IndustryData and Forecasts

 

This prospectus contains data related to thepermanent and temporary safes and concealed self-defense products industry in the United States. This industry data includes projectionsthat are based on a number of assumptions which have been derived from industry and government sources which we believe to be reasonable.We have not independently verified such third-party information. Industry and market data could be inaccurate because of the method bywhich sources obtained their data and because information cannot be verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the availabilityand reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties. Industry andmarket data are often forecasts by industry experts best equipped to make forecasts, but all forecasts bear a certain degree of uncertaintyand should not be relied upon as facts. Such data and estimates are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk dueto a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk Factors.” The permanent and temporary safes and concealed self-defenseproducts industries may not grow at the rate projected by industry data, or at all. The failure of the industries to grow as anticipatedis likely to have a material adverse effect on our business and the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the rapidly changingnature of the permanent and temporary safes and concealed self-defense industries subjects any projections or estimates relatingto the growth prospects or future condition of our industries to significant uncertainties. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptionsunderlying the industry data turns out to be incorrect, actual results may, and are likely to, differ from the projections based on theseassumptions.

OurCompany

 

The Company operates primarily as a marketerand designer of branded safes and personal security and self-defense products. Additionally,the Company designs and produces branded apparel andaccessories.

 

We believe that whenit comes to their homes, consumers place a premium on their security and privacy. Our products are designed to offer our customers convenient,efficient and secure home and personal safes from a provider that they can trust. We are committed to offeringproducts of enduring quality that allow customers to keep their valuable belongings protected and to express theirpatriotism and style, which is synonymous with the American Rebel brand.

 

Our safes and personal security products areconstructed primarily of U.S.-made steel. We believe our products are designed to safely store firearms, as well as store our customers’priceless keepsakes, family heirlooms and treasured memories, and aim to make our products accessible at various price points for homeuse. We believe our products are designed for safety, quality, reliability, features and performance.

 

To enhance the strength of our brand and drive productdemand, we work with our sole supplier and manufacturer to emphasize product quality and mechanical development in order to improve theperformance and affordability of our products while providing support to our distribution channel and consumers. We seek to sell productsthat offer features and benefits of higher-end safes at mid-line price ranges.

 

We believe that safes are becoming a ‘must-haveappliance’ in a significant portion of households. We believe our current safes provide safety, security, style and peace of mindat competitive prices. We are in the process of developing a newly designed model safe, which is expected to be produced in the U.S.We anticipate our new model safe will offer and be equipped with technologically advanced features, such as independent bolt works operation,double-steel door-jamb framing, and a standardized geared locking mechanism.

 

In addition to branded safes, we offer an assortmentof personal security products as well as apparel and accessories for men and women under the Company’s American Rebel brand. Ourbackpacks utilize what we believe is a distinctive sandwich-method concealment pocket, which we refer to as Personal Protection Pocket,to hold firearms in place securely and safely. The concealment pockets on our Freedom 2.0 Concealed Carry Jackets incorporatea silent operation opening and closing with the use of a magnetic closure.

 

We believe that we have the potential to continueto create a brand community presence around the core ideals and beliefs of America, in part through our Chief Executive Officer, CharlesA. “Andy” Ross, who has written, recorded and performs a number of songs about the American spirit of independence. We believeour customers identify with the values expressed by our Chief Executive Officer through the “American Rebel” brand.

 

Through our growing network of dealers, we promote and sell ourproducts in select regional retailers and local specialty safe, sporting goods, hunting and firearms stores, as well as online,including our website and e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.com

 

 

 

OurProducts

 

Safes

 

Weoffer a wide range of home, office and personal safe models, in a broad assortment of sizes, features and styles, which are constructedwith U.S.-made steel. Demand for our safes is growing moderately across all segments of our customers, including individuals andfamilies seeking to protect their valuables, businesses seeking to protect valuables and irreplaceable items such as artifacts and jewelry,and dispensaries servicing the community that seek to protect their inventory and cashflow. Traditionally, our safes have particularlyappealed to responsible gun owners, sportsmen, competitive shooters and hunters seeking a premiumand responsible solution to secure valuables and firearms, to prevent theft and to protect loved ones. We expect to benefit from increasingawareness of and need for safe storage of firearms in future periods. 

 

 

Below isa summary of the different safes we offer:

 

i.

Large Safes – our current large model safe collection consists of six premium safes. All of our large safes share the same high-quality workmanship, are constructed out of 11-gauge U.S.-made steel and feature a double plate steel door, double-steel door casements and reinforced door edges. Each of these safes provide up to 75 minutes of fire protection at 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. Our safes offer a fully adjustable interior to fit our customers’ needs. Depending on the model, one side of the interior may have shelves and the other side set up to accommodate long guns. There are optional additions such as Rifle Rod Kits and Handgun Hangers to increase the storage capacity of the safe. These large safes offer greater capacity for secure storage and protection, and our safes are designed to prevent unauthorized access, including in the event of an attempted theft, natural disaster or fire. We believe that a large, highly visible safe also acts as a deterrent to any prospective thief.

 

ii.

Personal Safes – the safes in our compact safe collection are easy to operate and carry as they fit into briefcases, desks or under vehicle seats. These personal safes meet Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) airline firearm guidelines and fit comfortably in luggage when required by travel regulations.

 

iii.

Vault Doors – our U.S.-made vault doors combine style theft and fire protection for a look that fits any decor. Newly-built, higher-end homes often add vault rooms and we believe our vault doors, which we designed to facilitate secure access to such vault rooms, provide ideal solutions for the protection of valuables and shelter from either storms or intruders. Whether it’s in the context of a safe room, a shelter, or a place to consolidate valuables, our American Rebel in- and out-swinging vault doors provide maximum functionality to facilitate a secure vault room. American Rebel vault doors are constructed of 4 ½” double steel plate thickness, A36 carbon steel panels with sandwiched fire insulation, a design that provides greater rigidity, security and fire protection. Active boltworks, which is the locking mechanism that bolts the safe door closed so that it cannot be pried open and three external hinges that support the weight of the door, are some of the features of the vault door. For safety and when the door is used for a panic or safe room, a quick release lever is installed inside the door.

 

iv.

Dispensary Safes - our HG-INV Inventory Safe, a safe tailor-made for the cannabis community, provides cannabis and horticultural plant home growers a reliable and safe solution to protect their inventory. Designed with medical marijuana or recreational cannabis dispensaries in mind, and increasing governmental and insurance industry regulation to lock inventory after hours, we believe our HG-INV Inventory Safe delivers a high-level of user experience.

OurCompetitive Strengths

 

We believe we are progressing toward long-term,sustainable growth, and our business has, and our future success will be driven by, the following competitive strengths:

 

●

Powerful Brand Identity – we believe we have developed a distinctive brand that sets us apart from our competitors. This has contributed significantly to the success of our business. Our brand is predicated on patriotism and quintessential American character: protecting our loved ones. We strive to equip our safes with technologically advanced features that offer customers advanced security to provide the peace of mind they need. Maintaining, protecting and enhancing the “American Rebel” brand is critical to expanding our loyal enthusiasts base, network of dealers and other partners. Through our branded apparel and accessories, we seek to further enhance our connection with the American Rebel community and share the values of patriotism and safety for which our Company stands for. We strive to continue to meet their need for our premium safes and will depend largely on our ability to maintain customer trust, become a gun safe storage leader and continue to provide high-quality safes.

 

●

Product Design and Development – our current safe model relies on time-tested features, such as Four-Way Active Boltworks, pinning the door shut on all four sides (compared to Three-Way Bolt works, which is prevalent in our competitors’ safes), and benefits that would not often be available in our price point, including 11-gauge US-made steel. The sleek exterior of our safes has garnered attention and earned the moniker from our dealers as the “safe with an attitude.” When we set out to enter the safe market, we wanted to offer a safe that we would want to buy, one that would get our attention and provide excellent value for the cost.

 

●

Focus on Product Performance - since the introduction of our first safes, we have maintained a singular focus on creating a full range of safe, quality, reliable safes that were designed to help our customers keep their family and valuables safe at all times. We incorporate advanced features into our safes that are designed to improve strength and durability. Key elements of our current model safes’ performance include:

 

DoublePlate Steel Door - 4 ½” Thick

ReinforcedDoor Edge – 7/16” Thick

Double-SteelDoor Casement

SteelWalls – 11-Gauge

DiameterDoor Bolts – 1 ¼” Thick

Four-WayActive Boltworks – AR-50(14), AR-40(12), AR-30(10), AR-20(10), AR-15(8), AR-12(8)

Diamond-EmbeddedArmor Plate

 

* Double Plate Steel Dooris formed from two U.S.-made steel plates with fire insulation sandwiched inside. Thicker steel is placed on the outside of the doorwhile the inner steel provides additional door rigidity and attachment for the locking mechanism and bolt works. The door edge is reinforcedwith up to four layers of laminated steel. Pursuant to industry-standard strength tests performed, this exclusive design offers up to16 times greater door strength and rigidity than the “thin metal bent to look thick” doors.

 

* Double-Steel Door Casementis formed from two or more layers of steel and is welded around the perimeter of the door opening. Pursuant to industry-standard strengthtests performed, it more than quadruples the strength of the door opening and provides a more secure and pry-resistant door mounting.Our manufacturer installs a Double-Steel Door Casement™ on our safes. We believe the reinforced door casementfeature provides important security as the safe door is often a target for break-in attempts.

 

* Diamond-Embedded Armor PlateIndustrial diamond is bonded to a tungsten steel alloy hard plate. Diamond is harder than either a cobalt or carbide drill. Ifdrilling is attempted the diamond removes the cutting edge from the drill, thus dulling the drill bit to where it will not cut.

 

 

●

Trusted Brand - we believe that we have developed a trusted brand with both retailers and consumers for delivering reliable, secure safes solutions.

 

●

Customer Satisfaction - we believe we have established a reputation for delivering high-quality safes and personal security products in a timely manner, in accordance with regulatory requirements and our retailers’ delivery requirements and supporting our products with a consistent merchandising and marketing message. We also believe that our high level of service, combined with strong consumer demand for our products and our focused distribution strategy, produces substantial customer satisfaction and loyalty. We also believe we have cultivated an emotional connection with the brand which symbolizes a lifestyle of freedom, rugged individualism, excitement and a sense of bad boy rebellion.

 

●

Proven Management Team - our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Charles A. Ross, Jr., has led the expansion and focus on the select product line we offer today. We believe that Mr. Ross had an immediate and positive impact on our brand, products, team members, and customers. Under Mr. Ross’s leadership, we believe that we have built a strong brand and strengthened the management team. We are refocusing on the profitability of our products, reinforcing the quality of safes to engage customers and drive sales. We believe our management team possess an appropriate mix of skills, broad range of professional experience, and leadership designed to drive board performance and properly oversee the interests of the Company, including our long-term corporate strategy. Our management team also reflects a balanced approach to tenure that will allow the Board to benefit from a mix of newer members who bring fresh perspectives and seasoned directors who bring continuity and a deep understanding of our complex business.

 

 

OurGrowth Strategy

 

Our goal is to enhance our position as a designer,producer and marketer of premium safes and personal security products. We have established plans to grow our business by focusingon three key areas: (1) organic growth and expansion in existing markets; (2) strategic acquisitions, and (3) expanding the scope ofour operation activities to the dispensaries U.S. community.

 

We have developed what we believe is a multi-prongedgrowth strategy, as described below, to help us capitalize on a sizable opportunity. Through methodical sales and marketing efforts,we believe we have implemented several key initiatives we can use to grow our business more effectively. We believe we have made significantprogress in 2021 in the form of nearly $200,000 in sales to first-time buyers. We also intend to opportunistically pursue the strategiesdescribed below to continue our upward trajectory and enhance stockholder value. Key elements of our strategy to achieve thisgoal are as follows:

 

Organic Growth and Expansion in Existing Markets- Build our Core Business

 

The cornerstone of our business has historically beenour safes product offering. We are focused on continuing to develop our home, office and personal safes product lines. We are investingin adding what we believe are distinctive technology solutions to our safes.

 

We are also working to increase floor space dedicatedto our safes and strengthen our online presence in order to expand our reach to new enthusiasts and build our devoted American Rebel community.We intend to continue to endeavor to create and provide retailers and customers with what we believe are responsible, safe, reliable andstylish products, and we expect to concentrate on tailoring our supply and distribution logistics in response to the specific demandsof our customers.

 

 

We are currently developing a new model of ourhome and office safes. Our new safe model, which we expect to introduce at industry tradeshows in early 2022, is to be built in the U.S. through our collaboration with Industrial Maintenance Incorporated(“IMI”). The new “Made in the USA” safe model is expected to be manufactured in Topeka, Kansas, and is readyto begin production. We believe IMI’s location is very advantageous, as it is located near our sales office in Lenexa,Kansas.

 

We expect thenew planned model to include additional features, such as a reinforced door and upgraded locking mechanism, and increased fire rating,among others. We are focused on developing best in class, compelling combination of functionality, convenience and style withoutcompromising performance of our safes. We intend to use our designing and developing processes to enhance technological and time to marketadvantages over incumbent safes manufacturers.

 

While we currently rely on third-party manufacturesfor the production of our current line of safes, apparel and accessories, we believe that the expected addition of manufacturing capabilitiesfollowing the signing of the contract with the aforementioned manufacturer, which we anticipate to work exclusively withus, would allow us, among other benefits, to ramp up our production levels to meet expected demand for our products, provide us greaterautonomy over the manufacturing process, and add what we believe are distinctive features.

