NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Basis
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, needed to fairly present the financial results for these periods. Additionally, these condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. The results for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, (b) the financial position at September 30, 2021, and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
We use the accrual basis of accounting and U.S. GAAP and all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company has a fiscal year-end of March 31st.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “Ammo”, “we”, “us”, “our,” or the “Company” are to AMMO, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMMO, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements include the valuation of allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred tax assets, inventories, useful lives of assets, intangible assets, and stock-based compensation.

License Agreements
We are a party to a license agreement with Jesse James, a well-known motorcycle designer, and Jesse James Firearms (“JJF”), a Texas limited liability company. The license agreement grants us the exclusive worldwide rights through October 15, 2021 to Mr. James’ image rights and trademarks associated with him in connection with the marketing, promotion, advertising, sale, and commercial exploitation of Jesse James Branded Products. We agreed to pay Mr. James royalty fees on the sale of ammunition and non-ammunition Branded Products and to reimburse him for any out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable travel expenses.
We are a party to a license agreement with Jeff Rann, a well-known wild game hunter and spokesman for the firearm and ammunition industries. The license agreement grants us through February 2022 the exclusive worldwide rights to Mr. Rann’s image rights and trademarks associated with him in connection with the marketing, promotion, advertising, sale, and commercial exploitation of all Jeff Rann Branded Products. We agreed to pay Mr. Rann royalty fees on the sale of ammunition and non-ammunition Branded Products and to reimburse him for any out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable travel expenses.
Patents
On September 28, 2017, AMMO Technologies Inc. (“ATI”), an Arizona corporation, which is 100% owned by us, merged with Hallam, Inc, a Texas corporation, with ATI being the survivor. The primary asset of Hallam, Inc. was an exclusive license to produce projectiles and ammunition using the Hybrid Luminescence Ammunition Technology under patent U.S. 8,402,896 B1 with a publication date of March 26, 2013 owned by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The license was formally amended and assigned to AMMO Technologies Inc. pursuant to an Assignment and First Amendment to Exclusive License Agreement. Assumption Agreement dated to be effective as of August 22, 2017, the Merger closing date. This asset will be amortized from September 2017, the first full month of the acquired rights, through October 29, 2028.
Under
the terms of the Exclusive License Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly royalty to the patent holder, based on a
$
per unit basis for each round of ammunition sold that incorporates this patented technology through October 29, 2028. For the six
months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized royalty expenses of $

AMMO, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On October 5, 2018, we completed the acquisition of SW Kenetics Inc. ATI succeeded all of the assets of SW Kenetics, Inc. and assumed all of the liabilities.
The primary asset of SW Kenetics Inc. was a pending patent for modular projectiles. All rights to patent pending application were assigned and transferred to AMMO Technologies, Inc. pursuant to Intellectual Property Rights Agreement on September 27, 2018.
We intend to continue building our patent portfolio to protect our proprietary technologies and processes, and will file new applications where appropriate to preserve our rights to manufacture and sell our branded lines of ammunition.
Other Intangible Assets
On March 15, 2019, Enlight Group II, LLC d/b/a Jagemann Munition Components, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMMO, Inc., completed its acquisition of assets of Jagemann Stamping Company’s ammunition casing manufacturing and sales operations pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement. The intangible assets acquired include a tradename, customer relationships, and intellectual property.
On April 30, 2021, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, SpeedLight Group I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Gemini Direct Investments, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Whereby SpeedLight Group I, LLC merged with and into Gemini Direct Investments, LLC, with SpeedLight Group I, LLC surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. At the time of the Merger, Gemini Direct Investments, LLC had nine (9) subsidiaries, all of which are related to Gemini’s ownership of Gunbroker.com, an online auction marketplace dedicated to firearms, hunting, shooting, and related products. The intangible assets acquired include a tradename, customer relationships, intellectual property, software and domain names.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We
continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable.
When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the
carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows
is less than the carrying amount of those assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the
fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from the production and sale of ammunition, and marketplace fee revenue, which includes auction revenue, payment processing revenue, and shipping income. We recognize revenue according to Accounting Standard Codification - Revenue from Contract with Customers (“ASC 606”). When the customer obtains control over the promised goods or services, we record revenue in the amount of consideration that we can expect to receive in exchange for those goods and services. We apply the following five-step model to determine revenue recognition:
| ● | Identification of a contract with a customer | |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contact | |
| ● | determination of the transaction price | |
| ● | allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance allocation | |
| ● | recognition of revenue when performance obligations are satisfied |
| 11 |
AMMO, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We only apply the five-step model when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception and once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. Our contracts contain a single performance obligation and the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. We recognize as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Accordingly, we recognize revenues (net) when the customer obtains control of our product, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product or the performance of the service. In the year ended March 31, 2021, we began accepting contract liabilities or deferred revenue. We included Deferred Revenue in our Accrued Liabilities. We will recognize revenue when the performance obligation is met.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s customers that comprised more than ten percent (10%) of total revenues and accounts receivable were as follows:

Disaggregated Revenue Information
The following table represent a disaggregation of revenue from customers by category. We attribute net sales to categories by product or services types; ammunition, ammunition casings, and marketplace fees. The Company notes that revenue recognition processes are consistent between product and service type, however, the amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows may vary by each product type due to the customers of each product and service type.

Ammunition products are sold through “Big Box” retailers, manufacturers, local ammunition stores, and shooting range operators. We also sell directly to customers online. In contrast, our ammunition casings products are sold to manufacturers. Marketplace fees are generated through our Gunbroker.com online auction marketplace.
Advertising Costs
We
expense advertising costs as they are incurred in selling and marketing expenses of operating expenses. Marketplace advertising costs
are expenses as they are incurred in cost of revenues. We incurred advertising expenses of $
Inventories
We state inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine cost using the average cost method. Our inventory consists of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods. Cost of inventory includes cost of parts, labor, quality control, and all other costs incurred to bring our inventories to condition ready to be sold. We periodically evaluate and adjust inventories for obsolescence. These provisions are based on our best estimates. At September 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, we conducted a full analysis of inventory on hand and expensed all inventory not currently in use, or for which there was no future demand.
Research and Development
To date, we have expensed all costs associated with developing our product specifications, manufacturing procedures, and products through our cost of products sold, as this work was done by the same employees who produced the finished product. We anticipate that it may become necessary to reclassify research and development costs into our operating expenditures for reporting purposes as we begin to develop new technologies and lines of ammunition.

Property and Equipment
We
state property and equipment at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize major renewals and improvements, while we charge minor
replacements, maintenance, and repairs to current operations. We compute depreciation by applying the straight-line method over estimated
useful lives, which are generally
Compensated Absences
We accrue a liability for compensated absences in accordance with Accounting Standards Codifications 710 – Compensation – General (“ASC 710”).
We account for stock-based compensation at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting periods and forfeitures are recognized in the periods they occur. There were and shares of common stock issued to employees, members of the Board of Directors, and members of our advisory committee for services during the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to us as of September 30, 2021. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Accounts
at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $
Income Taxes
We
file federal and state income tax returns in accordance with the applicable rules of each jurisdiction. We account for income taxes under
the asset and liability method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). The provision
for income taxes includes federal, state, and local income taxes currently payable, and deferred taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets
and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected
to apply to taxable amounts in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. In accordance with
ASC 740, we recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained.
Excise Tax
As a result of regulations
imposed by the Federal Government for sales of ammunition to non-government U.S. entities, we charge and collect an

Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to us but will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. We assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims and the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in our condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. On September 24, 2019, the Company received notice that a former employee that had voluntarily terminated filed a complaint against the Company, and certain individuals, with the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”). The Complaint in alleges that the individual reported potential violations of SEC rules and regulations by management and that as a result of such disclosures, the individual experienced a hostile work environment; that the Company lacks sufficient controls internal controls, and that the individual was the victim of retaliation and constructive discharge after being removed as a director by majority vote of the shareholders. The claims were investigated by a newly appointed Special Investigative Committee made up of independent directors represented by special independent legal counsel. The Special Investigative Committee and legal counsel found the material claims were unsubstantiated, including those concerning alleged SEC violations, and recommended enhancements to certain corporate governance charter documents and processes which the Company promptly implemented. The matter is currently the subject of administrative investigation by the DOL via the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The Company filed a timely Position Statement with the DOL in October of 2019 in response to the Complaint. The Company disputes the allegations of wrongdoing and believes the matters raised in the Complaint are without merit and therefore has and will continue to aggressively defend its interests in this matter. On February 4, 2020, the Company filed suit against a former employee for violating merger agreements with SW Kenetics, Inc., employment agreements, and by unlawfully retaining property belonging to the Company following their termination. On March 11, 2020, the former employee filed a counterclaim against the Company citing breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment, and declaratory judgement. The Company plans to aggressively pursue its offensive claims in order to recover economic damages as a result of its claims while seeking dismissal of the counterclaim. There were no other known contingencies at September 30, 2021.

We calculate basic income/(loss) per share using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities, such as outstanding options and warrants. We use the treasury stock method, in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. We have issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock and contingently issuable shares of common stock of . All weighted average numbers were adjusted for the reverse stock split and merger transaction. Due to the loss from operations in the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, there are no common shares added to calculate the dilutive loss per share for that period as the effect would be antidilutive. The Company excluded warrants of for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, from the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 5 – EQUIPMENT
We state equipment at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method at rates intended to depreciate the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, which are generally five to ten years. Upon retirement or sale of property and equipment, we remove the cost of the disposed assets and related accumulated depreciation from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to other income. We charge expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance to expense as incurred.
We capitalize additions and expenditures for improving or rebuilding existing assets that extend the useful life. Leasehold improvements made either at the inception of the lease or during the lease term are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term including any renewals that are reasonably assured.

Overview
Our vision is to modernize the ammunition industry by bringing new technologies to market. We intend to do that through acquisition and application of intellectual property that is unique to the industry and through investing in manufacturing equipment and processes that enable us to compete globally.
Our innovative line of match grade armor piercing (“AP”) and hard armor piercing incendiary (“HAPI”) tactical rounds are the centerpiece of the Company’s strategy to address the unique needs of the armed forces community. This ammunition was designed around a match grade portfolio of projectiles, that include a solid copper boat tail and armor piercing configuration. The distinction between these rounds and other sold, is that the manufacturing process was engineered to ensure extremely tight tolerances between each projectile manufactured, ensuring for the end user that the ballistic trajectory remains consistent between rounds without regard to the actual configuration or round fired. Our AP and HAPI line are also available with our O.W.L. Technology™. The Company has aligned its manufacturing operations to support the large caliber demand from military personnel, such as the 12.7 mm and .50 caliber BMG configurations. On February 2, 2021, we announced that we restarted our improved .50 caliber manufacturing line to address increased market demand and fulfill current orders.
We offer ammunition casings for pistol ammunition through large rifle ammunition. Our casing operations is backed by decades of manufacturing experience that allows the production of high-quality pistol brass and rifle brass components. Borne from the automotive industry and refined over time to deliver durable and consistent sporting components, Jagemann™ Casings, has become one of the largest brass manufacturers in the country, with the capacity to produce more than 750 million pieces of brass each year with the ability to scale to 1 billion rounds on an annual basis. Proud of its American-made components and capabilities, the Company now has complete control over the manufacturing process. This results in a number of advantages when it comes to the brass that leaves our state-of-the-art facility.

On April 30, 2021, we acquired Gemini Direct Investments, LLC (“Gemini”) and nine of its subsidiaries, all of which are related to Gemini’s ownership of the Gunbroker.com marketplace.
GunBroker.com is a large online marketplace dedicated to firearms, hunting, shooting and related products. Aside from merchandise bearing its logo, GunBroker.com currently sells none of the items listed on its website. Third-party sellers list items on the site and federal and state laws govern the sale of firearms and other restricted items. Ownership policies and regulations are followed using licensed firearms dealers as transfer agents.
With our recent addition of the Gunbroker.com marketplace, we aim to further enhance our vision of bringing technologies to the industry. Gunbroker.com is a marketplace that connects millions of buyers and sellers allowing our users to access a daily average of over one million unique items.
The focus for our 2022 fiscal year is to continue to expand our brand presence into the markets identified above and to continue to grow our sales within our targeted markets. We intend to do this through establishing key strategic relationships, enrolling in government procurement programs, establishing relationships with leading law enforcement associations and programs, expanding distributor channels, and revitalized marketing campaigns.

