Our Company

Alternative Ballistics Corporation (OTCQB: ALBC) (“ALBC,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a public safety technology company focused on developing and commercializing patented less-lethal solutions designed to preserve life, reduce risk, and protect individuals in high-stress situations.

Our flagship product, The Alternative®, is a patented bullet-capture system that attaches to a standard service firearm and enables officers to deploy a less-lethal impact round while maintaining immediate access to lethal force if necessary. Unlike traditional less-lethal tools that generally require officers to transition to separate launchers or platforms, The Alternative® is designed to provide an immediate intermediate-force option using the firearm officers already carry and train with.

Following several years of research and development, independent testing, product refinement, and regulatory review, we are transitioning into early-stage commercialization. Since completing core testing and training protocols, we have conducted demonstrations domestically and internationally, initiated pilot activity with U.S. law enforcement agencies, and established a growing international distribution network.

As of August 2026, we have established more than 25 distribution partnerships representing over 40 countries and have conducted demonstrations across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. We have also initiated paid and unpaid pilot activities intended to support product evaluation, operational validation, and future procurement opportunities.

In addition to our professional market strategy, we are preparing to launch a consumer-focused product under The Home Defense™ brand. The Home Defense™ is designed to provide firearm owners with a less-lethal first option for personal and home defense. We believe the civilian market may represent a significant commercial opportunity due to its size, accessibility, and potentially shorter sales cycle relative to government procurement channels.

Our technology is supported by seven issued U.S. patents and seven issued international patents, with five additional international patent applications pending. We have also received favorable regulatory determinations from U.S. federal agencies. In August 2023, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) determined that The Alternative® is not classified as a firearm, ammunition, or destructive device under applicable federal statutes. In June 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) classified the product as EAR99, which generally permits export to most jurisdictions under No License Required (“NLR”), subject to applicable restrictions.

We believe we are positioned at a critical inflection point with validated technology, expanding market awareness, increasing distribution reach, and near-term opportunities to generate revenue through both professional and commercial channels.

Our Products

The Alternative®

The Alternative® is a patented less-lethal impact device designed for law enforcement, military, and professional security applications. The system attaches to an officer’s service weapon within seconds and is intended for situations where an officer may seek to deploy an intermediate-force option against a non-compliant subject presenting a threat of violence.

When deployed, the device uses proprietary bullet-capture technology to reduce the velocity and lethality of a live round for a single shot. Upon firing, the bullet enters and becomes captured within the alloy projectile, creating a blunt-force impact munition propelled at substantially reduced velocity compared to a conventional bullet. Once the device is discharged, the docking unit ejects from the firearm and the weapon immediately returns to its normal lethal configuration.

We believe The Alternative® addresses a critical operational gap within the force continuum by providing officers with an immediately available less-lethal option that does not require transition to a separate launcher or specialized platform.

The product is compatible with several widely used law enforcement sidearms, including Glock, Sig Sauer P320, Smith & Wesson M&P, CZ P-10, HK VP9, and Springfield Echelon platforms.

The Home Defense™

The Home Defense™ is our planned consumer-market product offering designed for civilian firearm owners seeking a less-lethal option for home and personal defense.

We believe the product may appeal to consumers seeking an additional layer of protection intended to establish intent, reduce potential liability, and help mitigate the risk of severe or fatal outcomes prior to the use of lethal force. Unlike traditional law enforcement deployment configurations, the civilian version is designed to remain mounted on a compatible firearm while safely stored within the home environment.

We have completed final packaging design for The Home Defense™ product and initiated its first production order in preparation for commercial launch.

Our Mission

Our mission is to reduce unnecessary loss of life while preserving officer and civilian safety in critical incidents. We seek to accomplish this objective by developing practical less-lethal technologies designed to improve response options in high-risk encounters.

We believe our products can contribute to safer outcomes in situations where traditional force options may not provide an ideal response. Our objective is not to replace existing less-lethal tools, but rather to introduce an additional capability designed to address scenarios where immediate deployment and retention of lethal readiness may be operationally important.

Market Opportunity

Professional Market

We operate within the global less-lethal solutions market, which includes products designed to temporarily incapacitate individuals while reducing the likelihood of fatal outcomes. End users include law enforcement agencies, military organizations, and private security providers.

According to industry research, the global professional less-lethal market is projected to reach approximately $4.6 billion by 2035, driven by increasing demand for de-escalation tools, evolving use-of-force policies, technological innovation, and growing emphasis on public safety outcomes.

The United States represents a significant addressable market, with more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies and approximately 800,000 sworn officers nationwide. We believe The Alternative® addresses a unique operational need because it provides an immediate less-lethal option using an officer’s existing service weapon.

Traditional less-lethal tools, such as conducted energy devices, beanbag shotguns, and 40mm launchers, are generally separate systems that may not always be immediately available during rapidly evolving encounters. We believe our technology fills a capability gap between traditional less-lethal tools and lethal force.

Our commercialization strategy in the professional market currently focuses on:

We generate or expect to generate revenue in the professional market through product sales, instructor-led training, annual requalification programs, product replenishment, and related support services.

Commercial Market

We intend to expand into the civilian self-defense market through The Home Defense™ product line.

According to industry research, the global civilian less-lethal and self-defense market is projected to exceed $5 billion by 2030. We believe several trends support this opportunity, including increased consumer focus on personal safety, growth in firearm ownership, rising interest in non-lethal self-defense alternatives, and increasing demand for products intended to reduce the risk of fatal outcomes.

Management believes the civilian market may provide a faster path to revenue generation relative to the professional market due to shorter purchasing cycles, broader accessibility, and the ability to leverage retail, training, and e-commerce distribution channels.

Our initial commercial launch strategy is expected to focus on targeted distribution through privately owned gun ranges and certified concealed carry training providers before broader expansion into e-commerce and direct-to-consumer channels.

Product Classification and Regulatory Position

In August 2023, we received a formal product classification determination from the ATF stating that The Alternative® does not constitute a firearm, ammunition, or destructive device under applicable federal statutes, including the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the National Firearms Act of 1934.

We believe this determination significantly reduces regulatory barriers associated with domestic manufacturing, distribution, and commercial sales compared to products regulated under those statutes.

In June 2025, we received a commodity classification determination from BIS classifying The Alternative® as EAR99. This classification generally permits export to most jurisdictions under No License Required (“NLR”), subject to standard export restrictions and prohibited end-user limitations.

We believe these regulatory determinations strengthen its ability to pursue domestic commercialization and international expansion opportunities.

Competitive Strengths

We believe our competitive strengths include:

We also believe our technology addresses a distinct operational scenario within the force continuum, particularly incidents involving elevated threats where officers may require an immediately available intermediate-force option while maintaining lethal capability.

Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy is centered on expanding adoption of The Alternative® within domestic and international professional markets while preparing for the commercial launch of The Home Defense™ product line.

Key elements of our strategy include:

We recently completed several operational and corporate milestones, including:

Although we have generated limited revenue to date, we believe current pilot activity, distribution expansion, increasing market awareness, and the planned launch of The Home Defense™ position us for future revenue growth.

Going Concern

Our independent audit firm has expressed in its report of our audited financial statements a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as the Company has not yet generated any significant revenue, has incurred recurring losses from operations, generated negative cash flows from operating activities and has had an accumulated deficit. Please refer to note 1 in our audited financial statements.

Summary Risk Factors

Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Some of these principal risks include the following:

Corporate Information

We are headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, with operations in San Diego, California and the United Kingdom. Our principal executive and administrative office is located at 5940 S. Rainbow Blvd., Las Vegas, Nevada 89118, and our telephone number is (619) 326-4411. Our website address is www.alternativeballistics.com. The information on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference and should not be considered to be a part of this prospectus.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These provisions include, among other matters:

We have elected to adopt the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of these elections, the information that we provide in this prospectus may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies.

We will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date on which we first sold common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of any fiscal year for so long as either (1) the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates does not equal or exceed $250 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) our annual revenues did not equal or exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates did not equal or exceed $700 million as of the prior June 30th. To the extent we take advantage of any reduced disclosure obligations, it may make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

THE OFFERING

(1) See Note 2 to our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for details on the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per unit attributable to common stockholders.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk and should be considered highly speculative. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, which address the material risks concerning our business and an investment in our common stock, together with the other information contained in this prospectus. If any of the risks discussed in this prospectus occur, our business, prospects, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, in which case the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Some statements in this prospectus, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Our Business

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

We have a limited operating history on which you can evaluate our business. Although our corporate entity has existed since 2020, we have only produced minimal revenue. We only officially launched our “pilot program” in 2023. As a result, our business is subject to many of the problems, expenses, delays, and risks inherent in the development of a relatively new business and the integration of key personnel and infrastructure.

Our independent audit firm has expressed in its report to our audited financial statements a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have not yet begun to generate material revenues from our operations to fund our activities and are therefore dependent upon external sources for financing our operations. There is a risk that we will be unable to obtain necessary financing to continue our operations on terms acceptable to us or at all. As a result, our independent audit firm has expressed in its auditors’ report on the financial statements a substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. This going concern opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities or otherwise. Future reports on our financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our shareholders may lose their entire investment.

We have a history of operating losses and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

We have recorded a net loss in all reporting periods since our inception through the date of this prospectus. Our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $3,433,591 and 39,268,975, respectively, and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $41,103,717 and $15,323,704, respectively. There can be no assurance that we will not experience net losses in the future and there can be no assurance of ever achieving profitability.

We expect to require additional financing in the future to continue our development. If we do not obtain such additional financing, our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We expect to require additional financing in the future to continue our development. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at all or on favorable terms. Failure to achieve revenue may accelerate our need to seek such additional financing, which could result in delay of our development and sale of our products. Subsequent financing may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders at the time of the financing and may dilute the value of their stock.

If we are unable to successfully implement our business plan for the sale of The Alternative®, our potential revenue growth could be slower than we expect.

The Alternative® is a new less lethal solution and it is our flagship product and its long-term adoption by the U.S. law enforcement industry, and by potential other markets including government, military, private security, and international markets, remains unknown. Among other things, production delays, excessive costs, performance failures, new legislation or regulation, competition, or negative publicity could delay or prevent its acceptance in the market and generation of revenue. In particular, negative publicity could harm our reputation, which could in turn prohibit us from marketing or otherwise commercializing The Alternative®. In addition, we have increased and may further increase our operating expenses in order to fund increases in our manufacturing, distribution, and sales and marketing efforts and increase our administrative resources in anticipation of future growth. To the extent that increases in such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by revenues, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth.

