SOVEREIGN EXPLORATION ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Sovereign Exploration Associates International, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that are expected for the year ending June 30, 2008. The information contained in this Form 10-QSB should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements filed as part of the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2007.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $20,924,587 as of March 31, 2008. The Company’s subsidiaries have capitalized all of their ocean exploration and archaeologically sensitive recoveries of artifacts, treasure trove and/or cargo from shipwrecks costs to-date. As of March 31, 2008, Lavelle Holdings, Inc. has ceased operations subject to the review by the Company’s management to determine its business strategy going forward, as it relates to the business of Lavelle Holdings, Inc. The Company provided for the allowance for bad debts of $93,728, however, there were no other reserves provided for as of March 31, 2008 as they relate to Lavelle Holdings, Inc. The Company plans to obtain additional financing through the sale of publicly traded stock, limited liability company member units of its subsidiaries and/or debt financing. There is no assurance these efforts will be successful. The Company has received extensions of the due dates for payments on the demand notes payable as of March 31, 2008. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classifications of reported asset amounts or the amounts of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, as presented herein, are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting under the principles of consolidation consisting of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company's subsidiaries and the related equity ownership are as follows:

Historic Discoveries, Inc.

Historic Discoveries is the Company's primary subsidiary and is wholly-owned by the Company. The Company acquired Historic Discoveries in connection with the change in control on October 17, 2005, and it has since made additional investments in Historic Discoveries. Historic Discoveries has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Artifact Recovery & Conservation Inc. ("ARC") and Sea Research, Inc. ("SRI").

The Company and Historic Discoveries had agreed to distribute 20% of the net profits arising out of the exploitation of permits, licenses, finder fees rights, contracts and other rights (collectively, "permits") held by ARC to its former corporate parent, Sovereign Marine Explorations, Inc. ("SME"), and to distribute 20% of the net profits arising out of the exploitation of permits held by SRI to its former corporate parent, Sea Hunt, Inc. ("Sea Hunt").

SOVEREIGN EXPLORATION ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)


On May 19, 2007, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for this 20% net profits participation agreement. The Convertible Preferred Stock carries a 4 to1 conversion feature into 40,000,000 common shares of the Company.

Artifact Recovery & Conservation, Inc.

ARC holds licenses for some of the Company’s most promising sites. ARC has already recovered substantial artifacts from Le Chameau, a French ship lost off Cape Lorembec, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, on August 27, 1725. The Chameau carried extensive ladings of specie, military supplies, trade goods, and commercially-consigned freight, as well as the personal effects of wealthy passengers. ARC submitted artifacts from the Chameau and other ships to the Nova Scotia government for artifact selection in 2005, and the selection process was completed in March 2006.

ARC has also conducted extensive exploratory efforts in Fantome Cove, near Prospect, Nova Scotia. The H.M.S. Fantome and accompanying ships are believed to have been lost in Fantome Cove on November 24, 1814. The Fantome is particularly historically significant, as it played a role in the War of 1812 and potentially could have been carrying plunder from the sacking of Washington, DC in August 1814. ARC's exploratory efforts have confirmed that it has located at least two historical shipwrecks, although it has not specifically confirmed that either wreck is that of the Fantome. During its most recent reconnaissance efforts in late summer, 2006, ARC identified two very large concretion fields, and its divers observed flatware, artifacts, ship fittings, and thousands of coins in the concretions. Because Fantome Cove is in Canadian waters but may involve British ships and American plunder, any shipwrecks located in Fantome Cove may be subject to competing claims. The United Kingdom has filed a formal notice on the H.M.S. Fantome that has caused a delay in the Company’s plans for a recovery in Fantome Cove.

ARC was notified on August 31, 2006, its application for a Class B recovery permit for the Fantome Cove treasure trove site has not been approved. A Class B permit is required before ARC can make any substantial recoveries from the site. The Nova Scotia Department of Tourism, Culture & Heritage has recommended that ARC and Le Chameau Explorations Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), secure permission from the United Kingdom. The Company’s management and counsel believe that the admiralty and treaty laws governing the site will substantiate ARC's and Le Chameau Explorations Limited's Interest as license holder. As of March 31, 2008, the Company is arranging meetings with representatives from the United Kingdom and is waiting for Class B permit approval.

