| NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| For the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2025 |
| (Unaudited) |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 of Seafarer Exploration Corp. (Seafarer or the Company) are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the Companys financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Companys Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on March 31, 2025. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future period.
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Seafarer Exploration Corp. (Seafarer or the Company), was incorporated on May 28, 2003 in the State of Delaware.
The principal business of the Company is to engage in the archaeologically-sensitive exploration, documentation, recovery, and conservation of historic shipwrecks with the objective of exploring and discovering Colonial-era shipwrecks for future generations to be able to appreciate and understand.
In March of 2014, Seafarer entered into a partnership with Marine Archaeology Partners, LLC (MAP), with the formation of Seafarers Quest, LLC (SQ) for the purpose of exploring a shipwreck site off of Melbourne Beach, Florida. Under the partnership with MAP, Seafarer is the designated manager of SQ.
The Companys wholly owned subsidiary Blockchain LogisTech, LLC (Blockchain), was formed on April 4, 2018 and began operations in 2019. The Company is evaluating Blockchains business opportunities and does not believe that Blockchain will generate any revenues for the foreseeable future.
The Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Exploration Studios, LLC, in May 2018 in order to explore media strategies and opportunities. Exploration Studios, LLC has not yet commenced operations.
Florida Division of Historical Resources Agreements/Permits
The Company successfully renewed its permits with the Florida Division of Historical Resources for its Melbourne Beach historical shipwreck site, for both Areas 1 and 2, on March 22, 2024. The permits are valid until March 21, 2027.
Federal Admiralty Judgment
Seafarer was granted, through the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, a final judgment for its federal admiralty claim on the Juno Beach shipwreck site. The Company is conducting limited exploration operations at the Juno Beach shipwreck site while it awaits updated permitting from the Army Corp of Engineers.
Blockchain Software Services Referral Agreements
Management is reviewing potential alternate plans for Blockchain and believes that it is highly unlikely that Blockchain will generate any revenues for the foreseeable future, if ever.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be
able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has
incurred net losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $
9
Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. The Companys ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock is unknown. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern; however, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classifications of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Convertible Notes Payable and Notes Payable, in Default
The Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to refinance its convertible notes payable and notes payable that are currently in default. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, such lenders may file suit, including suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral for the obligations arising under the secured notes. If any of the lenders file suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral, then the Company may be forced to significantly scale back or cease its operations which would more than likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company. The fact that the Company is in default regarding several loans held by various lenders makes investing in the Company or providing any loans to the Company extremely risky with a very high potential for a complete loss of capital.
The convertible notes that have been issued by the Company are convertible at the lenders option. These convertible notes represent significant potential dilution to the Companys current shareholders as the convertible price of these notes is generally lower than the current market price of the Companys shares. As such when these notes are converted into equity there is typically a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and very high probability that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Companys common stock. Furthermore, management intends to have discussions with several of the promissory note holders who do not currently have convertible notes regarding converting their notes into equity. Any such amended agreements to convert promissory notes into equity would more than likely have a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and there is a very high probability that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Companys common stock.
See Note 5 – Convertible notes payable – in default, Convertible notes payable – related parties, in default, Notes payable – in default, Notes payable – related parties, in default, for further information regarding the Companys convertible notes payable and notes payable that are currently in default due to non payment of principal and interest.
Current Economic Conditions
The Company and certain of its advisors are closely monitoring current domestic economic conditions. Of particular concern is the rate of inflation and the rising cost of fuel. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) recently observed that while inflation growth has continued to moderate in 2025, it still has concerns about potentially inflationary pressures in the general economy for the foreseeable future. The overall inflation in the overall economy that led to higher interest rates may make it more expensive and/or potentially more challenging for the Company to access financing. Additionally, the Companys vessels use large amounts of fuel when in operation and any rise in the per gallon cost of gasoline will cause an increase in the Companys operating expenses. An increase in the cost of fuel may hamper the Companys ability to conduct operations.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and Blockchain which is a wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. There was no change to the previously reported net loss.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term
debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at September
30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally
of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $
10
Research and Development Expenses
Expenditures
for research and development are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses of $
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) and all the related amendments.