As we grow our business, a lack of demand for our products, competition, a decrease in the growth rate of our overall market, failure to develop and successfully market our products, or the maturation of our business or market could harm our business. We expect to make significant investments in additional R&D and sales and marketing, expand our operations and infrastructure, design and develop or acquire new products, and enhance our existing products. If our sales do not increase at a sufficient rate to offset these increases in our operating expenses, our profitability may decline in future periods.

Since inception, our operations have expanded rapidly and the scope and complexity of our business have increased substantially. We have only a limited history operating our business at its current scale. Key members of our management team do not have substantial tenure working together. Consequently, if our operations continue to grow at a rapid pace, we may experience difficulties in managing this growth and building the appropriate processes and controls. Continued growth may increase the strain on our resources, and we could experience operating difficulties, including difficulties in sourcing, logistics, recruiting, maintaining internal controls, marketing, designing innovative products, and meeting customer needs. If we do not adapt to meet these evolving challenges, the strength of our brand may erode, the quality of our products may suffer, we may not be able to deliver products on a timely basis to our customers, and our corporate culture may be harmed.

Our directors, executive officers, and significant stockholders may be able to influence us.

Our directors, executive officers, and other holders of more than 5% of our common stock, together with their affiliates, currently beneficially own, in the aggregate, 60.1% of our outstanding common stock and 82.2% of our voting stock prior to this offering. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, may have the ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, these stockholders, acting together, may be able to influence the management and affairs of our company. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership might decrease the market price of our common stock by:

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. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could materially and adversely affect our operations.

Further, our success and achievement of our growth plans depend on our ability to hire, train, and retain other highly qualified personnel. Our inability to maintain or attract qualified employees could delay the development and sale of our products, disrupt our business, and interfere with our ability to execute our business plan.

Although dependent upon certain key personnel, we do not have any key person life insurance policies on our management.

We are dependent upon management in order to conduct our operations and execute our business plan. However, we have not purchased any insurance policies with respect to any of our management in the event of their death or disability. Therefore, should any of those key personnel, management, or founders die or become disabled, we will not receive any compensation that would assist with such person’s absence. The loss of such person could negatively affect us and our operations.

Any future litigation could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.

From time to time, we may be subject to litigation including product liability claims, intellectual property claims, employment-related claims, commercial disputes, regulatory and enforcement action and stockholder class and derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. In addition, our reputation could be adversely affected by negative publicity surrounding such events regardless of whether or not claims against us are successful. A successful claim brought against us in excess of available insurance or not covered by insurance or indemnification agreements, or any claim that results in significant adverse publicity against us, could have a material adverse effect on our business and our reputation. Furthermore, the litigation process can put material or excessive demands on the time of management and employees, interfering with performance of regular responsibilities and stressing or delaying business operations, and the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. Any future litigation will have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business depends on our ability to prevent or mitigate the effects of a cybersecurity attack.

Our information technology systems, including third-party run payment service systems, may be subject to cyber-attacks, security breaches or computer hacking including a ransomware attack encrypting corporate information technology equipment, a directed attack against us or a data breach or cyber incident happening to a third-party network and affecting us. Regardless of our efforts, there may still be a breach, and the costs to eliminate, mitigate or address the threats and vulnerabilities before or after a cyber-incident could be significant. Any such breaches or attacks could result in interruptions, delays or cessation of operations and loss of existing or potential suppliers or customers. In addition, breaches of our information technology systems or security measures (including those of our third-party partners) and the unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal, proprietary or confidential information about our business, our business partners, customers or other third parties could expose us to significant potential liability and reputational harm, materially damage our customer and business partner relationships, and subject us to significant reputational, financial, legal, and operational consequences. Moreover, any such breach or attack could result in litigation against us by customers or other third parties whose data is compromised by any such attack. At this time, we do not carry insurance coverage against losses resulting from a breach of our information technology systems or those of our third-party partners.

Our business depends on our ability to prevent or mitigate the effects of commercial crime including theft by employees, forgery, and electronic crime.

Our internal protocols and controls cannot prevent all instances of theft, forgery, electronic crime, or other criminal activity by dishonest employees or external fraudsters. Our money, securities, and other property may be vulnerable to theft, damage, and manipulation both on our premises and in transit through a variety of criminal acts including forgery of authorized signatures on business checks, fraudulent manipulation of our computer systems, those of our third-party partners (including e-commerce and payment service systems), or those of third-party financial institution. Such activities could include an employee or hacker transferring unauthorized funds to an outside account, fraudulent electronic funds transfer instructions sent to our bank, receipt of counterfeit currency, social engineering fraud, or mismanagement or theft by persons handling funds of our qualified employee benefit plan. While we have limited coverage against forgery and employee dishonesty under our general liability policy and persons handling funds for our qualified employee benefit plan will be bonded, we do not currently have a comprehensive commercial crime insurance policy to provide broad protection from financial losses related to business-related crime. Moreover, insofar as we have limited coverage in our general insurance policy, deductibles may apply separately to related losses, a single limit may apply to a series of related losses, such coverage is likely to be inadequate to cover a material theft of this nature, particularly if a series of acts occurs over time prior to being discovered, and such coverage may not cover or be inadequate to cover certain types of losses including such indirect or consequential losses as investigative expense coverage, business interruption, loss of potential income, and legal fees, fines and penalties.

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

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended, 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 Articles of Incorporation, as amended, also authorizes 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. Our charter documents 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 could 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 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 expect to enter 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.

Risks Related to our Products

We have only developed The Alternative® for certain firearm models.

Currently, the docking unit we have developed for The Alternative® is compatible with a limited selection of firearm models. To initially launch operations, we selected the most used models by the law enforcement industry, including the Glock 17, 19, and 45; Glock 22 and 23 (Pre Gen-5), Smith & Wesson M&P, CZ P-10, Springfield Echelon, Taurus TH9 and Sig Sauer P320 to produce our current docking units. However, we understand that departments may contract with other companies to supply different firearm models to their force. In this event, we may have to develop a docking unit compatible with another model sooner than anticipated. These types of changes may affect our progress, as building molds incurs significant cost for each new model that is produced.

Sales of The Alternative® depend on the continued availability of the device’s components through our current source suppliers.

We have established multiple suppliers for each of the components for The Alternative®, which are the plastic docking unit and the alloy projectile. A disruption in the availability of raw materials and/or an increase in production costs could have an adverse impact on potential future sales of The Alternative®.

We are dependent on our relationships with key source suppliers for our business.

Our future operating results depend upon our ability to obtain timely delivery of a sufficient amount with reliable quality of all components on commercially reasonable terms. Failure of a supplier’s business or consolidation within the industry could further limit our ability to purchase key components in sufficient quantities and on commercially reasonable terms. Demands of competitors, including those with larger operations and stronger bargaining power, or those willing to pay a higher price or accept lower standards, could also limit our ability to purchase key components in sufficient quantities on commercially reasonable terms. Failure of our suppliers to provide sufficient quantities of components on favorable terms, meet quality standards, or deliver components on a timely basis may occur due to industry shortages of certain raw materials or other reasons. Such failures could delay or stop our production, result in possible lost sales, and seriously threaten our liquidity and revenues.

We are dependent on the quality of parts supplied by and quality controls of our source suppliers.

The Alternative® contains two key components, and we rely on our source suppliers to deliver these materials that comply with our specifications. While we test our finished products, we use randomized statistical inspection for components and these protocols which have inherent limitations and we may miss units that do not meet specifications. If a batch of finished products passes testing, but a unit or multiple units subsequently cause operational failures, we may need to undertake product recalls or implement protocols for improved performance or safety, which could negatively impact our reputation and business. Moreover, if any such product failure resulted in a physical injury, it could also subject us to the risks of potential product liability actions.

Higher costs or unavailability of components, freight, materials, and accessories could adversely affect our financial results.

Delays caused by industry allocations, material shortages (such as plastic or resins), or obsolescence could occur in the future. Such delays may take weeks or months to resolve and may result in increased costs as well as production and product fulfillment delays. In addition, in some cases, parts obsolescence may require a product re-design to ensure quality replacement components. These delays could cause significant delays in manufacturing and loss of sales, leading to adverse effects significantly impacting our financial condition or results of operations and could injure our reputation.

Our freight and import costs and the timely delivery of our products could be adversely impacted by a number of factors which could reduce the profitability of our operations, including: higher fuel costs; potential port closures; theft in transit; permit or customs clearance issues; increased government regulation or changes for imports of foreign products into the U.S.; delays created by terrorist attacks or threats, public health issues and pandemics and epidemics, national disasters or work stoppages; and other matters. Any interruption of supply for any material components of our products could significantly delay the shipment of our products and have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability, and financial condition. International or domestic geopolitical or other events, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs and/or quotas by the U.S. government on any of these raw materials or components, could adversely impact the supply and cost of these raw materials or components, and could adversely impact the profitability of our operations. Any of these events along with currently unknowable future events may impact our costs and product delivery timing and the availability and favorable pricing of materials used in our products. All of the foregoing could negatively impact our financial results.

If we are unable to successfully design and develop or acquire new products, our business may be harmed.

To maintain and increase sales we must continue to introduce new products and improve or enhance our existing products or new products. The success of our new and enhanced products depends on many factors, including anticipating consumer preferences, finding innovative solutions to consumer problems, acquiring new solutions through mergers and acquisitions, differentiating our products from those of our competitors, and maintaining the strength of our brand. The design and development of our products as well as acquisitions of other businesses are costly and we typically have several products in development at the same time. Problems in the design or quality of our products, or delays in product introduction, may harm our brand, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We rely on a limited number of third parties for shipping, transportation, logistics, marketing and sales of our products and components. A loss of any of such third-party relationships would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We rely on third parties to ship, transport, and provide logistics for our products and components. Our dependence on a limited number of third parties for these services leaves us particularly vulnerable due to our need to secure these parties’ services on favorable terms. Loss of, or an adverse effect on, any of these relationships or failure of any of these third parties to perform as expected could have a material and adverse effect on our operations, sales, revenue, margins, liquidity, reputation, and financial and operating results.

If we deliver products with defects, we may be subject to product recalls or negative publicity, our credibility may be harmed, market acceptance of our products may decline, and we may be exposed to liability.

We sell complex products including products that are new to the market and without a long performance history. These products may contain certain design and manufacturing defects including defects in materials and components that we purchase from third parties. There can be no assurance we will be able to detect and fix all defects in the products we sell. Accordingly, our products may experience quality and service problems from time to time that could result in decreased sales and operating margin and harm to our reputation.

Our business relationships with third parties could cause us to expend significant resources and incur substantial business risk with no assurance of financial return.

