AMERICAN REBEL HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

 

The “Company” was incorporated on December 15, 2014 (date of inception) 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. The Company completed a business combination with its majority stockholder, American Rebel, Inc. on June 19, 2017. As a result, American Rebel, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

The acquisition of American Rebel, Inc. was accounted for as a reverse merger. The Company issued 17,421,000 shares of its common stock and issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock to shareholders of American Rebel, Inc. and cancelled 9,000,000 shares of common stock owned by American Rebel, Inc.

 

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2015. Twenty six (26) investors invested at a price of $0.01 per share for a total of $60,000. The direct public offering closed on December 11, 2015.

 

Nature of operations

 

The Company is developing branded products in the self-defense and patriotic product areas that are promoted and sold using personal appearance, music, internet and television avenues. The Company’s products will be under the American Rebel Brand and imprinted.

 

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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by 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, 2016 and notes thereto contained. And the Current Report filed on Form 8-K of the Company dated June 19, 2017.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary. 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.

 

Inventory and Inventory Deposits

 

Inventory consists of backpacks, jackets and accessories manufactured to our design and held for resale and are carried at the lower of cost (First-in, First-out Method) or market value. The Company determines the estimate for the reserve for slow moving or obsolete inventories by regularly evaluating individual inventory levels, projected sales and current economic conditions. The Company also makes deposit payments on inventory to be manufactured that are carried separately until the goods are received into inventory.


9


Fixed assets and depreciation

 

Property and equipment is 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 by the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which ranges from five to seven years.

 

Investment

 

During June 2016, American Rebel, Inc. purchased a 60% controlling interest in the Company with the intent to merge. The merger was completed on June 19, 2017 and has been accounted for as a reverse merger with comparative financial history being that of American Rebel, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary.

 

Revenue recognition

 

We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the product or service has been provided to the consumer; (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the consumer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of our fees or product revenue is probable.

 

The Company will record revenue when it is realizable and earned and product has been shipped to the consumers or that our service has been rendered to the consumer. License income will be reported as income when the Company has completed any responsibility to earn the income and when any earned royalties are received.

 

Advertising costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred; Marketing costs incurred were $96,789 and $122,981 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $282,382 and $294,428, respectively, for the nine month periods then ended.

 

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet 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.

 

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, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “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 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.


10


The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB 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 FASB ASC 505-50.

 

During June, 2017, and prior to the merger, the Company recorded $1,400,000 in compensation expense for the issuance of 2,800,000 shares of common stock. During July, 2017 the Company recorded $59,000 in interest expense and $66,000 in loan discount for the issuance of 250,000 shares of common stock in connection with a working capital loan. During August 2017, the Company recorded $50,000 in prepaid expense for the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock in connection with purchase of an exclusive trade show booth space. The common stock was valued at a price of $0.50 per share consistent with earlier sales of common stock by American Rebel, Inc. as well as the present conversion price of the Company’s convertible debentures.

 

Earnings per share

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for 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. 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. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.

 

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.

 

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.

 

The Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, no income tax expense has been recorded.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Recent pronouncements

 

The Company evaluated recent accounting pronouncements through September 30, 2017 and believes that none have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements except for the following.


11


In August, 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entities Ability to continue as a Going Concern. The standard is intended to define management's responsibility to decide whether there is substantial doubt about an organization's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The standard requires management to decide whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The standard provides guidance to an organization's management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations in the footnotes. The standard becomes effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. Management's evaluations regarding the events and conditions that raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern are disclosed in Note 2 below.

 

In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date. In 2014 FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provided a framework for addressing revenue recognition issues and replaces almost all existing revenue recognition guidance in current U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is for companies to recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also resulted in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improve guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition guidance to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted to the original effective date (December 15, 2016), including interim periods within that reporting period. Management is evaluating the future impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto.

 

In August 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements. The Company previously reported that in April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments in ASU 2015-15 address the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements such that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. ASU 2015-15 and ASU 2015-03 are effective for financial statements of public business entities issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The amendments in this ASU require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined; calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Amendments clarifying guidance in Topic 205, Risks and Uncertainties, are applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principal operations, which we have commenced recently.

