NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2025
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 –PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On May 3, 2024, the SEC entered an order instituting settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”) and its sole audit partner, Benjamin F. Borgers CPA, permanently barring Mr. Borgers and Borgers (collectively, “BF Borgers”) from appearing or practicing before the SEC as an accountant (the “Order”). As a result of the Order, BF Borgers may no longer serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor can BF Borgers issue any audit reports included in Commission filings or provide consents with respect to audit reports.
As reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 6, 2024, in light of the Order, the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company on May 6, 2024, unanimously approved to dismiss, and dismissed BF Borgers as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
On May 14, 2024, the Committee approved the engagement of GBQ Partners LLC (“GBQ”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and the reaudits of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
The Company filed its Form 10-K/A with the reaudits of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 with the SEC on January 29, 2025.
The Company has included the comparative three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 in this filing, and the impact of any adjustments to the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 have been included in the three months ended September 30, 2024 Form 10-Q. The individual prior periods impacted by these adjustments have not been restated due to the undue burden it would place on the Company. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity/(deficit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and the accompanying notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include the impact of any adjustments to the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 and should not be relied upon.
NOTE 2 –ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Company was incorporated on December 15, 2014, under the laws of the State of Nevada, as CubeScape, Inc. Effective January 5, 2017, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed its name to American Rebel Holdings, Inc. On June 19, 2017, the Company completed a business combination with its majority stockholder, American Rebel, Inc. As a result, American Rebel, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Nature of Operations
The Company develops and sells branded products in the self-defense, safe storage and other patriotic product areas using a wholesale distribution network, utilizing personal appearances, musical venue performances, as well e-commerce and television. The Company’s products are marketed under the American Rebel Brand and are proudly imprinted with such branding. Through its “Champion Entities” (which consists of Champion Safe Co., Inc., Superior Safe, LLC, Safe Guard Security Products, LLC, and Champion Safe De Mexico, S.A. de C.V.), the Company promotes and sells its safe and storage products through a growing network of dealers, in select regional retailers and local specialty safe, sporting goods, hunting and firearms retail outlets, as well as through online avenues, including website and e-commerce platforms. The Company sells its products under the Champion Safe Co., Superior Safe Company and Safe Guard Safe Co. brands as well as the American Rebel Brand. On August 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Master Brewing Agreement (the “Brewing Agreement”) with Associated Brewing Company, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Associated Brewing”). Under the terms of the Brewing Agreement, Associated Brewing has been appointed as the exclusive producer and seller of American Rebel branded spirits, with the initial product being the American Rebel Light Beer (“American Rebel Beer”). The Company established American Rebel Beverages, LLC as a wholly-owned subsidiary to hold the licenses with respect to the beer business. American Rebel Beer launched in 2024.
To varying degrees, the development of geopolitical conflicts, supply chain disruptions, government actions to slow rapid inflation in recent years and predictable sales cycles have produced varying effects on the business. The economic effects from these events over the long term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Accordingly, estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements, including those associated with the evaluation of certain long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, expected credit losses on amounts owed to the Company (through accounts receivable) and the estimations of certain losses assumed under warranty and other liability contracts, may be subject to significant adjustments in future periods.
Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the SEC set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read along with the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2024, and notes thereto contained, filed on April 9, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, American Rebel, Inc., American Rebel Beverages, LLC, the Champion Entities, and ARH Sub, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“ARH Sub”) formed in June 2025 to facilitate the Streeterville Capital Note (see Note 11). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Year-end
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of amounts held in separate accounts that are legally or contractually restricted as to use. These restrictions may relate to collateral requirements, escrow arrangements, or other specific purposes and are not available for general operating activities. Restricted cash is included in the reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows, in accordance with ASC 230.
Inventory and Inventory Deposits
Finished goods inventory primarily consists of backpacks, jackets, and related accessories, safes, and packaged beer available for sale. Raw materials primarily consists of component parts used in the assembly of safes and packaging materials. Apart from safes, the Company’s finished goods are manufactured or otherwise produced by outside parties to the Company’s specifications. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost (First-in, First-out Method) or net realizable value. The Company determines an estimate for the reserve of slow moving or obsolete inventories by regularly evaluating individual inventory levels, projected sales and current economic conditions. From time-to-time, the Company makes deposit payments on certain inventory purchases that are presented separately in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as inventory deposits until the goods are received into inventory.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements are capitalized while ordinary maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which ranges from five to fifteen years for equipment. Depreciation for the building acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2025 was not material.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: (1) Identify the contract with a client; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation.
