NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY
We were formed under the name Retrospettiva, Inc. in November 1990 to manufacture and import textile products, including both finished garments and fabrics. We were inactive until the following series of events in December 2016 and March 2017.
On December 15, 2016, the Company’s majority shareholders sold their common stock to Mr. Fred W. Wagenhals (“Mr. Wagenhals”) resulting in a change in control of the Company. Mr. Wagenhals was appointed as sole officer and the sole member of the Company’s Board of Directors.
The

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, 2023. The results for the three and six month period ended September 30, 2023 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, 2023 and 2022, (b) the financial position at September 30, 2023, and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

AMMO, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 credit losses, valuation of deferred tax assets, inventories, useful lives of assets, goodwill, intangible assets, stock-based compensation and warrant-based compensation.
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” in the current period. These policy changes did not result in a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. There have been no other significant changes to these policies during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023. 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, 2023.
Goodwill
We
evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely
than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In testing for goodwill impairment, we may elect to
utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than
its carrying amount. If our qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, we perform a two-step
impairment test. We test goodwill for impairment under the two-step impairment test by first comparing the book value of net assets
to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or qualitative factors
indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment
as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of the reporting
units using discounted cash flows. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating
expenses, based primarily on expected category expansion, pricing, market segment share, and general economic conditions. Due to the
declines in the value of our stock price and market capitalization in the year ended March 31, 2023, we assessed qualitative factors to determine if it is more
likely than not that the fair value of the Marketplace segment is less than its carrying amount. Through our analysis we determined
our stock price and market capitalization decline is not indicative of a decrease in the fair value of our Marketplace segment and a
fair value calculation using the discounted cash flows was more appropriate due to the operational performance of the reporting
segment. Accordingly, the impairment of Goodwill was not warranted for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023. As of
September 30, 2023, the Company has a goodwill carrying value of $

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Our
accounts receivable represents amounts due from customers for products sold and include an allowance for estimated credit losses which
is estimated based on the collectability and age of the accounts receivable balances and categorization of customers with similar financial
condition. At September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, we reserved $
Restricted Cash
We consider cash to be restricted when withdrawal or general use is legally restricted. Our restricted cash balance is comprised of cash on deposit with banks to secure the Construction Note Payable as discussed in Note 10. We report restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as current or non-current classification based on the expected duration of the restriction.
License Agreements
We are a party to a license agreement with Jesse James, a well-known motorcycle designer, and Jesse James Firearms, LLC, a Texas limited liability company. The license agreement grants us the exclusive worldwide rights through April 12, 2026 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.
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 three months
ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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, ammunition casings, 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 transferred 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 determine those that are performance obligations, and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct.
For Ammunition Sales and Casing Sales, 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 Marketplace revenue, the performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is recognized as follows:
Auction revenue consists of optional listing fees with variable pricing components based on customer options selected from the GunBroker website and final value fees based on a percentage of the final selling price of the listed item. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.
Payment processing revenue consists of fees charged to customers on a transactional basis. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on stand-alone selling prices. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.
Shipping income consists of fees charged to customers for shipping of sold items listed on the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to ship the item sold as initiated by the customer. The price is set based on the third-party service provider selected to be used by the customer as well as the speed and location of shipment. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the shipping label is printed.
Banner Advertising Campaign Revenue consists of fees charged to customers for advertisement placement and impressions generated through the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to generate the number of impressions specified by the customer on banner advertisements on the GunBroker website using the placement selected by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on standalone selling prices, or by advertising insertion order as negotiated by media broker. If the number of impressions promised is not generated, the customer receives a refund and the refund is applied to the transaction price. Banner advertising campaigns generally run for one month, and revenue is recognized at a point in time at the end of the selected month.
Product Sales consists of fees charged for the liquidation of excess inventory for partner distributors. The performance obligation is to sell and ship the inventory item as initiated by the customer. The price depends on whether the inventory is a fixed price item or an auction item. For a fixed price item, the Company performs research to determine the current market rate for such an item, and the item is listed at that price. For an auction item, the price is set by what the buyer is willing to pay. The Company acts as a principal in these transactions due to the extent of control they have over the product prior to the sale. Due to the principal determination, gross revenue is recognized at a point in time when the item has been shipped.

AMMO, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Identity Verification consists of fees charged to customers for identity verification in order to gain access to the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to process the identity verification as initiated by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on a stand-alone selling price. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the identity verification is completed.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, 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 represents 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. We note 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.

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, 2023. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, factoring liability, and the construction note payable. 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.
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.

