ITEM A — SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

AMMO, INC.

SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Subscription Booklet and related Exhibits. Although this Subscription Booklet may provide potential subscribers with some references to subject headings, the information appearing under those headings is not necessarily a complete or exclusive discussion or description of that subject. References in this Subscription Booklet to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” and words of similar import refer to AMMO, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

An investment in the securities offered hereby involves a high degree of risk. Prospective subscribers are urged to read this Subscription Booklet and Exhibits carefully and in their entirety including the risk factors set forth in Exhibit G.

The Company:	AMMO, Inc.
Offering:	Units (the “Units” and each a “Unit”) consisting of (i) an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $100,000 (each a “Note” and collectively the “Notes”) of the Company that matures nine months after issuance, and (ii) a five-year warrant (each a “Warrant” and collectively the “Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”).
Amount of the Offering:	A minimum of $1,000,000 (the “Minimum Amount”) and up to $2,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”) from accredited investors and/or non-U.S. persons to be identified by the Company, at a purchase price of $100,000 per Unit.
Notes:	The principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on the Notes will automatically convert into the securities issued in the Qualified Financing of the Company upon the closing of a Qualified Financing (as defined below) at a per share conversion price equal to 66.7% of the per share purchase price of shares or other units in the Qualified Financing (the “Conversion Price”). As used herein, “Qualified Financing” means the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of Shares or Units consisting of Shares and warrants to purchase Shares which results in gross proceeds of not less than $7.5 million and the Shares being traded on a national securities exchange. The Notes mature on the nine month anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Maturity Date”). If a Qualified Financing has not occurred on or before the Maturity Date, the Conversion Price is 50.0% of the arithmetic mean of the VWAP in the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
Warrants:	Each investor shall be issued a Warrant to purchase Shares of the Company at a per share exercise price equal to (a) if a Qualified Financing has occurred on or before nine months after the Original Issue Date, at the per share or per unit purchase price in the Qualified Financing or (b) if a Qualified Financing has not occurred on or before nine months after the Original Issue Date, the closing ten day VWAP in the ten trading days immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The number of Shares issuable upon exercise of each Warrant shall be an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 50% of the principal amount of the Notes by the Conversion Price of the Notes which price shall not be known until the Maturity Date. The Warrants contain an anti-dilution protection feature, to adjust the exercise price if shares are sold or issued for a consideration per share less than the exercise price then in effect (subject to certain exemptions).

Lock-Up Agreement:	As a condition of the offering, each purchaser is required to execute a lock-up agreement. During the applicable lock-up period, purchasers may not offer for sale, contract to sell, sell, distribute, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes or upon exercise of the warrants until the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date of the Notes and (ii) 120 days following the date of the closing of the Qualified Financing.

Resale Registration Statement:	The Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-1 within 30 days of the closing of the offering registering for resale the shares issuable upon conversion of the notes and upon exercise of the warrants. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to become effective within 90 days following the closing date (or 120 days in the event of a “full review” by the SEC) and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until no purchaser owns any warrants or warrant shares issuable upon exercise thereof.
Minimum Subscription:	The minimum subscription amount per subscriber is $100,000; provided that the Company may accept subscriptions for the Units in lesser amounts in its sole discretion.
Placement Agent:	The Units are being offered to U.S. investors on our behalf by Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”), and we have agreed to pay a cash fee of eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds raised from the sale of the Units in the Offering and issue with it five (5)-year warrants to purchase such number of shares equal to five percent (5%) of the Shares underlying the Notes and the Warrants, at an exercise price equal to 125% of the Conversion Price of the Notes which price shall not be known until the Maturity Date.
Closings:	The Company may, in its discretion at any time prior to January 15, 2020 which period may be extended by the Company and the Placement Agent, in their mutual discretion and without prior notice to investors, hold an initial closing for the Minimum Amount (“Initial Closing”) and, at any time and from time to time after the Initial Closing, may hold subsequent closings (each such closing, including the Initial Closing, a “Closing,” and the final such Closing, the “Final Closing”), in each case, with respect to any Units for which subscriptions have been accepted prior to such date.
Escrow Account:	The subscription amounts will be placed in a non-interest bearing escrow account established by us and the Placement Agent with a third party. Upon, and following, the completion of the Initial Closing and prior to January 15, 2020, which period may be extended by AMMO, Inc. and the Placement Agent, in our mutual discretion, to a date not later than January 30, 2020, the Company will be permitted to access these escrowed funds.

Investors:	Sales of the Units will be made only to “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in an offering intended to be exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or to “non-U.S. persons,” as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act.
Expenses:	The Company and each investor shall be responsible for their own expenses.
Subscription Requirements:	An investor must deliver to the Company: (i) a signed Subscription Agreement; (ii) the completed applicable Confidential Subscriber Questionnaire; (iii) the completed Tax Certification for U.S. Persons and Non-U.S. Persons; (iv)the purchase price for the Units to the Company; and (v) the executed Lock-Up Agreement.
Use of Proceeds:	The proceeds of this bridge financing will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes and to pay a portion of the outstanding Jageman Note, in its discretion.
Shares Outstanding:	As of November 14, 2019, there were 45,766,128 Shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding.
Confidentiality:	Subject to required disclosure to governmental agencies and other disclosure required as a matter of law, the existence of the Subscription Booklet, the identity of the subscribers, the provisions contained herein, as well as the discussions between the parties hereto and their respective agents, will be held in confidence by the parties hereto and their agents and representatives, and they will provide such information only to those parties with a need to know of the existence of this Summary of the Offering and the provisions herein (such receiving parties to be similarly subject to confidential agreements or duties).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This summary highlights certain information with respect to the Company contained elsewhere in this Subscription Booklet. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before purchasing securities. You should read this entire offering carefully, including the information under the heading “Risk Factors,” before investing in the securities.

Corporate History

We were formed under the name Retrospettiva, Inc. in November 1990 to manufacture and import textile products, including both finished garments and fabrics, but ceased operations in 2001. We were inactive from 2001 until following a series of events starting in December 2016. On December 15, 2016, our then principal stockholders sold their outstanding Common Stock to Fred W. Wagenhals, who is our Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, and largest stockholder. On the same date, Mr. Wagenhals became the sole officer and director of our company. As of December 30, 2016, we changed our trading symbol to POWW; we changed our state of incorporation from California to Delaware; we engaged in a 1-for-25 reverse stock split; and we commenced our current business as AMMO, Inc.

Our principal stockholder, Fred Wagenhals, had organized another company on October 13, 2016, which immediately began to take steps to commence the ammunition business. We combined with that company in March 2017, resulting in our acquisition of all the shares of its common stock for 17,285,800 shares of our Common Stock and our succession to its business.

We entered into licensing an endorsement agreement with Jesse James, a well-known motorcycle and gun designer, in October 2016, and a license and endorsement agreement with Jeff Rann, a well- known wild game hunter, guide, and spokesman for the firearm and ammunition industry, in February 2017; received a federal firearms license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Explosives in February 2017; purchased an ammunition manufacturing facility in Payson, Arizona in March 2017; and built a management team and otherwise prepared ourself to participate in the ammunition industry.

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

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

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

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

Corporate Structure

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

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

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

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

Overview

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our Business

We are a designer, producer, and marketer of performance-driven, high-quality ammunition and ammunition component products for sale to a variety of consumers, including sport and recreational shooters, hunters, individuals seeking home or personal protection, manufacturers, and law enforcement and military agencies. To enhance the strength of our brands and drive product demand, we emphasize product innovation and technology to improve the performance, quality, and affordability of our products while providing support to our distribution channel and consumers. We seek to sell products at competitive prices that compete with high-end, custom, hand-loaded ammunition. Additionally, through our acquisition of Jagemann Stamping Company’s ammunition casing manufacturing and sales operations (“Jagemann Casings”) we are now able to sell ammunition casings products of various types. We emphasize an American heritage by using predominantly American-made components and raw materials in our products that are produced, inspected, and packaged at our facilities in Payson, Arizona and Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

Our production processes focus on safety, consistency, precision, and cleanliness. Each round is developed for a specific purpose with a focus on a proper mix of consistency, velocity, accuracy, and recoil. Each round is chamber gauged and inspected with redundant seven-step quality control processes.

Competition

The ammunition and ammunition casing industry is dominated by a small number of companies, a number of which are divisions of large public companies. We compete primarily on the quality, reliability, features, performance, brand awareness, and price of our products. Our primary competitors include Federal Premium Ammunition, Remington Arms, the Winchester Ammunition division of Olin Corporation, and various smaller manufacturers and suppliers, including Black-Hills Ammunition, CBC Group, Fiocchi Ammunition, Hornady Manufacturing Company, PMC, Rio Ammunition, and Wolf.