 

Additionally,our Concealed Carry Product line and Safe line serve a large and growing market segment. We believe that interest in safes increase,as well as in our complimentary concealed carry backpacks and apparel as a byproduct, when interest of the general population in firearmsincrease. To this extent, the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which we believe serves as a proxyfor gun sales since a background check is generally needed to purchase a firearm, reported a record number of background checks in 2020,39,695,315. The prior annual record for background checks was 2019’s 28,369,750. In 2021, there were 38,876,673 backgroundchecks conducted, similar to that of 2020’s annual record whichwas 40% higher than the previous annual record in 2019. While we do not expect this increase in backgroundchecks to necessarily translate to an equivalent number of additional safes purchased, we do believe it might be an indicator of the increaseddemand in the safe market. In addition, certain states (such as Massachusetts, California,New York and Connecticut) are starting to legislate new storage requirements in respect of firearms, which is expectedto have positive impact on the sale of safes.

 

We continue to strive to strengthen our relationshipswith our current distributors, dealers, manufacturers and specialty retailers and to attract other distributors, dealers, and retailers.We believe that the success of our efforts depends on the distinctive features, quality, and performance of our products; continued manufacturingcapabilities and meeting demand for our safes; the effectiveness of our marketing and merchandising programs; and the dedicated customersupport.

 

In addition, we seek to improve customer satisfactionand loyalty by offering distinctive, high-quality products on a timely and cost-attractive basis and by offering efficient customer service.We regard the features, quality, and performance of our products as the most important components of our customer satisfaction and loyaltyefforts, but we also rely on customer service and support for growing our business.

 

Furthermore, we intend to continue improving ourbusiness operations, including research and development, component sourcing, production processes, marketing programs, and customer support.Thus, we are continuing our efforts to enhance our production by increasing daily production quantities through equipment acquisitions,expanded shifts and process improvements, increased operational availability of our equipment, reduced equipment down times, and increasedoverall efficiency.

 

We believe that by enhancing our brand recognition,our market share might grow correspondingly. Industry sources estimate that 70 million to 80 million people in the United States ownan aggregate of more than 400 million firearms, creating a large potential market for our safes and personal security products. We arefocusing on the premium segment of the market through the quality, distinctiveness, and performance of our products; the effectivenessof our marketing and merchandising efforts; and the attractiveness of our competitive pricing strategies.

 

TargetedStrategic Acquisitions for Long-term Growth

 

Weare consistently evaluating and considering acquisitions opportunities that fit our overall growth strategy as part of our corporatemission to accelerate long-term value for our stockholders and create integrated value chains.

 

Alongthese lines, in March of 2022 we entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”) to purchase a safe manufacturer. The final structureof the acquisition will be determined by the parties following the receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice. The acquisitionwill be structured as an arm’s length transaction and pursuant to the terms of the LOI the parties intend to sign a definitiveagreement in respect of the acquisition on or before April 30, 2022. Under the terms of the LOI, we would acquire all of the outstandingshares of capital stock of the acquisition target, free and clear of all encumbrances for a combination of cash and stock. As part ofthe LOI, we gave the target a $250,000 non-refundable deposit, which will be credited to us at closing. Completion of the acquisitionis subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to the following key conditions: the target obtaining an audit of itsfinancial statements; execution of the definitive and ancillary agreements; completion of mutually satisfactory due diligence; us obtainingsufficient financing to complete the acquisition; and receipt of all required regulatory, corporate and third-party approvals, and thefulfillment of all applicable regulatory requirements and conditions necessary to complete the acquisition. 

 

Expanding Scope of Operations Activities by Offering Servicing Dispensariesand Brand Licensing

  

Wecontinually seek to target new consumer segments for our safes. As we believe that safes are becoming a must-have household appliance,we strive to establish authenticity by selling our products to additional groups, and to expand our direct-to-consumer presence throughour website and our showroom in Lenexa, Kansas.

 

Further, we expect the cannabis dispensary industryto be a material growth segment for our business. Several cannabis dispensary operators have expressed interest in the opportunity tohelp them with their inventory locking needs. Cannabis dispensaries have various insurance requirements and local ordinances requiringthem to secure their inventory when the dispensary is closed. Dispensary operators have been purchasing gun safes and independently takingout the inside themselves to allow them to store cannabis inventory. Recognizing what seems to be a growing need for cannabis dispensaryoperators, we have designed a safe tailor-made for the cannabis industry. With the legal cannabis hyper-growth market expected to exceed$43 billion by 2025, and an increasing number of states where the growth and cultivation of cannabis is legal (California, Colorado,Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington), we believe we are well positionedto address the need of dispensaries. American Rebel has a long list of dispensary operators, growers, and processors interested in theCompany’s inventory control solutions. We believe that dispensary operators, growers, and processors are another fertile new growthmarket for our Vault Doors products, as many in the cannabis space have chosen to install entire vault rooms instead of individual inventorycontrol safes—the American Rebel Vault Door has been the choice for that purpose.

 

Further, we believe that American Rebel has significantpotential for branded products as a lifestyle brand. As the American Rebel Brand continues to grow in popularity, we anticipate generatingadditional revenues from licensing fees earned from third parties who wish to engage the American Rebel community. While the Companydoes not generate material revenues from licensing fees, our management believes the American Rebel brand name may in the future havesignificant licensing value to third parties that seek the American Rebel name to brand their products to market to the American Rebeltarget demographic. For example, a tool manufacturer that wants to pursue an alternative marketing plan for a different look and feelcould license the American Rebel brand name for their line of tools and market their tools under our distinct brand. This licensee wouldbenefit from the strong American Rebel brand with their second line of American Rebel branded tools as they would continue to sell bothof the lines of tools. Conversely, American Rebel could potentially also benefit as a licensee of products. If American Rebel determinesa third party has designed, engineered, and manufactured a product that would be a strong addition to the American Rebel catalog of products,American Rebel could license that product from the third-party and sell the licensed product under the American Rebel brand.

 

 

Competition

 

The safe industry is dominated by a small numberof companies. We compete primarily on the quality, safety, reliability, features, performance, brand awareness, and price of our products.Our primary competitors Superior Safe, Champion Safe as well as certain other domestic and international safe manufacturers. Webelieve that given the current substantial uncertainty related to the supply chain and deliveryof international goods, we have a competitive advantage because of what we believe is our affinity marketing with the AmericanRebel brand and the fact our safes are not manufactured overseas.

 

Financing Arrangements

 

We currently have one promissory note outstandingthat we utilize to finance our operation. The note is dated July 1, 2021, and is in the amount of $600,000. The note matureson June 30, 2022, and interest on the note is 12% annually, paid quarterly.

 

For a complete description of our credit facilitiesand the financial and restrictive covenants contained therein, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of FinancialCondition and Results of Operations—Financing Arrangements.”

 

Please see our risk factors in connectiontherewith, including “Our substantial level of indebtedness and our current liquidity constraints could adversely affect our financialcondition and our ability to service our indebtedness, which could negatively impact your ability to recover your investment in the Common Stock,” “Our indebtedness could adversely affect our business and limit our ability to plan for or respond to changes inour business, and we may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy significant debt service obligations,” and “Despitethe Company’s indebtedness levels, we are able to incur substantially more debt. This could further increase the risks associatedwith its leverage.”

 

IntellectualProperty

 

Webelieve our commercial success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our brand andtechnology, defend and enforce our intellectual property rights, preserve the confidentiality of our trade secrets, operate our businesswithout infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property or proprietary rights of third parties and preventthird parties from infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination ofpatent, copyright and trade secret laws in the United States to protect our proprietary technology. We also rely on a number of UnitedStates registered, pending and common law trademarks to protect our brand “American Rebel”.

 

On May 29, 2018, US Patent No. 9,984,552, FirearmDetecting Luggage, was issued to us. The term of thepatent is 20 years from the issuance date. In addition to our patent, we rely upon unpatented trade secrets and know-how and continuingtechnological development and maintain our competitive position. Trade secrets and know-how, however, can be difficult to protect.We seek to protect our proprietary information, in part, by entering into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements with ouremployees and independent contractors.

 

  

Regulation

 

Thestorage of firearms and ammunition is subject to increasing federal, state and local governmental laws. While the current legislativeclimate does not appear to seek to limit possession of firearms, there is apparent momentum to require safe storage of firearms and ammunition.Although our safes, which are the primary driver of our sales and revenues, are designed to protect any valuables, a significant numberof our safes’ end users have traditionally been gun enthusiasts, collectors, hunters, sportsmen and competitive shooters. Therefore,we expect the increases to federal, state and local governmentalregulation of gun storage to have a positive effect on our business.

 

Effectsof COVID-19

 

Coronavirus(“COVID-19”) and Related Market Impact. The COVID-19 outbreak has presentedevolving risks and developments domestically and internationally, as well as new opportunities for our business. Although the pandemichas not materially impacted our results and operations adversely, our ability to satisfy demand for our products could be negativelyimpacted by mandatory forced production disruptions of our safes’ sole third-party manufacturer and strategic partners. Any significantdisruption to communications and travel, including travel restrictions and other potential protective quarantine measures against COVID-19by governmental agencies, could make it difficult for us to deliver goods and services to our customers. Further, travel restrictionsand protective measures against COVID-19 could cause the Company to incur additional unexpected labor costs and expenses or could restrainthe Company’s ability to retain the highly skilled personnel the Company needs for its operations. The extent to which COVID-19impacts the Company’s business, sales and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannotbe currently predicted.

 

Additionally, as a result of COVID-19, at anytime we may be subject to increased operating costs, supply interruptions, and difficulties in obtaining raw materials and components.To address these challenges, we continue to monitor our supply chain. We have recently entered into a contract with a third-party manufacturerto exclusively assemble our upcoming new line of safes. We believe that this vertical integration would allow us, among other benefits,to ramp up our production levels to meet expected demand for our products, provide us greater autonomy over the manufacturing process,and add what we believe are distinctive features to our safes.

 

We expect that the demand for home, office andpersonal safety and security products would remain stable, in part due to customers spending more time working remotely, increasing regulationmandating safe storage, and substantial uncertainty related to the supply chain and delivery of international goods, which in turn translateinto, we believe, growth in demand for our home and personal safes as a U.S. company. We, however, cannot guarantee, that demand forour safes and personal security products will keep growing through the end of the 2021 calendar year and beyond.

 

Further, due to the effects of COVID-19, our managementhave reduced unnecessary marketing expenditures as part of continued efforts to adjust the Company’s operations to address changesin the safes and vault industry, and particularly to improve staff and human capital expenditures, while maintaining overall workforcelevels.

 

Due to the substantialuncertainty related to the effects of the pandemic, its duration and the related market impacts, including the economic stimulus activity,we are unable to predict the specific impact the pandemic and related restrictions (including the lifting or re-imposing of restrictionsdue to any current or future variants of the COVID-19 virus or otherwise) will have on our results of operations, liquidity or long-termfinancial results.

RISKFACTORS

 

Investingin our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained in thisprospectus before you decide to purchase any Units, Pre-funded Units, Warrants or Common Stock pursuant to this offering. Therisks and uncertainties described in this prospectus are not the only ones we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we donot presently know about or that we currently believe are not material may also adversely affect our business, business prospects, resultsof operations or financial condition. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth herein, could materially and adversely affect ourbusiness, results of operations and financial condition.

 

RISKSRELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

  

Wecurrently do not own a manufacturing facility, and rely on a sole manufacturer and supplier for the production of our safes; while wehave obtained favorable financing arrangements in the past from this manufacturer and supplier, there is no assurance that a future supplierwould provide similar favorable financing arrangements

 

Wecurrently rely on a sole manufacturer and supplier for the production of our safes. We do not havecontrol over the operations of the facilities of the third-party manufacturer that we use. While we may acquire our own manufacturingfacility in the future, or acquire our sole manufacturer, to provide us greater flexibility and control over our products manufacturingneeds, the operation of such a future plant might prove unsuccessful and fail.

 

Themanufacturer of our safes has extended favorable financing arrangements in the past, but there is no assurance that a future supplierwould provide similar favorable financing arrangements. Therefore, the continued supply and manufacturing of our sales by oursole manufacturer and supplier are critical to our success. Any event that causes a disruption of the operation of our safes’ solemanufacturer for even a relatively short period of time would adversely affect our ability to ship and deliver our safes and other productsand to provide service to our customers. We have previously experienced, including during the first months after the spread of COVID-19pandemic, and may in the future experience, launch and production ramp up delays for our products as a result of disruption at our supplier’smanufacturing partners.

 

Additionally,we have fully qualified only a very limited number of suppliers in the past and have limited flexibility in changing suppliers. Any disruptionin the supply of our branded safes from our supplier could limit the availability of our sales and negatively impact our revenues. Inthe long term, we intend to supplement safes manufactured by our supplier with safes manufactured by us, which we believe will be moreefficient and result in a greater manufacturing volume and under our control. Our efforts to develop and manufacture such safes, however,have required and may require significant investments, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve these targets inthe timeframes that we have planned or at all. If we are unable to do so, we may have to curtail our planned safes or procure additionalsafes from suppliers at potentially greater costs, either of which may harm our business and operating results.

 

Furthermore,the cost of safes, whether manufactured by our supplier or by us, depends in part upon the prices and availability of raw manufacturingmaterials such as steel, locks, fireboard, hinges, pins and other metals. The prices for these materials fluctuate and their availablesupply may be unstable, depending on market conditions and global demand for these materials, including as a result of increased globalproduction of electric vehicles and energy storage products. Any reduced availability of these materials may impact our access to theseparts and any increases in their prices may reduce our profitability if we cannot recoup the increased costs through increased safe prices.Moreover, any such attempts to increase product prices may harm our brand, prospects and operating results.

 

 

Wehave secured an exclusivity contract with a third-party manufacturer to assemble our new line of safes. We believe that this verticalintegration would allow us, among other benefits, to ramp up our production levels to meet expected demand for our products, provideus greater autonomy over the manufacturing process

 

Oursuccess depends upon our ability to introduce new products that track customer preferences.