Compensated Absences
We accrue a liability for compensated absences in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 710 – Compensation – General (“ASC 710”).
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.
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. On April 1, 2023 we adopted ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” Accordingly, stock based compensation is valued using market value of our Common Stock. 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, 2023, respectively.

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.

Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the 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.
AMMO is defending two contract arbitration cases with adverse former employees. The first one involved an employee terminated for cause who is seeking contract wages and stock that was earned but clawed back upon his termination. In that case, the Company received a favorable ruling on a partial motion for summary judgment wherein the arbitrator ruled the employee had refused to return funds he received as reimbursement for invoices he never paid. The arbitrator, thus, granted the Company’s partially dispositive motion. The remaining claims went to an arbitration hearing in late September 2023. No decision has yet been rendered.
The second case involved an employee who was terminated without cause wherein the former employee is seeking contract wages, commissions and allegedly earned common stock. The Company also received notice in October 2022 that an OSHA whistleblower complaint had been filed with the US Department of Labor by that same employee that had been terminated for cause. The regulatory filing was received after AMMO refused to capitulate to the former employee’s demands. AMMO has produced documents and submitted its position statement to OSHA and the matter is currently pending at the agency level. AMMO uncovered additional information through work with counsel and investigators and a supplemental response was provided to OHSA on or about July 10, 2023. The Company and the employee agreed to arbitrate the case.
On April 30, 2023, Director and Stockholder Steve Urvan filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company, certain Directors, former directors, employees, former employees and consultants. Urvan’s complaint alleges fraudulent misrepresentation in connection with the Company’s acquisition of GunBroker.com and certain affiliated companies. Urvan seeks relief in the form of a Court order for partial rescission of the Merger and compensatory damages. The Company and the individual defendants believe that the claims are without merit and have moved to dismiss Urvan’s complaint. The Company has also filed a separate lawsuit against Urvan in the Delaware Court of Chancery alleging, among other things, that Urvan committed fraud in connection with the GunBroker.com sale and that Urvan breached his indemnification obligations to AMMO after the sale. On September 11, 2023, the Court of Chancery consolidated the Company’s lawsuit against Urvan with Urvan’s lawsuit against the Company and the individual defendants. On September 20, 2023, AMMO filed an amended complaint that added a new fraudulent inducement claim and a claim for violation of the Arizona Securities Act. Urvan has moved to dismiss AMMO’s affirmative claims. The Court of Chancery has scheduled a hearing on both motions to dismiss in the consolidated action for December 18, 2023.
The Company received an assessment from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”) for penalties related to excise tax filings in prior fiscal years. A request for abatement was submitted on May 22, 2023, which was subsequently denied by the TTB. An appeals conference is scheduled with the TTB for this matter in October of 2023.

Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the dates they are made.

Overview
AMMO, Inc., owner of the GunBroker.com Marketplace, the largest online marketplace serving the firearms and shooting sports industries, and a vertically integrated producer of high-performance ammunition and premium components began its operations in 2016.
Through our GunBroker.com Marketplace segment (acquired in April 2021), we allow third party sellers to list items consisting of firearms, hunting gear, fishing equipment, outdoor gear, collectibles, and much more on our site, while facilitating compliance with federal and state laws that govern the sale of firearms and restricted items. This allows our base of over 7.8 million users to follow ownership policies and regulations through our network of over 35,000 federally licensed firearms dealers as transfer agents. The nature and operation of the Marketplace as an online auction and sales platform also affords our Company a unique view into the total domestic market for the purpose of understanding sales trends at a granular level across all elements of the outdoor sports and shooting space. Our vision is to expand the services on GunBroker.com and to become a peer to those in our industry. In the short term, we will be implementing the following services;
● Payment Processing - facilitating payment between parties allowing sellers of all sizes to offer fast and secure electronic payments and allowing buyers to experience the ease of using a single form of payment for all items purchased,
● Carting Ability - allowing our buyers to purchase multiple items from multiple sellers at one point in time, and,
● GunBroker.com Analytics – through the compilation and refinement of vast Marketplace data, we plan to offer domestic market analytics to our industry peers to allow them to better manage their businesses.
Through our Ammunition segment, we are tailoring our focus to build a new future for our manufacturing operations focused on premium pistol and rifle ammunition and supporting industry partners for manufactured components. We will continue to leverage our proprietary brands like Streak Visual AmmunitionTM and Stelth subsonic ammunition and extend our product offering with premium rifle lines and brands that complement our technologically innovative heritage. We also continue to ensure dynamic performance under the exacting standards of the US military complex in support of our cutting-edge developmental ammunition programs as we seek out and effectively execute upon new governmental-based opportunities.
| 24 |
In September of 2022, we began operating out of our new 185,000 square foot manufacturing facility. This new, state-of-the-art ammunition production facility is part of our commitment to the continuing development of differentiated, cutting-edge technology.
Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. The following information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report beginning on page 3.
Our financial results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 reflect our newly positioned organization as we transition into our new strategic direction. 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. We experienced a 28.8% and 37.1% decrease in our Net Revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the three and six months ended September 30, 2022. This was the result of decreased ammunition sales due to changes in market demand as well as a shift in operations to an increased focus on ammunition casing sales.
The following table presents summarized financial information taken from our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 compared with the three and six months ended September 30, 2022:

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.
The items shown in the table above are included as adjustments because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.
We have modified our Adjusted EBITDA calculation in the current period to remove the adjustment for Excise Taxes as we believe this is a better representation of our operations. In prior periods, we included an 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, 2023 and 2022. “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, 2023 decreased 28.8% and 37.1% or approximately $13.9 million and $40.4 million, respectively, due to changes in market conditions and our shift to increase ammunition casing sales. The decrease for the three month period was largely the result of a decrease of $11.7 million in sales of bulk pistol and rifle ammunition, a decrease of $2.2 million of sales of Proprietary Ammunition, and a decrease of $2.1 million generated from our marketplace, GunBroker.com, which includes auction revenue, payment processing revenue, and shipping income. Our ammunition casings sales increased $2.0 million or 47.1% over the prior year period. The decrease for the six month period was largely the result of a decrease of $36.9 million in sales of bulk pistol and rifle ammunition, a decrease of $3.9 million of sales of Proprietary Ammunition, and a decrease of $4.7 million generated from our marketplace, GunBroker.com, which includes auction revenue, payment processing revenue, and shipping income. Our ammunition casings sales increased $5.0 million or 65.6% over the prior year period. Management expects the sales growth rate of Proprietary Ammunition to greatly 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 continue to initiate sales to U.S. law enforcement, military, and international markets.
Through our ownership of SWK, the Company has developed and deployed a 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. The Company has since developed the ballistic match (BMMPR) and signature-on-target (SoT) rounds under contract with the U.S. Government in support of US special operations which have been publicly announced pursuant to governmental authorization. Additional work continues in support of the military operations of the U.S. and its ally military components which is not currently subject to disclosure.
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 June 12, 2023, 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.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of Revenues decreased by approximately $9.4 million and $31.8 million to $26.1 million and $46.3 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the comparable period ended in 2022. This was the result of a significant decrease in net sales during 2023 as compared to 2022.
Gross Margin
Our gross margin percentage decreased to 24.1% from 26.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2022. Our gross margin percentage increased to 32.5% from 28.4% during the six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2022. The shift in our gross margin was related to changes in our revenue mix, materials cost, and labor and overhead expenses.
| 27 |
We believe as we continue to grow sales through new markets and expanded distribution that our gross margins will also increase by efficiencies added through our new production facility. 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; | |
| ● | Reduced component costs through operation of our ammunition segment and expansion of strategic relationships with component providers; | |
| ● | 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, 2023, our operating expenses increased by approximately $3.8 and $6.4 million, respectively, over the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and increased as a percentage of sales from 27.6% and 24.2% to 49.8% and 47.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our operating expenses include non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $4.7 and $9.3 million for the three and six months September 30, 2023. Our operating expenses consisted of commissions related to our sales, stock compensation expense associated with issuance of our Common Stock in lieu of cash compensation for employees, board members, and key consultants for the organization during the period. Operating expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 included noncash expenses of approximately $6.2 million and $11.6 million, respectively.
During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, our selling and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $0.8 million and $2.4 million, in comparison to the three and six months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily related to decreases in sales commission due to the decrease in the sale of our products.
Our corporate general and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.8 million and $5.7 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 from the comparable prior period due to $2.8 million and $5.6 million in nonrecurring legal and professional fees and expenses, including accruals for contingencies of approximately $1.1 million.
Employee salaries and related expenses increased approximately $1.7 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the comparable period ended in 2022. The increase for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the prior period, was primarily related to $1.0 million of additional payroll expenses incurred related to our CEO transition and $1.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in expenses related to our new employee bonus plan.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 increased by approximately $0.1 million.
Interest and Other Expenses
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, interest expense increased by approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million compared with the comparable three and six months ended September 30, 2022. The change from the prior periods was mainly due to an increase in our Construction Note Payable.
Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a benefit for federal and state income taxes of approximately $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a provision for federal and state income taxes of approximately $0.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively
Net Income (Loss)
We ended the three months ended September 30, 2023 with a net loss of approximately $7.5 million compared with a net loss of approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. We ended the six months ended September 30, 2023 with a net loss of approximately $8.6 million compared with a net income of approximately $2.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2022.
| 28 |
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, 2023, we had $49,564,867 of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $10,430,838 from March 31, 2023.
Working Capital is summarized and compared as follows:
| September 30, 2023 | March 31, 2023 | |||||||