These steps are met when an order is received, a price is agreed to, and the product is shipped or delivered to that customer. Additionally, the Company offers extended warranties for the locking mechanism of its safes, which are separately purchased by customers. Warranty income is recognized over time based on the estimated useful life of the locks, which approximates 10 years. Unrecognized warranty income is presented as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Warranty income recognized was not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for bad debts and expected credit losses, as necessary, that reflects management’s best estimate of the amount that will not be collected. This estimation takes into consideration historical experience, current conditions and, as applicable, reasonable supportable forecasts. Actual results could vary from the estimate. Accounts are charged against the allowance when management deems them to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $233,000 and $315,000 at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Net accounts receivable was $721,207, $1,170,944 and $2,674,540 at September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2024, respectively.
The following table sets forth the approximate percentage of revenue by primary category:
| For the Three Months Ended September 30, · For the Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Percentage of revenue · 2025 · 2024 · 2025 · 2024 | ||||||
| Safes | 90.0% | 97.5% | 94.3% | 98.2% | ||
| Soft goods | 2.4% | 1.6% | 1.5% | 1.6% | ||
| Beverages | 5.0% | 0.9% | 3.3% | 0.2% | ||
| Other | 2.6% | - | % | 0.9% | - | % |
| Total | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | ||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.
Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.
Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718, which requires the Company to recognize expense related to the grant date fair value of its employee stock awards. The Company recognizes the cost of employee share-based awards over the requisite service period, which represents the vesting period of the award. Stock-based compensation primarily relates to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock awards.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from non-employees in accordance with ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by ASC 505-50.
Earnings Per Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by ASC 260 - Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year and the effect of pre-funded warrants issued. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. Because the Company incurred net losses for each of the years presented, the effect of dilutive securities, excluding pre-funded warrants, have been excluded as the effect on EPS is antidilutive.
Fully diluted shares outstanding is the total number of shares that the Company would theoretically have if all dilutive securities were exercised and converted into shares. Dilutive securities include options, warrants, convertible debt, preferred stock and anything else that can be converted into shares. Potential dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of dilutive securities, calculated using the treasury stock method. The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding excludes out-of-the-money options (i.e., such options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares for the period) because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
| Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Shares used in computation of basic earnings per share for the year ended | 147,436 | 576 |
| Pre-funded warrants | 13,772 | - |
| Total denominator | 161,208 | 576 |
| Net loss | $(5,230,027) | $(1,747,957) |
| Fully diluted loss per share | $(32.44) | $(3,032.24) |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Shares used in computation of basic earnings per share for the year ended | 237,133 | 1,456 |
| Pre-funded warrants | 13,772 | - |
| Total denominator | 250,905 | 1,456 |
| Net loss | $(28,427,026) | $(9,702,239) |
| Fully diluted loss per share | $(113.30) | $(6,664.86) |
In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be antidilutive.
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC Topic 740 for recording provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the changes in the asset or liability for each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income tax in the period of change. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, no income tax expense has been recorded given significant losses incurred and resulting valuation allowance on such losses.
Deferred income tax may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standard has not had a material effect on the Company. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months and maintains sufficient net operating loss carryforwards in the event uncertain tax positions are identified. As necessary, the Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense.
Leases
ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as a Right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability and requires leases to be classified as either an operating or a finance type lease. The standard excludes leases of intangible assets or inventory. The Company elected the practical expedient related to treating lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all equipment leases as well as electing a policy exclusion permitting leases with an original lease term of less than one year to be excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities.
