NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY

We were formed under the name Retrospettiva, Inc. in November 1990 to manufacture and import textile products, including both finished garments and fabrics. We were inactive until the following series of events in December 2016 and March 2017.

On December 15, 2016, the Company’s majority shareholders sold 475,681 (11,891,976 pre-split) of their outstanding shares to Mr. Fred W. Wagenhals (“Mr. Wagenhals”) resulting in a change in control of the Company. Mr. Wagenhals was appointed as sole officer and the sole member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company also approved (i) doing business in the name AMMO, Inc., (ii) a change to the Company’s OTC trading symbol to POWW, (iii) an agreement and plan of merger to re-domicile and change the Company’s state of incorporation from California to Delaware, and (iv) a 1-for-25 reverse stock split (“Reverse Split”) of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. As a result of the reverse split, the previous issued and outstanding shares of common stock became 580,052 shares; no shareholder was reversed below 100 shares, and all fractional shares resulting from the reverse split were rounded up to the next whole share. All references to the outstanding stock have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this split. These transactions were effective as of December 30, 2016.

On March 17, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with AMMO, Inc. a Delaware Corporation (PRIVCO) under which the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of common stock of (PRIVCO). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued 17,285,800 newly issued shares of common stock of the Company. In connection with this transaction the Company retired 475,681 shares of common stock and issued 500,000 shares of common stock to satisfy an issuance commitment. The acquisition was considered to be a capital transaction. The transaction was the equivalent to the issuance by PRIVCO of 604,371 shares to the Company’s shareholders accompanied by a recapitalization. The weighted average number of outstanding shares has been adjusted for this transaction. (PRIVCO) subsequently changes its name to AMMO Munitions, Inc.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Basis

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, needed to fairly present the financial results for these periods. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019. The results for the nine month period ended December 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, (b) the financial position at December 31, 2019, and (c) cash flows for the nine month periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

We use the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company has a fiscal year-end of March 31^st.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “Ammo”, “we”, “us”, “our,” or the “Company” are to AMMO, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMMO, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Enlight Group II, LLC (d/b/a Jagemann Munition Components), SNI, LLC, AMMO Munitions, Inc. and AMMO Technologies, Inc. (inactive). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Our accounts receivable represents amounts due from customers for products sold and include an allowance for uncollectible accounts which is estimated based on the aging of the accounts receivable and specific identification of uncollectible accounts. At December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, we reserved $5,052 and $129,365, respectively, of allowance for doubtful accounts.

License Agreements

We are a party to a license agreement with Jesse James, a well-known motorcycle designer, and Jesse James Firearms, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, or JJF. The license agreement grants us the exclusive worldwide rights through October 15, 2021 to Mr. James’ image rights and trademarks associated with him in connection with the marketing, promotion, advertising, sale, and commercial exploitation of Jesse James Branded Products. In addition, Mr. James agreed to make himself available for certain promotional activities and to promote Jesse James Branded Products through his own social media outlets. We agreed to pay Mr. James royalty fees on the sale of ammunition and non-ammunition Branded Products and to reimburse him for any out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable travel expenses. We also issued 100,000 shares of our common stock upon the execution of the license agreement with the potential issuance of up to 75,000 additional shares of common stock upon achieving certain gross sales with $15 million in gross sales required to earn the entire 75,000 shares.

We are a party to a license agreement with Jeff Rann, a well-known wild game hunter and spokesman for the firearm and ammunition industries. The license agreement grants us through February 2022 the exclusive worldwide rights to Mr. Rann’s image rights and trademarks associated with him in connection with the marketing, promotion, advertising, sale, and commercial exploitation of all Jeff Rann Branded Products. Mr. Rann agreed to make himself available for certain promotional activities and to promote the Branded Products through his own social media outlets. We agreed to pay Mr. Rann royalty fees on the sale of ammunition and non-ammunition Branded Products and to reimburse him for any out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable travel expenses. We also issued 100,000 shares of our common stock upon the execution of the license agreement with the potential issuance of 75,000 additional shares of common stock upon achieving certain gross sales with $15 million in gross sales required to earn the entire 75,000 shares.

Amortization expense for the license agreements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $12,500, $12,500, $37,500 and $37,500, respectively.

Patents

On September 28, 2017, AMMO Technologies Inc. (“ATI”), an Arizona corporation, which is 100% owned by us, merged with Hallam, Inc, a Texas corporation, with ATI being the survivor. Under the terms of the Merger, we issued to Hallam, Inc.’s two shareholders, 600,000 shares of our common stock, subject to restrictions, and payment of $200,000. The first payment of $100,000 to the Hallam, Inc. shareholders was paid on September 13, 2017, and the second payment of $100,000 was paid on February 6, 2018.

The shares were valued at $1.25 and the aggregate value of $950,000 was recorded as a patent asset. This asset will be amortized from September 2017, the first full month of the acquired rights, through October 29, 2028. Patent amortization expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $21,268, $21,269, $63,806, and $63,806, respectively.