 

NOTE 2 – 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 development stage and, accordingly, has not yet generated significant revenues from operations. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in financing activities and executing its business plan of operations and incurring costs and expenses related to developing products and market identity, obtaining inventory and preparing for public product launch. As a result, the Company incurred net income (losses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 of ($2,527,232) and ($976,986) , respectively. The Company’s accumulated deficit was ($4,870,249) as of September 30, 2017 and ($2,343,017) as of December 31, 2016. The Company’s working capital deficit was ($355,083) as of September 30, 2017 and a deficit of ($915,455) as of December 31, 2016. In addition, the Company’s development activities since inception have been sustained through equity and debt financing and the deferral of payments on accounts payable and other expenses.


12


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 operating revenues. Management believes sufficient funding can be secured through the obtaining of loans, as well as future offerings of its preferred and common stock to institutional and other financial sources. 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 its stockholders. If the Company is unable to secure such additional funds from these sources, it may be forced to change or delay its business plan rollout.

 

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 result from this uncertainty.

NOTE 6 –RELATED PARTY NOTE PAYABLE AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company received loans from its sole officer and director totaling $221,155. The balance at December 31, 2016 was $221,155. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the company repaid $117,005 of these loans resulting in a balance at September 30, 2017 of $104,150. These loans are due on demand and carry no interest.


13


During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company entered into several convertible debt instruments with stockholders in the amount of $1,075,000, for a total of $1,675,000. The Company accrued interest expense on this convertible debt of $116,915, for a total of $135,427 at September 30, 2017. Of this amount borrowed under the convertible debt, $1,633,787 was loaned to American Rebel, Inc., the Company’s former majority stockholder and now the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, as a working capital loan to pay its operating expenses including legal, accounting, product development, brand expansion, and marketing costs. The majority stockholder also used the proceeds of these loans to purchase inventory of its initial product scheduled to launch during 2017. This loan is eliminated in consolidation.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company acquired three vehicles from various related parties and assumed the debt secured by each one of the vehicles. Accordingly, the recorded value for each vehicle is the total debt assumed under each related loan, or a total of $277,886. (See Note 7 – Notes Payable.)

 

Charles A. Ross, Jr. serves as the Company’s sole officer and director. Compensation for Mr. Ross was $150,000 and $142,500, respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and $187,500 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Mr. Ross received a grant of 1,000,000 shares of American Rebel, Inc. common stock, valued at $0.50 per share in June 2017, prior to the acquisition. These shares were part of the 6,500,000 shares exchanged for Company common stock in the acquisition of American Rebel, Inc. completed on June 19, 2017.

NOTE 8 – NOTES PAYABLE – WORKING CAPITAL

 

On July 6, 2017, the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary completed the sale of a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 with an interest rate of 12% per annum to a private investor, and current stockholder. The note is secured by a pledge of all of the Company’s current inventory and the chief executive officer’s personal guaranty. This working capital note requires payments equal to 75% of current sales and matures in 180 days. In connection with this note, the Company issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to the noteholder valued at $0.50 per share for a total of $125,000. The fair value of the common stock issued was recorded as a discount to the note payable. The discount will be amortized over the term of the agreement to interest expense using the straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method. As of September 30, 2017, the discounted outstanding balance due on the working capital note was $183,355, including discount of $66,000.

NOTE 9- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE – RELATED PARTY

 

Since September 16, 2016, the Company sold convertible debentures in the amount of $1,675,000 in the form of 12% three year convertible term notes. Interest is accrued at an annual rate of 12% and is payable in common stock at maturity. Both principal and interest may be converted into common stock at a price of $0.50 per share after the passage of 181 days. The Company may redeem the debenture at its option or force conversion after common stock trades at a price in excess of $1.00 per share for five days. The Holder may force redemption after the Company raises $3 million dollars in equity. The holders of the convertible debentures were issued three year warrants to purchase 1,675,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. As of September 30, 2017, the Company received $1,675,000 under this convertible debenture. The Company received an additional $410,000 in October and November 2017 (see Note 12 – Subsequent Events).

 

The convertible debenture holder, based on its agreement, with maturities beginning September 16, 2019 has the option to convert their principal and interest into 3,350,000 (plus 270,855 for accrued interest) shares of common stock. The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature resulted in no discount to the convertible debenture – related party at September 30, 2017.

 

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and fair value measurement under ASC 820 and determined that the beneficial conversion feature under the convertible debenture should be recorded as a discount to debt if market was more than the conversion feature.

 

The convertible debenture - related party is measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period or termination of the debenture agreement with the change in fair value recorded to earnings. The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature did not result in a discount to the convertible debenture - related party. The discount if and when we have one will be amortized over the term of agreement or modification to the agreement to interest expense using the straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method.

