Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Odyssey,” “us,” “we” or “our”) is engaged in deep-ocean exploration. Our innovative techniques are currently applied to mineral exploration and other marine survey and contracted services. Our corporate headquarters are in Tampa, Florida. Going Concern Consideration We have experienced several years of net losses and may continue to do so. Our ability to generate net income or positive cash flows for the following twelve months is dependent upon financings, our success in developing and monetizing our interests in mineral exploration entities, generating income from contracted services or collecting on amounts owed to us. Our 2024 business plan requires us to generate new cash inflows to effectively allow us to perform our planned projects. We plan to generate new cash inflows through the monetization of our receivables and equity stakes in seabed mineral companies, financings, syndications or other partnership opportunities. If cash inflow ever becomes insufficient to meet our desired projected business plan requirements, we would be required to follow a contingency business plan that is based on curtailed expenses and fewer cash requirements. On December 1, 2023, we entered into the December 2023 Note Purchase Agreement with institutional investors pursuant to which we issued and sold to the investors the December 2023 Notes in the principal amount of up to $6.0 million and the December 2023 Warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. We issued December 2023 Notes in the aggregate amount of $3.75 million and related warrants on December 1, 2023, and December 2023 Notes in the aggregate amount of $2.25 million and related warrants on December 28, 2023. On May 3, 2024, we received a payment of approximately $9.4 million arising from a residual economic interest in a salvaged shipwreck. The balance of the proceeds from the December 2023 Notes and a portion of the proceeds received in May 2024, together with other anticipated cash inflows, are expected to provide operating funds through at least the third quarter of 2024. Our consolidated non-restricted cash balance at December 31, 2023 was $4.0 million. We have a working capital deficit at December 31, 2023 of $26.6 million. The total consolidated book value of our assets was approximately $22.8 million at December 31, 2023, which includes cash of $4.0 million. The fair market value of these assets may differ from their net carrying book value. The factors noted above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
