CIRTRAN CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2024
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
In 1987, CirTran Corporation was incorporated in Nevada under the name Vermillion Ventures, Inc., for the purpose of acquiring other operating corporate entities. We were largely inactive until July 1, 2000, when our wholly owned subsidiary, CirTran Corporation (Utah), acquired substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Circuit Technology, Inc., founded by our president, Iehab Hawatmeh.
We, together with our majority-owned subsidiaries, manufacture, distribute, and sell condoms, electronic tobacco products, cigars, energy drinks, water beverages, and related merchandise, all using the HUSTLER® brand name. Since entering our 2019 five-year manufacturing and distribution agreement with an unrelated party, our efforts have been devoted to phase one of our development of all HUSTLER®-branded products, which led us to generating revenue during 2020 for the first time in several years.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These financial statements and the notes attached hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, as of March 31, 2024, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the three months then ended have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and our wholly owned subsidiaries: CirTran Products Corp., LBC Products, Inc., and CirTran Asia, Inc. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. At times, such deposits may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable limit.
Cash Equivalents
We
consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were

Revenue Recognition
We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for revenue recognition. Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements. We generate revenue by providing product design services and through the sales of tangible product. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. We determine the transaction price associated with each deliverable based on the unique contract with the customer, which is a stand-alone contract that we retain the right to accept or reject. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized revenue of $
Additionally,
we recognized revenues of $
The
Company also recognizes revenue from advanced royalty payments per the terms in its Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with one
of its distributors. The royalty to be received is calculated based on
Accounts Receivable
Revenues
that have been recognized but not yet received are recorded as accounts receivable. Losses on receivables will be recognized when it
is more likely than not that a receivable will not be collected. An allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts will be recognized
to reduce the amount receivable to its net realizable value when needed. As March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has
Investment in Securities
Our
cost-method investment consists of an investment in a private digital multi-media technology company that totaled $
We evaluated the investment for impairment and determined there was none during the periods presented.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Cost on manufactured inventories includes labor, material, and overhead. Overhead cost is based on indirect costs allocated to cost of sales, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods inventory. Indirect overhead costs have been charged to cost of sales or capitalized as inventory, based on management’s estimate of the benefit of indirect manufacturing costs to the manufacturing process.
When there is evidence that the inventory’s value is less than original cost, the inventory is reduced to market value. We determine market value on current resale amounts and whether technological obsolescence exists. We will seek agreements with manufacturing customers that require them to purchase their inventory items in the event they cancel their business with us.
From
time to time, we will place deposits on inventory to be delivered in the future. These deposits are carried as a separate balance sheet
component and total $ (non-related-party) and $
On most of tobacco related products, the Company pays in advance for Federal Excise Taxes and State Excise Taxes prior to receiving product. The Company accrues those taxes on its balance sheet and expenses them per-unit basis as sold.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820-10-15, Fair Value Measurement-Overall-Scope and Scope Exceptions, defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures surrounding fair value calculations. ASC 820-10-15 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
Level 1—Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3—Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Accounts payable and related-party payables have fair values that approximate the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative liabilities are measured using level 3 inputs.
| Total Fair Value at March 31, 2024 | Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs(Level 3) | |||||||||||||
| Derivative liabilities | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Total Fair Value at December 31, 2023 | Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | |||||||||||||
| Derivative liabilities | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would include common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential when applicable. There were approximately and potentially issuable shares from the conversions of convertible debentures outstanding that were excluded in dilutive outstanding shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to the anti-dilutive effect these would have on net loss per share. We do not currently have adequate authorized but unissued shares to satisfy our obligations should all instruments eligible to convert to common stock be exercised. We are not currently contemplating an increase in our authorized shares but may do so in the future.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its Consolidated Financial Statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements properly reflect the change.

NOTE 3 — GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates our continuation
as a going concern. We had a working capital deficiency of $
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish our business plan and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
In the coming year, our foreseeable cash requirements will relate to development of business operations and associated expenses. We may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.
Historically, we have mainly relied upon shareholder loans and advances to finance operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital by retaining net earnings, if any, or through future public or private offerings of our stock or loans from private investors, although we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain such financing. Our failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon our shareholders and us.
NOTE 4 — PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
We incur certain costs associated with the design and development of molds and dies for our contract-manufacturing segment. These costs are held as deposits on the balance sheet until the molds or dies are finished and ready for use. At that point, the costs are included as part of production equipment in property and equipment and are amortized over their useful lives. We hold title to all molds and dies used in the manufacture of products.
Property and equipment and estimated service lives consist of the following:

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation and Claims
Various vendors, service providers, and others have asserted legal claims in previous years. These creditors generally are not actively seeking collection of amounts due to them, and we have determined that the probability of realizing any loss on these claims is remote and will seek to compromise and settle at a deep discount any of such claims that are asserted for collection. These amounts are included in our current liabilities, except where we believe collection or enforcement of the judgments is barred by the applicable statute of limitations, in which case the liabilities have been eliminated. We have not accrued any liability for claims or judgments that we have determined to be barred by the applicable statute of limitations, which generally is eight years for judgments in Utah.
Playboy Enterprises, Inc.
Our
affiliate, Play Beverages, LLC, filed suit against Playboy Enterprises, Inc., in Cook County, Illinois, Circuit Court in October 2012