Under the terms of the Merger, ATI succeeded to all of the assets of Hallam, Inc. and assumed the liabilities of Hallam, Inc., which were none. The primary asset of Hallam, Inc. was an exclusive license to produce projectiles and ammunition using the Hybrid Luminescence Ammunition Technology under patent U.S. 8,402,896 B1 with a publication date of March 26, 2013 owned by University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The license was formally amended and assigned to AMMO Technologies Inc. pursuant to an Assignment and First Amendment to Exclusive License Agreement. Assumption Agreement dated to be effective as of August 22, 2017, the Merger closing date. Under the terms of the Exclusive License Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay a royalty to the patent holder, based on a $0.01 per unit basis for each round of ammunition sold that incorporates this patented technology through October 29, 2028. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company accrued $20,261 and $22,495 respectively under this agreement.

In August 2018, we applied for additional patent coverage for the manufacturing methods or application of the Hybrid Luminescence Ammunition Technology on a variety of projectile and ammunition types. The costs of filing this patent were expensed, but may be recapitalized pending the outcome of the USPTO’s review of the application.

On October 5, 2018, we completed the acquisition of SW Kenetics Inc. ATI succeeded all of the assets of SW Kenetics, Inc. and assumed all of the liabilities. Under the terms of the agreement, we issued to SW Kenetics Inc.’s three shareholders, 1,700,002 restricted shares of our common stock, payment of $250,000, and a payment obligation of $1,250,000 subject to completion of specific milestones that we have recorded as Contingent Consideration Payable. Additionally, the 1,700,002 shares of common stock were issued with claw back provisions to ensure agreed upon objectives are met. The Company has made four payments totaling $350,000 for the completion of specific milestones to the shareholders of SW Kenetics, Inc.

The primary asset of SW Kenetics Inc. was a pending patent for modular projectiles. All rights to patent pending application were assigned and transferred to AMMO Technologies, Inc. pursuant to Intellectual Property Rights Agreement on September 27, 2018. Patent amortization expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 was $102,067 and $239,253. There was no amortization expense for the patent in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 as the patent had not been placed in service.

We intend to continue building our patent portfolio to protect our proprietary technologies and processes, and will file new applications where appropriate to preserve our rights to manufacture and sell our branded lines of ammunition.

Other Intangible Assets

On March 15, 2019, Enlight Group II, LLC d/b/a Jagemann Munition Components, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMMO, Inc., completed its acquisition of assets of Jagemann Stamping Company’s ammunition casing manufacturing and sales operations pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (See Note 10). The intangible assets acquired include a tradename, customer relationships, and intellectual property. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, amortization of the other intangibles assets was $249,794 and $729,131.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. No impairment expense was recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue from the production and sale of ammunition. We recognize revenue according to ASC 606. When the customer obtains control over the promised goods or services, we record revenue in the amount of consideration that we can expect to receive in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model to determine revenue recognition:

The Company only applies the five-step model when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception and once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. Our contracts contain a single performance obligation and the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. We recognize as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Accordingly, we recognize revenues (net) when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product.

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s customers that comprised more than ten percent (10%) of total revenues and accounts receivable were as follows :

Advertising Costs

We expense advertising costs as they are incurred. We incurred advertising of $128,709 and $422,948 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively.

Inventories

We state inventories at the lower of cost or market. We determine cost using the average cost method. Our inventory consists of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods. Cost of inventory includes cost of parts, labor, quality control, and all other costs incurred to bring our inventories to condition ready to be sold. We periodically evaluate and adjust inventories for obsolescence.

Property and Equipment

We state property and equipment at cost, less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize major renewals and improvements, while we charge minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs to current operations. We compute depreciation by applying the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which are generally five to seven years.

Compensated Absences

We accrue a liability for compensated absences in accordance with Accounting Standards Codifications 710 – Compensation – General.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and 123 (R) (ASC 718). There were 407,000 shares of common stock issued to employees, members of the Board of Directors, and members of the Advisory Committee for services during the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

On May 1, 2018, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert D. Wiley, Chief Financial Officer, that included, among other provisions, an equity grant of 100,000 shares of restricted common stock that vests at the rate of 33,333 shares annually for three years. The $250,000 compensation value is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year period covered by the agreement.

From September 2018 through July 2019, we entered into seven separate employment agreements that included in total, among other provisions, equity grants of 522,500 shares of restricted common stock that vests annually over the next four years. The total compensation value of $1,351,000 is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the periods covered by each agreement, up to four years.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Accounts at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, our bank account balances did not exceeded federally insured limits.