Our Growth Strategy

Our goal is to enhance our position as a designer, producer, and marketer of ammunition products. Key elements of our strategy to achieve this goal are as follows:

Design, Produce, and Market Innovative, Distinctive, Performance-Driven, High-Quality Ammunition and Ammunition Components

We are focused on designing, producing, and marketing innovative, distinctive, performance-driven, high-quality products that appeal to retailers, manufacturers, and consumers that will enhance our users’ shooting experiences. Our ongoing research and development activities; our safe, consistent, precision, and clean production processes; and our multi-faceted marketing programs are critical to our success.

Continue to Strengthen Relationships with Channel Partners and Retailers.

We continue to strive to strengthen our relationships with our current distributors, dealers, manufacturers and mass market and specialty retailers and to attract additional distributors, dealers, retailers. The success of our efforts depends on the innovation, distinctive features, quality, and performance of our products; the attractiveness of our packaging; the effectiveness of our marketing and merchandising programs; and the effectiveness of our customer support.

Emphasis on Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty

We plan to continue to emphasize customer satisfaction and loyalty by offering innovative, distinctive, high-quality products on a timely and cost-attractive basis and by offering effective customer service, training, and support. We regard the features, quality, and performance of our products as the most important components of our customer satisfaction and loyalty efforts, but we also rely on customer service and support.

Continuously Improving Operations

We plan to continue focusing on improving all aspects of our business, including research and development, component sourcing, production processes, marketing programs, and customer support. 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 increased overall efficiency.

Enhance Market Share, Brand Recognition, and Customer Loyalty

We strive to enhance our market share, brand recognition, and customer loyalty. Industry sources estimate that 70 million to 80 million people in the United States own more than approximately 300 million firearms, creating a large installed base for our ammunition products. We are focusing on the premium segment of the market through the quality, distinctiveness, and performance of our products; the effectiveness of our marketing and merchandising efforts; and the attractiveness of our competitive pricing strategies.

Pursue Synergetic Strategic Acquisitions and Relationships

We intend to pursue strategic acquisitions and develop strategic relationships designed to enable us to expand our technology and knowhow, expand our product offerings, strengthen and expand our supply chain, enhance our production process, expand our marketing and distribution, and attract new customers.

Research and Development

We conduct research and development activities to enhance existing products and develop new products at our facilities in Payson, Arizona, Scottsdale, Arizona and Manitowoc, Wisconsin, utilizing our personnel and strategic relationships. We have recently expanded our research and development activity at our Scottsdale facility. We expense all costs associated with our research and development efforts through either our cost of goods sold, as they are performed by the same employees who produce our finished product, or through or general and administrative expenses if the product has not been brought to market.

Intellectual property

We believe our tradenames, trademarks, and service markets are important factors in distinguishing our products. In addition, we regard our trade secrets, technological resources, knowhow, licensing arrangements, and endorsements as important competitive factors.

Included in an acquisition for 600,000 shares of our Common Stock and $200,000 paid in cash to the former license holder, we acquired the exclusive license to produce ammunition using the patented “hybrid luminescence technology” owned by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette through October 29, 2028. We use that technology in connection with our STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™.

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

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

Through our acquisition of SW Kenectics, Inc., we acquired the rights to a patent for modular projectiles. This technology is used in connection with our TAC-P line of ammunition. The Company acquired SW Kenectics, Inc. for a total of up to $1,500,000 in cash and issued 1,700,002 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The agreement specifies that $1,250,000 of the cash is deferred pending completion of specific milestones and the 1,700,002 shares of common stock are subject to claw back provisions to ensure agreed upon objective are met. The patent will be amortized over 15 years.

Included in the acquisition of Jagemann Stamping Company’s casing division for $7,000,000 in cash, $10,400,000 delivered in the form of a Promissory Note, and 4,750,000 shares of our Common Stock, we acquired customer relationships, intellectual property, and the use of a tradename, which will be amortized over 3 years, 3 years and 5 years, respectively. These intangible assets are used in the operation and production of our ammunition casing business through our wholly owned subsidiary, Jagemann Munition Components.

The manufacture, sale, and purchase of ammunition are subject to extensive federal, state, local, and foreign governmental laws. We are also subject to the rules and regulations of the ATF and various state and international agencies that control the manufacture, export, import, distribution and sale of firearms, explosives, and ammunition. Such regulations may adversely affect demand for our products by imposing limitations that increase the costs or limit the availability of our products.

Our failure to comply with applicable rules and regulations may result in the limitation of our growth or business activities and could result in the revocation of licenses necessary for our business. Applicable laws and regulations provide for the following:

	●	require the licensing of all persons manufacturing, exporting, importing, or selling ammunition as a business;

	●	require serialization, labeling, and tracking of the acquisition and disposition of certain types of ammunition;

	●	regulate the interstate sale of certain ammunition;

	●	restrict or prohibit the ownership, use, or sale of specified categories of ammunition;

	●	require registries of so-called “ballistic images” of ammunition fired from new guns;

	●	govern the sale, export, and distribution of ammunition;

	●	regulate the use and storage of gun powder or other energetic materials;

	●	regulate the employment of personnel with certain criminal convictions;

	●	restrict access to ammunition manufacturing facilities for certain individuals from other countries or with criminal convictions; and

	●	require compliance with ITAR.

The handling of our technical data and the international sale of our products may also be regulated by the U.S. Department of State and Department of Commerce. These agencies can impose civil and criminal penalties, including denying us from exporting our products, for failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

In addition, bills have been introduced in Congress to establish, and to consider the feasibility of establishing a nationwide database recording so-called “ballistic images” of ammunition fired from new guns. Should such a mandatory database be established, the cost to us, our distributors, and our customers could be significant, depending on the type of firearms and ballistic information included in the database. Bills have been introduced in Congress in the past several years that would affect the manufacture and sale of ammunition, including bills to regulate the manufacture, importation, and sale.

We believe that existing federal, state, and local legislation relating to the regulation of firearms and ammunition have not had a material adverse effect on our sales of these products. However, the regulation of firearms and ammunition may become more restrictive in the future, and any such developments might have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows. In addition, regulatory proposals, even if never enacted, may affect firearms or ammunition sales as a result of consumer perceptions.

Suppliers

We purchase certain of the raw materials and components for our ammunition products, including brass, steel, or copper casings; ammunition primers to ignite gun powder; gun powder; and projectiles. We believe we have reliable sources of supply for all our raw material and component needs, but from time to time raw materials and components are subject to shortages and price increases. Most of our suppliers are U.S.-based and provide us the materials and components at competitive rates. We recently secured our supply of ammunition casings through our acquisition of Jagemann Casings. We plan to broaden our supplier base and secure multiple sources for all the raw materials and components we require.

Marketing

We market our products to consumers through distributors, dealers, mass market and specialty retailers, and direct to consumer through e-commerce. We maintain consumer-focused product marketing and promotional campaigns, which include print and digital 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 Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and You Tube. We also utilize third-party endorsements, social influencers, and brand ambassadors, such as Jesse James, and Jeff Rann.

The Units are being sold in the Offering (as defined below) as more fully described in the Executive Overview. This Subscription Agreement is one in a series of similar subscription agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) entered into pursuant to the Offering.

2. Acceptance of Subscription. The Company may, in its discretion at any time prior to the Termination Date, hold an initial closing for the Minimum Amount (“Initial Closing”) and, at any time and from time to time after the Initial Closing, may hold subsequent closings (each such closing, including the Initial Closing, a “Closing,” and the final such Closing, the “Final Closing”), in each case, with respect to any Units for which subscriptions have been accepted prior to such date. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole discretion, has the right to accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason, and that this subscription shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when it is signed by an authorized signatory on its behalf. The Subscriber agrees that subscriptions need not be accepted in the order they are received by the Company. Upon rejection of this Subscription Agreement for any reason, including but not limited to if the Initial Closing does not occur prior to the Termination Date or the aggregate subscription amount owed with respect to the Units purchased by the Subscriber pursuant hereto is received after the Final Closing, all funds received with this Subscription Agreement will be returned to the Subscriber without deduction for any fee, commission or expense and without interest with respect to any money received, and this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to be null and void and of no further force or effect. If this subscription is rejected in part, the funds for the rejected portion of this subscription will be returned without interest or offset, and this Subscription Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.

