NOTES
TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH
31, 2205
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 – PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On May 3, 2024, the SEC entered an order instituting settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”) and its sole audit partner, Benjamin F. Borgers CPA, permanently barring Mr. Borgers and Borgers (collectively, “BF Borgers”) from appearing or practicing before the SEC as an accountant (the “Order”). As a result of the Order, BF Borgers may no longer serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, nor can BF Borgers issue any audit reports included in Commission filings or provide consents with respect to audit reports.
As reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 6, 2024, in light of the Order, the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company on May 6, 2024, unanimously approved to dismiss, and dismissed BF Borgers as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
On May 14, 2024, the Committee approved the engagement of GBQ Partners LLC (“GBQ”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and the reaudits of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
The Company filed its Form 10-K/A with the reaudits of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 with the SEC on January 29, 2025.
The Company has included the comparative three months ended March 31, 2024 in this filing; however, these figures have not been restated due to the undue burden it would place on the Company. Additionally, the Company has not restated its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024 due to the undue burden this would also have on the Company. The impact of any adjustments to the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 were included in the three months ended September 30, 2024 Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity/(deficit) and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the accompanying notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 should not be relied upon.
NOTE
2 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Company was incorporated on December 15, 2014, under the laws of the State of Nevada, as CubeScape, Inc. Effective January 5, 2017, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed its name to American Rebel Holdings, Inc. On June 19, 2017, the Company completed a business combination with its majority stockholder, American Rebel, Inc. As a result, American Rebel, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Nature of Operations
The Company develops and sells branded products in the self-defense, safe storage and other patriotic product areas using a wholesale distribution network, utilizing personal appearances, musical venue performances, as well e-commerce and television. The Company’s products are marketed under the American Rebel Brand and are proudly imprinted with such branding. Through its “Champion Entities” (which consists of Champion Safe Co., Inc., Superior Safe, LLC, Safe Guard Security Products, LLC, and Champion Safe De Mexico, S.A. de C.V.), the Company promotes and sells its safe and storage products through a growing network of dealers, in select regional retailers and local specialty safe, sporting goods, hunting and firearms retail outlets, as well as through online avenues, including website and e-commerce platforms. The Company sells its products under the Champion Safe Co., Superior Safe Company and Safe Guard Safe Co. brands as well as the American Rebel Brand. On August 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Master Brewing Agreement (the “Brewing Agreement”) with Associated Brewing Company, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Associated Brewing”). Under the terms of the Brewing Agreement, Associated Brewing has been appointed as the exclusive producer and seller of American Rebel branded spirits, with the initial product being the American Rebel Light Beer (“American Rebel Beer”). The Company established American Rebel Beverages, LLC as a wholly-owned subsidiary to hold the licenses with respect to the beer business. American Rebel Beer launched in 2024.

To varying degrees, the development of geopolitical conflicts, supply chain disruptions, government actions to slow rapid inflation in recent years and predictable sales cycles have produced varying effects on the business. The economic effects from these events over the long term cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Accordingly, estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements, including those associated with the evaluation of certain long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, expected credit losses on amounts owed to the Company (through accounts receivable) and the estimations of certain losses assumed under warranty and other liability contracts, may be subject to significant adjustments in future periods.
Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the SEC set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read along with the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2024, and notes thereto contained, filed on April 9, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, American Rebel, Inc., American Rebel Beverages, LLC, and the Champion Entities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Year-end
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.
Inventory and Inventory Deposits
Finished goods inventory primarily consists of backpacks, jackets, and related accessories, safes, and packaged beer available for sale. Raw materials primarily consists of component parts used in the assembly of safes and packaging materials. Apart from safes, the Company’s finished goods are manufactured or otherwise produced by outside parties to the Company’s specifications. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost (First-in, First-out Method) or net realizable value. The Company determines an estimate for the reserve of slow moving or obsolete inventories by regularly evaluating individual inventory levels, projected sales and current economic conditions. From time-to-time, the Company makes deposit payments on certain inventory purchases that are presented separately in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as inventory deposits until the goods are received into inventory.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Additions and improvements are capitalized while ordinary maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, which ranges from five to fifteen years.
| 8 |
| --- |
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps: (1) Identify the contract with a client; (2) Identify the performanceobligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in thecontract; and (5) Recognize revenues when or as the company satisfies a performance obligation.
These steps are met when an order is received, a price is agreed to, and the product is shipped or delivered to that customer. Additionally, the Company offers extended warranties for the locking mechanism of its safes, which are separately purchased by customers. Warranty income is recognized over time based on the estimated useful life of the locks, which approximates 10 years. Unrecognized warranty income is presented as deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Warranty income recognized was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The
carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for bad debts and expected credit losses, as necessary, that reflects management’s best estimate of the amount that will not be collected. This estimation takes into consideration historical experience, current conditions and, as applicable, reasonable supportable forecasts. Actual results could vary from the estimate. Accounts are charged against the allowance when management deems them to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $221,000 and $315,000 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Net accounts receivable was $1,277,635, $1,170,944 and $2,674,540 at March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2024, respectively.
The following table sets forth the approximate percentage of revenue by primary category:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.
Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.
| 9 |
| --- |
Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718, which requires the Company to recognize expense related to the grant date fair value of its employee stock awards. The Company recognizes the cost of employee share-based awards over the requisite service period, which represents the vesting period of the award. Stock-based compensation primarily relates to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock awards.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from non-employees in accordance with ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by ASC 505-50.
Earnings Per Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by ASC 260 - Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year and the effect of pre-funded warrants issued. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. Because the Company incurred net losses for each of the years presented, the effect of dilutive securities, excluding pre-funded warrants, have been excluded as the effect on EPS is antidilutive.
Fully diluted shares outstanding is the total number of shares that the Company would theoretically have if all dilutive securities were exercised and converted into shares. Dilutive securities include options, warrants, convertible debt, preferred stock and anything else that can be converted into shares. Potential dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of dilutive securities, calculated using the treasury stock method. The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding excludes out-of-the-money options (i.e., such options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares for the period) because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be antidilutive.

| --- |
Income Taxes
The Company follows ASC Topic 740 for recording provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the changes in the asset or liability for each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income tax in the period of change. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, no income tax expense has been recorded given significant losses incurred and resulting valuation allowance on such losses.
Deferred income tax may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 only allows the recognition of tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company reviewed its tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore this standard has not had a material effect on the Company. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months and maintains sufficient net operating loss carryforwards in the event uncertain tax positions are identified. As necessary, the Company classifies tax-related penalties and net interest as income tax expense.
Leases
ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as a Right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability and requires leases to be classified as either an operating or a finance type lease. The standard excludes leases of intangible assets or inventory. The Company elected the practical expedient related to treating lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all equipment leases as well as electing a policy exclusion permitting leases with an original lease term of less than one year to be excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities.
Under ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and is recorded net of any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options.
Operating leases are included in operating lease Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, current and non-current, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company had no financing leases as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This update modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification to conform with certain SEC amendments in Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively, and the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or S-K becomes effective. However, if the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations by June 30, 2027, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Concentration Risk
The Company did not have any vendor or customer concentrations as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
NOTE
3 – GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As noted above, the Company is in the growth and acquisition stage and, accordingly, has not yet reached profitability from its operations. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in financing activities and executing its plan of operations and incurring costs and expenses related to product development, branding, inventory buildup and product launch. As a result, the Company has continued to incur significant net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 of ($5,059,256) and ($2,701,278), respectively. The Company’s accumulated deficit was ($70,145,456) as of March 31, 2025 and ($65,086,200) as of December 31, 2024. The Company’s working capital deficit was $(9,447,971) as of March 31, 2025, compared to a working capital deficit of $(8,940,228) as of December 31, 2024.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise capital from the sale of its equity and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues and profitability.
Management believes that sufficient funding can be secured through the obtaining of loans, as well as future offerings of its preferred and common stock. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will obtain this additional working capital, or if obtained, that such funding will not cause substantial dilution to its existing stockholders. As indicated in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements, most of the current debt instruments are charging high interest rates. These interest payments and/or premium repayments and prepayments may make it difficult for the Company to enter into new debt agreements. If the Company is unable to secure such additional funds from these sources, it may be forced to change or delay some of its business objectives and efforts. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