Income Taxes

We file federal and state income tax returns in accordance with the applicable rules of each jurisdiction. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, and local income taxes currently payable, and deferred taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable amounts in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. In accordance with ASC 740, we recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. We measure recognized income tax positions at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. We reflect changes in recognition or measurement in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. We currently have substantial net operating loss carryforwards. We have recorded a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to us but will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. We assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, we evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims and the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability is reasonably estimated, the estimated liability would be accrued in our consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. On September 24, 2019, the Company received notice that a former employee that had voluntarily terminated filed a complaint against the Company, and certain individuals, with the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”). The Complaint alleges retaliation and constructive discharge. The matter is currently the subject of administrative investigation by the DOL via the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The Company filed a timely Position Statement with the DOL in October of 2019 in response to the Complaint. The Company believes the matters raised in the Complaint are without merit and therefore has and will continue to aggressively defend its interests in this matter. There were no other known contingencies at December 31, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The revised effective date for this ASU is for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and early adoption will be permitted, but not earlier than the original effective date of annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, for public entities. We adopted ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2019.

Sales are initiated in three ways –

Once a customer’s order is received a sales order is generated by authorized sales or management personnel. Once approved for shipping, the sales order is entered, the inventory control department will pull the purchased items from the inventory or if needed will request the manufacture of a specific product. When the items that were ordered are available for shipment, the merchandise is prepared for shipping and shipped by FedEx or common carrier.

All sales are recorded upon shipment and, depending on credit worthiness of customer, the payment terms will vary from thirty (30) to sixty (60) days. No refunds are allowed on any product shipped.

Each product manufactured by the Company has standard specifications and performance objectives. The Company has an extensive product testing program and, if the Company were given notice of a product defect by a customer, the Company would request the return of the product so that the manufacturing defect could be identified. From inception to December 31, 2019, the Company has had no returned products related to product warranty.

The revenue recognition procedures set forth above have been used by the Company since its inception and are consistent with requirements of ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 – “Leases (Topic 842)” Under ASU 2016-02, entities will be required to recognize lease asset and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Among other changes in accounting for leases, a lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to (and a lessor) should include payments to be made in optional periods only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. Similarly, optional payments to purchase the underlying asset should be included in the measurement of lease assets and lease liabilities only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that purchase option. The amendments in ASU 2016-02 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods with those fiscal years for public business entities. We adopted Topic 842 as of April 1, 2019.

On June 20, 2018, the FASB expanded the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to include share-based payments to nonemployees for goods and services. The accounting board said the amendments in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, align the guidance for stock compensation to employees and nonemployees. The amended guidance replaces ASC 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. We anticipate that this ASC will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

The amendments in ASU No. 2018-07 apply “to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards,” the FASB said. But the amended guidance does not cover stock compensation that is used to provide financing to the company that issued the shares or stock awards tied to a sale of goods or services as part of a contract accounted for according to ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers.

The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2018, and the quarterly and other interim periods in those years, the FASB said the amended guidance can be applied before it becomes effective, but businesses are not permitted to use the guidance in ASU No. 2018-07 before they have implemented ASC 606. We have evaluated the effect of the adoption of ASU 2018-07 will have on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows and determine the effects will not be material to the Company’s financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Loss Per Common Share

We calculate basic loss per share using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities, such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods, such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method, in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. We have issued warrants to purchase 8,629,432 shares of common stock. All weighted average numbers were adjusted for the reverse stock split and merger transaction. Due to the loss from operations in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, there are no common shares added to calculate the dilutive EPS for those periods as the effect would be antidilutive.

NOTE 3 – INVENTORIES

At December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the inventory balances are composed of:

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

We state property and equipment at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method at rates intended to depreciate the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, which are generally five to seven years. Upon retirement or sale of property and equipment, we remove the cost of the disposed assets and related accumulated depreciation from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses. We charge expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance to expense as incurred.

We capitalize additions and expenditures for improving or rebuilding existing assets that extend the useful life. Leasehold improvements made either at the inception of the lease or during the lease term are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term including any renewals that are reasonably assured.

NOTE 5 – FACTORING LIABILITY

On July 1, 2019, we entered into a Factoring and Security Agreement with Factors Southwest, LLC (“FSW”). FSW may purchase from time to time the Company’s Accounts Receivables with recourse on an account by account basis. The twenty-four month agreement contains a maximum advance amount of $5,000,000 on 85% of eligible accounts and has an annualized interest rate of the Prime Rate published from time to time by the Wall Street Journal plus 4.5%. The agreement contains fee of 3% ($150,000) of the Maximum Facility assessed to the Company. Our obligations under this agreement are secured by present and future accounts receivables and related assets, inventory, and equipment. The Company has the right to terminate the agreement, with 30 days written notice, upon obtaining a non-factoring credit facility. This agreement provides the Company with the ability to convert our account receivables into cash. As of December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance of the Factoring Liability was $936,750. Interest expense recognized on the Factoring Liability was $116,196, including $62,500 of amortization of the commitment fee.

