Risksand Challenges That We Face

Aninvestment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks summarized below and theother risks that are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus immediately following thisprospectus summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Implicationsof being an Emerging Growth Company

Weare an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act,as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage ofcertain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growthcompanies” including, but not limited to:

●being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related disclosure in “Management’sDiscussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus;

●being permitted to provide less extensive narrative disclosure than other public companies including not being required to complywith the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and reduced disclosure obligationsregarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements;

●being permitted to utilize exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation andstockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved;

●being permitted to defer complying with certain changes in accounting standards; and

●being permitted to use test-the-waters communications with qualified institutional buyers and institutional accredited investors.

Weintend to take advantage of these and other exemptions available to “emerging growth companies.” We could remain an“emerging growth company” until the earliest of (a) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversaryof the closing of this offering, (b) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion,(c) the last day of our fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act (which would occur if the market value of our equity securities thatis held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter),or (d) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

TheJOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” like us to take advantage of an extended transition period to complywith new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. This means that an “emerging growth company”can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We haveelected to delay such adoption of new or revised accounting standards.

RISKFACTORS

Aninvestment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, togetherwith all of the other information included in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risksactually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of ourshares of common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-LookingStatements” below for a discussion of forward-looking statements and the significance of such statements in the contextof this prospectus.

RisksRelated to Our Company

Wehave a limited operating history on which to judge our business prospects and management.

Ourcompany was incorporated and commenced operations in April 2012. Accordingly, we have only a limited operating history upon whichto base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertaintiesand we cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain profitability. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risksencountered by companies in the early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Futureoperating results will depend upon many factors, including increasing the number of affiliates, our success in attracting andretaining motivated and qualified personnel, our ability to establish short term credit lines, our ability to develop and marketnew products, control costs, and general economic conditions. We cannot assure you that we will successfully address any of theserisks.

Certainprovisions of our Articles of Incorporation could allow concentration of voting power in one individual, which may, among otherthings, delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or a takeover attempt, even if such events may be beneficial toour shareholders.

Provisionsof our articles of incorporation adopted by our Board of Directors, such as our ability to designate and issue a class of preferredstock, may delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors and may prevent or delay a merger, tender offer or proxy contestinvolving our Company that is not approved by our Board of Directors, even if those events may be perceived to be in the bestinterests of our shareholders. For example, one or more of our affiliates could theoretically be issued a newly authorized anddesignated class of shares of our preferred stock. Such shares could have significant voting power, among other terms. Consequently,anyone to whom these shares were issued could have sufficient voting power to significantly influence if not control the outcomeof all corporate matters submitted to the vote of our common shareholders. Those matters could include the election of directors,changes in the size and composition of the Board of Directors, and mergers and other business combinations involving our Company.In addition, through any such person’s control of the Board of Directors and voting power, the affiliate may be able tocontrol certain decisions, including decisions regarding the qualification and appointment of officers, dividend policy, accessto capital (including borrowing from third-party lenders and the issuance of additional equity securities), and the acquisitionor disposition of assets by our Company. In addition, the concentration of voting power in the hands of an affiliate could havethe effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our Company, even if the change in control would benefit our shareholdersand may adversely affect the future market price of our common stock should a trading market therefor develop.

Wemay need, but be unable, to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our shareholders or impose burdensomefinancial restrictions on our business.

Wehave relied upon cash from financing activities and in the future, we hope to rely on revenues generated from operations to fundthe cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate any significant cashfrom our operating activities in the future. Future financing may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts oron terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the common stock will likelyinclude financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would havea material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose ourexisting sources of funding and impair our ability to secure new sources of funding.

Wehave recorded a net loss for the years ended December 31. We may not be able to generate any profit in the foreseeable future. 

Forthe year ended December 31, 2018, we realized a net loss of $27,651,412 compared to a net loss of $5,941,457 for the year endedDecember 31, 2017. Although we reported losses for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, there is no assurance that theprofits will be realized in fiscal 2019 or thereafter. We believe that our current cash balances coupled with anticipated cashflow from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for at least one year from the dateof the issuance of the accompanying financial statements. We continue to control our cash expenses as a percentage of expectedrevenue on an annual basis and thus may use our cash balances in the short-term to invest in revenue growth. Based on currentinternal projections, we believe that we have or /will have or will generate sufficient cash for our operational needs, includingany required debt payments, for at least one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying financial statements. Managementis focused on growing the Company’s existing product offering, as well as its customer base, to increase its revenues. Wecannot give assurance that we can increase our cash balances or limit our cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient cash balancesfor our planned operations or future acquisitions. Future business demands may lead to cash utilization at levels greater thanrecently experienced. We may need to raise additional capital in the future. However, we cannot assure that we will be able toraise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Subject to the foregoing, management believes that the Company has sufficientcapital and liquidity to fund its operations for at least one year from the date of issuance of the accompanying financial statements.

Technologychanges rapidly in our business, and if we fail to anticipate new technologies, the quality, timeliness and competitiveness ofour products will suffer.

Rapidtechnology changes in our industry require us to anticipate, sometimes years in advance, which technologies our products musttake advantage of in order to make them competitive in the market at the time they are released. Therefore, we usually start ourproduct development with a range of technical development goals that we hope to be able to achieve. We may not be able to achievethese goals, or our competition may be able to achieve them more quickly than we can. In either case, our products may be technologicallyinferior to competitive products, or less appealing to consumers, or both. If we cannot achieve our technology goals within theoriginal development schedule of our products, then we may delay products until these technology goals can be achieved, whichmay delay or reduce revenue and increase our development expenses. Alternatively, we may increase the resources employed in researchand development in an attempt to accelerate our development of new technologies, either to preserve our product launch scheduleor to keep up with our competition, which would increase our development expenses and adversely affect our operations and financialcondition.

Wemust effectively manage the growth of our operations, or our Company will suffer.

Oursignificant increase in the scope and the scale of our mobile product launch, including the hiring of additional personnel, hasresulted in significantly higher operating expenses. As a result, we anticipate that our operating expenses will continue to increase.Expansion of our operations may also cause a significant demand on our management, finances and other resources. Our ability tomanage the anticipated future growth, should it occur, will depend upon a significant expansion of our accounting and other internalmanagement systems and the implementation and subsequent improvement of a variety of systems, procedures and controls. There canbe no assurance that significant problems in these areas will not occur. Any failure to expand these areas and implement and improvesuch systems, procedures and controls in an efficient manner at a pace consistent with our business could have a material adverseeffect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that our attempts to expand ourmarketing, sales, manufacturing and customer support efforts will be successful or will result in additional sales or profitabilityin any future period. As a result of the expansion of our operations and the anticipated increase in our operating expenses, aswell as the difficulty in forecasting revenue levels, we expect to continue to experience significant fluctuations in our resultsof operations.

Becausewe have transactions with companies in China, we may have limited legal recourse under Chinese law if disputes arise with thirdparties.

