NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Basis of presentation
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was audited and appears in the Form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2024. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, changes in stockholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related information contained in these notes have been prepared by management without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as of June 30, 2024 and for all periods presented have been made. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for a full year. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company's Form 10-K.
Note 2 - Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods. Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of inventory. In assessing the inventory value, the Company must make estimates and judgments regarding reserves required for product obsolescence, aging of inventory and other issues potentially affecting the saleable condition of products. In performing such evaluations, the Company utilizes historical experience as well as current market information. The reserve for obsolescence was $
Note 3 - Operating Leases - Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liability Obligations
The Company has three non-cancelable operating leases, for office and warehousing space, that expires in February 2025, February 2025 and January 2027, respectively. Rent expense for these operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
Below is a summary of the Company's Operating Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Note 7 - Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company's products are sold worldwide to a global network of distributors and dealers, and directly to consumers when there are no dealers or distributors in their geographic area or where consumers choose to purchase directly via the Company's e-commerce website (collectively the "customers").
Revenues from product sales are recognized when earned, net of applicable provisions for discounts and returns and allowances in the event of product defect where no exchange of product is possible. Revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied as evidenced by transfer of control of promised goods to the Company's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Product royalty income, representing less than
The Company's standard distributor payment terms range from pre-payment in full to 60 days after shipment and subsequent sales of product by distributors have no effect on the amount and timing of payments due to the Company, however, in limited instances qualified distributors and dealers may be granted extended payment terms during selected order periods. In performing such evaluations, the Company utilizes historical experience, sales performance, and credit risk requirements. Furthermore, products purchased by distributors may not be returned to the Company in the event that any such distributor relationship is terminated.
Since the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) serves as the distributor of Leatt products in the United States, the Company records its revenue and related cost of revenue for its product sales in the United States upon shipment of the merchandise to the dealer or to the ultimate consumer when there is no dealer in the geographic area or the consumer chooses to purchase directly from the Company's e-commerce website and the sales order was received directly from, and paid by, the ultimate consumer. Since the Company (through its South African branch) serves as the distributor of Leatt products in South Africa, the Company records its revenue and related cost of revenue for its product sales in South Africa upon shipment of the merchandise from the branch to the dealer. The Company's standard terms and conditions of sale for non-consumer direct or web-based sales do not allow for product returns other than under warranty.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 sales totalling $
International sales (other than in the United States and South Africa) are generally drop-shipped directly from the Company's consolidation warehouse or the third-party manufacturer to the international distributors. Revenue and related cost of revenue is recognized at the time of shipment from the manufacturer's port when the shipping terms are Free On Board ("FOB") shipping point, Cost and Freight ("CFR") or Cost and Insurance to named place ("CIP") as legal title and risk of loss to the product pass to the distributor. Sales to all customers (distributors, dealers and consumers) are generally final; however, in limited instances, product may be returned and exchanged due to product quality issues. Historically, returns due to product quality issues have not been material and there have been no distributor terminations that resulted in product returns. Cost of revenues also includes royalty fees associated with sales of Leatt-Brace products. Product royalty income is recorded as the underlying product sales occur, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements.
In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by the source of revenue:
| Six months ended June 30, | ||||||||||||
| 2024 | % of Revenues | 2023 | % of Revenues | |||||||||
| Consumer and athlete direct revenues | $ | $ | ||||||||||
| Dealer direct revenues | ||||||||||||
| International distributor revenues | ||||||||||||
| $ | $ | |||||||||||
The Company reviews the reserves for customer returns at each reporting period and adjusts them to reflect data available at that time. To estimate reserves for returns, the Company estimates the expected returns and claims based on historical rates as well as events and circumstances that indicate changes to historical rates of product returns and claims. Historically, returns due to product quality issues have not been material and there have been no distributor terminations that resulted in product returns. The provision for estimated returns at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. Credit is granted to substantially all distributors on an unsecured basis. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected credit losses determined utilizing historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. In determining the amount of the allowance, the Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions. Accounts receivable balances that are still outstanding after the Company used reasonable collection efforts are written off as uncollectible. While such credit losses have historically been minimal, within the Company's expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any of the Company's significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the collectability of the Company's accounts receivable and future operating results. The allowance for short-term doubtful accounts at June 30, 2024 was $
Sales commissions are expensed when incurred, which is generally at the time of sale, because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in commissions and consulting expenses within operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Shipping and handling activities associated with outbound freight, after control over a product has transferred to a customer, are accounted for as a fulfilment cost and are included in revenues and cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is recorded net of sales taxes, value added taxes, or similar taxes that are collected on behalf of local taxing authorities.
Note 8 - Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes included taxes currently payable, if any, plus the net change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded by the Company.
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("Standard"), which provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained upon an examination by tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, the standard provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties; accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition, and any amounts when incurred would be recorded under these provisions.
The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.
Note 9 - Net Income Per Share of Common Stock
Basic net income per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common stock shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had
Note 10 - Common Stock
Stock-based compensation expense related to vested restricted stock awards during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $
Note 11 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted - In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard is intended to provide greater transparency in various income tax components that affect the rate reconciliation based on the applicable taxing jurisdictions, as well as the qualitative and quantitative aspects of those components. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The Company evaluated all ASU's issued by the FASB for consideration of their applicability. ASU's not included in the Company's disclosures were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Note 12 - Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings involving product liability and personal injury and intellectual property litigation. The Company is insured against loss for certain of these matters. The Company will record contingent liabilities resulting from asserted and unasserted claims against it when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company will disclose contingent liabilities when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded liability. While the outcome of currently pending litigation is not yet determinable, the ultimate exposure with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained. However, based on the information currently available to the Company, the Company does not expect that any liabilities or costs that might be incurred to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.
Note 13 - Risks and Uncertainties
The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on global shipping and supply chains which caused a disruption in our customers' ordering patterns and ultimately inflated certain industry wide stock levels. This was further compounded by the global economic slowdown experienced worldwide due to a high inflationary environment and geo-political instability. Elevated industry wide inventory levels and adverse economic conditions compounded by resultant foreign exchange rate volatility may continue to impact levels of dealer and distributor ordering and ultimately consumer spending in the foreseeable future, which may affect the Company's profitability, and could have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations for the coming periods and beyond.
Note 14 - Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were released.