We rely upon business relationships for the manufacturing and distribution of certain products. Our business depends upon our ability to manufacture and sell our products to our customers. We currently do not have the capability to manufacture some of our products and product components on our own and are required to enter into agreements with third parties of such services. Additionally, due to the introduction of The Alternative® in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we only recently began to establish sales channels for our product by utilizing multiple marketing initiatives including media buys in digital and print publications, attending trade shows, and working with a government relations firm to build awareness and gain attention at the federal, state, and local levels. We are working with a premier media partner to educate and expand outreach in the global law enforcement market, and our team is working with affiliates and distributors in foreign markets to expand the international strategy of The Alternative®. With our reliance upon third parties for materials, components, shipping, and marketing services, there can be no assurance that such business relationships can be maintained, will be extended, renewed, or will achieve their goals. If we are unable to enter into business relationships for distribution and sales, or if any of our current business relationships are terminated or fail to achieve their goals, our business, operating results, and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

To the extent that we internally develop a sales force, the cost of establishing and maintaining a sales force would be substantial and may exceed our cost effectiveness. The acquisition or development of a sales and distribution infrastructure could require substantial resources, which may divert the attention of our management and key personnel and defer our product development and deployment efforts. In addition, in marketing our products, we would likely compete with companies that currently have extensive and well-funded marketing and sales operations. Despite marketing and sales efforts, we may be unable to compete successfully against these companies. We may not be able to do so on favorable terms. We could rely on third parties to market and sell our products in certain territories, rather than establishing an internal sales force. When we contract with third parties, including entering into collaborations with partners, for the sale and marketing of our products, revenues depend upon the efforts of these third parties, which may not be successful. If we fail to establish successful marketing and sales capabilities or to make arrangements with third parties for such purposes, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects will be materially adversely affected.

Lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and to limit commercialization of any products that we may develop.

We may be subject to proceedings or claims that may arise in the ordinary course of the business, which could include product and service warranty claims, which could be substantial. If our products fail to perform as warranted and we fail to quickly resolve product quality or performance issues in a timely manner, our reputation may be tarnished, potential sales may be lost, and we may be forced to pay damages. The occurrence of product defects and the inability to correct errors could result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of our products, material warranty expense, diversion of technological and other resources from our product development efforts, and the loss of credibility with customers, manufacturer’s representatives, distributors, dealers, and end-users, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial conditions.

Our products are used in activities and situations that involve risk of personal injury. 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. In addition, our reputation may be adversely affected by such claims, whether or not successful, including potential negative publicity about our products.

In the professional market, we intend for our product to be used by law enforcement officers involved in critical incidents as a de-escalation tool in potentially lethal situations. In the commercial market, our product is intended for use in dangerous situations as a self-defense and/or home defense tool for consumers when protecting themselves, their loved ones, or their property in potentially lethal situations.

Our product is designed for high-risk situations as an alternative to lethal force, so there is a possibility of unintended results, including wrongful death claims, if the product is not used in a manner that follows our recommended training and/or deployment guidelines. Therefore, we maintain general liability insurance that includes product liability coverage in amounts that we believe are reasonable, but there is no assurance that we will 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.

Our inability to obtain and retain sufficient product liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products and services we develop.

Our inability to obtain and retain sufficient product liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products and services we develop. Although we plan to maintain such insurance, any claim that may be brought against us could result in a court judgment or settlement in an amount that is not covered, in whole or in part, by our insurance or that is in excess of the limits of our insurance coverage. Our insurance policies may also have various exclusions, and we may be subject to a product liability claim for which we have no coverage. We will have to pay any amounts awarded by a court or negotiated in a settlement that exceed our coverage limitations or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient capital to pay such amounts.

Our business depends on maintaining and strengthening our brand and generating and maintaining demand for our products.

The Alternative® name and brand image are integral to the growth of our business, as well as to the implementation of our strategies for expanding our business. Our success depends on the value and reputation of our brand, which, in turn, depends on factors such as the quality, design, performance, functionality, and durability of our products, the image of our online presence, our communication activities, including advertising, social media, and public relations, and our management of the customer experience, including direct interfaces through customer service. Maintaining, promoting, and positioning our brand are important to expanding our customer base, and will depend largely on the success of our marketing and merchandising efforts and our ability to provide consistent, high quality customer experiences. We intend to make substantial investments in these areas in order to maintain and enhance our brand, however such investments may not be successful. Ineffective marketing, negative publicity, product diversion to unauthorized distribution channels, product or manufacturing defects, counterfeit products, unfair labor practices, failure to protect the intellectual property rights in our brand, and inability to provide satisfactory customer service experience as we rapidly expand our business, are some of the potential threats to the strength of our brand, and those and other factors could rapidly and severely diminish customer confidence in us. Furthermore, these factors could cause our customers to lose the personal connection they feel with The Alternative® brand. We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand image in our current markets and in new markets where we have limited brand recognition is important to expanding our customer base. If we are unable to maintain or enhance our brand in current or new markets, our growth strategy and results of operations could be harmed.

Our products and/or services may not gain market acceptance.

Our products and/or services may not gain market acceptance among law enforcement, regulators, and the gun community, which are critical to commercial success. Market acceptance of any product or service depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to the efficacy and safety of our product as demonstrated in testing and demonstrations; the timing of market introduction of such product or service as well as competitive products; and the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts.

Our sales cycles can be long and unpredictable, and our sales efforts require considerable time and expense.

The timing of our sales and related revenue recognition is difficult to predict because of the length and unpredictability of the sales cycle for our product. Government entities often undertake a significant evaluation process that lengthens the sales cycle. In addition, the impact of macroeconomic or geopolitical conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition by reducing sales, lengthening sales cycles and lowering prices for our services. We have experienced, and may experience in the future, increased scrutiny and a longer approval process for initial purchases by new customers, as a result of challenging macroeconomic conditions.

We spend substantial time and resources on our sales efforts without any assurance that our efforts will produce a sale, and it is difficult to predict whether and when a sale will be completed and when revenue from a sale will be recognized. The failure of our efforts to secure sales after investing resources in a lengthy sales process could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Due to our limited resources and access to capital, we must prioritize development of certain product candidates over other potential candidates. These decisions may prove to have been wrong and may adversely affect our revenues.

Because we have limited resources and access to capital to fund our operations, we must decide which product candidates to pursue and the amount of resources to allocate to each. Our decisions concerning the allocation of research, collaboration, management and financial resources toward particular product candidates may not lead to the development of viable product candidates and may divert resources away from better opportunities. Similarly, our decisions to delay, terminate or collaborate with third parties in respect of certain product candidates’ development programs may also prove not to be optimal and could cause us to miss valuable opportunities. If we make incorrect determinations regarding the market potential of our product candidates or misread trends in our industry, in particular for our lead product candidate, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Our business could be harmed if we are unable to accurately forecast demand for our products or our results of operations.

To ensure adequate inventory supply, we forecast inventory needs and often place orders with our manufacturers before we receive firm orders from our retail partners or customers. If we fail to accurately forecast demand, we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of product.

If we underestimate the demand for our products, we or our suppliers may not be able to scale to meet our demand, and this could result in delays in the shipment of our products and our failure to satisfy demand, as well as damage to our reputation and retail partner relationships. If we overestimate the demand for our products, we could face inventory levels in excess of demand, which could result in inventory write-downs or write-offs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices, which would harm our gross margins. Failures to accurately predict the level of demand for our products could cause a decline in sales and harm our results of operations and financial condition.

We may also face pricing pressures from competitors. If we fail to price our products appropriately relative to our competitors, consumers may not use our products, which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

In addition, we may not be able to accurately forecast our results of operations and growth rate. Forecasts may be particularly challenging as we expand into new markets and geographies and develop and market new products for which we have no or limited historical data. Our lack of historical data related to new products makes it particularly difficult to make forecasts related to such products.

Any of these variances would require rapid adjustments to the supply chain, production, and marketing. If we are unable to make these changes quickly or at all our inventory, production, and sales may be materially affected.

Failure to accurately forecast our results of operations and growth rate may cause us to make poor operating decisions that we may not be able to correct in a timely manner. Consequently, actual results could be materially different than anticipated. Even if the markets in which we compete expand, we have no assurance that our business will grow at similar rates, if at all.

Risks Related to Our Industry

The market for LLA is in a state of rapid technological change which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The markets for Less-Lethal Alternatives (“LLA”), in which our products and services are characterized, are associated with rapidly changing technology, which could result in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. Accordingly, our success is dependent upon our ability to anticipate technological and other changes and to successfully identify, obtain, develop, and market new products that satisfy evolving customer requirements. There can be no assurance that we will successfully develop new products or enhance and improve our existing products or that any new products and enhanced and improved existing products will achieve market acceptance. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not market products that have perceived advantages over our products or which render the products currently sold by us obsolete or less marketable.

We must commit significant resources to developing new products before knowing whether our investments will result in products the market will accept. To remain competitive, we may be required to invest significantly greater resources then currently anticipated in research and development and product enhancement efforts.

The LLA industry and security products markets are highly competitive and our success depends upon our ability to effectively compete with numerous worldwide businesses.

We face competition from a number of businesses, including worldwide businesses, many of which have substantially greater financial resources, operating scale, and a broader range of product offerings than we do. In the law enforcement market, in particular, we face competitors who have long-term, established relationships with security professionals who subscribe to an integrated suite of their products, some of which offer features that our current products do not support, and who may have made substantial investments in their hardware, creating an entry barrier to introduction of our competing product. Such competition could adversely affect our ability to win new contracts and sales and renew existing contracts. We operate in a period of intense competition in some key markets, which could affect the profitability of the contracts and sales we do win. If we cannot successfully compete in our industry and business segments, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could suffer.

Growth or expansion of sales of our product to schools, law enforcement, and other governmental or quasi-governmental entities may require expenditure of resources and lengthen our sale cycle.

Generally, entities such as schools, law enforcement, and other governmental or quasi-governmental entities consider a wide range of issues before committing to purchase non-lethal defense products, including product benefits, training costs, the cost to use our products in addition to, or in place of, other products, budget constraints and product reliability, safety, and efficacy. Such considerations may result in a sales cycle that is longer than and different from sales process related to dealers and consumers. Adverse publicity surrounding our products or the safety of such products could also lengthen our sales cycle with these customers. In addition, if we successfully grow or expand sales of our products to these customers, we could encounter challenges related to funding of law enforcement and other governmental and quasi-governmental entities generally, states and municipalities that fund such entities, and the recent changes in public sentiment around police funding. We may incur substantial selling costs and expend significant effort in connection with the evaluation of our products by such potential customers before they place an order. If these potential customers do not ultimately purchase our products, we will have expended significant resources and received no revenue in return.