TheChinese government has enacted some laws and regulations dealing with matters such as corporate organization and governance, foreigninvestment, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property, commerce, taxation and trade. However, the PRC’s experiencein implementing, interpreting and enforcing these laws and regulations is limited, and our ability to enforce commercial claimsor to resolve commercial disputes is unpredictable. If any new business ventures in which we may become involved are unsuccessful,or other adverse circumstances arise from these transactions, we face the risk that the parties to these ventures may seek waysto terminate the transactions, or, may hinder or prevent us from accessing important information regarding the financial and businessoperations of any acquired companies. The resolution of these matters may be subject to the exercise of considerable discretionby agencies and other instrumentalities of the Chinese government or those acting on its behalf, and forces unrelated to the legalmerits of a particular matter or dispute may influence their determination. Any rights we may have to specific performance, orto seek an injunction under Chinese law, in either of these cases, are severely limited, and without a means of recourse by virtueof the Chinese legal system, we may be unable to prevent these situations from occurring. The occurrence of any such events couldhave a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Relianceon foreign suppliers could adversely affect our business.

Wesource our products from suppliers located in Asia and the United States. Our Asian vendors are located primarily in China, whichsubjects us to various risks within the region including regulatory, political, economic and foreign currency changes. Our abilityto select and retain reliable vendors and suppliers who provide timely deliveries of quality products efficiently will impactour success in meeting customer demand for timely delivery of quality products. Our sourcing operations and our vendors are impactedby labor costs in China. Labor historically has been readily available at low cost relative to labor costs in North America. However,as China is experiencing rapid social, political and economic changes, labor costs have risen in some regions and there can beno assurance that labor will continue to be available to us in China at costs consistent with historical levels or that changesin labor or other laws will not be enacted which would have a material adverse effect on our ability to source our products fromChina. Interruption of supplies from any of our vendors, or the loss of one or more key vendors, could have a negative effecton our business and operating results.

Changesin currency exchange rates might negatively affect the profitability and business prospects of our Company and our overseas vendors.In particular, although the Chinese Renminbi has recently depreciated against the U.S. Dollar, if the Chinese Renminbi appreciateswith respect to the U.S. Dollar in the future, we may experience cost increases on such purchases, and this can adversely impactprofitability. Future interventions by China may result in further currency appreciation and increase our product costs over time.We may not be successful at implementing customer pricing or other actions in an effort to mitigate the related effects of theproduct cost increases.

Additionalfactors that could adversely affect our business include increases in transportation costs, new or increased import duties, transportationdelays, work stoppages, capacity constraints and poor quality.

Contractdrafting, interpretation and enforcement in China involve significant uncertainty.

Wehave entered into numerous contracts governed by PRC law, many of which are material to our business. As compared with contractsin the United States, contracts governed by PRC law tend to contain less detail and to not be as comprehensive in defining contractingparties’ rights and obligations. As a result, contracts in China are more vulnerable to disputes and legal challenges. Inaddition, contract interpretation and enforcement in China is not as developed as in the United States, and the result of anycontract dispute is subject to significant uncertainties. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to disputesunder our material contracts, and if such disputes arise, we cannot assure you that we will prevail.

Wemay be unable to successfully expand our production capacity, which could result in material delays, quality issues, increasedcosts and loss of business opportunities, which may negatively impact our product margins and profitability.

Partof our future growth strategy is to increase our production capacity to meet increasing demand for our existing goods. Assumingwe obtain sufficient funding to increase our production capacity, any projects that we undertake to increase such capacity maynot be constructed on the anticipated timetable or within budget. We may also experience quality control issues as we implementthese production upgrades. Any material delay in completing these projects, or any substantial increase in costs or quality issuesin connection with these projects, could materially delay our ability to bring our products to market and adversely affect ourbusiness, reduce our revenue, income and available cash, all of which could result in harming our financial condition.

Werely on highly skilled personnel and the continuing efforts of our executive officers and, if we are unable to retain, motivateor hire qualified personnel, our business may be severely disrupted.

Ourperformance largely depends on the talents, knowledge, skills and know-how and efforts of highly skilled individuals and in particular,the expertise held by our Chief Executive Officer, Michael Panosian. His absence, were it to occur, could materially and adverselyimpact the development and implementation of the projects and businesses. Our future success depends on our continuing abilityto identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization. Our continued abilityto compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new technology developers and to retain and motivate our existing contractors.If one or more of our executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able toreplace them readily, if at all. Therefore, our business may be severely disrupted, and we may incur additional expenses to recruitand retain new officers. In addition, if any of our executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose someof our customers.

RisksRelated to Our Business

Wehave limited manufacturing capabilities and we are dependent upon third parties to manufacture our product.

Weare dependent upon our relationships with independent manufacturers to fulfill most of our product needs. While we have severalmanufacturing facilities available to us, we currently are using only one manufacturer for each of our products besides our limitedcapabilities. Accordingly, we are dependent on the uninterrupted and efficient operation of these manufacturers’ facilities.Our ability to market and sell our products requires that our product be manufactured in commercial quantities, without significantdelay and in compliance with applicable federal and state regulatory requirements. In addition, we must be able to have our productsmanufactured at a cost that permits us to charge a price acceptable to the customer while also accommodating any distributioncosts or third-party sales compensation. If our current manufacturers are unable for any reason to fulfill our requirements, orseek to impose unfavorable terms, we will have to seek out other contract manufacturers, which could disrupt our operations andhave a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition. Competitors who perform their own manufacturingmay have an advantage over us with respect to pricing, availability of products, and in other areas through their control of themanufacturing process.

Weface significant competition and continuous technological change, and developments by competitors may render our licensed technologiesobsolete or non-competitive. If we cannot successfully compete with new or existing products, our marketing and sales will sufferand we may not ever be profitable.

Ifwe are able to fund and implement our business plan we will likely compete against fully integrated technology companies and smallercompanies that are collaborating with larger technology companies. In addition, many of these prospective competitors, eitheralone or together with their collaborative partners, operate larger research and development programs than we do, and have substantiallygreater financial resources than we do.

Ifour prospective competitors develop and commercialize technologies faster than we do or develop and commercialize technologiesthat are superior to our technology candidates, our commercial opportunities will be reduced or eliminated. The extent to whichany of our technology candidates achieve market acceptance will depend on competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control.Competition in the technology industry is intense and has been accentuated by the rapid pace of development. Almost all of theseentities have substantially greater research and development capabilities and financial, scientific, manufacturing, marketingand sales resources than we do. These organizations also compete with us to:

Ourcompetitors may succeed in developing and commercializing products earlier than we do. Our competitors may also develop productsor technologies that are superior to those we are developing and render our technology candidates or technologies obsolete ornon-competitive. If we cannot successfully compete with new or existing products and technologies, our marketing and sales willsuffer and we may not ever be profitable.

Ourdevelopment of innovative features for current products is critical to sustaining and growing our sales.