| Total Inventory | $ | 4,203,422 | $ | 4,555,311 |
The Company accounts for excess and obsolete inventory with a reserve that is established based on management’s estimates of the net realizable value of the related products. These reserves are product specific and are based upon analyses of product lines that are slow moving or expected to become obsolete due to significant product enhancements.
When inventory is physically disposed of, the Company accounts for the write-offs by making a debit to the reserve and a credit to inventory for the standard cost of the inventory item. The valuation reserve is applied as an estimate to specific product lines. Since the inventory item retains its standard cost until it is either sold or written off, the reserve estimates will differ from the actual write-off. There were no material write-offs or inventory reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Included
in finished goods is approximately $132,000 and $162,000 in finished products related to our American Rebel branded beer lager as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. This inventory is immediately available to the consumer and for distribution.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company, in connection with various employment and independent directors’ agreements, is required to issue shares of its common stock as payment for services performed or to be performed. The value of the shares issued is determined by the fair value of the Company’s common stock that trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market. This value on the date of grant is afforded to the Company for the recording of stock compensation to employees and other related parties or control persons and the recognition of this expense over the period in which the services were incurred or performed. Most of the Company’s agreement for stock compensation provide for services performed to have been satisfied by the initial grant, thereby incurring the cost immediately from the grant.
Stock-based
compensation is presented in accordance with the guidance of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under the provisions of ASC 718, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our statements of operations. Where the stock-based compensation is not an award, option, warrant or other common stock equivalent, the Company values the shares based on fair value with respect to its grant date and the price that investors may have been paying for the Company’s common stock on that date in its various exempt private placement offerings. Stock-based compensation expense totaled $164,063 and $1,134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and primarily relates to the aforementioned Series A preferred stock awards.
Taxable value of the stock-based compensation is recorded in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service’s regulations as it pertains to employees, control persons and others whereby they receive share-based payments. This may not always align with what the Company records these issuances in accordance with GAAP. There are no provisional tax agreements or gross-up provisions with respect to any of our share-based payments to these entities. The payment or withholding of taxes is strictly left to the recipient of the share-based payments, or the modification of share-based payments.
Director’s Note
On
June 28, 2024, the Company entered into a short-term loan with a director, Lawrence Sinks (“Mr. Sinks”), evidenced by a promissory note in the principal amount of $400,000 (the “Director’s Note”). Proceeds from the Director’s Note are to be utilized solely by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, American Rebel Beverages, LLC. The Director’s Note was due on September 30, 2024, with a repayment amount of $520,000. As of March 31, 2025, the note had not been repaid and remained outstanding, of which $400,000 is presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet within Loan – Director – related party, and the remaining $120,000 within accrued interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
NOTE
7 – LINE OF CREDIT – FINANCIAL INSTITUTION
During
February 2023, the Company entered into a $2 million master credit agreement (credit facility) with Bank of America (“LOC”). The LOC accrues interest at a rate determined by the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (“BSBY”) Daily Floating Rate plus 2.05 percentage points (which at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for the Company was 6.93% and 7.25%, respectively), and is secured by all the assets of the Champion Entities. The LOC originally expired February 28, 2024, and was extended to April 30, 2024. The following table shows outstanding amounts due under the LOC:

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the total balance due of $1,842,129 and $1,992,129, respectively, is reported as current as the LOC was to be repaid within one year, with subsequent drawdowns as needed by the Company.
Upon inception the Company paid a one-time
loan fee equal to 0.1% of the LOC amount available. In the likelihood of default, the default interest automatically increases to 6% over the BSBY plus an additional 2.05% rate.
The
balance at the maturity was approximately $1.9 million and access to the line of credit with Bank of America was terminated.
On July 25, 2024, the Company received a notice of default and demand for payment from Bank of America regarding the Company’s Line of Credit. The Company is currently negotiating a forbearance or other cure to the default and a plan for repayment of the credit facility within 60 to 90 days with its assigned relationship manager at the bank. As discussed further in Note 12, Bank of America has filed a complaint in the Fourth Judicial District Court in and for Utah County, State of Utah (Case No. 250401345) against the Company and its subsidiaries.

8 – NOTES PAYABLE – WORKING CAPITAL
The Company has several working capital loan agreements in place, which are described in detail below.
SCHEDULE
OF WORKING CAPITAL
| December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Working capital loan agreement with a limited liability company domiciled in the state of Virginia. The working capital loan requires an initial payment of 13,881.78 on June 30, 2024 with eight (8) additional payments of 13,881.78 on the 30th of each month following funding. The working capital loan was due and payable on February 28, 2025. The working capital loan has an effective interest rate of 18.8% without taking into account the 12% original issue discount charged upon entering into the loan. This working capital loan has a conversion right associated with it in the case of an Event of Default as that term is defined below. The conversion price subject to the conversion right allows the holder of the working capital loan to receive shares not subject to Rule 144 issued as full payment for principal and (all) accrued interest at a 25% discount to market, and that market price is the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) trading days prior to the notice of conversion by the holder. No Black Scholes calculation has been made with respect to the working capital loan as the Event of Default is highly unlikely. The holder of the working capital loan has required the Company to hold sufficient enough shares in reserve to satisfy the conversion at a factor of four (4) for one (1). The loan was converted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 at a conversion rate of 0.825 for 62,930 shares of common stock. | - | 40,369 | |
| The Company has entered a number of working capital loan agreements structured as Revenue Interest Purchase Agreements (“revenue participation interest”, “RIP”). These working capital loans provided for a purchase of an ownership interest in the revenues of our Champion subsidiary. The revenue participation interest requires payments ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 per month until the revenue participation interest is repurchased by the Company. The revenue participation interest is subject to a repurchase option by the Company. The repurchase price during the initial period ranges from 70,313 to 562,500. The repurchase price of the loans increases to 75,938 to 607,500 after the initial period has passed. The repurchase price is reduced by any revenue payments paid by the Company to the lender prior the loan being paid in full. The Revenue Interest Purchase Agreement also required the Company to make payments commencing after June 1, 2024 ranging from 3.86% to 15.45% of the net proceeds received by the Company from the Regulation A Offering. In the event of default, the Company is obligated to pay an additional 25% of any and all amounts due, immediately. Two of the RIP agreements converted a potion of the amount due to the Company’s Series D Preferred stock. | 675,000 | 675,000 | |
| On November 11, 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase and Exchange Agreement among an investor (the “Purchaser”) and Altbanq Lending LLC (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Seller a portion (150,469.11) of a promissory note dated March 27, 2024 in the original principal amount of 1,330,000 (the “Note”), with a current balance payable of 1,229,350 (the “Note Balance”). Contemporaneously with assignment of the assigned note portion to the Purchaser, the Company exchanged the 150,469.11 of assigned note portion for 78,615 shares of the Company’s common stock as a 3(a)(9) exchange. At any time during the ninety days after the initial closing, the Purchaser may purchase additional portions of the Note, at one or more closing, by sending an additional closing notice in the amount set forth in the additional note notice and the Company will exchange such additional portions for shares of its common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid 120,046 in interest expense and converted a balance of 777,666 into 278,596 shares of common stock, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of 411,718. | 301,215 | 1,078,881 | |
| Standard Merchant Cash Advance Agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”), with an accredited investor lending source (“Financier”). Under the Factoring Agreement, our wholly-owned subsidiary sold to Financier a specified percentage of its future receipts (as defined by the Factoring Agreement, which include any and future revenues of Champion Safe Company, Inc. (“Champion”), another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company) equal to 357,500 for 250,000, less origination and other fees of 12,500. Our wholly-owned subsidiary agrees to repay this purchased receivable amount in equal weekly installments of 17,875. Financier has specified customary collection procedures for the collection and remittance of the weekly payable amount including direct payments from specified authorized bank accounts.

12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, various claims and lawsuits, incidental to the ordinary course of our business, may be brought against the Company. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, resolution of any of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On July 23, 2024, the Company received notice of a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah by Liberty Safe and Security Products, Inc. (“Liberty”), in connection with the marketing and sale of the Company’s and its subsidiaries, Champion Safe Company, Inc., line of safe products. As of the date of this Report, the complaint has not been served on the Company or Champion Safe. In the complaint, Liberty alleges trademark infringement as a result of the purported use of the term “Freedom” in the sale of safes, federal false designation of origin and unfair competition, violation of Utah deceptive trade practices, Utah unfair competition, and damages to Liberty. Management believes that this lawsuit is without merit; however has initiated settlement discussions with Liberty and anticipates an amicable settlement to be forthcoming. At this time, Management does not believe a settlement with Liberty will have a material effect on its business or financial condition.
As reported by the Company in the Form 8-K dated August 7, 2024, during February 2023, the Company entered into a $2 million master credit agreement (credit facility) with Bank of America. The credit facility is secured by all the assets of the Company’s Champion subsidiaries and guaranteed by the Company, the Champion subsidiaries and the Company’s CEO. The Line of Credit expired on February 28, 2024, but the Company and Champion Safe Company have been actively working with the bank to extend or modify the credit facility. Despite being current on all payments under the credit facility and actively working with the bank for a long-term solution to repay the credit facility, on July 25, 2024, Champion Safe Company received a notice of default and demand for payment from the bank. On March 21, 2025, Bank of America filed a complaint in the Fourth Judicial District Court in and for Utah County, State of Utah (Case No. 250401345) against the Company and its subsidiaries (Champion Safe Company, Inc., American Rebel, Inc., Superior Safe Co., L.L.C. and Safe Guard Security Products LC) alleging four causes of action related to the credit facility: (i) Breach of the Loan Documents – Champion Safe; (ii) Breach of the Loan Documents – Guarantors (the Company, American Rebel, Inc., Superior Safe Co., L.L.C. and Safe Guard Security Products LC); (iii) Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing – all parties; and (iv) Unjust Enrichment – Champion Safe. The Company plans to defend the complaint, while continuing to work with Bank of American on a settlement.
Contractual Obligations
The
Company does not believe there are any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 there were no outstanding letters of credit issued during the normal course of business. These letters of credit could reduce the Company’s available borrowings. The amount due on the line of credit as of March 31, 2025 was $1,842,129. The Company is currently not in compliance with its terms and covenants.
Nasdaq Compliance
On February 19, 2025, the Company received a notification letter Nasdaq stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) because the stockholders’ equity of the Company as of September 30, 2024, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on February 7, 2025, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). The Notification Letter has no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, the Company has 45 calendar days (until April 7, 2025), to submit a plan to evidence compliance with the Rule (a “Compliance Plan”). The Company intends to submit a Compliance Plan within the required time, although there can be no assurance that the Compliance Plan will be accepted by Nasdaq. If the Compliance Plan is accepted by Nasdaq, the Company will be granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days from February 19, 2025 to evidence compliance with the Rule. In the event the Compliance Plan is not accepted by Nasdaq, or in the event the Compliance Plan is accepted but the Company fails to evidence compliance within the extension period, the Company will have the right to a hearing before Nasdaq’s Hearing Panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing. The Company submitted the Compliance Plan on April 7, 2025, will continue to monitor its stockholders’ equity and, if appropriate, consider further available options to evidence compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

Executive Employment Agreements and Independent Contractor Agreements
The Company has written employment agreements with various other executive officers. All payments made to its executive officers and significant outside service providers are analyzed and determined by the board of directors’ compensation committee; some payments made to independent contractors (or officer payments characterized as non-employee compensation) may be subject to backup withholding or general withholding of payroll taxes, may make the Company responsible for the withholding and remittance of those taxes. Generally outside service providers are responsible for their own withholding and payment of taxes. Certain state taxing authorities may otherwise disagree with that analysis and Company policy.
NOTE
13 – SEGMENT REPORTING
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance.
The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment engaged in patriotic goods comprised of safes, soft goods, and beer. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as the CODM, regularly reviews the entity-wide financial and operational performance as a single unit. No financial information is disaggregated into separate lines of business. The CODM makes resource allocation and business process decisions regarding the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy the resources.
The single segment’s principal measure of segment profit and loss is consolidated revenue, gross margin, and total operating expenses. The CODM considers actual and forecasted numbers when evaluating performance.

FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections. We may use words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “project,” “position,” “intend,” “target,” “plan,” “seek,” “believe,” “foresee,” “outlook,” “estimate” and variations of these words and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | our<br> ability to maintain compliance with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq; |
|---|
| 27 |
| --- | | ● | the<br> effect of new tariffs on our business and financial condition; | | --- | --- | | ● | we<br> consummated the purchase of our safe manufacturer and sales organizations, and future acquisitions and operations of new manufacturing<br> facilities and/or sales organizations might prove unsuccessful and could fail; | | ● | risk<br> that we will not be able to remediate identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure<br> controls and procedures; | | ● | our<br> failure to timely file certain periodic reports with the SEC and our prior restatements have had, and may in the future have further,<br> material adverse consequences to our business, our financial condition, results of operations and our cash flows; | | ● | our<br> success depends on our ability to introduce new products that track customer preferences; | | ● | if<br> we are unable to protect our intellectual property, we may lose a competitive advantage or incur substantial litigation costs to<br> protect our rights; | | ● | as<br> a significant portion of our revenues are derived by demand for our safes and the personal security products for firearms storage,<br> we depend on the availability and regulation of ammunition and firearm storage; | | ● | as<br> we continue to integrate the purchase of our safe manufacturer and sales organization, any compromised operational capacity may affect<br> our ability to meet the demand for our safes, which in turn may affect our generation of revenue; | | ● | shortages<br> of components and materials, as well as supply chain disruptions, may delay or reduce our sales and increase our costs, thereby harming<br> our results of operations; | | ● | we<br> do not have long-term purchase commitments from our customers, and their ability to cancel, reduce, or delay orders could reduce<br> our revenue and increase our costs; | | ● | our<br> inability to effectively meet our short- and long-term obligations; | | ● | given<br> our limited corporate history, it is difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects, and increases the risks associated<br> with an investment in our securities; | | ● | our<br> inability to raise additional financing for working capital; | | ● | our<br> ability to generate sufficient revenue in our targeted markets to support operations; | | ● | significant<br> dilution resulting from our financing activities; | | ● | the<br> actions and initiatives taken by both current and potential competitors; | | ● | our<br> ability to diversify our operations; | | ● | the<br> fact that our accounting policies and methods are fundamental to how we report our financial condition and results of operations,<br> and they may require management to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain; | | ● | changes<br> in U.S. GAAP or in the legal, regulatory and legislative environments in the markets in which we operate; | | ● | the<br> deterioration in general of global economic, market and political conditions; | | ● | the<br> inability to efficiently manage our operations; | | ● | the<br> inability to achieve future operating results; | | ● | the<br> unavailability of funds for capital expenditures; | | ● | the<br> inability of management to effectively implement our strategies and business plans; and | | ● | the<br> other risks and uncertainties detailed in this report. |
Because the factors referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from time to time, and their emergence is impossible for us to predict. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
This Quarterly Report should be read completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report and should be evaluated with consideration of any changes occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read along with the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Financial Statements”). As described in Note 1 to the Financial Statements, we have included the comparative three months ended March 31, 2024 in this filing; however, these figures have not been restated due to the undue burden it would place on us. Additionally, we have not restated our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024 due to the undue burden this would also have on us. The impact of any adjustments to the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 have been included in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity/(deficit) and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and the accompanying notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024, including references thereon within Management’s Discussion and Analysis, should not be relied upon.
Apart from the matter above, the Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies in the United States (“GAAP”). Except as otherwise disclosed, all dollar figures included therein and in the following management discussion and analysis are quoted in United States dollars.
Descriptionof Our Business
Overview
We are boldly positioning ourselves as America’s Patriotic Brand. We have identified the market opportunity to design, manufacture, and market beverages and innovative concealed carry products and safes. We access our market uniquely through our positioning as America’s Patriotic Brand and the appeal of our products as well as through the profile and public persona of our founder and Chief Executive Officer, Andy Ross. Andy hosted his own television show for 12 years, has made multiple appearances over the years at trade shows, and is well-known in the archery world as the founder of Ross Archery, which was the world’s fastest-growing bow company in 2007 and 2008. Andy has released 3 CDs, done numerous radio and print interviews, and performed many concerts in front of thousands of people. Andy has the ability to present American Rebel to large numbers of potential customers through the appeal of his music and other supporting appearances. For example, his appearance on the History Channel hit show Counting Cars in February 2014 has been viewed by over 2 million times. Bringing innovative products that satisfy an existing demand to the market through exciting means is the American Rebel blueprint for success.
As a corporate policy, we will not incur any cash obligations that we cannot satisfy with known resources, of which there are currently none except as described in “Liquidity” below or elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We believe that the perception that many people have of a public company makes it more likely that they will accept restricted securities from a public company as consideration for indebtedness to them than they would from a private company. We have not performed any studies of this matter. Our conclusion is based on our own observations. Additionally, the issuance of restricted shares will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of our stockholders.
The Company operates primarily as a designer, manufacturer and marketer of beverages, branded safes and personal security and self-defense products. Additionally, the Company designs and produces branded apparel and accessories.
We believe that when it comes to their homes, consumers place a premium on their security and privacy. Our products are designed to offer our customers convenient, efficient and secure home and personal safes from a provider that they can trust. We are committed to offering products of enduring quality that allow customers to keep their valuable belongings protected and to express their patriotism and style, which is synonymous with the American Rebel brand.

Our safes and personal security products are constructed primarily of U.S.-made steel. We believe our products are designed to safely store firearms, as well as store our customers’ priceless keepsakes, family heirlooms and treasured memories and other valuables, and we aim to make our products accessible at various price points for home and office use. We believe our products are designed for safety, quality, reliability, features and performance.
To enhance the strength of our brand and drive product demand, we work with our manufacturing facilities and various suppliers to emphasize product quality and mechanical development in order to improve the performance and affordability of our products while providing support to our distribution channel and consumers. We seek to sell products that offer features and benefits of higher-end safes at mid-line price ranges.
We believe that safes are becoming a ‘must-have appliance’ in a significant portion of households. We believe our current safes provide safety, security, style and peace of mind at competitive prices.
In addition to branded safes, we offer an assortment of personal security products as well as apparel and accessories for men and women under the Company’s American Rebel brand. Our backpacks utilize what we believe is a distinctive sandwich-method concealment pocket, which we refer to as Personal Protection Pocket, to hold firearms in place securely and safely. The concealment pockets on our Freedom 2.0 Concealed Carry Jackets incorporate a silent operation opening and closing with the use of a magnetic closure.
We believe that we have the potential to continue to create a brand community presence around the core ideals and beliefs of America, in part through Andy Ross, who has written, recorded and performs a number of songs about the American spirit of independence. We believe our customers identify with the values expressed by our Chief Executive Officer through the “American Rebel” brand.
Through our growing network of dealers, we promote and sell our products in select regional retailers and local specialty safe, sporting goods, hunting and firearms stores, as well as online, including our website and e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.com.
American Rebel is boldly positioning itself as “America’s Patriotic Brand” in a time when national spirit and American values are being rekindled and redefined. American Rebel is an advocate for the 2nd Amendment and conveys a sense of responsibility to teach and preach good common practices of gun ownership. American Rebel products keep you concealed and safe inside and outside the home. American Rebel Safes protect your firearms and valuables from children, theft, fire and natural disasters inside the home; and American Rebel Concealed Carry Products provide quick and easy access to your firearm utilizing American Rebel’s Proprietary Protection Pocket in its backpacks and apparel outside the home. The initial company product releases embrace the “concealed carry lifestyle” with a focus on concealed carry products, apparel, personal security and defense. “There’s a growing need to know how to protect yourself, your family, your neighbors or even a room full of total strangers,” says Andy Ross. “That need is in the forethought of every product we design.”
The “concealed carry lifestyle” refers to a set of products and a set of ideas around the emotional decision to carry a gun everywhere you go. The American Rebel brand strategy is similar to the successful Harley-Davidson Motorcycle philosophy, referenced in this quote from Richard F. Teerlink, Harley’s chairman and former chief executive, “It’s not hardware; it is a lifestyle, an emotional attachment. That’s what we have to keep marketing to.” As an American icon, Harley has come to symbolize freedom, rugged individualism, excitement and a sense of “bad boy rebellion.” American Rebel – America’s Patriotic Brand has significant potential for branded products as a lifestyle brand. Its innovative Concealed Carry Product line and Safe line serve a large and growing market segment; but it is important to note we have product opportunities beyond Concealed Carry Products and Safes. One such opportunity is American Rebel Light Lager. American Rebel Light Beer is “America’s Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, Stand Your Ground Beer.” Management believes a significant opportunity exists to enter the $110+ billion-dollar beer industry with a premium domestic beer. Current distribution agreements are in place for the states of Kansas and Tennessee and portions of Ohio and Connecticut.