Our revenues and potential profits depend on the level of funds and budgets available for our products, which is sensitive to general economic conditions and other factors.

The current customer base of The Alternative® is police departments, law enforcement agencies, military, and private security companies. The success of our business depends significantly on economic factors and budget constraints of these organizations. Although we have taken measures to assist U.S. police departments with funding through the grants process, volatile global economic conditions and general economic uncertainty result in factors that could adversely affect our prospects, resulting in a reduction of demand for our products and harm to our business and results of operations.

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. When law enforcement agencies procure tactical equipment, technology, and weapons, they must do so in a process that prioritizes based on need, and the expense must fit within the agency’s allotted budget for each given tactical category. Budgeted funds are usually prioritized for items to be purchased in the following year, when funds are dispersed to the agencies, which could be a factor that delays our progress and projections by extending the sales cycle. Other factors from a social and political perspective could create adverse economic effects. For example, calls to defund the police could have an effect on the availability of budgeted funds, or issues related to mandated policies could have an effect on personnel changes. Both of these types of factors could result in a reduction of demand for our products, and harm to our business and results of operations.

Risks Related to Regulation and Intellectual Property

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

We are subject to numerous federal, state, and local environmental, health and safety legislation, and other applicable regulations, laws, and measures relating to the manufacture and sale of our products. There can be no assurance that we will not experience difficulties with our efforts to comply with applicable regulations as they change in the future or that our continued compliance efforts (or failure to comply with applicable requirements) will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, business, prospects, and financial condition. Our continued compliance with present and changing future laws could restrict our ability to sell our products and expand our operations.

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

The manufacture, sale, purchase, possession, and use of weapons, ammunitions (including less-lethal ammunitions), firearms, and explosives are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign laws. If such regulation becomes more expansive in the future, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flows. The Alternative® is a relatively new product that may be subject to certain laws and regulations, including those related to LLA, and future legislation or regulation. New legislation, regulations, or changes to, or new interpretations of, existing regulation could impact our ability to manufacture or sell The Alternative® or limit its market, which could impact our cost of sales and demand for our products.

We may be subject, both directly and indirectly, to the adverse impact of existing and potential future government regulation of our products, technology, operations, and markets. For example, the development, production, (re-)exportation, importation, and transfer of our products and technology is subject to U.S. and foreign export control, sanctions, customs, import and anti-boycott laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (the “EAR”) (collectively, “Trade Control Laws”). If one or more of our products or technology, or the parts and components we buy from others, is or becomes subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (the “ITAR”) or national security controls or other controls under the EAR, this could significantly impact our operations, for example by severely limiting our ability to sell, (re-)export, or otherwise transfer our products and technology, or to release controlled technology to foreign person employees or others in the United States or abroad. We may not be able to obtain licenses and other authorizations required under the applicable Trade Control Laws. The failure to satisfy the requirements under the Trade Control Laws, including the failure or inability to obtain necessary licenses or qualify for license exceptions, could delay or prevent the development, production, (re-)export, import, and/or in-country transfer of our products and technology, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

Failure by us, our employees, or others working on our behalf to comply with the applicable Trade Control Laws could result in administrative, civil, or criminal liabilities, including fines, suspension, debarment from bidding for or performing government contracts, or suspension of our export privileges, which could have a material adverse effect on us. We transact with suppliers and others who are exposed to similar risks. Violations of the Trade Control Laws or other applicable laws and regulations could materially adversely affect our products, technology, brand, growth efforts, employees, and business.

Health and safety risks could expose us to potential liability and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Health and safety issues related to our products may arise that could lead to litigation or other action against us, to regulation of certain of our product components, or to negative publicity. We may be required to modify our technology and may not be able to do so. We may also be required to pay damages that may adversely affect our financial condition. Even if these concerns prove to be baseless, the resulting negative publicity could affect our ability to market certain of our products and, in turn, could harm our business and results from operations.

We are exposed to operating hazards and uninsured risks that could adversely impact our operating results and financial condition.

Our business is subject to a number of risks and hazards including loss of parts or finished goods in inventory or shipment, labor disputes, and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could delay or halt production or sale of goods, result in damage to equipment, personal injury or death, monetary losses, and possible legal liability. Although we currently maintain freight and inventory insurance and general liability insurance in amounts which we consider adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable, or we may elect in the future not to insure against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event we could incur significant costs that could have a materially adverse effect upon our financial position.

Uncertainty over global tariffs, or the financial impact of tariffs, may negatively impact our results.

Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in the U.S. Government’s approach to tariffs and other trade policies. As a result of major U.S. Government trade policy changes announced by President Trump, there is currently significant uncertainty with respect to tariffs that may impact our supply chain and international operations. New or increased tariffs for imports into the United States, as well as new or increased tariffs or trade bans imposed by other countries, could have an adverse effect on both our U.S. and international operations due to increased costs of materials and components, disruptions or delays in deliveries, and greater difficulty in planning and operating our business. We rely on third-party suppliers for key components of The Alternative®, including the plastic docking unit and alloy projectile, and certain manufacturing operations located outside the United States. Tariffs on imported components or materials could increase our cost of goods sold and negatively impact our margins. Additionally, our international distribution network, which currently includes partners representing over 30 countries, could be adversely affected by retaliatory tariffs or trade restrictions imposed by foreign governments, potentially limiting our ability to expand into international markets. To date, the Company has not experienced a material negative impact from the recent changes in tariff policies. Although we plan to continue to monitor trade policy developments closely and to mitigate the adverse impacts of any changes where possible, we may not be able to fully mitigate such impacts in all situations.

Data privacy and security laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we do business could increase the cost of our operations and subject us to possible sanctions and other penalties.

Our business is subject to a number of federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations governing data privacy and security, including with respect to the collection, storage, use, transmission, and protection of personal information.

In addition, a number of U.S. states have enacted data privacy and security laws and regulations that govern the collection, use, disclosure, transfer, storage, disposal, and protection of sensitive personal information, such as social security numbers, financial information, and other personal information. For example, all 50 states now have data breach laws that require timely notification to individual victims, and at times regulators, if a company has experienced the unauthorized access or acquisition of sensitive personal data. State law developments, which may impose substantial penalties for violations, could impose significant costs for investigations and compliance, allow private class-action litigation and carry significant potential liability for our business. We do not currently have insurance to cover us in the event of a data breach.

The interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations are uncertain and subject to change, and it may require substantial costs to assess, monitor and implement compliance with any additional requirements. Failure to comply with applicable law, including international data protection laws and regulations could result in government enforcement actions (which could include substantial civil or criminal penalties), private litigation or adverse publicity and could negatively affect our operating results and 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.

We, our business partners, and the industries in which we operate are subject to continuing scrutiny by regulators, other governmental authorities and private sector entities or individuals in the United States, South Africa, the European Union, China, and other jurisdictions, which may lead to enforcement actions, adverse changes to our business practices, fines and penalties, or the assertion of private litigation claims and damages that could be material. For example, the expansion of our business internationally exposes us to export controls, trade sanctions import and export clearance requirements, customs, tariffs, anti-corruption legislation, anti-boycott requirements and other obligations and restrictions imposed by the United States and other governments. The U.S. Departments of Justice, Commerce, Treasury, State, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and other U.S. and foreign agencies and authorities have a broad range of civil and criminal penalties they may seek to impose against companies for violations of export controls, trade sanctions, import and export clearance requirements, customs regulations, anti-corruption legislation, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, anti-boycott requirements 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 becoming and staying compliant, and we may be subject to enforcement actions or penalties for noncompliance, including fines, suspension, debarment from bidding for or performing government contracts, or suspension of our export privileges, which could materially adversely affect our business, operations, products, technology, brand, growth efforts, employees, and business partners. 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. There can be no assurance that the risk management and compliance programs we adopt will mitigate legal and compliance risks.

If our independent suppliers and manufacturing partners do not comply with ethical business practices or with applicable laws and regulations, our reputation, business, and results of operations would be harmed.

Our reputation and our potential customers’ willingness to purchase our products depend in part on our suppliers’, manufacturers’, and retail partners’ compliance with ethical employment practices, such as with respect to child labor, wages and benefits, forced labor, discrimination, safe and healthy working conditions, and with all legal and regulatory requirements relating to the conduct of their businesses. We do not exercise control over our suppliers, manufacturers, and retail partners and cannot guarantee their compliance with ethical and lawful business practices. If our suppliers, manufacturers, or retail partners fail to comply with applicable laws, regulations, safety codes, employment practices, human rights standards, quality standards, environmental standards, production practices, or other obligations, norms, or ethical standards, our reputation and brand image could be harmed and we could be exposed to litigation and additional costs that would harm our business, reputation, and results of operations.

Our employees may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include, but is not limited to, intentional failures to comply with regulatory regulations that may apply, provide accurate information to regulatory agencies, comply with manufacturing standards we have established, comply with federal and state laws and regulations, report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to us. Sales, marketing, and business arrangements in the law enforcement and ammunitions industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing, and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs, and other business arrangements. Employee misconduct could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of our testing and trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter employee misconduct, and the precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending ourselves or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business and results of operations, including the imposition of significant fines or other sanctions.

We rely in part upon trade secret protection to protect our intellectual property; it may be difficult and costly to protect our proprietary rights and we may not be able to ensure its protection.

We currently rely in part on trade secrets. While we use reasonable efforts to protect these trade secrets, we cannot assure that our employees, consultants, contractors, or advisors will not, unintentionally or willfully, disclose our trade secrets to competitors or other third parties. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods, and know-how. If we are unable to defend our trade secrets from others use, or if our competitors develop equivalent knowledge, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. Any infringement of our proprietary rights could result in significant litigation costs, and any failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights could result in our competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in loss of a competitive advantage and decreased revenue. Existing patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws afford only limited protection. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. Therefore, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights against unauthorized third-party use. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets could be expensive and time consuming, and the outcome of such a claim is unpredictable. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. This litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could materially adversely affect our future operating results.

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 and nondisclosure agreements, may prove inadequate to protect our proprietary rights. The right to stop others from misusing our trademarks, service marks, patents, designs, and copyright 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.

While we believe that our products and intellectual property do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, and undertake efforts to design around existing third-party patents or designs that we are aware of, a substantial portion of our commercial success depends upon us not infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We may become subject to claims by third parties that our technology infringes their intellectual property rights. Although all reasonable efforts are made to avoid third-party patents, there is no assurance that were a lawsuit to be brought by a third party, we would prevail. We may also become subject to these claims through indemnities that we provide to manufacturer’s representatives, distributors, dealers, retail partners, and certain service providers and consultants.