 

Oursuccess depends upon our ability to introduce new products that track consumer preferences. Our efforts to introduce new products intothe market may not be successful, and new products that we introduce may not result in customer or market acceptance. We develop newproducts that we believe will match consumer preferences. The development of a new product is a lengthy and costly process and may notresult in the development of a marketable or profitable product. Failure to develop new products that are attractive to consumers coulddecrease our sales, operating margins, and market share and could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Ourbusiness depends on maintaining and strengthening our brand, as well as our reputation as a producer of high-quality goods, to maintainand generate ongoing demand for our products, and any harm to our brand could result in a significant reduction in such demand whichcould materially adversely affect our results of operations.

 

The“American Rebel” name and brand image are integral to the growth of our business, as well as to the implementation of ourstrategies for expanding our business. Our success depends on the value and reputation of our brand, which, in turn, depends on factorssuch as the quality, design, performance, functionality and durability of our products, e-commerce sales and retail partner floor spaces,our communication activities, including advertising, social media and public relations, and our management of the customer experience,including direct interfaces through customer service. Maintaining, promoting, and positioning our brand are important to expanding ourcustomer base and will depend largely on the success of our marketing and merchandising efforts and our ability to provide consistent,high-quality consumer experiences. To sustain long-term growth, we must continue to successfully promote our products to consumers, aswell as other individuals, who value and identify with our brand.

 

Ineffectivemarketing, negative publicity, product diversion to unauthorized distribution channels, product or manufacturing defects, and those andother factors could rapidly and severely diminish customer confidence in us. Maintaining and enhancing our brand image are importantto expanding our customer base. If we are unable to maintain or enhance our brand in current or new markets, or if we fail to continueto successfully market and sell our products to our existing customers or expand our customer base, our growth strategy and results ofoperations could be harmed.

 

Additionally,independent third parties and consumers often review our products as well as those of our competitors. Perceptions of our offerings inthe marketplace may be significantly influenced by these reviews, which are disseminated via various media, including the Internet. Ifreviews of our products are negative, or less positive as compared to those of our competitors, our brand may be adversely affected andour results of operations materially harmed.

 

Asa significant portion of our revenues is derived by demand for our safes and personal security products for firearms storage purposes,we depend on the availability and regulation of firearm/ammunition storage, as well as various economic, social and political factors.

 

Ourperformance is influenced by a variety of economic, social, and political factors. General economic conditions and consumer spendingpatterns can negatively impact our operating results. Economic uncertainty, unfavorable employment levels, declines in consumer confidence,increases in consumer debt levels, increased commodity prices, and other economic factors may affect consumer spending on discretionaryitems and adversely affect the demand for our products. In times of economic uncertainty, consumers tend to defer expenditures for discretionaryitems, which affects demand for our products. Any substantial deterioration in general economic conditions that diminish consumer confidenceor discretionary income could reduce our sales and adversely affect our operating results. Economic conditions also affect governmentalpolitical and budgetary policies. As a result, economic conditions also can have an effect on the sale of our products to law enforcement,government, and military customers.

 

 

Politicaland other factors also can affect our performance. Concerns about presidential, congressional, and state elections and legislature andpolicy shifts resulting from those elections can affect the demand for our products. As most of our revenue is generated from sales ofsafes, which are purchased in large numbers for firearms storage, speculation surrounding control of firearms, firearm products, andammunition at the federal, state, and local level and heightened fears of terrorism and crime can affect consumer demand for our products.Often, such concerns result in an increase in near-term consumer demand and subsequent softening of demand when such concerns subside.Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may negatively impact operating results and cash flow.

 

Federaland state legislatures frequently consider legislation relating to the regulation of firearms, including amendment or repeal of existinglegislation. Existing laws may also be affected by future judicial rulings and interpretations firearm products, ammunition, and safegun storage. If such restrictive changes to legislation develop, we could find it difficult, expensive, or even impossible to complywith them, impeding new product development and distribution of existing products.

 

Shortagesof components and materials, as well as supply chain disruptions, may delay or reduce our sales and increase our costs, thereby harmingour results of operations.

 

Theinability to obtain sufficient quantities of raw materials and components, including those necessary for the production of our productscould result in reduced or delayed sales or lost orders. Any delay in or loss of sales or orders could adversely impact our operatingresults. Many of the materials used in the production of our products are available only from a limited number of suppliers. We do nothave long-term supply contracts with any suppliers. As a result, we could be subject to increased costs, supply interruptions, and difficultiesin obtaining raw materials and components.

 

Ourreliance on third-party suppliers for various raw materials and components for our products exposes us to volatility in the availability,quality, and price of these raw materials and components. Our orders with certain of our suppliers may represent a very small portionof their total orders. As a result, they may not give priority to our business, leading to potential delays in or cancellation of ourorders. A disruption in deliveries from our third-party suppliers, capacity constraints, production disruptions, price increases, ordecreased availability of raw materials or commodities could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our commitments to customersor increase our operating costs. Quality issues experienced by third party suppliers can also adversely affect the quality and effectivenessof our products and result in liability and reputational harm.

 

Wedo not have long-term purchase commitments from our customers, and their ability to cancel, reduce, or delay orders could reduce ourrevenue and increase our costs.

 

Ourcustomers do not provide us with firm, long-term volume purchase commitments, but instead issue purchase orders for our products as needed.As a result, customers can cancel purchase orders or reduce or delay orders at any time. The cancellation, delay, or reduction of customerpurchase orders could result in reduced sales, excess inventory, unabsorbed overhead, and reduced income from operations.

 

Weoften schedule internal production levels and place orders for products with third party manufacturers before receiving firm orders fromour customers. Therefore, if we fail to accurately forecast customer demand, we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortageof products to deliver to our customers. Factors that could affect our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products includethe following:

 

	●	an increase or decrease in consumer demand for our products or for the products of our competitors;
	●	our failure to accurately forecast consumer acceptance of new products;
	●	new product introductions by us or our competitors;
	●	changes in our relationships within our distribution channels;
	●	changes in general market conditions or other factors, which may result in cancellations of orders or a reduction or increase in the rate of reorders placed by retailers;
	●	changes in laws and regulations governing the activities for which we sell products, such as hunting and shooting sports; and
	●	changes in laws and regulations regarding the possession and sale of medical or recreational controlled- substances.

 

 

Inventorylevels in excess of consumer demand may result in inventory write-downs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices, whichcould have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. If we underestimate demand for our products,our suppliers may not be able to react quickly enough to meet consumer demand, resulting in delays in the shipment of products and lostrevenue, and damage to our reputation and customer and consumer relationships. We may not be able to manage inventory levels successfullyto meet future order and reorder requirements.

 

Weface intense competition that could result in our losing or failing to gain market share and suffering reduced sales.

 

Weoperate in intensely competitive markets that are characterized by price erosion and competition from major domestic and internationalcompanies. Competition in the markets in which we operate is based on a number of factors, including price, quality, performance, reliability,styling, product features, and warranties, and sales and marketing programs. This intense competition could result in pricing pressures,lower sales, reduced margins, and lower market share.

 

Ourcompetitors include nationwide safe manufacturers and various smaller manufacturers and importers. Most of our competitors have greatermarket recognition, larger customer bases, and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, and other resourcesthan we possess and that afford them competitive advantages. As a result, they may be able to devote greater resources to the promotionand sale of products, to invest more funds in intellectual property and product development, to negotiate lower prices for raw materialsand components, to deliver competitive products at lower prices, and to introduce new products and respond to consumer requirements morequickly than we can.

 

Ourcompetitors could introduce products with superior features at lower prices than our products and could also bundle existing or new productswith other more established products to compete with us. Certain of our competitors may be willing to reduce prices and accept lowerprofit margins to compete with us. Our competitors could also gain market share by acquiring or forming strategic alliances with othercompetitors.

 

Finally,we may face additional sources of competition in the future because new distribution methods offered by the Internet and electronic commercehave removed many of the barriers to entry historically faced by start-up companies. Retailers also demand that suppliers reduce theirprices on products, which could lead to lower margins. Any of the foregoing effects could cause our sales to decline, which would harmour financial position and results of operations.

 

Ourability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, both within and outside our control. These factors include the following:

 

	●	our success in developing, producing, marketing, and successfully selling new products;
	●	our ability to efficiently manage our operations;
	●	our ability to implement our strategies and business plans;
	●	our ability to achieve future operating results;
	●	our ability to address the needs of our consumer customers;
	●	the pricing, quality, performance, and reliability of our products;
	●	the quality of our customer service;
	●	the efficiency of our production; and
	●	product or technology introductions by our competitors.

 

 

Becausewe believe technological and functional distinctions among competing products in our markets are perceived by many end-user consumersto be relatively modest, effectiveness in marketing and manufacturing are particularly important competitive factors in our business.

 

Wehave a limited operating history on which you can evaluate our company.

 

Wehave a limited operating history on which you can evaluate our company. The corporate entity has existed since 2014 and started engagingin its current primary business operations in April 2019. As a result, our business will be subject to many of the problems, expenses,delays, and risks inherent in the establishment of a relatively new business enterprise.

 

Wehave a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our business plan or performance and prospects can be made. Our businessand prospects must be considered in the light of the potential problems, delays, uncertainties and complications encountered in connectionwith a newly established business and creating a new line of products. The risks include, in part, the possibility that we will not beable to develop functional and scalable products, or that although functional and scalable, our products and will not be economical tomarket; that our competitors hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing such products; that our competitors market a superioror equivalent product; that our competitors have such a significant advantage in brand recognition that our products will not be consideredby potential customers; that we are not able to upgrade and enhance our technologies and products to accommodate new features as themarket evolves; or the failure to receive necessary regulatory clearances for our products. To successfully introduce and market ourproducts at a profit, we must establish brand name recognition and competitive advantages for our products. There are no assurances thatwe can successfully address these challenges. If it is unsuccessful, we and our business, financial condition and operating results couldbe materially and adversely affected.

 

Thecurrent and future expense levels are based largely on estimates of planned operations and future revenues. It is difficult to accuratelyforecast future revenues because our business is relatively new, and our market is rapidly developing. If our forecasts prove incorrect,the business, operating results and our financial condition will be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, we may be unable toadjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unanticipated reduction in revenue. As a result, any significant reductionin revenues would immediately and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Weare highly dependent on Charles A. Ross, our Chief Executive Officer. The loss of our Chief Executive Officer, whose knowledge, leadershipand industry reputational upon which we rely, could harm our ability to execute our business plan.

 

Weare highly dependent on Charles A. Ross, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of our Board of Directors and largest stockholder. Oursuccess depends heavily upon the continued contributions of Mr. Ross, whose leadership, industry reputation entrepreneurial backgroundand creative marketing skills may be difficult to replace at this stage in our business development, and on our ability to attract andretain similarly positioned prominent leaders. If we were to lose the services of our Chief Executive Officer, our ability to executeour business plan may be harmed and we may be forced to limit operations until such time as we could hire suitable replacements.

 

Wecannot predict when we will achieve profitability.

 

Wehave not been profitable and cannot predict when or if we will achieve profitability. We have experienced net losses since our inceptionin December 2014.

 

 

Wecannot predict when we will achieve profitability, if ever. Our inability to become profitable may force us to curtail or temporarilydiscontinue our research and development programs and our day-to-day operations. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that profitability,if achieved, can be sustained on an ongoing basis. As of December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $26,969,657.

 

Wehave limited financial resources. Our independent registered auditors’ report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that thereis substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Asa result of our deficiency in working capital at December 31, 2021 and other factors, our auditors have included a paragraph in theiraudit report regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans in this regard are to increase productsales, increase production, obtain inventory financing, seek strategic alternatives and to seek additional capital through future equityprivate placements or debt facilities. In February of 2022, we completed a public offering for $10.5 million, which will allow us tooperate through fiscal 2022.

 

Wehave recorded net losses since inception and have significant accumulated deficits. We have relied upon loans and equity financings foroperating capital. Total revenues will be insufficient to pay off existing debt and fund operations. We may be required to rely on furtherdebt financing, further loans from related parties, and private placements of our common and preferred stock for our additional cashneeds. Such funding sources may not be available, or the terms of such funding sources may not be acceptable to the Company.

 

AmericanRebel has limited financial resources. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern if we are unable toraise additional funds.

 

Weexpect to require additional funds to further develop our business plan, including the anticipated launch of new products, in additionto continuing to market our safes and concealed carry product line. Since it is impossible to predict with certainty the timing and amountof funds required to establish profitability, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional funds through equity or debt offeringsor otherwise in order to meet our expected future liquidity requirements. Any such financing that we undertake may be dilutive to existingstockholders. Along these lines, in February of 2022, we completed a public offering for $10.5 million, which will allow us to operatethrough fiscal 2022.

 

Thesales of our safes are dependent in large part on the sales of firearms.

 

Wemarket safes and other personal security products for sale to a wide variety of consumers. Although our customer base is large and diverse,and our products serve our customers’ different needs, our products have been particularly popular among collectors, hunters, sportsmen,competitive shooters, and gun enthusiasts. The sale of safe firearms storage and security components is influenced by the sale and usageof firearms. Sales of firearms are influenced by a variety of economic, social, and political factors, which may result in volatile sales.

 

Ourfinancial results may be affected by tariffs or border adjustment taxes or other import restrictions.

 

Ourcurrent backpack and apparel suppliers have facilities both in China and Mexico and the imposition of tariffs or border adjustment taxesmay affect our financial results. The current political climate is hostile to companies manufacturing goods outside of the US. At thecurrent manufacturing levels, it is impractical to seek manufacturing facilities in the United States as US manufacturers are unableto meet or even approach the cost of manufacturing small quantities of custom-made goods. We are in the process of locating an alternativesupplier which will have the capacity to produce commercial volumes of our backpacks and apparel to meet our expected demands. However,we have not yet located a suitable supplier and, even if we are able to do so, there is no guarantee that our manufacturing process willscale to produce our products in quantities sufficient to meet demand.