AmericanRebel Safes
Keeping your guns in a location only appropriate trusted members of the household can access should be one of the top priorities for every responsible gun owner. Whenever a new firearm is purchased, the owner should look for a way to store and secure it. Storing the firearm in a gun safe will prevent it from being misused by young household members, and it will prevent it from being stolen in a burglary or damaged in a fire or natural disaster. Gun safes may seem pricy at first glance, but once the consumer is educated on their role to protect expensive firearms and other valuables such as jewelry and important documents, the price is justified.
American Rebel produces large floor safes in a variety of sizes as well as small portable keyed safes. Additional opportunities exist for us to develop Wall Safes and Handgun Boxes.
Reasonsgun owners should own a gun safe:
| ● | If<br> you are a gun owner and you have children, many states have a law in place that require you to store your gun locked in a safe, away<br> from children. This will prevent your children from getting the gun and hurting themselves or someone else. |
|---|---|
| ● | Some<br> states have a law in place that require you to keep your gun locked away when it is not in use, even if you don’t have children<br> in your home. California has a law that requires you to have your gun locked in a firearms safety device that is considered safe<br> by the California Department of Justice (DOJ). When you buy a safe, you should see if it has approval from the California DOJ. |
| ● | Many<br> gun owners own more guns than insurance will cover. Many insurance companies only cover $3,000 worth of guns. Are your weapons worth<br> more? If so, you should invest in a gun safe to make sure your guns are protected from fire, water, and thieves. |
| ● | Many<br> insurance companies may give you a discount if you own a gun safe. If you own a gun safe or you purchase one, you should see if your<br> insurance company is one that offers a discount for this. A safe can protect your guns and possibly save you money. |
| ● | Do<br> people know you own guns? You might not know that many burglaries are carried out by people they know. |
| ● | If<br> a person you know breaks into your home, steals your gun, and murders someone, you could be charged with a crime you didn’t<br> commit, or the victim’s family could sue you. |
| ● | Gun<br> safes can protect your guns in the event your home goes up in flames. When buying a safe, you should see if it will protect your<br> firearm or any other valuables from fire damage. |
| ● | You<br> might be the type of person that has a gun in your home for protection. A gun locked in a safe can still offer you protection. There<br> are quick access gun safes on the market. With a quick access gun safe, you can still retrieve your gun in a few seconds, but when<br> it is not needed, it will be protected. |
A gun safe is the best investment a gun owner can make because the safe can protect guns from thieves, fire, water, or accidents. Bills or ballot measures to require safe storage have been discussed in Delaware, Washington, Oregon, Missouri and Virginia; and various laws are on the books in California and Massachusetts. Even a figure as staunchly pro-gun as Texas’s Republican lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, called on gun-owning parents to lock up their weapons after the Santa Fe shooting. The gun safe industry is experiencing rapid growth and innovation. Andy Ross and the rest of the American Rebel team are committed to fulfilling the opportunity in the gun safe market and filling the identified void with American Rebel Gun Safes.
Below is a summary of the different safes we offer:
| i. | Large Safes – our current large model safe collection consists of six premium safes. All of our large safes share the same high-quality<br> workmanship, are constructed out of 11-gauge U.S.-made steel and feature a double plate steel door, double-steel door casements and<br> reinforced door edges. Each of these safes provide up to 75 minutes of fire protection at 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. Our safes offer<br> a fully adjustable interior to fit our customers’ needs. Depending on the model, one side of the interior may have shelves<br> and the other side set up to accommodate long guns. There are optional additions such as Rifle Rod Kits and Handgun Hangers to increase<br> the storage capacity of the safe. These large safes offer greater capacity for secure storage and protection, and our safes are designed<br> to prevent unauthorized access, including in the event of an attempted theft, natural disaster or fire. We believe that a large,<br> highly visible safe acts as a deterrent to any prospective thief. |
|---|
| 31 |
| --- | | ii. | Personal Safes – the safes in our compact safe collection are easy to operate and carry as they fit into briefcases, desks or under<br> vehicle seats. These personal safes meet Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) airline firearm guidelines and<br> fit comfortably in luggage when required by travel regulations. | | --- | --- | | iii. | Vault Doors – our U.S.-made vault doors combine style with theft and fire protection for a look that fits any decor. Newly-built,<br> higher-end homes often add vault rooms and we believe our vault doors, which we designed to facilitate secure access to such vault<br> rooms, provide ideal solutions for the protection of valuables and shelter from either storms or intruders. Whether it’s in<br> the context of a safe room, a shelter, or a place to consolidate valuables, our American Rebel in- and out-swinging vault doors provide<br> maximum functionality to facilitate a secure vault room. American Rebel vault doors are constructed of 4 ½” double steel<br> plate thickness, A36 carbon steel panels with sandwiched fire insulation, a design that provides greater rigidity, security and fire<br> protection. Active boltworks, which is the locking mechanism that bolts the safe door closed so that it cannot be pried open and<br> three external hinges that support the weight of the door, are some of the features of the vault door. For safety and when the door<br> is used for a panic or safe room, a quick release lever is installed inside the door. | | iv. | Dispensary<br> Safes - our HG-INV Inventory Safe, a safe tailor-made for the cannabis community, provides cannabis and horticultural plant<br> home growers a reliable and safe solution to protect their inventory. Designed with medical marijuana or recreational cannabis dispensaries<br> in mind and increasing governmental and insurance industry regulation to lock inventory after hours, we believe our HG-INV Inventory<br> Safe delivers a high-level user experience. |
UpcomingProduct Offerings
To further complement our diverse product offerings, we intend to introduce additional products throughout 2025.
Below is a summary of potential upcoming product offerings:
i. Biometrics Safes – we intend to introduce a line of handgun boxes with biometrics, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies. These Biometric Safes have been designed, engineered and are ready for production.
ii. 2A Lockers – we have developed a unique steel lockbox with a 5-point locking mechanism to provide a secure place to lock up ammunition and other items that may not require the safety and security of a safe, but prevents unauthorized access. We believe there is a strong market for this product that is priced between $349 - $449 depending on the model.
iii. Wall Safes – wall safes can be easily hidden and provide “free” storage space since they are able to be tucked into the space between your wall and studs.
iv. Economy Safe Line – we are exploring enhancing our safe line through the introduction of entry level safes built in North America to compete with other safes imported from overseas.
Our results of operations and financial condition may be impacted positively and negatively by certain general macroeconomic and industry wide conditions
RecentDevelopments
Establishmentof American Rebel Beer
On August 9, 2023, we entered into a Master Brewing Agreement with Associated Brewing. Under the terms of the Brewing Agreement, Associated Brewing has been appointed as the exclusive producer and seller of American Rebel branded spirits, with the initial product being American Rebel Light Beer. American Rebel Light Beer launched regionally in 2024. We paid a setup fee and security deposit to Associated Brewing. We established American Rebel Beverages, LLC as a wholly-owned subsidiary specifically to hold our alcohol licenses and conduct operations for our beer business.

Expansioninto New Business Categories
ExpandingScope of Operations Activities by Offering Servicing Dispensaries and Brand Licensing
We continually seek to target new consumer segments for our safes. As we believe that safes are becoming a must-have household appliance, we strive to establish authenticity by selling our products to additional groups, and to expand our direct-to-consumer presence through our website and our showroom currently in Lenexa, Kansas.
Further, we expect the cannabis dispensary industry to be a material growth segment for our business. Several cannabis dispensary operators have expressed interest in the opportunity to help them with their inventory locking needs. Cannabis dispensaries have various insurance requirements and local ordinances requiring them to secure their inventory when the dispensary is closed. Dispensary operators have been purchasing gun safes and independently taking out the inside themselves to allow them to store cannabis inventory. Recognizing what seems to be a growing need for cannabis dispensary operators, we have designed a safe tailor-made for the cannabis industry. American Rebel has a long list of dispensary operators, growers, and processors interested in the Company’s inventory control solutions. We believe that dispensary operators, growers, and processors are another fertile new growth market for our Vault Doors products, as many in the cannabis space have chosen to install entire vault rooms instead of individual inventory control safes—the American Rebel Vault Door has been the choice for that purpose.
Further, we believe that American Rebel has significant potential for branded products as a lifestyle brand. As the American Rebel Brand continues to grow in popularity, we anticipate generating additional revenues from licensing fees earned from third parties who wish to engage the American Rebel community. While the Company does not currently generate material revenues from licensing fees, our management team believes the American Rebel brand name may in the future have significant licensing value to third parties that seek the American Rebel name to brand their products to market to the American Rebel target demographic. For example, a tool manufacturer that wants to pursue an alternative marketing plan for a different look and feel could license the American Rebel brand name for their line of tools and market their tools under our distinct brand. This licensee would benefit from the strong American Rebel brand with their second line of American Rebel branded tools as they would continue to sell both of the lines of tools. Conversely, American Rebel could potentially benefit as a licensee of products. If American Rebel determines a third party has designed, engineered, and manufactured a product that would be a strong addition to the American Rebel catalog of products, American Rebel could license that product from the third-party and sell the licensed product under the American Rebel brand.
Resultsof Operations
From inception through March 31, 2025, we have generated an accumulated deficit of $70,145,456. We expect to incur additional losses during fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and beyond, principally as a result of our increased investment in inventory, manufacturing capacity, marketing and sales expenses, and other growth initiatives.