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, and any allegation of infringement could cause certain reputational damage for us and our brand. Royalty and licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Risks Related to the Ownership of our Securities

There is a limited market for our securities, which may make it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

Our Common Stock is quoted on OTCQB, under the symbol “ALBC,” and, to date, has traded on a limited basis. We intend to apply to ultimately list our Common Stock on a national securities exchange under the symbol “ALBC”. In the event our Common Stock begins trading on a national securities exchange, there can be no assurance that trading of the Common Stock on such market will be sustained. In the event that the Common Stock is not listed on a national securities exchange or if we do not sustain such listing, our Common Stock could be quoted only on the OTCQB or another over-the-counter market, such as the OTCQX or the OTCID, or may not be quoted or listed on any market at all. Under such circumstances, you may find it significantly more difficult to trade, or to obtain accurate quotations for our Common Stock and our Common Stock may become substantially less attractive to certain purchasers, such as financial institutions, hedge funds, and other similar investors.

An active market for our Common Stock may never develop, and we are under no obligation to seek out a more active market for our Common Stock.

If there is a thin trading market or “float” for our Common Stock, the market price for our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. Without a large float, our Common Stock would be less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our Common Stock may be more volatile. In addition, in the absence of an active public trading market, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment in us. Furthermore, the stock market is subject to significant price and volume fluctuations, and the price of our Common Stock could fluctuate widely in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:

The stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in recent years that have significantly affected the quoted prices of the securities of many companies, including companies in our industry. The changes may not be possible to predict and often appear to occur without regard to specific operating performance. The price of our Common Stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our Company and these fluctuations could materially reduce our stock price.

Our articles of incorporation allow our Board to create new series of preferred stock without approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our Common Stock.

Our Board has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board also has the authority to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval. As a result, our Board could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock granting holders a preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of Common Stock, and the right to redemption of the shares, together with a premium prior to the redemption of our Common Stock. In addition, our Board could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our Common Stock or that is convertible into our Common Stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our Common Stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

Any adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock could make it difficult for us to raise additional capital through sales of equity securities at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or in anticipation that such sales could occur, may materially and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock, if and when such market develops in the future.

Provisions of our Bylaws and Nevada law may delay or prevent a take-over that may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Provisions of our Bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt.

Our bylaws may be adopted, repealed, altered, amended and rescinded by the majority vote of our stockholders, and except as provided by Nevada law, our board of directors shall have the power to adopt, repeal, alter, amend and rescind any or all of our Bylaws by a vote of at least a majority of our Board of Directors then in office. The interests of these stockholders and directors may not be consistent with your interests, and they may make changes to our Bylaws that are not in line with your concerns.

Nevada law also provides that directors may resist a change or potential change in control if the directors determine that the change is opposed to, or not in the best interests of, the corporation. The existence of anti-takeover provisions of Nevada law and other potential anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of the Company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your Common Stock in an acquisition.

Our future results may vary significantly which may adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

It is possible that our quarterly revenues and operating results may vary significantly in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful indicators of the future. You should not rely on the results of one quarter as an indication of our future performance. It is also possible that in some future quarters, our revenues and operating results will fall below our expectations or the expectations of market analysts and investors. If we do not meet these expectations, the price of our Common Stock may decline significantly.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade our common stock, the price of our securities could decline.

The trading market for our securities could be influenced by any research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have, and may never obtain, research coverage by securities and industry analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our securities would be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts cover us and one or more of these analysts downgrade our securities or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our securities would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our securities could decrease, which could cause the price of our securities and trading volume to decline.

Negative publicity may affect our business performance and could affect our stock price.

Unfavorable media related to our industry, company, brands, marketing, personnel, operations, business performance, or prospects may affect our stock price and the performance of our business, regardless of its accuracy or inaccuracy. Our success in maintaining, extending, and expanding our brand image depends on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing media environment. Adverse publicity or negative commentary on social media outlets, such as blogs, websites, or newsletters, could hurt operating results, as consumers might avoid brands that receive bad press or negative reviews. Negative publicity may result in a decrease in operating results that could lead to a decline in the price of our common stock and cause you to lose all or a portion of your investment.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never paid cash dividends on our securities and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. The determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any financing instruments, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant in its discretion. Accordingly, you may need to sell your shares of our common stock to realize a return on your investment, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them, or at all for an indefinite period of time, except as permitted under the Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

Future sales of our common stock, other securities convertible into our common stock, or our preferred stock could cause the market value of our common stock to decline and could result in dilution of your shares.

Our board of directors is authorized, without your approval, to cause us to issue additional shares of our common stock or to raise capital through the creation and issuance of preferred stock, other debt securities convertible into common stock, options, warrants and other rights, on terms and for consideration as our board of directors in its sole discretion may determine. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or of preferred stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sales, on the value of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by our officers and directors or other large shareholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Exercise of options or warrants or vesting of restricted shares of common stock may have a dilutive effect on your percentage ownership and may result in a dilution of your voting power and an increase in the number of shares of common stock eligible for future resale in the public market, which may negatively impact any trading price of our shares of common stock.

The exercise of some or all of our outstanding options and warrants, and the vesting of restricted shares of common stock, could result in significant dilution in the percentage ownership interest of our stockholders and in a significant dilution of voting rights and earnings per share. As the date of this prospectus, we have outstanding warrants exercisable for 793,334 shares of common stock.

In March 2026, we issued to Lendspark Corporation a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $550,000, which is convertible into shares of our common stock at a variable conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest traded price during the ten trading days preceding conversion (or 50% upon an event of default) (the “Conversion Price”), and a warrant to purchase 166,667 shares at $5.00 per share with full ratchet anti-dilution protection. Because the conversion price of the Lendspark Note decreases as our stock price decreases, the number of shares issuable upon conversion is not fixed and could be substantial, resulting in significant dilution to existing stockholders. The Lendspark Warrant’s anti-dilution provisions could similarly result in a lower exercise price and increased share issuances if we issue equity at prices below the current exercise price. Additionally, the Lendspark Note is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our assets, and a default could result in foreclosure, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot predict the actual number of shares that will be issued upon conversion or exercise, but such issuances could materially dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders.

In June 2026, we issued to Keystone Capital Partners LLC (“Keystone”) promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000, which is convertible into shares of our common stock at a variable conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05 (the “Floor Price) and (ii) 65% of the lowest traded price during the ten trading days preceding conversion (or 50% upon an event of default) (the “Conversion Price”). If the Conversion Price ends up being lower than the Floor Price, we are required to make a cash payment to Keystone to make up for the difference. Because the conversion price of the Keystone Note decreases as our stock price decreases, the number of shares issuable upon conversion is not fixed and could be substantial, resulting in significant dilution to existing stockholders. We cannot predict the actual number of shares that will be issued upon conversion or exercise, but such issuances could materially dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders.

In June 2026, we issued to Pinz Capital Special Opportunities Fund, LP (“Pinz”) promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000, which is convertible into shares of our common stock at a variable conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.05 (the “Floor Price) and (ii) 65% of the lowest traded price during the ten trading days preceding conversion (or 50% upon an event of default) (the “Conversion Price”). If the Conversion Price ends up being lower than the Floor Price, we are required to make a cash payment to Pinz to make up for the difference. Because the conversion price of the Pinz Note decreases as our stock price decreases, the number of shares issuable upon conversion is not fixed and could be substantial, resulting in significant dilution to existing stockholders. We cannot predict the actual number of shares that will be issued upon conversion or exercise, but such issuances could materially dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders.

In August 2026, we issued to Liberty Funding, LLC a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $165,000, which is convertible into shares of our common stock at a variable conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest traded price during the ten trading days preceding conversion (or 50% upon an event of default) (the “Conversion Price”), and a warrant to purchase 166,667 shares at $5.00 per share with full ratchet anti-dilution protection. Because the conversion price of the Liberty Funding Note decreases as our stock price decreases, the number of shares issuable upon conversion is not fixed and could be substantial, resulting in significant dilution to existing stockholders. The Liberty Funding Warrant’s anti-dilution provisions could similarly result in a lower exercise price and increased share issuances if we issue equity at prices below the current exercise price. Additionally, the Liberty Funding Note is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our assets, and a default could result in foreclosure, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot predict the actual number of shares that will be issued upon conversion or exercise, but such issuances could materially dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging-growth company,” as defined in the Exchange Act. As such, we are eligible to take, and intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, including (i) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency, and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements; and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports.

In addition, the Exchange Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we may adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-public companies instead of the dates required for other public companies. If we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will no longer be able to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date on which we first sold common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion; (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates was $700.0 million or more as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year; or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of choosing to rely on these exemptions. For example, if we do not adopt a new or revised accounting standard, our future results of operations will not be as comparable to the results of operations of certain other companies in our industry that adopted such standards. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.

The resale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

We are registering for resale of up to 50,200,000 shares of Common Stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. We cannot predict if and when the Selling Stockholders may sell such shares in the public market.

IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE RISKS, BUSINESSES ARE OFTEN SUBJECT TO RISKS NOT FORESEEN OR FULLY APPRECIATED BY MANAGEMENT. IN REVIEWING THIS FILING, POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD KEEP IN MIND THAT OTHER POSSIBLE RISKS MAY ADVERSELY IMPACT THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares. The selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by them for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by them in disposing of the shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.

We may receive proceeds from the exercise of warrants for cash; however, we cannot predict when or whether the warrants will be exercised, and it is possible that the warrants may expire and never be exercised.

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “ALBC.”

As of the date of this filing, there were 195 holders of record of our common stock.

Transfer Agent

Our transfer agent is VStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11958, United States.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. The determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any financing instruments, and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant in its sole discretion. Accordingly, you may need to sell your shares of our common stock to realize a return on your investment, and you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid for them. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Securities—We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.”

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our financial statements. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks, and assumptions associated with these statements. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

Alternative Ballistics Corporation, a Nevada corporation, was formed on August 27, 2020 for the purpose of acquiring Alternative Ballistics, L.P. (“LP”), a California limited partnership, and merging into the new corporate entity (“ABC”). Our corporate offices are in Las Vegas, Nevada, and San Diego, California.

