SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AMMO, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Basis

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, as amended on July 29, 2024 and as further amended on May 20 ,2025 (as amended, the "Form 10-K/A"). The results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, 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, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial information contains all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, cash flow and changes in stockholders’ equity of the Company for the interim periods presented.

We use the accrual basis of accounting and U.S. GAAP, and all amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company has a fiscal year-end of March 31st.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management 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. Significant estimates made in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements include the valuation of allowances for credit losses, valuation of deferred tax assets, inventories, useful lives of assets, goodwill, intangible assets, stock-based compensation, and warrant-based compensation.

Goodwill

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs, or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In testing for goodwill impairment, we may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If our qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, we perform a two-step impairment test. We test goodwill for impairment

under the two-step impairment test by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value or qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of the reporting units using discounted cash flow. Forecasts of future cash flow are based on our best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily on expected category expansion, pricing, market segment share, and general economic conditions. Due to the declines in the value of our stock price and market capitalization in the year ended March 31, 2023, we assessed qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Marketplace segment is less than its carrying amount. Through our analysis we determined our stock price and market capitalization decline is not indicative of a decrease in the fair value of our Marketplace segment and a fair value calculation using the discounted cash flow was more appropriate due to the operational performance of the reporting segment. Accordingly, the impairment of goodwill was not warranted for the year ended March 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a goodwill carrying value of $90,870,094, all of which was assigned to the Marketplace segment. However, due to declines in the value of the Company's common stock and market capitalization, it is possible that the book values of our Marketplace segment could exceed its fair value, which may result in the recognition of a material, noncash impairment of goodwill for the year ending March 31, 2025.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Our accounts receivable represents amounts due from customers for products sold and include an allowance for estimated credit losses which is estimated based on the collectability and age of the accounts receivable balances and categorization of customers with similar financial condition. At September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we reserved $4,212,299 and $3,666,078, respectively, of allowance for credit losses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

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. The license agreement grants us the exclusive worldwide rights through April 12, 2026 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. 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.

Patents

On September 28, 2017, AMMO Technologies Inc., an Arizona corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“ATI”), merged with Hallam, Inc, a Texas corporation, with ATI being the surviving corporation. 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 ATI pursuant to an Assignment and First Amendment to Exclusive License Assumption Agreement dated to be effective as of August 22, 2017. This asset will be amortized from September 2017, the first full month of the acquired rights, through October 29, 2028.

Under the terms of the Exclusive License Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay a quarterly 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 three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized royalty expenses of $3,636 and $2,610, respectively under this agreement. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized royalty expenses of $5,500 and $7,670, 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.

On October 5, 2018, we completed the acquisition of SW Kenetics Inc. ("SWK"). ATI acquired all of the assets of SWK and assumed all of the liabilities of SWK. The primary asset of SWK was a pending patent for modular projectiles. All rights to patent pending applications were assigned and transferred to ATI pursuant to an intellectual property rights agreement on September 27, 2018.

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 the Company completed its acquisition of assets of Jagemann Stamping Company’s ammunition casing manufacturing and sales operations pursuant to the terms of an amended and restated asset purchase agreement (See Note 13 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets). The intangible assets acquired include a tradename, customer relationships, and intellectual property.

On April 30, 2021, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, SpeedLight Group I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("SpeedLight"), and Gemini Direct Investments, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("Gemini"), whereby SpeedLight merged with and into Gemini, with SpeedLight surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "GunBroker Merger"). At the time of the GunBroker Merger, Gemini had nine subsidiaries, all of which are related to Gemini’s ownership of GunBroker, an online auction marketplace dedicated to firearms, hunting, shooting, and related products. The intangible assets acquired included a trade name, customer relationships, intellectual property, software, and domain names.

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 flow. If the total of the future cash flow 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 and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue from the production and sale of ammunition, ammunition casings, and marketplace fee revenue, which includes auction revenue, payment processing revenue, and shipping income. We recognize revenue according to Accounting Standard Codification – Revenue from Contract with Customers (“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. We apply the following five-step model to determine revenue recognition:

•

Identification of a contract with a customer

•

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

•

Determination of the transaction price

•

Allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance allocation

•

Recognition of revenue when performance obligations are satisfied

We only apply the five-step model when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer 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 determine those that are performance obligations, and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct.