Liquidity
Existing working capital, cash flow from 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. These sources have been adequate to fund our recurring cash expenditures including but not limited to our working capital requirements, capital expenditures to expand our operations, debt repayments, and acquisitions. We intend to continue to use the aforementioned sources of funding for capital expenditures, debt repayments, share repurchases and any potential acquisitions.
Leases
We lease four locations that are used for our offices, production, and warehousing. As of September 30, 2023, we had $1.1 million of fixed lease payment obligations with $0.4 million payable within the next 12 months. Please refer to Note 8– Leases for additional information.
Construction Note Payable

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2023, 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.
| 30 |
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, goodwill, intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and warrant-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, 2023, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” in the current period. These policy changes did not result in a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. There have been no other significant changes to these policies during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023. 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, 2023.
Goodwill
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In testing for goodwill impairment, we may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If our qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, we perform a two-step impairment test. We test goodwill for impairment under the two-step impairment test by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flows. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily on expected category expansion, pricing, market segment share, and general economic conditions. Due to the declines in the value of our stock price and market capitalization in the year ended March 31, 2023, we assessed qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Marketplace segment is less than its carrying amount. Through our analysis we determined our stock price and market capitalization decline it is not indicative of a decrease in the fair value of our Marketplace segment and a fair value calculation using the discounted cash flows was more appropriate due to the operational performance of the reporting segment. Accordingly, the impairment of Goodwill was not warranted for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has a goodwill carrying value of $90,870,094, all of which is assigned to the Marketplace segment. However, should there continue to be a decline in the Company’s market capitalization, it is possible that the book values of our Marketplace segment could exceed its fair value, which may result in the recognition of a material, noncash impairment of goodwill for the year ending March 31, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our market risks are similar to those disclosed under the caption “Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023 and filed with the SEC on June 14, 2023 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2023. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Based on this evaluation, and because of the material weaknesses described below, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2023.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses that were identified and continued to exist as of September 30, 2023, management believes that the financial statements included in this report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented, nor were there changes to previously released financial results.
Material Weaknesses And Management’s Remediation Plan
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard AS 2201, 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.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting remained as of September 30, 2023:
The Company failed to maintain an effective control environment due to the following:
| ● | the Company’s management and the governance did not maintain appropriately designed entity-level controls impacting the control environment to prevent or detect material misstatements to the consolidated financial statements. These deficiencies were attributed to limited personnel to assist with the accounting and financial reporting function and inadequate oversight and accountability over the performance of control activities, including establishment of a Whistleblower Hotline and lack of formalization of certain key governance elements: management delegation, annual board committee charter review, acknowledgement of code of conduct, and approval of the annual budget; | |
| ● | the Company failed to maintain properly designed segregation of duties, both within manual processes and system access; | |
| ● | the Company failed to maintain effectively designed controls over journal entries, both recurring and nonrecurring, account reconciliations, and periodic flux analysis. Journal entries were not always accompanied by sufficient supporting documentation and were not adequately reviewed and approved for validity, completeness, and accuracy. In most instances, persons responsible for reviewing journal entries and account reconciliations for validity, completeness, and accuracy were also responsible for preparation. | |
| ● | the Company failed to maintain effectively designed controls over the period-end financial reporting process, including adequate tie-out and review of documentation that supports the financial statements; and | |
| ● | the Company failed to maintain effectively designed controls over information technology general controls in the areas of user provisioning and de-provisioning, application change management, operating system and logical access controls, and segregation of duties for information technology (“IT”) systems that supports the Company’s financial reporting process. |
| 32 |
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
We have concluded that these material weaknesses arose because we did not have the necessary business processes, systems, personnel, and related internal controls.
In response to the material weaknesses, management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, has continued the process of, and is committed to, designing and implementing effective measures to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting and remediate the material weaknesses. The Company is committed to ensuring that a proper, consistent tone is communicated throughout the organization, which emphasizes the expectation that previously existing deficiencies will be rectified through implementation of processes and controls to ensure strict compliance with U.S. GAAP and regulatory requirements.
Our third–party consulting firm that specializes in internal audit work, and more specifically internal controls over financial reporting work, has assisted management and will continue to assist management with our risk assessment of internal control over financial reporting as well as documentation and testing of our internal control structure and evaluation of material weaknesses, with special focus on assisting management in the establishment and evaluation of proper segregation of duties procedures and monitoring and controls over ITGCs for the systems that support our financial reporting process. Specifically, with the right compliment of accounting and finance team members now in place, our entire control environment is being evaluated for enhancement of our internal controls over financial reporting.
In addition to the measures noted above, we have made progress in our remediation plan including the following items:
| ● | Management has presented, and the Board of Directors has approved the formal management delegation and the Company’s Annual Budget during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. | |
| ● | The Company formally initiated the implementation of a whistleblower hotline during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. | |
| ● | Approved, adopted, and implemented accounting policies related to journal entries and invoice approval. | |
| ● | Improved formalization of procedures and documentation for all journal entries, account reconciliations, flux analysis and variance thresholds, vendor set-up. | |
| ● | Progressed IT Remediation Project with third-party consultants to design and implement controls over user provisioning and de-provisioning, application change management, operating system and logical access controls, segregation of duties, and third-party service provider report review process. | |
| ● | Implemented improvements surrounding review and approval of controls with a review element, including proper segregation, enhanced documentation, and consistency of application. |
Beginning the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, management, with the help of our third-party consulting firm, began walkthroughs of our key controls, including those that would be necessary to effectively remediate the existing material weaknesses. A walkthrough is performed to gain comfort regarding the design effectiveness of the key controls. Based on our assessment of the walkthrough results, we will determine if our key controls have been designed effectively. Further assessments will be made of these controls to ascertain operating effectiveness, after which we will be able to determine if the existing material weaknesses have been remediated.
While these actions and planned actions are subject to ongoing management evaluation and will require validation and testing of the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a sustained period of financial reporting cycles, we are committed to the continuous improvement of our internal control over financial reporting and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Controls
Other than the changes described above, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act in Rule 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

| ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY | NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY
We were formed under the name Retrospettiva, Inc. in November 1990 to manufacture and import textile products, including both finished garments and fabrics. We were inactive until the following series of events in December 2016 and March 2017.
On December 15, 2016, the Company’s majority shareholders sold their common stock to Mr. Fred W. Wagenhals (“Mr. Wagenhals”) resulting in a change in control of the Company. Mr. Wagenhals was appointed as sole officer and the sole member of the Company’s Board of Directors.
The Company also approved (i) doing business in the name AMMO, Inc., (ii) a change to the Company’s OTC trading symbol to POWW, (iii) an agreement and plan of merger to re-domicile and change the Company’s state of incorporation from California to Delaware, and (iv) a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. These transactions were effective as of December 30, 2016.
On March 17, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with AMMO, Inc. a Delaware Corporation (“PRIVCO”) under which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of PRIVCO. PRIVCO subsequently changes its name to AMMO Munitions, Inc.

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 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, 2023. The results for the three and six month period ended September 30, 2023 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, 2023 and 2022, (b) the financial position at September 30, 2023, and (c) cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 credit losses, valuation of deferred tax assets, inventories, useful lives of assets, goodwill, intangible assets, stock-based compensation and warrant-based compensation.
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” in the current period. These policy changes did not result in a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. There have been no other significant changes to these policies during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023. 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, 2023.
Goodwill
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In testing for goodwill impairment, we may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If our qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, we perform a two-step impairment test. We test goodwill for impairment under the two-step impairment test by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flows. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily on expected category expansion, pricing, market segment share, and general economic conditions. Due to the declines in the value of our stock price and market capitalization in the year ended March 31, 2023, we assessed qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Marketplace segment is less than its carrying amount. Through our analysis we determined our stock price and market capitalization decline is not indicative of a decrease in the fair value of our Marketplace segment and a fair value calculation using the discounted cash flows was more appropriate due to the operational performance of the reporting segment. Accordingly, the impairment of Goodwill was not warranted for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has a goodwill carrying value of $90,870,094, all of which is assigned to the Marketplace segment. However, should there continue to be a decline in the Company’s market capitalization, it is possible that the book values of our Marketplace segment could exceed its fair value, which may result in the recognition of a material, noncash impairment of goodwill for the year ending March 31, 2024.