3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Subscriber. The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with the Company as follows:

(a) The Subscriber is an (i) “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and (ii) Confidential Subscriber Questionnaire (Entities) (collectively each a “Confidential Subscriber Questionnaire”), as annexed hereto as Items E and EE, is complete, accurate and true in all respects;

(b) Prior to executing this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber acknowledges that he (i) has received, read and is familiar with the Executive Overview and recognizes that the Company has a limited operating history and that an investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk and (ii) has carefully read and considered the matters set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Executive Overview, and, in particular, acknowledges that the Company engages in a highly competitive business, is a development stage company with no significant operating history to date and has limited assets;

(c) The Subscriber has been advised that there will be no market for the investment made in the Company and it may not be possible to readily liquidate this investment. The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to his net worth; his investment in the Company will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive; and he can afford to bear the loss of his entire investment in the Company;

(d) The Subscriber has adequate means of providing for his current needs and personal contingencies and has no need for liquidity in his investment in the securities comprising the Units for an indefinite period of time;

(e) The Subscriber satisfies any special suitability or other applicable requirements of his state of residence and/or the state in which the transaction by which the Units are purchased occurs;

(f) The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto, or the Subscriber has employed the services of an investment advisor, attorney or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to him and all other prospective investors in the Units and to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Subscriber’s behalf;

(g) The Subscriber confirms that the Company has made available to Subscriber the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Offering of the Units, the Company and the Company’s business, as described in the Executive Overview, and otherwise to obtain any additional information, to the extent that the Company possess such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information contained in the Executive Overview. In considering its investment in the Company, the Subscriber has not relied upon any representations made by, or other information (whether oral or written) furnished by or on behalf of, the Company, the Placement Agent, or any director, officer, stockholder, partner, employee, agent, member, or counsel, or any representative or affiliate of any of the foregoing, other than as expressly set forth in the Executive Overview and this Subscription Agreement;

(h) If the Subscriber is an entity: (i) such entity was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Units, (ii) such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, (iii) its decision to invest in the Company was made in a centralized fashion (e.g. by a board of directors, general partner, manager, trustee, investment committee or similar governing or managing body); (iv) it is not managed to facilitate the investment decisions of its beneficial owners regarding investments (including an investment in the Company); and (vi) its shareholders, partners, members or beneficiaries, as applicable, did not and will not (x) contribute additional capital for the purpose of acquiring the Units (y) have any discretion to determine whether or how much of the Subscriber’s assets are being invested in any investment made by the Subscriber (including the Subscriber’s investment in the Company), or (z) have the ability to individually elect whether or to what extent such shareholder, partner, member or beneficiary, as applicable, will participate in the Subscriber’s investment in the Company;

(i) The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Subscriber has been advised that this offering has not been registered with, or reviewed by, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) because this offering is intended to be a non-public offering pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D as promulgated thereunder. The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber’s Units are being purchased for the Subscriber’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view for distribution or resale to others. The Subscriber agrees that the Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer the securities comprising the Units or the Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “Note and Warrant Shares”) unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company an exemption from such registration is available. The Subscriber understands that the securities comprising the Units and the Note and Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, in part, upon the Subscriber’s investment intention and the Subscriber’s representations, warranties and agreements contained herein. In this connection, the Subscriber understands that it is the position of the SEC that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if the Subscriber’s representation merely meant that the Subscriber’s present intention was to hold such Units for a short period, such as the capital gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale or for any other fixed period. The Subscriber realizes that the SEC might regard a purchase with an intent inconsistent with the Subscriber’s representation to the Company, and a sale or disposition thereof, as a deferred sale to which the exemption is not available;

(j) The Subscriber understands that neither the SEC nor the securities administrator of any state has made any finding or determination relating to the fairness of this investment and that neither the SEC nor the securities administrator of any state has recommended or endorsed, or will recommend or endorse, the offering of the Units, nor have any of them reviewed or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Executive Overview;

(k) The execution, delivery and performance by the Subscriber of the Subscription Agreement are within the powers of the Subscriber, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under, or conflict with, any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which the Subscriber is a party or by which the Subscriber is bound; and, if the Subscriber is not an individual, will not violate any provision of the charter documents, by-laws, indenture of trust, operating agreement or partnership agreement, as applicable, of the Subscriber. The signatures on the Subscription Agreement are genuine; and the signatory, if the Subscriber is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same, or, if the Subscriber is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same; and the Subscription Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with its terms;

(l) The Subscriber is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the Offering of the Units through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the Internet (including, without limitation, internet “blogs,” bulletin boards, discussion groups and social networking sites) in connection with the Offering and sale of the Units and is not subscribing for the Units and did not become aware of the Offering of the Units through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Subscriber was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Subscriber in connection with investments in securities generally.

(m) The Subscriber has relied solely upon the advice of his own tax and legal advisors with respect to the tax and other legal aspects of this investment;

(n) The Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Subscription Agreement and the Subscriber’s Confidential Subscriber Questionnaire and the Company is hereby given authority by the Subscriber to call the Subscriber’s bank or place of employment or otherwise investigate or review the financial standing of the Subscriber; and it is further agreed that the Company reserves the unrestricted right to reject or limit any subscription and to terminate the offer at any time;

(o) The Subscriber understands that by reason of the Company’s obligation to pay certain fees and expenses of the Offering, as described in the Executive Overview not all of the gross proceeds of the Offering will be available for use by the Company;

(p) The Subscriber is not (i) a retirement plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, another plan that is not subject to ERISA or any participant and beneficiary of any of the foregoing, (ii) an individual retirement account or its beneficial owner, or (iii) a fiduciary of any of the foregoing plans or individual retirement accounts.

(q) The Subscriber is not aware that any person, and has been advised that no person (other than the Placement Agent), will receive from the Company any compensation as a broker, finder, adviser or in any other capacity in connection with the purchase of Units and the Subscriber has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than commissions to be paid by the Company to the Placement Agent or as otherwise described in the Executive Overview);

(r) By executing and delivering this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber covenants to the Company that, except with the prior written permission of the Company, he shall at all times keep confidential and not divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone any information contained in the Executive Overview, including the exhibits and attachments thereto. The provisions of this Paragraph 3(q) shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, the provisions of any separate nondisclosure agreement executed by the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby;

(s) The Subscriber acknowledges that Signature Bank is acting solely as Escrow Agent in connection with the offering of the Units and makes no recommendation with respect thereto. Signature Bank has made no investigation regarding the Offering, the Company or any other person or entity involved in the Offering;

(t) The Subscriber acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in the Executive Overview were prepared by the Company in good faith but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company and should not be relied upon;

(u) The Subscriber’s substantive relationship with the Placement Agent or subagent through which the Subscriber is subscribing for Units predates the Placement Agents or such subagents contact with the Subscriber regarding an investment in Units;

(v) SUBSCRIBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED, DISAPPROVED OR RECOMMENDED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL;

(w) The Subscriber should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac> before making the following representations. The Subscriber represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene U.S. Federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. U.S. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals.¹ The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac>. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit dealing with individuals or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists;

(x) The Subscriber represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, none of: (1) the Subscriber; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Subscriber; (3) if the Subscriber is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Subscriber; or (4) any person for whom the Subscriber is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a country, territory, individual or entity named on an OFAC list, or a person or entity prohibited under the OFAC Programs. Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such investor cannot make the representation set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company should the Subscriber become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Subscriber is advised that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Subscriber, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Subscriber, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations, and the Company may also be required to report such action and to disclose the Subscriber’s identity to OFAC. The Subscriber further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Subscriber, suspend the redemption rights (if any) of the Subscriber if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs;

(y) The Subscriber represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, none of: (1) the Subscriber; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Subscriber; (3) if the Subscriber is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Subscriber; or (4) any person for whom the Subscriber is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a senior foreign political figure,² or any immediate family member³ or close associate⁴ of a senior foreign political figure, as such terms are defined in the footnotes below;

¹These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.

(z) If the Subscriber is affiliated with a non-U.S. banking institution (a “Foreign Bank”), or if the Subscriber receives deposits from, makes payments on behalf of, or handles other financial transactions related to a Foreign Bank, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company that: (1) the Foreign Bank has a fixed address, other than solely an electronic address, in a country in which the Foreign Bank is authorized to conduct banking activities; (2) the Foreign Bank maintains operating records related to its banking activities; (3) the Foreign Bank is subject to inspection by the banking authority that licensed the Foreign Bank to conduct banking activities; and (4) the Foreign Bank does not provide banking services to any other Foreign Bank that does not have a physical presence in any country and that is not a regulated affiliate;

(aa) (For Residents of All States) The Subscriber acknowledges that the Units, Notes and the Warrants have not been recommended by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. In making an investment decision investors must rely on their own examination of the Company and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The Units, the Notes, the Warrants and the Note and Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Notes and Warrants, respectively, are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act, and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. Subscribers should be aware that they will be required to bear the financial risks of this investment for an indefinite period of time, including a complete loss of capital; and

The foregoing representations and warranties are true and accurate as of the date hereof, shall be true and accurate as of the date of delivery of this Subscription Agreement and accompanying documents to the Company and shall survive such delivery. If, in any respect, those representations and warranties shall not be true and accurate prior to delivery of the payment of the purchase price of the Units, the undersigned shall immediately give written notice to the Company specifying which representations and warranties are not true and accurate and the reason therefor. In addition, the Subscriber agrees to notify the Company immediately in writing if the Subscriber ceases to be an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Until the Subscriber provides a notice described in the preceding two sentences, the Company may rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein in connection with any matter related to the Company. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Company may assume that all such representations and warranties are correct in all respects as of the date hereof and may rely on such representations and warranties in determining whether (i) the Subscriber is suitable as a purchaser of Units, (ii) Units may be sold to the Subscriber or any other Subscriber without first registering the Units under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws, (iii) the conditions to the acceptance of subscriptions for Units have been satisfied, and (iv) the Subscriber meets the eligibility standards set by the Company.

²A “senior foreign political figure” is defined as a current or former senior official in the executive, legislative, administrative, military or judicial branches of a foreign government (whether elected or not), a senior official of a major foreign political party, or a senior executive of a foreign government-owned commercial enterprise. In addition, a “senior foreign political figure” includes any corporation, business or other entity that has been formed by, or for the benefit of, a senior foreign political figure.

³“Immediate family” of a senior foreign political figure typically includes the figure’s parents, siblings, spouse, children and a spouses’ parents and siblings.

⁴A “close associate” of a senior foreign political figure is a person who is widely and publicly known (or is actually known by the relevant covered financial institution) to maintain an unusually close relationship with the senior foreign political figure, and includes a person who is in a position to conduct substantial domestic and international financial transactions on behalf of the senior foreign political figure.

(f) There is no judicial, regulatory, arbitral or other legal or governmental proceeding or other litigation or arbitration, domestic or foreign, pending to which the Company, any Subsidiary, or any of its officers or directors is a party or of which any property, operations or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary is the subject which, individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to the Company or any Subsidiary, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and to the Company’s knowledge, no such proceeding, litigation or arbitration is threatened or contemplated. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, directives, judgments, decrees and orders, foreign and domestic, except for any non-compliance the consequences of which would not have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) (“Affiliates”) has received any notice or other information from any regulatory or other legal or governmental agency which could reasonably be expected to result in any material default or potential decertification by the Company, or any of its Affiliates.

(nn) Neither the Company, any of the Subsidiaries nor any of its properties or assets has any immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment to prior judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) under the laws of the United States.

(oo) The capitalization of the Company is as set forth on Schedule 4(oo).

(pp) The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as the board of directors of the Company has determined, in their good faith business judgment, to be necessary or prudent, including, but not limited to, customary directors and officers insurance coverage at least equal to the aggregate Subscription Amount. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.

(qq) The Company and the board of directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to the subscribers as a result of the subscribers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under this Subscription Agreement and the Other Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Securities and the subscribers’ ownership of the Securities.

The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one (1) year from closing of this Subscription Agreement.

The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to the subscribers a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.

(vv) The Company will notify the subscribers in writing, prior to the closing of this Subscription Agreement of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, reasonably be expected to become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person, in each case of which it is aware.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

The USA PATRIOT Act

What is money laundering?

How big is the problem and why is it important?

The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.

To help you understand these efforts, the Placement Agent wants to provide you with some information about money laundering and its steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.

Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities, Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.

The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.

As part of the Placement Agent’s required program, it may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents the Placement Agent needs, it may not be able to effect any transactions for you.

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?

Under rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, the Placement Agent’s anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with such laws.

[ATTACH FORM OF W-9]

ITEM G - RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors, among others, could in the future affect our actual results of operations and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by us. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and we assume no obligation to update this information. Before you decide to buy, hold, or sell our Shares, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained elsewhere in this Subscription Booklet. The following risk factors are not the only risk factors facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business. Our business, financial condition and results of operation could be seriously harmed if any of the events underlying any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs. In that event, the price for our Shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

RISK FACTORS

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

We have a limited operating history on which you can evaluate our company. Although the corporate entity has existed since 1990, we have only operated as an ammunition manufacturer since March 2017. As a result, our business will be subject to many of the problems, expenses, delays, and risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.

Our performance is influenced by a variety of economic, social, and political factors.

Our performance is influenced by a variety of economic, social, and political factors. General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns 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 discretionary items and adversely affect the demand for our products. In times of economic uncertainty, consumers tend to defer expenditures for discretionary items, which affects demand for our products. Any substantial deterioration in general economic conditions that diminish consumer confidence or discretionary income could reduce our sales and adversely affect our operating results. Economic conditions also affect governmental political 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.

Political and other factors also can affect our performance. Concerns about presidential, congressional, and state elections and legislature and policy shifts resulting from those elections can affect the demand for our products. In addition, speculation surrounding control of firearms, firearm products, and ammunition 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.

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

Our success depends upon our ability to introduce new products that match customer preferences.

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

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

Our future success depends upon our proprietary technology. Our protective measures, including patent and trade secret protection, may prove inadequate to protect our proprietary rights. The right to stop others from misusing our trademarks, service marks, and patents in commerce depends to some extent on our ability to show evidence of enforcement of our rights against such misuse in commerce. Our efforts to stop improper use, if insufficient, may lead to loss of trademark and service mark rights, brand loyalty, and notoriety among our customers and prospective customers. The scope of any patent that we have or may obtain may not prevent others from developing and selling competing products. The validity and breadth of claims covered in technology patents involve complex legal and factual questions, and the resolution of such claims may be highly uncertain, and expensive. In addition, our patents may be held invalid upon challenge, or others may claim rights in or ownership of our patents.

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which could cause us to incur litigation costs and divert management attention from our business.

Any intellectual property infringement claims against us, with or without merit, could be costly and time-consuming to defend and divert our management’s attention from our business. If our products were found to infringe a third party’s proprietary rights, we could be required to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements to be able to sell our products. Royalty and licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Our efforts to avoid the patent, trademark, and copyright rights of others may not provide notice to us of potential infringements in time to avoid investing in product development and promotion that must later be abandoned if suitable license terms cannot be reached.

There is no guarantee that our use of conventional technology searching and brand clearance searching will identify all potential rights holders. Rights holders may demand payment for past infringements and/or force us to accept costly license terms or discontinue use of protected technology and/or works of authorship that may include for example photos, videos, and software.

We depend on the sale of our ammunition products.

We manufacture ammunition and ammunition casings for sale to a wide variety of consumers, including gun enthusiasts, collectors, hunters, sportsmen, competitive shooters, individuals desiring home and personal protection, manufacturers, law enforcement and security agencies and officers in the United States and throughout the world. The sale of ammunition and ammunition components is influenced by the sale and usage of firearms. As noted above, sales of firearms are influenced by a variety of economic, social, and political factors, which may result in volatile sales. Ammunition sales represented a substantial amount of our net sales for the year ended March 31, 2019, the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017.

Our manufacturing facilities are critical to our success.

Our Arizona and Wisconsin manufacturing facilities are critical to our success, as we currently produce all of our products at these facilities. The facilities also house our principal research, development, engineering, and design functions.

Any event that causes a disruption of the operations of these facilities for even a relatively short period of time would adversely affect our ability to produce and ship our products and to provide service to our customers. We make certain changes in our manufacturing operations from time to time to enhance the facilities and associated equipment and systems and to introduce certain efficiencies in manufacturing and other processes to produce our products in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant capital and other expenditures with respect to these facilities, but we may not be successful in continuing to improve efficiencies.

To the extent demand for our products increase, our future success will depend upon our ability to enhance manufacturing production capacity.

We intend to continue marketing our ammunition products. To the extent demand for our products increase significantly in future periods, one of our key challenges will be to enhance production capacity to meet sales demand, while maintaining product quality. Our inability to meet any future increase in sales demand or access capital for inventory may hinder growth, or increase dilution in connection with financing activities conducted to meet any such increase in sales demand.

Shortages of components and materials may delay or reduce our sales and increase our costs, thereby harming our results of operations.

The inability to obtain sufficient quantities of raw materials and components, including casings, primers, gun powder, projectiles, and brass necessary for the production of our products could result in reduced or delayed sales or lost orders. Any delay in or loss of sales or orders could adversely impact our operating results. Many of the materials used in the production of our products are available only from a limited number of suppliers. We do not have long-term supply contracts with any suppliers. As a result, we could be subject to increased costs, supply interruptions, and difficulties in obtaining raw materials and components.

Our reliance 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 portion of their total orders. As a result, they may not give priority to our business, leading to potential delays in or cancellation of our orders. A disruption in deliveries from our third-party suppliers, capacity constraints, production disruptions, price increases, or decreased availability of raw materials or commodities could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our commitments to customers or increase our operating costs. Quality issues experienced by third party suppliers can also adversely affect the quality and effectiveness of our products and result in liability and reputational harm.

We rely on third-party suppliers for most of our manufacturing equipment.

