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 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 safe and concealed carry/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 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, 2019 and notes thereto contained.

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, safes 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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

Revenue recognition

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), 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.

We adopted this ASC on January 1, 2018. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them.

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred; Marketing costs incurred were $188,189 and $179,160 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

In February 2020, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of its Common Stock to pay professional and consulting fees. Total fair value of $240,000 was recorded as an expense of $85,000 at March 31, 2020 and prepaid expense of $155,000 for the remaining nine months of the consulting agreement.

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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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 month period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Recent pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and is evaluating any that may impact its financial statements. The Company does not believe that there are any new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

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, our revenue from our planned operations does not cover our operating expenses. 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 of ($2,172,180) and ($758,623), respectively. The Company’s accumulated deficit was ($17,061,811) as of March 31, 2020 and ($14,889,631) as of December 31, 2019. The Company’s working capital deficit was ($2,382,741) as of March 31, 2020 and a deficit of ($2,812,957) as of December 31, 2019. 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.

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 holders of its warrants will execute their outstanding warrants generating investment capital for the Company. Management is also in discussion with several investment banks and broker dealers regarding the initiation of a capital campaign.

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 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment includes the following:

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 we recognized $15,507 and $15,507 in depreciation expense, respectively. We depreciate these assets over a period of sixty (60) months which has been deemed their useful life. In January, 2016 we acquired three vehicles from related parties and assumed the debt secured by the vehicles as described at Note 7 – Notes Payable. Accordingly, the recorded cost of each vehicle is the amount of debt assumed under each related loan, or a total of $277,886.

NOTE 5 –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, 2019 was $4,496. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the company repaid $0 of these loans resulting in a balance at March 31, 2020 of $4,496. These loans are due on demand and carry no interest.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into several convertible debt instruments with stockholders in the amount of $270,000, for a total of $345,000. The Company accrued interest expense on this convertible debt of $10,322, for a total of $82,212 at March 31, 2019. Since public trading of the Company’s common stock began in 2018, the Company determined a Beneficial Conversion Discount of $270,000 applied to the 2018 sales the Convertible Debentures. The discount reduced the liability balance of the debentures to $0 when the debentures were issued and recorded the proceeds of the sale as Additional paid in Capital. The discount will be amortized over the three year term of the debentures. The discounted balance of the convertible debentures at March 31, 2020 was $230,390.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, holders of convertible debentures exercised their rights to convert the debt of $2,060,000 and accrued interest of $280,529 to 4,681,058 shares of common stock. Of the total amount borrowed under the convertible debt and exercise of warrants, $2,664,787 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. This loan is eliminated in consolidation.

Charles A. Ross, Jr. serves as the Company’s CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Compensation for Mr. Ross was $72,000 and $53,500, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE – NONRELATED PARTIES

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company acquired three vehicles from various related parties in exchange for the assumption of the liabilities related to those vehicles. The liabilities assumed are as follows at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Current and long-term portion. Total loan balance is reported as current because loans are past due, become due within one year or are expected to be repaid within one year.

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE – WORKING CAPITAL

During the three months ending March 31, 2020, the Company and the Company’s wholly owned operating subsidiary completed the sale of additional short-term notes under similar terms in the additional principal amount totaling $1,351,636. The notes are secured by a pledge of certain of the Company’s current inventory and the chief executive officer’s personal guaranty. These short-term working capital notes mature in 30-360 days. In connection with these notes, the Company issued 5,775,000 shares of its common stock. The fair value of these share incentives was calculated to be $727,500. The fair value of the share incentives was recorded as a discount to the notes payable and the discount was amortized over the term of those agreements to interest expense using the straight-line method that approximates the effective interest method. Interest expense recorded as a result of amortization of discount for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is $136,152.

During the three months ending March 31, 2020, the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary completed the conversion of short term notes with a face value of $900,000 and accrued interest to 10,641,000 shares of Common Stock with a fair value of $1,581,240, resulting in a Loss on Extinguishment of Debt of $850,317.

As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance due on the working capital notes was $3,532,185 and $3,595,561, respectively.

NOTE 8- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE – RELATED PARTY

Since September 16, 2016, the Company sold convertible debentures in the amount of $2,405,000 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 2,405,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. As of December 31, 2019, the Company received $2,405,000 under this convertible debenture. In April and November, 2018, debentures with face value of $2,060,000 plus accrued interest of $280,529 were converted into 4,681,058 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a face value of $345,000 due under this convertible debenture.

The convertible debenture holder, based on its agreement, with maturities beginning September 16, 2019 has the option to convert their principal and interest into 690,000 (plus 164,424 for accrued interest) shares of common stock. The fair value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature resulted in a discount to the convertible debenture – related party of $137,110 at December 31, 2019 and a discount of $114,610 at March 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company sold convertible debt instruments in the amount of $270,000. Since public trading of the Company’s common stock began in 2018, the Company determined a beneficial conversion discount of $270,000 applied to the 2018 sales the convertible debt instruments. The discount reduced the liability balance of the debentures to $0 when the debentures were issued and recorded the proceeds of the sale as Additional paid in Capital. The discount will be amortized over the three year term of the debentures. The discounted balance of the convertible debentures at March 31, 2020 was $230,390.

NOTE 8- CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE – RELATED PARTY (CONTINUED)

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. Since public trading of the common stock began in 2018, market price of the Company’s traded stock has ranged from $0.12 to $2.50 per share.

As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance due the convertible debentures holders was $345,000, including $0 in original issue discount or interest.

NOTE 9 – 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.

The fair value of the conversion feature of the financial instrument as of March 31, 2020 was $0. The Company did not record any expense associated with the embedded derivatives at March 31, 2020. No embedded derivative expense was realized as there was no change in the conversion price.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of $17,061,811and $14,889,631, respectively, which begins to expire in 2034.

Components of net deferred tax asset, including a valuation allowance, are as follows:

Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $3,582,980 and $1,689,698, 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and recognized 100% valuation allowance for each period.

Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate for both periods and as of December 31, 2019:

NOTE 11 – 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

During the three months ending March 31, 2020, the Company issued 10,641,000 shares of its Common Stock and completed the conversion of short term notes with a face value of $900,000 and accrued interest. The fair value of these shares was calculated to be $1,581,240, resulting in a Loss on Extinguishment of Debt of $850,317.

In February 2020, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of its Common Stock to pay professional and consulting fees. Total fair value of $240,000 was recorded as an expense of $85,000 at March 31, 2020 and prepaid expense of $155,000 for the remaining nine months of the consulting agreement.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 60,678,058 and 43,062,058 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

NOTE 12 – WARRANTS AND OPTIONS

In January 2019, the Company issued three-year and five-year warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share in conjunction with working capital loans totaling $75,000.

As of March 31, 2020, there were 2,320,000 warrants issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2019, there were 2,320,000 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 March 31, 2020. 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.

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 safes and 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 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.

From inception through March 31, 2020, we have generated an operating deficit of $17,061,811. We expect to incur additional losses during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 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.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared To Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Revenue and cost of goods sold

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we reported Sales of $350,268, compared to Sales of $70,015 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we reported Cost of Sales of $234,387, compared to Cost of Sales of $28,299 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we reported Gross Profit of $115,881, compared to Gross Profit of $41,716 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Sales of our products began during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $1,027,445 compared to $279,170 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as further described below.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred consulting and business development expenses of $151,005, compared to consulting and business development expenses of $248,337 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change in consulting and business development expenses relates primarily to change of activities in preparation of 2018 product launch.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred product development expenses of $53,295, compared to product development expenses of $41,133 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change in product development expenses relates primarily to an increase of activities in preparation of new product launches.

19

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred marketing and brand development expenses of $188,189, compared to marketing and brand development expenses of $179,160 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change in marketing and brand development expenses relates primarily to an increase of activities including major trade shows in conjunction with the several new product launches.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $619,449, compared to general and administrative expenses of $95,333 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change relates primarily to a change in professional, consulting and operating fees due to the financing and development activities in connection with our 2019 product launches.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred depreciation expense of $15,507, compared to depreciation expense of $15,507 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The expense relates primarily to acquisition of marketing equipment primarily for trade shows for use in connection with our 2018 product launches.

Other income and expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred interest expense of $410,299, compared to interest expense of $221,169 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded $263,082 in interest expense by amortization of the discount recorded for the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with working capital loans.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $2,172,180, resulting in a loss per share of $0.05, compared to $758,623 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, resulting in a loss per share of $0.03. The increase in the net loss from the three months ended March 31, 2019 to the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily due to the increase in corporate and financing costs including the Loss on Extinguishment of Debt of $850,317 created by issue of Common Stock to eliminate short term debt and accrued interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are a development stage company and our revenue from our planned operations does not cover our operating expenses. We have a working capital deficit of $2,557,776 at December 31, 2019 and $2,398,390 at March 31, 2020 and have incurred a deficit of $17,061,811 from inception to March 31, 2020. We have funded operations primarily through the issuance of capital stock, convertible debt and other securities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we raised net cash of $0 by issuance of common shares, as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we raised net cash of $125,000 through the issuance of a convertible promissory note, as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we raised net cash of $1,351,636 through the issuance of notes payable secured by inventory, as compared to $612,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repaid $0 on loans received from our CEO, as compared to $0 that we repaid in loans from our CEO during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

As we continue with the launch of our American Rebel safes and 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 continuing to market our safes and 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.

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.

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.

21

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.

22

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 directors, 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

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.