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. No impairment expense was recognized for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from the production and sale of ammunition, ammunition casings, 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:
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 transferred 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 determine those that are performance obligations, and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct.
For Ammunition Sales and Casing Sales, 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 Marketplace revenue, the performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is recognized as follows:
Auction revenue consists of optional listing fees with variable pricing components based on customer options selected from the GunBroker website and final value fees based on a percentage of the final selling price of the listed item. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.
Payment processing revenue consists of fees charged to customers on a transactional basis. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on stand-alone selling prices. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.
Shipping income consists of fees charged to customers for shipping of sold items listed on the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to ship the item sold as initiated by the customer. The price is set based on the third-party service provider selected to be used by the customer as well as the speed and location of shipment. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the shipping label is printed.
Banner Advertising Campaign Revenue consists of fees charged to customers for advertisement placement and impressions generated through the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to generate the number of impressions specified by the customer on banner advertisements on the GunBroker website using the placement selected by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on standalone selling prices, or by advertising insertion order as negotiated by media broker. If the number of impressions promised is not generated, the customer receives a refund and the refund is applied to the transaction price. Banner advertising campaigns generally run for one month, and revenue is recognized at a point in time at the end of the selected month.
Product Sales consists of fees charged for the liquidation of excess inventory for partner distributors. The performance obligation is to sell and ship the inventory item as initiated by the customer. The price depends on whether the inventory is a fixed price item or an auction item. For a fixed price item, the Company performs research to determine the current market rate for such an item, and the item is listed at that price. For an auction item, the price is set by what the buyer is willing to pay. The Company acts as a principal in these transactions due to the extent of control they have over the product prior to the sale. Due to the principal determination, gross revenue is recognized at a point in time when the item has been shipped.
AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Identity Verification consists of fees charged to customers for identity verification in order to gain access to the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to process the identity verification as initiated by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on a stand-alone selling price. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the identity verification is completed.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, 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 represents 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. We note 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 expensed as they are incurred in cost of revenues. We incurred advertising expenses of $94,026 and $145,090 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, recognized in selling and marketing expenses and $200,514 and $38,115 of marketplace advertising expenses recognized in cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We incurred advertising expenses of $213,664 and $695,537 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, recognized in selling and marketing expenses and $339,171 and $220,219 of marketplace advertising expenses recognized in cost of revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, factoring liability, and the construction note payable. 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.
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.
AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 5 to 10 years for equipment and 40 years for our building.
Compensated Absences
We accrue a liability for compensated absences in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 710 – Compensation – General (“ASC 710”).
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.
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. On April 1, 2023 we adopted ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” Accordingly, stock based compensation is valued using market value of our Common Stock. 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, 2023, respectively. There wereand 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, 2022, respectively.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Accounts at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of September 30, 2023, our bank account balances exceeded federally insured limits.
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. We measure recognized income tax positions at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. We reflect changes in recognition or measurement in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
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 11% excise tax for all products sold into these channels. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized approximately $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in excise taxes. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized approximately $2.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively, in excise taxes. For ease in selling to commercial markets, excise tax is included in our unit price for the products sold. We record this through net sales and expense the offsetting tax expense to cost of goods sold.
AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the 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.
AMMO is defending two contract arbitration cases with adverse former employees. The first one involved an employee terminated for cause who is seeking contract wages and stock that was earned but clawed back upon his termination. In that case, the Company received a favorable ruling on a partial motion for summary judgment wherein the arbitrator ruled the employee had refused to return funds he received as reimbursement for invoices he never paid. The arbitrator, thus, granted the Company’s partially dispositive motion. The remaining claims went to an arbitration hearing in late September 2023. No decision has yet been rendered.
The second case involved an employee who was terminated without cause wherein the former employee is seeking contract wages, commissions and allegedly earned common stock. The Company also received notice in October 2022 that an OSHA whistleblower complaint had been filed with the US Department of Labor by that same employee that had been terminated for cause. The regulatory filing was received after AMMO refused to capitulate to the former employee’s demands. AMMO has produced documents and submitted its position statement to OSHA and the matter is currently pending at the agency level. AMMO uncovered additional information through work with counsel and investigators and a supplemental response was provided to OHSA on or about July 10, 2023. The Company and the employee agreed to arbitrate the case.
On April 30, 2023, Director and Stockholder Steve Urvan filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company, certain Directors, former directors, employees, former employees and consultants. Urvan’s complaint alleges fraudulent misrepresentation in connection with the Company’s acquisition of GunBroker.com and certain affiliated companies. Urvan seeks relief in the form of a Court order for partial rescission of the Merger and compensatory damages. The Company and the individual defendants believe that the claims are without merit and have moved to dismiss Urvan’s complaint. The Company has also filed a separate lawsuit against Urvan in the Delaware Court of Chancery alleging, among other things, that Urvan committed fraud in connection with the GunBroker.com sale and that Urvan breached his indemnification obligations to AMMO after the sale. On September 11, 2023, the Court of Chancery consolidated the Company’s lawsuit against Urvan with Urvan’s lawsuit against the Company and the individual defendants. On September 20, 2023, AMMO filed an amended complaint that added a new fraudulent inducement claim and a claim for violation of the Arizona Securities Act. Urvan has moved to dismiss AMMO’s affirmative claims. The Court of Chancery has scheduled a hearing on both motions to dismiss in the consolidated action for December 18, 2023.
The Company received an assessment from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”) for penalties related to excise tax filings in prior fiscal years. A request for abatement was submitted on May 22, 2023, which was subsequently denied by the TTB. An appeals conference is scheduled with the TTB for this matter in October of 2023.
We have accrued for contingencies totaling approximately $1.1 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023. There were no other known contingencies at September 30, 2023.