Revenue(‘Sales’) and cost of goods sold (‘Cost of Sales’)
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we reported Revenues of $2,511,324 compared to Revenues of $4,043,837 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in Revenues of $1,532,513 (or (38%) period over period) for the current period compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 is attributable to slower sales for 2025 and current market conditions. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we reported Cost of Goods Sold of $2,222,270 compared to Cost of Goods Sold of $3,202,514 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in Cost of Goods Sold of $980,242 (or (31%) period over period) for the current period is primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we reported Gross Margin of $289,054, compared to Gross Margin of $841,323 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in Gross Margin of $552,269 (or (66%) period over period) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 is again due a decrease in sales and increased costs of goods sold. Gross Margin percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 12% compared to 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. In general, second amendment businesses have experienced a slowdown in sales volume during the past twelve months and this is in line with what we have experienced in our business.

OperatingExpenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $3,255,473 compared to $3,118,592 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as further described below. Overall, we experienced a $136,881 increase in operating expenses period over period. This increase is primarily due to an increase in administrative and other expenses due to increased accounting and legal fees and increased marketing and brand development costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred consulting/payroll and other costs (along with officer compensation) of $903,040 compared to consulting/payroll and other costs (along with officer compensation) of $1,898,413 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in consulting/payroll and other costs of $(995,373) was due to the adjustment in the deferred compensation expense due to common stock equivalents on our Series A preferred stock as identified and corrected during the period ended September 30, 2024 upon finalization of the 2023 re-audit. The Company expects to try and maintain its consulting/payroll and other costs as we endeavor to further expand our sales volume.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred rental expense, warehousing, outlet expense of $57,114, compared to rental expense, warehousing, outlet expense of $151,666 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in rental expense, warehousing, outlet expense of $94,552 is due to cost cutting on leases and properties that the Company rents to conduct the Champion business acquisition as well as other cost cutting measures or efficiencies put in place.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred product development expenses of $93,467 compared to product development expenses of $98,629 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in product development expenses of $5,162 is due to the timing of development expenses in connection with the private label beer. We expect to maintain some level of expense on a go-forward basis with new products and efforts being expended for future sales growth and product needs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred marketing and brand development expenses of $695,491 compared to marketing and brand development expenses of $265,055 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in marketing and brand development expenses of $430,436 (or 162% period over period) relates primarily to market awareness efforts for American Rebel Beer as well as expenses associated with our Tony Stewart activities and general push forward on sales efforts.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred administrative and other expense of $1,470,587 compared to administrative and other expense of $680,514 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in administrative and other expense of $790,073 (or 116% period over period) relates directly to increased professional fees including accounting and legal fees.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred depreciation and amortization expense of $35,774 compared to depreciation and amortization expense of $24,315 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase primarily relates to amortization related to intangible assets.
Otherincome and expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred interest expense of $723,942 compared to interest expense of $423,859 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in interest expense of $300,083 is due to a significant number of notes we have entered into and subsequently converted or modified.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $499,794 and loss on settlement of liability of $887,365. This is due to the conversion of debt into equity, which was not present during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
NetLoss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 amounted to $5,059,256, resulting in a loss per share of $(23.45), compared to a net loss of $2,701,278 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in a loss per share of $(27.47) (adjusted for various reverse stock splits). The increase in the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily due to a myriad of expenses that we incurred in the quarter, such as professional and legal fees, increased costs in marketing, and the softening of gross margin on sales.

Liquidityand Capital Resources
We are a company still in the growth and acquisition stage and our revenue from operations does not cover our operating expenses. Working capital decreased by $507,743 period over period where we had a working capital deficit of $(8,940,228) at December 31, 2024 compared to a working capital deficit balance of $(9,447,971) at March 31, 2025. This working capital decrease was due to increased expenses launching new products and slowing sales in its legacy business. We have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of capital stock, convertible debt, and other securities and will continue so into the near future and beyond.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we reduced anticipated cash outflows of $1.8 million through the issuance of common stock.
As we continue with the launch of American Rebel Beer and continue to maintain the American Rebel branded safes and concealed carry product line, as well our Champion line of products, we expect to continue to devote significant resources in the areas of capital expenditures, marketing, sales, and operational expenditures. We may from time to time incur significant capital needs for these expenditures and for our business. We cannot fully predict what those needs will be and the impact to our business.
We expect to require additional funds to further develop our business and acquisition plan, including the launch of additional products in addition to aggressively marketing our safes and concealed carry product line. Since it is impossible to predict with certainty the timing and amount of funds required to establish profitability, we anticipate that we will raise additional funds through equity or debt offerings or otherwise in order to meet our expected future liquidity requirements. Any such financing that we undertake will likely be dilutive to existing stockholders.
In addition, we expect to need additional funds to respond to business opportunities and challenges, including our ongoing operating expenses, protecting our intellectual property, developing or acquiring new lines of business and enhancing our operating infrastructure. While we may need to seek additional funding for such purposes, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the terms of our financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of our common stock. We may also seek additional funds through arrangements with collaborators or other third parties. We may not be able to negotiate any such arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional funding on a timely basis, we may be required to curtail or terminate some or all of our product lines.
PromissoryNotes – Working Capital
Over the past twelve months, we entered into various working capital notes with a total balance of $4,603,859 as of March 31, 2025. The promissory notes have various terms – refer to Note 8 of our consolidated financial statements for the specific terms of each promissory note.
CriticalAccounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management has determined that the Company has no critical accounting estimates.
Item3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.

Item4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluationof Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the CEO and Interim Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and Interim Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management has concluded that there is a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting due to deficiencies in the design and operation of internal controls. The material weakness resulted in material adjustments to the financial statements included in the Original Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which were driven by the following: (1) inadequate management reviews, and (2) insufficient technical accounting competencies within the organization.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of the material weakness, our CEO and Interim Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changesin Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PartII: Other Information
Item1 - Legal Proceedings
On July 23, 2024, the Company received notice of a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah by Liberty Safe and Security Products, Inc. (“Liberty”), in connection with the marketing and sale of the Company’s and its subsidiaries, Champion Safe Company, Inc., line of safe products. As of the date of this Report, the complaint has not been served on the Company or Champion Safe. In the complaint, Liberty alleges trademark infringement as a result of the purported use of the term “Freedom” in the sale of safes, federal false designation of origin and unfair competition, violation of Utah deceptive trade practices, Utah unfair competition, and damages to Liberty. Management believes that this lawsuit is without merit; however has initiated settlement discussions with Liberty and anticipates an amicable settlement to be forthcoming. At this time, Management does not believe a settlement with Liberty will have a material effect on its business or financial condition.
As reported by the Company in the Form 8-K dated August 7, 2024, during February 2023, the Company entered into a $2 million master credit agreement (credit facility) with Bank of America. The credit facility is secured by all the assets of the Company’s Champion subsidiaries and guaranteed by the Company, the Champion subsidiaries and the Company’s CEO. The Line of Credit expired on February 28, 2024, but the Company and Champion Safe Company have been actively working with the bank to extend or modify the credit facility. Despite being current on all payments under the credit facility and actively working with the bank for a long-term solution to repay the credit facility, on July 25, 2024, Champion Safe Company received a notice of default and demand for payment from the bank. On March 21, 2025, Bank of America filed a complaint in the Fourth Judicial District Court in and for Utah County, State of Utah (Case No. 250401345) against the Company and its subsidiaries (Champion Safe Company, Inc., American Rebel, Inc., Superior Safe Co., L.L.C. and Safe Guard Security Products LC) alleging four causes of action related to the credit facility: (i) Breach of the Loan Documents – Champion Safe; (ii) Breach of the Loan Documents – Guarantors (the Company, American Rebel, Inc., Superior Safe Co., L.L.C. and Safe Guard Security Products LC); (iii) Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing – all parties; and (iv) Unjust Enrichment – Champion Safe. The Company plans to defend the complaint, while continuing to work with Bank of America on a settlement.
From time to time, however, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Bank of America
As reported by the Company in the Form 8-K dated August 7, 2024, during February 2023, the Company entered into a $2 million master credit agreement (credit facility) with Bank of America. The credit facility is secured by all the assets of the Company’s Champion subsidiaries and guaranteed by the Company, the Champion subsidiaries and the Company’s CEO.

