I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes the accounts of Safety Shot, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Safety Shot”). References
in this Report to “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company” refer to Safety Shot, Inc. and its
consolidated subsidiaries unless the context dictates otherwise.
FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain
statements in this report, including information incorporated by reference, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect current views about future events and financial
performance based on certain assumptions. They include opinions, forecasts, intentions, plans, goals, projections, guidance, expectations,
beliefs or other statements that are not statements of historical fact. Words such as “will,” “may,” “should,”
“could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “estimates,” “approximates,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “potential,”
“continue,” or “projects,” or the negative or other variation of such words, and similar expressions may identify
a statement as a forward-looking statement. Any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated
growth and trends in our businesses, our goals, strategies, focus and plans, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances,
including statements expressing general optimism about future operating results and the development of our products, are forward-looking
statements.
Although
forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can
only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and
uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation,
those specifically addressed under the heading “Risk Factors” below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public can
read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549.
You can obtain additional information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition,
the SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding
issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including us.

SAFETY
SHOT, INC.
Notes
to Financial Statements
For
the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and Year Ended December 31, 2023
Note
1 - Organization and Business Operations
Safety
Shot Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOT) was formerly known as Jupiter Wellness Inc. In August 2023, the Company successfully completed the asset
purchase of the functional beverage Safety Shot from GBB Drink Lab, Inc. (“GBB”), thereby gaining ownership of various
assets, including the intellectual property, trade secrets, and trademarks associated with its liquid dietary supplement that can
lower blood alcohol content by supporting its metabolism (the “Safety Shot Dietary Supplement”). Concurrently
with the purchase, the Company changed its name to Safety Shot, Inc. and changed its NASDAQ trading symbol to SHOT. The Company
launched Safety Shot Dietary Supplement in December 2023.
The
Safety Shot Dietary Supplement has a well-established clinical development infrastructure and fits within the Company’s existing
over-the-counter and health and wellness products. The Company will continue its current products line as an
operating division and is committed to supporting health and wellness by developing innovative solutions to a range of conditions.
We take pride in our research and development of our products and intellectual property, which aim to address
some of the most prevalent health and wellness concerns today. We are dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest scientific research and technology, ensuring that our products are
effective, safe, and meet the highest industry standards.
To
achieve our mission, we rely on a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals who are committed to advancing our vision of health
and wellness. Our team includes scientists, researchers, product developers, and business experts who collaborate to create new products
and enhance existing ones. We also partner with industry leaders and organizations to leverage the latest technologies and expand our
reach.
We
generate revenue through various channels through the sales of our consumer products. Our
products are available through various retailers and e-commerce platforms, making them accessible to a broad customer base. Additionally,
we collaborate with other companies to license our intellectual property, creating additional revenue streams and expanding our global
presence.
Going
Concern Consideration
As
of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accumulated deficits of $(89,629,480) and $65,680,715, respectively, and cash flow used
in operations of $12,100,942 and $10,515,314 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023. The Company has incurred
and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its expansion and development plans. At June 30, 2024 and December 31,
2023, the Company had $3,223,783 and $3,833,349, respectively, in cash and working capital of $2,577,472 and $4,303,687, respectively. These conditions
have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as noted by our auditors, M&K CPAS,
PLLC.
Note
2 - Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Jupiter Wellness Investments,
Inc., a Florida corporation, and for the period from January 1, 2022 to August 14, 2023, SRM Entertainment, Limited, a Hong Kong private
limited company, which was sold effective August 14, 2023. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Equity
Method for Investments
Investments
in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate, are accounted
for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in investment in
joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments
is reported in loss from equity method joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors
its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating
performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.
Asset
Purchases
The
Company accounts for an acquisitive transaction determined to be an asset purchase based on the cost accumulation and allocation method,
under which the costs to purchase the asset or set of assets are allocated to the assets acquired. No goodwill is recorded in connection
with an asset purchase.
Investments
in Marketable Securities
The
Company’s Marketable Securities are considered Held-For-Trading (“HFT”) or Trading Assets. HTF- Trading securities
are valued at their fair value when purchased/sold, and any unrealized gains or losses are recorded periodically on financial reporting
dates as other income or loss.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth
companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden
parachute payments not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of
such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which
is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes
of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024, or December 31, 2023.
Inventory
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs
or write- offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.
Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company took a write down
of certain raw materials and finished goods totaling $1,649,473, due to rebranding issues. During the corresponding period for 2023,
the Company had no write-downs or write-offs.
Net
Loss per Common Share
Net
income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income
(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such
as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.
As such, options, warrants, convertible securities, and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the
potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to
their short-term nature.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or through a distributor (collectively the “customers”).
The
Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue
from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods
or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange
for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to
be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
|
● |
identify
the contract with a customer; |
|
|
|
|
● |
identify
the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
|
|
|
● |
determine
the transaction price; |
|
|
|
|
● |
allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
recognize
revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
The
Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on a FOB shipping point basis as title passes
when shipped. Our products are generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return,
refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.
Accounts
Receivable and Credit Risk
Accounts
receivables are generated from sales of the Company’s products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which
is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. During the six
months ended June 30, 2024, and year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized no allowance for doubtful collections.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
We
evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted
future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets consist of patents and trademarks, purchased customer contracts, purchased customer and merchant relationships, purchased trade
names, purchased technology, and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the
straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from one to twenty years. No significant residual value is estimated for intangible
assets. We evaluate long-lived assets (including intangible assets) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds
the undiscounted future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.
The
Company’s evaluation of its long-lived assets resulted in no impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2024, or year ended
December 31, 2023.
Research
and Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research
and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred.
Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed
when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs
related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses
of $261,404 and $36,928 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company recognizes compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation”
(“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements
based on the grant- date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required
to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured
on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the
option grant.
On
October 24, 2018, the inception date, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements
to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation
(which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods or
services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation
allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain
tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on October 24, 2018,
the evaluation was performed for 2018 tax year which would be the only period subject to examination. The Company believes that its income
tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes
to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items
as a component of income tax expense.
The
Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2023 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state
effective tax rates equating to approximately $8,658,484 less a valuation allowance in the amount of $8,658,484.
Related
parties
The
Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure
of related party transactions.
Pursuant