We are in the LLA market of the law enforcement industry. This is a niche market with multiple tools and options available to law enforcement personnel for the deployment of various types of ammunition designed to temporarily incapacitate, stun, or cause temporary discomfort to a person without penetrating the body. Less-lethal technologies are continuously evolving, and law enforcement agencies are generally open to reviewing data, scheduling demonstrations, or procuring ammunition samples to conduct their own internal testing, which is influencing the growth of the LLA global market.

Our immediate plan of operations includes additional rounds of ballistics testing, the launch of domestic pilot programs, securing our first international contracts, and research and development on the consumer version of our current product for the commercial market. We intend to penetrate domestic and foreign professional markets by continuing to introduce The Alternative® to law enforcement agencies and private security companies, and other federal agencies. We hope to expand our presence in the professional markets and introduce our consumer version to the commercial market and continue to expand operations domestically and internationally. We anticipate that our training program will constitute our largest and most complex operation, as it will entail sending training teams throughout the country and eventually the globe on multiple day trips to conduct presentations, demonstrations, and training programs. This will involve traveling with weapons, inventory, and custom gear including custom targets and stands. Our training program will likely be the area where we will most need to expand our operations by bringing on new trainers who are professionals in the field of law enforcement. We can make no assurances that our plan of operation will succeed according to projections and expectations, and we encourage investors to see the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus to learn more about the risks associated with our business.

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, operating activities used approximately $0.7 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of approximately $3.4 million, partially offset by a loss on embedded derivatives related to convertible notes and warrant of $1.7 million, stock-based compensation of approximately $0.2 million, amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.3 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.2 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating activities used approximately $0.8 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of approximately $39.3 million, partially offset by stock-based compensation of approximately $32.8 million, loss on deferred compensation settlement of $4.8 million, amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.4 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $0.3 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, operating activities used approximately $1.2 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of approximately $41.1 million, partially offset by stock-based compensation of approximately $38.4 million, amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.6 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1.1 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, operating activities used approximately $1.6 million of cash, primarily resulting from our net loss of approximately $15.3 million, partially offset by shares issued for services of approximately $12.7 million.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.7 million, consisting primarily of net proceeds from convertible notes payable of $0.7 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.5 million, consisting of proceeds from a convertible note payable of $0.45 million and proceeds from the sale of common stock of $0.09 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.9 million, consisting of proceeds from convertible notes payable of $0.8 million and proceeds from the sale of common stock of $0.1 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.3 million, consisting of proceeds from a note payable of $1 million.

Funding Requirements

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance our management team, marketing, and research and development.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings and debt financing. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of such stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures, or declaring dividends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $103.1 and $99.6 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We incurred a net loss of approximately $3.4 million and cash outflows from operations of approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. We incurred a net loss of approximately $41.1 million and cash outflows from operations of approximately $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our business plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our research and development activities and commercialize our products will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. To date, we have funded our operations with proceeds from sales of common stock and borrowings under convertible promissory notes. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.04 million.

Our short-term material cash requirements are approximately $6.5 million, which we expect can provide us with one year of operating capital and payment of debt obligations. Our long-term material cash requirements are approximately $12.0 million, which we expect can provide us with five years of operating capital and payment of debt obligations. The anticipated source of funds to satisfy our cash requirements are through equity investments.

As of June 30, 2026, we have a total of current material debt of $4.0 million in principal in the form of convertible promissory notes and accrued interest. During the first half of 2026, we issued convertible notes in the aggregate of $760,000, which convertible notes bear interest rates ranging from 10%-18%. During 2025, we also completed a bridge financing on January 28, 2025 and July 22, 2025, whereby we issued to Solyco a convertible note of $500,000 and $300,000, respectively, which both convertible notes bear an interest rate of 18% per annum and are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a 50% discount to the “Qualified Offering Price,” as defined therein. Please see more detailed discussion under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Related Party Promissory Note—Solyco Capital Bridge Loan.”

Critical Accounting Policies

See Note 2 in our Financial Statements for our Significant Accounting Policies.

Revenue Recognition

We generate revenue through the distribution of our products and accessories to dealers/distributors, security companies, and law enforcement agencies. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of goods to the customer, which generally occurs when title to goods is passed and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Depending on the contract terms, transfer of control is upon shipment of goods to or upon the customer’s pick-up of the goods.

We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that five basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identity the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfied a performance obligation.

Stock Based Compensation

We follow the fair value recognition provisions issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) Compensation – Stock Compensation.

The Company issues stock options and warrants, shares of common stock and restricted stock units as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for services. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of our common stock and is recognized as expense over the service period. We also use Black-Scholes option pricing model for the purpose of estimating the fair value of options and warrants. Changes in our Black-Scholes assumptions, or if we were to utilize an alternative method for valuing options or warrants issued to our vendors, could impact our expense and our results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, we did not have and we do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Working Capital Loan

We have issued the following Working Capital Loans to Solyco in order to fund our working capital needs:

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Exchange Act, and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” These provisions include:

We have elected to adopt the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of this election, the information that we provide in this prospectus may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies in which you hold equity interests.

We will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date on which we first sold common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) as of the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of any fiscal year for so long as either (1) the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates does not equal or exceed $250 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) our annual revenues did not equal or exceed $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates did not equal or exceed $700 million as of the prior June 30th. To the extent we take advantage of any reduced disclosure obligations, it may make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

OUR BUSINESS

Overview

Alternative Ballistics Corporation (OTCQB: ALBC) (“ALBC,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a public safety technology company focused on developing and commercializing patented less-lethal solutions designed to preserve life, reduce risk, and protect individuals in high-stress situations.

Following several years of research and development, product iteration, and third-party ballistics validation, we are transitioning into early-stage commercialization. Our flagship product, The Alternative®, is a patented less-lethal device that attaches to a standard service firearm and enables officers to deploy a non-penetrating impact round while maintaining immediate access to lethal force if necessary.

Since completing core testing and training protocols in 2023, we have initiated pilot programs with U.S. law enforcement agencies, conducted demonstrations domestically and internationally, and established a growing international distribution network. As of June 2026, we have entered into agreements with 28 distribution partners representing 48 countries. We have shipped initial product samples to 21 countries for purposes including demonstration, classification, and evaluation. We have also conducted demonstrations across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.

In parallel, we are developing a commercial-market product, The Home Defense™, intended to provide civilian firearm owners with a less-lethal option for home and personal defense. We believe the civilian market may represent a meaningful commercial opportunity due to its size, accessibility, and comparatively shorter sales cycle relative to government procurement channels.

Our products are supported by issued U.S. patents, international patent filings, and regulatory determinations. In August 2023, the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) determined that The Alternative® is not classified as a firearm, ammunition, or destructive device under applicable federal law. In June 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security classified the product as EAR99, permitting export to most jurisdictions under standard licensing exemptions.

Our products are designed to attach to a standard sidearm and provide an immediately deployable less-lethal option in critical situations where time and operational flexibility are important considerations. Our objective is to provide law enforcement and civilian users with an additional force option intended to improve safety outcomes in high-risk encounters.

We are in the early stages of commercialization and believes it is positioned to pursue revenue generation through both professional law enforcement and commercial market channels.

Our Products

Our current product portfolio consists of patented less-lethal technologies designed for use in high-stress environments by law enforcement, security professionals, and civilian users.

The Alternative®

Our flagship product, The Alternative®, is a patented less-lethal attachment system designed to integrate with a standard service firearm. When deployed, it enables a user to fire a non-penetrating impact projectile while maintaining immediate transition capability back to lethal force if required.

The system is designed to be carried on the duty weapon and deployed in seconds, providing an immediate less-lethal option during rapidly evolving critical incidents. Unlike standalone less-lethal platforms that require officers to transition to separate equipment, The Alternative® is intended to operate as an integrated solution within an officer’s existing firearm platform.

The product is supported by multiple issued U.S. patents and international patent filings and has undergone third-party testing and validation. The Company has also received favorable regulatory determinations, including classification by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) confirming it is not a firearm, ammunition, or destructive device, and a U.S. Department of Commerce classification as EAR99, supporting broad export eligibility.

The Home Defense™

Our second product, The Home Defense™, is a consumer-oriented less-lethal self-defense system based on the same core patented technology platform as The Alternative®.

The Home Defense™ is fully developed and production-ready, with initial inventory manufactured. We have completed final product configuration and has initiated initial production runs, with commercialization pending completion of consumer packaging and go-to-market rollout.

The product is designed for civilian firearm owners as a less-lethal option for home and personal defense, intended to provide an additional tool to establish intent and potentially reduce the likelihood of fatal outcomes prior to the use of lethal force.

We expect to distribute The Home Defense™ through targeted retail channels, including firearm training facilities and licensed firearms retailers, with planned expansion into e-commerce distribution following initial market entry.

Product Strategy

Our strategy is focused on dual-market commercialization. The Alternative® is targeted toward law enforcement, military, and private security markets, while The Home Defense™ is positioned for near-term commercial launch in the civilian market.

Both products are built on the same patented technology platform and are designed to expand the our addressable market across professional and consumer segments.

Market Opportunity

We operate within the global less-lethal and personal defense technology market, which spans both professional public safety applications and civilian self-defense use cases. Demand for these solutions is driven by a common set of underlying factors, including increased focus on de-escalation, evolving use-of-force standards, rising legal and financial exposure related to use-of-force incidents, and growing consumer interest in personal and home protection alternatives.

In the professional market, law enforcement, military, and private security agencies continue to seek additional force options that bridge the gap between verbal compliance tools and lethal force, particularly in rapidly evolving situations where response time is limited. In parallel, the civilian market for home and personal defense has expanded as firearm ownership remains widespread and consumers increasingly seek alternatives that may provide additional layers of risk mitigation, intent signaling, and perceived liability reduction in self-defense scenarios.

Professional Market

We operate within the global less-lethal solutions market, which includes technologies designed to temporarily incapacitate individuals while reducing the likelihood of fatal outcomes. This market serves law enforcement, military, and security personnel worldwide and continues to grow as agencies prioritize de-escalation tools and risk mitigation.

According to Grand View Research, the global non-lethal weapons market was valued at approximately $9.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to approximately $15.8 billion by 2033, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 6.5% from 2026 through 2033. Growth is expected to be driven by increasing demand for alternatives to lethal force, modernization of law enforcement and defense capabilities, evolving use-of-force policies, and technological innovation. Grand View Research further projects that the civil and commercial segment of the global non-lethal weapons market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 6.8% from 2026 through 2033, reflecting increasing demand for non-lethal products for civilian and commercial applications.¹

Law enforcement agencies represent the largest end-user segment, accounting for a majority of global demand.² In the United States alone, there are roughly 18,000 law enforcement agencies employing approximately 800,000 sworn officers, representing a significant domestic addressable market. ³

Traditional less-lethal tools, such as conducted energy devices, beanbag rounds, and 40mm launchers, are widely used but often require separate equipment or delayed deployment. We believe The Alternative® addresses a critical operational gap in the use-of-force continuum by providing an additional intermediate option between traditional less-lethal tools and lethal force that can be deployed immediately using an officer’s primary service weapon.