Historically,our ability to provide value-added custom engineered products that address requirements of technology and space utilization hasbeen a key element of our success. We spend a significant amount of time and effort to refine, improve and adapt our existingproducts for new customers and applications. The introduction of new product features requires the coordination of the design,manufacturing and marketing of the new product features with current and potential customers. The ability to coordinate theseactivities with current and potential customers may be affected by factors beyond our control. While we will continue to emphasizethe introduction of innovative new product features that target customer-specific opportunities, we do not know if any new productfeatures we introduce will achieve the same degree of success that we have achieved with our existing products. Introduction ofnew product features typically requires us to increase production volume on a timely basis while maintaining product quality.Manufacturers often encounter difficulties in increasing production volumes, including delays, quality control problems and shortagesof qualified personnel or raw materials. As we attempt to introduce new product features in the future, we do not know if we willbe able to increase production volume without encountering these or other problems, which might negatively impact our financialcondition or results of operations.

Ourproducts may never achieve market acceptance by customers in markets necessary for commercial success and the market opportunitymay be smaller than we estimate.

Therecan be no assurance that the market will continue the acceptance of our products we introduced in recent years or will acceptnew products, such as our mobile device products and our proposed clothing line for the construction industry scheduled for introductionin 2019. There can also be no assurance that the level of sales generated from these new products (including the introductionof products into new geographic markets) relative to our expectations will materialize. Market acceptance of any product candidatedepends on a number of factors including, but not limited to:

Anyfailure by any of our product candidates to achieve market approval or commercial success would adversely affect our businessprospects.

Weare just commencing commercialization of our new mobile device products.

Evenif we are successful in developing these new products that reach commercialization, we will not be successful unless these productsgain market acceptance. The degree of market acceptance of these products will depend on a number of factors, including:

Evenif we successfully develop one or more of these products, we may not become profitable.

Risksassociated with the disruption of manufacturing operations could adversely affect profitability or competitive position.

Wemanufacture a limited portion of the products we sell. Any prolonged disruption in the operations of our or our manufacturers’existing manufacturing facilities, whether due to technical or labor difficulties, facility consolidation or closure actions,lack of raw material or component availability, destruction of or damage to any facility (as a result of natural disasters, useand storage of hazardous materials or other events), or other reasons, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financialcondition, results of operations and cash flows.

Theinability to continue to introduce new products that respond to customer needs and achieve market acceptance could result in lowerrevenues and reduced profitability.

Salesfrom new products represent a significant portion of our net sales and are expected to continue to represent a significant componentof our future net sales. We may not be able to compete effectively unless we continue to enhance existing products or introducenew products to the marketplace in a timely manner. Product improvements and new product introductions require significant financialand other resources, including significant planning, design, development, and testing at the technological, product and manufacturingprocess levels. Our competitors’ new products may beat our products to market, be more effective with more features, beless expensive than our products, and/or render our products obsolete. Any new products that we develop may not receive marketacceptance or otherwise generate any meaningful net sales or profits for us relative to our expectations based on, among otherthings, existing and anticipated investments in manufacturing capacity and commitments to fund advertising, marketing, promotionalprograms and research and development.

Theglobal tool, equipment, and diagnostics and repair information industries are competitive.

Weface strong competition in all of our market segments. Price competition in our various industries is intense and pricing pressuresfrom competitors and customers are increasing. In general, as a manufacturer and marketer of premium products and services, theexpectations of our customers are high and continue to increase. Any inability to maintain customer satisfaction could diminishour premium image and reputation and could result in a lessening of our ability to command premium pricing. We expect that thelevel of competition will remain high in the future, which could limit our ability to maintain or increase market share or profitability.

Productliability claims and other kinds of litigation could affect our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operationsand cash flows.

Theproducts that we design and/or manufacture, and/or the services we provide, can lead to product liability claims or other legalclaims being filed against us. To the extent that plaintiffs are successful in showing that a defect in a product’s design,manufacture or warnings led to personal injury or property damage, or that our provision of services resulted in similar injuryor damage, we may be subject to claims for damages. Although we are insured for damages above a certain amount, we bear the costsand expenses associated with defending claims, including frivolous lawsuits, and are responsible for damages below the insuranceretention amount. In addition to claims concerning individual products, as a manufacturer, we can be subject to costs, potentialnegative publicity and lawsuits related to product recalls, which could adversely impact our results and damage our reputation.

Wemay from time to time become subject to legal proceedings other than those relating to product liability claims.

OnAugust 16, 2016, Edwin Minassian filed a complaint against the Company and Michael Panosian, our Chief Executive Officer, in theSuperior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. The complaint alleges breach of oral contracts to pay Mr. Minassian for consultingand finder’s fees, and to hire him as an employee. The complaint further alleges, among other things, fraud and misrepresentationrelating to the alleged tender of $100,000 to the Company in exchange for “a 2% stake in ToughBuilt” of which only$20,000 was delivered. The complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, declaratory relief concerning the plaintiff’s contentionthat he has an unresolved 9% ownership stake in ToughBuilt and other relief according to proof. On April 12, 2018, the Court enteredjudgments against the Company and Mr. Panosian in the amounts of $7,080 and $235,542, plus awarding Mr. Minassian a 7% ownershipinterest in the Company (the “Judgments”). Mr. Minassian served notice of entry of the judgments on April 17, 2018and the Company and Mr. Panosian received notice of the entry of the default judgments on April 19, 2018. On April 25, 2018, theCompany and Mr. Panosian filed a motion to have the April 12, 2018 default judgment on Plaintiff’s Complaint, the February13, 2018 defaults, and April 14, 2017 Order for terminating sanctions striking Defendants’ Answer set aside on the basisof their former attorney’s declaration that his negligence resulted in the default judgment, default, and terminating sanctionsbeing entered against the Company and Mr. Panosian. The motion was denied. On September 13, 2018, the Company and Panosian satisfiedthe Judgments by the Company making a payment of $252,950 (which included $10,303 post judgment interest) to Minassian and byMr. Panosian issuing him shares reflecting a 7% ownership stake in the Company from management owned shares. On October 18, 2018,the Company and Mr. Panosian filed a Notice of Appeal in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County, withrespect to the Order denying their motion for relief from the above referenced default judgment. The appeal is still pending.

Ourproducts could be recalled.

TheConsumer Product Safety Commission or other applicable regulatory bodies may require the recall, repair or replacement of ourproducts if those products are found not to be in compliance with applicable standards or regulations. A recall could increasecosts and adversely impact our reputation.

Weplan to expand our international operations, which will subject us to risks inherent with operations outside of the United States.