For Ammunition Sales and Casing Sales, 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 our product, which typically occurs upon shipment of the product or the performance of the service. In the year ended March 31, 2021, we began accepting contract liabilities or deferred revenue. We included Deferred Revenue in our Accrued Liabilities. We will recognize revenue when the performance obligation is met.

For Marketplace revenue, the performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is recognized as follows:

Auction revenue consists of optional listing fees with variable pricing components based on customer options selected from the GunBroker website and final value fees based on a percentage of the final selling price of the listed item. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.

Compliance fee revenue consists of fees charged to customers based on a percentage of the final price of an item at the time of purchase. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.

Payment processing revenue consists of fees charged to customers on a transactional basis. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on stand-alone selling prices. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.

Shipping income consists of fees charged to customers for shipping of sold items listed on the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to ship the item sold as initiated by the customer. The price is set based on the third-party service provider selected to be used by the customer as well as the speed and location of shipment. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the shipping label is printed.

Advertising revenue consists of dedicated emails, e-newsletters, video production and advertising, market trends and banner advertising. The performance obligation is to deliver the advertising content. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the advertising content is delivered.

The Company’s customers that comprised more than 10% of total revenues for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, or more than 10% of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 or March 31, 2024 were as follows:


	Revenues				Accounts Receivable
PERCENTAGES	Three Months Ended September 30, 2024		Six Months Ended September 30, 2024		September 30, 2024			March 31, 2024
Customers:
A		-		-		10.1	%		11.8	%
		-		-		10.1	%		11.8	%

Disaggregated Revenue Information

The following table presents a disaggregation of revenue from customers by category. We attribute net sales to categories by product or service types; ammunition, ammunition casings, and marketplace fees. The Company notes that revenue recognition processes are consistent between product and service type, however, the amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow may vary by each product type due to the customers of each product and service type.



	For the Three Months Ended				For the Six Months Ended
	September 30, 2024		September 30, 2023		September 30, 2024		September 30, 2023
Ammunition Sales(1)	$	15,959,912	$	15,516,589	$	29,319,466	$	29,622,618
Marketplace Revenue		11,983,021		12,474,716		24,265,012		26,386,918
Casings Sales		3,476,652		6,381,081		8,788,657		12,617,425
Total Revenue	$	31,419,585	$	34,372,386	$	62,373,135	$	68,626,961

(1)

Included in revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 are excise taxes of $1,350,597 and $2,654,200, respectively. Included in revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 are excise taxes of $1,284,166 and $2,459,962, respectively.

Ammunition products are sold through “Big Box” retailers, manufacturers, local ammunition stores, and shooting range operators. In contrast, our ammunition casings products are sold to manufacturers. Marketplace fees are generated through our GunBroker online auction marketplace.

All ammunition product sales are recorded upon shipment and, depending on credit worthiness of customer, the payment terms will vary from 30 to 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.

Contract Liabilities

Our contract liabilities consist of unearned revenue, which represents upfront payments received from customers for product to be delivered at a future date. Contract liabilities are classified as current or long-term based on the timing of contract obligation. As of September 30, 2024 we had no unearned revenue. As of March 31, 2024, we had unearned revenue of $1.8 million which is included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Advertising Costs

We expense advertising costs under our Ammunition segment as they are incurred in selling and marketing expenses of operating expenses. Marketplace segment advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred in cost of revenues. We incurred advertising expenses under our Ammunition segment of $202,815 and $94,026 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, recognized in selling and marketing expenses and $92,145 and $200,514 of Marketplace segment advertising expenses recognized in cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We incurred advertising expenses under our Ammunition segment of $311,617 and $213,664 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, recognized in selling and marketing expenses and $202,687 and $339,171 of Marketplace segment advertising expenses recognized in cost of revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Inventories

We state inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 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.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; instead, we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments to use the underlying lease asset) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., fixed payments for common-area maintenance costs and other items that transfer a good or

service). Some of our leases include variable lease payments, which primarily result from changes in consumer price and other market-based indices, which are generally updated annually, and maintenance and usage charges. These variable payments are excluded from the calculation of our lease assets and lease liabilities.