 

 

Aninability to expand our e-commerce business and sales organization to effectively address existing and new markets that we intend totarget could reduce our future growth and impact our business and operating results.

 

Consumersare increasingly purchasing products online. We operate a direct-to-consumer e-commerce store to maintain an online presence with ourend users. The future success of our online operations depends on our ability to use our marketing resources to communicate with existingand potential customers. We face competitive pressure to offer promotional discounts, which could impact our gross margin and increaseour marketing expenses. We are limited, however, in our ability to fully respond to competitor price discounting because we cannot marketour products at prices that may produce adverse relationships with our customers that operate brick and mortar locations as they mayperceive themselves to be at a disadvantage based on lower e-commerce pricing to end consumers. There is no assurance that we will beable to successfully expand our e-commerce business to respond to shifting consumer traffic patterns and direct-to-consumer buying trends.

 

Inaddition, e-commerce and direct-to-consumer operations are subject to numerous risks, including implementing and maintaining appropriatetechnology to support business strategies; reliance on third-party computer hardware/software and service providers; data breaches; violationsof state, federal or international laws, including those relating to firearms and ammunition sales; online privacy; credit card fraud;telecommunication failures; electronic break-ins and similar disruptions; and disruption of Internet service. Our inability to adequatelyrespond to these risks and uncertainties or to successfully maintain and expand our direct-to-consumer business may have an adverse impacton our business and operating results.

 

Wesell products that create exposure to potential product liability, warranty liability, or personal injury claims and litigation.

 

Ourproducts are used to store, in part, items that involve risk of personal injury and death. Our products expose us to potential productliability, warranty liability, and personal injury claims and litigation relating to the use or misuse of our products, including allegationsof defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product or activities associated with theproduct, negligence, and strict liability. If successful, any such claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, operatingresults, and financial condition. Defects in our products may result in a loss of sales, recall expenses, delay in market acceptance,and damage to our reputation and increased warranty costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results,and financial condition. Although we maintain product liability insurance in amounts that we believe are reasonable, we may not be ableto maintain such insurance on acceptable terms, if at all, in the future and product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurancecoverage. In addition, our reputation may be adversely affected by such claims, whether or not successful, including potential negativepublicity about our products.

 

Despitethe Company’s indebtedness levels, we are able to incur substantially more debt. This could further increase the risks associatedwith its leverage.

 

Wemay incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, although certain terms of current debt agreements prohibit us from doingso. To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness, the risks associated with its substantial indebtedness describe above, includingits possible inability to service its debt, will increase.

 

Atthis stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, investors in our company may lose some or all of their investment.

 

Becausethe nature of our business is expected to change as a result of shifts in the industries in which we operate, competition, and the developmentof new and improved technology, management forecasts are not necessarily indicative of future operations and should not be relied uponas an indication of future performance. Further, we have raised substantial debt and equity to fund our business operations, which todate have generated insufficient revenue to support our working capital needs.

 

Whilemanagement believes its estimates of projected occurrences and events are within the timetable of its business plan, our actual resultsmay differ substantially from those that are currently anticipated. If our revenues do not increase to a level to support our workingcapital needs, we will be forced to seek equity capital to fund our operations and repay our substantial debt balances, which may notbe available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Productdefects could adversely affect the results of our operations.

 

Thedesign, manufacture and marketing of our products involve certain inherent risks. Manufacturing or design defects, unanticipated useof our products, or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of our products can lead to injury or other adverse events. TheCompany may not properly anticipate customer applications of our products and our products may fail to survive such unanticipated customeruse. If the Company’s products fail to adequately perform to meet the customer’s expectations, the customer may demand refundsor replacements which will negatively affect the Company’s profitability.

 

 

Wecould be exposed to significant liability claims if we are unable to obtain insurance at acceptable costs and adequate levels or otherwiseprotect ourselves against potential product liability claims.

 

Ourproducts support the use and access to firearms and if our products are ineffective, we could require protection against potential productliability claims.

 

Wewill not be profitable unless we can demonstrate that our products can be manufactured at low prices.

 

Todate, we have manufactured our products in limited volume. As the Company creates demand for its products, our projections require thebenefit of volume discounts as we increase the size of our order. We can offer no assurance that either we or our manufacturing partnerswill develop efficient, automated, low-cost manufacturing capabilities and processes to meet the quality, price, engineering, designand production standards or production volumes required to successfully mass market our products. Even if we or our manufacturing partnersare successful in developing such manufacturing capability and processes, we do not know whether we or they will be timely in meetingour product commercialization schedule or the production and delivery requirements of potential customers. A failure to develop suchmanufacturing processes and capabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

 

Ourprofitability in part is dependent on material and other manufacturing costs. We are unable to offer any assurance that either we ora manufacturing partner will be able to reduce costs to a level that will allow production of a competitive product or that any productproduced using lower cost materials and manufacturing processes will not suffer from a reduction in performance, reliability and longevity.

 

War,terrorism, other acts of violence or natural or manmade disasters such as a pandemic, epidemic,outbreak of an infectious disease or other public health crisis may affect the markets in which the Company operates, the Company’scustomers, the Company’s delivery of products and customer service, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, resultsof operations, or financial condition.

 

Ourbusiness and supply chain may be adversely affected by instability, disruption or destruction in a geographic region in which it operates,regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, riot, civil insurrection or social unrest, and natural or manmade disasters, includingfamine, food, fire, earthquake, storm or pandemic events and spread of disease (including the outbreak of COVID-19).

 

Suchevents may cause customers to suspend their decisions on using the Company’s products and services, make it impossible to accesssome of our inventory, and give rise to sudden significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles that could interferewith purchases of goods or services and commitments to develop new products and services. These events also pose significant risks tothe Company’s personnel and to physical facilities, transportation and operations, which could materially adversely affect theCompany’s financial results.

 

Anysignificant disruption to communications and travel, including travel restrictions and other potential protective quarantine measuresagainst COVID-19 or other public health crisis by governmental agencies, could make it difficultfor the Company to deliver goods services to its customers. War, riots, or other disasters may increase the need for our products anddemand by government and military may make it difficult for use to provide products to customers. Further, travel restrictions and protectivemeasures against COVID-19 could cause the Company to incur additional unexpected labor costs and expenses or could restrain the Company’sability to retain the highly skilled personnel the Company needs for its operations. Due to thesubstantial uncertainty related to the effects of the pandemic, its duration and the related market impacts, including the economic stimulusactivity, we are unable to predict the specific impact the pandemic and related restrictions (including the lifting or re-imposing ofrestrictions due to the Omicron variant or otherwise) will have on our results of operations, liquidity or long-term financial results.

 

 

Webelieve COVID-19 has not yet had a materially adverse effect on our operational results, but could at any time and without notice inthe foreseeable future. As a result of COVID-19, at any time we may be subject to increased operating costs, supply interruptions, anddifficulties in obtaining raw materials and components. COVID-19 has resulted in restrictions, postponements and cancelations of meetings,conferences, trade shows and the impact, extent and duration of the government-imposed restrictions on travel and public gatherings aswell as the overall effect of the COVID-19 virus is currently unknown.

 

Thecosts of being a public company could result in us being unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Asa public company, we are required to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to auditsand internal control. The costs of maintaining public company reporting requirements could be significant and may preclude us from seekingfinancing or equity investment on terms acceptable to us and our stockholders. We estimate these costs to be in excess of $100,000 peryear and may be higher if our business volume or business activity increases significantly. Our current estimate of costs does not includethe necessary expenses associated with compliance, documentation and specific reporting requirements of Section 404 as we will not besubject to the full reporting requirements of Section 404 until we exceed $700 million in public float market capitalization.

 

Ifour revenues are insufficient or non-existent, or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of shares or debt, we maybe unable to satisfy these costs in the normal course of business. This would certainly result in our being unable to continue as a goingconcern.

 

Anyacquisitions that we potentially undertake will involve significant risks, and any acquisitions that we undertake in the future coulddisrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and harm our operating results.

 

Partof our growth strategy is to expand our operations through strategic acquisitions to enhance existing products and offer new products,enter new markets and businesses, strengthen and avoid interruption from our supply chain, and enhance our position in current marketsand businesses. Acquisitions involve significant risks and uncertainties. We cannot accurately predict the timing, size, and successof any future acquisitions. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or to complete the acquisitions of candidatesthat we identify. Increased competition for acquisition candidates or increased asking prices by acquisition candidates may increasepurchase prices for acquisitions to levels beyond our financial capability or to levels that would not result in the returns requiredby our acquisition criteria. Unforeseen expenses, difficulties, and delays frequently encountered in connection with expansion throughacquisitions could inhibit our growth and negatively impact our operating results.

 

Ourability to complete acquisitions that we desire to make will depend upon various factors, including the following:

 

	●	the availability of suitable acquisition candidates at attractive purchase prices;
	●	the ability to compete effectively for available acquisition opportunities;
	●	the availability of cash resources, borrowing capacity, or stock at favorable price levels to provide required purchase prices in acquisitions;
	●	the ability of management to devote sufficient attention to acquisition efforts; and
	●	the ability to obtain any requisite governmental or other approvals.

Wemay have little or no experience with certain acquired businesses, which could involve significantly different supply chains, productiontechniques, customers, and competitive factors than our current business. This lack of experience would require us to rely to a greatextent on the management teams of these acquired businesses. These acquisitions also could require us to make significant investmentsin systems, equipment, facilities, and personnel in anticipation of growth. These costs could be essential to implement our growth strategyin supporting our expanded activities and resulting corporate structure changes. We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefitsthat we expect to achieve as we expand into these new markets within the time frames we expect, if at all. If we fail to achieve someor all of the benefits that we expect to achieve as we expand into these new markets, or do not achieve them within the time frames weexpect, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

 

Unforeseenexpenses, difficulties, and delays frequently encountered in connection with future acquisitions could inhibit our growth and negativelyimpact our profitability. Any future acquisitions may not meet our strategic objectives or perform as anticipated. In addition, the size,timing, and success of any future acquisitions may cause substantial fluctuations in our operating results from quarter to quarter. Theseinterim fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Ifwe finance any future acquisitions in whole or in part through the issuance of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisablefor Common Stock, existing stockholders will experience dilution in the voting power of their Common Stock and earnings per share couldbe negatively impacted. The extent to which we will be able or willing to use our Common Stock for acquisitions will depend on the marketprice of our Common Stock from time-to-time and the willingness of potential acquisition candidates to accept our Common Stock as fullor partial consideration for the sale of their businesses. Our inability to use our Common Stock as consideration, to generate cash fromoperations, or to obtain additional funding through debt or equity financings to pursue an acquisition could limit our growth.

 

Wemay not be able to successfully fund future acquisitions of new businesses due to the lack of availability of debt or equity financingon acceptable terms, which could impede the implementation of our acquisition strategy and materially adversely impact our financialcondition, business and results of operations.

 

Inorder to make future acquisitions, we intend to raise capital primarily through debt financing, additional equity offerings, the saleof stock or assets of our businesses, and by offering equity in the businesses to the sellers of target businesses or by undertakinga combination of any of the above. Since the timing and size of acquisitions cannot be readily predicted, we may need to be able to obtainfunding on short notice to benefit fully from attractive acquisition opportunities. Such funding may not be available on acceptable terms.In addition, the level of our indebtedness may impact our ability to borrow funds on acceptable terms. Another source of capital forus may be the sale of additional shares of Common Stock, subject to market conditions and investor demand for the shares at prices thatwe consider to be in the interests of our stockholders. These risks may materially adversely affect our ability to pursue our acquisitionstrategy successfully and materially adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.

 

RISKSRELATED TO OUR LEGAL AND REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

 

Failureto comply with applicable laws and changing legal and regulatory requirements could harm our business and financial results.

 

Ourpolicies and procedures are reasonably designed to comply with applicable laws, accounting and reporting requirements, tax rules andother regulations and requirements, including those imposed by the SEC, and foreign countries, as well as applicable trade, labor, safety,environmental, labeling and gun safety related laws, such as the Protection of Lawful Commercein Arms Act as well as state laws. The complexity of the regulatory environment in which we operate and the related cost of complianceare both increasing due to additional or changing legal and regulatory requirements, our ongoing expansion into new markets and new channels,and the fact that foreign laws occasionally conflict with domestic laws. In addition to potential damage to our reputation and brand,failure by us or our business partners to comply with the various applicable laws and regulations, as well as changes in laws and regulationsor the manner in which they are interpreted or applied, may result in litigation, civil and criminal liability, damages, fines and penalties,increased cost of regulatory compliance and restatements of our financial statements and have an adverse impact on our business and financialresults.

 

 

 

Ourability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

 

Asof December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, for federal and state income tax purposesof $26,969,657 and $20,870,713, respectively, which begins to expire in 2034. Net operating loss carryforwards are available to reducefuture taxable income. The federal net operating losses generated before 2018 will begin to expire in 2032. The federal net operatinglosses generated in and after 2018 may be carried forward indefinitely. The expiration of state NOL carryforwards vary by state and beginto expire in 2024. It is possible that we will not generate taxable income in time to use NOLs before their expiration, or at all. UnderSection 382 and Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownershipchange,” the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOLs and other tax attributes to offset its post-change income maybe limited. In general, an “ownership change” will occur if there is a cumulative change in our ownership by “5 percentstockholders” that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws.Our ability to use NOLs and other tax attributes to reduce future taxable income and liabilities may be subject to annual limitationsas a result of prior ownership changes and ownership changes that may occur in the future (which may be outside our control).