Althoughwe do not have significant foreign operations at this time other than selling our products through retailers, we intend to seekand expand upon opportunities in foreign markets that we anticipate will constitute significant operations. However, even withthe cooperation of a commercialization partner, conducting product development in foreign countries involves inherent risks, including,but not limited to difficulties in staffing, funding and managing foreign operations; unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;export restrictions; tariffs and other trade barriers; difficulties in protecting, acquiring, enforcing and litigating intellectualproperty rights; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and potentially adverse tax consequences. If we were to experience anyof the difficulties listed above, or any other difficulties, any international development activities and our overall financialcondition may suffer and cause us to reduce or discontinue our international development efforts.

Ourmanagement team has limited experience managing a public company, and regulatory compliance may divert our attention from theday-to-day management of our business.

Ourmanagement team has limited experience managing a publicly-traded company and limited experience complying with the increasinglycomplex laws pertaining to public companies. These obligations typically require substantial attention from our senior managementand could divert our attention away from the day-to-day management of our business.

Ourinternal control over financial reporting does not currently meet the standards required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-OxleyAct of 2002, and failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

Wehave not maintained internal control over financial reporting in a manner that meets the standards of publicly traded companiesrequired by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The rules governing the standards that must be met for our managementto assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possibleremediation. We expect to begin the process of reviewing, documenting and testing our internal control over financial reportingafter completion of this initial public offering. We might encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of anychanges necessary to make a favorable assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot favorably assessthe effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in our financial informationand the price of our common stock could decline.

Underthe supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer,we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)and 15d15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.

Basedon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, ourdisclosure controls and procedures are not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, informationrequired to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and are effective in ensuring thatinformation required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicatedto our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisionsregarding required disclosure. 

Wehave a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, which if left unremediated could materially and adverselyeffect the market price of our common stock.

Asof December 31, 2018, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment, including our internal control overfinancial reporting due to the following material weaknesses. Because we are a small company with only two full time employeesin our finance department, we lacked the ability to have adequate segregation of duties in the financial statement preparationprocess. In addition, lack of adequate review resulted in audit adjustments. Further, the Company did not maintain adequate documentationfor review and approval of matters impacting financial reporting. Lastly, until November 14, 2018, our Board of Directors didnot have any independent members or a director who qualified as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii)of Regulation S-K, there was no independent oversight until the last half of the fourth quarter of our 2018 fiscal year.

Planfor Remediation of Material Weaknesses

Since these entity level controls have a pervasive effect across the organization, managementhas determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. We believe that, since the date that we were made awareof our material weakness, we have improved our internal control over financial reporting by taking certain corrective steps thatwe believe minimize the likelihood of a recurrence. We have designed a disclosure controls and procedures regime pursuant to whichour management has, among other things: (a) identified the definition, objectives, application and scope of our internal controlover financial reporting; (b) delineated the duties of each member of the group responsible for maintaining the adequacy of ourinternal control over financial reporting. This group consists of: (i) our Chief Executive Officer; and (ii) our Chief FinancialOfficer who was engaged to prepare and assure compliance with both our internal control over financial reporting as well as ourdisclosure controls and procedures and review our disclosure controls and procedures on a regular basis, subject to our management’ssupervision.

Wemay need to increase the size of our organization and we may experience difficulties in managing growth.

Weintend to rapidly expand operations to implement our business strategy. We also may acquire other companies or technologies. Anyexpansion or acquisitions are expected to place a significant strain on our managerial, operational, and financial resources.To manage the expected growth of operations, we may need to develop and maintain operational and financial systems and proceduresand controls, which may cause us to incur significant expenses. As we may incur many of these expenses before receiving any significantrevenues from our efforts, it may be more difficult to achieve or maintain profitability.

Aninvestment in our securities is extremely speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

Aninvestment in our securities is extremely speculative and there can be no assurance that investors will obtain any return on theirinvestment. Investors may be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment us, including the risk of losing their entireinvestment.

RisksRelated to Our Intellectual Property

Ifwe are unable to protect our intellectual property, our business may be adversely affected.

Wemust protect the proprietary nature of the intellectual property used in our business. There can be no assurance that trade secretsand other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated, misappropriated or circumvented by third parties. Currently,our intellectual property includes issued patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications and know-how relatedto business, product and technology development. We plan on taking the necessary steps, including but not limited to the filingof additional patents as appropriate. There is no assurance any additional patents will issue or that when they do issue theywill include all of the claims currently included in the applications. Even if they do issue, those new patents and our existingpatents must be protected against possible infringement. Nonetheless, we currently rely on contractual obligations of our employeesand contractors to maintain the confidentiality of our products. To compete effectively, we need to develop and continue to maintaina proprietary position with respect to our technologies, and business. The risks and uncertainties that we face with respect tointellectual property rights principally include the following:

Itis also possible that others may obtain issued patents that could prevent us from commercializing certain aspects of our productsor require us to obtain licenses requiring the payment of significant fees or royalties in order to enable us to conduct our business.If we license patents, our rights will depend on maintaining its obligations to the licensor under the applicable license agreement,and we may be unable to do so. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the work-for-hire, intellectual property assignmentand confidentiality agreements entered into by our employees and consultants, advisors and collaborators will provide meaningfulprotection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosureof such trade secrets, know- how or other proprietary information. The scope and enforceability of patent claims are not systematicallypredictable with absolute accuracy. The strength of our own patent rights depends, in part, upon the breadth and scope of protectionprovided by the patent and the validity of our patents, if any.

Weoperate in an industry with the risk of intellectual property litigation. Claims of infringement against us may hurt our business.

Oursuccess depends, in part, upon non-infringement of intellectual property rights owned by others and being able to resolve claimsof intellectual property infringement without major financial expenditures or adverse consequences. Participants that own, orclaim to own, intellectual property may aggressively assert their rights. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedingsand claims relating to the intellectual property rights of others. Future litigation may be necessary to defend us or our clientsby determining the scope, enforceability, and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish its proprietary rights.Some competitors have substantially greater resources and are able to sustain the costs of complex intellectual property litigationto a greater degree and for longer periods of time. In addition, patent holding companies that focus solely on extracting royaltiesand settlements by enforcing patent rights may target us. Regardless of whether claims that we are infringing patents or otherintellectual property rights have any merit, these claims are time-consuming and costly to evaluate and defend and could:

Inaddition to liability for monetary damages, which may be tripled and may include attorneys’ fees, or, in some circumstances,damages against clients, we may be prohibited from developing, commercializing, or continuing to provide some or all of our productsunless we obtain licenses from, and pay royalties to, the holders of the patents or other intellectual property rights, whichmay not be available on commercially favorable terms, or at all.

Wehave limited foreign intellectual property rights and may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout theworld.

Wehave limited intellectual property rights outside the United States. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents on devices in allcountries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some countries outsidethe United States can be less extensive than those in the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do notprotect intellectual property to the same extent as laws in the United States. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent thirdparties from practicing our inventions in all countries outside the United States, or from selling or importing products madeusing our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictionswhere we have not obtained patents to develop their own products and further, may export otherwise infringing products to territorieswhere we have patents, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States.

