Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery, Inc.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2024
Note 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery, Inc (“TSR” or the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 24, 2016 as Beliss Corp. The Company changed its name to Treasure & Shipwreck Recovery Inc. on June 26, 2019.
TSR formed TSR Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, on August 22, 2019 as the Company’s operating vehicle to focus on the recovery of sunken treasure from historic shipwrecks. The Company was originally focused on the development of high impact internet marketing, search engine optimization (“SEO”) software and techniques, and the development of digital properties (collectively “Internet Marketing”).
On April 6, 2020, TSR formed TSR Media Group, Inc. (“TSR Media”), a wholly owned subsidiary, in order to develop various digital media properties. TSR Media is in the process of developing, through an outside app developer, a treasure search and salvage gaming app.
Note 2 – GOING CONCERN
These
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize
its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred net losses
since inception, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company had no
cash at January 31, 2024. Management’s plans include raising capital through the equity markets to fund operations and, eventually,
the generation of revenue through its business. The Company does not expect to generate any significant revenues for the foreseeable
future. At January 31, 2024, the Company had net working capital deficit of $
Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock is unknown. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; however, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classifications of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
This summary of significant accounting policies of TSR is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s year-end is April 30.
8
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of TSR Holdings, Inc. and TSR Media, which are wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Significant estimates for the nine month periods ended January 31, 2024 and 2023 include the useful life of fixed assets, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and fair value of non cash equity transactions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
There
were no cash equivalents at January 31, 2024 and April 30, 2023. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration
of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(“FDIC”) up to $
Research and Development Expenses
Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer, Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract, Step 3: Determine the transaction price, Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Specifically, Section 606-10-50 requires an entity to provide information about: a. Revenue recognized from contracts with customers, including the disaggregation of revenue into appropriate categories; b. Contract balances, including the opening and closing balances of receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities; c. Performance obligations, including when the entity typically satisfies its performance obligations and the transaction price that is allocated to the remaining performance obligations in a contract; and d. Significant judgments, and changes in judgments, made in applying the requirements to those contracts.
The Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining a client contract.
Licensing Revenue
The Company recognizes licensing revenue under ASC 606-10-55-59. In order to determine whether the Company’s promise to provide a right to access or to use its intellectual property, the Company should consider the nature of the intellectual property to which the customer will have rights. Intellectual property is either:
| a. | Functional intellectual property. Intellectual property that has significant standalone functionality (for example, the ability to process a transaction, perform a function or task, or be played or aired). Functional intellectual property derives a substantial portion of its utility (that is, its ability to provide benefit or value) from its significant standalone functionality. |
| b. | Symbolic intellectual property. Intellectual property that is not functional intellectual property (that is, intellectual property that does not have significant standalone functionality). Because symbolic intellectual property does not have significant standalone functionality, substantially all of the utility of symbolic intellectual property is derived from its association with the entity’s past or ongoing activities, including its ordinary business activities. |
Intellectual property that has significant standalone functionality is functional IP. Functional IP is a right to use IP because the IP has standalone functionality and the customer can use the IP as it exists at a point in time.
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) ASC 260-10, which provides for the calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity.
9
The potentially dilutive common stock equivalents for the periods ended January 31, 2024 and 2023 were excluded from the dilutive loss per share calculation as they would be antidilutive due to the net loss. As of January 31, 2024 and 2023, there were approximately and shares of common stock underlying our outstanding convertible notes payable and warrants, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts payable, short term loans, and the Company’s related party loan from a shareholder approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Gains and losses upon disposition are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the period of disposition. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expenses as incurred. Currently the Company’s only assets are a diving vessel and a magnetometer which were purchased in fiscal year 2020 and are being depreciated over three to twelve year useful lives.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, the Company uses market quotes, if available or an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether or not the asset values are recoverable. Identified intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Stock Based Compensation to Employees and Service Providers
The Company recognizes all share-based payments to employees and service providers, including grants of employee stock options, as compensation expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) or immediately if the share-based payments vest immediately.
Convertible Debentures
The Company adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity on May 1, 2022. ASU 2020-06 simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments and its application of the derivatives scope exception for contracts in its own equity. Additionally, ASU 2020-06 removes the requirements for accounting for beneficial conversion features. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 utilizing the modified retrospective method, which resulted in an immaterial impact to the Company.
Customer Deposits
Customer
deposits discloses an amount paid by a customer prior to the Company providing it with goods or services. The Company has an obligation
to provide the goods or services to the customer or to return the money. The Company had $
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
All other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future condensed consolidated financial statements.

