, and was recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in Loans payable – short term, and the embedded derivative amounted to $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and was recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in debt derivative.
As discussed above, (a) on January 31, 2025 and February 25, 2025, the Company entered into amendments to the March 2023 Notes transaction documents and the December 2023 Notes transaction documents to implement and in furtherance of the Company’s post-closing obligations under the December 2024 amendment to the March 2023 Note Purchase Agreement; and (b) on June 6, 2025, the Company entered into amendments to the March 2023 Notes transaction documents and the December 2023 Notes transaction documents pursuant to which the noteholders consented to the amendment to the JV Agreement, released their liens on the equity interests in Oceanica, and obtained a security interest in the equity interests in ORM held by the Company.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. We do not believe we have material market risk exposure and have not entered into any market risk sensitive instruments to mitigate these risks or for trading or speculative purposes.
Additional disclosures required by Item 305 of Regulation S-K are not required for Smaller Reporting Companies.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO, who is currently also acting as our CFO for this purpose, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025, as the result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, which is currently being remediated.
Management believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As of December 31, 2023, we had identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, relating to the appropriate review of accounting positions for certain significant transactions. Specifically, (a) the Company did not have sufficient resources with the adequate technical skills to identify and evaluate specific accounting positions and conclusions, and (b) the Company had inadequate processes and controls to ensure appropriate level of precision of review related to our financial statement footnote disclosures.
Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weakness
Management is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment. In response to the identified material weakness, management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, has taken actions to remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting by (a) hiring a controller with responsibility for monitoring the performance of controls by control owners, (b) continuing our evaluation of the skills and experience of our existing personnel with respect to public company experience and appropriate level of expertise in the respective areas of accounting, SEC financial reporting and associated internal controls commensurate with the type, volume and complexity of our accounting operations, transactions and reporting requirements, and (c) engaging accounting advisory consultants to provide additional depth and breadth in our SEC financial reporting and technical accounting functions, which consultants we expect to continue to utilize until we have ensured that our internal personnel have the appropriate expertise and experience. In addition, we have reinforced the importance of adherence to Company policies regarding control performance and related documentation with control owners, identified training and resource needs for control owners, and developed monitoring activities to validate the performance of controls by control owners.
The Company anticipates that the actions described above and resulting improvements in controls will strengthen the Company's processes, procedures and controls related to management's review of accounting positions for significant and complex transactions and will address the related material weakness. However, the material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable control has operated for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that the control is operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the ongoing remediation efforts of the material weakness described above, there were no changes during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company may be subject to a variety of claims or suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We are not a party to any litigation as a defendant where a loss contingency is required to be reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to our principal risks that we believe are material to our business, results of operations and financial condition, from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Investors should consider such risk factors prior to making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s securities.
ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Administrators and officers (the “Subsidiary D&Os”) of Oceanica and ExO received or accrued the right to receive an aggregate of 1,911,666 member interests of Oceanica (the “Compensation Quotas”) as compensation for their services in those roles over several years. Odyssey and each of the Subsidiary D&Os entered into Oceanica Equity Exchange Agreements (collectively, the “Oceanica Equity Exchange Agreements”) on June 27, 2025, whereby the Subsidiary D&Os assigned the Compensation Quotas to Odyssey in exchange for shares of Odyssey’s common stock. This exchange resulted in the transfer of the Subsidiary D&Os interests in Oceanica (via the Compensation Quotas) to Odyssey in exchange for shares of Odyssey’s common stock. Accordingly, Odyssey is obligated to issue an aggregate of 1,841,137 shares of its common stock to the Subsidiary D&Os pursuant to the Agreements. Pursuant to the Oceanica Equity Exchange Agreements, the shares are contractually restricted, and will not be legally issued until the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of the exchange or (ii) the date on which the environmental impact statement or certain other approvals are obtained by Phosagmex or ExO.