The core principle of ASC 606 requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.
The Company recognizes revenue from the referrals that Blockchain has made to providers of software services when payment for a referral is received from the provider of software services. Blockchain, at its sole discretion and with no specific sales quotas or targets, provides referrals of potential end users to the software service providers and is paid a referral fee only after the software services providers receive payment from the end user.
The Company also has a separate sales referral agreement, with no sales quotas or specific goals or targets, with a limited liability company that provides product/system engineering and development services. The Companys performance obligation is met when the payment from the customer is received by the provider of the development services, which is at a point in time. The Company receives referral fees when payment is received from the provider of the product/system development services which is when the Company recognizes revenue under the agreement.
The Company recognizes revenue when cash is received or when it has met its obligations per the terms of a contract or agreement for services. Payments received for services are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue when the services have been provided.
During 2021 the Company entered into an agreement to provide scanning services using its SeaSearcher technology to a corporation involved in searching for historic shipwreck material. Under the terms of the agreement the Company received an upfront payment of $140,000 which has been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 as deferred revenue as the services have not yet been provided.
Earnings Per Share
The Company has adopted the FASB ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share, which provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity.
The
potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were excluded from the dilutive
loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net loss. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were approximately
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, convertible notes payable and payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Depreciation
expense was $
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long Lived Assets, the Company, on a regular basis, reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows, before interest, from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. There were no impairment charges recorded during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Use of Estimates
The process of preparing unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Significant estimates for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 include useful life of property, plant and equipment, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and the fair value of non cash equity transactions.
Segment Information
During 2019, Seafarers wholly owned subsidiary, Blockchain, began operations, generated revenue and incurred expenses. The business of Blockchain has no relation to the Companys shipwreck exploration and recovery operations other than common ownership. As such, the Company concluded that the operations of Blockchain and Seafarer Exploration were separate reportable segments as of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (see Note 10– Segment Information).
Convertible Debentures
The Company adheres to the guidance in Accounting Standards Updated (ASU) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entitys Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 simplifies an issuers accounting for convertible instruments and its application of the derivatives scope exception for contracts in its own equity. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 removes the requirements for accounting for beneficial conversion features.
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including all current liabilities are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The inputs to the valuation methodology of stock options and warrants were under level 3 fair value measurements.
ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed; otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.
The Company follows ASC subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820-10) and ASC 825-10, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company applies the fair value method of FASB ASC 718, Share Based Payment, in accounting for its stock-based compensation. The standard states that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period. The Company values stock-based compensation at the market price for the Companys common stock and other pertinent factors at the grant date.
Fully vested and non-forfeitable shares issued prior to the services being performed are classified as unearned compensation.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases under ASU 2016-02. At the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Companys assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.
Operating lease right of use (ROU) assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is presented in operating expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
12
Finance leases are recorded as a finance lease liability and property, plant and equipment asset, based on the present value of lease payments. The asset is depreciated, and the liability is amortized with interest expense incurred over the life of the lease.
As permitted under the new guidance, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition provisions of the guidance to short term leases (leases with a lease term of twelve months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise); instead, the Company will recognize the lease payments for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Subsequent Events
It is the Companys policy to evaluate all events that occur after the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet date through the date when the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued to determine if they must be reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
All other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including ASU 2023-07 and 2023-09, did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Companys present or future unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4 – RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING AND FINANCE LEASE LIABILITIES
Operating Leases
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value is the incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 10%, as the interest rate implicit in most of the Companys leases are not readily determinable. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Collateralized Promissory Notes

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

The Plaintiffs jointly sought treble damages, attorneys fees, the return of all Seafarer equipment and other equitable relief. In December 2023, the Parties agreed to enter into negotiations towards a settlement. In February 2024, Defendant Grimm agreed to the following terms: i) Vessel – Good Fortune was sold and Plaintiffs received $15,000 cash payment in recognition of Smiths fifty (50%) percent ownership of the haul; ii) Seakeeper Stabilizer, Garmin GPS, and certain other electronics were removed from the Good Fortune and returned to Seafarer; iii) Grimm relinquished 10,000,000 shares of Seafarer Common Stock, which was conveyed to Seafarer in recognition of Plaintiffs Attorney Fees. Seafarer does not anticipate that it will be able to collect any fees from Grimm.
On September 6, 2024, the Plaintiff, Diane McConnell filed suit against Seafarer Exploration Corporation and Kyle Kennedy in the County Court of Brevard County, Florida. The suit alleges breach of contract and negligence regarding the maintenance and upkeep of a residential property. Seafarer leased the property from Plaintiff, as lodging for boat captains and crew. The lease was without incident for nearly ten years until the Plaintiff decided to sell the property and subsidize Plaintiffs remodeling effort through the initiation of this suit. The Plaintiffs claims are meritless, as the Complaint fails to state a cause of action for breach of contract and fails to identify any provision of the lease agreement that Defendants have allegedly breached. Plaintiff also has suffered no compensatory damages resulting from any alleged breach of contract. Plaintiff is improperly seeking to pass wear and tear and maintenance costs to Defendants after the conclusion of a decade long residential tenancy. Plaintiffs claim for breach of contract against Defendant Kennedy is barred as he is not a party to the subject Lease and is not a proper party to this action. Kennedy did not sign the Lease in his individual capacity but only on behalf of Seafarer, and he does not have privity of contract with Plaintiff. In February 2025, the Plaintiff presented a formal Proposal for Settlement requesting a one-time payment of $13,000 in exchange for the dismissal of the lawsuit with prejudice (and with everyone bearing their own fees and costs). Defendant rejected the Settlement Offer, perceiving it to be tantamount to extortion. On March 14th, 2025, Defendant filed its answer to the Complaint along with affirmative defenses and two counterclaims – i) one for breach of contract and ii) one for breach of duty of good faith. Defendant is seeking suit costs, plus interest, and attorneys fees.

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
Seafarers wholly owned subsidiary Blockchain began operations in 2019 by providing referrals in exchange for referral fees for closed business.
Due to Blockchain starting operations which have no relation to the Companys shipwreck and exploration recovery business, the Company evaluated this business and its impact upon the existing corporate structure. The Company has determined that Blockchain and Seafarer Exploration Corp. operate as separate segments of the business. As such, the Company has presented the income (loss) from operations during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 incurred by the two separate segments below.
During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, Blockchain revenues were $0 and were 0% of the consolidated revenues of the Company.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to business and economic risks and uncertainties, and which speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. No one should place strong or undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The use in this Form 10-Q of such words as believes, plans, anticipates, expects, intends, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Seafarers actual results or actions may differ materially from these forward-looking statements and is dependent on many other factors including, primarily, the Companys ability to raise additional capital. Such factors include, among others, the following: the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, general economic and business conditions; competition; success of operating initiatives; ability to raise capital and the terms thereof; changes in business strategy or development plans; future revenues; the continuity, experience and quality of management; changes in or failure to comply with government regulations or the lack of government authorization to continue working on projects; and other factors referenced in the Form 10-Q. This Item should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, the related notes and with the understanding that Seafarers actual future results may be materially different from what is currently expected or projected by the Company.
Seafarer cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and estimates of the Companys management, as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available at the time such statements were made. Forward looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward looking statements, including, without limitation, the failure to successfully locate cargo and artifacts from the Juno Beach shipwreck site and a number of other risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, either as a result of the matters set forth or incorporated in this Report or due to certain economic and business factors, some of which may be beyond Seafarers control.
Seafarer disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
General Information
Seafarer has generated only minimal revenue from operations and does not expect to report any significant revenue from operations for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred recurring losses to date. These factors and others raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in operation.
The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and to generate negative cash flow from operating activities, while building out its infrastructure in order to explore and salvage historic shipwreck sites and establishing itself in the marketplace. Based on our historical rate of expenditures, the Company expects to expend its available cash in less than one month from the filing date of this report.
Since inception, the Company has funded its operations through common stock issuances and loans in order to meet its strategic objectives; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain further funds to continue with its efforts to establish a new business. There is a very significant risk that the Company will be unable to obtain financing to fund its operation and as such the Company may be forced to cease operations at any time which would likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been invested in and/or borrowed by the Company to date.
The Companys ability to eliminate operating losses and to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which it is unable to control. If the Company is unable to implement its business plan successfully, it may not be able to eliminate operating losses, generate positive cash flow or achieve or sustain profitability, which may have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, operations, and financial results, as well as its ability to make payments on its debt obligations, and the Company may be forced to cease operations.
If the Company is unable to secure additional financing, our business may fail and our stock price will likely be materially adversely affected. The Companys lack of operating cash flow and reliance on the sale of its common stock and loans to fund operations is extremely risky. If the Company is unable to continue to raise capital or obtain loans or other financing on terms that are acceptable to the Company, or at all, then it is highly likely that the Company will be forced to cease operations. If the Company ceases its operations, then it is very likely that all capital invested in and/or borrowed by the Company will be lost.
This type of business venture is extremely speculative in nature and carries a tremendous amount of risk. An investment in the Companys securities is highly speculative and very risky and should only be considered by those investors or lenders who do not require near-term liquidity and who can afford to suffer a total loss of their investment.
Summary of the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2025 Results of Operations Compared to the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2024 Results of Operations
Revenue
The Companys core business involving the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks has not generated any revenues to date and is not expected to generate any significant revenues for the foreseeable future. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company generated $0 and $9,784 of revenue respectively, which is shown as service income on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
23
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $1,903,403 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 versus $2,664,502 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 29%. The decrease in operating expenses in 2025 was primarily due to a $595,952 or 42% decrease in consulting and contractor expenses, a $110,870 or 62% decrease in vessel related expenses, a $63,843 or 48% decrease in travel and entertainment expenses, a $65,363 or 20% decrease in general and administrative expenses, and a $9,635 or 7% decrease in professional fees. Research and development expenses increased by $72,734 during the period ended September 30, 2025. The Company believes that it will continue to expend significant resources to further develop the SeaSearcher and to begin developing next generation versions of the technology and research and development expenses are expected to fluctuate for the foreseeable future based on the adoption of technological advances and upgrades into the existing SeaSearcher platform and the availability of financing. Operating expenses decreased due to a lack of financing and inclement weather and ocean conditions that hampered operations.
Other Expenses
Other expense was $152,287 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 versus $407,024 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $254,737 or 63%. The decrease in other expenses in 2025 was due to a $158,629 or 81% decrease in loss on extinguishment of debt and a $104,628 or 48% decrease in interest expenses.
Net Losses
The Companys net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $2,055,690 and $3,061,742, respectively, a year-over-year decrease of $1,006,052 or approximately 33%. Net losses decreased in 2025 due to decrease in operating expenses and other expenses.
Summary of the Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2025 Results of Operations Compared to the Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2024 Results of Operations
Revenue
The Companys core business involving the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks has not generated any revenues to date and is not expected to generate any significant revenues for the foreseeable future. During the three month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company generated $0 and $6,614 of revenue respectively, which is shown as service income on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $643,508 for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 versus $740,058 for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $96,550 or 13%. The decrease in operating expenses in 2025 was primarily due to a $134,180 or 33% decrease in consulting and contractor expenses, a $24,918 or 25% decrease in general and administrative expenses, and a $18,857 or 46% decrease in travel and entertainment expenses. These expense decreases offset a $73,389 increase in research and development expenses. The Company believes that it will continue to expend significant resources to further develop the SeaSearcher and to begin developing next generation versions of the technology and research and development expenses are expected to fluctuate for the foreseeable future based on the adoption of technological advances and upgrades into the existing SeaSearcher platform and the availability of financing. Operating expenses decreased due to a lack of financing and inclement weather that hampered operations.
Other Expenses
Other expense was $36,625 during the three month period ended September 30, 2025 versus $35,630 during the three month period ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $995 or 3%.
Net Losses
The Company’s net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $680,133, and $769,074, respectively, a year-over-year decrease of $88,941 or approximately 12%. Net losses decreased in 2025 due to a decrease in net loss from operations.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 net cash flows used in operating activities was $1,545,592.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 net cash flows used in operating activities was $2,255,523.
Cash flows used in operating activities decreased in 2025 primarily due to a decrease in the Companys net losses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 net cash flows used in investing activities was $0.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 net cash flows used in investing activities was $0.
24
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 net cash provided by financing activities was $1,546,549.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 net cash provided by financing activities was $2,056,217.
Cash flows provided by financing activities decreased in 2025 primarily due to decreases in the proceeds from note payable and convertible notes payable and issuance of common stock which offset an increase in the proceeds from a line of credit and payments on notes payable, in default.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2025, the Company had $24,653 cash in the bank. During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 the Company incurred net losses of $2,055,690 and $3,061,742 respectively. At September 30, 2025, the Company had $30,442 in current assets and $3,501,937 in current liabilities, leaving the Company a working capital deficit of $3,471,495.
Lack of Liquidity
A major financial challenge and significant risk facing the Company is a lack of positive cash flow and liquidity. The Company continued to operate with significant debt and a working capital deficit during the nine month period ended September 30, 2025. This working capital deficit indicates that the Company is unable to meet its short-term liabilities with its current assets. This working capital deficit is extremely risky for the Company as it may be forced to cease its operations due to its inability to meet its current obligations. If the Company is forced to cease its operations, then it is highly likely that all capital invested in and/or borrowed by the Company will be lost.
The expenses associated with being a small publicly traded company attempting to develop the infrastructure to explore and salvage historic shipwrecks recovery are extremely prohibitive, especially given that the Company does not currently generate any significant revenues and does not expect to generate any significant revenues in the near future. There are ongoing expenses associated with operations that are incurred whether the Company is conducting shipwreck recovery operations or not. Vessel maintenance, upkeep expenses and docking fees are continuous and unavoidable regardless of the Companys operational status. Management anticipates that the vessels utilized by the Company in its operations will need continuous and unavoidable repairs and maintenance, particularly if the Company ramps up its operational footprint and is working on more than one site simultaneously as anticipated. These repairs and maintenance are expensive and have a negative impact on the Companys cash position.
In addition to the operation expenses, a publicly traded company also incurs the significant recurring corporate expenses related to maintaining publicly traded status, which include, but are not limited to accounting, legal, audit, executive, administrative, corporate communications, rent, telephones, etc. The recurring expenses associated with being a publicly traded company are very burdensome for smaller public companies such as Seafarer. This lack of liquidity creates a very risky situation for the Company in terms of its ability to continue operating, which in turn makes owning shares of the Companys common stock extremely risky and highly speculative. The Companys lack of liquidity may cause the Company to be forced to cease operations at any time which would likely result in a complete loss of all capital invested in or borrowed by the Company to date.
Due to the fact that the Company does not generate any revenues and does not expect to generate revenues for the foreseeable future it must rely on outside equity and debt funding. The combination of the ongoing operating expenses that must be met even during times when there is little or no exploration or recovery activities taking place, and corporate expenses, creates a very risky situation for the Company and its shareholders in terms of the need to access external financing to fund operations. This working capital shortfall and lack of access to cash to fund corporate activities is extremely risky and may force the Company to cease its operations which would more than likely result in a complete loss of all capital invested in or loaned to the Company to date.
Lack of Revenues and Cash Flow/Significant Losses from Operations
The exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks requires a multi-year, multi-stage process and it may be many years before any significant revenue is generated from exploration and recovery activities, if ever. The Company does not believe that it will generate any significant revenues in the near future. The Company believes that it may be several years before it is able to generate any cash flow from its operations, if any are ever generated at all. Without revenues and cash flow the Company does not have reliable cash flow to pay its expenses. The Company relies on outside financing in the form of equity and debt and it is possible that the Company may not be able to obtain outside financing in the future. If the Company is not able to obtain financing it would more than likely be forced to cease operations and all of the capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company would be lost.
If the Company is unable to secure additional financing, our business may fail or our operating results and our stock price may be materially adversely affected. The raising of additional financing would in all likelihood result in dilution or reduction in the value of the Companys securities.
The Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. If the Company is not able to continue as a going concern, it is highly likely that all capital invested in the Company or borrowed by the Company will be lost. The report of our independent auditors for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, we have experienced operating losses in every year since our inception resulting in an accumulated deficit. If the Company is not able to continue as a going concern, it is highly likely that all capital invested in the Company or borrowed by the Company will be lost.
The Company has experienced a net loss in every fiscal year since inception. The Companys losses from operations were $1,903,403 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 and $2,654,718 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024. The Company believes that it will continue to generate losses from its operations for the foreseeable future and the Company may not be able to generate a profit in the long-term, or ever.
25
Convertible Notes Payable and Notes Payable, in Default
The Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to refinance its convertible notes payable and notes payable that are currently in default. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, such lenders may file suit, including suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral for the obligations arising under the secured notes. If any of the lenders file suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral, then the Company may be forced to significantly scale back or cease its operations which would more than likely result in a complete loss of all capital that has been invested in or borrowed by the Company. The fact that the Company is in default regarding several loans held by various lenders makes investing in the Company or providing any loans to the Company extremely risky with a very high potential for a complete loss of capital.
The convertible notes that have been issued by the Company are convertible at the lenders option. These convertible notes represent significant potential dilution to the Companys current shareholders as the convertible price of these notes is generally lower than the current market price of the Companys shares. As such when these notes are converted into equity there is typically a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and very high probability that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Companys common stock. Furthermore, management intends to have discussions or has already had discussions with several of the promissory note holders who do not currently have convertible notes regarding converting their notes into equity. Any such amended agreements to convert promissory notes into equity would more than likely have a highly dilutive effect on current shareholders and there is a very high probability that such dilution may significantly negatively affect the trading price of the Companys common stock. Some of these note holders have already amended their notes and converted the notes into equity. Based on conversations with other note holders, the Company believes that additional note holders will amend their notes to contain a convertibility clause and eventually convert the notes into equity.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities (see Note 3, Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the notes to the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 contained in this filing). On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates based upon different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates are reasonable.
Management is aware that certain changes in accounting estimates employed in generating financial statements can have the effect of making the Company look more or less profitable than it actually is. Management does not believe that the Company has made any such changes in accounting estimates.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Managements Responsibility for Controls and Procedures
The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Companys financial reporting. The Companys controls over financial reporting are designed under the supervision of the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer/principal accounting officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely record, process, summarize and report financial information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports due to the Companys limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and review process, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
26
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of September 30, 2025, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and based on the criteria for effective internal control described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (as revised). Based on our evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective so as to timely record, process, summarize and report financial information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports due to the Companys limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and review process, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
Management, including its Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures, or its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
The Company has limited resources and as a result, a material weakness in financial reporting currently exists, because of our limited resources and personnel, including those described below.
| * | The Company has an insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. |
| * | We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions. |
| * | We do not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is Managements view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent audit committee financial expert is an important entity-level control over the Companys financial statements. |
A material weakness is a deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) auditing standard 5) or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that a material weakness exists due to a lack of segregation of duties, resulting from the Companys limited resources and personnel.
Remediation Efforts to Address Deficiencies in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As a result of these findings, management, upon obtaining sufficient capital and operations, intends to take practical, cost-effective steps in implementing internal controls, including the possible remedial measures set forth below. As of September 30, 2025 we did not have sufficient capital and/or operations to implement any of the remedial measures described below:
| * | Assessing the current duties of existing personnel and consultants, assigning additional duties to existing personnel and consultants, and, in a cost effective manner, potentially hiring additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Companys financial statements to allow for proper segregation of duties, as well as additional resources for control documentation. |
| * | Assessing the duties of the existing officers of the Company and, in a cost effective manner, possibly promote or hire additional personnel to diversify duties and responsibilities of such executive officers. |
| * | Board to review and make recommendations to shareholders concerning the composition of the Board of Directors, with particular focus on issues of independence. The Board of Directors will consider nominating an audit committee and audit committee financial expert, which may or may not consist of independent members. |
| * | Interviewing and potentially hiring outside consultants that are experts in designing internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (as revised). |
This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.