NOTE 6 – LEASES

We lease office, manufacturing, and warehouse space in Scottsdale and Payson, AZ and Manitowoc, WI under contracts we classify as operating leases. None of our leases are financing leases. The Payson lease has an option to renew for five years, and the Manitowoc lease has an option to renew for the three years. As of December 31, 2019, we are fairly certain that we will exercise the renewal options on both leases, and we have included such renewal options in the lease liabilities and the disclosures herein. The Scottsdale lease does not include a renewal option.

As of December 31, 2019, the current portion of our operating lease liability was $496,095 and is reported as a current liability.

Consolidated lease expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was $375,275 including $117,243 of operating lease expense and $258,482 of other lease associated expenses such as association dues, taxes, utilities, and other month to month rentals.

NOTE 7 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

On January 9, 2019, we completed the issuance of 10% Convertible Promissory Notes in the principal amount of $1,710,000 to accredited investors through a private placement in exchange for cash in an equal amount. The principal amounts were raised from the period of October 23, 2018 to December 28, 2018. As a result of the issuance of the Convertible Promissory Notes, the placement agent received an aggregate commission of $171,000, and $5,000 in escrow fees were paid, totaling $176,000 of Note Issuance Costs. As of March 31, 2019, we recorded $151,856 of interest expense related to the Note Issuance Costs.

The Maturity Date of the notes is the two year anniversary from the date of issuance. The holders have the option to convert the entire principal of the Convertible Promissory Note into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $2.50 per share at any time until the Maturity Date, subject to “Qualified Financing.” Qualified Financing means the next equity round of financing of the Company that raises not less than $10,000,000 gross proceeds from institutional(s) or commercial lender(s) in the aggregate with any combination of Common Stock (valued at the close of the Trading Day on the date of the closing for the financing) or debt. In the event of Qualified Financing, the Convertible Promissory Notes will automatically convert 100% of the principal amount into Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $2.50 per share. As of March 31, 2019, we accrued $65,291 of interest expense related to the Convertible Promissory Notes.

On February 28, 2019, the company notified the holders of an offer to convert Convertible Promissory Notes and Accrued Interest into Common Stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share and receive one-half warrant exercisable at $2.40 per share for five years in conjunction with each converted share On March 29, 2019, the Company converted $1,410,000 of Convertible Promissory Notes and $52,065 of Accrued Interest into 731,039 shares of Common Stock and issued Warrants to purchase 365,523 shares of Common Stock. The offer ended on March 29, 2019 at 11:59 PM. As a result of the conversion of the Convertible Promissory Notes, the Company accrued $42,300 for a 3% cash conversion fee on the principal converted payable to the placement agent, Paulson Investment Company. Additionally, $118,351 of Unamortized Note Issuance Costs were amortized and $358,800 of Interest Expenses related to the reduction in conversion price were recognized as result of the conversions.

The holders that did not elect to convert their notes during this period have the option to convert their entire principal of the Convertible Promissory Note into Common Stock per the terms of the original agreement.

As of March 31, 2019, there was $300,000 in principal remaining and $24,144 of Unamortized Note Issuance Costs.

(inactive).

Overview

Our vision is to modernize the ammunition industry by bringing new technologies to market. We intend to do that through acquisition and application of intellectual property that is unique to the industry and through investing in manufacturing equipment and processes that enable us to compete globally.

When we began our operations in early 2017, our focus was to sell the inventory of ammunition we acquired through an asset purchase of a private company located in northern Arizona. The inventory consisted primarily of standard pistol and rifle rounds and two proprietary lines that had not received much traction in the market. We sold the remaining inventory at a discount during 2017 to help fund the development of our manufacturing operations. This accounted for the majority of our sales through the end of the third quarter of the calendar year of 2017.

With the prior inventory successfully sold and new products being produced, our next objective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2017 was to identify ammunition technologies unique to the industry that could be quickly implemented by our manufacturing team. We met with several organizations and projectile manufacturers looking for innovative products that could be used to establish us as a niche or high-end manufacturer for the recreational shooter, the American hunter, law enforcement, and military forces. Among the first of these technologies to meet our requirements was STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™, a one-way luminescent or OWL Technology application. We believe our STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™ line is the only non-incendiary tracer round in the ammunition market today. We secured the exclusive license to manufacture and sell the STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™ line of ammunition in 2017. We have filed for and received Trademark Protection for the STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™ product name from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on July 17, 2018 Additionally, we filed for Trademark Protection for the O.W.L. Technology^TM product name on June 6, 2018.

We formally introduced the STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™ portfolio of calibers, along with our rebranded One Precise Shot (OPS) and Stelth subsonic line of suppression ammunition, to the general public at the SHOT Show in Las Vegas held in January 2018. This product introduction resulted in the opening of major retail outlets across the United States and attracted the attention of distributors in the international community. We believe this was a critical milestone in establishing us as a significant player in technology-based ammunition.

To help promote our new products, we hired new sales and marketing personnel in late 2017, and early 2018. We also augmented our Board of Directors to include professionals who could provide guidance for our teams through their prior experience in the industries we have targeted: commercial retail – focused on the gun or hunting enthusiast; US Law Enforcement; the US Military; and international markets for both military and law enforcement. Together this team has worked to open sales channels and distribution networks and capitalize on industry relationships to introduce our products to the influencers required to grow our sales.

During the summer of 2018, we also began conversations to acquire a small technology company named SW Kenetics Inc. SW Kenetics Inc. developed an innovative line of modular projectiles primarily geared toward tactical military operations. On July 6, 2018 we signed a letter of intent to purchase their company, as we believe their designs, coupled with our STREAK or O.W.L. Technology will position us to more aptly complete for military contracts. On September 27, 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger to acquire SW Kenetics Inc. for a total of up to $1,500,000 in cash and issue 1,700,002 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The agreement specifies that $1,250,000 of the cash is deferred pending completion of specific milestones and the 1,700,002 shares of common stock are subject to claw back provisions to ensure agreed upon objective are met. The acquisition was completed on October 5, 2018.

On March 15, 2019, Enlight Group II, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMMO, Inc., completed its acquisition of 100% of the assets of Jagemann Stamping Company’s ammunition casing, projectile manufacturing and sales operations pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 14, 2019. In accordance with the terms of the Amended APA, Enlight Group II, LLC paid Jagemann Stamping Company a combination of $7,000,000 in cash, $10,400,000 delivered in the form of a Promissory Note, and 4,750,000 shares of AMMO, Inc. common stock. Post-closing of the acquisition the Company agreed to reduce the Promissory Note by $2,596,200.

This acquisition was a critical element in the Company’s long-term strategy as it secures its supply chain for these important components and creates a more competitive pricing structure that it can leverage across all its targeted markets. This also greatly enhances the Company’s plant capacity and technical expertise required for the further development of military grade projectiles.

The Company’s innovative line of match grade armor piercing (AP) and hard armor piercing incendiary (HAPI) tactical rounds, are the centerpiece of the Company’s strategy to address the unique needs the armed forces community demands are met by their equipment. Following AMMO’s acquisition of Jagemann Casings in March, the Company has aligned its manufacturing operations to support the large caliber demand from military personnel, such as the 12.7mm and .50 caliber BMG configurations.

The focus for our 2020 fiscal year is to continue to expand our brand presence into the markets identified above and to continue to grow our sales within our targeted markets. We intend to do this through establishing key strategic relationships, enrolling in government procurement programs, establishing relationships with leading law enforcement associations and programs, expanding distributor channels, and revitalized marketing campaigns.

We also intend to increase our product offerings through potential acquisitions that bring new technologies that provide solutions for United States Military requirements. Our first step in this process is the addition of equipment to support the manufacture of 50 caliber ammunition. Not only is there an increasing demand for quality ammunition in this category for military applications, it also has a growing demand from commercial markets, and gun enthusiasts.

Our addressable market includes the 2.6 million law enforcement officers around the world (800,000 domestically and 1.8 million internationally) who annually recertify with their firearms; 1.3 million enlisted personnel in the U.S. Armed Forces, and more than 30 million handgun owning households in the United States with later expansion to international markets for civilian purchasers which, based on industry statistics, represents addressable revenue of billions of dollars annually. Each of these markets has unique challenges or barriers to entry. We believe with the strategies we are developing; we will be well positioned to grow our future market share based on our commitment to innovation and meeting the changing needs and demographics of ammunition buyers.

Our History

Our ammunition manufacturing business has been fully operational for just over two years. Although our corporate entity commenced in 1990 as a textile manufacturer and importer, then called Retrospettiva, our manufacturing operations formally began in March of 2017 when we acquired our ammunition business.

Results of Operations

Our financial results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 reflect our newly positioned organization. We believe that we have hired a strong team of professionals, developed innovative products, and continue to raise capital sufficient to establish our presence as a high-quality ammunition provider. Although we continue to focus on growing our top line revenue, and streamlining our operations, we did experience a decline in our gross profit margin for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019. This was the result of a significant increase in depreciation and amortization expenses related to the addition of assets from the acquisition of Jagemann Stamping Company’s ammunition casing, projectile manufacturing, and sales operations (“Jagemann Casings”), sales of products that carry lower margins, as well as increases to costs of raw materials and overhead.

The following table presents summarized financial information taken from our consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared with the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We analyze operational and financial data to evaluate our business, allocate our resources, and assess our performance. In addition to total net sales, net income (loss), and other results under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the following information includes key operating metrics and non-GAAP financial measures we use to evaluate our business. We believe these measures are useful for period-to-period comparisons of the Company. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because they are key measures we use to evaluate our operational performance, produce future strategies for our operations, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of our resources. Accordingly, we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measures that displays our net loss, adjusted to eliminate the effect of certain items as described below.