Sea Research, Inc.

SRI holds the rights to seven sites, several of which have multiple ships. The wrecked ships are believed to have contained diverse cargoes, including money, bullion, religious artifacts, jewelry, and other personal items. SRI also owns an exploratory vessel, the Sea Quest, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sea Quest, Inc.

Sovereign Exploration Associates International of Spain, Inc.

Sovereign Exploration Associates International of Spain, Inc. ("SEAI - Spain"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was acquired in November 2005 from unrelated parties in exchange for $800,000 of convertible debentures. The debentures were due on November 15, 2006, with accrued interest at a rate of 6% per annum. The Company may, at any time prior to November 15, 2006, convert the principal amount of the debentures into common stock of the Company at the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the ten business days prior to the conversion date. The debenture holders may, at any time after November 15, 2006, convert the principal amount of the debenture into common stock of the Company at the average closing price of the Company's common stock for the ten business days prior to the conversion date. SEAI - Spain has secured the finder's rights to four shipwrecks in Spain with potential historic and intrinsic value. Effective November 15, 2006, the Company converted the debentures into 848,000 (including accrued interest of $48,000) common shares of the Company at a price of $1.00 per share.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
(UNAUDITED)


Lavelle Holdings, Inc.

On June 11, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of the Lavelle Holdings, Inc., a company based in Texas, for consideration of $300,000 cash at closing plus a cash amount equal to five (5) times the net profit of Lavelle Holdings, Inc., if any, for a one (1) year period beginning on or the date that is six (6) months after the closing date. This amount will be paid in cash and/or stock on or before nineteen (19) months following the closing date. Management is unable to determine the amount of this contingent liability as of the balance sheet date of March 31, 2008. If the Company becomes insolvent during the nineteen (19) months following the closing date, the selling shareholders have the right of first refusal to repurchase the purchased stock from the Company.

In consideration for certain rights to purchase common stock of Lavelle Holdings, Inc. the Company paid $225,000, in cash, to the rights holders, at closing. The total cash paid for this acquisition at closing on June 11, 2007 was $525,000. Lavelle Holdings, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

As of March 31, 2008, Lavelle Holdings, Inc. has ceased operations subject to the review by the Company’s management to determine its business strategy going forward, as it relates to the business of Lavelle Holdings, Inc. The Company provided for the allowance for bad debts of $93,728, however, there were no other reserves provided for as of March 31, 2008 as they relate to Lavelle Holdings, Inc. LeChameau Explorations Limited

On June 13, 2007, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of LeChameau Explorations Limited, a company based in Nova Scotia, for total consideration of USD $274,009. The payment for the stock is in the form of a note agreement, which is collateralized by the common stock of the Company. The note is due June 13, 2008. If the Company defaults, the note is convertible to the Company’s common stock at a rate of 1.25 times the outstanding liability as of its due date valued at the ten day average of the stock price prior to the conversion date. Under this acquisition, the Company now owns twenty-five licenses under the Nova Scotia Treasure Trove Act. LeChameau Explorations Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Investments
 
The Company accounts for investments, where the Company holds from 20% up to 50%, in the common stock, or membership interest, of an entity, using the equity method. The investment is initially recorded at cost and the carrying amount is adjusted to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of acquisition. The amount of the adjustment is included in the determination of net income or loss of the Company in the period of the adjustment. Any dividends received from the investee reduce the carrying value of the investment. 

Gulf Coast Records, LLC

The investment (a 49% minority interest) and note receivable in Gulf Coast Records, LLC was acquired as part of the Exchange Agreement dated October 17, 2005. In the year ended June 30, 2006, while reporting under the 1940 Act as a business development company, the Board of Directors agreed with management’s assessment to write this investment down to zero based on the information received from the management of Gulf Coast Records, LLC. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the investment in and note receivable to Gulf Coast are being carried at a zero value, which is the lower of cost or market.

