SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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 (“SEC”). The accompanying 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 filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. The results for the three months ended June 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, 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 month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, (b) the financial position at June 30, 2024, and (c) cash flows for the three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 31 st Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “Ammo”, “we”, “us”, “our,” or the “Company” are to AMMO, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. 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. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. 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. Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” There have been no significant changes to these policies during the three months ended June 30, 2024. For disclosure regarding recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated impact they will have on our operations, please refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. 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 flows. Forecasts of future cash flows 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 flows 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 June 30, 2024, the Company has a goodwill carrying value of $ 90,870,094 AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we reserved $ 3,782,553 3,666,078 Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, 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. (“ATI”), an Arizona corporation, which is 100% owned by us, merged with Hallam, Inc, a Texas corporation, with ATI being the survivor. 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 Assumption Agreement dated to be effective as of August 22, 2017, the Merger closing date. 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 1,864 5,060 AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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. AMMO Technologies, Inc. succeeded all of the assets of SW Kenetics, Inc. and assumed all of the liabilities. 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. 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 12). 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 and Gemini Direct Investments, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Whereby SpeedLight Group I, LLC merged with and into Gemini Direct Investments, LLC, with SpeedLight Group I, LLC surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. At the time of the Merger, Gemini Direct Investments, LLC had nine (9) 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 include a tradename, 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 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 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 contact ● Determination of the transaction price ● Allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance allocation ● Recognition of revenue when performance obligations are satisfied AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 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 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. Banner Advertising Campaign Revenue consists of fees charged to customers for advertisement placement and impressions generated through the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to generate the number of impressions specified by the customer on banner advertisements on the GunBroker website using the placement selected by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on standalone selling prices, or by advertising insertion order as negotiated by a media broker. If the number of impressions promised is not generated, the customer receives a refund and the refund is applied to the transaction price. Banner advertising campaigns generally run for one month, and revenue is recognized at a point in time at the end of the selected month. Product Sales consists of fees charged for the liquidation of excess inventory for partner distributors. The performance obligation is to sell and ship the inventory item as initiated by the customer. The price depends on whether the inventory is a fixed price item or an auction item. For a fixed price item, the Company performs research to determine the current market rate for such an item, and the item is listed at that price. For an auction item, the price is set by what the buyer is willing to pay. The Company acts as a principal in these transactions due to the extent of control they have over the product prior to the sale. Due to the principal determination, gross revenue is recognized at a point in time when the item has been shipped. Identity Verification consists of fees charged to customers for identity verification in order to gain access to the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to process the identity verification as initiated by the customer. The price is set by the GunBroker user agreement on the website based on a stand-alone selling price. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the identity verification is completed. AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and year end March 31, 2024, the Company’s customers that comprised more than ten percent (10%) of total revenues and accounts receivable were as follows. SCHEDULE OF CONCENTRATION RISK OF TOTAL REVENUES AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Revenues at June 30, 2024 Accounts Receivable PERCENTAGES Ended June 30, 2024 March 31, 2024 Customers: A - - 11.8 % - - - Disaggregated Revenue Information The following table represents 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. We note that revenue recognition processes are consistent between product and service type, however, the amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows may vary by each product type due to the customers of each product and service type. SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATED REVENUE FROM CUSTOMERS BY SEGMENT June 30, 2024 June 30, 2023 For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 June 30, 2023 Ammunition sales (1) $ 13,359,554 $ 14,106,029 Marketplace fee revenue 12,281,991 13,912,202 Ammunition casings sales 5,312,005 6,236,344 Total Sales $ 30,953,550 $ 34,254,575 (1) Included in revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are excise taxes of $ 1,303,603 1,175,796 Ammunition products are sold through “Big Box” retailers, manufacturers, local ammunition stores, and shooting range operators. We also sell direct to customers online. In contrast, our ammunition casings products are sold to manufacturers. Marketplace fees are generated through our GunBroker online auction marketplace. Cost of Revenues Cost of Revenues for our ammunition segment consists of product cost and cost directly and indirectly associated with getting those products to a sellable state and for our marketplace segment, consists of cost associated with facilitating transactions on the platform. 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 $ 108,802 119,638 110,542 138,657 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. AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 5 10 40 Compensated Absences We accrue a liability for compensated absences in accordance with Accounting Standards Codifications 710 – Compensation – General (“ASC 710”) . 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. 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% 1.3 1.2 Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to us as of June 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 measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods and forfeitures are recognized in the periods they occur. We account for common stock purchase option awards by estimating the fair value of each option award on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses assumption and estimates that we believe are reasonable. There were 155,129 390,111 Concentrations of Credit Risk Accounts at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $ 250,000 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. AMMO, Inc. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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 Company also received notice in October 2022 that an OSHA whistleblower complaint had been filed with the US Department of Labor by an employee that had been terminated for cause. The regulatory filing was received after AMMO refused to capitulate to the former employee’s demands. AMMO has produced documents and submitted its position statement to OSHA and the matters is currently pending at the agency level. A former employee was terminated for cause who is seeking contract wages and stock that was earned but clawed back upon their termination. In that case, the Company received a favorable ruling on a partial motion for summary judgment wherein the arbitrator ruled the employee had refused to return funds he received as reimbursement for invoices he never paid. The arbitrator, thus, granted the Company’s partially dispositive motion. The remaining claims went to an arbitration hearing which was completed and the arbitrator ordered closing briefs, which the parties exchanged. On June 11, 2024, the Arbitrator entered an Arbitration Award in which found in the former employee’s favor of their contract claim, but against the former employee on their breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The Arbitrator awarded the Company an offset for the invalid business expenses for which the former employee was reimbursed. The Arbitrator also ordered return of the shares to which AMMO claimed entitlement. The Arbitrator awarded the former employee severance payments, attorneys fees and costs, which the Company timely paid the arbitration award. On April 30, 2023, Director and stockholder Steve Urvan filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery 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 recission of the Merger and compensatory damages of not less than $ 140 AMMO, Inc.