We have excluded the following non-cash expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures: depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expenses. We believe it is useful to exclude these non-cash expenses because the amount of such expenses in any specific period may not directly correlate to the underlying performance of our business operations.

Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure also excludes other cash interest income and expense, as these items are not components of our core operations. We have not included adjustment for any provision or benefit for income taxes as we currently record a valuation allowance.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include the following:

Because of these limitations, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures alongside other financial performance measures, including our net loss and our other financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Net Sales

The following table shows our net sales by proprietary ammunition versus standard ammunition for the periods ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. “Proprietary Ammunition” include those lines of ammunition manufactured by our facilities that are sold under the brand names: STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™, One Precise Shot (OPS), Night Ops, Jeff Rann, and Stelth. We define “Standard Ammunition” as non-proprietary ammunition that directly competes with other brand manufacturers. Our “Standard Ammunition” is manufactured within our facility and may also include completed ammunition that has been acquired in the open market for sale to others. Also included in this category is low cost target pistol and rifle ammunition, as well as bulk packaged ammunition manufactured by us using reprocessed brass casings. Ammunition within this product line typically carries much lower gross margins.

Sales for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 increased 467% and 213% or $2,282,929 and $6,823,177, over the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, respectively. This increase was the result of $1,525,595 and $6,321,475 of sales from our recently acquired casing operations, coupled with $508,885 and $1,217,008 of respective increased sales in bulk pistol and rifle ammunition, summarized in Standard Ammunition above and an increase of $248,449 and a decrease of $715,306 of respective sales of Proprietary Ammunition. Although Proprietary Ammunition sales decreased in the current period increased from the comparable periods, management expects the sales of Proprietary Ammunition to outpace the sales of our Standard Ammunition.

We are focused on continuing to grow top line revenue quarter-over-quarter as we continue to further expand distribution into commercial markets, introduce new product lines, and initiate sales to U.S. law enforcement, military, and international markets.

We added ammunition casings to our product offerings at March 15, 2019 and expect the ammunition casing sales to be a significant part of our sales moving forward.

Through our acquisition of SWK, the Company has developed and deployed a new line of tactical armor piercing (AP) and hard armor piercing incendiary (HAPI) precision ammunition to meet the lethality requirements of both the US and foreign military customers. This line was formally launched at SHOT Show in Las Vegas, where our team demonstrated or presented the capability to more than 15 countries around the world. We continue to demonstrate our AP and HAPI ammunition to military personnel at scheduled and invite only events, resulting in increased interest and procurement discussions.

It is important to note that, although U.S. law enforcement, military and international markets represent significant opportunities for our company, they also have a long sales cycle. The Company’s sales team has been effective in establishing sales and distribution channels, both in the United States and abroad, which are reasonably anticipated to drive sustained sales opportunity in the military, law enforcement, and commercial markets.

Sales outside of the United States require licenses and approval from the U.S. State Department, which typically takes approximately 30 days to receive. On April 16, 2019, we received renewal for our registration with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). This permits the Company to export and broker ammunition and other controlled items covered under ITAR.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased by approximately $3.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 compared with the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018. This was the result of a significant increase to non-cash depreciation related to our newly acquired casing operations, expensing of increased labor, overhead, and raw materials used to produce finished product during 2019 as compared to 2018. Although sales increased, when comparing the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 to the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, they did not meet management’s expectations and did not allow us to cover a greater percentage of our fixed manufacturing costs, which include our non-cash amortization and depreciation expense. As a percentage of sales, cost of goods sold increased by 11.4% and 32.6% from 118.6% and 92.5%, respectively for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 to 132.1% and 122.6%, respectively for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Gross Margin

Our gross margin percentage decreased to -32.1% and –22.6% from 18.6% and 7.5%, respectively during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. This was a result of the increased non-cash depreciation related to our recently acquired casing operations and a level of sales that did not allow us to cover a greater percentage of our fixed manufacturing costs, which include our non-cash amortization and depreciation expense.

Our production facility was designed to manufacture approximately 200 million rounds of ammunition a year, when fully staffed. To date, we are operating at a fraction of that volume, while maintaining equivalent quality systems, regulatory compliance, equipment and facility costs, as well as plant management.

We believe as we continue to grow sales through new markets and expanded distribution that our gross margins will also increase, as evidenced by the improvement over this time last year. Our goal in the next 12 to 24 months is to continue to improve our gross margins. This will be accomplished through the following:

Sales, General, and Administrative Expenses

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, our sales, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $317,592 and increased by approximately $1.5 million, respectively over the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, but decrease as a percentage of sales from 424.8% and 180.2% for the respective three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 to 63.5% and 59.6% for the respective three and nine months ended December 31, 2019. This decrease in expenses was the result of an adjustment to non-cash amortization expense for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 and the increase was a result of non-cash amortization expenses of $729,131 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and increased payroll expense from our newly acquired casing operations and due to the expansion our sales and support team, stock compensation expense associated with issuance of our Common Stock in lieu of cash compensation for employees, board members, and key consultants for the organization during the period, and trade show and marketing costs associated with introducing our new lines of ammunition. Sales, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine month 2019 periods included noncash stock compensation of approximately $351,000 and $1,237,000. We also experienced increases as a result of new investor and public relations programs, and professional fees associated with our acquisition activity, our public filings, and our efforts to uplist the Company from the OTC to a national exchange. We expect to see administrative expenditures decrease as a percentage of sales in the 2020 fiscal year, as we leverage our work force and expand our sales opportunities.

Interest and other Expenses

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, interest expenses increased by $171,210 and $561,688 compared with the comparable three and nine months in 2018. The increase was a result of $29,143 of non-cash interest expense and debt discount amortization related to the Convertible Promissory Notes, $53,103 and 163,761 of non-cash interest expense related to the recognition of Right of Use assets and Lease Liabilities, and $83,144 and $291,339 of accrued interest expense in connection with related party note payables for the three and nine months ended in 2019.

Net Loss

As a result of higher production, selling, and payroll expenses, we ended the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2019 with respective net losses of approximately $2.9 million and $10.1 million compared with respective net losses of approximately $612,000 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2018.

Our goal is to continue to improve our operating results as we focus on increasing sales and controlling our operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2019, we had $130,870 of cash and cash equivalents, a decrease of $2,050,376 from March 31, 2019.

Working Capital is summarized and compared as follows:

Changes in cash flows are summarized as follows:

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, net cash used in operations totaled $3,103,454. This was primarily the result of a net loss of $10,150,082, increases in our period end accounts payables and inventories of $2,357,708 and $250,383, respectively, and increases accrued liabilities of $271,063. The cash used in operations were partially offset by the benefit of non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization of $2,957,337, employee stock compensation of $688,750, stock issued for services of $272,000, and stock grants totaling $548,058.

For the nine month period ended December 31, 2018, net cash used in operations totaled $5,204,386. This was primarily the result of a net loss of $3,973,806, a gain of bargain purchase of $1,599,161 increases in our period end inventory of $1,546,301, and cash used to reduce accrued liabilities and increase cash deposits. The cash used in operations were partially offset by the benefit of non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization of $329,478, employee stock compensation of $644,724, a $611,740 decrease in accounts receivable, stock grants totaling $496,143.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we used $356,022 in net cash for investing activities compared with $1,879,833 for the comparable period in 2018. The $356,022 of cash used to purchase fixed assets such as new production equipment and to acquire end cap displays for the sale of our product at retailers.

During the nine month period ended December 31, 2018, we used $1,879,833 in net cash for investing activities compared with $368,171 for the comparable period in 2017. Of the total cash used for investing activities, $1,629,833 was used to purchase fixed assets such as new production equipment and leasehold improvements to expand production at our Payson, Arizona manufacturing facility, to acquire end cap displays for the sale of our product at retailers. The remaining $250,000 was used as consideration for acquiring SW Kenetics Inc.

Financing Activities

We financed our operations primarily from the issuance of equity instruments. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,409,100. This was the net effect of $2,465,540 generated from the sale of Common Stock, net of cash payments of $285,981 in conjunction with the Unit offerings. Additionally, $936,750 was generated from accounts receivable factoring and $415,000 of cash was generated from the issuance of a related party note payable, These increases to our financing activities were offset by payment of $1,500,000 on the related party notes payable, $322,209 toward our insurance premium note payable and a $300,000 payment of our Contingent Consideration Payable.

We financed our operations primarily from the issuance of equity instruments. During the nine month period ended December 31, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was $8,745,878. This was the net effect of $3,591,030 generated from the sale of Common Stock, $4,767,625 from the exercise of warrants,$1,534,000 from the issuance of Convertible Promissory notes, net of cash payments of $872,870 in conjunction with the Unit and Debt offerings. These sales of our securities were offset by payment of $99,907 toward our insurance premium note payable and a $50,000 payment of our Contingent Consideration Payable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Existing working capital, cash flow from operations, bank borrowings, and sales of equity and debt securities are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of stock sales, bank financings, and related-party notes.

We believe financing will be available, both through conventional financing relationships and through the continued sales of our Common Stock. However, there is no assurance that such funding will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. We believe that our current cash on hand, coupled with alternative sources of funding, will be sufficient to satisfy intended capital expenditures, potential acquisitions and general liquidity requirements through at least the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations

As part of the acquisition of our business, we assumed a triple-net operating lease for our 20,000 square foot manufacturing facility located in Payson, Arizona. The terms of the lease provide for a monthly payment of approximately $10,000, which includes an estimate for utilities, taxes, and repairs. This lease expires in November 2021.

We believe this facility will be adequate to meet our needs in the near future. However, we are making plans to expand the building footprint to accommodate additional automation equipment. We intend to pay for these improvements from working capital and will amortize the costs over the remaining lease period.