Under ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
Operating leases are included in operating lease Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, current and non-current, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company hadno financing leases as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rental income totaled $33,829 for three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and is presented within revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This update modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification to conform with certain SEC amendments in Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively, and the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or S-K becomes effective. However, if the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Concentration Risk
The Company did not have any vendor or customer concentrations as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
NOTE 3 –GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above, the Company is in the growth and acquisition stage and, accordingly, has not yet reached profitability from its operations. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in financing activities and executing its plan of operations and incurring costs and expenses related to product development, branding, inventory buildup and product launch. As a result, the Company has continued to incur significant net losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 of ($5,230,027) and ($28,427,026), respectively. The Company’s accumulated deficit was ($93,513,226) as of September 30, 2025 and ($65,086,200) as of December 31, 2024. The Company’s working capital deficit was $(17,650,023) as of September 30, 2025, compared to a working capital deficit of $(8,940,228) as of December 31, 2024.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise capital from the sale of its equity and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues and profitability.
Management believes that sufficient funding can be secured through the obtaining of loans, as well as future offerings of its preferred and common stock. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will obtain this additional working capital, or if obtained, that such funding will not cause substantial dilution to its existing stockholders. As indicated in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements, most of the current debt instruments are charging high interest rates. These interest payments and/or premium repayments and prepayments may make it difficult for the Company to enter into new debt agreements. If the Company is unable to secure such additional funds from these sources, it may be forced to change or delay some of its business objectives and efforts. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 –PREPAID EXPENSE
Prepaid expenses include the following:
| September 30, 2025 · December 31, 2024 | |||

| Total prepaid expense | $1,322,225 | $311,878 | |
Prepaid expenses represent payments or stock issuances made by the Company for which the related benefits will be recognized in future periods. These amounts are expensed over the periods in which the benefits are expected to be realized. Prepaid expenses are classified as current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE 5 –INVENTORY
Inventory and deposits include the following:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| (Unaudited) | (Audited) | |
| Inventory – raw materials | $1,436,968 | $1,966,395 |
| Inventory – finished goods | 2,375,175 | 2,870,781 |
| Less reserve for excess and obsolete inventory | (256,983) | (281,865) |
| Total Inventory | $3,555,160 | $4,555,311 |
The Company accounts for excess and obsolete inventory with a reserve that is established based on management’s estimates of the net realizable value of the related products. These reserves are product specific and are based upon analyses of product lines that are slow moving or expected to become obsolete due to significant product enhancements.
When inventory is physically disposed of, the Company accounts for the write-offs by making a debit to the reserve and a credit to inventory for the standard cost of the inventory item. The valuation reserve is applied as an estimate to specific product lines. Since the inventory item retains its standard cost until it is either sold or written off, the reserve estimates will differ from the actual write-off. There wereno material write-offs or inventory reserves during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Included in finished goods is approximately $353,000 and $162,000 in finished products related to our American Rebel branded beer lager as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. This inventory is immediately available to the consumer and for distribution.

NOTE 7 – INVESTMENTS
218 LLC
On September 15, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests of 218 LLC, a limited liability company whose sole asset is a 20,829 square foot, four-story commercial retail building located at 218 3rd Avenue North, Nashville, Tennessee (the “Property”). The total purchase price for the acquisition was $14,100,000, payable in a combination of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, cash, and a promissory note. The Property is presented within Property and Equipment, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Rental income earned from the Property was not material for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 280,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, valued at $7.50 per share ($2,100,000 in aggregate), to acquire 30% of the membership interests in 218 LLC. The Company also agreed to pay the Seller $300,000 in three non-refundable $100,000 installments, each payment acquiring an additional 1% of the membership interests. The remaining $11,700,000 of the purchase price was funded through a 12-month promissory note bearing interest at 6% per annum. The Seller may, from time to time, convert portions of principal and interest under the note into Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, which may subsequently be converted into common stock and applied toward the note balance, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation. Any conversion of the promissory note balance would result in additional membership interests in 218 LLC being issued to the Company.
The Company also agreed to issue an additional 18,800 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, valued at $141,000, as a convenience fee. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
Minority Investment in RAEK Data, LLC
On September 30, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with RAEK Data, LLC (“RAEK”) to acquire a 3% minority membership interest in RAEK. As consideration, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, valued at $7.50 per share, for an aggregate transaction value of $1,500,000. The investment was accounted for as an equity method acquisition, with the acquired interest recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. The investment provides the Company with additional exposure to data and analytics capabilities supporting its brand and marketing strategy.