10 - Convertible Notes Payable – Related Parties
On
April 20, 2022, the Company entered into a $1,500,000 Loan Agreement and a $500,000 Loan Agreement (collectively the “Agreements”).
Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company issued two Convertible Promissory Notes in the principal amounts of $1,500,000 and $500,000 (the
“Notes”). In connection with the Notes the Company issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants for 1,100,000 shares and 360,000
shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) and issued a total of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock as Origination Shares.
The
Notes have an original issuance discount of five percent (5%), $10,000 in legal fees, an interest rate of eight percent (8%), and a conversion
price of $2.79 per share, subject to an adjustment downward if the Company is in default of the terms of the Notes. The Warrants have
a five (5) year term, an exercise price of $2.79 per share, have a cashless conversion feature until such time as the shares underlying
the Warrants are included in an effective registration and certain anti-dilution protection.
During
the year ended December 31, 2023, the Notes were amended to change the conversion price of the Notes and exercise price of all outstanding
warrants was reduced to $0.93 pursuant to down round protection provisions in the loan and warrant agreements and to extend the Notes
to January 31, 2024. The change on the Notes conversion rate was a change from $2.79 and the change to the outstanding warrants exercise
price was on 500,000 warrants with $6.00 price, 1,460,000 at $2.79 and 800,000 at $1.00. The amendment is considered a material modification
of the Notes and the Company has used extinguishment accounting to account for the change. The fair value of the additional shares underlying
the Note conversion and warrant exercise using the reduced conversion and exercise price was measured using the Black-Scholes valuation
model. The fair value of the conversion feature totals $923,603 and the fair value of the warrants totals $196,730. The total loss on
extinguishment of $1,120,333 has been included in other gains and losses. In December 2023, $430,331 of the $500,000 Note and accrued
interest of $69,669 was converted into 537,634 shares of the Company’s common stock.
On
June 28, 2024, the Notes were amended to change the due date to September 30, 2024 and to allow the Company to pay the accrued
interest in shares of the Company’s common stock. In consideration for the extension of the maturity date, the Company agreed
to assign 150,000 shares
of SRM Entertainment, Inc. common stock held by the Company to the Note Holder. These shares were valued at $189,000
and recorded as interest expense with a corresponding gain, which was valued at market price on the day of the agreement. Additionally, the Company agreed to issue 330,957
shares of its common stock to pay $ 306,953
of accrued interest. As of June 30, 2024, the shares had not been issued and are recorded as common stock payable in the financial

Legal
Proceedings.
The
Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising from contracts or other matters from time to time in the ordinary course
of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation where the ultimate disposition or resolution could have
a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On
November 30, 2023, Intracoastal Capital, LLC (“Intracoastal”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the New York County
Supreme Court, alleging that (i) the Company is in breach of a common stock warrant issued to Intracoastal on or about July 26, 2021,
and (ii) that the Company should be ordered by the court to deliver to Intracoastal 330,619 free trading shares of Company common stock
(the “Litigation”). The Litigation seeks compensatory damages in an amount no less than $2 million, in addition to liquidated
damages and attorney’s fees.

