NOTE D – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Based on the economic substance of our business transactions with Monaco Financial, LLC, we consider Monaco to be an affiliated company, thus a related party. We do not own any financial interest in Monaco. We had accounts receivable from Monaco and related affiliates at March 31, 2019 of

$614,123

and at December 31, 2018 of

$612,498.

We had general operating payables owe to Monaco at March 31, 2019 of

$213,776

and at December 31, 2018 of

$233,855.

See NOTE H for further debt arrangements between the entities. We are currently performing marine shipwreck search and recovery services for this related party and recognized 2019 year to date revenue of approximately

$0.5 million.

Until October 2018, we leased our corporate office space on an annually renewable basis from Monaco at

$20,080

per month; however, the building in which we lease this space was sold during October 2018 to a non-affiliate.

During 2018 we entered into a services agreement with and continue to provide services to a deep-sea mineral exploration company, CIC, LLC, that was organized and is majority owned and controlled by Greg Stemm, the Chairman of the Board for Odyssey. Mr. Stemm’s involvement with this company was disclosed to, and approved by, the Odyssey Board of Directors and legal counsel pursuant to the terms of his consulting agreement. We are providing these services pursuant to a Master Services Agreement which provides for back office services in exchange for a recurring monthly fee as well as other mineral related services on a cost-plus profit basis and will be compensated for these services with a combination of cash and equity in the company. For the 2019 year to date, we invoiced the company a total of

$227,492

which was for back office technical and support services. Included in this amount is

$220,492

which shall be deemed as consideration for equity units in the company. Billings related to cash amounted to

$7,000

for the same period. We have the option to accept equity in lieu of the amount expected to be paid in cash. See NOTE C for related accounts receivable at March 31, 2019 and NOTE E for our investment in an unconsolidated entity.