 

The Company used the eight steps to determine fair value under ASC 820. (1) Identify the item to be valued and the unit of account. (2) Determine the principal or most advantageous market and the relevant market participants. (3) Select the valuation premise to be used for asset measurements. (4) Consider the risk assumptions applicable to liability measurements. (5) Identify available inputs. (6) Select the appropriate valuation technique(s). (7) Make the measurement. (8) Determine amounts to be recognized and information to be disclosed.

 

Fair value was determined by the market price of the Company’s publicly traded stock with no discount allowed. This was determined as of the effective date of the agreement entered convertible debenture - related party. The conversion price was then compared to fair value, determined by market price and the difference between the two multiplied by the number of shares that would be issued upon conversion. The Company has not had any market activity within its public market. Private transactions between willing buyers and willing sellers have ranged from $0.02 to $0.50 per share. These transactions were not conducted through a broker dealer network.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding balance due the convertible debentures holders was $1,675,000, including $0 in original issue discount or interest.

 

NOTE 10 – EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Since September 2016 the Company entered into a financial instrument, which consists of a convertible debenture, containing a conversion feature. Generally financial instruments are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock; at prices that are either marked to the volume weighted average price of the Company’s publicly traded stock or a static price determinative from each financial instrument agreement. These prices may be at a significant discount to market as determined overall by the volume weighted average price of the Company’s publicly traded common stock. The Company for all intent and purposes considers these discounts to be fair market value as would be determined in an arm’s length transaction with a willing buyer and the restrictive nature of the common stock issued, unless issued pursuant to a registration or some other registered shares with the SEC.

 

The Company accounts for the fair value of the conversion feature in accordance with ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging; Embedded Derivatives, which requires the Company to bifurcate and separately account for the conversion features as an embedded derivative contained in the Company’s convertible debt and original issue discount notes payable. The Company is required to carry the embedded derivative on its balance sheet at fair value and account for any unrealized change in fair value as a component in its results of operations. The Company valued the embedded derivatives using eight steps to determine fair value under ASC 820. (1) Identify the item to be valued and the unit of account. (2) Determine the principal or most advantageous market and the relevant market participants. (3) Select the valuation premise to be used for asset measurements. (4) Consider the risk assumptions applicable to liability measurements. (5) Identify available inputs. (6) Select the appropriate valuation technique(s). (7) Make the measurement. (8) Determine amounts to be recognized and information to be disclosed.


15


The fair value of the conversion feature of the financial instrument as of September 30, 2017 was $0. The Company did not record any expense associated with the embedded derivatives at September 30, 2017. No embedded derivative expense was realized as there was no change in the conversion price. The conversion price for this financial instrument was $0.50 per share which is higher than market as there have been no sales of the Company’s common stock.

 

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of $4,870,249 and $2,343,017, respectively, which begins to expire in 2034.

Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $1,704,587 and $820,056, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax asset, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not deferred tax assets will not be realized as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and recognized 100% valuation allowance for each period.

NOTE 12 – SHARE CAPITAL

 

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock and 1,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value preferred stock.

 

Common stock

 

On December 15, 2014, the Company issued to its founder, then an officer and director of the Company, 6,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock at a price of $0.001 per share for services provided upon organization. The services were valued at $6,000.

 

On January 15, 2015, the Company issued to its founder 3,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock at a price of $0.008 per share for certain intangible assets and tangible assets (see Note 3 - Intangible Assets). Mr. David Estus, then our sole officer and director, incurred more than $50,000 in developing or acquiring the intangible and tangible assets for which the Company valued at $24,000.

 

The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2015. The Form S-1 allowed the Company to solicit investors for investment in a direct public offering of $60,000. Twenty six (26) investors invested at a price of $0.01 per share for the entire offering which closed on December 11, 2015.

 

The Company issued 17,421,000 shares of its common stock and issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock to shareholders of American Rebel, Inc. and cancelled 9,000,000 shares of common stock owned by American Rebel, Inc. to complete the acquisition of American Rebel, Inc. which was accounted for as a reverse merger.


16


During June 2017, prior to the merger, American Rebel, Inc issued 2,800,000 shares of common stock as compensation and recorded an expense based on fair market value of $0.50 per share for a total expense of $1,400,000. On June 19, 2017, in connection with the merger and acquisition of the subsidiary, the Company exchanged 17,421,000 shares of common stock with stockholders of American Rebel, Inc. and cancelled 9,000,000 shares of common stock held by American Rebel, Inc. American Rebel, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company upon completion of the exchange.