 

Underthe Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or the Tax Act, as amended by the CARES Act, NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31,2017, are subject to an 80% of taxable income limitation (as calculated before taking the NOLs into account) for tax years beginningafter December 31, 2020. In addition, NOLs arising in tax years 2018, 2019, and 2020 are subject to a five-year carryback and indefinitecarryforward, while NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2020, also are subject to indefinite carryforward but cannotbe carried back. Our NOLs may also be subject to limitations in other jurisdictions. For example, California recently enacted legislationsuspending the use of NOLs for taxable years 2020, 2021, and 2022 for many taxpayers. In future years, if and when a net deferred taxasset is recognized related to our NOLs, the changes in the carryforward/carryback periods as well as the new limitation on use of NOLsmay significantly impact our valuation allowance assessments for NOLs generated after December 31, 2017.

 

Ifwe are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may lose a competitive advantage or incur substantial litigation costs to protectour rights.

 

Ourfuture success depends upon our proprietary technology. Our protective measures, including patent and trade secret protection, may proveinadequate to protect our proprietary rights. The right to stop others from misusing our trademarks, service marks, and patents in commercedepends to some extent on our ability to show evidence of enforcement of our rights against such misuse in commerce. Our efforts to stopimproper use, if insufficient, may lead to loss of trademark and service mark rights, brand loyalty, and notoriety among our customersand prospective customers. The scope of any patent that we have or may obtain may not prevent others from developing and selling competingproducts. The validity and breadth of claims covered in technology patents involve complex legal and factual questions, and the resolutionof such claims may be highly uncertain, and expensive. In addition, our patents may be held invalid upon challenge, or others may claimrights in or ownership of our patents. Company owned trademarks are listed under the heading Intellectual Property on page 20.

 

Weare subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 15(d) and 12(g) of the Exchange Act that require us to incur audit feesand legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earna profit.

 

Weare required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statementson a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assistin the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at thistime because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in, and the complexity of our reports cannot be determinedat this time and will affect the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs willobviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn aprofit.

 

However,for as long as we remain a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we may take advantage of certainexemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companiesincluding, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-OxleyAct, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, reducedfinancial statement disclosure in registration statements, which must include two years of audited financial statements, reduced financialstatement disclosure in annual reports on Form 10-K, and exemptions from the auditor attestationof management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptionsuntil we are no longer a smaller reporting company.

 

 

Ifwe cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could loseconfidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our Common Stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.

 

Ourinternal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminatedto the public.

 

Ourmanagement is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. As defined in ExchangeAct Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executiveand principal financial officer and effected by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assuranceregarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

	●	pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
	●	provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and
	●	provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Ourinternal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformationbeing disseminated to the public. Furthermore, our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we report our financial conditionand results of operations, and they may require our management to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Investorsrelying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

 

Failureto achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and also cause investors tolose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

 

However,our auditors will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant toSection 404 until we are no longer a smaller reporting company.

 

RISKSRELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES

 

Stockholders’voting power and ownership interest may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations throughissuance of additional shares.

 

OurSecond Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 600,000,000 shares of Common Stockand up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which we have designated 100,000 shares as Series A – Super Voting ConvertiblePreferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) (which were issued to two members of our current management, Messrs. CharlesA. Ross, Jr. and Doug E. Grau, and have superior voting rights of 1,000 to 1 over shares of our Common Stock, resulting in nearly 96%of the available stockholder votes). While the Certificate of Designation is named “Certificate of Designation of Series A ConvertiblePreferred Stock”, the Company’s Existing Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Companyor redeemable by either the Company or another person. The power of the Board of Directors to issue shares of Common Stock, preferredstock or warrants or options to purchase shares of Common Stock or preferred stock is generally not subject to stockholder approval,except for issuances of more than 20% of the company’s outstanding Common Stock or voting power.

 

Whilewe just completed a capital raise utilizing a financial institution, we may attempt to raise additional capital by returning to the marketto sell shares, possibly at a deep discount. These actions may result in dilution of the ownership interests and voting power of existingstockholders, further dilute Common Stock book value, and may delay, defer or prevent a change of control.

 

Additionally,series of preferred stock may carry the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of Common Stock, superior voting or conversion rights and the right to the redemption of theshares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our Common Stock.

 

Ourboard of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial toCommon Stockholders and with the ability to affect adversely stockholder voting power and perpetuate their control over us.

 

OurSecond Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation allow us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further actionby our stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock.As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferredright to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of CommonStock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our Common Stock.

 

OurCommon Stock may be affected by limited trading volume and our share price may be volatile, which could adversely impact the value ofour Common Stock.

 

Therecan be no assurance that an active trading market in our Common Stock will be maintained. Our Common Stock is likely to experience significantprice and volume fluctuations in the future, which could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock without regard to ouroperating performance and the market price of our Common Stock may drop below the price paid byinvestors. In addition, we believe that factors such as our operating results, quarterly fluctuations in our financial resultsand changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets, including as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, couldcause the price of our Common Stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to periodically enterthe market in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore,can offer no assurances that the market for our Common Stock will be stable or appreciate over time.

 

Warrantsare speculative in nature.

 

TheWarrants included in our February 2022 public offering do not confer any rights of Common Stock ownership on their holders, such as votingrights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of our Common Stock at a fixed pricefor a limited period of time. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the Warrants may exercise their right to acquirethe Common Stock and pay an exercise price of per share, prior to five years from the date of issuance, after which date any unexercisedWarrants will expire and have no further value. Until holders of the Warrants acquire Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, theholders will have no rights with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants, theholder will be entitled to exercise the rights of a Stockholder as to the security exercised only as to matters for which the recorddate occurs after the exercise. Moreover, the market value of the Warrants is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the marketvalue of the Warrants will equal or exceed their public offering price. There can be no assurance that the market price of the CommonStock will ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the Warrants, and consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for holdersof the Warrants to exercise the Warrants.

 

Provisionsof the Warrants sold in our February 2022 public offering could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

 

Inaddition to the discussion of the provisions of our governing organizational documents, certain provisions of the Warrants offered inour February 2022 public offering could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The Warrants prohibit usfrom engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entityassumes our obligations under the Warrants. These and other provisions of the Warrants could prevent or deter a third party from acquiringus even where the acquisition could be beneficial to our stockholders.

 

 

Ourexecutive officers and directors, and their affiliated entities, own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exertsignificant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.

 

Ourexecutive officers and directors beneficially own approximately 12% of our Common Stock. In addition, as referenced above, we issued100,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to two members of our current management, Messrs. Charles A. Ross, Jr. and Doug E. Grau, whichhave superior voting rights of 1,000 to 1 over shares of our Common Stock, resulting in nearly 96% of the available stockholder votes.While the Certificate of Designation is named “Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”, the Company’sExisting Series A Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company or redeemable by either the Company oranother person.

 

Accordingly,these stockholders may, as a practical matter, continue to be able to control the election of a majority of our directors and the determinationof all corporate actions after this offering. This concentration of ownership could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company.

 

Wedo not anticipate that we will pay dividends on our Common Stock and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investmentwill depend on appreciation in the price of our Common Stock.

 

Wehave never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock at any time in the foreseeablefuture. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and otherfactors that our Board of Directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock, return on yourinvestment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our Common Stock.

 

RISKSRELATED TO THE INDUSTRY

 

Theindustry in which we operate is competitive, price sensitive and subject to risks of governmental regulations or laws. If our competitorsare better able to develop and market products that are more effective, less costly, easier to use, or are otherwise more attractive,we may be unable to compete effectively with other companies.

 

Thesafe and personal security industry is characterized by intense competition. We will face competition on the basis of product features,reliability, price, apparent value, and other factors. Competitors may include large safe makers and other companies, some of which havesignificantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do, and firms that are more specialized than we are with respect to particularmarkets. Our competition may respond more quickly to new or emerging styles, undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, have greaterfinancial, marketing and other resources than ours or may be more successful in attracting potential customers, employees and strategicpartners.

 

Ourindustry could experience greater scrutiny and regulation by governmental authorities, which may lead to greater governmental regulationin the future.

 

Therapidly growing interest in new concealed carry products that this rapidly growing market may attract the attention of government regulatorsand legislators. The current trend in legislation is to roll back or minimize access to firearms restrictions, but there can be no assurancethat this trend will continue.

 

 

RISKSRELATED TO THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY

 

Federalregulation and enforcement may adversely affect the implementation of medical controlled substance laws and regulations may negativelyimpact our revenues and profits.

 

Currently,many states plus the District of Columbia have laws or regulations that recognize, in one form or another, legitimate medical uses forcannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. Many other states are considering similar legislation. Conversely,under the Controlled Substance Act (the “CSA”), the policies and regulations of the Federal government and its agencies arethat cannabis has no medical benefit and a range of activities including cultivation and the personal use of cannabis is prohibited.Unless and until Congress amends the CSA with respect to medical marijuana, as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendmentsthere can be no assurance, there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law. Active enforcement of the currentfederal regulatory position on cannabis may thus indirectly and adversely affect our revenues and profits. The risk of strict enforcementof the CSA in light of Congressional activity, judicial holdings, and stated federal policy remains uncertain.

 

TheDOJ has not historically devoted resources to prosecuting individuals whose conduct is limited to possession of small amounts of marijuanafor use on private property but has relied on state and local law enforcement to address marijuana activity. In the event the DOJ reversesits stated policy and begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medical marijuana and recreational marijuanain small amounts, there may be a direct and adverse impact to our business and our revenue and profits. Furthermore, H.R. 83, enactedby Congress on December 16, 2014, provides that none of the funds made available to the DOJ pursuant to the 2015 Consolidated and FurtherContinuing Appropriations Act may be used to prevent certain states, including Nevada and California, from implementing their own lawsthat authorized the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.

 

Variationsin state and local regulation and enforcement in states that have legalized medical controlled substance that may restrict marijuana-relatedactivities, including activities related to medical cannabis and Biotech complex work on cannabis, may negatively impact our revenuesand profits.

 

Individualstate laws do not always conform to the federal standard or to other states laws. A number of states have decriminalized marijuana tovarying degrees, other states have created exemptions specifically for medical cannabis, and several have both decriminalization andmedical laws. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia and Guam have legalized the recreational use of cannabis. Variations existamong states that have legalized, decriminalized, or created medical marijuana exemptions. For example, Alaska and Colorado have limitson the number of marijuana plants that can be homegrown. In most states, the cultivation of marijuana for personal use continues to beprohibited except for those states that allow small-scale cultivation by the individual in possession of medical marijuana needing careor that person’s caregiver. Active enforcement of state laws that prohibit personal cultivation of marijuana may indirectly andadversely affect our business and our revenue and profits.

 

Itis possible that federal or state legislation could be enacted in the future that would prohibit us or potential customers from usingour products, and if such legislation were enacted, our revenues could decline, leading to a loss in your investment.

 

Weare not aware of any federal or state regulation that regulates the sale of indoor cultivation equipment to medical or recreational marijuanagrowers. The extent to which the regulation of drug paraphernalia under the CSA is applicable to the sale of our dispensaries is foundin the definition of “drug paraphernalia.” Drug paraphernalia means any equipment, product, or material of any kind thatis primarily intended or designed for use in manufacturing, compounding, converting, concealing, producing processing, preparing, injecting,ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing into the human body a controlled substance, possession of which is unlawful.

 

Marijuanaremains illegal under federal law

 

Cannabisis illegal under U.S. federal law. In those states in which the use of cannabis has been legalized, its use remains a violation of federallaw pursuant to the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811). The Controlled Substances Act classifies cannabis as a ScheduleI controlled substance, and as such, medical and adult use cannabis use is illegal under U.S. federal law. Unless and until Congressamends the Controlled Substances Act with respect to cannabis (and the President approves such amendment), there is a risk that federalauthorities may enforce current federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis pre-empts state laws that legalize itsuse, enforcement of federal law regarding cannabis is a significant risk and would likely result in our inability to precede with ourbusiness plans, especially in respect of expanding the reach of our dispensaries sale.

 

Weare indirectly engaged in the medical and adult use cannabis industry in the United States where local state law permits such activities.The legality of the production, cultivation, extraction, distribution, retail sales, transportation and use of cannabis differs amongstates in the United States. Due to the current regulatory environment in the United States, new risks may emerge, and management maynot be able to predict all such risks.

 

Asof September 2021, there were 36 states, plus the District of Columbia (and the territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islandsand the Northern Mariana Islands), that have laws and/or regulations that recognize, in one form or another, legitimate medical usesfor cannabis and consumer use of cannabis in connection with medical treatment. In addition, Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois,Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, Washington and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis for adult use.

 

Dueto the conflicting views between state legislatures and the federal government regarding cannabis, cannabis businesses are subject toinconsistent laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that the federal government will not enforce federal laws relating to cannabisand seek to prosecute cases involving cannabis businesses that are otherwise compliant with state laws in the future. While we are notsubject to these laws, the uncertainty of U.S. federal enforcement practices going forward and the inconsistency between U.S. federaland state laws and regulations present risks for our dispensary safes business, including incurring substantial costs associated withcompliance or altering certain aspects of our business plan.

Recent Developments and Trends

 

UnderwrittenPublic Offering

 

OnFebruary 9, 2022, we closed on an underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”) of 2,530,121 units (the“Common Units”), at a price to the public of $4.15 per Common Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10.5million, prior to deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and other estimated offering expenses. Each Common Unit consistedof one share of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (each a “Warrant” and collectivelythe “Warrants”). The Common Stock and Warrants were immediately separable from the Common Units and were issued andtrade separately. The Warrants are exercisable immediately, expire five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise priceof $5.1875 per share.