We also rely on third-party suppliers for most of the manufacturing equipment necessary to produce our products. The failure of suppliers to supply manufacturing equipment in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms could delay our plans to expand our business and otherwise disrupt our production schedules and increase our manufacturing costs. Our orders with certain of our suppliers may represent a very small portion of their total orders. As a result, they may not give priority to our business, leading to potential delays in or cancellation of our orders. If any single-source supplier were to fail to supply our needs on a timely basis or cease providing us manufacturing equipment or components, we would be required to locate and contract with substitute suppliers. We may have difficulty identifying a substitute supplier in a timely manner and on commercially reasonable terms. If this were to occur, our business would be harmed.

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

Our customers 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 customer purchase orders could result in reduced sales, excess inventory, unabsorbed overhead, and reduced income from operations.

We often schedule internal production levels and place orders for raw materials and components with third party suppliers before receiving firm orders from our customers. Therefore, if we fail to accurately forecast customer demand, we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of products to deliver to our customers. Factors that could affect our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products include the 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;

	●	weak economic conditions or consumer confidence, which could reduce demand for discretionary items, such as our products; and

	●	the domestic political environment, including debate over the regulation of firearms, ammunition, and related products.

Inventory levels in excess of consumer demand may result in inventory write-downs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. If we underestimate demand for our products, our manufacturing facilities or third-party suppliers may not be able to react quickly enough to meet consumer demand, resulting in delays in the shipment of products and lost revenue, and damage to our reputation and customer and consumer relationships. We may not be able to manage inventory levels successfully to meet future order and reorder requirements.

Our revenue depends primarily on sales by various retailers and distributors, some of which account for a significant portion of our sales.

Our revenue depends on our sales through various leading national and regional retailers, local specialty firearms stores, and online merchants. The U.S. retail industry serving the outdoor recreation market has become relatively concentrated. Our sales could become increasingly dependent on purchases by several large retail customers. Consolidation in the retail industry could also adversely affect our business. If our sales were to become increasingly dependent on business with several large retailers, we could be adversely affected by the loss or a significant decline in sales to one or more of these customers. In addition, our dependence on a smaller group of retailers could result in their increased bargaining position and pressures on the prices we charge.

The loss of any one or more of our retail customers or significant or numerous cancellations, reductions, delays in purchases or changes in business practices by our retail customers could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

These sales channels involve a number of special risks, including the following:

	●	we may be unable to secure and maintain favorable relationships with retailers and distributors;

	●	we may be unable to control the timing of delivery of our products to end-user consumers;

	●	our retailers and distributors are not subject to minimum sales requirements or any obligation to market our products to their customers;

	●	our retailers and distributors may terminate their relationships with us at any time; and

	●	our retailers and distributors market and distribute competing products.

We have three customers that accounted for approximately 54% of our net sales for the year ended March 31, 2019 and three customers that accounted for 68% of our net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. At December 31, 2017, 58% of our net sales resulted from one customer. Although we intend to expand our customer base, our revenue would likely decline if we lost any major customers or if one of these sizable customers were to significantly reduce its orders for any reason. Because our sales are made by means of standard purchase orders rather than long-term contracts, we cannot assure you that our customers will continue to purchase our products at current levels, or at all.

In addition, periods of sluggish economies and consumer uncertainty regarding future economic prospects in our key markets can have an adverse effect on the financial health of our customers, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We extend credit to our customers for periods of varying duration based on an assessment of the customer’s financial condition, generally without requiring collateral, which increases our exposure to the risk of uncollectable receivables. In addition, we face increased risk of order reduction or cancellation when dealing with financially ailing retailers or retailers struggling with economic uncertainty. We may reduce our level of business with customers and distributors experiencing financial difficulties and may not be able to replace that business with other customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

An inability to expand our E-commerce business could reduce our future growth.

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

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

Our gross margins depend upon our sales mix.

Our gross margin is higher when our sales mix is skewed toward our higher-margin proprietary product lines versus a lower contribution from mid-market ammunition that we also manufacture. If our actual sales mix results in a lower overall percentage from our proprietary lines, our gross margins will be reduced, affecting our results of operations.

We may have difficulty collecting amounts owed to us.

Certain of our customers may experience business challenges and credit-related issues. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of customers, but these evaluations may not be completely effective. We grant payment terms to most customers ranging from 30 to 90 days and do not generally require collateral. Should more customers than we anticipate experience liquidity issues, or if payments are not received on a timely basis, we may have difficulty collecting amounts owed to us by such customers and our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely impacted. Retail consolidation could result in more concentrated credit-related risks.

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

We operate in intensely competitive markets that are characterized by price erosion and competition from major domestic and international companies. Competition in the markets in which we operate is based on a number of factors, including price, quality, product innovation, 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.

Our competitors include Federal Premium Ammunition, Remington Arms, the Winchester Ammunition Division of Olin Corporation, and various smaller manufacturers and importers, including Black Hills Ammunition, CBC Group, Fiocchi Ammunition, Hornady, PMC, Rio Ammunition, and Wolf. Most of our competitors have greater market recognition, larger customer bases, long-term government contracts, and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, and other resources than we possess and that afford them competitive advantages. As a result, they may be able to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of products, to invest more funds in intellectual property and product development, to negotiate lower prices for raw materials and components, to deliver competitive products at lower prices, and to introduce new products and respond to consumer requirements more quickly than we can.

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

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

Our ability 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 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.

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

Seasonality and weather conditions may cause our operating results to vary from quarter to quarter.

Because many of our products are used for seasonal outdoor sporting activities, our operating results may be significantly impacted by unseasonable weather conditions. Accordingly, our operating results could suffer when weather patterns do not conform to seasonal norms.

Shipments of ammunition for hunting are highest during the months of June through September to meet consumer demand for the fall hunting season and holidays. The seasonality of our sales may change in the future. Seasonal variations in our operating results may reduce our cash on hand, increase our inventory levels, and extend our accounts receivable collection periods. This in turn may cause us to increase our debt levels and interest expense to fund our working capital requirements.

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

Our products are used in activities and situations that involve risk of personal injury and death. Our products expose us to potential product liability, warranty liability, and personal injury claims and litigation relating to the use or misuse of our products, including allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product or activities associated with the product, negligence, and strict liability. If successful, any such claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, 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 able to maintain such insurance on acceptable terms, if at all, in the future and product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurance coverage. In addition, our reputation may be adversely affected by such claims, whether or not successful, including potential negative publicity about our products.

The failure to manage our growth could adversely affect our operations.

The failure to manage our growth could adversely affect our operations. To continue to expand our business and enhance our competitive position, we must make significant investments in equipment, facilities, systems, and personnel. In addition, we must commit significant funds to enhance our sales, marketing, information technology, and research and development efforts. As a result of the increase in fixed costs and operating expenses, our failure to increase our sales sufficiently to offset these increased costs could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Managing our planned growth effectively will require us to take a number of steps, including the following:

	●	enhance our operational, financial, and management systems;

	●	enhance our facilities and purchase additional equipment; and

	●	successfully hire, train, and retain additional employees, including additional personnel for our technological, sales, and marketing efforts.

The expansion of our products and customer base may result in increases in our overhead and selling expenses. We may be required to increase staffing and other expenses and our expenditures on capital equipment and leasehold improvements to meet the demand for our products. Any increase in expenditures in anticipation of future sales that do not materialize would adversely affect our profitability.

Our business is highly dependent upon our brand recognition and reputation, and the failure to maintain or enhance our brand recognition or reputation would likely have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our brand recognition and reputation are critical aspects of our business. We believe that maintaining and further enhancing our brands, particularly our STREAK VISUAL AMMUNITION™ brands, and our reputation are critical to retaining existing customers and attracting new customers. We also believe that the importance of our brand recognition and reputation will continue to increase as competition in our markets continues to develop.

We anticipate that our advertising, marketing, and promotional efforts will increase in the foreseeable future as we continue to seek to enhance our brands and consumer demand for our products. Historically, we have relied on print and electronic media advertising to increase consumer awareness of our brands to increase purchasing intent and conversation. We anticipate that we will increasingly rely on other forms of media advertising, including social media and e-marketing. Our future growth and profitability will depend in large part upon the effectiveness and efficiency of our advertising, promotion, public relations, and marketing programs. These brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue and the efficacy of these activities will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to do the following:

●

determine the appropriate creative message and media mix for advertising, marketing, and promotional expenditures;

	●	select the right markets, media, and specific media vehicles in which to advertise;

	●	identify the most effective and efficient level of spending in each market, media, and specific media vehicle; and

	●	effectively manage marketing costs, including creative and media expenses, to maintain acceptable customer acquisition costs.

In addition, certain of our current or future products may benefit from endorsements and support from particular sportsmen, athletes, or other celebrities, and those products and brands may become personally associated with those individuals. As a result, sales of the endorsed products could be materially and adversely affected if any of those individuals’ images, reputations, or popularity were to be negatively impacted.