Overview of Our Business
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 11, 2005, under the name Treadzone, Inc. We were a shell company with little or no operations until March 1, 2006, when we acquired the exclusive global manufacturing, distribution, sale and use rights to the Leatt-Brace®, pursuant to a license agreement between the Company and Xceed Holdings, a company controlled by the Company's Chairman and founder, Dr. Christopher Leatt. On May 25, 2005, we changed our name to Leatt Corporation in connection with our anticipated acquisition of the Leatt-Brace® rights. Leatt designs, develops, markets and distributes personal protective equipment for participants in all forms of motor sports and leisure activities, including riders of motorcycles, bicycles, snowmobiles and ATVs. The Company sells its products to customers worldwide through a global network of distributors and retailers. Leatt also acts as the original equipment manufacturer for personal protective equipment sold by other international brands.
The Company's flagship products are based on the Leatt-Brace® system, a patented injection molded neck protection system owned by Xceed Holdings, designed to prevent potentially devastating injuries to the cervical spine and neck. The Company has the exclusive global manufacturing, distribution, sale and use rights to the Leatt-Brace®, pursuant to a license agreement between the Company and Xceed Holdings, a company owned and controlled by the Company's Chairman and founder, Dr. Christopher Leatt. The Company also has the right to use apparatus embodying, employing and containing the Leatt-Brace® technology and has designed, developed, marketed and distributed other personal protective equipment using this technology, as well as its own developed technology, including the Company's body protection products, and helmets which it markets under the Leatt® brand.
The Company's research and development efforts are conducted at its research facilities, located at its executive headquarters in Cape Town, South Africa. The Company employs 4 full-time employees who are dedicated exclusively to research, development, and testing. The Company also utilizes consultants, academic institutions and engineering companies as independent contractors or consultants, from time to time, to assist it with its research and development efforts. Leatt products have been tested and reviewed internally and by external bodies. All Leatt products are compliant with applicable European Union directives, or CE certified, where appropriate. Depending on the market we have other certifications outside of CE. Specifically, all our motorcycle helmets comply with Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) UN Regulation No. 22 r06, and our bicycle helmet complies with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) EN-1078 standard. For the US market, our motorcycle helmets comply with the US Department of Transportation (DOT) FMVSS 218 helmet safety standard and our bicycle helmet complies with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) 1203 standard for helmet safety.

Our products are predominately manufactured in China in accordance with our manufacturing specifications, pursuant to outsourced manufacturing arrangements with third-party manufacturers located there, based on agreed terms. We continue to build manufacturing capacity outside China, namely, in Thailand and Bangladesh. The Company utilizes outside consultants and its own employees to ensure the quality of its products through regular on-site product inspections. Products sold to our international customers are usually shipped directly from our consolidation warehouse or manufacturers' warehouses to customers or their import agents.
Leatt earns revenues through the sale of its products through approximately 49 distributors worldwide, who in turn sell its products to retailers. Leatt distributors are required to follow certain standard business terms and guidelines for the sale and distribution of Leatt products. Two Eleven and Leatt SA directly distribute Leatt products to dealers and direct to end consumers through digital channels in the United States and South Africa, respectively.
Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance
We believe that the following factors will continue to affect our financial performance:
12
Trade Restrictions - We engage in international manufacturing and sales which exposes us to trade restrictions and disruptions that could harm our business and competitive position. Most of our products are manufactured in China, and the U.S. administration has announced tariffs on certain products imported into the United States with China as the country of origin. While these tariffs have not had a significant impact on the shipment of our products to international markets as at June 30, 2024, we believe that the future imposition of, or significant increases in, the level of tariffs, custom duties, export quotas and other barriers and restrictions by the U.S. on China or other countries could disrupt our supply chain, increase the cost of our raw materials and therefore our pricing, and impose the burdens of compliance with foreign trade laws, any of which could potentially affect our bottom line and sales. While we are in continuous discussions with our manufacturers to ensure there are contingencies in place, we cannot assure you that we will not be adversely affected by changes in the trade laws of foreign jurisdictions where we sell and seek to sell our products.
Fuel Prices - Significant fluctuations in fuel prices could have both a positive and negative effect on our business and operations. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from international sales and significant fluctuations in world fuel prices could significantly increase the price of shipping or transporting our products which we may not be able to pass on to our customers. On the other hand, fluctuations in fuel prices lead to higher commuter costs which may encourage the increased use of motorcycles and bicycles as alternative modes of transportation and lead to an increase in the market for our protection products.
Product Liability Litigation - We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims arising from the claimed failure of our products to help prevent the types of personal injury or death against which they are designed to help protect. Therefore, we have acquired very costly product liability insurance worldwide. We have not experienced any material uninsured losses due to product liability claims, but it is possible that we could experience material losses in the future. After a two-week trial in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (Eastern) ending on April 17, 2014, a federal jury returned a defense verdict for the Company in the first Leatt-Brace® product liability lawsuit to be tried in the United States. The plaintiffs in that case had alleged that defective product design and failure to warn had caused a motocross rider to suffer multiple mid-thoracic spine fractures, causing immediate and permanent paraplegia, when he crashed at a relatively low speed on February 13, 2011. When the accident occurred, he was wearing a helmet and other safety gear from several different companies, including the Company's acclaimed Leatt-Brace®. The Company produced evidence at trial showing that his thoracic paraplegia was an unavoidable consequence of his fall, not the result of wearing a Leatt-Brace®, and that the neck brace likely saved his life (or saved him from quadriplegia) by preventing cervical spine injury. The Company had maintained from the onset that this and a small handful of other lawsuits are without merit and that it would vigorously defend itself in each case. In this case, the plaintiffs subsequently appealed the court's decision, and the parties reached an amicable settlement. Although we carry product liability insurance, a successful claim brought against us could significantly harm our business and financial condition and have an adverse impact on our ability to renew our product liability insurance or secure new coverage.
Protection of Intellectual Property - We believe that the continued success of our business is dependent on our intellectual property portfolio consisting of globally registered trademarks, design patents and utility patents related to the Leatt-Brace®. We believe that a loss of these rights would harm or cause a material disruption to our business and, our corporate strategy is to aggressively take legal action against any violators of our intellectual property rights, regardless of where they may be. From time to time, we have had to enforce our intellectual property rights through litigation, and we may be required to do so in the future. Such litigation may result in substantial costs and could divert resources and management attention from the operations of our business.
Fluctuations in Foreign Currencies - We are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and consolidated results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in foreign currency as we translate these currencies into U.S. dollars when we consolidate our financial results. While our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, a portion of our consolidated revenues are denominated in South African Rand, or ZAR, certain of our assets are denominated in ZAR, and our research and marketing operations in South Africa utilize South African labor sources. A decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the ZAR could increase our cost of doing business in South Africa. If the ZAR depreciates against the U.S. Dollar, the value of our ZAR revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. Dollar financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk. Furthermore, since 63% of our sales are derived outside the U.S., where the U.S. dollar is not the primary currency, significant fluctuations in exchange rates such as the strengthening of the dollar versus our customers' local currency can adversely affect our ability to remain competitive in those areas.
Natural or Man-made Catastrophic Events - We are exposed to natural or man-made catastrophic events that may disrupt our business and may reduce consumer demand for our products. A disruption or failure of our systems or operations in the event of a natural disaster, health pandemic, such as the outbreak and global spread of COVID-19 or the coronavirus, or a man-made catastrophic event could cause delays in completing sales, continuing production, or performing other critical functions of our business, particularly if a catastrophic event occurred at our primary manufacturing locations or our distributor locations worldwide. Any of these events could severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations and, as a result, our operating results could be adversely affected. There may also be secondary impacts that are unforeseeable, such as impacts on our consumers and on consumer purchasing behavior, which could cause delays in new orders, delays in completing sales or even order cancellations. The continued mutation and spread of deadly viruses, economic headwinds caused by global quarantines, or the occurrence of any other catastrophic events, could have a negative impact on our sales revenue for the coming period and beyond.

