PART I

ITEM 1—BUSINESS

Our Corporate History and Background

We were incorporated as Tecton Corporation, a Nevada corporation, on January 19, 2006, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hemis Corporation.  On December 1, 2006, Hemis declared a dividend of Tecton shares to all shareholders as of that date and concurrently cancelled its share ownership Tecton.  The effect of this dividend declaration and share cancellation was that Tecton was spun off as an independent company.  On January 2, 2014, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to “Endurance Exploration Group, Inc.”  As used in this report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our,” “Endurance” and “the Company” mean Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. (formerly Tecton Corporation), unless otherwise indicated.

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

5

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

Amended and restated our Articles of Incorporation to increase the total authorized capital stock to 110,000,000 shares, being comprised of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.001;

·

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

·

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

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

Endurance Explorations Group, LLC

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

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

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

6

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

Projects code-named “Sailfish” and “Black Marlin” have now reached operational or pre-operational status. For project “Sailfish” we have now surveyed over 700 square miles in the Western Atlantic Ocean in search of a sunken passenger liner carrying a substantial cargo of gold coinage. In addition to this manifest cargo, we also expect to find additional valuables among the personal stores of the ship’s passengers. Please refer to Current & Ongoing Projects for additional information.

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

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

Description of Key Equipment  

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

Survey Ship

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

Sidescan Sonar

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

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

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

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

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

ROV Shackleton 1

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

Employees

The Company has four corporate officers.  Each officer is also an officer of another entity and not full time employees of the Company.  A list of the Company’s officers and the average number of hours per week each officer expects to devote to Company affairs are as follows:

Micah Eldred, Director, President and CEO, 15 hours per week.

Carl Dilley, Director and Vice President, 10 hours per week.

Christine Zitman, Director, Secretary, Treasurer and CFO, 15 hours per week.

Guy Zajonc, Director and Vice President, 15 hours per week.

Other Employees and Contractors

We utilize contract personnel for vessel operation during our survey periods, and intend to continue to use contract technicians to perform marine survey and recovery operations in the future. From time to time, we have or intend to hire other contractors, subcontractors and consultants to perform specific services.  During 2013, three individuals who joined our Board of Directors in January 2014 were employed in various capacities by us as independent contracts.  See “Item 10 – EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION - Compensation Paid to Messrs. Zajonc, Saint Amour and de Montille in 2013” below.

Project Operations Research

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

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

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

10

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

These factors include, but are not limited to:

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

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

11

Search

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

Recovery

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

Post-Recovery Conservation

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

Sales

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

Current & Ongoing Projects

Project “Sailfish”- Research Summary

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

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

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

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

12

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

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

Project “Sailfish” – Current Status

Side-scan sonar survey operations on Project “Sailfish” began in July of 2013, and continued through the summer weather window until September 2013.  Over the course of this initial survey, approximately 700 square miles were digitally mapped. This sonar imagery was then post-processed and evaluated for potential targets.

Additional analysis conducted in early 2014 of the side scan sonar data we collected in 2013, reveals a shipwreck target with a number of characteristics that are consistent with what we believe we would see in a side scan sonar image of, our targeted shipwreck, “Sailfish”.  At this point in time, we cannot confirm whether or not we have located and imaged “Sailfish” with our side scan sonar equipment.  We intend to conduct an ROV inspection in early to mid-year 2014 and verify whether or not the target we have located is, or is not, “SAILFISH”.

Project “Black Marlin”- Research Summary

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

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

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

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

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

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

13

Project “Black Marlin” – Current Status

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

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

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

Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises and concession

Currently, we neither own nor rely on any patents, trademarks, licenses or franchises.  We have been granted a concession for shipwreck search and recovery in the territorial waters of an East African island nation by the government of that nation.  The contract provides us with a three-year period in which to operate within the territorial waters of the nation with full permission to survey for and recover the “Black Marlin” and her silver cargo.  Net proceeds of our recovery efforts, after payment the costs to transport, store and insure any recovered items, will be split between us (75%) and the island government (25%).

Competition

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

Governmental and Environmental Regulation

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

14

Project “Black Marlin” – Government or environmental regulations that may restrict our operations.

The island nation has signed and ratified the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas (the “LOS”).  In this capacity and in keeping with the provisions of the LOS, the island nation asserts jurisdiction over its territorial waters, defined by the LOS as 12 nautical miles, 22.2 kilometer or 13.1 miles from the low water mark of the coastal state. Based upon its historical research, we believe the “Black Marlin” sank within the territorial waters of the island nation.  While the island nation is not a signatory to nor has it ratified the International Convention on Salvage (“ICS”), the Company and its contractors operate in accordance the provisions of the ICS.  Those provisions state generally, that in undertaking salvage a salvage company shall exercise due care in order to minimizing damage to the environment.  Damage to the environment is defined by the Treaty under Article 1 (d) as follows:  “Damage to the environment” means substantial physical damage to human health or to marine life or resources in coastal or inland waters or areas adjacent thereto, caused by pollution, contamination, fire, explosion or similar major incidents.” The Company and its contractors take into account complying with the ISC when estimating costs for the “Black Marlin” cargo recovery operations. The island country has no written laws or regulations with respect to salvage operations in general and has placed no additional restrictions on the operations of the Company when it begins operations to locate and recover the “Black Marlin’s” cargo.  

Project “Sailfish” – – Government or environmental regulations that may restrict our operations.

We believe that “Sailfish” is the wreck of the S.S. Connaught a paddlewheel steamer that sank in October 1860.   That shipwreck is located approximately 125 miles off the coast of the United States of America (“U.S.”).  While the U.S. has not ratified the LOS, this location is recognized under U.S. law as being in international waters.  The Company has elected to submit itself to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal Courts by filing a case in admiralty on October 3, 2014 in the U.S. District Court, Middle District of Florida.  The process of adjudicating ownership and claims, including the Company’s request for a salvage claim or, in the alternative, title to the ship and its cargo, will proceed in the U.S. Court pursuant to U.S. admiralty law.  The right to salvage a privately own vessel is not subject to approval of the U.S. Courts or any government agency.  Once a party has submitted themselves to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal Courts, the Court can determine the ownership rights to the cargo salvaged and the amount of a salvage award according to precedent cases ruled upon by the U.S. Supreme Court.  The Company makes its claims based upon those legal precedents.  

The United States Coast Guard undertakes marine environmental protection in U.S. waters pursuant to Volume IX of its Marine Environmental Protection – Marine Safety Manual – COMDTINST M16000.14.  As specified in Chapter 1 on page 16, the U.S. Coast Guard also looks to the International Convention on Salvage for guidance on salvage operations even though the U.S. has not ratified that treaty.  The Company and its contractors conduct salvage operations within the guidelines of the ICS. The Company and its contractors take into account complying with the ISC when estimating costs for the S.S. Connaught cargo recovery operations.

ITEM 1A.—RISK FACTORS

Risks Related To Our Overall Business Operations

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

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

15

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

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, and 201 2 , reflect net losses of $ 885,874 and $319,628 respectively.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.  

In light of the acquisition of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group, LLC on December 31, 2013, and since both entities were under common control, the comparative financial statements are presented as if the previously separated entities were combined. We are currently evaluating acquisitions and other business opportunities. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain clients and investment capital from future funding opportunities.  No assurance can be given that we will be successful in these efforts.

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

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

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

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

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

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

16

·

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

·

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

·

outbreaks of pandemic or contagious diseases;

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

domestic and international political and geo-political conditions;

·

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

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

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

·

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

·

spending cash and incurring debt;

·

assuming contingent liabilities; and

·

creating additional expenses.

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

17

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

·

coordinating sales, distribution and marketing functions;

·

integrating technology information systems; and

·

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our background research and data-gathering may prove unreliable.

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

Operations may be hindered by natural hazards and weather patterns.

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

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

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

18

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

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

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

Other public and private entities may claim title to sites and/or recovered objects. Even if we are successful in locating and recovering shipwrecks and/or cargo, we cannot guarantee we will be able to establish or maintain legal possession over recovered objects if challenged by governmental entities, prior owners, decedents of prior owners, insurance interests, and other salvors.

We may experience delays in monetizing any recovered objects.

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

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

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

Objects we recover could be taken from our possession.

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

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

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

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

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

19

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

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

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

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

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

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

We face significant competition from better-established competitors

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

Risks Related To the Market for Our Stock

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

21

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

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

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

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

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

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

ITEM 2—PROPERTIES

We currently share, at no charge, leased office space at 15500 Roosevelt Blvd., Suite 301, Clearwater, FL 33760, with Island Capital Management, an affiliate controlled by Micah Eldred.  We believe that such space is sufficient for our needs.  