Increases in the pricing of one or more of our marketing and advertising channels could increase our marketing and advertising expenses or cause us to choose less expensive but possibly less effective marketing and advertising channels. If we implement new marketing and advertising strategies, we may incur significantly higher costs than our current channels, which in turn could adversely affect our operating results. Implementing new marketing and advertising strategies also could increase the risk of devoting significant capital and other resources to endeavors that do not prove to be cost effective. We also may incur marketing and advertising expenses significantly in advance of the time we anticipate recognizing revenue associated with such expenses and our marketing and advertising expenditures may not generate sufficient levels of brand awareness and conversation or result in increased revenue. Even if our marketing and advertising expenses result in increased sales, the increase might not offset our related expenditures. If we are unable to maintain our marketing and advertising channels on cost-effective terms or replace or supplement existing marketing and advertising channels with similarly or more effective channels, our marketing and advertising expenses could increase substantially, our customer base could be adversely affected, and our business, operating results, financial condition, and reputation could suffer.

Our operating results may experience significant fluctuations.

Many factors contribute to significant periodic and seasonal quarterly fluctuations in our results of operations. These factors include the following:

	●	the cyclicality of the markets we serve;

	●	the timing and size of new orders;

	●	the cancellation of existing orders;

	●	the volume of orders relative to our capacity;

	●	product introductions and market acceptance of new products or new generations of products;

	●	timing of expenses in anticipation of future orders;

	●	changes in product mix;

	●	availability of production capacity;

	●	changes in cost and availability of labor and raw materials;

	●	timely delivery of products to customers;

	●	pricing and availability of competitive products;

	●	new product introduction costs;

	●	changes in the amount or timing of operating expenses;

	●	introduction of new technologies into the markets we serve;

	●	pressures on reducing selling prices;

	●	our success in serving new markets;

	●	adverse publicity regarding the safety, performance, and use of our products;

	●	the institution and outcome of any litigation;

	●	political, economic, or regulatory developments; and

	●	changes in economic conditions.

As a result of these and other factors, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful in the short term, and our performance in a particular period may not be indicative of our performance in any future period.

The failure to attract and retain key personnel could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Our success depends substantially on the efforts and abilities of our senior management and key personnel. The competition for qualified management and key personnel is intense. Although we maintain noncompetition and nondisclosure covenants with many of our key personnel, we do not have employment agreements with most of them. The loss of services of one or more of our key employees or the inability to hire, train, and retain additional key personnel could delay the development and sale of our products, disrupt our business, and interfere with our ability to execute our business plan.

In addition, our ability to maintain our competitive position is dependent to a large degree on the efforts and skills of our senior management team, including Fred Wagenhals, our President and Chief Executive Officer. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could materially and adversely affect our operations.

We may not be able to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, to meet our future capital needs.

In the future, we may require additional capital to fund the planned expansion of our business and to respond to business opportunities, challenges, potential acquisitions, or unforeseen circumstances. We could encounter unforeseen difficulties that may deplete our capital resources rapidly, which could require us to seek additional financing in the near future. The timing and amount of any additional financing that is required to continue the expansion of our business and the marketing of our products will depend on our ability to improve our operating results and other factors. We may not be able to secure additional debt or equity financing in a timely basis or on favorable terms, or at all. Such financing could result in substantial dilution of the equity interests of existing stockholders. We have no commitments for any additional financing should the need arise. If we are unable to secure any necessary additional financing, we may need to delay expansion plans, conserve cash, and reduce operating expenses. There is no assurance that any additional financing will be sufficient, that the financing will be available on terms favorable to us or to existing stockholders and at such times as required, or that we will be able to obtain the additional financing required for the continued operation and growth of our business. Any debt financing obtained by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities, or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of our company, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of holders of our Common Stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

Potential strategic alliances may not achieve their objectives, which could impede our growth.

We anticipate that we will enter into strategic alliances in the future. We continue to explore strategic alliances designed to expand our product offerings, enter new markets, and improve our distribution channels. Strategic alliances may not achieve their intended objectives, and parties to our strategic alliances may not perform as contemplated. The failure of these alliances may impede our ability to introduce new products and enter new markets.

Any acquisitions that we undertake will involve significant risks, and any acquisitions that we undertake in the future could disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and harm our operating results.

We have a strategy 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 markets and businesses. Acquisitions involve significant risks and uncertainties. We cannot accurately predict the timing, size, and success of any future acquisitions. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or to complete the acquisitions of candidates that we identify. Increased competition for acquisition candidates or increased asking prices by acquisition candidates may increase purchase prices for acquisitions to levels beyond our financial capability or to levels that would not result in the returns required by our acquisition criteria. Unforeseen expenses, difficulties, and delays frequently encountered in connection with expansion through acquisitions could inhibit our growth and negatively impact our operating results.

Our ability 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.

We may have little or no experience with certain acquired businesses, which could involve significantly different supply chains, production techniques, customers, and competitive factors than our current business. This lack of experience would require us to rely to a great extent on the management teams of these acquired businesses. These acquisitions also could require us to make significant investments in systems, equipment, facilities, and personnel in anticipation of growth. These costs could be essential to implement our growth strategy in supporting our expanded activities and resulting corporate structure changes. We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that 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 some or 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 we expect, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

As a part of any potential acquisition, we may engage in discussions with various acquisition candidates. In connection with these discussions, we and each potential acquisition candidate may exchange confidential operational and financial information, conduct due diligence inquiries, and consider the structure, terms, and conditions of the potential acquisition. In certain cases, the prospective acquisition candidate agrees not to discuss a potential acquisition with any other party for a specific period of time and agrees to take other actions designed to enhance the possibility of the acquisition, such as preparing audited financial information. Potential acquisition discussions frequently take place over a long period of time and involve difficult business integration and other issues. As a result of these and other factors, a number of potential acquisitions that from time-to-time appear likely to occur do not result in binding legal agreements and are not consummated, but may result in increased legal, consulting, and other costs.

Unforeseen expenses, difficulties, and delays frequently encountered in connection with future acquisitions could inhibit our growth and negatively impact 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. These interim fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

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

Any acquisitions that we undertake could be difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, and harm our operations.

We may be unable to effectively complete an integration of the management, operations, facilities, and accounting and information systems of acquired businesses with our own; to implement effective controls to mitigate legal and business risks with which we have no prior experience; to manage efficiently the combined operations of the acquired businesses with our operations; to achieve our operating, growth, and performance goals for acquired businesses; to achieve additional sales as a result of our expanded operations; or to achieve operating efficiencies or otherwise realize cost savings as a result of anticipated acquisition synergies. The integration of acquired businesses involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including the following:

	●	the potential disruption of our core businesses;

	●	risks associated with entering markets and businesses in which we have little or no prior experience;

	●	diversion of management’s attention from our core businesses;

	●	adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers;

	●	risks associated with increased regulatory or compliance matters;

	●	failure to retain key customers, suppliers, or personnel of acquired businesses;

	●	the potential strain on our financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and procedures;

	●	greater than anticipated costs and expenses related to the integration of the acquired business with our business;

	●	potential unknown liabilities associated with the acquired company;

	●	risks associated with weak internal controls over information technology systems and associated cyber security risks;

	●	meeting the challenges inherent in effectively managing an increased number of employees in diverse locations;

	●	failure of acquired businesses to achieve expected results;

	●	the risk of impairment charges related to potential write-downs of acquired assets in future acquisitions; and

●

the challenge of creating uniform standards, controls, procedures, policies, and information systems.

Breaches of our information systems could adversely affect our reputation, disrupt our operations, and result in increased costs and loss sales.

There have been an increasing number of cyber security incidents affecting companies around the world, which have caused operational failures or compromised sensitive corporate data. Although we do not believe our systems are at a greater risk of cyber security incidents than other similar organizations, such cyber security incidents may result in the loss or compromise of customer, financial, or operational data; disruption of billing, collections, or normal operating activities; disruption of electronic monitoring and control of operational systems; and delays in financial reporting and other management functions. Possible impacts associated with a cyber security incident may include among others, remediation costs related to lost, stolen, or compromised data; repairs to data processing systems; increased cyber security protection costs; reputational damage; and adverse effects on our compliance with applicable privacy and other laws and regulations.

A failure of our information technology systems, or an interruption in their operation due to internal or external factors including cyber-attacks, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Our operations depend on our ability to protect our information systems, computer equipment, and information databases from systems failures. We rely on our information technology systems generally to manage the day-to-day operations of our business, operate elements of our manufacturing facility, manage relationships with our customers, fulfill customer orders, and maintain our financial and accounting records. Failure of our information technology systems could be caused by internal or external events, such as incursions by intruders or hackers, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, failures in hardware or software, or power or telecommunication fluctuations or failures. The failure of our information technology systems to perform as anticipated for any reason or any significant breach of security could disrupt our business and result in numerous adverse consequences, including reduced effectiveness and efficiency of operations, increased costs, or loss of important information, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Any technology and information security processes and disaster recovery plans we use to mitigate our risk to these vulnerabilities may not be adequate to ensure that our operations will not be disrupted should such an event occur.