The following table outlines our future contractual financial obligations associated with this lease by period in which payment is expected, as of December 31, 2019:

On October 16, 2018, we entered into a triple-net operation lease for approximately 21,000 square feet of office and warehousing space located at 7681 East Gray Road, Scottsdale, Arizona. The initial term of the of the Lease expires on December 31, 2023. The terms of the lease provide for a monthly payment of approximately $17,702, which will increase by approximately 4.4% each year.

The following table outlines our future contractual financial obligations associated with this lease by fiscal period in which payment is expected, as of December 31, 2019:

On March 14, 2019, we entered into a lease for our 50,000 square foot ammunition casing manufacturing facility located in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The terms of the lease provide for a monthly payment of approximately $32,844. The lease expires in March of 2026 and can be renewed every three years thereafter.

The following table outlines our future contractual financial obligations associated with this lease by fiscal period in which payment is expected, as of December 31, 2019:

In connection with the acquisition of SW Kenectics, Inc. The agreement specifies that $1,250,000 of consideration is deferred pending the completion of specific milestones. Since the acquisition date, the Company has made $100,000 in payment to the shareholder of SW Kenetics, Inc. in connection with the completion of milestones. The $100,000 payment reduced the Contingent Consideration Payable. As a result of the deferral of consideration pending the completion of specific milestones, the Company has estimated the timing of the future obligations.

The following table outlines our future contractual financial obligations associated with this contingent consideration payable by fiscal period in which payments is expected as of December 31, 2019:

In connection with the acquisition of the casing division of Jagemann Stamping Company, a promissory note was executed. The promissory note, under which $500,000 was paid on March 25, 2019 using funds raised for the acquisition, had a remaining balance at March 31, 2019 of $9,900,000. On April 30, 2019, the original due date of the note was subsequently extended to April 1, 2020. The note bears interest per annum at approximately 4.6% payable in arrears monthly until October 1, 2019 when the interest rate increases to 9% per annum payable monthly until principal and accrued interest are paid in full. In May of 2019, the Company paid $1,500,000 on the balance of the Note. As of December 31, 2019, we accrued interest of $307,451 related to the note.

The following table outlines our future contractual financial obligations associated with this note by fiscal period in which payments is expected as of December 31, 2019:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, net sales, expenses, results of operations, liquidity capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounted of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We have identified several accounting principles that we believe are key to the understanding of our financial statements. These important accounting policies require our most difficult subjective judgements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory

We state inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. We determine cost by using the weighted-average cost of raw materials method, which approximates the first-in, first-out method and includes allocations of manufacturing labor and overhead. We make provisions when necessary, to reduce excess, potential damaged or obsolete inventories. These provisions are based on our best estimates. At December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2019, we conducted a full analysis of inventory on hand and expensed all inventory not currently in use, or for which there was no future demand.

Research and Development

To date, we have expensed all costs associated with developing our product specifications, manufacturing procedures, and products through our cost of products sold, as this work was done by the same employees who produced the finished product. We anticipate that it may become necessary to reclassify research and development costs into our operating expenditures for reporting purposes as we begin to develop new technologies and lines of ammunition.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue from the production and sale of ammunition. We recognize revenue according to ASC 606. When the customer obtains control over the promised goods or services, we record revenue in the amount of consideration that we can expect to receive in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model to determine revenue recognition:

The Company only applies the five-step model when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception and once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. If a contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Our contracts contain a single performance obligation and the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. We recognize as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Accordingly, we recognize revenues (net) when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product.

Excise Tax

As a result of regulations imposed by the Federal Government for sales of ammunition to non-government U.S. entities, we charge and collect an 11% excise tax for all products sold into these channels. During the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized $138,529 and $44,663 respectively, in excise taxes. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized $374,132 and $327,497, respectively, in excise taxes. For ease in selling to commercial markets, excise tax is included in our unit price for the products sold. We record this through net sales and expense the offsetting tax expense to cost of goods sold.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to us as of December 31, 2019. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

Income Taxes

We follow ASC subtopic 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes”) for recording the provision for income taxes. ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, 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 expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggest that is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets 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 taxes in the period of change.

Stock-Based Compensation

We grant stock-based compensation to key employees and directors as a means of attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel. We also grant stock in lieu of cash compensation for key consultants and service providers. We recognize expense related to stock-based payment transactions in which we receive employee or non-employee services in exchange for equity. We measure stock compensation based on the closing fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

In addition to our base of employees, we also use the services of several contract personnel and other professionals on an “as needed basis”. We plan to continue to use consultants, legal and patent attorneys, engineers and accountants as necessary. We may also expand our staff to support the market roll-out of our products to both the commercial and government related organizations. A portion of any key employee compensation likely would include direct stock grants, which would dilute the ownership interest of holders of existing shares of our Common Stock.