Minority Investment in Schmitty’s Herbal Snuff and Pouches
On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Sydona Enterprises, LLC, doing business as Schmitty’s Herbal Snuff and Pouches (“Schmitty’s”), to acquire a 19.01% ownership interest. The consideration for the investment consisted of 21,308 shares of common stock and a prefunded warrant to purchase 59,160 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, valued in total at approximately $1,990,000. This strategic investment provides the Company with a platform to participate in the growing smokeless market and expand its portfolio under the “America’s Patriotic Brand” umbrella.
Damon Note Purchase Agreement
On August 22, 2025, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the “NPA”) with Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Streeterville”), for the purchase by the Company of a portion of a certain $6,470,000 secured promissory note dated June 26, 2024 (the “Damon Note”) in Damon, Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Damon”) held by Streeterville. Damon is a public company, registered as a foreign private issuer with the SEC, with its common shares traded on the OTCID Basic Market under the symbol “DMNIF”.
Upon the terms and conditions set forth in the NPA, Streeterville sold, transferred and assigned to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase from Streeterville, $2,000,000 of the Damon Note in consideration for the issuance to Streeterville of 2,000 shares of the Company’s newly authorized Series E Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share. In the event the Company’s common stock is ever delisted from Nasdaq, Streeterville will have the right to repurchase the portion of the purchased Damon Note from the Company in exchange for cancellation of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock.
The Damon Note is secured by certain collateral of Damon as set forth in the transaction documents between Streeterville and Damon. The Company and Streeterville agreed that the security interest held in the collateral by Streeterville will be held pari passu for benefit of both parties. Any and all rights, benefits and proceeds of the collateral will be shared pro rata by the Company and Streeterville (based on the then-outstanding balances of the Damon Note and the portion of the Damon Note purchased by the Company). Any decision regarding when, how and whether to pursue collections or other actions against Damon will be determined by Streeterville in consultation with the Company. The Company covenanted and agreed that it will not pursue any collections or other action against Damon without Streeterville’s consent.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company, in connection with various employment and independent directors’ agreements, is required to issue shares of its common stock as payment for services performed or to be performed. The value of the shares issued is determined by the fair value of the Company’s common stock that trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market. This value on the date of grant is afforded to the Company for the recording of stock compensation to employees and other related parties or control persons and the recognition of this expense over the period in which the services were incurred or performed. Most of the Company’s agreement for stock compensation provide for services performed to have been satisfied by the initial grant, thereby incurring the cost immediately from the grant.
Stock-based compensation is presented in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under the provisions of ASC 718, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our statements of operations. Where the stock-based compensation is not an award, option, warrant or other common stock equivalent, the Company values the shares based on fair value with respect to its grant date and the price that investors may have been paying for the Company’s common stock on that date in its various exempt private placement offerings. Stock-based compensation expense totaled $163,078 and $(1,985,936) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and primarily relates to the aforementioned Series A preferred stock awards. Stock-based compensation expense totaled $491,203 and $492,189 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and primarily relates to the aforementioned Series A preferred stock awards.
Taxable value of the stock-based compensation is recorded in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service’s regulations as it pertains to employees, control persons and others whereby they receive share-based payments. This may not always align with what the Company records these issuances in accordance with GAAP. There are no provisional tax agreements or gross-up provisions with respect to any of our share-based payments to these entities. The payment or withholding of taxes is strictly left to the recipient of the share-based payments, or the modification of share-based payments.

Management believes that this lawsuit is without merit; however has initiated settlement discussions with Liberty and anticipates an amicable settlement to be forthcoming. At this time, Management does not believe a settlement with Liberty will have a material effect on its business or financial condition.

Contractual Obligations
The Company does not believe there are any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 there were no outstanding letters of credit issued during the normal course of business.
Nasdaq Compliance
As previously disclosed, on February 19, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “Notification Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) because the stockholders’ equity of the Company as of September 30, 2024, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on February 7, 2025, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).
Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, the Company had 45 calendar days (until April 7, 2025), to submit a plan to evidence compliance with the Rule (a “Compliance Plan”). The Company submitted a Compliance Plan within the required time and amended it subsequently to provide additional information to Nasdaq.