Employment Agreements

engage Iehab Hawatmeh, our president and chief executive officer, through an employment agreement entered in August 2009 and amended
in September 2017. In July 2017, Mr. Hawatmeh had resigned all positions with us to pursue other business activities, thereby effectively
terminating the agreement. However, the amendment to his employment agreement in September 2017 reinstated Mr. Hawatmeh to his previous
positions, with a salary in an amount to be determined. Among other things, the reinstated employment agreement: (a) grants options to
purchase a minimum of shares of our stock each year, with an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock as of
the grant date, for the maximum term allowed under our stock option plan; (b) provides for health insurance coverage, cell phone, car
allowance, life insurance, and director and officer liability insurance, as well as any other bonus approved by our board; and (c) includes
additional incentive compensation as follows: (i) a quarterly bonus equal to
We also have an oral agreement with our other director that requires us to issue options to purchase shares of our common stock each year.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes to our unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors discussed elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Based on our diversified expertise in manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and technology services in a wide variety of consumer products, including tobacco products, medical devices, and beverages, around the world, we have an innovative and consumer-focused approach to brand portfolio management, resting on a strong understanding of consumers domestically, and we have established a footprint in more than 50 key, international markets.
Since 2021, we continue under our 2019 five-year manufacturing and distribution agreement with an unrelated party to manufacture, distribute, and sell condoms, electronic tobacco products, cigars, energy drinks, water beverages, and related merchandise, all using the HUSTLER® brand name.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Sales and Cost of Sales
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had net sales of $429,391 and $213,409, respectively, an increase of $215,982 or 101.2%. We had cost of sales of $157,897 and $85,707, respectively, for gross profit of $271,494 and $127,702, respectively. Revenues are derived from the design, manufacture, and delivery of certain licensed products in accordance with our GloBrands-HUSTLER® distribution agreement. The increase in revenue in the current period is due to additional income from the licensing of novelties in an international territory.
Operating Expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, employee costs were $125,229 and $136,695 respectively, a decrease of $11,466 or 8.4%. Employee costs decreased in the current period due to efficiencies based on the current business level.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“S,G&A”)were $192,686 and $138,678, respectively, an increase of $54,008 or 38.9%. The increase in S,G&A expenses period over period was the result of additional marketing spending to support the brand.
Other Expense
Total other expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $433,406 compared to $294,833 for the prior period. In the current period we had $184,952 of interest expense and a loss of $248,454 on derivative valuation. In the prior period we had $183,288 of interest expense, a loss of $124,545 on derivative valuation and a gain on forgiveness of debt of $13,000.
Net Loss
Our net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $479,827 compared to $442,504 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $37,323. Our net loss increased in the current period mainly due to the increase of our other expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have had a history of losses from operations, as our expenses have been greater than our revenue. Our accumulated deficit was approximately $59.5 million at March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we had current assets of $1.6 million and current liabilities of approximately $21 million, resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $19.4 million at March 31, 2024.
Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, operations provided $15,087 of net cash, comprised of a loss of $518,088, noncash items totaling $312,138 consisting primarily of losses recognized from the changes in fair values of derivative liabilities and debt discount amortization, and changes in working capital totaling $221,037. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, operations generated $196,598 of net cash, comprised of a loss of $480,345, noncash items totaling $173,610 consisting primarily of losses recognized from the changes in fair values of derivative liabilities and debt discount amortization, and changes in working capital totaling $503,333.
Investing Activities
There were no investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, financing activities used $12,091 of cash, compared to using $15,788 of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cash used in financing consisted of repayments of loans.
Our Capital Resources and Anticipated Requirements
Our monthly operating costs are approximately $35,000 per month, excluding approximately $50,000 of accruing interest expense and capital expenditures. We continue to focus on generating revenue and reducing our monthly business expenses through cost reductions and operational streamlining. We have only recently begun to generate enough cash to sustain our day-to-day operations, and we expect to access external capital resources in the future to fund any new projects we may undertake. We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining such capital.
If we seek infusions of capital from investors, it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain additional debt financing. If we did incur additional debt, we would be required to devote additional cash flow to servicing the debt and securing the debt with assets.
Our issuance of additional shares for equity or for conversion of debt could dilute the value of our common stock and existing stockholders’ positions.
Convertible Debentures and Note Payable
We currently have an outstanding amended, restated, and consolidated secured convertible debenture with Tekfine, LLC, an unrelated entity, with a maturity date of April 30, 2027, to the extent not previously converted. The amended debenture had a total outstanding principal balance of $2.4 million, with accrued interest of $1.9 million as of March 31, 2024. We also have four additional convertible debentures with Tekfine with maturity dates ranging from December 8, 2022, until December 30, 2022, totaling $275,000, unless earlier converted. The convertible debentures and accrued interest are convertible into shares of our common stock at the lower of $100 or $0.10 (depending on the instrument) or the lowest bid price for the 20 trading days prior to conversion.
As of March 31, 2024, there is $21,882 of short-term advances due to related parties. The advances are due on demand and included in current liabilities. No demand for payment has been made.
Going Concern
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the interim unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we not be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. Refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for discussion.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2024, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive and financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024, to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods prescribed by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive and financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| 15 |
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