(the “Litigation”). Sabby’s initial complaint in the Litigation alleges that the Company’s delayed spin-off and
distribution of the common stock of “SRM” Entertainment. Inc. give rise to claims of breach-of-contact, promissory estoppel,
and negligent misrepresentation. On November 10, 2023, Jupiter sought judicial permission to move to dismiss Sabby’s complaint,
arguing that Sabby had no legal right to the delayed distribution occurring on the original record date, and that regardless, no law
requires the Company to compensate Sabby for the costs of covering its short position against the Company. In response, the Court allowed
the parties to bypass that dismissal motion briefing so long as Sabby filed an amended complaint by December 15, 2023.
Sabby
seeks compensatory damages estimated to exceed $500,000. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss Sabby’s amended complaint and
is awaiting the Court’s ruling. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against Sabby’s claims and does not believe
that the Litigation’s ultimate disposition or resolution will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations or liquidity.

2,105,263 shares of common stock. On March 8, 2024, Sabby filed an amended complaint. The Company has answered the amended complaint
is due on March 29, 2024. Sabby seeks “liquidated and compensatory damages in an amount to be proven at trial,” including
compensatory damages “estimated to be at least $750,000,” liquidated damages “estimated to be at least $600,000,”
specific performance, attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against Sabby’s

liquidated damages in an amount of approximately $380,000. The Company filed its answer to the complaint on or about March 7, 2024. The
Company intends to defend itself vigorously against Sabby’s claims and does not believe that the Litigation’s ultimate disposition
will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On
January 10, 2024, Bigger Capital fund, L.P. (“Bigger”), filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court for the
State of New York, Case No. 650148/2024 (the “Litigation”). The Litigation stems from the Company’s warrant to purchase
1,656,050 shares of Company common stock issued to Bigger Capital on July 20, 2021, and asserts causes of action for Breach of Contract,
Specific Performance and Declaratory Relief. The Litigation seeks compensatory damages of $3 million, liquidated damages in an estimated

that the Litigation’s ultimate disposition or resolution will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations or liquidity.
On
or about January 18, 2024, Alta Partners, LLC, (“Alta”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the federal district court
for the Southern District of New York, case captioned, Alta Partners, LLC v. Safety Shot, Inc. No. 24-cv-373 (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Litigation”).

Act of 1933. The Litigation seeks compensatory general and liquidated damages in an amount to be proven at trial. The Company intends