ITEM 3—LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

ITEM 4—MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 5—MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

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

High and Low Bid Prices on Our Common Stock

Year	Quarter Ended	High	Low
2013	December 31	$0.495	$0.022
2013	September 30	$0.5799	$0.10
2013	June 30	$0.64	$0.075

We are a voluntary filer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  As such, we make available our annual report which includes audited financial statements, and our quarterly reports which include unaudited financial statements.

As of December 31, 2013 there were 357 shareholders of record. The Board of Directors believes that the number of beneficial owners is greater than the number of record holders because a portion of our outstanding common stock is held in broker “street names” for the benefit of individual investors.

Dividends

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

23

Warrants and Options

As of December 31, 2013, we had issued non-qualified options to purchase 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at any time prior to December 15, 2015, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share.

Issuances of Unregistered Securities

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

·

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

·

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

·

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

On May 8, 2013, Endeavour filed a notice of conversion for $3,400 of its debt, in exchange for 19,736,560 of pre-reverse split preferred shares.  These shares converted to 493,414 shares of preferred stock after the reverse split, and were converted into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis on December 31, 2013.  

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

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

On December 31, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of, and we issued, options to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.25 per share any time prior to December 15, 2015.  Options were issued to our directors (Micah Eldred, Carl Dilley and Christine Zitman), our employees and certain consultants and service providers as compensation for services rendered and as an inducement for the consultants (Guy Zajonc, Steven Saint Amour and Errol de Montille) to join our Board of Directors.  

All of the foregoing shares issuances were exempt from registration under Section 4(2)(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

ITEM 6—SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not applicable

ITEM 7—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The results presented in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” are those of Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries as reflected in the audited consolidated financial statements included herein.

Plan of Operation

Side-scan sonar survey operations on Project “Sailfish” began in July of 2013. Over the course of this initial survey, approximately 700 square miles were digitally mapped. This sonar imagery was then post-processed and evaluated for potential targets. In October of 2014 we believe we positively identified the target of Project “Sailfish,” the Steamship S.S. Connaught . We intend to return to the site of the S.S. Connaught in 2015 to recover its cargo. The cost of recovering the cargo of the S.S. Connaught is estimated to be $1,200,000.  The Company needs additional working capital to recover the cargo of the S.S. Connaught .  There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in securing additional working capital and therefore cannot represent it will ever be in position to recover the cargo of the S.S. Connaught .

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

Results of Operations

The following information represents our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 201 2.  Since both entities were under common control, the comparative financial statements are presented as if the previously separated entities were combined.

Revenue

Since our inception on January 19, 2006 to September 30, 2014, we have not generated any revenues.  The Company cannot represent that, in the future, it will ever generate revenue from aquatic research, survey, inspection and recovery projects, as well as maritime contract services and consulting.

26

Expenses

We incurred $19,925 in stock based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31 , 201 2 , an increase of $19,925.  The stock based compensation is a result of the options issued at December 31, 2013.

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $ 121,013 for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $ 33,567 for the year ended December 31 , 201 2 , an increase of $ 87,446 .  The general and administrative costs consist primarily of legal and professional fees.  

Net Losses

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $ 885,874 as compared to $ 319,628 for the year ended December 31, 201 2 .

Current Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since Endeavour Cooperative Partners, LLC, acquired control of us in January 2013, we have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities in private placements and debt financing.

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

Net cash used by operating activities was $ 763,924 for the year ended December 31, 2013.   

Net cash used by investing activities was $ 59,198 for the year ended December 31, 2013 .

Net cash provided by financing activities was $ 772,102 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  This amount represents funds advanced from related parties to facilitate operations for the period.

Other Recent Financings

On December 31, 2013, we entered into an Addendum to the Debt Conversion Agreement, dated May 6, 2013, with Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC, a company controlled by Micah Eldred and Carl Dilley, in the amount of $289,390.  This amount represents the related party debt payable to Endeavour as of that date.  The terms of the agreement allowed for Endeavour to convert this debt into common stock at $0.022727 per share, which Endeavour did, as a result of which we issued 12,733,496 shares to Endeavour.  

Future Capital Requirements

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

Our plans to finance our operations include seeking both equity and debt financing, alliances or other partnership agreements, or other business transactions, that would generate sufficient resources to ensure continuation of our operations.  

27

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

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

Research and Development

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and  2012, we incurred expenses for research consultants and travel of $32,533 and $9,029 .

Inflation

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

Critical Accounting Estimates – Stock Based Compensation

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

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. (formerly Tecton Corporation)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.  

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These financial statements have been restated to include the combined operations of entities under common control for each period presented.

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

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Description of Business

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

On November 8, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a change of the Company’s fiscal year from January 31, to December 31.   Thus, our next full fiscal year will begin on January 1, 2014. These financial statements are being filed as part of a transition report on Form 10-K covering the transition period that began February 1, 2013 and ended December 31, 2013. Since both entities were under common control, the comparative financial statements are presented as if the previously separated entities were combined.

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

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

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

Our corporate headquarters are located in Clearwater, Florida.

The company discontinued operations on or about June 1, 2008 and has incurred losses of $4,940,214 since inception through December 31, 2013.  The company was formerly an exploration stage company but is no longer reporting as such.

Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. (formerly Tecton Corporation) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013. The acquisition of the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group LLC and its wholly owned Panamanian subsidiary formed to hold the registry of a research vessel, occurred as of the close of its business on December 31, 2013 . Since both entities were under common control, the comparative financial statements are presented as if the previously separated entities were combined.

All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

35

Use of Estimates

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

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 20, 2014 to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in this report. Based upon this evaluation, management determined that all subsequent events that require recognition in the financial statements have been included.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Fixed Assets

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

Income Taxes

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

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

Net Earnings (Losses) Per Common Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Dilutive common stock equivalents may consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise of the Company’s stock options and warrants (calculated using the treasury stock method). As of December 31, 2013, there were 5,000,000 common stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and were not included in the calculation. Common stock issuable is considered outstanding as of the original approval date for purposes of earnings per share computations.

36

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of financial instruments, which include cash, loans receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and advances from related parties were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from financial instruments.

Comprehensive Income

The Company records comprehensive income as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. As of December 31, 2013 the Company had no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

Stock Based Compensation

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to December 31, 2013 through the date these financial statements were issued.

NOTE B – GOING CONCERN MATTERS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements for the period January 19, 2006 (date of inception) to December 31, 2013, the Company incurred losses of $4,940,214. The Company has minimal liquid assets. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

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

NOTE C – ACQUISITION OF ENDURANCE EXPLORATION GROUP LLC MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

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

37

The majority shareholders of Endurance Exploration Group, Inc. (formerly Tecton Corporation) also held a majority interest in Endurance Exploration Group LLC, and maintained controlling interests in both entities both before and after the transaction.  Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a corporate re-organization because of the common control.  The book value of Endurance Exploration Group LLC at the time of the acquisition was as follows:

Fixed assets - net						448,980
Other assets						3,805

NOTE E – ADVANCES FROM RELATED PARTIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On April 27, 2011, the Company borrowed $25,000 from Island Capital Management, LLC, under a promissory note bearing interest at 6%.   Island Capital Management, LLC is related through common shareholders.  The original maturity of the note was April 27, 2012.  This note was paid through the issuance of common shares on December 31, 2013.

On December 31, 2013, the Company issued 12,733,499 common shares in satisfaction of $289,390 of related party debt, which included the $25,000 owed to Island Capital Management, LLC under the promissory note dated April 27, 2011.

On December 31, 2013, as a consequence of acquiring the membership interests of Endurance Exploration Group LLC, the Company assumed certain liabilities to related parties in the amount of $62,500.  This amount is comprised an advance from a related party in the amount of $2,500 and a demand promissory note in the amount of $60,000 with no stipulated maturity date, payable to Micah Eldred, dated June 19, 2012, bearing interest at 5%.   

38

Total amounts remaining due to related parties through advances and the promissory note were $62,500 and $169,150 as of December 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013 respectively.  Except for the terms stipulated in the promissory note, all other amounts advanced are unsecured, non-interest bearing and have no specific terms of repayment.

NOTE F – PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS AND REVERSE SPLIT

On May 6, 2013, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Endeavour Cooperative Partners LLC in the amount of $272,356.  This amount represents the related party debt payable to Endeavour as of that date.  The terms of the agreement allow for Endeavour to convert this debt into preferred stock at $.000172 per share.  On May 8, 2013 Endeavour filed a notice of conversion for $3,400 of its debt, in exchange for 19,736,560 of pre-reverse split preferred shares.  These shares converted to 493,414 shares of preferred stock after the reverse split.  

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

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

On December 31, 2013, the Company issued 12,733,499 common shares in satisfaction of $289,390 of related party debt.

On December 31, 2013, the Company issued 493,414 common shares as a conversion of the previously issued 493,414 preferred shares on a 1 for 1 basis.

On December 31, 2013, the Company issued 20,550,539 common shares, valued at $381,173, in conjunction with the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of Endurance Explorations Group LLC.

NOTE G – COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE

In April 2008, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with a non-U.S. investor for the purchase of 533,333 at a price of $0.42 per share, resulting in cash proceeds of $224,000. This issuance was exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act.  The Company was unable to issue these shares and at December 31, 2013 considers this common stock issuable and has recorded it in the equity section.  As a result of the 1 for 40 reverse split, the number of shares issuable has been decreased from 533,333 to 13,333 at December 31, 2013 and January 31, 2013.

39

NOTE H – INCOME TAXES

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has net operating losses of $4,940,214 since inception on January 19, 2006. The Company computes tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. The net operating loss will start to expire in the year ended January 31, 2026.  Due to discontinuing operation in June 2008 and the change in ownership, restrictions may apply.

The components of the net deferred tax asset at December 31, 2013 and December 31 , 2012 and the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate and the elected amount of the valuation allowance are indicated below:

	December 31,		December 31 ,

ITEM 9 — CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There have been no disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures from the inception of our company through the date of this Report.  Our audited consolidated financial statements have been included in this annual report in reliance upon DKM Certified Public Accountants, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, as an expert in accounting and auditing.

ITEM 9A — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (our president), we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective .

The following material weaknesses were noted:

1.

We have no audit committee and none of our Directors were considered independent. We had not adopted a policy on fraud or code of ethics.

2.

We have no financial expert on our Board of Directors who is able to detect a material misstatement.

3.

We had no processes in place for someone to review and determine financial impacts of contracts and agreements.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our president, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2013, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date.

41

The following material weaknesses were noted:

1.

We have no audit committee and none of our Directors were considered independent. We had not adopted a policy on fraud or code of ethics.

2.

We have no financial expert on our Board of Directors who is able to detect a material misstatement.

3.

We had no processes in place for someone to review and determine financial impacts of contracts and agreements.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management is in the process of establishing the necessary controls over financial reporting to address the above material weaknesses. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

He was also South Africa’s alternate Commissioner to the International Whaling Commission for two successive years.  Returning from Washington DC in 1993 Mr. de Montille was appointed Director: Asia and Australasia where he oversaw the establishment of diplomatic relations with many countries.  In 1995 Mr. de Montille was re-assigned as Acting Chief Director: Americas to oversee South Africa’s relations with the United States and Canada. He accompanied the then South African Deputy President Thabo Mbeki on several official visits to the United States initially to inaugurate the US/SA Binational Commission.  In 1996 Mr. de Montille left the South African Department of Foreign Affairs and joined a leading international business consultancy firm in Washington DC as an international business advisor and consultant. The company specialized in Japan.  

In 2001, Mr. de Montille formed his own international business consultancy company. Since then he has managed more than $1 billion in business development and structured over 100 deals for his clients. He has recently been involved in maritime and salvage matters and was the lead negotiator with the Japanese Government to salvage a World War II built submarine which sank off the African coast as well as successfully negotiating an agreement with an island government in the Indian Ocean for salvage rights for a colonial built vessel.  

Steve Saint Amour has served as a Director since January 2014.  He has been involved in the subsea industry for over twenty-eight years and is recognized as an authority in the field of aviation and marine casualty investigations. He is an active member of the International Society of Air Safety Investigators (ISASI) and the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) and routinely writes articles and conducts seminars on behalf of these and other professional organizations.