Manycompanies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property in foreign jurisdictions. Thelegal systems of certain countries, particularly China and certain other developing countries, do not favor the enforcement ofpatents, trade secrets and other intellectual property, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patentsor marketing of competing products in violation of our proprietary rights generally. To date, we have not sought to enforce anyissued patents in these foreign jurisdictions. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could resultin substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk ofbeing invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties toassert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any,may not be commercially meaningful. The requirements for patentability may differ in certain countries, particularly developingcountries. Certain countries in Europe and developing countries, including China and India, have compulsory licensing laws underwhich a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In those countries, we and our licensors may have limitedremedies if patents are infringed or if we or our licensors are compelled to grant a license to a third party, which could materiallydiminish the value of those patents. This could limit our potential revenue opportunities. Accordingly, our efforts to enforceour intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectualproperty that we develop or license.

Ourpatent position is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions.

Accordingly,we cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforced under our patents or in third-party patents. For example,we might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by each of our pending patent applications and issued patents;we might not have been the first to file patent applications for these inventions; others may independently develop similar oralternative technologies or duplicate any of our technologies; it is possible that none of our pending patent applications willresult in issued patents; our issued patents may not provide a basis for commercially viable technologies, or may not provideus with any competitive advantages, or may be challenged and invalidated by third parties; and, we may not develop additionalproprietary technologies that are patentable.

Asa result, our owned and licensed patents may not be valid and we may not be able to obtain and enforce patents and to maintaintrade secret protection for the full commercial extent of our technology. The extent to which we are unable to do so could materiallyharm our business.

Wehave applied for and will continue to apply for patents for certain products. Such applications may not result in the issuanceof any patents, and any patents now held or that may be issued may not provide us with adequate protection from competition. Furthermore,it is possible that patents issued or licensed to us may be challenged successfully. In that event, if we have a preferred competitiveposition because of such patents, such preferred position would be lost. If we are unable to secure or to continue to maintaina preferred position, we could become subject to competition from the sale of generic products. Failure to receive, inabilityto protect, or expiration of our patents would adversely affect our business and operations.

Patentsissued or licensed to us may be infringed by the products or processes of others. The cost of enforcing our patent rights againstinfringers, if such enforcement is required, could be significant, and we do not currently have the financial resources to fundsuch litigation. Further, such litigation can go on for years and the time demands could interfere with our normal operations.We may become a party to patent litigation and other proceedings. The cost to us of any patent litigation, even if resolved inour favor, could be substantial. Many of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation more effectivelythan we can because of their substantially greater financial resources. Litigation may also absorb significant management time.

Unpatentedtrade secrets, improvements, confidential know-how and continuing technological innovation are important to our scientific andcommercial success. Although we attempt to and will continue to attempt to protect our proprietary information through relianceon trade secret laws and the use of confidentiality agreements with our partners, collaborators, employees and consultants, aswell as through other appropriate means, these measures may not effectively prevent disclosure of our proprietary information,and, in any event, others may develop independently, or obtain access to, the same or similar information.

Internationalintellectual property protection is particularly uncertain, and if we are involved in opposition proceedings in foreign countries,we may have to expend substantial sums and management resources.

Patentand other intellectual property law outside the United States is more uncertain and is continually undergoing review and revisionsin many countries. Further, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extentas the laws of the United States. For example, certain countries do not grant patent claims that are directed to business methodsand processes. In addition, we may have to participate in opposition proceedings to determine the validity of its foreign patentsor its competitors’ foreign patents, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of its efforts and loss of credibilitywith customers.

Ifwe are found to be infringing on patents or trade secrets owned by others, we may be forced to cease or alter our product developmentefforts, obtain a license to continue the development or sale of our products, and/or pay damages.

Ourmanufacturing processes and potential products may violate proprietary rights of patents that have been or may be granted to competitors,universities or others, or the trade secrets of those persons and entities. As our industry expands and more patents are issued,the risk increases that our processes and potential products may give rise to claims that they infringe the patents or trade secretsof others. These other persons could bring legal actions against us claiming damages and seeking to enjoin manufacturing and marketingof the affected product or process. If any of these actions are successful, in addition to any potential liability for damages,we could be required to obtain a license in order to continue to manufacture or market the affected product or use the affectedprocess. Required licenses may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and the results of litigation are uncertain. Ifwe become involved in litigation or other proceedings, it could consume a substantial portion of our financial resources and theefforts of our personnel.

Werely on confidentiality agreements to protect our trade secrets. If these agreements are breached by our employees or other parties,our trade secrets may become known to our competitors.

Werely on trade secrets that we seek to protect through confidentiality agreements with our employees and other parties. If theseagreements are breached, our competitors may obtain and use our trade secrets to gain a competitive advantage over us. We maynot have any remedies against our competitors and any remedies that may be available to us may not be adequate to protect ourbusiness or compensate us for the damaging disclosure. In addition, we may have to expend resources to protect our interests frompossible infringement by others.

RisksRelated to this Offering and the Ownership of Our Common Stock

Ourshares will be subject to potential delisting if we do not maintain the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market.

NASDAQhas rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failureto maintain our listing, or de-listing from NASDAQ, would make it more difficult for shareholders to dispose of our common stockand more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price ofour common stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for anyfinancing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a nationalsecurities exchange.

Therequirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our results ofoperations.

Asa public company in the United States, we will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses.After the consummation of this offering, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires, amongother things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-OxleyAct requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financialreporting. For example, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that our management report on the effectiveness of ourinternal controls structure and procedures for financial reporting. Section 404 compliance may divert internal resources and willtake a significant amount of time and effort to complete. If we fail to maintain compliance under Section 404, or if in the futuremanagement determines that our internal control over financial reporting are not effective as defined under Section 404, we couldbe subject to sanctions or investigations by NASDAQ should we in the future be listed on this market, the SEC, or other regulatoryauthorities. Furthermore, investor perceptions of our Company may suffer, and this could cause a decline in the market price ofour common stock. Any failure of our internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our statedresults of operations and harm our reputation. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, it couldharm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in an adverse opinion on internal controls fromour independent auditors. We may need to hire a number of additional employees with public accounting and disclosure experiencein order to meet our ongoing obligations as a public company, particularly if we become fully subject to Section 404 and its auditorattestation requirements, which will increase costs. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financialcompliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly, although we are currently unable to estimate thesecosts with any degree of certainty. A number of those requirements will require us to carry out activities we have not done previously.Our management team and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to new compliance initiatives and tomeeting the obligations that are associated with being a public company, which may divert attention from other business concerns,which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally,the expenses incurred by public companies generally for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing. Theseincreased costs will require us to divert a significant amount of money that we could otherwise use to develop our business. Ifwe are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our common stock, fines, sanctionsand other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.

Newlaws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure may create uncertainty for public companies,increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming.

Theselaws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, asa result, may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by the courts and other bodies. This could result in continuing uncertaintyregarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. If ourefforts to comply with new laws, regulations, and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodiesdue to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against usand our business may be adversely affected.