Revenues - We earn revenues from the sale of our protective gear comprising of neck braces, body armor, helmets and other products, parts and accessories both in the United States and abroad. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $10.08 million, a 18% decrease, compared to $12.35 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This decrease in worldwide revenues is attributable to a $2.09 million decrease in helmet sales and a $0.44 million decrease in other products, part and accessory sales, that were partially offset by a $0.21 million increase in body armor sales and a $0.05 million increase in neck brace sales. Revenues generated from sales to our customers in the United States increased from $3.42 million to $3.73 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenues associated with international customers were $6.34 million and $8.93 million, or 63% and 72% of revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Although, consumer direct sales increased by 19% and dealer direct sales increased by 14% for the second quarter of 2024, sales to our global distributors decreased by 33%, when compared to the second quarter of 2023 as our distributors continued to manage constrained ordering and industry wide stocking dynamics.

Sales of our flagship neck brace accounted for $0.59 million and $0.54 million, or 6% and 4% of our revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 9% increase in neck brace revenues is primarily attributable to a 10% increase in the volume of neck braces sold when compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Our body armor products are comprised of chest protectors, full upper body protectors, upper body protection vests, back protectors, knee braces, knee and elbow guards, off-road motorcycle boots and mountain biking shoes. Body armor sales accounted for $5.58 million and $5.38 million, or 55% and 43% of our revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 4% increase in body armor revenues was primarily the result of a 45% increase in revenues generated on the sale of upper body and limb protection during the second quarter of 2024, that was partially offset by a 49% decrease in the volume of footwear, comprising of motorcycle boots and mountain biking shoes, sold during the 2024 period, as our distribution partners continued to digest inventory.
Our helmet sales accounted for $1.43 and $3.52 million or 14% and 29% of our revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 59% decrease in helmet sales during the 2024 second quarter is primarily attributable to a 64% decrease in the volume of MOTO helmets sold when compared to the second quarter of 2023, which was an exceptionally strong period globally for MOTO helmet sales. MOTO helmet sales volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 had increased by 141% when compared to the prior year period. Our distributors continue to adjust ordering patterns as inventory levels stabilize.
Our other products, parts and accessories are comprised of goggles, hydrations bags and apparel items including jerseys, pants, shorts and jackets as well as aftermarket support items required primarily to replace worn or damaged parts through our global distribution network. Other products, parts and accessories sales accounted for $2.47 million and $2.91 million, or 25% and 24% of our revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Although revenues generated on the sale of MTB technical apparel increased by 63% and we continued to ship orders of ADV technical apparel to our customers globally, the 15% decrease in revenues from the sale of other products, parts and accessories during the 2024 second quarter, was primarily due to a 30% decrease in the sales volume of MOTO technical apparel, designed for motorcycle use during the 2024 period.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit - Cost of revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $6.16 million and $7.01 million, respectively. Gross Profit for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $3.92 million and $5.34 million, respectively, or 39% and 43% of revenues, respectively. Our neck brace products continue to generate a higher gross profit margin than our other product categories. Although neck brace revenues accounted for 6% and 4% of our revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the 4% decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to short term dealer and consumer direct promotional selling opportunities that were implemented on affected categories in the United States and South Africa as the Company continues to manage industry wide stocking dynamics at the dealer and distributor level. Although demand for our products and participation remains strong, the Company continues to seek opportunities to turn over less current, slower moving inventory categories as we move closer to more sustainable inventory levels.
Product Royalty Income - Product royalty income is earned on sales to distributors that have royalty agreements in place, as well as on sales of licensed products by third parties that have licensing agreements in place. Product royalty income for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $92,780 and $10,248, respectively. The 805% increase in product royalty income is due to an increase in the sale of licensed products by licensees during the 2024 period.
Salaries and Wages - Salaries and wages for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $1,608,372 and $1,228,491, respectively. The 31% increase in salaries and wages during the 2024 period was primarily due to the employment of professional sales, marketing and key account management personnel in the United States and abroad, as the Company continues to build focused, multi-channel and multi-discipline distribution globally.