While adoption of new law enforcement technologies can involve extended evaluation periods, we believe that increasing public focus on use-of-force outcomes, combined with demonstrated field performance and training integration, will support long-term market adoption.

Commercial Market

The commercial market represents a significant and potentially faster path to revenue generation compared to the professional law enforcement market due to its size, accessibility, and shorter purchasing cycles.

The U.S. civilian firearms market is substantial, with hundreds of millions of firearms in circulation and a growing emphasis on personal safety and home defense.⁴ In recent years, firearm ownership has increased significantly, with tens of millions of firearms purchased between 2020 and 2022 alone.⁵ This trend, combined with rising consumer interest in safety-focused and non-lethal alternatives, creates a favorable environment for products designed to reduce the risk of fatal outcomes.

Historically, rifles and shotguns have outsold pistols, but that began to change in the 1990s when a cultural shift saw more gun owners purchasing firearms for self-protection⁶ rather than for sport or hunting. From 2019 to 2021, U.S. gun manufacturers produced almost double the number of semi-automatic pistols to the number of rifles, at approximately 15 million compared to approximately 9 million,⁷ respectively. During this timeframe, predominantly as a response to events during the pandemic and a desire to protect life and property, if necessary, it is reported that 18% of U.S. households purchased firearms, and these related sales increased the number of armed homes to 46% up from 32% pre-pandemic.⁸

The civilian less-lethal and self-defense weapons market represents a rapidly growing commercial opportunity, driven by increasing consumer demand for personal safety solutions amid rising urban safety concerns and crime rates. According to a January 2026 report by Research and Markets, the global market is projected to grow from approximately $4.06 billion in 2026 to $5.3 billion by 2030, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.⁹ Growth is being fueled by continued innovation in compact and multi-functional non-lethal devices, expansion of e-commerce distribution channels, and increasing adoption of less-lethal options by both civilians and private security personnel. The report also highlights rising interest in home-defense-oriented products, smart-enabled safety devices, and solutions that reduce the risk of fatal outcomes, underscoring a favorable market environment for products such as The Home Defense™.

Market Drivers

Across both professional and civilian segments, we believe several macro trends are contributing to growth in the less-lethal category, including:

Company Positioning

We believe we’re positioned within a subset of the less-lethal market focused on immediate deployment capability integrated directly into a standard firearm platform. This approach is intended to address a gap between traditional stand-alone less-lethal systems and lethal force options, particularly in time-sensitive scenarios.

We intend to pursue market penetration through a combination of direct agency engagement, distribution partnerships, training programs, and, in the civilian market, retail and commercial channels.

Competitive Strengths

Proprietary Technology Platform

We believe our technology is uniquely positioned because it introduces a capability that doesn’t currently exist, the ability to deploy less-lethal force instantly from a primary service weapon.

We believe our technology is uniquely positioned because it introduces a capability that doesn’t currently exist, the ability to deploy less-lethal force instantly from a primary service weapon. Their products are primarily standalone devices that require a transition to a separate system, while our approach is fundamentally different.

Traditional less-lethal tools are generally designed for lower-level compliance scenarios. Our technology is built for more elevated threats situations involving non-firearm weapons that may escalate to lethal force, where an officer needs an immediate proportional-force option on scene, not one that must be retrieved or fails to meet the threat level.

We’re not replacing existing tools. We’re adding a critical option that didn’t exist before, one that allows an officer or civilian to respond proportionately to a potential lethal threat while staying in control and not sacrificing their lethal protection.

No other solution combines immediate availability, intermediate-force delivery, and instant reversion to lethal readiness. This differentiation, combined with our product classification and patents portfolio across the U.S. and internationally, creates what we believe is a strong, defensible position in a market with no direct equivalent.

Product Classification

In August 2023, we received a formal product classification from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) through its Firearm Technology Industry Services Branch (“FTISB”) in response to the Company’s request regarding The Alternative®. The ATF concluded that The Alternative® does not constitute “ammunition” or a “firearm” under the Gun Control Act of 1968 (“GCA”) and is not a “destructive device” under the National Firearms Act of 1934 (“NFA”). As a result, the product is not regulated as a controlled device under these statutes. A copy of the ATF classification determination is included as an exhibit to this Annual Report.

This determination reduces regulatory constraints that would otherwise apply to the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of controlled firearms or ammunition. As a result, we’re able to sell The Alternative® in interstate commerce without the federal licensing requirements associated with products regulated under the GCA or NFA. We believe this classification facilitates broader commercialization efforts, including streamlined domestic distribution and greater flexibility in sourcing components. For example, if the product had been classified as a controlled device, we could have been subject to additional licensing requirements and restrictions on importation, distribution, and resale.

While the ATF classification applies within the United States, regulatory treatment of the product may vary in international jurisdictions, where we may be subject to local licensing or compliance requirements.

In June 2025, we received a commodity classification determination from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”), which classified The Alternative® as EAR99. This designation generally permits export to most end users under No License Required (“NLR”), subject to standard restrictions for certain countries and prohibited end users. We believe this classification will support its international expansion by reducing export-related regulatory burdens and enabling more efficient global distribution.

Intellectual Property Portfolio

Our competitive position is supported by a growing intellectual property portfolio designed to protect our core less-lethal technology platform and related applications across professional and consumer markets.

We have been granted six issued U.S. patents covering key aspects of its less-lethal bullet-capture system and its mechanisms related to deployment, energy mitigation, and firearm integration. These patents are intended to protect the underlying design and functional operation of our proprietary technology. We’ve also achieved the issuance of two continuation applications by the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office (“USPTO”) that allow our family of patents to expand with new inventions.

In addition to the U.S. patents, we have filed patent applications in 16 additional countries, including through the European Patent Organization, covering key international markets. These filings are intended to extend protection for our core technology in jurisdictions aligned with its planned commercial and distribution strategy.

Our intellectual property strategy is focused on protecting both its current product architecture and future product iterations, including applications across law enforcement, military, private security, and civilian self-defense markets. We believe our patent portfolio provides meaningful barriers to entry and supports its long-term competitive position within the less-lethal technology sector.

We continue to evaluate additional filings and enhancements to its intellectual property portfolio as its products are further commercialized and deployed across domestic and international markets.

Global Distribution Network

We have established an expanding international distribution network intended to support market penetration across professional law enforcement, military, and security markets. As of the date of this filing, we have entered into agreements with 28 distribution partners representing 48 countries across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Our distribution strategy is focused on partnering with organizations that possess existing relationships within law enforcement, military, and government procurement channels in their respective jurisdictions. These relationships are intended to facilitate product demonstrations, pilot programs, local regulatory review, training integration, and potential future procurement opportunities.

Initial product samples have been shipped to multiple international markets for presentations, testing, evaluation, and local classification purposes. We believe our international distribution network provides a scalable foundation for future commercial expansion while reducing the need to establish direct operational infrastructure in each target market.

In addition, we believe our favorable regulatory determinations, including its EAR99 classification by the U.S. Department of Commerce, support its ability to efficiently supply international markets without many of the export restrictions commonly associated with traditional weapons systems.

Experienced Leadership & Advisors

Our leadership team combines experience across public markets, law enforcement, operations, finance, and strategic growth initiatives.

Management and advisors collectively bring decades of experience in public company operations, investor relations, capital markets, financial management, law enforcement operations, training, and public policy. We believe this combination of operational and capital markets experience is important as it transitions from product development into commercialization and public company execution.

Our board and advisory network include individuals with experience in less-lethal technologies, municipal leadership, corporate governance, financial oversight, and public safety operations. This includes former public company executives, law enforcement professionals, and government officials who provide strategic guidance related to commercialization, training, market expansion, regulatory considerations, and long-term corporate development.

We believe our leadership structure and advisory relationships strengthen its ability to execute our commercialization strategy, expand market awareness, and navigate the operational and regulatory requirements associated with scaling within the public safety and personal defense industries.

Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy is focused on expanding adoption of its patented less-lethal technology platform across both professional and civilian markets while continuing to strengthen its operational and public market position.

Professional Market Expansion

We intend to continue expanding within domestic law enforcement, military, and private security markets through product demonstrations, pilot programs, training initiatives, and direct engagement with agencies and procurement decision-makers.

Our strategy is centered on increasing product familiarity, operational validation, and departmental confidence through hands-on demonstrations and structured training programs. We believe that successful pilot deployments and field evaluations may support broader agency adoption over time.

International Expansion

We intend to continue expanding internationally through its existing distribution network and strategic partnerships. As of the date of this filing, we have entered into agreements with 28 distribution partners representing 48 countries.

Our international strategy focuses on leveraging local distribution relationships to support product demonstrations, market education, regulatory classification efforts, and potential procurement opportunities within foreign law enforcement and security markets.

Recurring Revenue Model

Our business model is designed to generate both initial equipment revenue and recurring revenue opportunities associated with training, certification, recertification, product replenishment, and replacement equipment.

We believe recurring training requirements and replenishment demand may support long-term customer engagement and create ongoing revenue opportunities following initial product adoption.

Commercial Market Launch

We intend to commercially launch The Home Defense™ product into the civilian self-defense market through targeted retail and training-related distribution channels.

Our initial strategy includes distribution through privately owned firearm ranges, certified concealed carry training providers, and select retail partners. Following initial market entry, we intend to pursue broader commercial expansion through additional retail relationships and e-commerce distribution channels.

Public Market Growth and Uplisting

We intend to continue strengthening its position in the public markets through operational execution, regulatory compliance, investor outreach, and strategic communications initiatives.

Our long-term objective includes pursuing qualification for listing on a national securities exchange, subject to meeting applicable financial, operational, governance, and listing requirements.

Professional Market

We have taken various steps to launch our product in the LLA global market, which include ballistic testing to achieve compliance with industry standards for impact energy, establishing training protocols and deployment guidelines, and receiving product classification from the ATF. The first steps, with regard to ballistics testing, involved R&D to assess the functionality of the device including velocity, precision, and impact energy. The first round of tests was completed in June 2021, and additional tests were conducted throughout 2022.

Upon completion of the tests, we then submitted a formal request to the ATF for product classification, which we received in August 2023 ruling that the product is not a controlled device under the agency’s regulatory purview over ammunition, firearms, and destructive devices. This ruling helps to alleviate the need for licensing on domestic sales and removes manufacturing restrictions, which could have adversely affected business initiatives if the product was considered to be ammunition by the ATF.