Asa public company subject to these rules and regulations, we may find it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liabilityinsurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factorscould also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our Board of Directors, particularly to serveon its audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

Themarket price of our common stock and warrants may be volatile.

Themarket price for our common stock and warrants may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors includingthe following:

Inaddition, if we fail to reach an important research, development or commercialization milestone or result by a publicly expecteddeadline, even if by only a small margin, there could be significant impact on the market price of our common stock. Additionally,as we approach the announcement of anticipated significant information and as we announce such information, we expect the priceof our common stock to be particularly volatile and negative results would have a substantial negative impact on the price ofour common stock and warrants.

Inaddition, in recent years, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatilityhas had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies, including for reasons unrelated to theiroperating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect our stock price, notwithstanding our operating results.The market price of our common stock and warrants will fluctuate and there can be no assurances about the levels of the marketprices for our common stock and warrants.

Insome cases, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, shareholders have often institutedclass action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costsand diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm our business operations and reputation.

Asan “emerging growth company” under applicable law, we will be subject to lessened disclosure requirements, which couldleave our shareholders without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies.

Foras long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we have elected to take advantage ofcertain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerginggrowth companies” including, but not limited to:

Weexpect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” Becauseof these lessened regulatory requirements, our shareholders would be left without information or rights available to shareholdersof more mature companies. We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive if we rely on these exemptions.If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our commonstock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Weare also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and have elected to follow certainscaled disclosure requirements available to smaller reporting companies.

Becausewe have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an “emerginggrowth company” our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Wehave elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1)of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effectivedates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. While we are not currently delaying theimplementation of any relevant accounting standards, in the future we may avail ourselves of this right, and as a result of thiselection, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates. Becauseour financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates, investors may havedifficulty evaluating or comparing our business, performance or prospects in comparison to other public companies, which may havea negative impact on the value and liquidity of our common stock.

FINRAsales practice requirements may also limit your ability to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of ourshares.

FinancialIndustry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) rules require broker-dealers to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investmentis suitable for a customer before recommending that investment to the customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securitiesto their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’sfinancial status, tax status and investment objectives, among other things. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believesthat there is a high probability such speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus,FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which maylimit your ability to buy and sell our shares, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress our shareprice.

Ourcompliance with complicated U.S. regulations concerning corporate governance and public disclosure is expensive. Moreover, ourability to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations is uncertain given our management’s relative inexperiencewith operating U.S. public companies.

Asa publicly reporting company, we are faced with expensive and complicated and evolving disclosure, governance and compliance laws,regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-FrankAct, and, following this offering, the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. New or changing laws, regulations and standards are subjectto varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice mayevolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertaintyregarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. As a result,our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards of a U.S. public company are likely to continue to resultin increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activitiesto compliance activities.

Moreover,our executive officers have little experience in operating a U.S. public company, which makes our ability to comply with applicablelaws, rules and regulations uncertain. Our failure to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to U.S. public companiescould subject us or our management to regulatory scrutiny or sanction, which could harm our reputation and stock price.

Ifresearch analysts do not publish research about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock,our stock price and trading volume could decline.

Thetrading market for our securities may depend in part on the research and reports that research analysts publish about us and ourbusiness. If we do not maintain adequate research coverage, or if any of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publishinaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our common stock and warrants could decline. If one or moreof our research analysts ceases to cover our business or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our securities coulddecrease, which could cause the price of our common stock and warrants or trading volume to decline.

Wemay issue additional equity securities, or engage in other transactions that could dilute our book value or relative rights ofour common stock, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and warrants.

OurBoard of Directors may determine from time to time that it needs to raise additional capital by issuing additional shares of ourcommon stock or other securities. Except as otherwise described in this prospectus, we will not be restricted from issuing additionalshares of common stock, including securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive,shares of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions andother factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of any future offerings, or theprices at which such offerings may be affected. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of existing shareholders orreduce the market price of our common stock and warrants, or both. Holders of our securities are not entitled to pre-emptive rightsor other protections against dilution. New investors also may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to, andthat adversely affect, then-current holders of our securities. Additionally, if we raise additional capital by making offeringsof debt or preference shares, upon our liquidation, holders of our debt securities and preference shares, and lenders with respectto other borrowings, may receive distributions of its available assets before the holders of our common stock.

Wedo not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, and consequently, your ability to achievea return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

Wehave never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of ourcommon stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation,which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments. There is no guarantee that shares ofour common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our shareholders have purchased their shares.

BUSINESS

Overview

Ourcompany was formed on April 9, 2012 as Phalanx, Inc., under the laws of the State of Nevada and changed its name to ToughBuiltIndustries, Inc. on December 29, 2015. We were formed to design, manufacture and distribute innovative tools and accessories tothe building industry. We market and distribute various home improvement and construction product lines for both do it yourself(“DIY”) and professional markets under the TOUGHBUILT® brand name, within the global multibillion dollar per yeartool market. All of our products are designed by our in-house design team. Since our initial launch of product sales six yearsago, we have experienced significant annual sales growth from approximately $1,000,000 in 2013 to $15,289,400 in 2018.

SinceAugust 2013, pursuant to a Service Agreement, we have been collaborating with Belegal, a Chinese firm, whose team of experts hasprovided ToughBuilt with additional engineering, sourcing services and quality control support for our operations in China. Belegalassists us with supply-chain management (process and operations in China) for our operations in China, among other things, facilitatingthe transmission of our purchase orders to our suppliers in China, conducting “in-process” quality checking and inspection,and shipping end-products manufactured in China to their final destinations. In accordance with the agreement, we pay all of themonthly costs for payroll, overhead and other operation expenses associated with the Belegal’s activities on behalf of ToughBuilt.

Ourbusiness is currently based on development of innovative and state of the art products, primarily in tools and hardware category,with particular focus on building and construction industry with the ultimate goal of making life easier and more productive forthe contractors and workers alike. Our current product line includes two major categories related to this field, with severaladditional categories in various stages of development, consisting of Soft Goods and Kneepads and Sawhorses and Work Products.

Ourmission consists, of providing products to the building and home improvement communities that are innovative, of superior qualityderived in part from enlightened creativity for our end users while enhancing performance, improving well-being and building highbrand loyalty.

RecentBusiness Developments

Thefollowing highlights recent developments in our business over the past four years:

Products

Wecreate innovative products that help our customers build faster, build stronger and work smarter. We accomplish this by listeningto what our customers wants and need and researching how professionals work, then we create tools that help them save time, savehassle and save money.

TOUGHBUILT®manufactures and distributes an array of high quality and rugged tool belts, tool bags and other personal tool organizer products.We also manufacture and distribute a complete line of knee pads for various construction applications. Our line of job-site toolsand material support products consists of a full line of miter-saw and table saw stands and saw horses/job site tables and rollerstands. All of our products are designed and engineered in the United States and manufactured in China and India under our qualitycontrol supervision. We do not need government approval for any of our products.