 

On July 6, 2017, the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary completed the sale of a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 with an interest rate of 12% per annum to a private investor, and current stockholder. The note is secured by a pledge of all of the Company’s current inventory and the chief executive officer’s personal guaranty. This working capital note requires payments equal to 75% of current sales and matures in 180 days. In connection with this note, the Company issued 250,000 shares of its common stock to the noteholder.

 

On August 6, 2017, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary completed an agreement to acquire a right to a trade show booth location early in 2018. In connection with this acquisition, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock to the seller.

 

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were 23,771,000 and 14,621,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

 

NOTE 13 – WARRANTS AND OPTIONS

 

Since September 16, 2016, in connection with the convertible debenture –related party (see Note 8 – Convertible Debenture – Related Party) the Company issued three year warrants to purchase 1,675,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. In conjunction with sale of convertible debt subsequent to September 30, 2017, the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 410,000shares on identical terms.

 

On June 19, 2017, the Company issued five year warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share as compensation.

 

As of September 30, 2017, there were 2,175,000 warrants issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2016, there were 600,000 warrants outstanding to acquire additional shares of common stock.

 

The Company evaluates outstanding warrants as derivative liabilities and will recognize any changes in the fair value through earnings. The Company determined that the Warrants have an immaterial fair value at September 30, 2017. The warrants do not trade in a highly active securities market, and as such, the Company estimated the fair value of these common stock equivalents using Black-Scholes and the following assumptions:

 

Expected volatility was based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods. The Company’s common stock has not traded so the volatility computation was based on other similarly situated companies. The Company believes this method produced an estimate that was representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatility over the expected term which due to their maturity period as expiry, it was three years. The Company had no reason to believe future volatility over the expected remaining life of these common stock equivalents was likely to differ materially from historical volatility. Expected life was based on three years due to the expiry of maturity. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponded to the expected term of the common stock equivalents.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

 

Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the dates they are made. You should, however, consult further disclosures we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports made under the Exchange Act.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. The factors impacting these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

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; 

actions and initiatives taken by both current and potential competitors; 

supply chain disruptions for components used in our products;

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; 

adverse state or federal legislation or regulation that increases the costs of compliance, or adverse findings by a regulator with respect to existing operations; 

changes in U.S. GAAP or in the legal, regulatory and legislative environments in the markets in which we operate; 

deterioration in general or global economic, market and political conditions; 

inability to efficiently manage our operations; 

inability to achieve future operating results;

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in along with the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (“GAAP”). Except as otherwise disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following management discussion and analysis are quoted in United States dollars.

 

Operations

 

On June 9, 2016 a change in control occurred, a sixty percent (60%) ownership interest was obtained by American Rebel, Inc. from our former officer and director and founder. On June 17, 2017, the Company acquired the business of its control stockholder accounted for and presented financially as a reverse merger transaction. Our majority stockholder, American Rebel, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and we distributed shares to the stockholders of American Rebel, Inc. As a result of this reverse merger, the reported operating history of the Company is now the operating history of American Rebel, Inc. Financial statements of both companies are now consolidated and all material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.

 

We are a development stage company and have limited financial resources. We have not established a firm source of equity or debt financing. Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in their report filed on March 13, 2017 and included with our Form 10-K and Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 22, 2017 emphasizing the uncertainty of our ability to remain as a going concern. An investor or financial statement reader should read our Risk Factors in full.

 

Description of Business

 

Company Overview

 

American Rebel is boldly positioning itself as America’s Patriotic Brand. The Company has identified the market opportunity to design, manufacture, and market innovative concealed carry products. American Rebel accesses its market uniquely through its positioning as America’s Patriotic Brand and the appeal of its products as well as through the profile and public persona of its founder and CEO, Andy Ross. Andy hosted his own television show for 12 years, has made multiple appearances over the years at trade shows, and is well-known in the archery world as the founder of Ross Archery, which was the world’s fastest growing bow company in 2007 and 2008. Andy has also released 3 CDs, done numerous radio and print interviews, and performed many concerts in front of tens of thousands of people. Andy has the ability to present American Rebel to large numbers of potential customers through the appeal of his music and other supporting appearances. For example, his appearance on the History Channel hit show Counting Cars in February 2014 has been viewed by 2 million people or more. Bringing innovative products that satisfy an existing demand to the market through exciting means is the American Rebel blueprint for success.

 

Results of Operations

 

From inception through September 30, 2017, we have generated an operating deficit of $4,870,249. We expect to incur additional losses during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 and beyond, principally as a result of our increased investment in inventory, marketing expenses due to product launch, and the initial limited sales of our new products as we seek to establish them in the marketplace.

The increase in consulting and business development expenses relates primarily to expansion of activities in preparation of 2017 product launch and included a compensation payment of $1,400,000 that was paid through issuance of 2,800,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred product development expenses of $35,376, compared to product development expenses of $105,806 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $178,031, compared to general and administrative expenses of $139,903 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase relates primarily to an increase in professional, consulting and operating fees due to the merger completed in June 2017 and the acceleration in our activities in connection with our planned 2017 product launches.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred depreciation expense of $45,622, compared to depreciation expense of $43,055 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase relates primarily to acquisition of marketing equipment primarily for trade shows for use in connection with our planned 2017 product launches.

 

Other income and expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we reported a gain on sale of equipment of $20,000, compared to a gain on sale of equipment of $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The increase in the net loss from the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to the investment in compensation, increased inventory and marketing in conjunction with our 2017 product launches.

Revenue and cost of goods sold

The increase in the net loss from the three months ended September 30, 2016 to the three months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to the investment in compensation, inventory and marketing in anticipation of our 2017 product launches.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are a development stage company and realized minimal revenue from our planned operations. We have a working capital deficit of $915,455 at December 31, 2016 and $355,083 at September 30, 2017, and have incurred a deficit of $4,870,249 from inception to September 30, 2017. We have funded operations primarily through the issuance of capital stock, convertible debt and other securities.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we raised net cash of $0 by issuance of common shares, as compared to $583,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we raised net cash of $1,075,000 through the issuance of convertible promissory notes, as compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repaid $87,005 on loans received from our CEO, as compared to $117,680 that we received in loans from our CEO during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

As we proceed with the launch of our American Rebel concealed carry product line we have devoted and expect to continue to devote significant resources in the areas of capital expenditures and marketing, sales, and operational expenditures.

 

We expect to require additional funds to further develop our business plan, including the anticipated launch of additional products in addition to the launch of our concealed carry product line. Since it is impossible to predict with certainty the timing and amount of funds required to establish profitability, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional funds through equity or debt offerings or otherwise in order to meet our expected future liquidity requirements. Any such financing that we undertake will likely be dilutive to existing stockholders.

 

In addition, we expect to also need additional funds to respond to business opportunities and challenges, including our ongoing operating expenses, protecting our intellectual property, developing or acquiring new lines of business and enhancing our operating infrastructure. While we may need to seek additional funding for such purposes, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the terms of our financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of our common stock. We may also seek additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. We may not be able to negotiate any such arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our product lines.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related footnotes requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

 

An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.

 

Financial Reporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. There are no critical policies or decisions that rely on judgments that are based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Note 1 to the financial statements, included elsewhere in this report, includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Emerging Growth Company - We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the recently enacted Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, among other things, we will not be required to:

 

Have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; 

 

Submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency” 

 

Obtain shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved; and 

 

Disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executives compensation to median employee compensation. 

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion; (ii) the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity pursuant to an effective registration statement; (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed third fiscal quarter; or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are an emerging growth company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, Charles A. Ross, Jr., evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the evaluation, Mr. Ross concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting him to material information relating to us required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. The Company hired a financial expert with the experience in creating and managing internal control systems as well to continue to improve the effectiveness of our internal controls and financial disclosure controls.


23


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

Part II: Other Information

 

Item 1 - Legal Proceedings

 

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which our director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

Item 1a – Risk Factors

 

Our significant business risks are described in Item 1A to Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on March 13, 2017 and in Current Report Form 8-K filed on June 22, 2017 to which reference is made herein.

 

Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Subsequent Issuances After Quarter-End

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2017, the Company received an additional $410,000 under the convertible debenture – related party (see Note 9 – Convertible Debenture – Related Party) for a total of $2,085,000 and issued an additional 410,000 warrants (see Note 12 – Warrants and Options.)

 

All of the above-described issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering. With respect to each transaction listed above, no general solicitation was made by either the Company or any person acting on its behalf. All such securities issued pursuant to such exemptions are restricted securities as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) promulgated under the Securities Act, appropriate legends have been placed on the documents evidencing the securities, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
