Filing Relief - March 31, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K

On March 4, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") issued an order (Release No. 34-88318) under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder. On March 25, 2020, the order was modified and superseded by a new SEC order (Release No. 34-88465) (the "SEC Order"), which provides conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with their filing obligations as a result of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak.

Ammo, Inc. ("Ammo," "we," or "our") is relying on the SEC Order to extend the filing date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020 (the "Annual Report") due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 outbreak. In particular, COVID-19 and related precautionary responses have made it more difficult as the Company's receipt of information from certain third parties related to the completion of its financials has been delayed and therefore it has taken us more time, to finish our analysis and compile certain information necessary to make key assessments and estimates.

Although we can provide no assurance, we presently intend to file our Annual Report before July 31, 2020, but, in any event, no later than August 13, 2020, which is 45 days from the Annual Report's original filing deadline of June 29, 2020. If the Annual Report is filed by August 13, 2020, it will be deemed timely filed by the SEC.





COVID-19 Pandemic Update

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of coronavirus COVID-19 ("COVID-19") a global pandemic. The responses by federal, state and local governments to restrict public gatherings and travel rapidly grew to include stay-at-home orders, school closures and mandatory restrictions on non-essential businesses and services that has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets resulting in a significant economic downturn. While the majority of operations have continued as they have been deemed essential businesses, we have experienced some disruptions administratively, specifically, (a) the Company's receipt of information from certain third parties related to the completion of its financials has been delayed, and (b) certain of the Company's personnel responsible for is financial reporting function, including our independent auditors, have been adversely affected by business closures and travel restrictions as a result the virus.

While this disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration. We are actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation and its impact in the markets we serve. We are taking all precautionary measures as directed by health authorities and local and national governments. Due to continuing uncertainties regarding the ultimate scope and trajectory of COVID-19's spread and evolution, it is impossible to predict the total impact that the pandemic will have on our business. If public and private entities continue to implement restrictive measures, the material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could persist.