Commissions and Consulting Expense - During the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, commissions and consulting expenses were $165,601 and $110,925, respectively. The 49% increase in commissions and consulting expenses is primarily the result of an increase in consulting expenditures incurred as the Company continues to streamline regional taxation and operating processes globally.
Professional Fees - Professional fees consist of costs incurred for audit, tax and regulatory filings, as well as patent protection and product liability litigation expenses incurred as the Company continues to expand. Professional fees for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $120,617 and $111,785, respectively. The 8% increase in professional fees is primarily due to an increase in legal fees incurred as the Company continues to develop and expand its global credit and operational capabilities.
Advertising and Marketing - The Company places paid advertising in various motorsport and bicycle magazines and online media and sponsors a number of events, professional teams and individuals to increase product and brand visibility globally. Advertising and marketing expenses for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $1,183,282 and $863,378, respectively. The 37% increase in advertising and marketing expenditures during the 2024 period is primarily due to continued strong investment in the production and implementation of marketing campaigns designed to promote the Company's brand and expanding product categories to a wider rider audience, that now includes Adventure riders, globally.
16
Office Lease and Expenses - Office lease and expenses for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $163,190 and $161,572, respectively. The 1% increase in office lease and expenses during the 2024 period is primarily due to annual rental escalations that were partially offset by a decrease in additional warehouse storage rented in the United States, and a decrease in office lease rental expenditures due to the purchase of the Company's head office facility in Cape Town, South Africa.
Research and Development Costs - These costs consist of the salaries of personnel who are directly involved in the research and development of innovative products, as well as the direct costs associated with developing these products. Research and development costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, decreased to $628,793, from $632,968, during the same 2023 quarter. The 1% decrease in research and development costs during the 2024 second quarter is primarily as a result of a decrease in external product development costs incurred, that was partially offset by an increase in staff costs relating to the employment of design and engineering staff during the 2024 period as the Company continues to build on its internal design and engineering capacity.
Bad Debt Expense (Recovery) - Bad debt expense (recovery) for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $314 and ($230,616), respectively. The 100% increase in bad debt expense (recovery) is the result of a decrease in bad debts recovered during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, when compared to the comparative 2023 period.
General and Administrative Expenses - General and administrative expenses consist of insurance, travel, merchant fees, telephone, office and computer supplies. General and administrative expenses for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $977,160 and $868,595, respectively. The 12% increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in domestic property insurance and merchant fees associated with an increase in consumer direct sales, as the Company continues to intensify its online presence.
Depreciation Expense - Depreciation expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $297,250 and $292,374, respectively. The 2% increase in depreciation during the 2024 second quarter is primarily due to software enhancements utilized to improve consumer engagement and buying activity across the Company's web-based selling platforms.
Total Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses increased by $1.11 million, to $5.14 million, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, or 27%, compared to $4.04 million in the 2023 period. This increase is primarily due to increases in salaries, advertising and marketing costs and a decrease in bad debts recovered during the 2024 period.
Net Income (Loss) - The net loss after income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $1,057,363, as opposed to a net income after income taxes of $776,139 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This 236% decrease in net income is primarily due to the decrease in revenues and margins and the increase in expenditures discussed above.

Revenues - We earn revenues from the sale of our protective gear comprising of neck braces, body armor, helmets and other products, parts and accessories both in the United States and internationally. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $20.69 million, a 19% decrease, compared to $25.43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease in worldwide revenues is attributable to a $3.52 million decrease in helmet sales, a $1.13 million decrease in body armor sales and a $0.17 million decrease in neck brace sales that were partially offset by a $0.09 million increase in other products, part and accessory sales. Revenues generated from sales to our customers in the United States increased from $7.32 million to $7.61 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenues associated with international customers were $13.09 million and $18.11 million, or 63% and 71% of revenues, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Although, consumer direct sales increased by 17% and dealer direct sales increased by 11% for the first six months of 2024, sales to our global distributors decreased by 32%, when compared to the first six months of 2023 as our distributors continued to order conservatively in the context of industry wide inventory dynamics.