On June 11, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq accepting the Compliance Plan and granting an extension through August 18, 2025 to evidence compliance with the Rule.
On August 20, 2025, the Company received a subsequent notice from Nasdaq citing continued non-compliance with the Rule due to insufficient stockholders’ equity. The Company requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which was held on September 30, 2025. On October 20, 2025, the Panel granted a conditional extension to continue the Company’s Nasdaq listing, requiring the Company to demonstrate compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by November 15, 2025.
In the event the Company fails to evidence compliance within the extension period, the Company will have the right to a hearing before Nasdaq’s Hearing Panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.
Executive Employment Agreements and Independent Contractor Agreements
The Company has written employment agreements with various other executive officers. All payments made to its executive officers and significant outside service providers are analyzed and determined by the board of directors’ compensation committee; some payments made to independent contractors (or officer payments characterized as non-employee compensation) may be subject to backup withholding or general withholding of payroll taxes, may make the Company responsible for the withholding and remittance of those taxes. Generally outside service providers are responsible for their own withholding and payment of taxes. Certain state taxing authorities may otherwise disagree with that analysis and Company policy.
NOTE 16 –SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance.
The Company views its operations and manages its business asone operating segment engaged in patriotic goods comprised of safes, soft goods, and beer. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as the CODM, regularly reviews the entity-wide financial and operational performance as a single unit. No financial information is disaggregated into separate lines of business. The CODM makes resource allocation and business process decisions regarding the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy the resources.
The single segment’s principal measure of segment profit and loss is consolidated revenue, gross margin, and total operating expenses. The CODM considers actual and forecasted numbers when evaluating performance.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections. We may use words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “position,” “intend,” “target,” “plan,” “seek,” “believe,” “foresee,” “outlook,” “estimate” and variations of these words and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | our ability to maintain compliance with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq; |
| ● | the effect of new tariffs on our business and financial condition; |
| ● | we consummated the purchase of our safe manufacturer and sales organizations, and future acquisitions and operations of new manufacturing facilities and/or sales organizations might prove unsuccessful and could fail; |
| ● | risk that we will not be able to remediate identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; |
| ● | our failure to timely file certain periodic reports with the SEC and our prior restatements have had, and may in the future have further, material adverse consequences to our business, our financial condition, results of operations and our cash flows; |
| ● | our success depends on our ability to introduce new products that track customer preferences; |
| ● | if we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may lose a competitive advantage or incur substantial litigation costs to protect our rights; |
| ● | as a significant portion of our revenues are derived by demand for our safes and the personal security products for firearms storage, we depend on the availability and regulation of ammunition and firearm storage; |
| ● | as we continue to integrate the purchase of our safe manufacturer and sales organization, any compromised operational capacity may affect our ability to meet the demand for our safes, which in turn may affect our generation of revenue; |
| ● | shortages of components and materials, as well as supply chain disruptions, may delay or reduce our sales and increase our costs, thereby harming our results of operations; |
| ● | we do not have long-term purchase commitments from our customers, and their ability to cancel, reduce, or delay orders could reduce our revenue and increase our costs; |
| ● | our inability to effectively meet our short- and long-term obligations; |
| ● | given our limited corporate history, it is difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects, and increases the risks associated with an investment in our securities; |
| ● | our inability to raise additional financing for working capital; |
| ● | our ability to generate sufficient revenue in our targeted markets to support operations; |
| ● | significant dilution resulting from our financing activities; |
| ● | the actions and initiatives taken by both current and potential competitors; |
| ● | our ability to diversify our operations; |
| ● | the fact that our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we report our financial condition and results of operations, and they may require management to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain; |
| ● | changes in U.S. GAAP or in the legal, regulatory and legislative environments in the markets in which we operate; |
| ● | the deterioration in general of global economic, market and political conditions; |
| ● | the inability to efficiently manage our operations; |
| ● | the inability to achieve future operating results; |
| ● | the unavailability of funds for capital expenditures; |
| ● | the inability of management to effectively implement our strategies and business plans; and |
| ● | the other risks and uncertainties detailed in this report. |
Because the factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and their emergence is impossible for us to predict. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
This Quarterly Report should be read completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report and should be evaluated with consideration of any changes occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