 

Wehave used the net proceeds from this offering to repay various outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes, includingworking capital, increased research and development expenditures and funding our growth strategies.

 

Results of Operations

 

From inception through December 31, 2021,we have generated an operating deficit of $26,969,657. We expect to incur additional losses during the fiscal year ending December31, 2022, and beyond, principally as a result of our increased investment in inventory, marketing expenses, and the limited salesof our new products as we seek to establish them in the marketplace.

 

Resultsof Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021

 

Revenueand cost of goods sold

 

Forthe year ended December 31, 2021, we reported Sales of $986,826, compared to Sales of $1,255,703 for the year ended December 31, 2020.The decrease is attributable to lack of inventory as the Company’s resources were diverted to completing its capital raise thatclosed on February 10, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we reported Cost of Sales of $812,130, compared to Cost of Sales of$952,511 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in Cost of Sales was again attributable to the reduced level of inventory.For the year ended December 31, 2021, we reported Gross Profit of $174,696, compared to Gross Profit of $303,192 for the year ended December31, 2020. The decrease in Gross Profit was attributable to the reduced level of inventory. 

 

 

Expenses

 

Totaloperating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021, were $3,486,135 compared to $3,075,113 for the year ended December 31, 2020, asfurther described below.

 

Forthe year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred consulting and business development expenses of $2,012,803, compared to consulting andbusiness development expenses of $529,094 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in consulting and business development expensesis due to additional expenses incurred related to preparing for an equity raise.

 

Forthe year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred product development expenses of $330,353, compared to product development expenses of $320,472for the year ended December 31, 2020. The amount of product development expenses was relatively similar.

 

Forthe year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred marketing and brand development expenses of $171,030, compared to marketing and brand developmentexpenses of $390,294 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in marketing and brand development expenses relates primarilyto the benefit of the prior year’s investment in the marketing of the American Rebel brand.

 

Forthe year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $968,306, compared to general and administrativeexpenses of $1,773,529 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease relates primarily to a decrease in professional, consultingand operating fees due to cost saving measures and the benefit of established systems set up in prior years.

The decrease in the net loss from the year ended December 31,2020, to the year ended December 31, 2021, is primarily due to the investment in compensation that occurred in September 2020.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Weare a development stage company and realized minimal revenue from our planned operations. We have a working capital deficit of $4,171,277at December 31, 2021, and have incurred a deficit of $26,969,657 from inception to December 31, 2021.

As we continue with the launch of our American Rebelsafes and concealed carry product line we have devoted and expect to continue to devote significant resources in the areas of capitalexpenditures and marketing, sales, and operational expenditures.

 

Weexpect to require additional funds to further develop our business plan, including the anticipated launch of additional products in additionto continuing to market our safes and concealed carry product line. Since it is impossible to predict with certainty the timing and amountof funds required to establish profitability, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional funds through equity or debt offeringsor otherwise in order to meet our expected future liquidity requirements. Any such financing that we undertake will likely be dilutiveto existing stockholders.

 

Inaddition, we expect to also need additional funds to respond to business opportunities and challenges, including our ongoing operatingexpenses, protecting our intellectual property, developing or acquiring new lines of business and enhancing our operating infrastructure.While we may need to seek additional funding for such purposes, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all.In addition, the terms of our financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of our Common Stock. We mayalso seek additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. We may not be able to negotiate any such arrangementson acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to curtail or terminatesome or all of our product lines.

CriticalAccounting Policies

 

Thepreparation of financial statements and related footnotes requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reportedamounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

 

Anaccounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters thatare highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes inthe accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.

 

FinancialReporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparationof financial statements. There are no critical policies or decisions that rely on judgments that are based on assumptions about mattersthat are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made. Note 1 to the financial statements, included elsewhere in this report, includesa summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Off-BalanceSheet Arrangements

 

None.

 

CriticalAccounting Policies

 

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

 

Useof Estimates

 

Thepreparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requiresus to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assetsand liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements includethe valuation of allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred tax assets, inventories, useful lives of assets, intangibleassets, and stock-based compensation.

 

Inventory

 

Inventoryconsists of backpacks, jackets, safes and accessories manufactured to our design and held for resale and are carried at the lower ofcost (First-in, First-out Method) or market value. The Company determines the estimate for the reserve for slow moving or obsolete inventoriesby regularly evaluating individual inventory levels, projected sales and current economic conditions. The Company also makes depositpayments on inventory to be manufactured that are carried separately until the goods are received into inventory.

 

Researchand Development

 

Todate, we have expensed all costs associated with developing our product specifications, manufacturing procedures, and products throughproduct development expense as this work was done by our design and engineering team.

 

RevenueRecognition

 

Inaccordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenues are recognized when control ofthe promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitledin exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: (1) Identify thecontract with a client; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate thetransaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performanceobligation.

 

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

 

ExciseTax

 

Noneapplicable.

 

FairValue of Financial Instruments

 

Fairvalue estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximatedtheir fair values. These financial instruments include cash, and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying valuesfor cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable ondemand.

 

 

Level1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” withthe caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactionsinvolving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especiallyphysical assets, actually trade in active markets.

 

Level2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, theymay be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputsthat can be applied in three situations.

 

Level3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) acknowledges thatfair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,”and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.”This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurementdate”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reportingcompany and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.

 

IncomeTaxes

 

TheCompany follows ASC Topic 740 for recording provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon thedifference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicablewhen the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the changesin the asset or liability for each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or the entiredeferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is morelikely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income tax in theperiod of change.

 

Deferredincome tax may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposesin different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilitiesto which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classifiedas current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

TheCompany applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition oftax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2021,and December 31, 2020, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positionswith less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standard has not had amaterial effect on the Company.

 

TheCompany does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve (12) months.

 

TheCompany classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021,and 2020, respectively, no income tax expense has been recorded.

 

Stock-BasedCompensation

 

TheCompany records stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognizeexpense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactionsusing the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizesthe cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.

 

TheCompany accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordancewith FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of theconsideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The valueof equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitmentor completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.

OurCompetitive Strengths

 

Webelieve we are moving forward on a path to long-term, sustainable growth, and our business has, and our future success will be drivenby, the following competitive strengths:

 

●

Powerful Brand Identity – we believe we have developed a strong brand that sets us apart from our competitors. We believe this is a distinguish factor and will contribute to the future success of our business. Our brand is predicated on patriotism and quintessential American character: protecting our loved ones. We strive to equip our safes with technologically advanced features that offer customers advanced security to provide the peace of mind they need. Maintaining, protecting and enhancing the “American Rebel” brand is critical to expanding our loyal enthusiasts base, network of dealers and other partners. Through branded apparel and accessories, we seek to further develop our connection with the American Rebel community and share the values of patriotism and safety that our Company stands for. We strive to continue to meet their demand for our premium safes and will depend largely on our ability to maintain customer trust, be a gun safe storage leader and continue to provide high-quality safes,

 

●

Product Design and Development – our current safe model relies on what we believe are time-tested features, such as Four-Way Active Boltworks, pinning the door shut on all four sides when Three-Way Boltworks are standard in our competitors’ safes, and benefits that would not often be available in our price point, including 11-gauge US-made steel. The sleek exterior of our safes has garnered attention and earned the moniker from our dealers as the “safe with an attitude.” When we set out to enter the safe market, we wanted to offer a safe that we would want to buy, one that would get our attention and provide excellent value for the cost.

 

●

Focus on Product Performance - since the introduction of our first safes, we have maintained a singular focus on creating a full range of safe, quality, reliable safes that were designed to help our customers keep their family and valuables safe at all times. We incorporate advanced features into our safes that are designed to improve strength and durability. Key elements of our safes’ performance include:

 

DoublePlate Steel Door - 4 ½” Thick

ReinforcedDoor Edge – 7/16” Thick

Double-SteelDoor Casement

SteelWalls – 11-Gauge

DiameterDoor Bolts – 1 ¼” Thick

Four-WayActive Boltworks – AR-50(14), AR-40(12), AR-30(10), AR-20(10), AR-15(8), AR-12(8)

Diamond-EmbeddedArmor Plate

 

DoublePlate Steel Door is formed from two American made steel plates with fire insulation sandwiched inside. Thicker steel isplaced on the outside of the door while the inner steel provides additional door rigidity and attachment for the locking mechanismand bolt works. The door edge is reinforced with up to four layers of laminated steel. This exclusive design offers up to 16 timesgreater door strength and rigidity than the “thin metal bent to look thick” doors.

 

Double-SteelDoor Casement This casement is formed from two or more layers of steel and is welded around the perimeter of the door opening.It more than quadruples the strength of the door opening and provides a more secure and pry-resistant door mounting. Our manufacturerinstalls a Double-Steel Door Casement on all of its models. Most of our competitors do not offer the reinforced door casement.

 

Diamond-EmbeddedArmor Plate Industrial diamond is bonded to a tungsten steel alloy hard plate. Diamond is harder than either a cobalt orcarbide drill. If drilling is attempted the diamond removes the cutting edge from a drill – thus dulling the drill bit to whereit will not cut.

 

 

●

Trusted Brand - we believe that we have developed a trusted brand with both retailers and consumers for delivering reliable, secure safes solutions.

 

●

Customer Satisfaction - we believe we have established a reputation for delivering high-quality safes and personal security products in a timely manner, in accordance with regulatory requirements and our retailers’ delivery requirements and supporting our products with a consistent merchandising and marketing message. We also believe that our high level of service, combined with strong consumer demand for our products and our focused distribution strategy, produces substantial customer satisfaction and loyalty. We also believe we have cultivated an emotional connection with the brand which symbolizes a lifestyle of freedom, rugged individualism, excitement and a sense of bad boy rebellion.

 

●

Proven Management Team - our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Charles A. Ross, Jr., has led the expansion and focus on the select product line we offer today. We believe that Mr. Ross had an immediate and positive impact on our brand, products, team members, and customers. Under Mr. Ross’s leadership, we believe that we have built a strong brand and strengthened the management team. We are refocusing on the profitability of our products, reinforcing the quality of safes and engaging customers and drive sales. We believe our management team possess an appropriate mix of skills, broad range of professional experience, and leadership designed to drive board performance and properly oversee the interests of the Company, including our long-term corporate strategy. Our management team also reflects a balanced approach to tenure that will allow the Board to benefit from a mix of newer directors who bring fresh perspectives and seasoned directors who bring continuity and a deep understanding of our complex business.

 

OurGrowth Strategy

 

Ourgoal is to enhance our position as a designer, producer and marketer of premium safes and personal security products. We haveestablished plans to grow our business by focusing on three key areas: (1) organic growth and expansion in existing markets; (2) strategicacquisitions, and (3) expanding the scope of our operation activities to the dispensaries U.S. community.

 

Wehave developed what we believe is a multi-pronged growth strategy, as described below, to help us capitalize on a sizable opportunity.Through methodical sales and marketing efforts, we believe we have implemented several key initiatives we can use to grow our businessmore effectively. We believe we have made significant progress in 2021 in the form of nearly $200,000 in sales to first-time buyers.We also intend to opportunistically pursue the strategies described below to continue our upward trajectory and enhance stockholdervalue. Key elements of our strategy to achieve this goal are as follows:

 

OrganicGrowth and Expansion in Existing Markets - Build ourCore Business

 

Thecornerstone of our business has historically been our safes product offering. We are focused on continuing to develop our home, officeand personal safes product lines. We are investing in adding what we believe are distinctive technology solutions to our safes.

 

We are also working to increase floor space dedicatedto our safes and strengthen our online presence in order to expand our reach to new enthusiasts and build our devoted American Rebelcommunity. We intend to continue to endeavor to create and provide retailers and customers with what we believe are responsible,safe, reliable and stylish products, and we expect to concentrate on tailoring our supply and distribution logistics in responseto the specific demands of our customers.

 

Weare currently developing a new model of our home and office safes. Our new safe model,which we expect to introduce at industry trade shows in early 2022, is to bebuilt in the U.S. We expect the new planned model to include additionalfeatures, such as a reinforced door and upgraded locking mechanism, among others. We are focused on developing best in class, compellingcombination of functionality, convenience and style without compromising performance of our safes. We intend to use our designingand developing processes to enhance technological and time to market advantages over incumbent safes manufacturers.

 

 

Whilewe currently rely on third-party manufactures for the production ofour current line of safes, apparel and accessories, we believe that the expected addition of manufacturing capabilities followingthe signing of the contract with the aforementioned manufacturer, which we anticipate to work exclusively with us,would allow us, among other benefits, to ramp up our production levels to meet expected demand for our products, provide us greater autonomyover the manufacturing process, and add what we believe are distinctive features.

 

Additionally,our Concealed Carry Product line and Safe line serve a large and growing market segment. We believe that interest in safes increase,as well as in our complimentary concealed carry backpacks and apparel as a byproduct, when interest of the general population in firearmsincrease. To this extent, the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which we believe serves as a proxyfor gun sales since a background check is generally needed to purchase a firearm, reported a record number of background checks in 2020,39,695,315. The prior annual record for background checks was 2019’s 28,369,750. In 2021, there were 38,876,673 backgroundchecks conducted, similar to that of 2020’s annual record which was 40% higher than the previous annual record in 2019.While we do not expect this increase in background checks to necessarily translate to an equivalent number of additional safes purchased,we do believe it might be an indicator of the increased demand in the safe market. In addition, certain states (such as Massachusetts,California, New York and Connecticut) are starting to legislate new storage requirements in respect of firearms, which is expectedto have positive impact on the sale of safes.

 

Wecontinue to strive to strengthen our relationships with our current distributors, dealers, manufacturers and specialty retailersand to attract other distributors, dealers, and retailers. We believe that the success of our efforts depends on the distinctive features,quality, and performance of our products; continued manufacturing capabilities and meeting demand for our safes; the effectiveness ofour marketing and merchandising programs; and the dedicated customer support.