Results of Operations
Our financial results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 reflect our newly positioned organization. We believe that we have hired a strong team of professionals, developed innovative products, and continue to raise capital sufficient to establish our presence as a high-quality ammunition provider and marketplace. We continue to focus on growing our top line revenue, and streamlining our operations, and as a result, we experienced an increase in our gross profit margin for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021. This was the result of a significant increase in sales allowing us to cover a greater percentage of our fixed manufacturing costs, which include our non-cash amortization and depreciation expense as well as the addition of our new marketplace, Gunbroker.com

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We analyze operational and financial data to evaluate our business, allocate our resources, and assess our performance. In addition to total net sales, net loss, and other results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the following information includes key operating metrics and non-GAAP financial measures we use to evaluate our business. We believe these measures are useful for period-to-period comparisons of the Company. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because they are key measures we use to evaluate our operational performance, produce future strategies for our operations, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of our resources. Accordingly, we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that displays our net income (loss), adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as described below.
We have excluded the following non-cash expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures: depreciation and amortization, loss on purchase, share-based compensation expenses, and changes to the contingent consideration fair value. We believe it is useful to exclude these non-cash expenses because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure also excludes other cash interest income and expense, as these items are not components of our core operations. We have not included adjustment for any provision or benefit for income taxes as we currently record a valuation allowance and we have included adjustment for excise taxes.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include the following:
| ● | Employee stock awards and stock grants expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in the Company and an important part of our compensation strategy; | |
| ● | the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and the non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures or other capital commitments; and | |
| ● | non-GAAP measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs | |
| ● | other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate the non-GAAP financial measures differently or not at all, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures. |
Because of these limitations, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including our net loss and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
Net Sales
The following table shows our net sales by proprietary ammunition versus standard ammunition for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. “Proprietary Ammunition” include those lines of ammunition manufactured by our facilities that are sold under the brand names: STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™ and Stelth. We define “Standard Ammunition” as non-proprietary ammunition that directly competes with other brand manufacturers. Our “Standard Ammunition” is manufactured within our facility and may also include completed ammunition that has been acquired in the open market for sale to others. Also included in this category is low cost target pistol and rifle ammunition, as well as bulk packaged ammunition manufactured by us using reprocessed brass casings. Ammunition within this product line typically carries lower gross margins.