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 5 to 10 years for equipment and 40 years for our building. 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.

| CONSTRUCTION NOTE PAYABLE | NOTE 10 – CONSTRUCTION NOTE PAYABLE
On October 14, 2021, we entered into a Construction Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Hiawatha National Bank (“Hiawatha”). The Loan Agreement specified that Hiawatha may lend up to $11,625,000 to the Borrower to pay a portion of the construction costs of an approximately 160,000 square foot manufacturing facility to be constructed on our property (the “Loan”). Hiawatha advanced Loan funds from October 2021 to October 2022 totaling $11,625,000. The Loan is an advancing term loan and not a revolving loan so any portion of the principal repaid cannot be reborrowed.
Additionally, on October 14, 2021, we issued a Promissory Note in favor of Hiawatha (the “Note”) in the amount of up to $11,625,000 with an interest rate of four and one-half percent (4.5%). The maturity date of the Note is October 14, 2026.
As of July 2022, we are eligible to prepay the Note in whole or in part with a prepayment premium of one percent (1%) of the principal being prepaid.
The Loan Agreement contains customary events of default including, but not limited to, a failure to make any payments pursuant to the Loan Agreement or Note, a failure to complete construction of the project, a lien of $100,000 or more against the property, or a transfer of the property without Hiawatha’s consent. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, among other remedies, the amounts due pursuant to the Loan can be accelerated, Hiawatha can foreclose on the property pursuant to the mortgage, and a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount due will be owed with all amounts then owed pursuant to the Note bearing interest at an increased rate.
We are required to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio, as defined in the terms of the Loan Agreement, of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 for the period defined below and continuing to and including the Maturity Date. The Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be tested on an annual basis, as of July 1, for each previous year.
We made $127,858 in principal payments for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The restricted cash can be released per the terms documented in the Loan Agreement filed with the Commission on Form 10-Q on February 14, 2022.

A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We adopted ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” in the current period.

| Goodwill | Goodwill
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In testing for goodwill impairment, we may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If our qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, we perform a two-step impairment test. We test goodwill for impairment under the two-step impairment test by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flows. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily on expected category expansion, pricing, market segment share, and general economic conditions. Due to the declines in the value of our stock price and market capitalization in the year ended March 31, 2023, we assessed qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Marketplace segment is less than its carrying amount. Through our analysis we determined our stock price and market capitalization decline is not indicative of a decrease in the fair value of our Marketplace segment and a fair value calculation using the discounted cash flows was more appropriate due to the operational performance of the reporting segment. Accordingly, the impairment of Goodwill was not warranted for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has a goodwill carrying value of $90,870,094, all of which is assigned to the Marketplace segment. However, should there continue to be a decline in the Company’s market capitalization, it is possible that the book values of our Marketplace segment could exceed its fair value, which may result in the recognition of a material, noncash impairment of goodwill for the year ending March 31, 2024.

| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | 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. No impairment expense was recognized for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from the production and sale of ammunition, ammunition casings, 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:
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 transferred 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 determine those that are performance obligations, and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct.
For Ammunition Sales and Casing Sales, 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 Marketplace revenue, the performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is recognized as follows:
Auction revenue consists of optional listing fees with variable pricing components based on customer options selected from the GunBroker website and final value fees based on a percentage of the final selling price of the listed item. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.
Payment processing revenue consists of fees charged to customers on a transactional basis. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on stand-alone selling prices. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.
Shipping income consists of fees charged to customers for shipping of sold items listed on the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to ship the item sold as initiated by the customer. The price is set based on the third-party service provider selected to be used by the customer as well as the speed and location of shipment. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the shipping label is printed.
Banner Advertising Campaign Revenue consists of fees charged to customers for advertisement placement and impressions generated through the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to generate the number of impressions specified by the customer on banner advertisements on the GunBroker website using the placement selected by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on standalone selling prices, or by advertising insertion order as negotiated by media broker. If the number of impressions promised is not generated, the customer receives a refund and the refund is applied to the transaction price. Banner advertising campaigns generally run for one month, and revenue is recognized at a point in time at the end of the selected month.
Product Sales consists of fees charged for the liquidation of excess inventory for partner distributors. The performance obligation is to sell and ship the inventory item as initiated by the customer. The price depends on whether the inventory is a fixed price item or an auction item. For a fixed price item, the Company performs research to determine the current market rate for such an item, and the item is listed at that price. For an auction item, the price is set by what the buyer is willing to pay. The Company acts as a principal in these transactions due to the extent of control they have over the product prior to the sale. Due to the principal determination, gross revenue is recognized at a point in time when the item has been shipped.

Identity Verification consists of fees charged to customers for identity verification in order to gain access to the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to process the identity verification as initiated by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on a stand-alone selling price. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the identity verification is completed.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, 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 represents 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. We note 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 | Advertising Costs
We expense advertising costs as they are incurred in selling and marketing expenses of operating expenses. Marketplace advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred in cost of revenues.

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 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, 2023. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, factoring liability, and the construction note payable. 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.

| Inventories | 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.

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.

| Stock-Based Compensation |
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. On April 1, 2023 we adopted ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions.” Accordingly, stock based compensation is valued using market value of our Common Stock. 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, 2023, respectively.

| Income Taxes | 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. We measure recognized income tax positions at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. We reflect changes in recognition or measurement in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

| Excise Tax | 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 11% excise tax for all products sold into these channels. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized approximately $1.3 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in excise taxes. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized approximately $2.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively, in excise taxes. For ease in selling to commercial markets, excise tax is included in our unit price for the products sold. We record this through net sales and expense the offsetting tax expense to cost of goods sold.

| Contingencies | Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the 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.
AMMO is defending two contract arbitration cases with adverse former employees. The first one involved an employee terminated for cause who is seeking contract wages and stock that was earned but clawed back upon his termination. In that case, the Company received a favorable ruling on a partial motion for summary judgment wherein the arbitrator ruled the employee had refused to return funds he received as reimbursement for invoices he never paid. The arbitrator, thus, granted the Company’s partially dispositive motion. The remaining claims went to an arbitration hearing in late September 2023. No decision has yet been rendered.
The second case involved an employee who was terminated without cause wherein the former employee is seeking contract wages, commissions and allegedly earned common stock. The Company also received notice in October 2022 that an OSHA whistleblower complaint had been filed with the US Department of Labor by that same employee that had been terminated for cause. The regulatory filing was received after AMMO refused to capitulate to the former employee’s demands. AMMO has produced documents and submitted its position statement to OSHA and the matter is currently pending at the agency level. AMMO uncovered additional information through work with counsel and investigators and a supplemental response was provided to OHSA on or about July 10, 2023. The Company and the employee agreed to arbitrate the case.
On April 30, 2023, Director and Stockholder Steve Urvan filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company, certain Directors, former directors, employees, former employees and consultants. Urvan’s complaint alleges fraudulent misrepresentation in connection with the Company’s acquisition of GunBroker.com and certain affiliated companies. Urvan seeks relief in the form of a Court order for partial rescission of the Merger and compensatory damages. The Company and the individual defendants believe that the claims are without merit and have moved to dismiss Urvan’s complaint. The Company has also filed a separate lawsuit against Urvan in the Delaware Court of Chancery alleging, among other things, that Urvan committed fraud in connection with the GunBroker.com sale and that Urvan breached his indemnification obligations to AMMO after the sale. On September 11, 2023, the Court of Chancery consolidated the Company’s lawsuit against Urvan with Urvan’s lawsuit against the Company and the individual defendants. On September 20, 2023, AMMO filed an amended complaint that added a new fraudulent inducement claim and a claim for violation of the Arizona Securities Act. Urvan has moved to dismiss AMMO’s affirmative claims. The Court of Chancery has scheduled a hearing on both motions to dismiss in the consolidated action for December 18, 2023.
The Company received an assessment from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”) for penalties related to excise tax filings in prior fiscal years. A request for abatement was submitted on May 22, 2023, which was subsequently denied by the TTB. An appeals conference is scheduled with the TTB for this matter in October of 2023.
We have accrued for contingencies totaling approximately $1.1 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023. There were no other known contingencies at September 30, 2023. |