Reds Caribbean

The investment (a 30% minority interest) in Reds Caribbean was acquired in the stock purchase agreement with the shareholders of Lavelle Holdings, Inc. on June 11, 2007. As of March 31, 2008, the Company is recording this investment at its cost of $51,962. The Company owns a 30% equity interest in Reds Caribbean.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue using the accrual method of accounting wherein revenue is recognized when earned and expenses and costs are recognized when incurred.

Stock Subscription Receivable

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company sold 380,000 shares of common stock for proceeds of $40,000. As of March 31, 2008, $30,000 was due from this shareholder.

Allowance for Bad Debts

As of March 31, 2008, the allowance for bad debts was $93,728. Management of the Company reviews the billing and collection activity on a regular basis and provides for an allowance for bad debts based on its expectations for cash collections. The $93,728 in accounts receivable and the allowance for bad debts of $93,728 were all for Lavelle Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Economic Dependence

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Lavelle Holdings, Inc, which was acquired by the Company in June 2007, has economic dependence for its revenue on less than ten (10) customers and they have less than ten (10) vendors with whom they conduct their business.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued payroll and other expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The amount shown for notes payable also approximates fair value because the current interest rates offered to the Company for debt of similar maturities are substantially the same.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers cash equivalents to be all highly liquid securities with an original maturity date of three months or less.

Advertising costs

For the nine month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company did not incur any advertising costs.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (USD). For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred a currency translation adjustment of $11,799 and $0, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in May 2007, the FASB published FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48" ("FSP FIN 48-1"). FSP FIN 48-1 is an amendment to FIN 48. It clarifies how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective upon the initial adoption of FIN 48. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have an effect on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 ("FAS 157"), Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Prior to FAS 157, there were different definitions of fair value and limited guidance for applying those definitions in GAAP. Moreover, that guidance was dispersed among the many accounting pronouncements that require fair Value measurements. Differences in that guidance created inconsistencies that added to the complexity in applying GAAP. The changes to current practice resulting from the application of FAS 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

Management expects that none of the new accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 4 - FIXED ASSETS

Fixed assets are stated at cost. The cost of equipment is charged against income over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method of depreciation. Repairs and maintenance which are considered betterments and do not extend the useful life of equipment are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and the resulting profit and loss are reflected in income.

NOTE 5 – CAPITALIZED COSTS

As of March 31, 2008, the Company accounted for its ocean exploration and archaeologically sensitive recoveries of artifacts, treasure trove and/or cargo from shipwrecks costs incurred to-date as capitalized costs. At least on a quarterly basis, management of the Company reviews the recoverability of each of the sites that the Company has the rights to and determines whether costs need to be expensed or continued to be capitalized.

NOTE 7 - STOCK ISSUED FOR SERVICES

During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company issued 1,001,655 shares of common stock for services rendered on behalf of the Company with a value of $320,530, which was charged to operations. The Company did not issue any stock for services during the nine months ended March 31, 2007.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

The Company has approximately $1,380,448 in deferred tax assets at March 31, 2008, resulting from net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income through 2027. A valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset these deferred tax assets because the future realization of the related income tax benefits is uncertain.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 the difference between the tax provision at the statutory federal income tax rate and the tax provision attributable to loss before income taxes is as follows (in percentages):