Oursoft sided tool storage line is designed for a wide range of do-it-yourself and professional needs. This line of pouches and tooland accessories bags is designed to organize your tools faster and easier. Interchangeable pouches clip on and off any belt, bagladder wall or vehicle. Our products let you carry what you want so you have it when you want it.

ToughBuilt’swide mouth tool carry-all bags come in sizes from 12 inches to 30 inches. They all have steel reinforced handles and padded shoulderstraps which allow for massive loads to be carried with ease. Rigid plastic hard-body lining protects everything inside. Doublemesh pockets included inside provide complete visibility for stored items. They include a lockable zipper for added security andsafety and secondary side handles for when it takes more than one to carry the load.

Allof these products have innovative designs with unique features that provide extra functionality and enhanced user experience.Patented features such as our exclusive “Cliptech” mechanism incorporated in some of the products in this line areunique in these products for the industry and have distinguished the line from other similarly situated products thus we believe,increasing appeal amongst the other products of this category in the professional community and among the enthusiasts.

SoftGoods

Theflagship of the product line is the Soft Goods line that consists of over 100 variations of tool pouches, tool rigs, tool beltsand accessories, tools bags, totes, variety of storage solutions, and office organizers/bags for laptop/tablet/cellphones, etc.Management believes that the breadth of the line is one of the deepest in the industry and has specialized designs to suit professionalsfrom all sectors of the industry including plumbers, electricians, framers, builders and more.

Wehave a selection of over 10 models of kneepads, some with revolutionary and patented design features that allow the usersto interchange components to suit particular conditions of use. Management believes that these kneepads are among the best performingkneepads in the industry. Our “all terrain” knee pad protection with snapshell technology is part of our interchangeablekneepad system which helps to customize the jobsite needs. They are made with superior quality using multilevel layered construction,heavy duty webbing and abrasion-resistant PVC rubber.

Sawhorsesand Work Products

Thesecond major category consists of Sawhorses and Work Support products with their unique designs and robust construction targetedfor the most discerning users in the industry. The innovative designs and construction of the more than 15 products in this categoryhave led to the sawhorses becoming the best sellers of category everywhere they are sold. The newest additions in this categoryinclude several stands and work support products that are quickly gaining recognition in the industry and are expected to positionthemselves in the top tier products in a short time. Our sawhorse line, miter saw, table saw & roller stands are built tovery high standards. Our sawhorse/jobsite table is fast to set up, holds 2,400 pounds, has adjustable heights, is made of allmetal construction and has a compact design. These lines of products are slowly becoming the standard in the construction industry.

Allof our products are designed in house with unending innovation and the highest standards to achieve features and benefits fornot only the professional construction worker but also for the do-it-yourself person.

BusinessStrategy

Ourproduct strategy is to develop product lines in a number of categories rather than focus on a single line of goods. This approachallows for rapid growth, wider brand recognition, and may ultimately result in increased sales and profits within an acceleratedtime period. We believe that building brand awareness of our current ToughBuilt lines of products will expand our share of thepertinent markets. Our business strategy includes the following key elements:

Wewill continue to consider other market opportunities while focusing on our customers’ specific requirements to increasesales.

Market

Accordingto “Statista & Statistic Brain” the annual revenue in the construction industry was $1.731 trillion for 2016.There was approximately $394.6 billion in home improvement sales in the U.S. in 2018 (https://www.statista.com/statistics/239759/predicted-sales-of-home-improvement-retailers-in-the-us/).The heavy and civil engineering industry is over $260 billion with tools and hardware alone totaling over $60 billion for thatsame time period. In 2016, there were approximately 729,000 construction companies in the United States employing more than 7.3million employees. In addition to the construction market, our products are marketed to the “do it yourself” and homeimprovement market place. The home improvement industry has fared much better in the aftermath of the Great Recession then thehousing market. The U.S. housing stock of more than 130 million homes requires regular investment merely to offset normal depreciation.And many households that might have traded up to more desirable homes during the downturn decided instead to make improvementsto their current homes. Meanwhile, federal and state stimulus programs encouraged homeowners and rental property owners to investin energy-efficient upgrades that they might otherwise have deferred. Finally, many rental property owners, responding to a surgein demand from households either facing foreclosure or nervous about buying amid the housing market uncertainty, reinvested intheir units.

Asa result, improvement and repair spending held up well compared to residential construction spending. According to “HomeImprovement – Still Growing in 2019”, on www.hiri.org, “the HIRI/IHS Markit forecast expects 5.5%growth in the home improvement products market in 2019 after a strong 6.2% in 2018.”

Totalhome improvement products sales are expected to increase 5.5% in 2018 to $420 billion in total sales. The Professional Marketis expected to increase 6.0% in 2019 over 2018 and the Consumer Market will see a sales increase of 5.3%.

TOUGHBUILT®products are available worldwide in many major retailers ranging from home improvement and construction products and servicesstores to major online outlets. Currently, we have strong placement in Home Depot, Menards, Toolbank (UK), Bunning’s (Australia),Princess Auto (Canada), Dong Shin Tool PIA (S. Korea) as well as seeking to grow our sales in global markets such as Western andCentral Europe, Russia and Eastern Europe, South America and the Middle East.

Retailersby region include:

UnitedStates: Home Depot, Menards, GM products, Fire Safety, Hartville Hardware, ORR, Pooley, YOW, Wesco, Buzzi, and Western PacificBuilding Materials.

Canada:Princess Auto

UnitedKingdom: Toolbank (distribution throughout the U.K. and online selling for Europe).

France:Birck

Australia:Bunnings

NewZealand: Bunnings

Russia:VSEInstrumenti.ru

SouthKorea: Dong Shin Tool PIA Co., Ltd.

Weare actively expanding into markets in Mexico and Latin American Countries the Middle East, the UAE and South Africa.

Weare currently in product line reviews and discussions with Lowe’s, Home Depot Canada, Do It Best, True Value and other majorretailers both domestically and internationally. A product line review requires the supplier to submit a comprehensive proposalwhich includes product offerings, prices, competitive market studies and relevant industry trends and other information. Managementanticipates, within the near term, adding to its customer base up to three major retailers, along with several distributors andprivate retailers within six sectors and among 56 targeted countries.

Innovationand Brand Strength

Managementbelieves that the robust capabilities at ToughBuilt eclipse those of most competitors as not every distributor or factory hasthe ability to quickly identify industry and end user opportunities and execute quickly to deliver winning product lines consistently.Also, in our view, most distributors and factories do not have a recognizable and reputable brand or the proven ability to reachmajor retailers globally to position their products and brands. We believe that we are able to take a design from concept to marketwithin a very short period of time.