Sales of our flagship neck brace accounted for $1.15 million and $1.32 million, or 6% and 5% of our revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 13% decrease in neck brace revenues is primarily attributable to a 4% decrease in the volume of neck braces sold, when compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.
Our body armor products are comprised of chest protectors, full upper body protectors, upper body protection vests, back protectors, knee braces, knee and elbow guards, off-road motorcycle boots and mountain biking shoes. Body armor sales accounted for $10.61 million and $11.74 million, or 51% and 47% of our revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Although revenues generated on the sale of upper body and limb protection increased by 7% during the first six months of 2024, the 10% decrease in body armor revenues was primarily the result of a 41% decrease in the volume of footwear, comprising of motorcycle boots and mountain biking shoes, sold during the 2024 period. Footwear has been a particularly constrained category due to post-Covid stocking dynamics on an industry-wide basis.
Our Helmets accounted for $3.13 million and $6.65 million, or 15% and 26% of our revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The 53% decrease in helmet sales during the 2024 period is primarily attributable to a 65% decrease in the volume of MOTO and MTB helmets sold to our international customers during the 2024 period, when compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, as our distributors continue to manage elevated inventory levels in the context of post-Covid dynamics.
Our other products, parts and accessories are comprised of goggles, hydration bags and apparel items including jerseys, pants, shorts and jackets as well as aftermarket support items required primarily to replace worn or damaged parts through our global distribution network. Other products, parts and accessories sales accounted for $5.80 million and $5.71 million, or 28% and 22% of our revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Although sales volumes of our MOTO and MTB technical apparel lines, designed for motorcycle and mountain biking use, respectively, decreased by 29% during the first six months of 2024, the 2% increase in revenues from the sale of other products, parts and accessories is primarily due to strong shipments of ADV technical apparel line designed for Adventure motorcycle riding during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit - Cost of revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $12.76 million and $14.31 million, respectively. Gross Profit for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $7.93 million and $11.12 million, respectively, or 38% and 44% of revenues respectively. Our neck brace products continue to generate a higher gross margin than our other product categories. Although neck brace revenues accounted for 6% and 5% of our revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the 6% decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily due to specific consumer and dealer direct promotional selling opportunities that were pursued in the United States and South Africa as the Company continues to manage industry wide stocking dynamics at the dealer and distributor level. A drive to offer short term promotions that are market related and provide the opportunity to move less current inventory along with strong demand for our products and continued strong participation have contributed to our inventory reaching more sustainable levels.
Product Royalty Income - Product royalty income is earned on sales to distributors that have royalty agreements in place, as well as on sales of licensed products by third parties that have licensing agreements in place. Product royalty income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $132,083 and $23,384, respectively. The 465% increase in product royalty income is due to an increase in the sale of licensed products by licensees during the 2024 period.
Salaries and Wages - Salaries and wages for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $3,176,643 and $2,469,927, respectively. The 29% increase in salaries and wages during the 2024 period was primarily due to the employment of professional sales, marketing and key account management professionals in the United States and abroad as the Company continues to invest in building and expanding a diversified global multi-channel selling operation.
19
Commissions and Consulting Expense - During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, commissions and consulting expenses were $289,817 and $207,249. This 40% increase in commissions and consulting expenses during the 2024 period is primarily due to an increase in consulting expenditures incurred as the Company continues to streamline domestic and international sales taxation and operating processes.
Professional Fees - Professional fees consist of costs incurred for audit, tax and regulatory filings, as well as patent protection and product liability litigation expenses incurred as the Company continues to expand. Professional fees for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $419,588 and $449,028, respectively. This 7% decrease in professional fees is primarily due to a decrease in patent maintenance costs incurred during the 2024 period that was partially offset by an increase in legal fees incurred as the Company continues to develop its global credit and operational capabilities.
Advertising and Marketing - The Company places paid advertising in various motorsport magazines and online media, and sponsors a number of events, teams and individuals to increase product and brand visibility. Advertising and marketing expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $2,075,699 and $1,704,472, respectively. The 22% increase in advertising and marketing expenditures during the 2024 period is primarily due to continued strong investment in the production and implementation of marketing campaigns designed to promote brand recognition and the Company's expanding product categories to a wider rider audience, that now includes Adventure riders, globally. Additionally, direct expenditures on incentives designed to increase customer sales increased, when compared to the prior year period.
Office Lease and Expenses - Office lease and expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $314,744 and $311,812, respectively. The 1% increase in office lease and expenses during the 2024 period was primarily due to annual rental escalations, that were partially offset by a decrease in additional warehouse storage rented in the United States and a decrease in office lease rental expenditures incurred due to the purchase of the Company's head office facility in Cape Town, South Africa.
Research and Development Costs - These costs for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, decreased to $1,184,571, from $1,217,959, during the same 2023 period. The 3% decrease in research and development costs during the 2024 period is primarily due to decrease in external product development and homologation costs incurred, that were partially offset by an increase in staff costs relating to the employment of design and engineering staff during the 2024 period as the Company continues to invest in building a strong innovative pipeline of products.
Bad Debt Expense (Recovery) - Bad debt expense (recovery) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $10,278 and ($181,221), respectively. This increase in bad debt expense (recovery) during the 2024 period is primarily the result of a decrease in bad debts recovered during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the 2023 comparative period.
General and Administrative Expenses - General and administrative expenses consist of insurance, travel, merchant fees, telephone, office and computer supplies. General and administrative expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $1,920,048 and $1,686,744, respectively. The 14% increase in general and administrative expenses during the 2024 period is primarily due to an increase in domestic property insurance and merchant fees associated with an increase in consumer direct sales, as the Company continues to intensify its online selling activities. Additionally, travel costs increased as the Company intensified its selling and activation activities in the United States.
Depreciation Expense - Depreciation Expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $591,384 and $572,184, respectively. This 3% increase in depreciation during the 2024 period is primarily due to software enhancements utilized to improve consumer engagement and buying activity across the Company's web-based and digital selling platforms.
Total Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses increased by $1.54 million to $9.98 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, or 18%, compared to $8.44 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. This increase in total operating expenses is primarily due to increases in salaries, general and administrative and advertising and marketing costs and a decrease in bad debts recovered during the 2024 period.
Net Income (Loss) - Net loss after taxes for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was $1.87 million, compared to net income after taxes of $1.80 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. This decrease in net income (loss) during the 2024 period is primarily due to the decrease in revenues and margins and the increase in expenditures discussed above.