We utilize the interest rate implicit in the lease to determine the lease liability when the interest rate can be determined. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Property and Equipment

We state property and equipment at 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 ten 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 other income or 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.

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 and six months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized approximately $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively in excise taxes. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized approximately $1.3 million and $2.5 million, 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 revenues on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to us as of September 30, 2024. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair value. These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, and the construction note payable. 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.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the recognition of the cost of employee, director and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity over the period the employee, director or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award. Stock-based compensation is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting periods and forfeitures are recognized in the periods they occur. There were 369,583 and 730,416 shares of common stock issued to employees, and members of the Board of Directors for services during the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. There were 712,873 and 1,102,894 shares of common stock issued to employees, members of the Board of Directors, and members of our advisory committee for services during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Accounts at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As of September 30, 2024, our bank account balances exceeded federally insured limits, however, we have not incurred losses related to these deposits.

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.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed 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 condensed 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.

The Urvan Lawsuit

On April 30, 2023, director and stockholder Steve Urvan filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Delaware Court") against the Company, and certain AMMO directors, former directors, employees, former employees and consultants. Urvan’s claims include fraudulent inducement, unjust enrichment and violations of the Arizona Securities Act. The suit seeks a court order for partial rescission of the GunBroker Merger and compensatory damages of not less than $140 million. The Company and named defendants are in alignment in all material respects and intend to vigorously defend Urvan’s claims. The Company has engaged Delaware Court litigation specialists to defend its interests in all respects in this case. The Company timely responded to the Urvan Complaint by filing a motion to dismiss. On August 1, 2023, AMMO filed a separate lawsuit against Urvan in the Delaware Court alleging, among other things, that Urvan committed fraud in connection with the GunBroker.com sale, and that Urvan breached his indemnification obligations to AMMO after the sale. On September 11, 2023, the Delaware Court consolidated AMMO’s lawsuit against Urvan with Urvan’s lawsuit against AMMO and the individual defendants. On September 18, 2023, AMMO filed an amended complaint that added a claim against Urvan for breach of the Arizona Securities Act. Urvan moved to dismiss AMMO’s complaint in full. On December 18, 2023, the Delaware Court heard argument on the parties’ motions to dismiss in the consolidated action. On February 27, 2024, the Delaware Court issued an opinion resolving all pending motions to dismiss. The Delaware Court dismissed Urvan’s aiding and abetting claims against the individual defendants, but it declined to dismiss Urvan’s other claims against the individuals and declined to dismiss Urvan’s claims against AMMO. The Delaware Court rejected Urvan’s motion to dismiss AMMO’s claims against him in its entirety. On May 8, 2024, the Delaware Court ordered a case schedule culminating in a five-day trial starting on July 28, 2025. See Note 17, "Subsequent Events" for more developments in this proceeding.

The Books and Records Action

On December 6, 2023, Steve Urvan initiated a separate action against the Company in his capacity as director under 8 Del. C. § 220(d) to inspect certain of the Company’s books and records (the “Books and Records Action”). In the Books and Records Action, Mr. Urvan alleges that the Company wrongfully refused to provide him with access to certain categories of documents following demands that he made on the Company on March 3, 2023, and November 9, 2023. The Company asserted as an affirmative defense that Mr. Urvan’s primary purpose for his demands is, among other things, to obtain documents to support his claims in the Delaware Plenary Litigation, in which discovery was then stayed. The court held a one-day trial on February 26, 2024, in Georgetown, Delaware. On February 27, 2024, the court in the Delaware Plenary Litigation issued an opinion that had the effect of lifting the discovery stay. On February 28, 2024, AMMO informed the judge presiding over the Books and Records Action that “in AMMO’s view,

the Plenary Action Opinion has effectively mooted this Books and Records action.” On April 9, 2024, AMMO began producing documents in response to Mr. Urvan’s demands pursuant to a Stipulation and Order Governing AMMO’s Document Productions. The court has not issued a post-trial ruling and document production remains ongoing.