Sales for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 increased 408% and 387%, respectively or approximately $49.0 million or $83.7 million, respectively over the three and six months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was the result of approximately $31.7 million and $54.4 million of respective increased sales in bulk pistol and rifle ammunition, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million and $1.0 million of respective sales of Proprietary Ammunition, an increase of approximately $0.7 million and $1.3 million of respective sales from our casing operations, and $16.8 million and $29.0 million in respective revenue generated from our recently acquired marketplace, Gunbroker.com, which includes auction revenue, payment processing revenue, and shipping income. Management expects the sales of Proprietary Ammunition to outpace the sales of our Standard Ammunition.
We are focused on continuing to grow top line revenue quarter-over-quarter as we continue to further expand distribution into commercial markets, introduce new product lines, and initiate sales to U.S. law enforcement, military, and international markets.
Through our acquisition of SWK, the Company has developed and deployed a new line of tactical armor piercing (AP) and hard armor piercing incendiary (HAPI) precision ammunition to meet the lethality requirements of both the US and foreign military customers. We continue to demonstrate our AP and HAPI ammunition to military personnel at scheduled and invite only events, resulting in increased interest and procurement discussions.
It is important to note that, although U.S. law enforcement, military and international markets represent significant opportunities for our Company, they also have a long sales cycle. The Company’s sales team has been effective in establishing sales and distribution channels, both in the United States and abroad, which are reasonably anticipated to drive sustained sales opportunity in the military, law enforcement, and commercial markets.
Sales outside of the United States require licenses and approval from either the U.S. Department of Commerce or the U.S. State Department, which typically takes approximately 30 days to receive. On July 21, 2020, we renewed our annual registration with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”), which remains valid through the report date. This permits the Company to export and broker ammunition and other controlled items covered under ITAR.
On June 23, 2021, we announced that we were awarded a U.S. Department of Defense contract for the development and manufacture of ballistically matched multi-purpose rounds to design and manufacture multiple Ballistically Matched Multi-Purpose Rounds (BM-MPR) in support of U.S. military operations.
On September 23, 2021, we announced that we were awarded a U.S. Department of Defense contract to design and manufacture signature-on-target rounds (“SoT”) in support of U.S. military operations. The SoT ammunition allows the machine gunner to see bullet impacts without a visible signature in flight exposing their firing location in the manner which occurs with currently utilized tracer ammunition.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of Revenues increased by approximately $24.1 million and $41.0 million from $10.7 million and $19.3 million to $34.8 million and $60.3 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the comparable period ended in 2020. This was the result of a significant increase in net sales as well increases to non-cash depreciation related to increases in production equipment, expensing of increased labor, overhead, and raw materials used to produce finished product during 2021 as compared to 2020, and additional cost of revenues from our recent acquisition of our marketplace, Gunbroker.com. As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold decreased by 36.1% and 35.8 % when comparing the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Gross Margin
Our gross margin percentage increased to 42.9% and 42.8% from 10.7% and 10.9% during the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2020. This was a result of increased sales allowing us to cover a greater percentage of our fixed manufacturing costs, which include our non-cash amortization and depreciation expense, and the inclusion of our newly acquired marketplace, Gunbroker.com which, by nature has significantly higher margins than our manufactured products.
| 29 |
We believe as we continue to grow sales through new markets and expanded distribution that our gross margins will also increase, as evidenced by the improvement over this time last year. Our goal in the next 12 to 24 months is to continue to improve our gross margins. This will be accomplished through the following:
| ● | Increased product sales, specifically of proprietary lines of ammunition, like the STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™, Stelth and now our tactical Armor Piercing (AP) and Hard Armor Piercing Incendiary (HAPI) precision ammunition, all of which carry higher margins as a percentage of their selling price; | |
| ● | Introduction of new lines of ammunition that historically carry higher margins in the consumer and government sectors; | |
| ● | Leverage of our newly acquired marketplace, Gunbroker.com, through the introduction of additional services and product offerings; | |
| ● | Expanded use of automation equipment that reduces the total labor required to assemble finished products; | |
| ● | And, better leverage of our fixed costs through expanded production to support the sales objectives. |
Operating Expenses
Overall, for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, our operating expenses increased by approximately $9.0 million and $14.4 million over the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, and decreased as a percentage of sales from 25.0% and 31.6% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 to 19.7% and 20.1% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily related to approximately $8.6 million of additional operating expenses following our merger with Gemini, including $5.5 million of depreciation and amortization expenses. Our operating expenses include non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $3.7 million and $6.3 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021. Our operating expenses consisted of commissions related to our sales increases, stock compensation expense associated with issuance of our Common Stock in lieu of cash compensation for employees, and board members, and key consultants for the organization during the period. Operating expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 periods included noncash expenses of approximately $8.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively. We expect to see administrative expenditures to continue to decrease as a percentage of sales in the 2022 fiscal year, as we leverage our work force and expand our sales opportunities.
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, our selling and marketing expenses increased by approximately $1.2 million and $2.0 million in comparison to the three and six months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily related to commission on the increases in the sale of our products resulting of approximately $1.1 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 in comparison to the comparable prior period.
Our corporate general & administrative expenses increased approximately $3.0 million and $5.1 million in the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 from the comparable prior period mainly due to increased general corporate expenses related to the addition of Gemini of approximately $1.4 million and $1.9 million and increased professional and legal fees of $0.7 million primarily related to our acquisition of Gemini.
Employee salaries and related expenses increased approximately $1.5 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the comparable period ended in 2020. The increase for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the prior period, was primary related to an increase in stock compensation of approximately $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 increased by approximately $3.3 million and $5.5 million from the comparable prior periods due to depreciation and amortization expenses in connection with the acquisition of Gemini.
Interest and Other Expenses
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, interest expense decreased by approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million compared with the comparable three and six months ended September 30, 2020. The change from the prior periods was mainly due to the repayment of notes and conversion of convertible promissory notes in current and prior periods.
Net Income
As a result of increases in revenues from increased production as well as our acquisition of Gemini, we ended the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 with a net income of approximately $14.1 million and $23.7 million, respectively compared with a net losses of approximately $2.3 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020.
| 30 |
Our goal is to continue to improve our operating results as we focus on increasing sales and controlling our operating expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, we had $32,938,021 of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $85,403,450 from March 31, 2021.
Working Capital is summarized and compared as follows:
| September