The test results guided the process by which our team created our training program, such as establishing deployment guidelines, safe handling procedures, and optimal range. Our training program was designed by our team of law enforcement professionals and follows best practices in the law enforcement industry with a format and qualification cadence that is similar to other less lethal tools that are commonly used in the current market.

Once the testing and training program were completed, we were ready to introduce our product to the market. The steps that we have taken to launch have included exhibitions at trade shows and scheduling live demonstrations with departments throughout the U.S. and several countries in South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. We have been consistently scheduling demonstrations with interested departments, and additional capital raised will allow us to continue executing its global expansion strategy.

In preparation of our global outreach, we expanded our patent protection internationally in 2024 through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) Application process, where we now have patents filed in 16 countries outside of the U.S. One of these includes the European Patent Organization (“EPO”) that includes 39 member states under its umbrella of protection.

In 2024, we significantly enhanced our marketing efforts, improved our training presentation format, and launched special projects to build awareness of our product. This included new video content, outreach campaigns, new training materials, and video productions of live demonstrations and actual training classes. Our Chief Executive Officer volunteered to be the first human to stand downrange and take a live shot from The Alternative®, which was documented as a professional video production, and as a further human effects study, we commissioned a video of live shots on an organic ballistic torso to demonstrate the safety and viability of our device. In all instances, The Alternative® performed as intended, and as a result of expanded marketing efforts, we have significantly enhanced the interest in our product in the U.S. and abroad. Since 2025, we launched a new website, established a global pipeline through our distribution partners with opportunities in over 40 countries, and certified over 25 current and former law enforcement officers in the domestic and international jurisdictions, including Texas, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Florida, Brazil, Australia, and Ecuador.

As with any new force technology, the rate of adoption by law enforcement is deliberate and slow due to initial concerns and lack of general knowledge on new products. With wider adoption and demonstrable success in the field, we expect the sales cycle to be shortened. We continue to receive consistent positive feedback from department representatives in attendance for each demonstration once officers have a better understanding of use case application and the ease of use surrounding the functionality of the device, however, department concerns, such as being early adopters, not having enough real-world deployment data, additional training requirements, and in some instances, budgetary or political concerns, have presented material obstacles that we plan to overcome with new market traction.

In 2026, we are focused domestically on getting our training course credentialed by national and state certification programs, and internationally, we’ve begun introducing a paid pilot program to selected agencies that is generating positive feedback. If we are successful in certifying our training course, and if this pilot program begins being implemented in various jurisdictions, we believe these objectives may create early revenue generation and produce valuable, official product evaluations to build credibility and momentum in our overall global strategy.

Training and Certification Program

Our team developed the ABC Training and Certification Program in collaboration with legal advisors and law enforcement professionals to support safe deployment and operational integration of The Alternative®. The program is structured as a “train-the-trainer” certification course conducted by our approved law enforcement instructors. The training includes classroom instruction, written examination, live-fire exercises, deployment protocols, and qualification procedures.

The purpose of the program is to certify departmental training personnel and provide agencies with operational materials, including training manuals, lesson plans, qualification procedures, policy guidance, and instructional content. The program focuses on safe handling procedures, deployment techniques, risk mitigation protocols, and development of operational familiarity and muscle memory associated with deployment of the product.

Officers are generally required to complete certification training prior to carrying The Alternative® on duty and are expected to complete periodic requalification requirements. Department trainers are also expected to complete recertification periodically in accordance with our training standards.

Recurring Revenue Model

We expect to generate revenue from initial product sales, including The Alternative® units, related accessories, and training services. We also expect to pursue recurring revenue opportunities associated with recertification programs, annual qualification requirements, replenishment products following deployment, replacement equipment, and ongoing training support. If successful, the recurring training and replenishment model may support long-term customer engagement following initial adoption

Commercial Market

We intend to market The Home Defense™ to civilian firearm owners seeking an additional less-lethal option for home and personal protection. We believe the civilian self-defense market represents a significant opportunity due to its size, accessibility, and shorter purchasing cycles relative to institutional procurement channels.

We aim to make firearms safer with the goal of reducing gun deaths, specifically those caused by semi-automatic pistols. Whether it is an accidental round fired by a minor in the home or a deployment of lethal force in a self-defense encounter, The Home Defense™ exists to provide a potential alternative to fatal outcomes in these types of incidents.

In the commercial market, it is recommended that The Home Defense™ unit remain mounted to the firearm while it is safely stored in the home, where it would immediately be ready as a less-lethal option for home-defense. The recommendation of keeping the attachment mounted may also serve to make the gun safer, as mentioned above, for the possible prevention of unintentional gun deaths, which the U.S. sees on average approximately 500 per year.¹⁰

Unintentional gun deaths include a wide range of incidents, such as accidental discharge when cleaning or reloading, hunting mistakes, unintentional victims of a shootout and stray bullets, but perhaps the most preventable incidents are those involving children or young people observing or playing with a firearm in the house while unsupervised. A study looked at unintentional gun deaths in the U.S. from 2005 to 2015,¹¹ and of the estimated 430 annual fatalities during this period, 28.3% of the incidents included playing with the gun, and 17.2% included thinking the gun was unloaded. In these incidents, the rates were highest in children and young adults, ages 10 to 29.

Our initial commercial strategy is focused on targeted market introduction through firearm training environments and specialty retail channels that provide direct access to engaged firearm owners. We believe this approach may support product education, consumer familiarity, and early-stage adoption while allowing us to gather customer feedback during initial market rollout.

Our initial intent is to distribute The Home Defense™ through privately owned firearm ranges, certified concealed carry training providers, and select firearms-related retail channels. Over time, we intend to expand distribution opportunities through additional retail partnerships and commercial distribution relationships.

Research shows that consumer demand for less-lethal and self-defense products has increased alongside broader interest in personal safety, home protection, and liability-conscious self-defense alternatives. Based on the strength of firearm sales and a product offering that gives consumers a controlled force option without sacrificing lethal protection, we believe that there’s a strong consumers market that is seeking additional defensive options designed to provide an opportunity to establish intent or potentially reduce the likelihood of severe or fatal outcomes prior to the use of lethal force.

Following initial commercial rollout, we intend to pursue e-commerce expansion to support broader direct-to-consumer availability, subject to applicable legal, regulatory, and distribution considerations. We believe that e-commerce channels may provide scalable customer access, expanded geographic reach, and increased brand visibility within the civilian market.

Thorough Ballistics Testing

Our technology has undergone extensive ballistics testing, including being the first unit in June 2021 to go through the newly published standard test method ASTM E3276, in addition to Penetration Assessment of Less Lethal Munitions (PALLM) and NIJ 0101.06 (Modified) Body Armor to assess intervening materials. All tests were conducted by NTS, one of the nation’s most prominent NIJ-accredited ballistic labs. In 2022, we began working with an independent ballistics’ science firm, Sydor Technologies, to assess the level of testing performed by NTS and advise on additional tests needed to prepare The Alternative® for introduction to the market.

Through the work by Sydor, it was determined that we needed to modify the dimensions of our projectile to decrease velocity so that its impact energy aligns within the range of industry accepted levels of risk for blunt trauma. This modification resulted in reducing velocity by up to 70 feet per second (ft/s), from an average velocity of 275 to 280 ft/s down to an average velocity of 210 to 220 ft/s for the 9mm projectile and 220 to 235 ft/s for the .40 caliber projectile. All velocity testing was conducted by NTS in Belcamp, MD.

This modification to the projectile design caused delays in getting the product to market and incurred significant cost, however, the changes were critical, and our management team did what was necessary to ensure that The Alternative® would be safe and effective for use in the field. The additional tests conducted by NTS under Sydor’s observation included another ASTM-E3276 to assess the precision, velocity, and impact energy of the newly modified projectile, in which it performed extremely well in all categories. The new projectiles were also analyzed for injury assessment that was conducted by Dr. Cynthia Bir at Wayne State University Biomedical Engineering Research facilities. The tests at Wayne State included an f-BTTR surrogate that was previously validated to respond similarly to an average size male and was able to measure the maximum viscous criterion (VCmax), a blunt trauma injury metric and correlate it with a percent risk of certain injuries. As represented in the velocity and risk of injury tables below, it is clear that the modifications to the projectile were successful based on the lower velocities and low risk of severe blunt trauma injury. Based on the results of the ballistics data, we were able to develop its deployment protocols and establish primary, secondary, and restricted target areas of the human body.

Velocity testing was conducted by NTS and the Velocity Tables above were prepared by Sydor Technologies using the velocity measurements at muzzle and at 1 meter from the target. The drag curve was then used to calculate the velocities in 5 ft increments from muzzle to 35 ft.

VCmax measurements were completed at Wayne State University, and the risk of injury percentages were prepared by Sydor Technologies. The target areas of the Human Body were prepared by Alternative Ballistics Corporation, based on the cumulative results of all ballistics tests conducted and incorporated therein into the Company’s training program.

Manufacturing and Production

We are currently able to manufacture the projectiles both domestically and internationally. The docking units are currently manufactured domestically. While there can be no guarantees regarding product costs and/or suppliers, our team continues to explore contingency options, should any disruptions occur with our current suppliers. We outsource via contract manufacturing (“CM”) to multiple vendors so that we limit our reliance on a sole source.

We have multiple suppliers for each component of our platform, which includes the alloy projectile, the plastic docking unit, and the custom holster. Once the projectiles and docking units are produced, we have an in-house assembly and shipping operation. Our goal is to have a significant volume of product ready to supply departments with necessary quantities in a timely manner, however, the volatility of the shipping industry, including freight and fuel costs, backlog, and delays may adversely impact our manufacturing, production, and supply operations.

Competition

The global non-lethal weapons market was valued at approximately $9.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach approximately $15.8 billion by 2033, according to Grand View Research.¹ The market includes a range of products and technologies used by law enforcement, defense, security and civilian customers. Leading companies in the space include, but are not limited to, Combined Systems, Inc.; Amtec Less-Lethal Systems, Inc.; Nonlethal Technologies, Inc.; Wrap Technologies, Inc.; and Axon Enterprise, Inc. Unlike us, these companies have established operations and significant historical data upon which to evaluate their businesses.

All aforementioned companies produce standalone devices. In contrast, our product attaches to the firearm (an already held device on an officer’s duty belt), giving an operator the flexibility of a multi-purpose tool. We believe that this key differentiator allows us to not compete for market share but rather carve out a new segment of the market for our next generation technology.