 

Inaddition, we seek to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty by offering distinctive, high-quality products on a timely and cost-attractivebasis and by offering efficient customer service. We regard the features, quality, and performance of our products as the most importantcomponents of our customer satisfaction and loyalty efforts, but we also rely on customer service and support.

 

Furthermore,we intend to continue improving our business operations, including research and development, component sourcing, production processes,marketing programs, and customer support. Thus, we are continuing our efforts to enhance our production by increasing daily productionquantities through equipment acquisitions, expanded shifts and process improvements, increased operational availability of our equipment,reduced equipment down times, and increased overall efficiency.

 

Webelieve that by enhancing our brand recognition, our market share might grow correspondingly. Industry sources estimate that 70 millionto 80 million people in the United States own an aggregate of more than 400 million firearms, creating a large potential market for oursafes and personal security products. We are focusing on the premium segment of the market through the quality, distinctiveness, andperformance of our products; the effectiveness of our marketing and merchandising efforts; and the attractiveness of our competitivepricing strategies.

 

TargetedStrategic Acquisitions for Long-term Growth

 

Weare consistently evaluating and considering acquisitions opportunities that fit our overall growth strategy as part of our corporatemission to accelerate long-term value for our stockholders and create integrated value chains.

 

Alongthese lines, in March of 2022 we entered into a letter of intent (“LOI”) to purchase a safe manufacturer. The final structureof the acquisition will be determined by the parties following the receipt of tax, corporate and securities law advice. The acquisitionwill be structured as an arm’s length transaction and pursuant to the terms of the LOI the parties intend to sign a definitiveagreement in respect of the acquisition on or before April 30, 2022. Under the terms of the LOI, we would acquire all of the outstandingshares of capital stock of the acquisition target, free and clear of all encumbrances for a combination of cash and stock. As part ofthe LOI, we gave the target a $250,000 non-refundable deposit, which will be credited to us at closing. Completion of the acquisitionis subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to the following key conditions: the target obtaining an audit of itsfinancial statements; execution of the definitive and ancillary agreements; completion of mutually satisfactory due diligence; us obtainingsufficient financing to complete the acquisition; and receipt of all required regulatory, corporate and third-party approvals, and thefulfillment of all applicable regulatory requirements and conditions necessary to complete the acquisition. 

 

 

ExpandingScope of Operations Activities Servicing Dispensaries and Brand Licensing

 

Wecontinually seek to target new consumer segments for our safes. As we believe that safes are becoming a must-have household appliance,we strive to establish authenticity by selling our products to additional groups, and to expand our direct-to-consumer presence throughour website and our showroom in Lenexa, Kansas.

 

Further, we expect the cannabis dispensary industryto be a material growth segment for our business. Several cannabis dispensary operators have expressed interest in theopportunity to help them with their inventory locking needs. Cannabis dispensaries have various insurance requirements and localordinances requiring them to secure their inventory when the dispensary is closed. Dispensary operators have been purchasing gun safesand independently taking out the inside themselves to allow them to store cannabis inventory. Recognizing what seems to bea growing need for cannabis dispensary operators, we have designed a safe tailor-made for the cannabis industry. With the legal cannabishyper-growth market expected to exceed $43 billion by 2025, and an increasing number of states where the growth and cultivation of cannabisis legal (California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington),we believe we are well positioned to address the need of dispensaries. American Rebel has a long list of dispensary operators, growers,and processors interested in the Company’s inventory control solutions. We believe that dispensary operators, growers, andprocessors are another fertile new growth market for our Vault Doors products, as many in the cannabis space havechosen to install entire vault rooms instead of individual inventory control safes—the American Rebel Vault Door has beenthe choice for that purpose.

 

Further, we believe that American Rebel has significantpotential for branded products as a lifestyle brand. As the American Rebel Brand continues to grow in popularity, we anticipateto generate additional revenue from licensing fees earned from third parties who wish to engage the American Rebel community. While theCompany does not generate material revenues from licensing fees, our management believes the American Rebel brand name may inthe future have significant licensing value to third parties that seek the American Rebel name to brand their products to market to theAmerican Rebel target demographic. For example, a tool manufacturer that wants to pursue an alternative marketing plan for a differentlook and feel could license the American Rebel brand name for their line of tools and market their tools under our distinct brand. Thislicensee would benefit from the strong American Rebel brand with their second line of American Rebel branded tools as they would continueto sell both the line of tools under their brand. Conversely, American Rebel could potentially also benefit as a licensee of products.If American Rebel determines a third party has designed, engineered, and manufactured a product that would be a strong addition to theAmerican Rebel catalog of products, American Rebel could license that product from the third-party and sell the licensed productunder the American Rebel brand.

 

Competition

 

The safe industry is dominated by a small number of companies. We competeprimarily on the quality, safety, reliability, features, performance, brand awareness, and price of our products. Ourprimary competitors Superior Safe, Champion Safe as well as certain other domestic manufacturers, as well as certain China-basedmanufactured safes. Safes manufactured in China, including Steelwater and Alpha-Guardian, have struggled under the import tariffs initiatedunder the administration of former U.S President Donald Trump and continued by the current administration. We believe that given thecurrent substantial uncertainty related to the supply chain and delivery of international goods,we have a competitive advantage because our safes are not manufactured overseas.

 

 

IntellectualProperty

 

Ourcommercial success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our brand and technology,defend and enforce our intellectual property rights, preserve the confidentiality of our trade secrets, operate our business withoutinfringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property or proprietary rights of third parties and prevent thirdparties from infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of patent,copyright and trade secret laws in the United States to protect our proprietary technology. We also rely on a number of United Statesregistered, pending and common law trademarks to protect our brand “American Rebel”.

 

OnMay 29, 2018, US Patent No. 9,984,552, Firearm Detecting Luggage, was issued to us. The term of the patent is 20 years from the issuancedate. In addition to our patent, we rely upon unpatented trade secrets and know-how and continuing technological development andmaintain our competitive position. Trade secrets and know-how, however, can be difficult to protect. We seek to protect our proprietaryinformation, in part, by entering into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements with our employees and independent contractors.

 

Regulation

 

Thestorage of firearms and ammunition is subject to increasing federal, state and local governmental laws. While the current legislativeclimate does not appear to seek to limit possession of firearms, there is apparent momentum to require safe storage of firearms and ammunition.Although our safes, which are the primary driver of our sales and revenues, are designed to protect any valuables, a significant numberof our safes’ end users have traditionally been gunenthusiasts, collectors, hunters, sportsmen and competitive shooters. Therefore, we expect the increasing federal, state and local governmentalregulation of gun storage to have a materially positive effect on our business.

 

OurCustomers

 

Weprimarily market and sell our products to safe only specialty stores and independent gun stores nationwide. We also sell our productsonline to individuals desiring home, personal and office protection, as well as to recreational shooters and hunters. Our customers chooseus for a number of reasons, including the breadth and availability of the products we offer, our extensive expertise, and the qualityof our customer service.

 

Webelieve the nature of our solutions and our high-touch customer service model strengthens relationships, builds loyalty and drives repeatbusiness as our customers’ businesses expand. In addition, we feel as if our premium product lines and comprehensive product portfolioposition us well to meet our customers’ needs. Furthermore, we fully anticipate that we will be able to leverage all of the datathat we are collecting from our existing customer base to make continuous improvements to our offerings and better serve our currentand new customers in the future.

 

Weintend to expand our distribution to sporting goods stores, farm and home stores, other independent retailers as well as our online customerbase upon securing additional funding and setting up our first manufacturing facility.

 

Suppliers

 

Weare dependent on the continued supply and manufacturing of our safes, backpacks and apparel at third-party facilities locations, whichare critical to our success. Any event that causes a disruption of the operation of these facilities for even a relatively short periodof time would adversely affect our ability to ship and deliver our safes and other products and to provide service to our customers.We have previously experienced, including during the first months after the spread of COVID-19 pandemic, and may in the futureexperience, launch and production ramp up delays for our products as a result of disruption at our suppliers manufacturing partners.Additionally, we have to date fully qualified only a very limited number of such suppliers and have limited flexibility in changing suppliers.Any disruption in the supply of our branded safes from our suppliers could limit our sales. In the long term, we intend to supplementsafes manufactured by our suppliers with safes manufactured by us, which we believe will be more efficient and result in a greater manufacturingvolume and under our control. Our efforts to develop and manufacture such safes, however, have required and may require significant investments,and there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve these targets in the timeframes that we have planned or at all. If we areunable to do so, we may have to curtail our planned safes or procure additional safes from different suppliers at potentially greatercosts, either of which may harm our business and operating results.

 

 

Furthermore,the cost of safes, whether manufactured by our suppliers or by us, depends in part upon the prices and availability of raw manufacturingmaterials such as steel, locks, fireboard, hinges, pins and other metals. The prices for these materials fluctuate and their availablesupply may be unstable, depending on market conditions and global demand for these materials, including as a result of increased globalproduction of electric vehicles and energy storage products. Any reduced availability of these materials may impact our access to theseparts and any increases in their prices may reduce our profitability if we cannot recoup the increased costs through increased safe prices.Moreover, any such attempts to increase product prices may harm our brand, prospects and operating results.

 

Wecurrently rely on third-party suppliers to ship our products to our customers. We have found that dedicated truckloads from our warehouseto our dealers reduce freight damage and provide the overall best shipping solution. Several companies offer dedicated truckload shipping.Increased sales will offer the opportunity to establish regional distribution centers.

 

Salesand Marketing

 

Wemarket our products to consumers through independent safe specialty stores, select national and regional retailers, local specialty firearmsstores, as well as via e-commerce. We maintain consumer-focused product marketing and promotional campaigns, which include print anddigital advertising campaigns; social and electronic media; product demonstrations; point-of-sales materials; in-store training;and in-store retail merchandising. Our use of social media includes Facebook, and YouTube.

 

MarketingTeam Aligned with Sales Force to Maximize Our Industry Visibility to Drive Revenue

 

Our Chief Executive Officer, Charles A.Ross, is familiar to many in the industry due to his twelve years on television as the host of Maximum Archery and later AmericanRebel, that was broadcast on The Outdoor Channel, Sportsman Channel and the Pursuit Channel. Our Marketing and Sales teams have establishedAmerican Rebel as a brand that our customers want and a brand that they are proud to embrace and bring into their homes.

 

DirectMarketing

 

In light of the expertise required to deliverand install safes that weigh 500-1000 pounds, direct marketing is utilized to create awareness and provide information. Our website,AmericanRebel.com, has proven to be a very valuable tool in introducing potential customers to our products. Infomercials and direct-to-consumercampaigns are vehicles to expand our reach at the appropriate time. Currently the demand from our current customers and future customerpool of independent safe specialty stores is high. As the Company grows and seeks out new customers to expand its customer base, directmarketing will be an asset for American Rebel. Chief Executive Officer, Charles A. Ross, was basically making infomercials to promotehis Ross Archery products when he was filming Maximum Archery during the mid-2000s.

 

SocialMedia and Thought Leadership

 

A portion of marketing dollars from the equityraise will be directed to social media. American Rebel and Chief Executive Officer, Charles A. Ross, have large followings onsocial media and a dedicated social media campaign will efficiently reach large numbers of potential customers and brand adopters. Wewill leverage our social media assets to cross-promote locally with independent safe specialty store customers to pull out product throughthe sales channel. Driving demand and awareness of our products to our customers will expand their loyalty to American Rebel and increaseeach stores’ commitment to our brand.

 

TradeShows

 

Trade shows have been an important medium tointroducing our brand and our products. The NRA Annual Meeting, a consumer trade show, is a valuable opportunity to meet and greet ourfinal customers. When we launched our Concealed Carry line of products at the NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA, in the Spring of 2017,the response from the meeting attendees was overwhelming. We immediately knew the product line resonated with consumers. Similarly, whenwe introduced our line of safes at the 2019 NRA Annual Meeting in the Spring of 2019, we knew we were on to something significant. TheUSCCA (United States Concealed Carry Association) has an annual Concealed Carry and Home Defense Expo. This is also an excellent opportunityto meet, greet and sell product to our final customers, the buying public. The Iowa Deer Classic and Illinois Deer Classic are carryoversfrom our Chief Executive Officer, Charles A. Ross’ hosting duties on Maximum Archery, but we have found that many potentialsafe buyers attend these shows.

 

 

Twoindustry-only trade shows we attend are the SHOT Show and Nation’s Best Sports (NBS) Spring and Fall Buying Markets. TheSHOT Show is very high profile and a show that most movers and shakers in the firearms industry attend. Operated by the National ShootingSports Foundation, the SHOT Show is the first trade show of the calendar year and is a great opportunity to introduce the year’snew products. NBS operates buying group shows where retailers who are members of NBS attend the Spring and Fall Market Buying shows toplace orders. NBS provides an excellent base of customers for us to introduce our products to.

 

PaidAdvertising

 

We will occasionally purchase paid print advertisingto support editorial and events. The American Shooting Journal has been very supportive of our business has featured an interview withour Chief Executive Officer on one of past issues of the magazine.

 

Effectsof COVID-19

 

Coronavirus(“COVID-19”) and Related Market Impact. The COVID-19outbreak has presented evolving risks and developments domestically and internationally, as wellas new opportunities for our business. Although the pandemic has not materially impacted our results and operations adversely,our ability to satisfy demand for our products could be negatively impacted by mandatory forced production disruptions of our safes’sole third-party manufacturer and strategic partners. Any significant disruption to communications and travel, including travel restrictionsand other potential protective quarantine measures against COVID-19 by governmental agencies, could make it difficult for us to delivergoods and services to our customers. Further, travel restrictions and protective measures against COVID-19 could cause the Company toincur additional unexpected labor costs and expenses or could restrain the Company’s ability to retain the highly skilled personnelthe Company needs for its operations. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business, sales and results of operationswill depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be currently predicted.