We are subject to extensive regulation and could incur fines, penalties and other costs and liabilities under such requirements.

Like many other manufacturers and distributors of consumer products, we are required to comply with a wide variety of laws, rules, and regulations, including those relating to labor, employment, the environment, the export and import of our products, and taxation. These laws, rules, and regulations currently impose significant compliance requirements on our business, and more restrictive laws, rules and regulations may be adopted in the future.

Our operations are subject to a variety of laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including those governing the discharge, treatment, storage, transportation, remediation, and disposal of certain materials and wastes, and restoration of damages to the environment, and health and safety matters. We could incur substantial costs, including remediation costs, resource restoration costs, fines, penalties, and third-party property damage or personal injury claims as a result of liabilities under or violations of such laws and regulations or the permits required thereunder. While environmental laws and regulations have not had a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, the ultimate cost of environmental liabilities is difficult to accurately predict and we could incur material additional costs as a result of requirements or obligations imposed or liabilities identified in the future.

As a manufacturer and distributor of consumer products, we are subject to the Consumer Products Safety Act, which empowers the Consumer Products Safety Commission to exclude from the market products that are found to be unsafe or hazardous. Under certain circumstances, the Consumer Products Safety Commission could require us to repurchase or recall one or more of our products. In addition, laws regulating certain consumer products exist in some cities and states, and in other countries in which we sell our products, and more restrictive laws and regulations may be adopted in the future. Any repurchase or recall of our products could be costly to us and could damage our reputation. If we were required to remove, or we voluntarily removed, our products from the market, our reputation could be tarnished, and we could have large quantities of finished products that we are unable to sell. We are also subject to the rules and regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or the ATF. If we fail to comply with ATF rules and regulations, the ATF may limit our growth or business activities, levy fines against or revoke our license to do business. Our business, and the business of all producers and marketers of ammunition and firearms, is also subject to numerous federal, state, local, and foreign laws, regulations, and protocols. Applicable laws have the following effects:

	●	require the licensing of all persons manufacturing, exporting, importing, or selling firearms and ammunition as a business;

	●	require background checks for purchasers of firearms;

	●	impose waiting periods between the purchase of a firearm and the delivery of a firearm;

	●	prohibit the sale of firearms to certain persons, such as those below a certain age and persons with criminal records;

	●	regulate the use and storage of gun powder or other energetic materials;

	●	regulate our employment of personnel with criminal convictions; and

	●	restrict access to firearm manufacturing facilities for individuals from other countries or with criminal convictions.

Also, the export of our products is controlled by International Traffic in Arms Regulations, or ITAR, and Export Administration Regulations, or EAR. The ITAR implements the provisions of the Arms Export Control Act and is enforced by the U.S. Department of State. The EAR implements the provisions of the Export Administration Act and is enforced by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Among their many provisions, the ITAR and the EAR require a license application for the export of many of our products. In addition, the ITAR requires congressional approval for any firearms export application with a total value of $1 million or higher. Further, because our manufacturing process includes certain toxic, flammable and explosive chemicals, we are subject to the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards, as administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which require that we take additional reporting and security measures related to our manufacturing process.

Several states currently have laws in effect that are similar to, and, in certain cases, more restrictive than, these federal laws. Compliance with all of these regulations is costly and time-consuming. Inadvertent violation of any of these regulations could cause us to incur fines and penalties and may also lead to restrictions on our ability to manufacture and sell our products and services and to import or export the products we sell.

Changes in government policies and firearms legislation could adversely affect our financial results.

The sale, purchase, ownership, and use of firearms are subject to numerous and varied federal, state, and local governmental regulations. Federal laws governing firearms include the National Firearms Act, the Federal Firearms Act, the Arms Export Control Act, and the Gun Control Act of 1968. These laws generally govern the manufacture, import, export, sale, and possession of firearms and ammunition. We hold all necessary licenses to legally sell ammunition in the United States.

Currently, the federal legislature and several state legislatures are considering additional legislation relating to the regulation of firearms and ammunition. These proposed bills are extremely varied. If enacted, such legislation could effectively ban or severely limit the sale of affected firearms and ammunition. In addition, if such restrictions are enacted and are incongruent, we could find it difficult, expensive, or even practically impossible to comply with them, which could impede new product development and the distribution of existing products. We cannot assure you that the regulation of our business activities will not become more restrictive in the future and that any such restriction will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

Any change to the interpretation of the Second Amendment would dramatically impact our ability to conduct business.

Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other applicable anti-corruption legislation, and export controls and trade sanctions, could result in fines or criminal penalties if we expand our business abroad.

The expansion of our business internationally would expose us to trade sanctions and other restrictions imposed by the United States and other governments. The U.S. Departments of Justice, Commerce, Treasury and other agencies and authorities have a broad range of civil and criminal penalties they may seek to impose against companies for violations of export controls, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, anti-boycott provisions and other federal statutes, sanctions and regulations and, increasingly, similar or more restrictive foreign laws, rules and regulations, which may also apply to us. By virtue of these laws and regulations, and under laws and regulations in other jurisdictions, we may be obliged to limit our business activities, we may incur costs for compliance programs and we may be subject to enforcement actions or penalties for noncompliance. In recent years, U.S. and foreign governments have increased their oversight and enforcement activities with respect to these laws and we expect the relevant agencies to continue to increase these activities. A violation of these laws, sanctions or regulations could result in restrictions on our exports, civil and criminal fines or penalties and could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our charter documents and Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and discourage a takeover.

Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Delaware law contain certain provisions that may have the effect of deterring or discouraging, among other things, a non-negotiated tender or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, a proxy contest for control of our company, the assumption of control of our company by a holder of a large block of Common Stock, and the removal of the management of our company. Such provisions also may have the effect of deterring or discouraging a transaction which might otherwise be beneficial to stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation also may authorize our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock, which could have voting and conversion rights that adversely affect or dilute the voting power of the holders of Common Stock. Delaware law also imposes conditions on certain business combination transactions with “interested stockholders.” Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to fill vacancies or newly created directorships. A majority of the directors then in office may elect a successor to fill any vacancies or newly created directorships. Such provisions cold limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock and impede the ability of the stockholders to replace management.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers, and employees under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights to our directors, officers, and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees. We also may have entered into contractual indemnification obligations under employment agreements with our executive officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and our stockholders.

Our results of operations could be impacted by unanticipated changes in tax provisions or exposure to additional income tax liabilities.

Our business operates in many locations under government jurisdictions that impose income taxes. Changes in domestic or foreign income tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation, could result in higher or lower income tax rates assessed or changes in the taxability of certain revenues or the deductibility of certain expenses, and higher excise taxes thereby affecting our income tax expense and profitability. In addition, audits by income tax authorities could result in unanticipated increases in our income tax expense.

Limited or No Public Market for our securities.

There has been a limited public market for our Common Stock and no public market for our outstanding stock options and warrants. Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB Market. The daily trading volume of our Common Stock has been limited.

We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the development of an active trading market or how liquid that market might become. The lack of an active market may reduce the value of shares of our Common Stock and impair the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares at the time or price at which they wish to sell them. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling our Common Stock and may impair our ability to acquire or invest in other companies, products, or technologies by using our Common Stock as consideration.

We may be unable to list our stock on a national exchange, such as NASDAQ.

There has been a limited public market for our Common Stock. Although it is our intention to qualify for the trading of our Common Stock on a national exchange, we may not meet or maintain certain qualifying requirements. If we are unable to meet these requirements, we may be limited to trading conducted on the OTCQB Market.

The market price of our Common Stock may be volatile and could decline.

The market price of our Common Stock has fluctuated substantially in the past and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A number of factors could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline, many of which we cannot control, including the following:

	●	our ability to execute our business plan;

	●	actual or anticipated changed in our operating results;

	●	variations in our quarterly results;

	●	changes in expectations relating to our products, plans, and strategic position or those of our competitors or customers;

	●	announcements or introduction of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

	●	market conditions within our market;

	●	the sale of even small blocks of Common Stock by stockholders;

	●	price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;

	●	significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of public companies in general and small emerging companies in particular;

	●	changes in investor perceptions;

	●	the level and quality of any research analyst coverage of our Common Stock, changes in earnings estimates or investment recommendations by securities analysis, or our failure to meet such estimates;

	●	any financial guidance we may provide to the public, any changes in such guidance, or our failure to meet such guidance;

	●	various market factors or perceived market factors, including rumors, whether or not correct, involving us, our customers, or our competitors;

	●	future sales of our Common Stock;

	●	Introductions of new products or new pricing policies by us or by our competitors;

	●	regulatory or environmental laws that restrict the sale of ammunition containing lead;

	●	acquisitions or strategic alliances by us or by our competitors;

	●	litigation involving us, our competitors, or our industry;

	●	regulatory, legislative, political, and other developments that may affect us, our customers, and the purchasers of our products;

	●	the gain or loss of significant customers;

	●	the volume and timing of customers’ orders;

	●	recruitment or departure of key personnel;

	●	developments with respect to intellectual property rights;

	●	our international acceptance;

	●	market conditions in our industry, the business success of our customers, and economy as a whole; and

	●	general global economic and political instability.