Statutory federal income tax rate

NOTE 10 - AGREEMENTS

Prior to the Exchange Agreement of October 17, 2005, as on file with the SEC, there was a Revenue Agreement as outlined in Exhibit B of the Exchange Agreement, that requires 20% revenue participation payable to the original owners of the permits from the net recovery of the shipwrecks for the permits that have been assigned to the subsidiaries of one of the Company's subsidiaries, Historic Discoveries, Inc. The 20% revenue participation allows Historic Discoveries, Inc. to defer permit transfer fees and align site permit cost with revenue generation, eliminating the exposure associated with sites that do not produce a material number of artifacts. Historic Discoveries, Inc. was only required to pay the 20% revenue participation when sites produce net revenue. The 20% revenue participation also provides Historic Discoveries, Inc. the right of first refusal on future sites, creating a mechanism for Historic Discoveries, Inc. and its operating companies to build site inventory while deferring the associated cost and reducing financial risk. The Revenue Agreement with the original owners was executed prior to October 17, 2005. The original owners of these permits are the beneficial owners of the controlling interest in the stock received in the Exchange Agreement. Additionally, officers and directors of the Company hold certain executive positions in Historic Discoveries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company and Historic Discoveries had agreed to distribute 20% of the net profits arising out of the exploitation of permits, licenses, finder fees rights, contracts and other rights (collectively, "permits") held by ARC to its former corporate parent, Sovereign Marine Explorations, Inc. ("SME"), and to distribute 20% of the net profits arising out of the exploitation of permits held by SRI to its former corporate parent, Sea Hunt, Inc. ("Sea Hunt"). On May 19, 2007, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for this 20% net profits participation agreement. The stock carries a 4 to1 conversion feature which allows the holders to convert into 40,000,000 common shares of the Company.

NOTE 11 - SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

Effective June 30, 2006, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and General Release (the “Settlement Agreement") with Former Management, KMA Capital Partners, Inc., and CF Holdings, LLC (collectively, the "Settlement Agreement Parties") in order to reach a comprehensive resolution of their disputes. The Settlement Agreement provides that the Settlement Agreement Parties release all claims that they may have against the Company, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, partners, agents, representatives, and attorneys (collectively, "affiliated parties") and that the Company releases all claims it may have against the Settlement Agreement Parties and their respective affiliated parties. On December 26, 2006, 910,000 common shares were issued pursuant to the Settlement Agreement effective June 30, 2006. These 910,000 common shares are subject to a Leak-Out Agreement and are restricted under Rule 144.

NOTE 12 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND ISSUANCE OF STOCK

As of March 31, 2008, the authorized capital of the Company was 250,000,000,000 shares of common stock (with voting rights), par value $.001. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company issued 1,001,655 and zero shares of common stock, respectively.

NOTE 13 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash. As of March 31, 2008, the Company maintains its cash accounts with financial institutions located in Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas and Nova Scotia.

NOTE 17 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In a matter related to KMA Capital Partners Ltd, James Jenkins and Charles Giannetto, filed as KMA Capital Partners Ltd., v. Sovereign Exploration Association, Inc., et al, in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, in and for Orange County, Florida, the Company claims that KMA Capital Partners Ltd, James Jenkins and Charles Giannetto are in breach of a “Leak Out Agreement”, which restricts the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, traded as SVXA.OB, they are allowed to sell or transfer. As of June 30, 2006, the court entered an Order which limits Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Giannetto to selling no more than 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per trading day. As of March 31, 2008, there is no liability under this matter that requires the establishment of a liability within the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company is one of several defendants in a law suit, Patricia A. Mullican v. Sovereign Exploration Associates International, Inc., et al in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, in and for Orange County, Florida. The plaintiff in this case is seeking damages for the alleged failure to pay two (2) debentures issued by TS&B Holdings to Mr. Mullican (one for $150,000 and the other for $250,000) as well as an unpaid promissory note for $50,000 plus accrued interest on the debentures and the promissory note along with attorney fees. TS&B Holdings, Inc. subsequently became Cali Holdings, Inc., which was acquired by the Company in October 2005.

It is the Company’s position that these debts are not the Company’s responsibility, to the extent that neither the debentures nor promissory notes were disclosed at the time Cali Holdings, Inc. was acquired by the Company. There are numerous defenses which the Company will be relying upon to support its legal position that these obligations are not its responsibility. As of March 31, 2008, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not provide for any liability in the event that the Company is deemed responsible in this case.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB.