General
Overview
Safety
Shot Inc. (NASDAQ: SHOT) was formerly known as Jupiter Wellness Inc. In August 2023, the Company successfully completed the asset purchase
of the dietary supplement product Safety Shot from GBB Drink Lab, Inc. (“GBB”), thereby gaining ownership of various assets,
including the intellectual property, trade secrets, and trademarks associated with its dietary supplement Safety Shot (the “Safety
Shot Dietary Supplement”). Concurrently with the asset purchase, the Company changed its name to Safety Shot, Inc. and changed
its NASDAQ trading symbol to SHOT. The Company launched its e-commerce sale of the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement in December 2023.
The
Safety Shot Dietary Supplement has been formulated to reduce the accumulation of blood alcohol content by supporting its metabolism.
Noteworthy is the fact that the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement comprises 28 active ingredients, all falling under the Generally Regarded
As Safe (GRAS) category. Under sections 201(s) and 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), any substance that is intentionally
added to food is a dietary supplement, that is subject to premarket review and approval by FDA, unless the substance is generally recognized,
among qualified experts, as having been adequately shown to be safe under the conditions of its intended use, or unless the use of the
substance is otherwise excepted from the definition of a dietary supplement.
It’s
crucial to note that the Safety Dietary Supplement is currently manufactured in a facility adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP),
ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety throughout its production process. The Company currently maintains a workforce comprising
eight full-time employees of its own.
Our
focus centers on the commercialization of a 12-ounce product positioned as a dietary supplement. Beyond our existing product, we are
actively pursuing a future product line, including a convenient powdered stick pack version and four ounce version. This strategic
expansion aligns with our corporate vision to address evolving consumer demands, positioning the Company in the market for dietary
supplements. We believe that this initiative not only enriches our product portfolio but also emphasizes our dedication to
innovation and adaptability, catering to the discerning preferences of health-conscious consumers. The Company intends to continue
its current product lines. Our product pipeline consists of the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement as well as stick pack version and a four ounce version of the
Safety Shot Dietary Supplement.
Products
Roadmap.
The
Safety Shot Dietary Supplement was launched on our own website and through Amazon in December 2023 and with several Big
Box stores. The Company is advancing several product formats and formulations to continue to offer a wide array of products that
can be purchased at various locations that coincide with consumer shopping habits. In particular, the Company plans to continue to develop
new flavors for each of its current SKUs (12oz., 4 oz. and “Stick Pack”). In addition, the current formula will be offered
at various dosages and research studies will be carried out addressing dose, ingredient selection and efficacy across multiple indications
to help bolster product development and product offerings.
Research
and Development
Our
research and development team in continually looking to develop new therapeutic products, while continually improving and enhancing our
existing products and product candidates to address customer demands and emerging trends.
We
have conducted extensive research and experimentation involving a substantial number of volunteers under the influence of
intoxicants. Our findings indicate that the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement can reduce a person’s Blood Alcohol Content
(“BAC”) by supporting its metabolism, as measured by the premier Breathalyzer in the market. We have recently completed our clinical trials of the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement which have shown a statistically
significant reduction in the BAC of the participants. The observable enhancements
in cognitive abilities among the test subjects have been carefully documented. See “Business-Research and
Development.”
Sales
and Marketing
We
primarily sell our products through e-commerce websites including Amazon. To drive loyalty, word-of-mouth marketing, and sustainable
growth, we invest in customer experience and customer relationship management. Our marketing investments are directed towards driving
profitable growth through advertising, public relations, and brand promotion activities, including digital platforms, sponsorships, collaborations,
brand activations, and channel marketing. Additionally, we continue to invest in our marketing and brand development efforts by investing
capital expenditures on product displays to support our channel marketing via our retail partners. We are currently speaking with Big
Box stores with the intention to launch in the second quarter of 2024.
Manufacturing,
Logistics and Fulfillment
We
outsource the manufacturing of our products to contract manufacturers, who produce them according to our formulation specifications.
Our products are manufactured by contract manufacturers in India and the US. The majority of our products will then be shipped to third-party
warehouses and to our corporate offices, which can either transport them to our distributors, retailers, or directly to our customers.
Our third-party warehouses are located in the US. We use a limited number of logistics providers to deliver our products to both distributors
and retailers, which allows us to lessen order fulfillment time, cut shipping costs, and improve inventory flexibility.
Our
Competitive Strengths
We
are committed to driving continuous improvement through innovation. Since our inception, we have made significant investments in research
and development and have acquired a substantial portfolio of intellectual property, which continues to grow each year. Our commitment
to innovation has allowed us to create unique products that address unmet needs in the market, all backed by rigorous clinical research.
We believe that our focus on research and development is designed to enable us to stay ahead of the curve and provide our customers with
products that are not only effective but also innovative. We take pride in our patent portfolio and the continuous growth we have achieved,
as we believe that it showcases our dedication to creating new and unique solutions for our customers. By staying committed to innovation,
we are confident in our ability to meet the ever-changing needs of the health and wellness market. We believe that the Safety Shot Dietary
Supplement stands as a unique product in the liquid dietary supplement market. Nevertheless, our competitive landscape includes many
companies involved in the production of health and welfare products.
Recent
Developments
On
January 19, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “PIPE Agreement”) with certain purchasers,
for the issuance of 8,631,574 common stock warrants (the “PIPE Offering”) at a price of $0.125 per warrant, comprised of
two common stock warrants (the “Common Warrants,”), each to purchase up to one share of Common Stock per Common Warrant with
an exercise price of $1.00 per share , with (a) 4,315,787 Common Warrants being immediately exercisable for three years following 6 months
from the closing of the PIPE Offering, and (b) 4,315,787 Common Warrants being immediately exercisable for five years following 6 months
from the closing of the PIPE Offering. Concurrently to the PIPE Agreement, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“RD Agreement”) with certain purchasers, pursuant to which on January 23, 2023, 4,315,787 shares of common stock, par value
$0.001 (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $0.70 per share were issued to the purchasers (the “RD Offering”).
The Common Stock was issued pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) on September 28, 2022 (File No. 333-267644) and declared effective on November 9, 2022. The aggregate
gross proceeds to the Company from both the PIPE Offering and the RD Offering were approximately $4.1 million, with the purchase price
of one share, one 3- year warrant and one 5-year warrant as $0.95. The net proceeds were $3,450,675.
On
July 10, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with GBB Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation
set up as an acquisition company (“Buyer”), GBB Drink Lab Inc., a Florida corporation (“Seller”), 2V Consulting
LLC, a Florida limited liability company, the Jarrett A Boon Revocable Trust Dated October 22, 2014, Gregory D. Blackman, an individual
and Brothers Investment 7777, LLC. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Buyer purchased certain assets relating to the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement
for a consideration comprising of: (a) the sum of Two Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $200,000) (the “Cash Purchase Price”);
and (b) 5,000,000 Common Shares (the “Consideration Shares” and together with the Cash Purchase Price, collectively, the
“Purchase Price”). The asset purchase was closed on August 31, 2023.
Intellectual
Property
In
connection with the asset purchase describe above, the Company owns five patents, including the patent (US 9,186,350 B2) and patent (US
10,028,991 B2) for the composition of the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement used for minimizing the harmful effects associated with alcohol
consumption by supporting the metabolism of alcohol.
Government
Regulation
The
Safety Shot Dietary Supplement:
The
production, distribution and sale in the United States of the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement is subject to various U.S. federal, state
and local regulations, including but not limited to: the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FD&C Act”); the Occupational
Safety and Health Act and various state laws and regulations governing workplace health and safety; various environmental statutes; the
Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (“California Proposition 65”); data privacy and personal data protection
laws and regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (as modified by the California Privacy Rights Act) and a
number of other federal, state and local statutes and regulations applicable to the production, transportation, sale, safety, advertising,
marketing, labeling, packaging, and ingredients of the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement.
We
also may in the future be affected by other existing, proposed and potential future regulations or regulatory actions, including those
described below, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore,
legislation and regulation may be introduced in the United States at the federal, state, municipal and supranational level in respect
of each of the subject areas discussed below. Public health officials and health advocates are increasingly focused on the public health
consequences associated with obesity and alcohol consumption, especially as they may affect children, and are seeking legislative change
to reduce the consumption of sweetened and alcohol beverages.
We
are subject to a number of regulations applicable to the formulation, labeling, packaging, and advertising (including promotional campaigns)
of our products. In California, we are subject to California Proposition 65, a law which requires that a specified warning be provided
before exposing California consumers to any product that contains in excess of threshold amounts of a substance listed by California
as having been found to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. California Proposition 65 does not require a warning if the manufacturer
of a product can demonstrate that the use of the product in question exposes consumers to an average daily quantity of a listed substance
that is below that threshold amount, which is determined either by scientific criteria set forth in applicable regulations or via a “safe
harbor” threshold that may be established by the state, or the substance is naturally occurring, or is subject to another applicable
exception. As of the date of this registration statement, we are not required to put a warning label on our product and our products
are perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”) free. We are unable to predict whether a component found in our
product might be added to the California list in the future. Furthermore, we are also unable to predict when or whether the increasing
sensitivity of detection methodology may become applicable under this law and related regulations as they currently exist, or as they
may be amended. If we are required to add warning labels to any of our products or place warnings in certain locations where our products
are sold, it will be difficult to predict whether, or to what extent, such a warning would have an adverse impact on sales of our products
in those locations or elsewhere. In addition, there has been increasing regulatory activity globally regarding constituents in packaging
materials, including PFAS. Regardless of whether perceived health consequences of these constituents are justified, such regulatory activity
could result in additional government regulations that impact the packaging of our beverages.
In
addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) has regulations with respect to serving size information and
nutrition labeling on food and beverage products, including a requirement to disclose the amount of added sugars in such products. Further,
the U.S. Department of Agriculture promulgated regulations requiring that, by January 1, 2022, the labels of certain bioengineered foods
include a disclosure that the food is bioengineered. These regulations may impact, reduce and/or otherwise affect the purchase and consumption
of our products by consumers.
All
ingredients in the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement are deemed Generally Recognized as Safe (“GRAS”) and align with FDA standards, permitting
their inclusion in supplements. In the event that the FDA or any governmental agency identifies an ingredient or aspect of our product
as unsafe, we commit to promptly withdrawing that component in accordance with regulatory directives. From a product and sales perspective,
there are no impediments or concerns raised by any governmental agency. It is essential to note that the Safety Shot Dietary Supplement
is classified as a dietary supplement, exempt from the approval or filing requirements mandated for pharmaceutical drugs by the FDA or
other regulatory authorities.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Caring Brands, Inc., a Florida
corporation, Jupiter Wellness Investments, Inc., a Florida corporation, and for the period from January 1, 2022 to August 14, 2023, SRM
Entertainment, Limited, a Hong Kong private limited company, which was sold effective August 14, 2023. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
Equity
Method for Investments
Investments
in unconsolidated affiliates, which the Company exerts significant influence but does not control or otherwise consolidate, are accounted
for using the equity method. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost. These investments are included in investment in
joint ventures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s share of the profits and losses from these investments
is reported in loss from equity method joint venture in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company monitors
its investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors such as current economic and market conditions and the operating
performance of the investees and records reductions in carrying values when necessary.
Asset
Purchases
The
Company accounts for an acquisitive transaction determined to be an asset purchase based on the cost accumulation and allocation method,
under which the costs to purchase the asset or set of assets are allocated to the assets acquired. No goodwill is recorded in connection
with an asset purchase.
Investments
in Marketable Securities
The
Company’s Marketable Securities are considered Held-For-Trading (“HFT”) or Trading Assets. HTF- Trading securities
are valued at their fair value when purchased/sold, and any unrealized gains or losses are recorded periodically on financial reporting
dates as other income or loss.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage
of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth
companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden
parachute payments not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended
transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private
companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised
standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company
nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential
differences in accounting standards used.
Significant
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited financial statements
for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical
experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material. We believe that the
accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to
the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash and equivalents for purposes
of the statement of cash flows. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Net
Loss per Common Share
Net
income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income
(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. If applicable, diluted earnings per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments such
as options, warrants, convertible securities and preferred stock, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.
As such, options, warrants, convertible securities, and preferred stock are not considered in the calculations, as the impact of the
potential common shares would be to decrease the loss per share.