On March 21, 2025, Bank of America filed a complaint in the Fourth Judicial District Court in and for Utah County, State of Utah (Case No. 250401345) against the Company and its subsidiaries (Champion Safe Company, Inc., American Rebel, Inc., Superior Safe Co., L.L.C. and Safe Guard Security Products LC) alleging four causes of action related to the credit facility: (i) Breach of the Loan Documents – Champion Safe; (ii) Breach of the Loan Documents – Guarantors (the Company, American Rebel, Inc., Superior Safe Co., L.L.C. and Safe Guard Security Products LC); (iii) Breach of the Implied Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing – all parties; and (iv) Unjust Enrichment – Champion Safe.

Altbanq
During March of 2023, the Company entered into a Business Loan and Security Agreement with Altbanq Lending LLC. The loan is secured by a second lien on all the assets of the Company and its Champion subsidiaries and guaranteed by the Company, the Champion subsidiaries and the Company’s CEO.
On November 11, 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase and Exchange Agreement among an investor (the “Purchaser”) and Altbanq Lending LLC (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Seller a portion ($150,469.11) of a promissory note dated March 27, 2024 in the original principal amount of $1,330,000 (the “Note”), with a current balance payable of $1,229,350 (the “Note Balance”). Contemporaneously with assignment of the assigned note portion to the Purchaser, the Company exchanged the $150,469.11 of assigned note portion for 78,615 shares of the Company’s common stock as a 3(a)(9) exchange.
In December of 2024, the Purchaser cancelled the exchange and the Seller returned the $150,469.11 to the Purchaser. The 78,615 shares of common stock were issued and subsequently cancelled. These shares were issued, but were never delivered to Purchaser. On February 19, 2025, the Purchaser, the Seller and the Company entered into an amendment to the Purchase and Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment”), which extended the time for the Purchaser to purchase additional portions of the Note from the Seller. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Purchaser has converted the entire note balance; however, Altbanq has claimed interest is due on the Note Balance, which the Company disputes. The Company is currently working with Altbanq and the Purchaser to reach an agreement regarding this dispute.
Coventry
On September 4, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Coventry Enterprises, LLC, an accredited investor (“Coventry”), pursuant to which Coventry made a loan to the Company, evidenced by a promissory note in the principal amount of $300,000 (the “Note”). The Note required eight $37,333.33 monthly payments, with the first payment due on September 30, 2024 with seven (7) subsequent payments due on the last day of each month thereafter. The Company was put on notice from Coventry that it is in default of the Note, for failure to make the full payment due as of September 30, 2024. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Coventry has converted the entire Note balance into shares of the Company’s common stock.

Other Debts
The Company is in the growth and acquisition stage and, accordingly, has not yet reached profitability from its operations. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in financing activities and executing its plan of operations and incurring costs and expenses related to product development, branding, inventory buildup and product launch. As a result, the Company has continued to incur significant net losses from operations and cash flow difficulties. The Company’s accumulated deficit was ($70,145,456) as of March 31, 2025 and ($65,086,200) as of December 31, 2024. The Company has experienced cash flow restraints and has missed payments due under several financing agreements. To date, the majority of lenders have been working with the Company towards amenable solutions to remedy any issues related to such agreements.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise capital from the sale of its equity and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues and profitability. The Company had previously had an effective Reg. A+ offering seeking to raise approximately $20.0 million; however, due to the termination of its prior PCAOB accountants and the requirement to re-audit its financial statements for the past two years for inclusion in the Reg. A+ offering documents the Company is unable to access any capital under the offering and the offering expired. The Company anticipates filing a new Reg. A+ offering in 2025.
Management believes that sufficient funding can be secured through the obtaining of loans, as well as future offerings of its preferred and common stock. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will obtain this additional working capital, or if obtained, that such funding will not cause substantial dilution to its existing stockholders. Most of the Company’s current debt instruments are charging high interest rates. These interest payments and/or premium repayments and prepayments may make it difficult for it to enter into new debt agreements. If the Company is unable to secure such additional funds from these sources, it may be forced to change or delay some of its business objectives and efforts. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