Overview

The Company was a financial service company providing financing and advisory services to small and medium-sized companies throughout the United States. Effective January 5, 2004, the Company's shareholders approved the proposal to allow the Company to elect to be treated as a business development company ("BDC") under the 1940 Act. The Company on September 22, 2006, withdrew its election to be treated as a BDC. Following the withdrawal of its election, the Company carries on a marine recovery and explorations business, which it conducts through subsidiaries and controlled companies, and will be managed so that it will not be subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act.

The increasing complexity of the business environment and applicable authoritative accounting guidance required the Company to closely monitor its accounting policies. The following is a summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies and its intended to enhance your ability to assess its financial condition and results of operation and the potential volatility due to changes in estimates.

Valuation of Investments

The Company is no longer subject to independently valuing its private investments as value is defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act as, (i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available and (ii) for all other securities and assets, fair value is determined in good faith by the board of directors.

As of March 31, 2008, the following is a list of the private companies in which the Company had an investment in and notes receivable, stated at the lower of cost or market value;

Totals

The investments are reflected at the lower of cost or market. Since there is typically no readily ascertainable market value for the investments in its portfolio, the Company valued substantially all of its investments at the lower of cost or market as determined in good faith by the board of directors pursuant to a valuation policy and consistent valuation process. Because of the inherent uncertainty in determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily ascertainable market value, the fair value of its investments determined in good faith by the board of directors may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the differences could be material.

Initially, the fair value of each such portfolio investment was based upon original cost. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires the judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment. The Board of Directors considers fair value to be the amount which the Company may reasonably expect to receive for portfolio securities when sold on the valuation date.

Gulf Coast Records, LLC

The investment (a 49% minority interest) and note receivable in Gulf Coast Records, LLC was acquired as part of the Exchange Agreement dated October 17, 2005. In the year ended June 30, 2006, while reporting under the 40 Act as a business development company, the Board of Directors agreed with management’s assessment to write this investment down to zero based on the information received from the management of Gulf Coast Records, LLC. As of March 31, 2008, the investment in and note receivable to Gulf Coast is being carried as zero, which is the lower of cost or market.

Reds Caribbean

The investment (a 30% minority interest) in Reds Caribbean was acquired in the stock purchase agreement with the shareholders of Lavelle Holdings, Inc. on June 11, 2007. As of March 31, 2008, the Company is recording this investment at its cost of $51,962. Management expects to receive additional financial information before June 30, 2008 in order to ascertain the carrying value of this investment in Red Caribbean.

3


Valuation of Loans and Debt Securities

The Company did not value its loans or debt securities above cost, but loans and debt securities were subject to fair value write-down when the asset is considered impaired with respect to the Company’s investments. As of March 31, 2008, the note receivable to Gulf Coast Records, LLC of $832,849 was considered impaired and continues to be carried as zero. The investment is Reds Caribbean was acquired in June 2007 in conjunction with the acquisition of Lavelle Holdings, which is not considered as impaired and it is being carried at its original cost.

Financial Condition
 
Comparison of operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $0, compared to $79,089 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The sales were from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Lavelle Holdings, Inc. The Company’s other subsidiaries have yet to realize any revenue from the artifacts they have recovered to-date

As of March 31, 2008, Lavelle Holdings, Inc. has ceased operations subject to the review by the Company’s management to determine its business strategy going forward, as it relates to the business of Lavelle Holdings, Inc. The Company provided for the allowance for bad debts of $93,728, however, there were no other reserves provided for as of March 31, 2008 as they relate to Lavelle Holdings, Inc.
 
Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 were $395,550, compared to $421,210 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The sales were from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Lavelle Holdings, Inc. The Company’s other subsidiaries have yet to realize any revenue from the artifacts they have recovered to-date.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $0 compared to $13,424 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was due to no revenue being realized for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $155,300 compared to $168,962 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was due to lower sales.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $474,764 compared to $558,028 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to stock issued for services for $288,530 during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Salaries and wages decreased to zero because the officers of the parent company agreed to forego salaries starting in 2007.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 were $1,074,011 compared to $1,190,757, for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to stock issued for services for $320,530 during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $41,941 compared to $75,411 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was due to additional debt financing received by the Company, which was converted to equity.
 
Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $124,080 compared to $121,136 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was due to additional debt financing received by the Company.

4


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2008, total assets increased by $629,480 or 16.2% to $4,517,981. Cash decreased by $54,994 primarily there was no realized revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2008.

Capitalized costs increased by $963,920 or 28.7% to $3,308,936, which was primarily funded by the issuance of common stock, proceeds from notes payable and proceeds from related party notes payable.

The Company does not expect its cash on hand and cash generated from operations to be adequate to meet its cash needs at its current level of operations, including the next twelve months. The Company intends to seek to raise additional funds from investors, either directly or through its subsidiaries or controlled companies, including special-purpose entities formed to conduct specific marine exploration operations. There can be no assurance that the Company’s fund-raising efforts will be successful.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company’s investment activities contain elements of risk. The portion of the Company’s investment portfolio consisting of equity or equity-linked debt securities in private companies was subject to valuation risk. Because there was typically no public market for the equity and equity-linked debt securities in which it invested, the valuation of the equity interest in the portfolio is stated at "fair value" and determined in good faith by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis in accordance with the Company's investment valuation policy. In the absence of a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of the Company’s portfolio may have differed significantly from the value that would be placed on the portfolio if a ready market for the investments existed. At times a portion of the Company’s portfolio may have included marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter market. In addition, there may have been a portion of the Company’s portfolio for which no regular trading market existed. In order to realize the full value of a security, the market must have traded in an orderly fashion or a willing purchaser must be available when a sale is to be made. Should an economic or other event occur that would not allow the markets to trade in an orderly fashion the Company may not have been able to realize the fair value of its marketable investments or other investments in a timely manner.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet investments or hedging investments.

Impact of Inflation

The Company does not believe that its business was materially affected by inflation, other than the impact inflation may have on the securities markets, the valuations of business enterprises and the relationship of such valuation to underlying earnings, all of which will influence the value of the Company's investments.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing, maintaining and enhancing these procedures. The officers are also responsible, as required by the rules established by the SEC, for the evaluation of the effectiveness of these procedures.

Based on management's evaluation (with participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that no deficiencies were identified in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting which constituted a "material weakness." Accordingly, management concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company's management does not expect that their disclosure controls or their internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

Changes in Internal Controls

The Company maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). It is the responsibility of Company’s management to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In a matter related to KMA Capital Partners Ltd, James Jenkins and Charles Giannetto, filed as KMA Capital Partners Ltd., v. Sovereign Exploration Association, Inc., et al, in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, in and for Orange County, Florida, the Company claims that KMA Capital Partners Ltd, James Jenkins and Charles Giannetto are in breach of a “Leak Out Agreement”, which restricts the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, traded as SVXA.OB, they are allowed to sell or transfer. As of June 30, 2006, the court entered an Order which limits Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Giannetto to selling no more than 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock per trading day. As of March 31, 2008, there is no liability under this matter that requires the establishment of a liability within the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company is one of several defendants in a law suit, Patricia A. Mullican v. Sovereign Exploration Associates International, Inc., et al in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit, in and for Orange County, Florida. The plaintiff in this case is seeking damages for the alleged failure to pay two (2) debentures issued by TS&B Holdings to Mr. Mullican (one for $150,000 and the other for $250,000) as well as an unpaid promissory note for $50,000 plus accrued interest on the debentures and the promissory note along with attorney fees. TS&B Holdings, Inc. subsequently became Cali Holdings, Inc., which was acquired by the Company in October 2005.

It is the Company’s position that these debts are not its responsibility, to the extent that neither the debentures nor promissory notes were disclosed at the time Cali Holdings, Inc. was acquired by the Company. There are numerous defenses which the Company will be relying upon to support its legal position that these obligations are not its responsibility. As of March 31, 2008, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not provide for any liability in the event that the Company is deemed responsible in this case.