In addition, the market prices of small emerging companies have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to their operating performance. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been the subject of securities class action litigation. If we were the object of a securities class action litigation, it could result in substantial losses and divert management’s attention and resources form other matters.

Sales of large numbers of shares could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

Most of our Common Stock shares currently outstanding are restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are or will be eligible for resale in the public markets at various times within the next six months with respect to affiliates, subject to compliance with the volume and manner of sale requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and with respect to all restricted securities held by affiliates.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, any person (or persons whose shares are aggregated for purposes of Rule 144) who beneficially owns restricted securities with respect to which at least six months has elapsed since the later of the date the shares were acquired from us, or from an affiliate of ours, is entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of our Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume in our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 also are subject to certain manner-of-sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us. A person who is not an affiliate, who has not been an affiliate within three months prior to sale, and who beneficially owns restricted securities with respect to which at least six months has elapsed since the later of the date the shares were acquired from us, or from an affiliate of ours, is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the volume limitations or other requirements described above. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices.

In accordance with our recent offering of Units, consisting of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock, we are required to file a registration statement with the SEC registering 13,242,186 shares of Common Stock, including the shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the warrants contained in Units. We agreed to file an additional registration statements for approximately 11,783,853 shares of Common Stock, including the shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the warrants contained in Units. Once the registrations are effective, the holders of such Common Stock, including the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants will be able to freely sell their shares, which could have a negative effect on the prevailing market prices.

As a former shell company, resales of shares of our restricted common stock in reliance on Rule 144 of the Securities Act are subject to the requirements of Rule 144(i).

We previously were a “shell company” and, as such, sales of our securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, cannot be made unless, among other things, at the time of a proposed sale, we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and have filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months, other than Form 8-K reports. Because, as a former shell company, the reporting requirements of Rule 144(i) will apply regardless of holding period, restrictive legends on certificates for shares of our common stock cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale that is subject to an effective registration statement under, or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of, the Securities Act. Because our unregistered securities cannot be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless we continue to meet such requirements, any unregistered securities we issue will have limited liquidity unless we continue to comply with such requirements.

Conversion of warrants, and issuance of incentive stock grants may have a dilutive effective on our stock, and negatively impact the price of our Common Stock.

As of September 30, 2019, we had 8,853,432 warrants outstanding. Each warrant provides the holder the right to purchase up to one share of our Common Stock at a predetermined exercise price. The outstanding warrants consist of (1) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 349,060 shares of Common Stock at an average price of $2.50 per share until September 2020; (2) warrants to purchase 966,494 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.65 per share until April 2025; (3) warrants to purchase 4,641,745 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share over the next three to five years; and (4) warrants to purchase 2,896,133 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.40 until March 2024.

In November 2017, the Board of Directors approved the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, or (“the Plan”). Under the Plan, 485,000 shares of common stock were reserved and authorized to be issued. As of December 31, 2017, 200,000 shares of common stock were approved and issued under the Plan, and we recognized approximately $250,000 of related consulting expense. On January 10, 2018, 200,000 shares were awarded, and we recognized $330,000 of compensation expense. There are 85,000 shares remaining to be issued under the Plan.

We plan to adopt an Incentive Stock Plan designed to assist us in attracting, motivating, retaining, and rewarding high-quality executives, directors, officers, employees, and individual consultants by enabling such persons to acquire or increase a proprietary interest in our company to strengthen the mutuality of interests between such persons and our stockholders and providing such persons with performance incentives to expand their maximum efforts in the creation of stockholder value under the plan. We will be able to grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, bonus stocks, and performance awards under the plan.

To the extent that any of the outstanding warrants and options described above are exercised, dilution, to the interests of our stockholders may occur. For the life of such warrants and options, the holders will have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the price of the Common Stock with a resulting dilution in the interest of the other holders of Common Stock. The existence of such warrants and options may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and the terms on which we can obtain additional financing, and the holders of such warrants and options can be expected to exercise them at a time when we would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain additional capital by an offering of our unissued capital stock on terms more favorable to us than those provided by such warrants and options.

Effect of Issuance of Preferred Stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation allows us to issue Preferred Stock with voting, liquidation, and dividend rights senior to those of the Common Stock without the approval of our stockholders. The issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding stock of our company and result in the dilution of the value of the then current stockholders’ Common Stock. We have no current plans to issue shares of Preferred Stock.

Resale of Common Stock.

All of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and shares of our Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of our outstanding options and warrants may only be resold if they are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or are resold pursuant to an applicable exemption and are qualified or exempt under the securities laws of the applicable states. We filed a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of shares of Common Stock issued or underlying warrants sold by a private placement that closed in April 2018. This registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in September 2019. We agreed to file registration statements for our Convertible Promissory Note offering ending January 2019 and our current placement agent agreement. In the absence of this registration statement, such sale of such shares of our Common Stock could only be made under Rule 144.

We do not expect to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future.

We do not anticipate paying any dividends to our stockholders for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, stockholders may have to sell some or all of their Common Stock to generate cash flow from their investment. Stockholders may not receive a gain on their investment when they sell our Common Stock and may lose some or all of the amount of their investment. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial conditions, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law, and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our ability to produce accurate financial statements and on our stock price.

Under SEC regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting with our Form 10-K. The internal control report must contain (1) a statement of management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, (2) a statement identifying the framework used by management to conduct the required evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and (3) management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our most recent fiscal year, including a statement as to whether or not internal control over financial reporting is effective.

To achieve compliance with the applicable SEC regulations within the prescribed future period, we would be required to engage in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. Despite our efforts, we can provide no assurance as to our conclusions with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. There is a risk that we will be able to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, as has been the case with a significant number of companies attempting to comply with these regulations for the first time. This could result in an adverse reaction in the financial markets resulting from a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements.

If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, limit our ability to raise needed capital, and have a negative effect on the trading price of our Common Stock.

Although our Common Stock is not currently a penny stock, it has been a penny stock in the past and may be considered a penny stock in the future.

The SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks” that restricts transactions involving stock which is deemed to be penny stock. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules may have the effect of reducing the liquidity of penny stocks. “Penny stocks” generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share, other than securities: (i) registered on certain national securities exchanges if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange; (ii) quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market if current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the system; (iii) issued by an issuer that has net tangible assets (i.e., total assets less intangible assets and liabilities) in excess of $2,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years, or $5,000,000, if the issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years; or (iv) issued by an issuer that has average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years. As of the date of our most recent audited financial statements reported on by an independent public accountant, we have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000. As such, our Common Stock is not a penny stock. Nonetheless, our Common Stock has in the past constituted, and may again in the future constitute, “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon U.S. broker-dealers may discourage such broker-dealers from effecting transactions in shares of our Common Stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of such shares and impede their sale in the secondary market.

A U.S. broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor” (generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse) must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the “penny stock” regulations require the U.S. broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a “penny stock”, a disclosure schedule prepared in accordance with SEC standards relating to the “penny stock” market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A U.S. broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the U.S. broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a U.S. broker-dealer is required to submit monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the “penny stock” held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in “penny stocks”.

Stockholders should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for “penny stocks” has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, resulting in investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

Although our Common Stock is not currently a penny stock, no assurance can be given that our Common Stock will ever be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or any other exchange, or that our net tangible assets will continue to exceed $5,000,000 for the next year of operations or that our net tangible assets will exceed $2,000,000 thereafter such that our common stock will remain a non-penny stock.

Our certification of incorporation designates the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for actions or proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could discourage claims or limit shareholders’ ability to make a claim against the Company, our directors, officers, and employees.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation states that unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) an action asserting a claim of break of fiduciary duty owed by any direction, officer, or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers, or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers, or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction.

These exclusive forum provisions do not apply to claims under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The exclusive forum provision may discourage claims or limit shareholders’ ability to submit claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable and may create additional costs as a result. If a court were to determine the exclusive forum provision to be inapplicable and unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs in conjunction with our efforts to resolve the dispute in an alternative jurisdiction, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations.