The MN Action

On January 18, 2024, Innovative Computer Professionals, Inc. d/b/a Digital Cash Processing (“DCP”) filed a civil action in Minnesota state court against Outdoors Online, LLC d/b/a GunBroker.com (“GunBroker”) for breach of contract (the “MN Action”). In the MN Action, DCP alleges that GunBroker.com breached a May 2021 contract, pursuant to which DCP was to provide specified digital payment processing services, and it alleges $100 million in damages. On February 7, 2024, GunBroker.com removed the MN Action to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. On February 14, 2024, GunBroker moved to dismiss the MN Action for lack of personal jurisdiction and for failure to adequately state a claim, or, in the alternative, to transfer the MN Action to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona (the “Motion”). The court denied the Motion and GunBroker filed its Answer and Counterclaims. GunBroker denies the allegations in the MN Action, and it plans to vigorously defend the claims asserted against it. The parties’ initial disclosure statements were exchanged in August, 2024. The Company will continue to participate in the discovery process. This matter is scheduled for trial in November 2025.

The Triton Settlement

On June 24, 2024 the Company entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release (the “Triton Settlement Agreement”) with Triton Value Partners, LLC, Donald Gasgarth, Paul Freischlag, Jr., Jeff Zwitter (the “Plaintiffs,” and together with the Defendants and the Company, the “Parties” or, individually, “Party”), and Steven Urvan and TVP Investments LLC (the “Urvan Defendants”) and GunBroker.com, LLC, IA TECH, LLC, and GB Investments, Inc. (the “GunBroker Defendants,” and collectively with the Urvan Defendants, the “Defendants”) to fully resolve and settle all disputes and claims related to the litigation between the Defendants and Plaintiffs captioned Triton Value Partners, LLC et al. v. TVP Investments, LLC et al., Cobb County Superior Court, CAFN 18104869 (the “Action”). Pursuant to the Triton Settlement Agreement, the GunBroker Defendants agreed to pay the Plaintiffs $8,000,000 (the “Settlement Amount”) in a single lump sum payment. AMMO agreed to tender the Settlement Amount to an escrow agent on behalf of the GunBroker Defendants within 45 days of the Triton Settlement Agreement’s execution. Within five business days of the receipt of the Settlement Amount from the escrow agent, the Plaintiffs agreed to dismiss the Action with prejudice, and the Urvan Defendants agreed to dismiss all counterclaims against the Plaintiffs with prejudice. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined above), Urvan has the exclusive right to settle the Action on behalf of all Defendants and Urvan is obligated to indemnify the Company for certain liabilities, including certain liabilities incurred in connection with the Action. In connection with the Merger Agreement, on April 30, 2021, the Company and Urvan entered into a Pledge and Escrow Agreement (the “Pledge and Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which ten stock certificates in the name of Urvan, with each certificate representing $2.8 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock as of the date of the Pledge and Escrow Agreement (the “Pledged Securities”) were placed in escrow pending resolution of the Action. Pursuant to the Triton Settlement Agreement, a portion of the Pledged Securities in the form of a stock certificate for 2,857,143 shares (the “Stock Certificate”) were sent to the Company’s transfer agent for cancellation on September 30, 2024. Pursuant to the Triton Settlement Agreement, each of the Plaintiffs and the Defendants provided mutual releases of all claims as of June 24, 2024, arising from any allegations set forth in the Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the GunBroker Defendants do not release any claims asserted against Urvan, and Urvan did not release any claims asserted against the Company, the GunBroker Defendants or any individual or entity related to or affiliated with the Company. Upon the Stock Certificate’s cancellation on September 30, 2024, the parties payment obligations under the Triton Settlement Agreement were complete.

On August 8, 2024, the Company paid $8.0 million to the escrow agent in connection with the Triton Settlement Agreement. This resulted in $4.8 million being recorded as a receivable that was reclassed to treasury stock upon Mr. Urvan’s transfer of the shares related to the settlement payment to the Company on September 30, 2024 (see Note 5 – Due from Related Parties).

There were no other known contingencies as of September 30, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of

the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The guidance also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction and requires specific disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. Additionally, it requires that a public entity (1) disclose an amount for “other segment items” by reportable segment, (2) provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and (3) requires that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this proposed ASU and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this proposed ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet or exceed a quantitative threshold. Additionally, it requires all entities disclose the following information about income taxes paid on an annual basis: (1) the year-to-date amounts of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and (2) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this proposed ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application to all periods presented is permitted. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of these changes.

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.