Cash increased by $1.98 million, or 17%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, when compared to cash on hand at December 31, 2023. The primary sources of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were a decrease in inventory of $5,681,721 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,235,162. The primary uses of cash for the six-months ended June 30, 2024 were a net loss of $1,874,042, a decrease in account payable of $1,984,795 and the repayment of short term loans totaling $735,363.
The Company is currently meeting its working capital needs through cash on hand, a revolving line of credit with a bank, as well as internally generated cash from operations. Management believes that its current cash and cash equivalent balances, along with the net cash generated by operations are sufficient to meet its anticipated operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. There are currently no plans for any major capital expenditures in the next twelve months. Our long-term financing requirements depend on our growth strategy, which relates primarily to our desire to increase revenue both in the U.S. and abroad.
Obligations under Material Contracts
Pursuant to our Licensing Agreement with Xceed Holdings, a company controlled by Dr. Christopher Leatt, our founder, chairman and head of research and development, we pay Xceed Holdings 4% of all neck brace sales revenue billed and received by the Company on a quarterly basis based on sales of the previous quarter. During the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid an aggregate of $24,689 and $34,857, in licensing fees to Xceed Holdings. In addition, pursuant to a separate license agreement between the Company and Mr. J. P. De Villiers, our former director, the Company is obligated to pay a royalty fee of 1% of all our billed and received neck brace sales revenue, in quarterly installments, based on sales of the previous quarter, to a trust that is beneficially owned and controlled by Mr. De Villiers. During the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid an aggregate of $6,184 and $8,714, in licensing fees to Mr. De Villiers.
Dr. Christopher Leatt is compensated in his capacity as our Research and Development consultant, pursuant to our Consulting Agreement, dated November 8, 2021, with Innovation Services Limited, or Innovation, a Jersey limited company in which, Dr. Leatt is an indirect beneficiary. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Innovation has agreed to serve as the Company's exclusive research, development and marketing consultant, in exchange for a monthly fee; provided, however, that Dr. Leatt must remain an Innovation director and beneficiary of a majority of its ownership interests during the term of the agreement, and Dr. Leatt must remain the Company's primary point of contact responsible for the oversight, review and delivery of the services to be performed by Innovation under the agreement. From January 1 through June 30, 2023, the monthly fee payable by the Company to Innovation was $44,371, and July 1, 2023, this monthly fee increased to $45,463, and commencing July 1, 2024, this fee increased to $ 47,072. Innovation may increase its monthly fees, on an annual basis on written notice to the Company, by no greater than the lesser of: (a) five percent (5%) of the prior year's annualized fee; or (b) a percentage equal to then-applicable annual percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the United States Department of Labor's bureau of labor statistics, plus one-half percent (0.5%). The parties further agreed that all intellectual property generated in connection with the services provided under the consulting agreement will be the sole property of the Company. The term of the Consulting Agreement will continue unless terminated by either party in accordance with its terms. Either party may terminate the Consulting Agreement upon 6 months' prior written notice, except that the Company may immediately terminate it without notice if the services to be performed by Innovation cease to be performed by Dr. Leatt, if beneficial ownership in Innovation by Dr. Leatt's and his immediate family members decreases, or for any other material breach of the agreement. The parties have agreed to settle any dispute under the Consulting Agreement by submission to JAMS for final and binding arbitration pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules. The Company also simultaneously entered into a side letter agreement, dated November 8, 2021, with Dr. Leatt, pursuant to which Dr. Leatt agreed, among other things: (1) not to perform services similar to the services provided under the agreement for any current or future, direct or indirect competitor of the Company or any similar company; (2) not to solicit any current or future employees of the Company for employment with Innovation or any other entity with which he may become affiliated, or to contact or solicit any current or future stockholder or investor of the Company in connection with any matter that is not directly related to the ongoing or future business operations of the Company; and (3) that he will apprise the Company of any business opportunity that he becomes aware of that could benefit the Company so that the Company, can in its sole discretion, make a determination regarding whether to pursue such opportunity in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Dr. Leatt further agreed to continue dedicating a majority of his time on matters related to performance of his duties as a director of the Company and to the fulfillment of his obligations to the Company's research and development efforts under the consulting agreement, and the Company will have the right to adjust the amount of the fees payable under the consulting agreement to the extent of any substantial diminution in his fulfillment of such duties and obligations. The foregoing agreements replaced prior agreements in force from June 2018 to November 2021, among the Company, Dr. Leatt and Innovate Services Limited, a Seychelles company, beneficially owned by Dr. Leatt, that wound up operations. The foregoing description of the Consulting Agreement and Side Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Consulting Agreement and the Side Letter Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and are incorporated by reference in this report. During the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized an aggregate of $136,442 and $113,114, respectively, in consulting fees to Innovation.
21