In 2009, Mr. Saint Amour and his wife, Joan Saint Amour co-founded Eclipse Group Inc. (EGI).  EGI is a marine operations service provider based in Annapolis, Maryland and provides turnkey subsea technical solutions to both commercial and government customers worldwide. EGI holds several multi-year contracts and subcontracts with the U.S. Navy, National Oceanographic Atmospheric Agency (NOAA) and several international commercial companies based both in the U.S. and abroad.

In 1999, Mr. Saint Amour accepted the position of Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) Operations and Sales Manager at Phoenix International, Inc., an underwater services company based in Crystal City, VA.

Mr. Saint Amour was tasked with establishment of Phoenix International’s deep-water ROV division whose accomplishments were instrumental in Phoenix award of the U.S. Navy’s worldwide search and recovery contract in 2001.

While at Phoenix, Mr. Saint Amour initiated, and managed the design, engineering, build and operation of nine ROV systems including Phoenix’s Remora, Medusa and XBot ROV systems. These systems routinely conducted operations worldwide for search and recovery, telecommunications, oil and gas, science and film projects.

These systems were built to operate in 6,000 meters water depth and have attained an impressive track record of high profile operations over the last eleven years, including:

2012 – Search and Recovery of a Turkish AF F-4

“Ghosts of the Abyss” produced by IMAX and directed by James Cameron.

“Last Mysteries of the Titanic” produced by Discovery Channel and directed by James Cameron.

“Search for the USS Indianapolis” produced by Discovery Channel.

Term of Office

Our directors are appointed for one year terms to hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our executive officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and hold office pursuant to employment agreements or until removed by the board.

45

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between or among the directors or executive officers.

Director Independence

The Board had no independent Directors during 2013.  

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

During the past ten years there are no events that occurred related to an involvement in legal proceedings that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any of our directors, persons nominated to become directors or executive officers.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a Code of Ethics within the meaning of Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Code of Ethics is required that applies to directors and senior officers, such as the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller, and persons performing similar functions. We expect to adopt a Code of Ethics in the next twelve months.

Nominations for Directors

We do not have a nominating committee. The Board of Directors, sitting as a Board, selects individuals to stand for election as members of the Board. Since the Board of Directors does not include a majority of independent directors, the decision of the Board as to director nominees is made by persons who have an interest in the outcome of the determination.  The Board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, not less than 90 days prior to the next annual Board of Directors’ meeting at which the slate of Board nominees is adopted, the Board will accept written submissions of proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee’s qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the shareholder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of shareholders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the shareholder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee’s qualifications to serve on the Board of Directors, as well as a list of references.

The Board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing Board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the Board reviews the individual’s experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the Board believes it to be appropriate, Board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of management’s slate of director nominees submitted to shareholders for election to the Board.

Among the factors that the Board considers when evaluating proposed nominees are their knowledge of, and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The Board may request additional information from the candidate prior to reaching a determination. The Board is under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so.

46

Audit Committee

The functions of an audit committee are currently carried out by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as a Director and to be a member of an audit committee or otherwise perform audit committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance Reporting

As we do not have a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten-percent (10%) of our common stock, are not required to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership on Forms 4 and 5, with the SEC.

There are no arrangements or plans under which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers.

Compensation Committee

We currently do not have a compensation committee of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors as a whole determines executive compensation.

ITEM 12—SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following tables set forth information concerning the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock with respect to stockholders who were known by us to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock as of March 31, 2014, and our officers and directors, individually and as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the beneficial owner has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares of common stock.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

49

ITEM 13 – CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

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

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

·

there was very minimal trading activity in our stock,

·

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

·

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

On May 8, 2013, Endeavour filed a notice of conversion for $3,400 of its debt, in exchange for 19,736,560 of pre-reverse split preferred shares.  These shares converted to 493,414 shares of preferred stock after the reverse split, and were converted into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis on December 31, 2013.  

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

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

50

On December 31, 2013, as a consequence of acquiring the membership interests of Endurance LLC, we assumed a liability of Endurance LLC to Micah Eldred under a demand promissory note, dated June 19, 2012, in the original principal amount of $60,000, bearing interest at 5%.  The note has no stipulated maturity date, and the balance due under the note at December 31, 201 2 and December 31, 2013, including accrued interest, was $61, 625 and $64,625, respectively.

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

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

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

Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions

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

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

  

Director Independence

The Board had no independent Directors during 2013.