Productand Services Diversification

TOUGHBUILT®is a singular brand with a driven team that is poised to scale into a highly recognized global entity. We aim to grow ToughBuiltwith several significant subsidiaries in the next few years to become the hub/platform for professionals, DIY’s (Do It Yourselfers)and passionate builders everywhere. Management anticipates that future subsidiaries will focus on licensing, gear, mobile, equipmentrentals and maintenance services.

NewProducts

Tools

In2018, we have ordered and launched a new line of gloves and 28 SKUs of tool belt and pouches. We also intend to launch the followingtools in the fourth quarter of 2019:

MobileDevice Products

Since2013, we have been planning, designing, engineering and sourcing the development of a new line of ToughBuilt mobile devices andaccessories to be used in the construction industry and by building enthusiasts. We are planning to have our mobile device productsready to market by mid to late 2019, at which time we intend to commence marketing and selling our mobile device products to ourcurrent global customer base. We believe that increasing numbers of companies in the construction industry are requiring theiremployees to utilize mobile devices not just to communicate with others but to utilize the special apps that will allow the constructionworkers to do their job better and more efficiently. All of our mobile devices are designed and built in accordance with IP-68and military standards level of durability and with the cooperation of Foxconn Manufacturing.

Ourruggedized mobile line of products was created to place customized technology and wide varieties of data in the palm of the buildingprofessionals and enthusiasts such as contractors, subcontractors, foreman, general laborers etc. The devices, accessories andcustom apps allow the users to plan with confidence, organize faster, find labor and products faster, estimate accurately, purchasewisely, protect themselves, workers and their business, create and track invoicing faster and easier.

Bythe fourth quarter of 2019, we intend to launch our T.55 rugged mobile phones and earbud headphones, as well as a “T-Dock”,attachable battery, tri lens camera and tough shield cover and accessories. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we also intend to launchthe following accessories: car charger, QI charger, car mounts and earbud pack, and we will look at sales in the following industries:construction, industrial, military and law enforcement and “.coms”.

Inthe fourth quarter of 2019, we intend to launch the following applications for our mobile phones:

Agreementwith Foxconn

OnOctober 18, 2016, we entered into a Project Statement of Work Agreement (“SOW”) with Hon Hai Precision Ind. Co., Ltd.,a corporation organized under the law of Taiwan (referred to as “Foxconn”) to design, manufacture and supply to usa certain rugged mobile telephone (the “Product”). The Company will pay to Foxconn all fees and costs required todevelop the Product. The Product will be developed by Foxconn to our specifications. We will submit to Foxconn written specifications,features and concepts required to be included in the Product. The specifications are subject to review and update by the partiesand upon written approval by the parties such new or revised specifications will become part of the SOW. The SOW also providesdates for completion of deliverables, such as prototypes, “Beta” testing of the Product, sample assembly of the prototypeand commencement of mass production of the Product. We may terminate the SOW at any time, in which case we must pay the costsfor those portions of the development work completed by Foxconn up to the date of termination. The SOW is governed, construedand enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

MobileDevice Market

Basedupon an annual white paper published by the Mobile and Wireless Practice of Venture Development Corporation, we believe that anincreasing number of companies are requiring their employees to transact business in the field and/or other non-traditional officeenvironments. Because of this and other factors, the construction industry is accelerating its acceptance of wireless technology.We further believe that the construction industry, like other industries, will be leveraging mobile and wireless solutions toaddress the need for greater collaboration among a highly mobile and distributed workforce.

Webelieve that mobility is one of the top technology trends that construction companies are focusing on in 2018 and beyond. Mobiletechnology continues to have a significant impact on business, specifically with regard to business communication as this technologyenhances the ability for colleagues at different locations to easily communicate, enhances customer experience through the improvementof applications and websites available to consumers to do business through their devices “at their fingertips”, andoptimizes business operations as there is instant access to business functions at any time and from any location. (“Impactof Mobile Technology in Business Communication”, by John Smith, dated November 19, 2016 (https://www.business2community.com/tech-gadgets/impact-mobile-technology-business-communication-01704702).

Whilethe construction industry has widely adopted solutions such as push to talk (PTT) telephony applications, the use of mobile andwireless data applications has been limited. IT solutions in general and mobile and wireless solutions specifically have beenadopted at varying degrees within organizations and to support the various phases of construction projects. Currently the businessplanning, engineering and procurement operations have more effectively deployed IT solutions while actual construction operationshave fallen behind in IT infrastructure and field automation solutions. The construction and engineering workforce is inherentlymobile. However, construction sites have never effectively leveraged (wireless) communications networks to connect these distributedand often remote workers and their assets. Nevertheless, construction project managers require real time access to a variety ofinformation, including real time tool inventory management, raw materials deliveries, job costing, time stamping and general projectmanagement information. The challenge, however, is the lack of network access on construction sites resulting in an informationbottleneck on the job site. Buoyed by advances in wireless technologies – including coverage, performance, security andcost of ownership – we believe this is becoming an issue of the past for construction operations.

MobileApps

Weintend to include apps on our mobile devices and are developing, with a third party applications developer, apps which will include,among other things, building codes, permitting, estimating and job listings. The purposes of the apps that are being developedinclude:

SalesStrategy

Thedevices, accessories and bolt on digital tools will be sold through relevant home improvement big box stores, direct marketingto thousands of construction companies, direct marketing to thousands of trade/ wholesale outlets and to professional outlets.

IntellectualProperty

Wehold several patents and trademarks of various durations and believe that we hold, have applied for or license all of the patent,trademark and other intellectual property rights necessary to conduct our business. We utilize trademarks (licensed and owned)on nearly all of our products and believe having distinctive marks that are readily identifiable is an important factor in creatinga market for our goods, in identifying our brands and our Company, and in distinguishing our goods from the goods of others. Weconsider our ToughBuilt^®, Cliptech^®, and Fearless^® trademarks to be among ourmost valuable intangible assets. Trademarks registered both in and outside the U.S. are generally valid for ten years, dependingon the jurisdiction, and are generally subject to an indefinite number of renewals for a like period on appropriate application.

Inthe first quarter of 2019, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted two new design patents (US D840,961 Sand US D841,635 S) that cover ToughBuilt’s ruggedized mobile devices, which are valid for a period of 15 years.

Wealso rely on trade secret protection for our confidential and proprietary information relating to our design and processes forour products. We have entered into and will continue to enter into confidentiality, non-competition and proprietary rights assignmentagreements with our employees and independent contractors. We have entered into and will continue to enter into confidentialityagreements with our suppliers to protect our intellectual property.

Competition

Thetool equipment and accessories industry is highly competitive on a worldwide basis. We compete with a significant number of othertool equipment and accessories manufacturers and suppliers to the construction, home improvement and Do-It-Yourself industry,many of which have the following:

Ourcompetitors’ greater capabilities in the above areas enable them to better differentiate their products from ours, gainstronger brand loyalty, withstand periodic downturns in the construction and home improvement equipment and product industries,compete effectively on the basis of price and production, and more quickly develop new products. These competitors include DeWalt,Caterpillar and Samsung Active.