(b) Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company has not made any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine month period ended September 30, 2025.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On December 21, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court in and for Hillsborough County, Florida against John Grimm (Grimm), for one count of Conversion. On February 8, 2023, the Company amended its Complaint to include Zachary Smith as co-plaintiff (the Company and Smith are collectively the Plaintiffs) against Grimm for one count of Conversion, one count of Rescission, one count of Civil Theft, one count of Breach of Fiduciary Duty, and one count of Judicial Dissolution. The Plaintiffs jointly sought treble damages, attorneys fees, the return of all Seafarer equipment and other equitable relief. In December 2023, the Parties agreed to enter into negotiations towards a settlement. In February 2024, Defendant Grimm agreed to the following terms: i) Vessel – Good Fortune was sold and Plaintiffs received $15,000 cash payment in recognition of Smiths fifty (50%) percent ownership of the haul; ii) Seakeeper Stabilizer, Garmin GPS, and certain other electronics were removed from the Good Fortune and returned to Seafarer; iii) Grimm relinquished 10,000,000 shares of Seafarer Common Stock, which was conveyed to Seafarer in recognition of Plaintiffs Attorney Fees. Seafarer does not anticipate that it will be able to collect any fees from Grimm.
On September 6, 2024, the Plaintiff, Diane McConnell filed suite against Seafarer Exploration Corporation and Kyle Kennedy in the County Court of Brevard County, Florida. The suit alleges breach of contract and negligence regarding the maintenance and upkeep of a residential property. Seafarer leased the property from Plaintiff, as lodging for boat captains and crew. The lease was without incident for nearly ten years until the Plaintiff decided to sell the property and subsidize Plaintiffs remodeling effort through the initiation of this suit. The Plaintiffs claims are meritless, as the Complaint fails to state a cause of action for breach of contract and fails to identify any provision of the lease agreement that Defendants have allegedly breached. Plaintiff also has suffered no compensatory damages resulting from any alleged breach of contract. Plaintiff is improperly seeking to pass wear and tear and maintenance costs to Defendants after the conclusion of a decade long residential tenancy. Plaintiffs claim for breach of contract against Defendant Kennedy is barred as he is not a party to the subject Lease and is not a proper party to this action. Kennedy did not sign the Lease in his individual capacity but only on behalf of Seafarer, and he does not have privity of contract with Plaintiff. In February 2025, the Plaintiff presented a formal Proposal for Settlement requesting a one-time payment of $13,000 in exchange for the dismissal of the lawsuit with prejudice (and with everyone bearing their own fees and costs). Defendant rejected the Settlement Offer, perceiving it to be tantamount to extortion. On March 14th, 2025, Defendant filed its answer to the Complaint along with affirmative defenses and two counterclaims – i) one for breach of contract and ii) one for breach of duty of good faith. Defendant is seeking suit costs, plus interest, and attorneys fees.

Item 2. Recent Sales and Other Issuances of Unregistered Securities
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued 14,100,000 shares for various services. The Company believes that the issuance of the securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering and based on the fact that such securities were issued for services to sophisticated or accredited investors and persons who are thoroughly familiar with the Companys proposed business by virtue of their affiliation with the Company.
On various dates during the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company entered into subscription agreements to sell 773,190,834 shares of its restricted common stock in exchange for proceeds of $1,427,715. The proceeds received were used for general corporate purposes, working capital and repayment of some debt.
Exemptions from Registration for Sales of Restricted Securities.
The issuance of securities referenced above were issued to persons who the Company believes were either accredited investors, or sophisticated investors who, by reason of education, business acumen, experience or other factors, were fully capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in us; and each had prior access to all material information about us. None of these transactions involved a public offering. An appropriate restrictive legend was placed on each certificate that has been issued, prohibiting public resale of the shares, except subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) or in compliance with Rule 144. The Company believes that the offer and sale of these securities was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) thereof, and/or Regulation D. There may be additional exemptions available to the Company.