 

Additionally,as a result of COVID-19, at any time we may be subject to increased operating costs, supply interruptions, and difficulties in obtainingraw materials and components. To address these challenges, we continue to monitor our supply chain. We have recently entered into a contractwith a third-party manufacturer to exclusively assemble our upcoming new line of safes. We believe that this vertical integration wouldallow us, among other benefits, to ramp up our production levels to meet expected demand for our products, provide us greater autonomyover the manufacturing process, and add what we believe are distinctive features to our safes.

 

Weexpect that the demand for home, office and personal safety and security products would remain stable, in part due to customers spendingmore time working remotely, increasing regulation mandating safe storage, and substantial uncertainty related to the supply chain anddelivery of international goods, which in turn translate into, we believe, growth in demand for our home and personal safes as a U.S.company. We, however, cannot guarantee, that demand for our safes and personal security products will keep growing through the end ofthe 2021 calendar year and beyond.

 

Further,due to the effects of COVID-19, our management have reduced unnecessary marketing expenditures as part of continued efforts to adjustthe Company’s operations to address changes in the safes and vault industry, and particularly to improve staff and human capitalexpenditures, while maintaining overall workforce levels.

 

Dueto the substantial uncertainty related to the effects of the pandemic, its duration and the related market impacts, including the economicstimulus activity, we are unable to predict the specific impact the pandemic and related restrictions (including the lifting or re-imposingof restrictions due to any current or future variants of the COVID-19 virus or otherwise) will have on our results of operations, liquidityor long-term financial results.

The number of sharesof Common Stock that are the subject of awards under the LTIP which are forfeited or terminated, are settled in cash in lieu of sharesof Common Stock or in a manner such that all or some of the shares covered by an award are not issued to a participant or are exchangedfor awards that do not involve shares will again immediately become available to be issued pursuant to awards granted under the LTIP.If shares of Common Stock are withheld from payment of an award to satisfy tax obligations with respect to the award, those shares ofCommon Stock will be treated as shares that have been issued under the LTIP and will not again be available for issuance under the LTIP.In March of 2021, we authorized the grant and issuance of 53,625 shares of Common Stock under the LTIP to On January 1, 2021,we adopted a long-term incentive plan and in March of 2021 made two grants totaling 53,625 shares of Common Stock under such plan.

Theseprovisions, summarized below, would be expected to discourage certain types of takeover practices and takeover bids our Board may considerinadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increasedprotection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us willoutweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposalscould result in an improvement of their terms.

SHARESELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Futuresales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding optionsor warrants, or upon debt conversion, or the anticipation of these sales, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time totime and could impair our ability to raise capital through sales of equity securities.

 

Upon completionof this offering, we estimate that we will have 4,741,321 outstanding shares of our Common Stock, assuming no further conversionsof preferred stock, no exercise of outstanding options or warrants, and no sale of shares reserved for the underwriter.

 

Saleof Restricted Securities

 

Theshares of our Common Stock sold pursuant to this offering will be registered under the Securities Act or 1933, as amended, and thereforefreely transferable, except for our affiliates. Our affiliates will be deemed to own “control” securities that are not registeredfor resale under the registration statement covering this prospectus. Individuals who may be considered our affiliates after this offeringinclude individuals who control, are controlled by or are under common control with us, as those terms generally are interpreted forfederal securities law purposes. These individuals may include some or all of our directors and executive officers. Individuals who areour affiliates are not permitted to resell their shares of our Common Stock unless such shares are separately registered under an effectiveregistration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available,such as Rule 144.

 

Rule144

 

Ingeneral, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), including an affiliate, who beneficiallyowns “restricted securities” (i.e., securities that are not registered by an effective registration statement) ofa “reporting company” may not sell these securities until the person has beneficially owned them for at least six months.Thereafter, affiliates may not sell within any three-month period a number of shares in excess of the greater of: (i) 1% of the thenoutstanding shares of Common Stock as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the issuer; and (ii) the average weeklyreported trading volume in such securities during the four preceding calendar weeks.

 

Salesunder Rule 144 by our affiliates will also be subject to restrictions relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of currentpublic information about us and may be affected only through unsolicited brokers’ transactions.

 

Personsnot deemed to be affiliates who have beneficially owned “restricted securities” for at least six months but for less thanone year may sell these securities, provided that current public information about the Company is “available,” which meansthat, on the date of sale, we have been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days and are currentin our Exchange Act filings. After beneficially owning “restricted securities” for one year, our non-affiliates may engagein unlimited re-sales of such securities.

 

Sharesreceived by our affiliates in this offering or upon exercise of stock options or upon vesting of other equity-linked awards may be “controlsecurities” rather than “restricted securities.” “Control securities” are subject to the same volume limitationsas “restricted securities” but are not subject to holding period requirements.

 

Rule701

 

Rule701 generally allows a stockholder who purchased shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan orcontract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell these sharesin reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or noticeprovisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of the Company to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complyingwith the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after thedate of this prospectus before selling such shares pursuant to Rule 701 and until expiration of the lock-up period described below.

 

Lock-UpAgreements

 

In connection with this offering, the Company,and its officers, directors and certain stockholders have agreed to a “lock-up” period from the closing of this offering,with respect to the shares that they beneficially own, including shares issuable upon the exercise of convertible securities and optionsthat are currently outstanding or which may be issued. This means that, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days (in thecase of our executive officers and directors) and three hundred sixty (360) days (in the case of us, our 5% stockholders, andour stockholders receiving shares pursuant to automatic conversions or exchange agreements) following the closing of this offering, suchpersons may not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of these securities without the prior written consent of the underwriters. The180-day or 360-day, as the case may be, restricted period is subject to extension upon certain events and the terms of the lock-upagreements may be waived at the underwriters’ discretion. The lock-up restrictions, specified exceptions and the circumstancesunder which the 180-day or 360-day, as the case may be, lock-up period may be extended are described in more detail under “Underwriting.”

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidatedbalance sheets of American Rebel Holdings, Inc.

In our opinion, the financial statements presentfairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, and the results of its operationsand its cash flows for the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generallyaccepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have beenprepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Companyhas suffered recurring losses from operations that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’splans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might resultfrom the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibilityof the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on ouraudit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and arerequired to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules andregulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with thestandards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financialstatements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engagedto perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understandingof internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’sinternal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assessthe risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respondto those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well asevaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

Critical audit mattersare matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated tothe audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved ourespecially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Forthe purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are consideredto be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.

 

Inventoryand Inventory Deposits

 

Inventoryconsists of safes, backpacks, jackets and accessories manufactured to our design and held for resale and are carried at the lower ofcost (First-in, First-out Method) or market value. The Company determines the estimate for the reserve for slow moving or obsolete inventoriesby regularly evaluating individual inventory levels, projected sales and current economic conditions. The Company also makes depositpayments on inventory to be manufactured that are carried separately until the goods are received into inventory.

 

Fixedassets and depreciation

 

Propertyand equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements are capitalized while ordinary maintenanceand repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recorded by the straight-line method over the estimated usefullife of the asset, which ranges from five to seven years.

 

Revenuerecognition

 

Inaccordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenues are recognized when control ofthe promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expectsto be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the followingfive steps: 1) Identify the contract with a client; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transactionprice; (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the companysatisfies a performance obligation.

 

TheCompany adopted this ASC on January 1, 2018. Although the new revenuestandard is expected to have an immaterial impact, if any, on the Company’s ongoing net income, the Company did implementchanges to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them.

 

Advertisingcosts

 

Advertisingcosts are expensed as incurred; Marketing costs incurred were $171,030and $390,294for the years ended December 31, 2021and 2020, respectively.

 

Fairvalue of financial instruments

 

Fairvalue estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instrumentsapproximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximatecarrying values for cash and payables because they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or theyare payable on demand.

 

Level1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” withthe caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactionsinvolving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especiallyphysical assets, actually trade in active markets.

 

Level2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, theymay be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputsthat can be applied in three situations.

 

F-8

 

Level3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) acknowledges thatfair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,”and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.”This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurementdate”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reportingcompany and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.

 

Stock-basedcompensation

 

TheCompany records stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognizeexpense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactionsusing the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizesthe cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.

 

TheCompany accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordancewith FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of theconsideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The valueof equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitmentor completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.

 

F-9

 

Earningsper share

 

TheCompany follows ASC Topic 260 to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations aredetermined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the year. Dilutedearnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutivecommon share equivalents outstanding. During periods when Common Stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not consideredin the computation.

 

Incometaxes

 

TheCompany follows ASC Topic 740 for recording provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon thedifference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicablewhen the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the changesin the asset or liability for each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or the entiredeferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is morelikely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income tax in theperiod of change.

 

Deferredincome tax may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposesin different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilitiesto which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classifiedas current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

TheCompany applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition oftax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As of December31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactivetax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standardhas not had a material effect on the Company.

 

TheCompany does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

 

TheCompany classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,respectively, no income tax expense has been recorded.

 

Useof estimates

 

Thepreparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at thedate of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differsignificantly from those estimates.

 

Rightof Use Assets and Lease Liabilities

 

InFebruary 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on thebalance sheet as a Right-of-Use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability and requires leases to be classified as either an operatingor a finance type lease. The standard excludes leases of intangible assets or inventory. The standard became effective for the Companybeginning January 1, 2019. The Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach, by applying the new standard to allleases existing at the date of initial application. Results and disclosure requirements for reporting periods beginning after January1, 2019 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance withour historical accounting under ASC 840. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the standard, whichalso allowed the Company to carry forward historical lease classifications. The Company also elected the practical expedient relatedto treating lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all equipment leases as well as electing a policy exclusionpermitting leases with an original lease term of less than one year to be excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities.

 

F-10

 

UnderASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencementdate based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only paymentsthat are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, theCompany estimated the incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes anylease payments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. The Company’ lease terms may includeoptions to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.

 

Operatingleases are included in operating lease Right-of-Use assets and operating lease liabilities, current and non-current, on the Company’sconsolidated balance sheets.

 

Recentpronouncements

 

TheCompany evaluated recent accounting pronouncements through December 31, 2021 and believes that none have a material effect onthe Company’s financial statements.

  

ConcentrationRisk

 

In2021, the Company purchased a substantial portion (over 20%)of inventory from two third-party vendors. As of December 31, 2021, the net amount due to the vendors (accounts payable and accruedexpense) was $0.Similarly, as of December 31, 2020, the net amount due to the vendors (accounts payable and accrued expenses) was also $0.The loss of these manufacturing vendor relationshipscould have a material effect on the Company, but the Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted shouldthese suppliers become unavailable or non-competitive.

 

NOTE2 – GOING CONCERN

 

Theaccompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates therecoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above, the Company is in thedevelopment stage and, accordingly, has not yet generated significant revenues from operations. Since inception, the Company has beenengaged in financing activities and executing its business plan of operations and incurring costs and expenses related to developingproducts and market identity, obtaining inventory and preparing for public product launch. As a result, the Company incurred net income(losses) for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 of ($6,098,944)and ($5,981,082),respectively. The Company’s accumulated deficit was ($26,969,657)as of December 31, 2021, and ($20,870,713)as of December 31, 2020. The Company’sworking capital deficit was ($4,171,277)as of December 31, 2021, and a deficit of ($4,726,654)as of December 31, 2020. In addition,the Company’s development activities since inception have been sustained through equity and debt financing and the deferral ofpayments on accounts payable and other expenses.

 

Theability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise capital from the sale of its equity and,ultimately, the achievement of operating revenues. Management believes holders of its warrants will execute their outstanding warrantsgenerating investment capital for the Company. Management is also in discussion with several investment banks and broker dealers regardingthe initiation of a capital campaign.

 

Managementbelieves sufficient funding can be secured through the obtaining of loans, as well as future offerings of its preferred and CommonStock to institutional and other financial sources. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will obtain this additionalworking capital, or if obtained, that such funding will not cause substantial dilution its stockholders. If the Company is unable tosecure such additional funds from these sources, it may be forced to change or delay its business plan rollout.

TheCompany evaluates outstanding warrants as derivative liabilities and will recognize any changes in the fair value through earnings. TheCompany determined that the Warrants have an immaterial fair value at December 31, 2020. The warrants do not trade in a highly activesecurities market, and as such, the Company estimated the fair value of these Common Stock equivalents using Black-Scholes andthe following assumptions:

 

Expectedvolatility was based primarily on historical volatility. Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recentperiods. The Company’s Common Stock has not traded so the volatility computation was based on other similarly situated companies.The Company believes this method produced an estimate that was representative of the Company’s expectations of future volatilityover the expected term which due to their maturity period as expiry, it was three years. The Company had no reason to believe futurevolatility over the expected remaining life of these Common Stock equivalents was likely to differ materially from historicalvolatility. Expected life was based on three years due to the expiry of maturity. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury ratethat corresponded to the expected term of the Common Stock equivalents.

Item14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

TheNevada Revised Statutes limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetarydamages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws include provisions thatrequire the company to indemnify our directors or officers against monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of ourCompany. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect our directors, officers,employees and agents for certain liabilities. Our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation do not containany limiting language regarding director immunity from liability.

 

Thelimitation of liability and indemnification provisions under the Nevada Revise Statutes and our Amended and Restated Bylaws maydiscourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also havethe effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful,might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder,to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover,the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adverselyaffected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors andofficers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Item17. Undertakings.

 

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)

To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

 

 

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(iv)

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

 

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(b)

That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(c)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(2)

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