AmericanRebel (NASDAQ:AREB) Congratulates Tony Stewart on History-Making Victory in NHRA Top Fuel Event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
FirstDriver to Win NASCAR Cup Race, IndyCar Race, USAC Triple Crown Championship and NHRA Pro Event
AmericanRebel Light Beer Sponsorship of Tony Stewart Racing Drivers Tony Stewart and Matt Hagan Celebrate Stewart Win and Head to Charlotte forAmerican Rebel Light NHRA 4-Wide Nationals April 25 – 27 at zMAX Dragway at Charlotte Motor Speedway
Nashville, TN, April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) (“American Rebel” or the “Company”), creator of American Rebel Beer ( americanrebelbeer.com ) and a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of branded safes, personal security and self-defense products and apparel ( americanrebel.com ), would like to congratulate Tony Stewart on his history-making victory in the NHRA Top Fuel Dragster ( nhra.com ) this past weekend at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Tony is the first driver to win a NASCAR Cup Series race, an IndyCar race, a USAC Triple Crown Championship and an NHRA Pro Event. The American Rebel Light Beer sponsorship of Tony Stewart Racing ( tsrnitro.com ) drivers Tony Stewart and Matt Hagan proudly celebrate the Stewart win as this history-making victory draws tremendous attention to the American Rebel Light sponsorship. The Stewart victory is also veryemotional for the American Rebel team as we know how much this victory means to Tony and Leah personally.
“I haven’t been around the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series very long, but I realized it takes a lot to win one of these Top Fuel races,” said Tony Stewart. “In my career, I’ve never had to wait over a year to win a race. We always figured it out pretty quickly and we won. We needed this win. It’s been so stressful for everyone since Leah (Pruett - Stewart’s wife) nearly won the World Top Fuel Championship in 2023 when it came down to the final round of the whole season.”
Tony Stewart replaced Leah Pruett as the driver of the Tony Stewart Racing NHRA Top Fuel Dragster at the beginning of the 2024 season. Tony and Leah were married in 2021 and Leah asked Tony to drive her car in the Top Fuel series as the couple set out to start a family. Tony drove in the Top Alcohol series, a tier below Top Fuel, in 2023.
“When your wife wants to try to start a family and wants you to driver her car, what are you going to say?” continued Stewart. “We had a lot of changes for the team because my body weight is different. Car tubing is different, and it just takes time. It was frustrating as we just couldn’t get on a path to make consistent gains last year. Two years ago, I won my first NHRA national event in the Top Alcohol Dragster here at Las Vegas with McPhillips Racing, and now I win my first Top Fuel national event at the Strip. It’s pretty damn cool. I’ve been a motorsports fan my whole life, and I think we made racing history with the Top Fuel win. I’m not sure if there has ever been a driver to win a NASCAR Cup race, an IndyCar race, the USAC Triple Crown championship and an NHRA Pro event (Top Fuel). To do it with our team and our family was very emotional. When Leah brought Dom (their newborn son) up on stage in victory lane, my heart stopped. I got so emotional there. That is a feeling I have never had in my life before. The Four Wide setup is the equalizer for me. I’m used to racing with many cars around me. It’s tough for the guys who are not used to four cars racing at once. We can’t get to Charlotte fast enough with the next four-wide setup. I love the format.”
Thenext event on the NHRA Misson Foods Drag Racing Series schedule is the American Rebel Light NHRA 4-Wide Nationals April 25 – 27at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
“Icouldn’t be happier for Tony and Leah as I know how much the victory in Las Vegas means to them both,” said American RebelCEO Andy Ross. “Our relationship started out as a sponsorship, turned into a friendship and now it’s family. Tony, Matt andLeah have been a big part of our incredible success opening up distributors for American Rebel Light Beer across the country. Variousconsultants told me opening up distributors was next to impossible, but American Rebel has proven them wrong because we have a real 12-yearorganic story of how we got here, and Tony, Matt and Leah’s support have poured patriotic fuel all over the fire we had alreadystarted. I can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done.”
American Rebel is an associate sponsor on the Tony Stewart driven Top Fuel Dragster and the Matt Hagan driven Funny Car for all 20 races of the NHRA Mission Foods 2025 season as well as the primary sponsor of the Matt Hagan Funny Car for five races, including the American Rebel Light NHRA 4-Wide Nationals at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and the primary sponsor of the Tony Stewart Top Fuel Dragster for one race during the 2025 season. Being a sponsor provides opportunities for vast exposure during the race broadcasts on Fox Sports, Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and Fox Sports 2 (FS2). Ratings for NHRA telecasts are very strong and visibility continues to expand through additional streaming options through NHRA.tv.
In addition to the strong television viewership of NHRA racing, NHRA has unveiled exciting opportunities for digital media and content creators for the 2025 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series season. Aiming to change the way influencers, content creators and digital media members experience drag racing, NHRA is working to expand its reach across social media platforms with its Cornwell Tools Burnout Box Content Creator Zone. This expansion and emphasis in the digital media space will significantly benefit American Rebel.
American Rebel has also benefitted from the relationship with Tony Stewart Racing through the social media reach of Tony Stewart, Matt Hagan and Leah Pruett. Tony Stewart has nearly 750,000 followers on X (@TonyStewart) and over 250,000 followers on Instagram (@tsrsmoke). Matt Hagan has nearly 150,000 followers on Instagram (@matthagan_fc) and Leah Pruett has nearly 400,000 followers on Instagram (@leah.pruett).
“Tony,Matt and Leah are such an important part of our story,” said Andy Ross. “Tony is a legendary NASCAR driver who may be the most versatile race car driver in history, having also driven in NASCAR, IndyCar, USAC, NHRA and just about anything with wheels. And Matt has 52 NHRA national event wins and is one of only four legendary Funny Car drivers to win four championships (John Force, Don Prudhomme and Kenny Bernstein are the others) and Leah has kicked in doors as a Top Fuel driver and she continues to provide unparalleled support for American Rebel at the track and on social media. Our distributors love our connection with Tony Stewart Racing as American RebelLight Beer connects with our customers through this sponsorship.”
It’s been said that Andy Ross wrote the most on-brand drag racing song ever with his “Nitro Lightning” that he wrote for Matt Hagan. The song gets played at the track nearly every race weekend and even has been referenced on the Fox broadcasts. Andy has performed concerts at the Texas Motorplex and the Bradenton Motorsports Park after race events and is scheduled to perform this year at the American Rebel Light NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Concord, NC.
“What’s more American Rebel than rock ‘n’ roll and drag racing? I love victory lane and bringing the party,” said Andy Ross. “Drag racing fans are the perfect demo for American Rebel Beer and we’re looking forward to continuing this relationship a long time.”
Primary sponsorship dates for American Rebel Beer on the Matt Hagan Funny Car are April 25 – 27 at the American Rebel Light NHRA 4-Wide Nationals in Concord, NC; June 20 – 22 at the Virginia NHRA Nationals at North Dinwiddle, VA; August 14 – 17 at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals in Brainerd, MN; September 26 – 28 at the NHRA Midwest Nationals near St. Louis, MO; and October 30 – November 2 at the NHRA Nevada Nationals in Las Vegas, NV.

AmericanRebel CEO Andy Ross Harnesses Media Appearance on NBC-TV West Palm Beach Affiliate to Amplify Growth Strategy, Propel Brand Expansionand Launch American Rebel Light Beer in Florida
FromSong to Strategy: American Rebel’s CEO Andy Ross Shares the Brand’s Journey with Sunshine Spotlight Host Fiona Daghir Detailing the Journeyof America’s Patriotic Brand to Becoming the Next Great American Success Story.
West Palm Beach, FL, April 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) (“American Rebel” or the “Company”), creator of American Rebel Beer ( americanrebelbeer.com ) and a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of branded safes, personal security and self-defense products and apparel ( americanrebel.com ), is pleased to share its CEO Andy Ross’ TV interview on the NBC-TV affiliate in West Palm Beach, Florida – WPTV. Sunshine Spotlight host Fiona Daghir ( instagram.com/fionadaghir ) and Andy share the American Rebel origin story of how Andy’s song “American Rebel,” which appeared on Andy’s 2013 album Time to Fight, became the blueprint for the creation of American Rebel – America’s Patriotic Brand.
“I had incorporated music into my TV show Maximum Archery World Tour as early as 2010 and the song ‘American Rebel’ was my way of summing up my core values and way of life. When I shared the song and video cut with entrepreneur and businessman Corey Lambrecht, Corey said ‘that’s your brand. You need to build your brand around American Rebel and use this patriotic anthem as your mission and values statement.’ I had just had a similar conversation with my record producer Doug Grau. Doug had said that music artists needed to find other ways to monetize their music due to the file sharing phenomenon of the early 2000s. Corey and Doug both helped me start American Rebel in 2015 and we haven’t looked back. I wanted to see American Rebel beer, American Rebel motor oil, American Rebel grills, American Rebel tools. I want Susie to go up to mom and say ‘Mom, what’s Dad want for Father’s Day and she says honey, anything with American Rebel on it.’ We’re a lifestyle brand. Our first products were concealed carry backpacks and jackets, and then we launched American Rebel safes. In February 2022 we uplisted to NASDAQ under the AREB symbol and then we acquired our OEM safe manufacturer Champion Safe ( championsafe.com ). Champion has been around since 1999, and they manufacture and market our American Rebel safes in addition to their Champion and Superior brands. When an opportunity in the beer market presented itself, we decided to launch America’s Patriotic, God Fearing, Constitution Loving, National Anthem Singing, Stand Your Ground Beer, and the response has been amazing. Customers love what we stand for and they love the beer. American Rebel Light Beer is a premium domestic light lager with no corn syrup or rice extract to sweeten the beer like our competition. We use all natural ingredients. This produces a fuller flavored beer while still hitting the light beer profile – 100 calories and 3.2 carbs. People will gravitate to the marketing; but they’ll only continue as customers if they love the liquid.”