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We have identified the following as the items that require the most significant judgment and often involve complex estimation: revenue recognition, estimating allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, leases and accounting for income taxes.
22
Revenue and Cost Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 "Revenues from Contracts with Customers". As such the Company has and will continue to review its performance obligations in terms of material customer contractual arrangements in order to verify that revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied on a periodic basis.
All manufacturing of Leatt products is performed by third party subcontractors that are predominately based in China.
The Company's products are sold worldwide to a global network of distributors and dealers, and directly to consumers when there are no dealers or distributors in their geographic area or where consumers choose to purchase directly via the Company's e-commerce website (collectively the "customers").
Revenues from product sales are recognized when earned, net of applicable provisions for discounts and returns and allowances in the event of product defect where no exchange of product is possible. Revenues are recognized when our performance obligations are satisfied as evidenced by transfer of control of promised goods to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Product royalty income, representing less than 1% of total revenues, is recorded as the underlying product sales occur, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements.
Our standard distributor payment terms range from pre-payment in full to sixty (60) days after shipment and subsequent sales of our products by distributors have no effect on the amount and timing of payments due to us, however, in limited instances, qualified distributors and dealers may be granted extended payment terms during selected order periods. In performing such evaluations, the Company utilizes historical experience, sales performance, and credit risk requirements. Furthermore, products purchased by distributors may not be returned to the Company in the event that any such distributor relationship is terminated.
Since the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) serves as the distributor of Leatt products in the United States, the Company records its revenue and related cost of revenue for its product sales in the United States upon shipment of the merchandise to the dealer or to the ultimate consumer when there is no dealer in the geographic area or the consumer chooses to purchase directly from the Company's e-commerce website and the sales order was received directly from, and paid by, the ultimate consumer. Since the Company (through its South African branch) serves as the distributor of Leatt products in South Africa, the Company records its revenue and related cost of revenue for its product sales in South Africa upon shipment of the merchandise from the branch to the dealer. The Company's standard terms and conditions of sale for non-consumer direct or web-based sales do not allow for product returns other than under warranty.
Sales totaling $31,671 and $31,671 were deferred as all the requirements to have a contract with the customer in accordance with ASC 606 had not been met as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The shipped goods associated with these deferred sales are included in the caption deferred asset, net of an allowance for potential loss of $6,400 and $6,400 for June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
International sales (other than in the United States and South Africa) are generally drop-shipped directly from our consolidation warehouse or third-party manufacturer to the international distributors. Revenue and related cost of revenue is recognized at the time of shipment from the manufacturer's port when the shipping terms are Free On Board ("FOB") shipping point, Cost and Freight ("CFR") or Cost and Insurance to named place ("CIP") as legal title and risk of loss to the product pass to the distributor. Sales to all customers (distributors, dealers and consumers) are generally final; however, in limited instances, product may be returned and exchanged due to product quality issues. Historically, returns due to product quality issues have not been material and there have been no distributor terminations that resulted in product returns. Cost of revenues also includes royalty fees associated with sales of Leatt-Brace products. Product royalty income is recorded as the underlying product sales occur, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements.
The Company reviews the reserves for customer returns at each reporting period and adjusts them to reflect data available at that time. To estimate reserves for returns, the Company estimates the expected returns and claims based on historical rates as well as events and circumstances that indicate changes to historical rates of product returns and claims. Historically, returns due to product quality issues have not been material and there have been no distributor terminations that resulted in product returns. The provision for estimated returns at June 30, 2024 and 2023 were $0 and $0, respectively.
Sales commissions are expensed when incurred, which is generally at the time of sale or cash received from customers, because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in commissions and consulting expenses within operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Shipping and handling activities associated with outbound freight, after control over a product has transferred to a customer, are accounted for as a fulfilment cost and are included in revenues and cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
23
Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is recorded net of sales taxes, value added taxes, or similar taxes that are collected on behalf of local taxing authorities.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable - Accounts receivable consist of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. Credit is granted to distributors on an unsecured basis based on credit risk analysis procedures. We continuously monitor both credit reports and collections, communication and payments from customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected credit losses determined utilizing historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. In determining the amount of the allowance, we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions. Accounts receivable balances that are still outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off as uncollectible. While such credit losses have historically been minimal, within our expectations and the provisions established, macro-economic conditions and customer financial positions are fluid, and we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have had in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any of our significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the collectability of our accounts receivable and our future operating results. The allowance for short-term doubtful accounts at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was 671,115 and $662,612, respectively. Additionally, an allowance for long-term doubtful accounts will be included for accounts receivables that are anticipated to be collected over a period that is greater than 12 months. The allowance for long-term doubtful accounts at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $19,985 and $26,929, respectively.
Inventory Valuation - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods. Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of inventory. In assessing the inventory value, we make estimates and judgments regarding reserves required for product obsolescence, aging of inventory and other issues potentially affecting the saleable condition of products. In performing such evaluations, we utilize historical experience as well as current market information. The reserve for obsolescence at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $199,138 and $227,528, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Our long-lived assets include property and equipment. We evaluate our long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. In evaluating an asset for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flow expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition. If the expected future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss, equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset, is recognized. We have determined there were no impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Operating Leases - The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. Operating leases are included in the right-of-use assets ("ROU''), and lease liability obligations are included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset of the lease term and lease liability obligations represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and lease direct costs. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income Taxes - As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income tax provision (benefit) in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our current income tax provision (benefit) together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets. We regularly evaluate our ability to recover the reported amount of our deferred income taxes considering several factors, including our estimate of the likelihood of the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years during the period over which the temporary differences reverse.

Note 2 - Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods. Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of inventory. In assessing the inventory value, the Company must make estimates and judgments regarding reserves required for product obsolescence, aging of inventory and other issues potentially affecting the saleable condition of products. In performing such evaluations, the Company utilizes historical experience as well as current market information. The reserve for obsolescence was $199,138 at June 30, 2024 and $227,528 at December 31, 2023. |

| Operating Leases - Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liability Obligations [Text Block] |
Note 3 - Operating Leases - Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liability Obligations The Company has three non-cancelable operating leases, for office and warehousing space, that expires in February 2025, February 2025 and January 2027, respectively. Rent expense for these operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. Below is a summary of the Company's Operating Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company recognized $145,689 and $145,194, respectively, in operating lease expenses, which are included in office lease and expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Generally, the Company's lease agreements do not specify an implicit rate. Therefore, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate, which is defined as the interest rate the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis, considering such factors as length of lease term and the risks of the economic environment in which the leased asset operates. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 the following disclosures for the remaining lease terms and incremental borrowing rates were applicable:
Maturities of lease liabilities as of June 30, 2024 were as follows:

| Revenue and Cost Recognition [Text Block] |
Note 7 - Revenue and Cost Recognition The Company's products are sold worldwide to a global network of distributors and dealers, and directly to consumers when there are no dealers or distributors in their geographic area or where consumers choose to purchase directly via the Company's e-commerce website (collectively the "customers"). Revenues from product sales are recognized when earned, net of applicable provisions for discounts and returns and allowances in the event of product defect where no exchange of product is possible. Revenues are recognized when performance obligations are satisfied as evidenced by transfer of control of promised goods to the Company's customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Product royalty income, representing less than 1% of total revenues, is recorded as the underlying product sales occur, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements. The Company's standard distributor payment terms range from pre-payment in full to 60 days after shipment and subsequent sales of product by distributors have no effect on the amount and timing of payments due to the Company, however, in limited instances qualified distributors and dealers may be granted extended payment terms during selected order periods. In performing such evaluations, the Company utilizes historical experience, sales performance, and credit risk requirements. Furthermore, products purchased by distributors may not be returned to the Company in the event that any such distributor relationship is terminated. Since the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) serves as the distributor of Leatt products in the United States, the Company records its revenue and related cost of revenue for its product sales in the United States upon shipment of the merchandise to the dealer or to the ultimate consumer when there is no dealer in the geographic area or the consumer chooses to purchase directly from the Company's e-commerce website and the sales order was received directly from, and paid by, the ultimate consumer. Since the Company (through its South African branch) serves as the distributor of Leatt products in South Africa, the Company records its revenue and related cost of revenue for its product sales in South Africa upon shipment of the merchandise from the branch to the dealer. The Company's standard terms and conditions of sale for non-consumer direct or web-based sales do not allow for product returns other than under warranty. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 sales totalling $31,671 and $31,671 were deferred, respectively, as all of the requirements to have a complete contract with certain customers in accordance with ASC 606 had not been met at such respective date. The shipped goods associated with these deferred sales are included in the caption deferred asset in the balance sheet, net of an allowance for potential loss amounting to $6,400 and $6,400 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 respectively. International sales (other than in the United States and South Africa) are generally drop-shipped directly from the Company's consolidation warehouse or the third-party manufacturer to the international distributors. Revenue and related cost of revenue is recognized at the time of shipment from the manufacturer's port when the shipping terms are Free On Board ("FOB") shipping point, Cost and Freight ("CFR") or Cost and Insurance to named place ("CIP") as legal title and risk of loss to the product pass to the distributor. Sales to all customers (distributors, dealers and consumers) are generally final; however, in limited instances, product may be returned and exchanged due to product quality issues. Historically, returns due to product quality issues have not been material and there have been no distributor terminations that resulted in product returns. Cost of revenues also includes royalty fees associated with sales of Leatt-Brace products. Product royalty income is recorded as the underlying product sales occur, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements. In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by the source of revenue:
The Company reviews the reserves for customer returns at each reporting period and adjusts them to reflect data available at that time. To estimate reserves for returns, the Company estimates the expected returns and claims based on historical rates as well as events and circumstances that indicate changes to historical rates of product returns and claims. Historically, returns due to product quality issues have not been material and there have been no distributor terminations that resulted in product returns. The provision for estimated returns at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $0, and $0, respectively. Accounts receivable consist of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. Credit is granted to substantially all distributors on an unsecured basis. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based upon the expected credit losses determined utilizing historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. In determining the amount of the allowance, the Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions. Accounts receivable balances that are still outstanding after the Company used reasonable collection efforts are written off as uncollectible. While such credit losses have historically been minimal, within the Company's expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates as in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any of the Company's significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the collectability of the Company's accounts receivable and future operating results. The allowance for short-term doubtful accounts at June 30, 2024 was $671,115 and at December 31, 2023 was $662,612. Additionally, an allowance for long-term doubtful accounts will be included for accounts receivables that are anticipated to be collected over a period that is greater than 12 months. The allowance for long-term doubtful accounts at June 30, 2024 was $19,985 and at December 31, 2023 was $26,929. Sales commissions are expensed when incurred, which is generally at the time of sale, because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in commissions and consulting expenses within operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Shipping and handling activities associated with outbound freight, after control over a product has transferred to a customer, are accounted for as a fulfilment cost and are included in revenues and cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is recorded net of sales taxes, value added taxes, or similar taxes that are collected on behalf of local taxing authorities. |

| Income Taxes [Text Block] |
Note 8 - Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes included taxes currently payable, if any, plus the net change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded by the Company. The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("Standard"), which provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only if the position is more likely than not of being sustained upon an examination by tax authorities. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, the standard provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties; accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition, and any amounts when incurred would be recorded under these provisions. The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. |

Note 11 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted - In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard is intended to provide greater transparency in various income tax components that affect the rate reconciliation based on the applicable taxing jurisdictions, as well as the qualitative and quantitative aspects of those components. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company evaluated all ASU's issued by the FASB for consideration of their applicability. ASU's not included in the Company's disclosures were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

| Litigation [Text Block] |
Note 12 - Litigation In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings involving product liability and personal injury and intellectual property litigation. The Company is insured against loss for certain of these matters. The Company will record contingent liabilities resulting from asserted and unasserted claims against it when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company will disclose contingent liabilities when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded liability. While the outcome of currently pending litigation is not yet determinable, the ultimate exposure with respect to these matters cannot be ascertained. However, based on the information currently available to the Company, the Company does not expect that any liabilities or costs that might be incurred to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company. |

Note 13 - Risks and Uncertainties The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on global shipping and supply chains which caused a disruption in our customers' ordering patterns and ultimately inflated certain industry wide stock levels. This was further compounded by the global economic slowdown experienced worldwide due to a high inflationary environment and geo-political instability. Elevated industry wide inventory levels and adverse economic conditions compounded by resultant foreign exchange rate volatility may continue to impact levels of dealer and distributor ordering and ultimately consumer spending in the foreseeable future, which may affect the Company's profitability, and could have a negative impact on the Company's results of operations for the coming periods and beyond. |