Description of Business
Treasure Shipwreck & Recovery, Inc. (“TSR”, “us,” “we,” the “Company”) is focused, through its wholly owned subsidiary TSR Holdings, Inc., on the exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks. The Company has acquired various assets including a research vessel and specialized sensing equipment to be utilized to attempt to locate and eventually recover artifacts and treasure from historic shipwrecks, generally from the colonial era. The Company has acquired the intellectual property rights in a purchase agreement for the naming, trademark and use rights of Galleon Quest, from a third party to be used on Games and Apps, and merchandising of products.
Results of operations
We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
We will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities. However, there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. The Company had $0 cash as of January 31, 2024.

We qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.
For example, smaller reporting companies are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K or the auditor attestation of internal controls over financial reporting.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of the Company’s common shares in order to continue to fund business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing shareholders. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve any additional sales of equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned operations. Future financing activities involving the sale of common stock under subscription agreements or entering into convertible promissory note agreements may cause substantial dilution to current shareholders. The Company currently has an active Reg-A for a financial raise.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Cash Requirements
As of the date of this report, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to continue maintaining a reporting status. At January 31, 2024, the Company had $0 cash and a working capital deficit of $1,015,131. The Company is in immediate need of further working capital and is seeking options, with respect to financing, in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof.
The Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. The report of our independent auditors for the year ended April 30, 2023 raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. If the Company is not able to continue as a going concern, it is highly likely that all capital invested in the Company will be lost.
Management believes that current trends toward lower capital investment in start-up companies pose the most significant challenge to the Company’s success over the next year and in future years. Additionally, the Company will have to meet all the financial disclosure and reporting requirements associated with being a publicly reporting company. The Company’s management will have to spend additional time on policies and procedures to make sure it is compliant with various regulatory requirements, especially that of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This additional corporate governance time required of management could limit the amount of time management has to implement its business plan and impede the speed of its operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Responsibility for Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting. The Company’s controls over financial reporting are designed under the supervision of the Company’s President and Principal Financial Officer to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of January 31, 2024. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our financial disclosure controls and procedures were not effective so as to timely record, process, summarize and reporting of financial information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and review process, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of January 31, 2024, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and based on the criteria for effective internal control described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (as revised). Based on our evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective so as to timely record, process, summarize and reporting of financial information required to be included on our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. However, as a result of our evaluation and review process, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
The management including its Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures, or its internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
The Company has limited resources and as a result, a material weakness in financial reporting currently exists, because of our limited resources and personnel, including those described below.
| * | The Company has an insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual condensed consolidated financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. | |
| * | We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions. | |
| * | We do not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is managements view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent audit committee financial expert is an important entity-level control over the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |
A material weakness is a deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) auditing standard 5) or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has determined that a material weakness exists due to a lack of segregation of duties, resulting from the Company’s limited resources and personnel.
18
Remediation Efforts to Address Deficiencies in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As a result of these findings, management, upon obtaining sufficient capital and operations, intends to take practical, cost-effective steps in implementing internal controls, including the possible remedial measures set forth below. As of January 31, 2024, we did not have sufficient capital and/or operations to implement any of the remedial measures described below.
| * | Assessing the current duties of existing personnel and consultants, assigning additional duties to existing personnel and consultants, and, in a cost effective manner, potentially hiring additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements to allow for proper segregation of duties, as well as additional resources for control documentation. | |
| * | Assessing the duties of the existing officers of the Company and, in a cost effective manner, possibly promote or hire additional personnel to diversify duties and responsibilities of such executive officers. | |
| * | Board to review and make recommendations to shareholders concerning the composition of the Board of Directors, with particular focus on issues of independence. The Board of Directors will consider nominating an audit committee and audit committee financial expert, which may or may not consist of independent members. | |
| * | Interviewing and potentially hiring outside consultants that are experts in designing internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (as revised). |
This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
(b) Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company has not made any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine month period ended January 31, 2024.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On November 9, 2019, the Company filed a declaratory action in the Sixth Judicial Circuit Court for Pinellas County, Florida for the purpose of obtaining a judicial declaratory judgment as to the Company’s status under the Securities laws as to whether the Company has ever been a “Shell” Company under the Securities Laws. Pursuant to Chapter 86 of the Florida Statutes the Court will render a decision whether the Company had ever met the definition of being a shell company under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, so that all shareholders would be able to utilize Rule 144, and otherwise be able to enjoy complete ownership and sale of such shares. Such matter is being amended to supply exhibits in a new filing. With a change in designation from being a “shell risk” by OTC Markets, such matter in court was no longer deemed necessary.
In May of 2023, TSR was sued in county court over a contract by the firm of Delmar which contends that TSR did not follow through on a contract for their services related to its regulation A offering in 2022. The Company has defended and is defending such on the basis that Del Mar never performed on its obligations and therefore was discharged on the contract. Such matter is pending motions by TSR in the county court. Such lawsuit is seeking $20,000 by Delmar.