Changes in cash flows are summarized as follows:
Operating Activities
For the six months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operations totaled approximately $7.1 million. This was primarily the result of net income of approximately $23.7 million, which was offset by increases in our inventories of approximately $19.1 million, increases in deposits of approximately $14.7 million, increases in our accounts receivable of approximately $14.2 million, decreases in prepaid expenses of approximately $1.1 million, and increases in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization totaled approximately $8.2 million and non-cash expenses for employee stock awards totaled $1.9 million.
For the six months ended September 30, 2020, net cash used in operations totaled approximately $3.8 million. This was primarily the result of a net loss of approximately $5.4 million, increases in our period end inventories and accounts receivable of approximately $3.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and a loss on Jagemann Munition Components of $1.0 million. The cash used in operations were partially offset by the benefit of non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization of $2.4 million, employee stock compensation of $0.5 million, and stock grants totaling $0.1 million.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended September 30, 2021, we used approximately $55.7 million in net cash for investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities consisted of approximately $50.5 million uses in connection with the merger of Gemini, and approximately $5.2 million related to purchases of production equipment and the construction of our new manufacturing facility in Manitowoc, WI.
During the six months ended September 30, 2020, we used $2.3 million in net cash for investing activities to purchase fixed assets such as new production equipment.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $22.5 million. This was the net effect of a $50.0 million payment on debt assumed from Gemini, $35.0 million of proceeds from the sale of our preferred stock net of approximately $3.2 million of issuance costs, approximately $0.9 million was generated from common stock issued for exercised warrants, the $4.0 million repayment of a note payable, and an approximate $0.9 million reduction in our Inventory Credit Facility. Additionally, approximately $50.4 million was generated from accounts receivable factoring, which was offset by payments of approximately $49.1 million.
| 31 |
During the six months ended September 30, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $8.6 million. This was the net effect of approximately $2.9 million of proceeds from the sale of common stock net of approximately $0.1 million of issuance costs, approximately $3.5 million of proceeds from a related party note, approximately $2.3 million generated from our Inventory Credit Facility, approximately $1.1 million in proceeds from our paycheck protection program notes payable, and approximately $0.2 million was generated from common stock issued for exercised warrants. Additionally, approximately $15.3 million was generated from accounts receivable factoring, which was offset by payments of approximately $15.2 million. Approximately$1.1 million of cash was used for payments on related party notes payable, and $270,233 toward our insurance premium notes payable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Existing working capital, cash used in operations, bank borrowings, and sales of equity and debt securities are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next year. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of stock sales, bank financings, and related-party notes.
We believe financing will be available, both through conventional financing relationships and through the continued sales of our Common Stock. However, there is no assurance that such funding will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. We believe that our current cash on hand, coupled with alternative sources of funding, will be sufficient to satisfy intended capital expenditures, potential acquisitions and general liquidity requirements through at least the next twelve months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, net sales, expenses, results of operations, liquidity capital expenditures, or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affected 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. Significant estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements include the valuation of allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred tax assets, inventories, useful lives of assets, intangible assets, and stock-based compensation. A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” There have been no significant changes to these policies during the six months ended September 30, 2021. For disclosure regarding recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated impact they will have on our operations, please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021.