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company generates its revenue from the sale of its products directly to the end user or distributor (collectively the “customer”).
The
Company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606 “Revenue
from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods
or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange
for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to
be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
|
● |
identify
the contract with a customer; |
|
● |
identify
the performance obligations in the contract; |
|
|
|
|
● |
determine
the transaction price; |
|
|
|
|
● |
allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
recognize
revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
The
Company’s performance obligations are satisfied when goods or products are shipped on an FOB shipping point basis as title passes
when shipped. Our product is generally paid in advance of shipment or standard net 30 days and we offer no specific right of return,
refund or warranty related to our products except for cases of defective products of which there have been none to date.
Accounts
Receivable and Credit Risk
Accounts
receivable are generated from sales of the Company’s products. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections, which
is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. As of June 30,
2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had not recognized an allowance for doubtful collections.
Inventory
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs
or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. Write-downs and write-offs are charged to cost of goods sold.
Inventory is based upon the average cost method of accounting.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of our assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term
nature.
Income
Taxes
We
account for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets
and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and
for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation
allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
period, disclosure and transition. Based on our evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions
requiring recognition in our financial statements. Since we were incorporated on October 24, 2018, the evaluation was performed for 2018
tax year, which would be the only period subject to examination. We believe that our income tax positions and deductions would be sustained
on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to our financial position. Our policy for recording
interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.
The
Company’s deferred tax asset at December 31, 2023 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state
effective tax rates equating to approximately $8,658,484 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $78,658,484. Due to
the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance in the year ended
December 31, 2023.
Research
and Development
The
Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 730-10, Research
and Development (“ASC 730-10”). Under ASC 730-10, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred.
Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed
when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs
related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenses
of $0 and $41,494 for the three-months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Stock
Based Compensation
We
recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation”
(“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements
based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required
to provide services. Share based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants. As such, compensation cost is measured
on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the
option grant.
On
October 24, 2018, the inception date (“Inception”), we adopted ASU No. 2018-07 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic
718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation
- Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees
for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned.
Related
parties
The
Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure
of related party transactions.
Pursuant
to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. Entities for which investments in their equity securities
would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15,
to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing
trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company;
f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies
of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and
g. Other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership
interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting
parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The
consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements,
expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated
in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include:
a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal
amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary
to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of
the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that
used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not
otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on our financial statements.

The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time communicated to the Company’s management,
including its Chief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure
