You should read the entire prospectus carefully, especially the "Risk Factors" section and financial and the related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus before deciding to invest in shares of our common stock. Some of the statements in this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this prospectus to "our company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to James Maritime Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries Gladiator Solutions Inc., an Arizona corporation, or Gladiator, and United Security Specialists, Inc., a California corporation, or USS.

Our Company

James Maritime Holdings, Inc., the "Company" was originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware as Out-Takes, Inc. on March 18, 1992. The Company developed and managed franchised personal portrait locations until 1996 when they shifted their focus towards the acquisition and management of a waste gas electricity plant in Los Alamos, California. Due to uncertainties arising from PG&E's bankruptcy, the Company elected to terminate its contract with PG&E, and instead entered into a Participating Generator Agreement with the California Independent System Operator ("ISO).

In 2002, because the power plant was inoperable, management began searching for potential merger and combination opportunities, with no success. After the power industry somewhat stabilized in California, the Company entered into a new power purchase agreement with PG&E and attempted to recommence operations. In order to recommence power operations, the Company had to service and refurbish the power generation equipment, and to pay current its obligations to creditors. In order to meet these obligations, the Company attempted to enter into an informal reorganization plan with creditors which, was ultimately unsuccessful, and it became clear that the Company would not be able to move forward with the recommencement of its operations.

Between 2007 and 2014 the Company undertook the process of divesting itself of assets and unwinding contracts and reorganizing its business. The Company implemented a termination and recission agreement which was signed, implemented and all terms of the rescission were completed. On September 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement settling all outstanding debts and obligations of the Company owed to the Releasor or its assigns.

In 2014 Kip Eardley was elected as a director and appointed to serve as President and CEO of the Company and has maintained that position to date.

In January of 2015 the Company was redomiciled from Delaware to Nevada in conjunction with the Company effectuating a reverse split of its capital stock and a name change to James Maritime Holdings, Inc.

After changing its name and re-domiciling to Nevada, the Company began to pursue a growth strategy through merger and acquisition.

In December of 2021, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Gladiator Solutions, Inc. and certain shareholders of Gladiator, and the Company acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Gladiator in exchange for a new issuance of Company common stock to the Gladiator shareholders.

On June 11, 2022, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with United Security Specialists, Inc. and the shareholders of USS, and the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of USS in exchange for a new issuance of Company common stock.

Effective July 17, 2024 the Company effectuated a name change from James Maritime Holdings, Inc. to Sentinel Holdings Ltd. The name change was conducted in order to better reflect the current business activities of the

1

Company and provide better transparency to the markets and our shareholders. The company is currently awaiting approval from FINRA regarding this name change.

The Company continues to aggressively pursue a growth by acquisition model and is currently identifying other potentially attractive M&A candidates in the private security and personal protective equipment industries, as well as in other business verticals that management deems to be of strategic importance.

Our Business

As mentioned above, the Company is currently pursuing an aggressive growth strategy through strategic acquisitions in the private security, personnel protective equipment and defense industries and to seek partners to market its guard management software to guard service providers. Through our subsidiaries, James Maritime Holdings, Inc. is well positioned to be at the forefront of personal protective products, private security and government contracting.

We entered the personal protective product and technology company with an established line of trusted body armor, ballistic plates and ballistic materials with the strategic acquisition of Gladiator Solutions, Inc. The timing for this acquisition was well timed to take advantage of an expansion in demand for these products because of the recent fighting in the Ukraine and our efforts to supply our allies with lifesaving personal protective equipment. By exporting our products during this critical time, we were able to boost sales and brand recognition for the Gladiator line of ballistics plates while also expanding revenues for additional strategic acquisitions in the defense space.

Shortly after closing our transaction with Gladiator, we entered into an agreement to acquire United Security Specialists, Inc., ("USS") an established private security company with a proprietary guard services software for the industry, licenses in California and key guard service contracts for armed and unarmed security services. USS is a recognized industry leader in this rapidly growing market, and this acquisition positions us for potentially uncertain times ahead where security and protective services will be increasingly shifted onto the private security industry. As this segment of the market continues to expand, we will be able to leverage the Gladiator product line for any contracts that require armed security with ballistic plates, or whenever our private security clients have security teams that require ballistic plates.

We hope to continue this trend as we expand into other security industry verticals as we identify additional acquisition candidates with disruptive, transformative or high technology defense systems and products that we can market to our existing client based at an affordable cost. We will continue to identify acquisition candidates with existing or developmental technologies for unmanned systems, space and satellite communications, electronic warfare and Command, Control, Communication, Computing, Combat, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance ("C5ISR") Systems. Increasingly complicated compliance requirements and capital requirements will ensure that the barriers to entry in this space remain high, and we anticipate that upcoming requirements like Cyber Security Maturity Model Certification will force small businesses out of this space and away from defense contracting because they will not be able to justify the time and capital required to bid on government contracts. Moreover, the challenges with hiring quality guards, and the costs of insurance and inflation will continue to force a consolidation in the private security industry as poorly run security companies are forced out of the business.

About Gladiator Solutions, Inc.

Gladiator Solutions Inc. was originally developed by Law Enforcement and Military Personnel with one simple idea…to ensure the highest level of safety and comfort, at an affordable price. Our key emphasis is to provide our customers with lighter, safer and more affordable solutions that have greater ballistic capability. Our full line of hard armor plates, tactical ballistic plate carriers, soft armor inserts and vests, helmets, shields, and other ballistic products and accessories incorporate the latest materials and technology to ensure maximum protection and performance.

Whether for local law enforcement, federal and state agencies or the military, our High-Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) and hybrid UHMWP/Ceramic armor provides the highest level of protection at the lightest weight.

Gladiator products are leading the way with ultimate protection, extreme comfort, minimal weight products at unsurpassed value.

2

Gladiator products are tested and certified in accordance with protocols developed by the National Institute of Justice, US Military Specification and European Ballistics Standards.

Gladiator proudly employs retired Law Enforcement and Military personnel across virtually all functional areas within the Gladiator organization including Sales & Marketing, Distribution, Operations, Product Development/Innovation and Tactical Training.

What Sets Gladiator Apart?

We offer top quality solutions for Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement agencies, First Responders, National Armed forces, and Independent Security Contractors.

Unsurpassed Quality & Value

Our products provide extreme lightweight, incredible comfort, maximum strength solutions at affordable prices, without compromising performance, durability or quality.

Round Dispersion Technology (RDT)

Our ballistic plates absorb the round rather than deflecting/spalling like steel or fracturing like Ceramic. RDT spreads the kinetic energy delivered by the round from the point of impact to the surrounding area, diffusing the forces of impact over a larger area and dispersing the force of the round impact.

Testing Protocol

To ensure the highest quality solutions, we age, test and certify our NIJ & Special Threat plates to and beyond certification standards. This enables Gladiator to warranty our plates to 10 years vs. the industry standard 5 years. While most testing is conducted with the widest spread for impact points (to reduce the kinetic energy absorbed by the armor material), we target the smallest area possible with the highest concentration of kinetic energy in a localized area of impact, providing Gladiator with the confidence that we are providing the highest strength to weight ratio solution to our customers.

3

Materials & Composition

Our products are manufactured from high strength, high durability materials. The performance of these materials enables Gladiator to provide a 10-year warranty. While other products tend to break down over time, our products are manufactured from Polyethylene and Ceramic materials, providing a long and unsurpassed service life.

Compliance

About United Security Specialists

USS Mission

The mission of USS is to recruit right train right and respond early. Our clients should expect day-to-day quality, consistency, and professionalism. Our security personnel are more experienced, better supervised, and are dedicated to the highest level of work.

USS History

United Security Specialists was built on ethics and integrity. Kyle and Henry founded this company in 2017 when they discovered a number of industry practices that were neither ethical nor acceptable. Starting USS was an exciting endeavor that had allowed them to utilize and combine their years of experience with their solid work ethic and integrity. We value every client that has partnered with us, and we work to establish a solid relationship with our team. It is the strong relationship bonds that help our company continue to grow and to serve more valued partners.

4

Our Guards

We have highly trained and committed professionals from law enforcement, military, and security veterans' communities who are all specializing in providing one thing: on site, visible protection. We take pride in delivering the highest level of trust to our clients; therefore, we have a robust qualifying process to ensure all our team members are not just qualified but also enthusiastic and professional.

Our Services

We pride ourselves in providing reliable protection in the security guard industry. With over 10 years of experience, we have proven to be unshakable and trustworthy. To enhance our service, we implement the latest technology into our process. With our mobile app provided by SilverTrac, our guards are able to check in, make reports and take photos in real time as they patrol.

USS services are grouped into three main categories:

1)On Site Protection

2)Mobile Patrol

3)Event Security

___________________________________________________________________________________

On Site Protection

As a trusted provider of security specialists in the Bay Area, we understand the importance of reliable, professional and courteous security service, especially when it involves on-site protection at your establishment. Regardless of the scale of your need, from a single guard at the reception area to deploying multiple teams of officers for warehouse protection, USS will provide your organization with a solution that fits for you and your team.

Starting with our risk assessment framework, our expertise is in efficiently and effectively developing solutions that match different combinations of business environments and their specific security needs.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Mobile Patrol

5

Having security specialists check in on your property on a scheduled route is a prevalent approach for many businesses that do not require a constant on-site presence. Our risk assessment team will help determine the most appropriate time frame and frequency of the patrolling route. Our licensed security specialists will carry out all of the inspection procedures designed specifically for your site according to plan. All activities are updated through our proprietary real-time reporting and location-tracking technology. We pride ourselves in utilizing the latest technology to enhance our services. With our mobile app provided by SilverTrac, our guards are able to check in, file incident reports and take photos in real time as they patrol.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Event Security

USS has an outstanding track record as a top tier event security partner. We have solid experience with security and crowd control at major concerts, outdoors events and convention center programs. Our specialists are well-trained for large events so they can easily identify potential threats and mitigate them to avoid interruptions and disturbances. With USS as your partner, you can focus on the event agenda knowing that your employees and guests are safe, litigation risk is reduced, and your event will go off without a hitch.

Industry Background

In 2022, the U.S. increased its National Security Budget by 5.6% to $782,000,000,000 for Fiscal Year 2022 and approved $813,300,000,000 for Fiscal Year 2023 representing an additional 4%. In May 2022, the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022, was approved providing an additional $40,000,000,000 to help support Ukraine. Meanwhile, according to a research study published to Globe Newswire by The Insight Partners2, the

2https://www.theinsightpartners.com/reports/homeland-security-market

6

homeland security market is expected to grow in size from a value of $188,990,000,000 in 2022 to $275,500,000,000 by 2028 representing a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%.

Management believes that the best way to capture this growing market is by aggressively expanding our operations through acquisition.

Our Competitive Strengths

Our competitive edge in the security industry lies in our in-field support and quality control through responsiveness to customers, investment in field, our supervisors and our administrative support. For guard services, this allows us to minimize the #1 strategic risk for our industry, which is litigation risk. Another competitive advantage that we have is our access to a pipeline of highly professional, military-trained and experienced personnel for our high-end clients facing significant threats such as synagogues and schools.

In the protective products industry, our strength is the unsurpassed quality and value of our products. Not only are our products light weight and comfortable, but we are able to provide the maximum level of ballistic protection at affordable prices, and without compromising performance, durability or quality.

Our desire to drive innovation and create ever lighter, stronger, more practical and effective products and protection solutions is what drives us. As a lean, flexible and nimble company, we are constantly challenging the status quo within our organization, and we are never set in our ways. Through innovation we are able to deliver a lighter, thinner and more effective for ballistic protective plate for law enforcement, military and responsible civilians.

We are always working harder to strengthening the Gladiator community by raising our standards of customer service and overall customer satisfaction. Our team is an industry leader in customer service, and we achieve this by delivering products much faster that our competition, usually within 4-6 weeks while providing timely updates throughout the production process.

Our Growth and Marketing Strategy

"We believe that those who protect and serve and risk their lives to preserve our way of life, shouldn't have to spend a fortune to protect themselves."

The elements of our growth strategy start with our commitment to continuous capital reinvestment into our Company, its subsidiaries and our strategic industry partners. We lead by example and set the pace for our industry in order to attract the leading regional security companies and protective products companies to join us as stakeholders. This is the core allows us to stakeholder's growth in growing urban markets where to the breakdown of cultural values and investment of law and or has left a vacuum of need.

USS will also focus on adding services which customize real-time remote monitoring enhanced by artificial intelligence with timely in person security response.

Risks Associated with Our Business

Our business is subject to numerous risks, which are more fully described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 15 of this prospectus. You should read these risks before you invest in our common stock. We may be unable, for many reasons, including those that are beyond our control, to implement our business strategy.

As a result of these risks and other risks described under "Risk Factors," there is no guarantee that we will experience growth or profitability in the future.

7

Recent Developments

There are several trends that provide opportunities and risks for USS:

·The breakdown and underfunding of traditional law enforcement leading to passive response to riots, resulting break-ins, shoplifting, and property destruction on the large scale (See Portland 2020).

·The rise of the lawless corollary on the small scale with burgeoning vagrancy, break-ins and theft (e.g., catalytic converters in automobiles, construction materials such as tools and copper conduit).

·The refusal of cities to enforce vagrancy laws and suppress the crime associated with chronic criminal trespassing and its detrimental effect on business. This leads to a transfer of burden to business owners who turn to private security companies to mitigate. This applies to all sectors - residential, commercial and municipal.

·Finally, the sense of personal physical risk has been heightened in culture leading to the need to provide protection to employees and residents. For example, employees want protection as they come and go to their vehicle in areas of high crime.

Our Corporate Information

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 18, 1992, as Out-Takes, Inc., or Out-Takes. We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 23, 2015. On February 17, 2015, Out-Takes changed its domicile from Delaware to Nevada by filing Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to which Out-Takes merged with and into our company, with our company surviving the merger.

On December 13, 2021, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Gladiator and certain shareholders of Gladiator under which we acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Gladiator in exchange for our common stock. On June 11, 2022, we entered into a share exchange agreement with USS and the shareholders of USS under which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of USS in exchange for our common stock. USS was incorporated on July 8, 2017.

Our principal executive offices, and the principal executive offices of Gladiator and USS, are located at 9160 South 300 West, #101 Sandy, UT 84070. Our telephone number is (801) 706-9429. Our Internet website address is www.usselite.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not a part of this prospectus. We have included our website address in this prospectus solely as an inactive textual reference.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. We refer to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 in this prospectus as the "JOBS Act," and references in this prospectus to "emerging growth company" shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

·reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

·no requirement that we hold non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and

·exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

We have elected to adopt certain reduced disclosure requirements for purposes of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, for so long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, we expect to take advantage of certain of the reduced reporting and other requirements of the JOBS Act with respect to the

8

periodic reports we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and proxy statements that we use to solicit proxies from our stockholders. As a result, the information contained in this prospectus and in our periodic reports and proxy statements may be different than the information provided by other public companies.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates for new or revised accounting standards.

For certain risks related to our status as an emerging growth company, see the section titled "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Common Stock and this Offering -We are an "emerging growth company," and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our shares of common stock less attractive to investors."

We are also a "smaller reporting company," meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of this offering is less than $700.0 million and our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing at the end of this prospectus, before making your decision to invest in shares of our common stock. We cannot assure you that any of the events discussed in the risk factors below will not occur. These risks could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. If that were to happen, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this prospectus. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for information relating to these forward-looking statements.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Need for Additional Capital

We have incurred net losses and cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitable operations.

Our net loss was $2,618,965 for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $1,443,251 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We may continue to incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown events.

We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we undertake increased development and production efforts to support our business and increase our marketing and sales efforts to drive an increase in the number of our product offerings and an increase in customers purchasing our products and services. These expenditures may make it more difficult to achieve and maintain profitability. In addition, our efforts to grow our business may be more expensive than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset increased operating expenses. If we are forced to reduce our expenses, our growth strategy could be compromised. To offset these anticipated increased operating expenses, we will need to generate and sustain significant revenue levels in future periods in order to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability.

Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will achieve sustainable operating profits as we continue to expand our infrastructure, further develop our marketing efforts, and otherwise implement our growth initiatives. Any failure to achieve and maintain profitability would have a materially adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan, our results and operations, and our financial condition, and could cause the value of our common stock, to decline, resulting in a significant or complete loss of your investment.

We may need to raise additional capital to fund new products and further expand our existing operations.

Based on our current business plan, we believe our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities may be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements over at least the next 12 months If our available cash balances and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding, or seek other debt financing.

We may consider raising additional capital in the future to further expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities, or for other reasons. We expect that we will need additional liquidity and capital resources through debt and/or equity financings to fulfill our anticipated future product development efforts and product backlog. We may not be able to obtain adequate financing in a timely manner, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our failure to raise sufficient capital in a timely manner will restrict our growth and hinder our ability to compete. Our failure to obtain timely and adequate capital could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

15

No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing in the future. Any future financing that we may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to our common stock that we are able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. At a minimum, we expect these covenants to include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our operations and product development efforts or to obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or potential products or other assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain such financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control of our proprietary technology and other important assets and could also adversely affect our ability to fund our continued operations and our development efforts and adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock and This Offering

The price of our shares of common stock has been, and is likely to be, volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The trading price of our shares of common stock has been, and is likely to be, volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including limited trading volume. In addition to the factors discussed in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this prospectus, these factors include, without limitation:

·competition from existing technologies and products or new technologies and products that may emerge;

·the loss of customers;

·actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;

·failure to meet the estimates and projections of the investment community or that we may otherwise provide to the public;

·our cash position;

·announcement or expectation of additional financing efforts;

·issuances of debt or equity securities;

·our inability to successfully enter new markets or develop additional products;

·actual or anticipated fluctuations in our competitors' operating results or changes in their respective growth rates;

·sales of our shares of common stock by us, or our stockholders, in the future;

·trading volume of our shares of common stock on the OTC;

·market conditions in our industries;

·overall performance of the equity markets and general political and economic conditions;

·introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors;

·additions or departures of key management, scientific or other personnel;

·publication of research reports about us or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities or industry analysts;

·changes in the market valuation of similar companies;

·disputes or other developments related to intellectual property and other proprietary rights;

·changes in accounting practices;

·significant lawsuits, including stockholder litigation; and

·other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

16

Furthermore, the public equity markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies, including ours. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our shares of common stock. As a result, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment.

There is a limited trading market for our common stock.

Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC, it is an unorganized, inter-dealer, over-the-counter market which provides significantly less liquidity than The Nasdaq Capital Market or other national securities exchanges. This may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our common stock.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends, and accordingly, stockholders must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We intend to retain a significant portion of our future earnings, if any, to finance the operations, development and growth of our business. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on number of factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, only appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never occur, will provide a return to stockholders.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research or reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares of common stock depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our shares of common stock may be negatively impacted. If we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our shares of common stock, changes their opinion of our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our shares of common stock could decrease and we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price and trading volume to decline.

Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of us.

Nevada has a business combination law that prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and "interested stockholders" for three years after an "interested stockholder" first becomes an "interested stockholder," unless the corporation's board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an "interested stockholder" is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term "business combination" is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation's assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

The potential effect of Nevada's business combination law is to discourage parties interested in taking control of us from doing so if these parties cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors. Both of these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

17

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

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus, our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time or if we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, in which cases we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31, or if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year period before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company immediately. We cannot predict if investors will find our shares of common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our shares of common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our shares of common stock and our share price may be more volatile.

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies also can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates for new or revised accounting standards.

Raising additional capital, including through future sales and issuances of our common stock, or warrants could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders, could cause our share price to fall and could restrict our operations.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including any potential acquisitions, hiring new personnel and continuing activities as an operating public company. To the extent we seek additional capital through a combination of public and private equity offerings and debt financings, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt and receivables financings may be coupled with an equity component, such as warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, which could also result in dilution of our existing stockholders' ownership. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and could also result in certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. A failure to obtain adequate funds may cause us to curtail certain operational activities, including sales and marketing, in order to reduce costs and sustain the business, and would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Our issuance of shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the market value of our common stock, dilute the voting power of common stockholders and delay or prevent a change of control.

Our board of directors has the authority to cause us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, preferred stock in one or more series, to designate the number of shares constituting any series, and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, redemption price or prices and liquidation preferences of such series.

18

The issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable to the holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive. For example, investors in the common stock may not wish to purchase common stock at a price above the conversion price of a series of convertible preferred stock because the holders of the preferred stock would effectively be entitled to purchase common stock at the lower conversion price causing economic dilution to the holders of common stock.

Further, the issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our other classes of voting stock either by diluting the voting power of our other classes of voting stock if they vote together as a single class, or by giving the holders of any such preferred stock the right to block an action on which they have a separate class vote even if the action were approved by the holders of our other classes of voting stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders, even where stockholders are offered a premium for their shares.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers, and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights for our obligations to our directors, officers, and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.

Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions permitting us to eliminate the personal liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for damages for the breach of a fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the extent provided by Nevada law. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers to provide such indemnification rights. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under any future employment agreements with our officers. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and the resulting costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.

19

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this prospectus regarding our strategy, future events, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth, among others, are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about:

·our ability to generate or secure sufficient funding to support our growth strategy;

·future sales of our common stock that could depress the trading price of our common stock on the OTC, lower our value and make it more difficult for us to raise capital;

·our ability to compete effectively;

·our future financial performance, including our expectations regarding our revenue, cost of revenue, operating expenses, and our ability to achieve and maintain future profitability;

·our expectations regarding outstanding litigation;

·our expectations and management of future growth;

·our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property;

·the increased expenses associated with being a public company;

·our anticipated uses of net proceeds from this offering;

·our expectations regarding the effects of existing and developing laws and regulations;

·our beliefs regarding our liquidity and sufficiency of cash to fund our operations; and

·the other matters described in "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and "Business."

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in "Risk Factors." Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors 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 we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

20

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for the account of the selling security holders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these shares. However, upon the exercise of the Purchase Warrants for an aggregate of 1,050,000 shares of common stock, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants, or an aggregate of $2,887,000. We have agreed to pay all costs, expenses and fees relating to the registration of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus. The selling security holders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sale of the shares.

21

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors including contractual obligations that our board of directors deems relevant and any limits in the payment of dividends that may be imposed upon us under any credit facility or other agreement we may have with a third party that restricts out ability to pay dividends.

JAMES MARITIME HOLDINGS, INC.. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023, AND 2022

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

Business Operations Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of James Maritime Holdings, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiary, Gladiator Solutions Inc. ("Gladiator"), and its wholly owned subsidiary United Security Specialists Inc. ("USS") (collectively as the "Company").

Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through its subsidiaries, Gladiator and USS. Gladiator produces revenues through the distribution of personal protective products, primarily through mail-in orders to customers or via e-commerce sales generated through their website. USS provides professional security personnel enhanced by smartphone-based security applications.

Share Exchange Agreement - United Security Specialists, Inc.

On September 23, 2022, James Maritime Holdings, Inc. completed a share exchange agreement with USS.

As a result of the exchange, James Maritime Holdings, Inc. became the sole shareholder of USS, holding 100% of all shares outstanding. See Note 3 for further information.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year-end for financial statement reporting purposes.

All operations activity related to James Maritimes' subsidiary, Gladiator, all operations are included within consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

All operations activity related to James Maritime Holdings, Inc.'s subsidiary, USS, for the year ended December 31, 2022, will only reflect activity from September 23, 2022, through December 31, 2022, the period for which USS was acquired and owned by Sentinel Holdings LDT. All operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, are included within consolidated statement of operations.

All intercompany balances were eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Non-controlling interests are classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a component of equity. The amounts of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to both the Company and the non-controlling interests are separately presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Going concern

The Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, are prepared using U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has yet to establish an ongoing source of revenue to finance its operating expenses and to continue as a going concern.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated a net loss of $2,618,965. The accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2023, is $13,915,927 ($11,454,076 as of December 31, 2022). In order to continue as a going concern, the Company plans to receive funds through the selling of equity securities to existing and new shareholders. The Company is also evaluating potential acquisitions in the corporate security space. Additionally, the Company has created and maintained good customer relationships during 2023 for both USS and Gladiator, which the Company is

25

relying on to potentially generate sustainable sales throughout 2024 and afterward. While management maintains they will be able to continue to generate sufficient cash flows through a combination of operations, debt, and equity raises, there is no guarantee the Company will be able to raise or generate additional funds in the short term to meet present obligations as they come due. Due to these factors, there is substantial doubt the Company may be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting amounts of assets and liabilities.

Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for inventories, impairment of long-term assets and derivatives.

It is reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existing at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results of could differ significantly from those estimates.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non- controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of assets and liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company's results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash accounts with financial institutions, where, at times, deposits exceed federal insurance limits of $250,000. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances due to its assessment of the credit worthiness and financial viability of the financial institutions.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of finished goods. Costs of finished goods inventories include all costs incurred to bring inventory to its current condition, which includes standard cost paid to suppliers, shipping costs, and other costs. The Company values its inventory using specific identification method of each inventory item. If the Company determines that the estimated net realizable value of its inventory is less than the carrying value of such inventory, it records a charge to cost of goods sold to reflect the lower of cost or net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the Company, further adjustments may be required that would increase the cost of goods sold in the period in which such a determination was made.

26

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are generally recorded at the invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for expected losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded, which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company's historical losses and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. The allowance for accounts receivable is established through a provision reducing the carrying value of receivables. On December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company determined that no allowance was necessary.

Leases

The Company accounts for a contract as a lease when it has the right to direct the use of the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset's economic benefits. The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. ROU assets and liabilities are represented on the balance sheet at the present value of future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. Leases that are insignificant or with a 12-month term or less at inception are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and are expensed as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2023, the Company leased real estate and office space under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that qualified for ROU accounting treatment.

Property and equipment

The Company records depreciation when appropriate using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The estimated useful lives of the Company's property and equipment by class are as follows:

Asset classes

Useful lives (in years)

Vehicles

5

Furniture and fixtures

7

Management regularly reviews property, equipment, and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Based on management's assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company's property and equipment as of December 31, 2023, and 2022.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are allocated to the reporting units that are expected to receive the related benefits. During the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 the Company determined that all intangibles were fully recognizable at their net book values and therefore no impairment was deemed necessary.

On September 23, 2022, the Company executed a share exchange agreement that resulted in the recognition of intangible assets (see Note 4 - USS Share Exchange Agreement). Management has determined that the intangible assets extrapolated from the share exchange agreement will be amortized over the useful life of 3 years.

Convertible Debt and Derivative Liabilities

The convertible debt is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of 10% of the lowest trading price during the previous five trading days. The terms of the embedded conversion feature require embedded derivative instrument treatment and classification as a separate liability. The conversion feature and certain other features are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision, a penalty provision and redemption option, which are to be recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its

27

conversion is independent of the underlying note. The Company records the resulting discount on debt related to the conversion features at initial transaction and amortizes the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments. The conversion liability is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of promised products or services to its customers, which occurs either at a point in time or over time, depending on when the customer obtains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products or services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:

(1) Identify the contract with the customer,

(2) identify the performance obligations in the contract,

(3) determine the transaction price,

(4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

(5) recognize revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.

Net revenues from Gladiator primarily consist of sales of personal protective products, including armor, plates, helmets, shields, and accessories shipped directly to customers. All revenue transactions for Gladiator comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through wholesale, intermediary, or direct-to-consumer channels. The company satisfies the performance obligation and records revenues when transfer of control has passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale. In all of the Companies revenue channels, transfer of control takes place at the point of sale upon shipment to customer.

Net revenues from United Securities primarily consist of security services provided to large residential, industrial, construction and government clients. Contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. The Company does offer discounts, but historically the discounts have been insignificant. The Company satisfies the performance obligation for the agreed-upon period of time and location and records revenues after completion. There are no services that would be considered fulfilled over an extended period of time and necessitate different accounting treatment.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses. Advertising production costs are expensed the first time an advertisement related to such production costs is run. Media (television, print and radio) placement costs are expensed in the month during which the advertisement appears. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, were $80,196 and $50,110, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company incurs freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers. These costs are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, shipping and handling costs totaled $13,196 and $35,122, respectively.

Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution from common shares issuable through stock options, restricted stock units and other equity awards. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company generated a net income, therefore calculated diluted earnings per share with the applicable equity instruments. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company

28

generated net losses, therefore applying applicable equity instruments for diluted earnings (loss) per share would have had an anti-dilutive effect. Please see Note 14 for the computation of earnings (loss) per common share for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts shown for the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and notes and loans approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

The Company groups its recurring, non-recurring and disclosure-only fair value measurements into the following levels when making fair value measurement disclosures:

Level 1

Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3

Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The Company and its subsidiaries use, as appropriate, a market approach (generally, data from market transactions), an income approach (generally, present value techniques and option-pricing models), and / or a cost approach (generally, replacement cost) to measure the fair value of an asset or liability. These valuation approaches incorporate inputs such as observable, independent market data and/or unobservable data that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to price an asset or liability. These inputs may incorporate, as applicable, certain risks such as nonperformance risk, which includes credit risk.

The Company received a fair value assessment from a third-party prior to the business combination with Gladiator. See Note 3 for further details and assumptions used in the calculation.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at tax rates expected to be in effect when such assets or liabilities are realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date of a change in tax rates. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances when necessary. On December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. The 2020 through 2023 tax years remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities.

Commitments and Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings. The Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings, or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

29

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is possible but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests are classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as a component of equity. The amounts of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to both the Company and the non-controlling interests are separately presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13. Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Statements Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, which may result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have any material impact on the Company's financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options ("ASU 2021-04"). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity- classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021- 04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

3. Share Exchange Agreement with United Securities Specialists, Inc. (USS)

On September 23, 2022 (the "USS Closing date"), USS entered into a share exchange agreement with the Company, in which all the outstanding shares, 100 common shares, no par value, were exchanged for 1,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value of James Maritime Holdings, Inc. common stock.

30

The Company also included contingent considerations if USS meets or exceeds certain earnings before interest, taxes, amortization ("EBITDA") thresholds:

-

$20,000,000 and 15% during any consecutive (12) month period commencing on the Closing date and ending on December 31, 2025 ("the Measurement Period"), the Company shall issue an aggregate 500,000 shares of James Maritime Holdings, Inc. stock

-

$30,000,000 and 15% during the measurement period, the Company shall issue an aggregate 500,000 shares of James Maritime Holdings, Inc. stock

-

$40,000,000 and 15% during the measurement period, the Company shall issue an aggregate 500,000 shares of James Maritime Holdings, Inc. stock

-

$50,000,000 and15% during the measurement period, the Company shall issue an aggregate 500,000 shares of James Maritime Holdings, Inc. stock

If all criteria are met, an aggregate of 2,000,000 earnout shares will be awarded to the Company.

The Company utilized a third-party valuation specialist to calculate the intangible assets and estimate the purchase price of the agreement. The valuation utilized a share purchase price of $1.00, which constitutes a Level 2 fair value measurement.

The allocation of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition of USS was calculated as follows:

Purchase price (2)

$

1,000,000

Plus: Net liabilities assumed (3)

2,439,614

Intangibles (1)

$

3,439,614

(1) Intangibles were determined to consist of two separately identifiable intangible assets to be amortized over their useful lives of 3 years (the average time the Company has maintained customer and employee relationships). 50% of the value or $1,719,807 was attributable to Employee Expertise and 50% of the value or $1,719,807 was attributable to Customer Relationships.

(2) The purchase price was calculated by taking the recapitalization of James Maritime Holdings, Inc. shares of 1,000,000 (previously 100 Company shares) at $1.00 per share, resulting in a total purchase price of $1,000,000.

12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders less any preferred dividends by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) minus preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive).

There are approximately 64,783 number of shares that are not considered in the above calculation of 2023 diluted EPS as they would be anti-dilutive in nature. These shares are attributable to convertible notes issued in 2021. No other equity instruments exist that would be applied in the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the case they were dilutive in nature.

The Company had net operating losses of approximately $6,647,817 for both federal and state that were generated in the current year which do not expire but are subject to an 80% utilization against future taxable income.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability.

39

The Company's policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. There were no changes in the Company's unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during the 2023 and 2022 fiscal year related to unrecognized tax benefits.

15. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events occurring from January 1, 2024, through May 31, 2024, the date in which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 15. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we are subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies." Other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements under the JOBS Act for emerging growth companies include presentation of only two years audited financial statements in a registration statement for an initial public offering, an exemption from the requirement to provide an auditor's report on internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2012, an exemption from any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation, and less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of our first fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of closing of this offering, (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt instruments during the previous three fiscal years or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a "large accelerated filer" under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding equity securities held by non-affiliates.

Overview

James Maritime Holdings, Inc. operates mainly through its subsidiaries, Gladiator and USS. Gladiator specializes in the distribution of personal protective products, largely through mail-in orders and e-commerce channels. On the other hand, USS offers a combination of professional security personnel services, enhanced by smartphone-based security applications, providing a unique blend of traditional and modern security solutions. The consolidated financial statements were prepared according to U.S. GAAP and SEC regulations. The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year-end for financial statement reporting.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Our actual results may materially differ from these estimates.

41

The financial statements were prepared with estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. These estimates were used for inventories, impairment of long-term assets, and derivatives. The actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Business combinations were accounted for using the acquisition method. Assets, liabilities, and any remaining non-controlling interests were recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests, was recognized as goodwill. The company considers investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the purchase date as cash and cash equivalents.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management makes estimates that affect certain accounts including deferred income tax assets, accrued expenses, fair value of equity instruments and reserves for any other commitments or contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized in the period in which such adjustments are determined.

Results of Operations

The following tables set forth the components of our statements of operations for each of the periods presented and as a percentage of revenue for those periods. The period-to-period comparison of results of operations is not necessarily indicative of results of future periods.

YearsendedDecember 31, 2023,and 2022

For the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company had net sales of $8,820,348, in contrast to $4,063,122 in 2022, as the Company marked its first full year of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023. Accounts receivables reached $720,112 as of December 31, 2023, which is relatively consistent from the 2022 calendar year. Intangible assets decreased by $2,062,006 from $4,150,280 in 2022 to $2,088,274 in 2023 as a result of the full impairment of Gladiator assets.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $533,986 year over year. Deferred revenue, from advanced payments or unearned revenue, saw a decrease of $400,000 in 2023. Liabilities increased slightly from $3,592,112 as of December 31, 2022, to $3,733,310 as of December 31, 2023.

Cost of Revenue

The cost of sales for 2023 was $6,053,710, reflecting a full year of sales activities, compared to $3,213,604 in 2022. This growth in sales resulted from enhanced business operations and an expanded customer base as a result of global volatility and military conflicts in 2023.

General and Administrative

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $3,542,186 in 2023, in comparison to $3,162,780 in 2022. General and administrative expenses increased mainly due to accounting and legal expenses and administrative expenses resulting from our rapid growth via the acquisition of USS.

Other Income and Expenses

There was a gain from change in derivative liability of $156,354 in 2023. However, these gains were offset by interest expenses of $1,062,034 and financial expenses of $26,607. In total, the net other loss for 2023 was $931,950, a significant increase from net other income of $2,426,707 in 2022, which was mainly caused by the employee retention credits received in the prior year.

42

Net loss and Net Gain

The Company reported a net loss of $2,618,965 for 2023, compared to net income of $113,445 for 2022. The large change year over year is due to a large employee retention credit that was received in the prior year to offset operating losses. The Company saw a significant reduction in its operating losses during 2023 for a favorable change of $626,247. On a per-share basis, the basic and diluted net loss for 2023 was $0.27, respectively, compared to a net loss per share of $0.03 and $0.02, respectively, in basic and diluted terms for 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

None.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported net cash used in operating activities of $269,544, down from net cash provided by of $178,269 in 2022. This decrease can be mainly attributed to an increase in the net loss by $2,732,410. Other significant non-cash adjustments in 2023 included the loss on impairment of intangible assets of $911,467. This was offset by an increase in the changes in working capital by $859,959.

Investing Activities

In 2023, the net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $9,637 to zero, primarily due to a decrease in the cash acquired from the acquisition of United Security Specialists, Inc. (USS) of $21,437, offset by an acquisition of property and equipment of $11,800 in the previous year.

Financing Activities

Financing activities in 2023 resulted in a net cash outflow of $140,359. This was mainly due to repayments of notes and loans payable of $482,383 which was offset by proceeds from the issuance of notes payable amounting to $374,619. In 2022, the financing activities led to a net cash inflow of $157,088, primarily from the proceeds from the issuance of common stock totaling $400,000, offset by a net outflow for changes in the Company's debt financing of $242,912.

Going concern

The Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, are prepared using U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has yet to establish an ongoing source of revenue to finance its operating expenses and to continue as a going concern.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated a net loss of $2,618,965. The accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2023, is $13,915,927 ($11,454,076 as of December 31, 2022). In order to continue as a going concern, the Company plans to receive funds through the selling of equity securities to existing and new shareholders. The Company is also evaluating potential acquisitions in the corporate security space. Additionally, the Company has created and maintained good customer relationships during 2023 for both USS and Gladiator, which the Company is relying on to potentially generate sustainable sales throughout 2024 and afterward. While management maintains they will be able to continue to generate sufficient cash flows through a combination of operations, debt, and equity raises, there is no guarantee the Company will be able to raise or generate additional funds in the short term to meet present obligations as they come due. Due to these factors, there is substantial doubt the Company may be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our Business

As mentioned above, the Company is currently pursuing an aggressive growth strategy through M&A through strategic acquisition in the private security, personnel protective equipment and defense industries. Through our subsidiaries, James Maritime Holdings, Inc. is well positioned to be at the forefront of personal protective products, private security and government contracting.

The strategic acquisition of Gladiator Solutions, Inc. made us a leading personal protective product and technology company with an established line of trusted body armor, ballistic plates and ballistic materials. The timing for this acquisition was well timed to take advantage of an expansion in demand for these products as a result of the recent fighting in the Ukraine and our efforts to supply our allies with lifesaving personal protective equipment. By exporting our products during this critical time, we are able to boost sales and brand recognition for the Gladiator line of ballistics plates while also expanding revenues for additional strategic acquisitions in the defense space.

Shortly after closing our transaction with Gladiator, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire United Security Specialists, Inc., a leading private security company with licenses in California and key guard service contracts for armed and unarmed security services. USS is a recognized industry leader in this rapidly growing market, and this acquisition positions well for potentially uncertain times ahead where security and protective services will be increasingly shifted onto the private security industry. As this segment of the market continues to expand, we will be able to leverage the Gladiator product line for any contracts that require armed security with ballistic plates, or whenever our private security clients have security teams that require ballistic plates.

We hope to continue this trend as we expand into other security industry verticals as we identify additional acquisition candidates with disruptive, transformative or high technology defense systems and products that we can market to our existing client based at an affordable cost. We will continue to identify acquisition candidates with existing or developmental technologies for unmanned systems, space and satellite communications, electronic warfare and Command, Control, Communication, Computing, Combat, Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance ("C5ISR") Systems. Increasingly complicated compliance requirements and capital requirements will ensure that the barriers to entry in this space remain high, and we anticipate that upcoming requirements like Cyber Security Maturity Model Certification will force small businesses out of this space and away from defense contracting because they will not be able to justify the time and capital required to bid on government contracts. Moreover, the challenges with hiring quality guards, and the costs of insurance and inflation will continue to force a consolidation in the private security industry as poorly run security companies are forced out of the business.

Industry Background

In 2022, the U.S. increased its National Security Budget by 5.6% to $782,000,000,000 for Fiscal Year 2022 and approved $813,300,000,000 for Fiscal Year 2023 representing an additional 4%. In May 2022, the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022, was approved providing an additional $40,000,000,000 to help support the Ukraine. Meanwhile, according to a research study published to Globe Newswire by The Insight Partners1, the homeland security market is expected to grow in size from a value of $188,990,000,000 in 2022 to $275,500,000,000 by 2028 representing a compound annual growth rate of 6.5%.

Management for the Company believes that the best way to capture this growing market is by aggressively expanding our operations through acquisition.

About Gladiator Solutions, Inc.

Gladiator Solutions Inc. was originally developed by Law Enforcement and Military Personnel with one simple idea…to ensure the highest level of safety and comfort, at an affordable price. Our key emphasis is to provide our customers with lighter, safer and more affordable solutions that have greater ballistic capability. Our full line of hard armor plates, tactical ballistic plate carriers, soft armor inserts and vests, helmets, shields, and other ballistic products and accessories incorporate the latest materials and technology to ensure maximum protection and performance.

Whether for local law enforcement, federal and state agencies or the military, our High-Performance Polyethylene (HPPE) and hybrid UHMWP/Ceramic armor provides the highest level of protection at the lightest weight.

Gladiator products are leading the way with ultimate protection, extreme comfort, minimal weight products at unsurpassed value.

Gladiator products are tested and certified in accordance with protocols developed by the National Institute of Justice, US Military Specification and European Ballistics Standards.

Gladiator proudly employs retired Law Enforcement and Military personnel across virtually all functional areas within the Gladiator organization including Sales & Marketing, Distribution, Operations, Product Development/Innovation and Tactical Training.

What Sets Gladiator Apart?

We offer top quality solutions for Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement agencies, First Responders, National Armed forces, and Independent Security Contractors.

Unsurpassed Quality & Value

Our products provide extreme lightweight, incredible comfort, maximum strength solutions at affordable prices, without compromising performance, durability or quality.

Round Dispersion Technology (RDT)

Our ballistic plates absorb the round rather than deflecting/spalling like steel or fracturing like Ceramic. RDT spreads the kinetic energy delivered by the round from the point of impact to the surrounding area, diffusing the forces of impact over a larger area and dispersing the force of the round impact.

45

Testing Protocol

To ensure the highest quality solutions, we age, test and certify our NIJ & Special Threat plates to and beyond certification standards. This enables Gladiator to warranty our plates to 10 years vs. the industry standard 5 years. While most testing is conducted with the widest spread for impact points (to reduce the kinetic energy absorbed by the armor material), we target the smallest area possible with the highest concentration of kinetic energy in a localized area of impact, providing Gladiator with the confidence that we are providing the highest strength to weight ratio solution to our customers.

Materials & Composition

Our products are manufactured from high strength, high durability materials. The performance of these materials enables Gladiator to provide a 10-year warranty. While other products tend to break down over time, our products are manufactured from Polyethylene and Ceramic materials, providing a long and unsurpassed service life.

Compliance

We conduct our sales in accordance with Department of Justice (DOJ), the Commerce Department and the Department of State ruled governing all export controls including the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR).

Customer Satisfaction

Our customer service is industry leading, delivering products within 4-6 weeks of order and providing timely updates throughout the production process.

Gladiator's Capabilities

In addition to providing the highest quality ballistic protection, Gladiator also offers a full arrangement of tactical outfitting and equipment from some of the most respected brands in the industry.

About United Security Specialists (USS)

USS Mission

The mission of USS is to recruit right train right and respond early. Our clients should expect day-to-day quality, consistency, and professionalism. Our security personnel are more experienced, better supervised, and are dedicated to the highest level of work.

USS History

USS was built on ethics and integrity. Kyle and Henry founded this company in 2017 when they discovered a number of industry practices that were neither ethical nor acceptable. Starting USS was an exciting endeavor that had allowed them to utilize and combine their years of experience with their solid work ethic and integrity. We value every client that has partnered with us, and we work to establish a solid relationship with our team. It is the strong relationship bonds that help our company continue to grow and to serve more valued partners.

Our Guards

We have highly trained and committed professionals from law enforcement, military, and security veterans' communities who are all specializing in providing one thing: on site, visible protection. We take pride in delivering the highest level of trust to our clients; therefore, we have a robust qualifying process to ensure all our team members are not just qualified but also enthusiastic and professional.

Our Services

We pride ourselves in providing the most reliable protection in the security guard industry. With over 10 years of experience, we have proven to be unshakable and trustworthy. To enhance our service, we implement the latest technology into our process. With our mobile app provided by SilverTrac, our guards are able to check in, make reports and take photos in real time as they patrol.

USS will also focus on adding services which customize real-time remote monitoring enhanced by artificial intelligence with timely in person security response.

USS services are grouped into three main categories:

1) On Site Protection

2) Mobile Patrol

3) Event Security

___________________________________________________________________________________

On Site Protection

As a trusted provider of security specialists in the Bay Area, we understand the importance of reliable, professional and courteous security service, especially when it involves on-site protection at your establishment. Regardless of the scale of your need, from a single guard at the reception area to deploying multiple teams of officers for warehouse protection, USS will provide your organization with a solution that fits for you and your team.

Starting with our risk assessment framework, our expertise is in efficiently and effectively developing solutions that match different combinations of business environments and their specific security needs.

47

Mobile Patrol

Having security specialists check in on your property on a scheduled route is a prevalent approach for many businesses that do not require a constant on-site presence. Our risk assessment team will help determine the most appropriate time frame and frequency of the patrolling route. Our licensed security specialists will carry out all of the inspection procedures designed specifically for your site according to plan. All activities are updated through our proprietary real-time reporting and location-tracking technology. We pride ourselves in utilizing the latest technology to enhance our services. With our mobile app provided by SilverTrac, our guards are able to check in, file incident reports and take photos in real time as they patrol.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Event Security

USS has an outstanding track record as a top tier event security partner. We have solid experience with security and crowd control at major concerts, outdoors events and convention center programs. Our specialists are well-trained for large events so they can easily identify potential threats and mitigate them to avoid interruptions and disturbances. With USS as your partner, you can focus on the event agenda knowing that your employees and guests are safe, litigation risk is reduced, and your event will go off without a hitch.

48

___________________________________________________________________________________

Our Competitive Strengths

Our competitive edge in the security industry lies in our in-field support and quality control through responsiveness to customers, investment in field, our supervisors and our administrative support. For guard services, this allows us to minimize the #1 strategic risk for our industry, which is litigation risk. Another competitive advantage that we have is our access to a pipeline of highly professional, military-trained and experienced personnel for our high-end clients facing significant threats such as synagogues and schools.

In the protective products industry, our strength is the unsurpassed quality and value of our products. Not only are our products light weight and comfortable, but we are able to provide the maximum level of ballistic protection at affordable prices, and without compromising performance, durability or quality.

Our desire to drive innovation and create ever lighter, stronger, more practical and effective products and protection solutions is what drives us. As a lean, flexible and nimble company, we are constantly challenging the status quo within our organization, and we are never set in our ways. Through innovation we are able to deliver a lighter, thinner and more effective for ballistic protective plate for law enforcement, military and responsible civilians.

We are always working harder to strengthening the Gladiator community by raising our standards of customer service and overall customer satisfaction. Our team is an industry leader in customer service, and we achieve this by delivering products much faster that our competition, usually within 4-6 weeks while providing timely updates throughout the production process.

Our Growth and Marketing Strategy

The elements of our growth strategy start with our commitment to continuous capital reinvestment into our Company, its subsidiaries and our strategic industry partners. We lead by example and set the pace for our industry in order to attract the leading regional security companies and protective products companies to join us as stakeholders. The core of our business growth strategy is to engage directly with our community stakeholders in growing urban markets where the breakdown of cultural values and community investment has left a vacuum of need.

Risks Associated with Our Business

Our business is subject to numerous risks, which are more fully described in the section entitled "Risk Factor" beginning on page 14 of this document. We may be unable, for many reasons, including those that are beyond our control, to implement our business strategy.

As a result of these risks and other risks there is no guarantee that we will experience growth or profitability in the future.

49

Recent Developments

There are several trends that provide opportunities and risks for USS:

o

The breakdown and underfunding of traditional law enforcement leading to passive response to riots, resulting break-ins, shoplifting, and property destruction on the large scale (See Portland 2020).

o

The rise of the lawless corollary on the small scale with burgeoning vagrancy, break-ins and theft (e.g., catalytic converters in automobiles, construction materials such as tools and copper conduit).

o

The refusal of cities to enforce vagrancy laws and suppress the crime associated with chronic criminal trespassing and its detrimental effect on business. This leads to a transfer of burden to business owners who turn to private security companies to mitigate. This applies to all sectors - residential, commercial and municipal.

o

Finally, the sense of personal physical risk has been heightened in culture leading to the need to provide protection to employees and residents. For example, employees want protection as they come and go to their vehicle in areas of high crime.

We are especially committed to supporting our employees and fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion that makes our employees feel safe, empowered and engaged.

After completion of this offering, we will be engaging resources to focus on a broader Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) program across our business. We are targeting to complete an ESG assessment by the end of the year. This assessment will help us prioritize our ESG strategies going forward.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for our current executive officers, Kip Eardley, our President, CEO, and Ray Sheets, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. We refer to these individuals as our "named executive officers."

Compensation Philosophy

Following the closing of this offering, we expect that our compensation program for our executive officers will consist of the following components:

·base salary;

·cash bonuses; and

·equity-based incentive awards.

Base Salary

Base salary is an important component of executive compensation because it provides executives with an assured level of income, assists us in attracting executives and recognizes different levels of responsibility and authority among executives. The determination of base salaries is based upon the executive's qualifications and experience, scope of responsibility and potential to achieve the goals and objectives established for the executive. Additionally, contractual provisions in executive employment agreements, past performance, internal pay equity and comparison to competitive salary practices are also considered.

Cash Bonus Plan

To date, there is no formal cash bonus plan for any of our named executive officers.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table shows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, compensation awarded to or paid to, or earned by, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the "Named Executive Officers").

57

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

We are a Nevada corporation governed by the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS.

Section 78.138 of the NRS provides that, unless the corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a director or officer will not be individually liable unless it is proven that (i) the director's or officer's acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.

Section 78.7502 of the NRS permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, if the officer or director (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful. Section 78.7502 of the NRS also precludes indemnification by the corporation if the officer or director has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court determines that in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses and requires a corporation to indemnify its officers and directors if they have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any claim, issue, or matter resulting from their service as a director or officer.

Section 78.751 of the NRS permits a Nevada corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of a final disposition thereof, upon determination by the stockholders, the disinterested board members, or by independent legal counsel. Section 78.751 of the NRS provides that the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, or an agreement may require a corporation to advance expenses as incurred upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation if so provided in the corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other agreement. Section 78.751 of the NRS further permits the corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other agreement.

Section 78.752 of the NRS provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

The foregoing discussion of indemnification merely summarizes certain aspects of indemnification provisions and is limited by reference to the above discussed sections of the NRS.

Our articles of incorporation provide that, except in some specified instances, our directors and officers shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors and officers, except liability for the following:

·acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law; or

·the payment of distributions in violation of NRS 78.300, as amended.

58

In addition, our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS. Our bylaws also authorize us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against that person in that capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify that person against such liability and expenses.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer, or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

59

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Set forth below are summaries of related person transactions for James Maritime Holdings, Inc. covering the periods indicated. It is our intention to ensure that all future transactions, if any, between us and related persons are approved by our audit committee or a majority of the independent and disinterested members of our board of directors (except for compensation arrangements, which are approved by our compensation committee), and are on terms no less favorable to us than those that we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties. See "Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions" below.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

None.

Corporate Governance and Director Independence

The Company has not:

·

established its own definition for determining whether its directors and nominees for directors are "independent" nor has it adopted any other standard of independence employed by any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, though our current director would not be deemed to be "independent" under any applicable definition given that he is an officer of the Company; nor

·

established any committees of the board of directors.

Given the nature of the Company's business, its limited stockholder base and the current composition of management, the board of directors does not believe that the Company requires any corporate governance committees at this time.

As of the date hereof, the entire board serves as the Company's audit committee.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our articles of incorporation and our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities, expenses and other accounts imposed upon them because of having been a director or officer, except in the case of (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or (ii) the payment of distributions in violation of NRS 78.300, as amended. See "Description of Capital Stock-Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers" on page 58 of this prospectus.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Our board of directors will adopt a written policy with respect to related person transactions, which will become effective at the time of this offering. This policy will govern the review, approval or ratification of covered related person transactions. The audit committee of our board of directors will manage this policy.

For purposes of the policy, a "related person transaction" is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we were, are or will be a participant, and the amount involved exceeds the applicable dollar threshold set forth under Item 404 of Regulation S-K and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. As defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K, "related person" generally includes our directors (and director nominees), executive officers, holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, and immediate family members or affiliates of such persons.

60

The policy will generally provide that we may enter into a related person transaction only if:

·the audit committee pre-approves such transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy,

·the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm's length dealings with an unrelated third party and the audit committee (or the chairperson of the audit committee) approves or ratifies such transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy,

·the transaction is approved by the disinterested members of the board of directors, or

·the transaction involves compensation approved by our compensation committee.

The policy will provide that all related person transactions will be disclosed to the audit committee, and all material related person transactions will be disclosed to the board of directors. Additionally, all related person transactions requiring public disclosure will be properly disclosed, as applicable, on our various public filings.

61

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities as of December 31, 2023, by:

·each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us who will beneficially own more than 5% of any class of our voting capital stock;

·each of our directors;

·each of our named executive officers; and

·all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The table is based on information provided to us by our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including stock options and warrants that are exercisable within 60 days of June 30, 2024. To our knowledge, except as indicated by footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of voting capital stock shown as beneficially owned by them. Shares of voting capital stock underlying derivative securities, if any, that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after June 30, 2024 are deemed to be outstanding in calculating the percentage ownership of the applicable person or group but are not deemed to be outstanding as to any other person or group.

Percentage of common stock is based on 8,741,429 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o James Maritime Holdings, Inc., 9160 South 300 West, #101 Sandy, UT 84070.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following description summarizes the most important terms of our capital stock. We are incorporated in the State of Nevada. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and to the applicable provisions of Nevada law.

Authorized Capital Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 90,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 2,000,000 shares have been designated Series A Preferred Stock, and 1,000,000 shares have been designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 9,051,429 shares of common stock outstanding, 400,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and 50,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.

Common Stock

The following summarizes the rights of holders of our common stock:

·each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon generally by the stockholders;

·subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock that may be issued and outstanding, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive lawful dividends as may be declared by our board of directors;

·upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our shares of common stock are entitled to receive a pro rata portion of all of our assets remaining for distribution after satisfaction of all its liabilities and the payment of any liquidation preference of any then outstanding preferred stock;

·there is no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock; and

·there are no preemptive or conversion rights applicable to our common stock.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time, in one or more designated series, any or all of our authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock with dividend, redemption, conversion, exchange, voting and other provisions as may be provided in that particular series. The issuance need not be approved by our common stockholders.

The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of a new series of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of entrenching our board of directors and making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Series A Preferred Stock

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock have no preferences as to dividends or liquidation rights. With respect to all matters upon which shareholders are entitled to vote, each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast thirty (30) votes in person or by proxy for each share of Series A Preferred Stock standing in such holder's name. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock have no redemption or conversion rights.

64

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to be paid out of the assets available for distribution an amount in cash equal to $0.05 per share plus all unpaid dividends previously declared thereon to the date of final distribution. No distribution shall be made on any common stock or other series of preferred stock by reason of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless each holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock receives all amounts to which such holder is entitled. In the event the assets available for distribution to holders of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are insufficient to pay such holders the full amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled, the assets available for distribution shall be distributed to them pro rata.

Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is equal to ten (10) shares of common stock for voting purposes.

Any payment of any dividend or redemption of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is subordinate to payment in full of all indebtedness of us to any financial institution. Furthermore, we have the right to redeem shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at any time after issuance pursuant to at least thirty (30) days written notice at a redemption price of $0.25 per share, plus any unpaid dividends, if applicable, on such shares as of the redemption date.

At the option of the holder of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, upon ten (10) days written notice the holder may convert any portion of such holder's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to shares of common stock at a ratio of one (1) share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for fifty (50) shares of common stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Nevada Law and our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

Some provisions of Nevada law, our articles of incorporation, and our bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Undesignated Preferred Stock

The ability of our board of directors, without action by the stockholders, to issue shares of preferred stock, which was previously authorized but remain undesignated, other than the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with voting or other rights or preferences as designated by our board of directors could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of us.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Our bylaws allow for any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders to be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

65

Stockholders Not Entitled to Cumulative Voting

Our articles of incorporation do not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they choose, other than any directors that holders of our preferred stock may be entitled to elect.

Nevada Business Combination Statutes

The "business combination" provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the NRS, generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various "combination" transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders, and extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless:

·the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or the combination is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders; or

·if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.

A "combination" is generally defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an "interested stockholder" having: (a) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation, and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested stockholder.

In general, an "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation's voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

Nevada Control Share Acquisition Statutes

The "control share" provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS apply to "issuing corporations" that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada. The control share statute prohibits an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporation's stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation's disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once an acquire crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares in an offer or acquisition and acquired within 90 days thereof become "control shares" and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or

66

more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters' rights.

A corporation may elect to not be governed by, or "opt out" of, the control share provisions by making an election in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of the control share statutes and will be subject to these statutes if we are an "issuing corporation" as defined in such statutes.

The effect of the Nevada control share statutes is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of us.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock.

This discussion is limited to Non-U.S. Holders that hold our common stock as a "capital asset" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a Non- U.S. Holder's particular circumstance, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

·U.S. expatriates and former citizens or long-term residents of the U.S.

·persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

·persons holding our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment;

·banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions;

·brokers, dealers or traders in securities;

·"controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment companies" and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

·partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein);

·tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

·persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

·persons who hold or receive our common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation;

·tax-qualified retirement plans;

·"qualified foreign pension funds" and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds; and

·persons subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to our common stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our common stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

68

Definition of a Non-U.S. Holder

For purposes of this discussion, a "Non-U.S. Holder" is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is neither a "U.S. person" nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

·an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

·a corporation or entity treated as a corporation that is created or organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

·an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

·a trust that (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more "United States persons" (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (ii) has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Distributions

As described in the section titled "Dividend Policy," we do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we make distributions of cash or property on our common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under "-Sale or Other Taxable Disposition."

Subject to the discussions below on effectively connected income, backup withholding and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment or fixed base in the U.S. to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the U.S..

Any such effectively connected dividends generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also generally will be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits attributable to such dividends, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition

Subject to the discussions below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

·the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment or fixed base in the U.S. to which such gain is attributable).

·the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

·our common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest, or USRPI, by reason of our status as a U.S. real property holding corporation, or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

69

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also generally will be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits attributable to such gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the third bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the U.S.), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is "regularly traded," as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder's holding period. If we are a USRPHC and either our common stock is not regularly traded on an established securities market or a Non-U.S. Holder holds more than 5% of our common stock, actually or constructively, during the applicable testing period, such Non-U.S. Holder will generally be taxed on any gain in the same manner as gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, except that the branch profits tax generally will not apply.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends on our common stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our common stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the U.S. or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated relationships with the U.S. generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS also may be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

70

Additional Withholding Tax on Payments Made to Foreign Accounts

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (commonly referred to as FATCA) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock paid to a "foreign financial institution" or a "non-financial foreign entity" (each as defined in the Code), unless (i) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (ii) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any "substantial United States owners" (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (i) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertakes to identify accounts held by certain "specified United States persons" or "United States-owned foreign entities" (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies currently to payments of dividends on our common stock. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock on or after January 1, 2021, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our common stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of common stock to permit the resale of these shares by the selling security holders after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling security holders. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

The selling security holders will offer and sell the shares of common stock at a fixed price of $3.50 per share until our common stock is quoted on an established public trading market, at which time the shares may be sold at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. However, there is currently no established public trading market for our common stock, and we cannot assure you that a significant market will develop.

The selling security holders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly to purchasers or through agents designated from time to time. In connection with the sales, the selling security holders may enter into agreements with broker-dealers or agents who may receive commissions or fees from the selling security holders or the purchasers of the shares.

The shares of common stock may be sold by the selling security holders using one or more of the following methods:

-Direct Sales: Sales made directly to purchasers without the involvement of underwriters or agents.

-Brokered Transactions: Sales effected through agents who solicit or receive offers to purchase the shares.

Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may be sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling security holders that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may apply to their sales of shares in the market. We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective during the period the selling security holders are offering and selling the shares covered by this prospectus.

There can be no assurance that any selling security holder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholder and the Board of Directors of

JAMES MARITIME HOLDINGS, INC.

OPINION ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of JAMES MARITIME HOLDINGS, INC. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023, and the related statement of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BASIS FOR OPINION

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of James Maritime Holdings Inc and subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statement of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Substantial Doubt about the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit and has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue to finance its operating expenses. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

JAMES MARITIME HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

1. Nature and Continuance of Operations

Business Operations Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JAMES MARITIME HOLDINGS, INC. ("James Maritime") and its majority-owned subsidiary, Gladiator Solutions Inc. ("Gladiator"), and its wholly owned subsidiary United Security Specialists Inc. ("USS") (collectively as the "Company").

Substantially all of the Company's business is conducted through its subsidiaries, Gladiator and USS. Gladiator produces revenues through the distribution of personal protective products, primarily through mail-in orders to customers or via e-commerce sales generated through their website. USS provides professional security personnel enhanced by smartphone-based security applications.

Share Exchange Agreement - United Security Specialists, Inc.

On September 23, 2022, James Maritime Holdings completed a share exchange agreement with USS.

As a result of the exchange, James Maritime became the sole shareholder of USS, holding 100% of all shares outstanding. See Note 3 for further information.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year-end for financial statement reporting purposes.

All operations activity related to James Maritimes' subsidiary, Gladiator, all operations are included within consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

All operations activity related to James Maritimes' subsidiary, USS, for the year ended December 31, 2022, will only reflect activity from September 23, 2022 through December 31, 2022, the period for which USS was acquired and owned by James Maritime. All operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 are included within consolidated statement of operations.

All intercompany balances were eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Non-controlling interests are classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as a component of equity. The amounts of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to both the Company and the non-controlling interests are separately presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

F-9

Table of Contents

JAMES MARITIME HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

Going concern

The Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, are prepared using U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has yet to establish an ongoing source of revenue to finance its operating expenses and to continue as a going concern.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated a net loss of $2,618,965. The accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2023 is $13,915,927 ($11,454,076 as of December 31, 2022). In order to continue as a going concern, the Company plans to receive funds through the selling of equity securities to existing and new shareholders. The Company is also evaluating potential acquisitions in the corporate security space. Additionally, the Company has created and maintained good customer relationships during 2023 for both USS and Gladiator, which the Company is relying on to potentially generate sustainable sales throughout 2024 and afterward. While management maintains they will be able to continue to generate sufficient cash flows through a combination of operations, debt, and equity raises, there is no guarantee the Company will be able to raise or generate additional funds in the short term to meet present obligations as they come due. Due to these factors, there is substantial doubt the Company may be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting amounts of assets and liabilities.

Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for inventories, impairment of long-term assets and derivatives.

It is reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation, or set of circumstances that existing at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results of could differ significantly from those estimates.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non- controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of assets and liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in the Company's results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.

F-10

Table of Contents

JAMES MARITIME HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash accounts with financial institutions, where, at times, deposits exceed federal insurance limits of $250,000. The Company believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances due to its assessment of the credit worthiness and financial viability of the financial institutions.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of finished goods. Costs of finished goods inventories include all costs incurred to bring inventory to its current condition, which includes standard cost paid to suppliers, shipping costs, and other costs. The Company values its inventory using specific identification method of each inventory item. If the Company determines that the estimated net realizable value of its inventory is less than the carrying value of such inventory, it records a charge to cost of goods sold to reflect the lower of cost or net realizable value. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the Company, further adjustments may be required that would increase the cost of goods sold in the period in which such a determination was made.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are generally recorded at the invoiced amounts, net of an allowance for expected losses. The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where the Company becomes aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded, which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company's historical losses and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding. The allowance for accounts receivable is established through a provision reducing the carrying value of receivables. On December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company determined that no allowance was necessary.

Leases

The Company accounts for a contract as a lease when it has the right to direct the use of the asset for a period of time while obtaining substantially all of the asset's economic benefits. The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. ROU assets and liabilities are represented on the balance sheet at the present value of future minimum lease payments to be made over the lease term. Leases that are insignificant or with a 12-month term or less at inception are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and are expensed as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2023, the Company leased real estate and office space under non-cancelable operating lease agreements that qualified for ROU accounting treatment.

Property and equipment

The Company records depreciation when appropriate using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The estimated useful lives of the Company's property and equipment by class are as follows:

Asset classes

Useful lives (in years)

Vehicles

5

Furniture and fixtures

Table of Contents

JAMES MARITIME HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

Management regularly reviews property, equipment, and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Based on management's assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company's property and equipment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are allocated to the reporting units that are expected to receive the related benefits. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company determined that all intangibles were fully recognizable at their net book values and therefore no impairment was deemed necessary.

On September 23, 2022, the Company executed a share exchange agreement that resulted in the recognition of intangible assets (see Note 4 - USS Share Exchange Agreement). Management has determined that the intangible assets extrapolated from the share exchange agreement will be amortized over the useful life of 3 years.

Convertible Debt and Derivative Liabilities

The convertible debt is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of 10% of the lowest trading price during the previous five trading days. The terms of the embedded conversion feature require embedded derivative instrument treatment and classification as a separate liability. The conversion feature and certain other features are considered embedded derivative instruments, such as a conversion reset provision, a penalty provision and redemption option, which are to be recorded at their fair value as its fair value can be separated from the convertible note and its conversion is independent of the underlying note. The Company records the resulting discount on debt related to the conversion features at initial transaction and amortizes the discount using the effective interest rate method over the life of the debt instruments. The conversion liability is then marked to market each reporting period with the resulting gains or losses shown in the consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of promised products or services to its customers, which occurs either at a point in time or over time, depending on when the customer obtains the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the products or services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:

(1) Identify the contract with the customer,

(2) identify the performance obligations in the contract,

(3) determine the transaction price,

(4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

(5) recognize revenue when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied.

Net revenues from Gladiator primarily consist of sales of personal protective products, including armor, plates, helmets, shields, and accessories shipped directly to customers. All revenue transactions for Gladiator comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through wholesale, intermediary, or direct-to-consumer channels. The company satisfies the performance obligation and records revenues when transfer of control has passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale. In all of the Companies revenue channels, transfer of control takes place at the point of sale upon shipment to customer.

F-12

Table of Contents

JAMES MARITIME HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

Net revenues from United Securities primarily consist of security services provided to large residential, industrial, construction and government clients. Contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. The Company does offer discounts, but historically the discounts have been insignificant. The Company satisfies the performance obligation for the agreed-upon period of time and location and records revenues after completion. There are no services that would be considered fulfilled over an extended period of time and necessitate different accounting treatment.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses. Advertising production costs are expensed the first time an advertisement related to such production costs is run. Media (television, print and radio) placement costs are expensed in the month during which the advertisement appears. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were $80,196 and $50,110, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company incurs freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers. These costs are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, shipping and handling costs totaled $13,196 and $35,122, respectively.

Earnings (loss) per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution from common shares issuable through stock options, restricted stock units and other equity awards. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company generated a net income, therefore calculated diluted earnings per share with the applicable equity instruments. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated net losses, therefore applying applicable equity instruments for diluted earnings (loss) per share would have had an anti-dilutive effect. Please see Note 14 for the computation of earnings (loss) per common share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts shown for the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and notes and loans approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments.

The Company groups its recurring, non-recurring and disclosure-only fair value measurements into the following levels when making fair value measurement disclosures:

Level 1

Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3

Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

F-13

Table of Contents

JAMES MARITIME HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The Company and its subsidiaries use, as appropriate, a market approach (generally, data from market transactions), an income approach (generally, present value techniques and option-pricing models), and / or a cost approach (generally, replacement cost) to measure the fair value of an asset or liability. These valuation approaches incorporate inputs such as observable, independent market data and/or unobservable data that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to price an asset or liability. These inputs may incorporate, as applicable, certain risks such as nonperformance risk, which includes credit risk.

The Company received a fair value assessment from a third-party prior to the business combination with Gladiator. See Note 3 for further details and assumptions used in the calculation.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at tax rates expected to be in effect when such assets or liabilities are realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date of a change in tax rates. Deferred income tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances when necessary. On December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required. The 2020 through 2023 tax years remain subject to examination by federal and most state tax authorities.

Commitments and Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings. The Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings, or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is possible but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests are classified in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as a component of equity. The amounts of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to both the Company and the non-controlling interests are separately presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Statements Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, which may result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective beginning January 1, 2023 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have any material impact on the Company's financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer's Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options ("ASU 2021-04"). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity- classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021- 04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have any material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

On September 23, 2022 (the "USS Closing date"), USS entered into a share exchange agreement with the Company, in which all the outstanding shares, 100 common shares, no par value, were exchanged for 1,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value of James Maritime common stock.

The Company also included contingent considerations if USS meets or exceeds certain earnings before interest, taxes, amortization ("EBITDA") thresholds:

-

$20,000,000 and 15% during any consecutive (12) month period commencing on the Closing date and ending on December 31, 2025 ("the Measurement Period"), the Company shall issue an aggregate 500,000 shares of James Maritime stock

$50,000,000 and15% during the measurement period, the Company shall issue an aggregate 500,000 shares of James Maritime stock

If all criteria are met, an aggregate of 2,000,000 earnout shares will be awarded to the Company.

The Company utilized a third-party valuation specialist to calculate the intangible assets and estimate the purchase price of the agreement. The valuation utilized a share purchase price of $1.00, which constitutes a Level 2 fair value measurement.

The allocation of the purchase price in connection with the acquisition of USS was calculated as follows:

Purchase price (2)

$

1,000,000

Plus: Net liabilities assumed (3)

2,439,614

Intangibles (1)

$

3,439,614

(1) Intangibles were determined to consist of two separately identifiable intangible assets to be amortized over their useful lives of 3 years (the average time the Company has maintained customer and employee relationships). 50% of the value or $1,719,807 was attributable to Employee Expertise and 50% of the value or $1,719,807 was attributable to Customer Relationships.

(2) The purchase price was calculated by taking the recapitalization of James Maritime Holdings shares of 1,000,000 (previously 100 Company shares) at $1.00 per share, resulting in a total purchase price of $1,000,000.

Preferred Stock

a. Authorized and voting rights

The Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 shares of its series A preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.001. Each share of the series A preferred stock has the equivalent voting power of (30) thirty shares of the Company's common stock. The series A preferred stock does not have any liquidation or dividend rights or preferences. On July 20, 2021 the Company converted 1,600,000 preferred shares held by a related party, in exchange for 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "July conversion"). The series A preferred stock does not have any native convertible rights, preferences, or other conversion terms, and the Company had not previously signed an agreement setting conversion terms for the July conversion. Therefore, the July conversion met the requirements under ASC 260 to be considered a preferred stock extinguishment for the purposes of calculating the company's earnings per share available to common shareholders. There were no transactions during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

12. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders less any preferred dividends by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) minus preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive).

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

There are approximately 64,783 number of shares that are not considered in the above calculation of 2023 diluted EPS as they would be anti-dilutive in nature. These shares are attributable to convertible notes issued in 2021. No other equity instruments exist that would be applied in the calculation of diluted earnings per share in the case they were dilutive in nature.

13. Concentration of Risk

The Company is potentially subject to concentration risk in its sales revenue and sources of inventory.

The Company has two major customers that accounted for approximately 27% ($2,359,000) and 20% ($1,775,000) and 29% ($1,195,000) and 19% ($773,239) in sales revenue in 2023 and 2022, respectively.

$

-

The Company had net operating losses of approximately $6,647,817 for both federal and state that were generated in the current year which do not expire but are subject to an 80% utilization against future taxable income.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability.

The Company's policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income taxes in the statement of operations. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. There were no changes in the Company's unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties during the 2023 and 2022 fiscal year related to unrecognized tax benefits.

15. Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events occurring from January 1, 2024 through June 3, 2024, the date in which the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital immediately in order to continue to fund its operations. The Company has relied on related parties for debt-based funding of its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations.

The Company's operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company's future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company's ability to successfully expand to new markets, competition, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

There can be no assurances that financing will be available on terms which are favorable, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to delay, reduce, or cease its operations.

We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company had cash on hand of $174,962 at June 30, 2024.

The Company has historically incurred significant losses since inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues from the sales of its products and services to achieve profitable operations. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the twelve months ended June 30, 2025, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these financial statements are issued.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

Management's strategic plans include the following:

·

Expand into new and existing markets (commercial and residential),

·

Obtain additional debt and/or equity-based financing,

·

Collaborations with other operating businesses for strategic opportunities; and

·

Acquire other businesses to enhance or complement our current business model while accelerating our growth.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Non-Controlling Interest

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

For entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, a portion of the income or loss and corresponding equity is allocated to owners other than the Company. The aggregate of the income or loss and corresponding equity that is not owned by us is included in Non-Controlling Interests in the consolidated financial statements.

Business Segments and Concentrations

The Company uses the "management approach" to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company's reportable segments. The Company manages its business as one reportable segment.

Customers in the United States accounted for 100% of our revenues. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparing 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, which include both quantitative and qualitative assessments that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, include, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of loss contingencies, valuation of stock-based compensation, estimated useful lives related to property and equipment, impairment of intangible assets, implicit interest rate in right-of-use operating leases, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and changes in consumer demand. The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.

The Company has experienced, and in the future may experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company's distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company's operating results on a consistent basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on the Company's principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.

The three tiers are defined as follows:

·

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

·

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and

·

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement's placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management's assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate. Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

F-34

Table of Contents

The Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses - related party, are carried at historical cost. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

ASC 825-10 "Financial Instruments" allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value ("fair value option"). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company did not experience any losses on cash balances in excess of FDIC insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral.

Management periodically assesses the Company's accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.

The following is a summary of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Impairment of Long-lived Assets including Internal Use Capitalized Software Costs

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company's identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-35-15 "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include but are not limited to significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company's business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets.

If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

There were no impairment losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.

Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

There were no impairment losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, ("ASC 480"), "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, ("ASC 815") "Derivatives and Hedging". Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations (other income/expense) as a gain or loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company uses a Black-Scholes pricing model to determine fair value of these instruments.

F-36

Table of Contents

Upon conversion or repayment of a debt instrument in exchange for shares of common stock, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability (generally convertible debt and warrants), the Company records the shares of common stock at fair value, relieves all related debt, derivative liabilities, and any remaining unamortized debt discounts, and where appropriate recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment (debt based derivative liabilities). In connection with any extinguishments of equity based derivative liabilities (typically warrants), the Company records an increase to additional paid-in capital for any remaining liability balance extinguished.

Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

Original Issue Discounts and Other Debt Discounts

For certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Additionally, the Company may issue common stock with certain notes issued, which are recorded at fair value. These discounts are also recorded as a component of debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The combined debt discounts cannot exceed the face amount of the debt issued.

Debt Issue Cost

Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Right of Use Assets and Lease Obligations

The Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability reflect the present value of the Company's estimated future minimum lease payments over the lease term, which may include options that are reasonably assured of being exercised, discounted using a collateralized incremental borrowing rate.

Typically, renewal options are considered reasonably assured of being exercised if the associated asset lives of the building or leasehold improvements exceed that of the initial lease term, and the performance of the business remains strong. Therefore, the Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability may include an assumption on renewal options that have not yet been exercised by the Company. The Company's operating leases contained renewal options that expire at various dates with no residual value guarantees. Future obligations relating to the exercise of renewal options is included in the measurement if, based on the judgment of management, the renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Factors in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of leasehold improvements, the value of the renewal rate compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to the Company if the option is not exercised. Management reasonably plans to exercise all options, and as such, all renewal options are included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities.

As the rate implicit in leases are not readily determinable, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to calculate the lease liability that represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular currency environment. See Note 7 for third party and related party operating leases.

Revenue Recognition

Under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives, discounts, rebates, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The Company's contracts with its customers do not include multiple performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

F-37

Table of Contents

The following represents the analysis management has considered in determining its revenue recognition policy:

Identify the contract with a customer

A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party's rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer's intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer's ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer's historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

Determine the transaction price

The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company's judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur.

None of the Company's contracts contain a significant financing component.

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. For example, a bonus or penalty may be associated with one or more, but not all, distinct services promised in a series of distinct services that forms part of a single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately.

If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

The Company's contracts have a distinct single performance obligation and there are no contracts with variable consideration.

Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation

Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.

Net revenues from Gladiator primarily consist of sales of personal protective products, including armor, plates, helmets, shields, and accessories shipped directly to customers. All revenue transactions for Gladiator comprise a single performance obligation, which consists of the sale of products to customers either through wholesale, intermediary, or direct-to-consumer channels. The company satisfies the performance obligation and records revenues when transfer of control has passed to the customer, based on the terms of sale. In all of the Companies revenue channels, transfer of control takes place at the point of sale upon shipment to customer.

F-38

Table of Contents

Net revenues from USS primarily consist of security services provided to large residential, industrial, construction and government clients. Contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. The Company does offer discounts, but historically the discounts have been insignificant. The Company satisfies the performance obligation for the agreed-upon period of time and location and records revenues after completion. There are no services that would be considered fulfilled over an extended period of time and necessitate different accounting treatment.

Disaggregation of Revenues

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, "Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes". Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets

The Company's deferred income tax assets include certain future tax benefits. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if events indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with all other available positive and negative evidence.

Certain categories of evidence carry more weight in the analysis than others based upon the extent to which the evidence may be objectively verified. The Company looks to the nature and severity of cumulative pretax losses (if any) in the current three-year period ending on the evaluation date, recent pretax losses and/or expectations of future pretax losses.

F-39

Table of Contents

Other factors considered in the determination of the probability of the realization of the deferred tax assets include, but are not limited to:

·

Earnings history;

·

Projected future financial and taxable income based upon existing reserves and long-term estimates of commodity prices;

·

The duration of statutory carry forward periods;

·

Prudent and feasible tax planning strategies readily available that may alter the timing of reversal of the temporary difference;

·

Nature of temporary differences and predictability of reversal patterns of existing temporary differences; and

·

The sensitivity of future forecasted results to commodity prices and other factors.

Concluding that a valuation allowance is not required is difficult when there is significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable, such as cumulative losses in recent years. The Company utilizes a rolling twelve quarters of pre-tax income or loss as a measure of its cumulative results in recent years. However, a cumulative three year loss is not solely determinative of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company also considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets resulting in a net carrying amount of $0.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company recognized $15,778 and $28,444 in marketing and advertising costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company recognized $21,049 and $62,332 in marketing and advertising costs during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.

The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and uses the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options.

The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

When determining fair value of stock options, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

·

Exercise price,

·

Expected dividends,

·

Expected volatility,

·

Risk-free interest rate; and

·

Expected life of option

Stock Warrants

In connection with certain financing (debt or equity), consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of warrants issued for compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. However, for warrants issued that meet the definition of a derivative liability, fair value is determined based upon the use of a Black-Scholes pricing model.

Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants (for services) are recorded at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance if there is not a service period.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of contingently issuable shares, common stock issuable upon the conversion of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), and convertible debt. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.

In the event of a net loss, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the effect of the potential common stock equivalents upon conversion would be anti-dilutive.

The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

June 30,

2024

December 31,

2023

Warrants

1,625,000

1,000,000

Warrants included as commons stock equivalents represent those that are fully vested and exercisable.

Based on the potential common stock equivalents noted above at June 30, 2024, the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock (90,000,000) to settle any potential exercises of common stock equivalents.

Subscription and Shareholder Receivables

The Company records stock issuances at the effective date. If the amounts are not funded upon issuance, the Company records a subscription receivable or shareholder receivable as an asset on the balance sheet. When subscription receivables or shareholder receivables are not received prior to the balance sheet date in satisfaction of the requirements under ASC 505, Equity, the subscription or shareholder receivable is reclassified as a contra account to stockholder's equity (deficit) on the balance sheet.

Shareholder receivables represent amounts due from shareholders. If the shareholder does not fund the receivable prior to the balance sheet date, the Company records a receivable that is reclassified as a contra account to stockholder's deficit on the balance sheet. At June 30, 2024, $100,000 was due from shareholders, this amount was received in July 2024.

Related Parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with 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.

See Note 10 for a discussion of equity transactions with certain officers and directors.

Recent Accounting Standards

Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU's") to the FASB's Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU's on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders' equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures ("ASU 2022-02"), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07 - Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company accrued $1,255 and $1,105, respectively, in interest related to this note.

Note 7 - Derivative Liabilities

The above convertible notes contained embedded conversion options with a conversion price that could result in issuing an indeterminate amount of future common stock to settle the host contract. Accordingly, the embedded conversion options are required to be bifurcated from the host instrument (convertible note) and treated as a liability, which is calculated at fair value, and marked to market at each reporting period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company used the Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of its embedded conversion option liabilities on both the commitment date and the remeasurement date with the following inputs:

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a change in fair of derivative liabilities - gains/(losses) of $(141,671) and $156,354 respectively.

In connection with bifurcating embedded conversion options and accounting for certain convertible notes payable, the Company computes a fair value on the commitment date, and upon the initial valuation of this instrument, determines that if the fair value of the liability exceeds the proceeds of the convertible debt host instrument; as a result, the Company records a debt discount at the maximum amount allowed (the face amount of the debt), which requires the excess to be recorded as a derivative expense.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a derivative expense of $0 and $0, respectively.

Note 8 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

We have entered into various operating lease agreements, including our corporate headquarters. We account for leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842: Leases, which requires a lessee to utilize the right-of-use model and to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. In addition, a lessor is required to classify leases as either sales-type, financing or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as financing. If the lessor does not convey risk and rewards or control, the lease is treated as operating. We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the lease in our financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor.

Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities at commencement are initially measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement to determine the present value of lease payments except when an implicit interest rate is readily determinable. We determine our incremental borrowing rate based on market sources including relevant industry data.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component, from both a lessee and lessor perspective with the exception of direct sales-type leases and production equipment classes embedded in supply agreements. From a lessor perspective, the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.

We have elected not to present short-term leases on the balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Our leases, where we are the lessee, do not include an option to extend the lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease term would include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense, included as a component of general and administrative expenses, in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Certain operating leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate, our lease has no stated increase, payments were fixed at lease inception. We calculate the present value of future lease payments based on the index or rate at the lease commencement date. Differences between the calculated lease payment and actual payment are expensed as incurred.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the Company had no financing leases as defined in ASC 842, "Leases."

The Company leases its headquarters office. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into an office lease for its administrative operations, (the "Saratoga lease"). The Saratoga lease is for a 48.5-month term, with an original expiration date of July 31, 2024, with an initial monthly payment of $8,819. Straight-line rent per month was calculated at $9,522.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in default for the Saratoga Lease due to non-payment. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the Company terminated the Saratoga Lease and entered into a settlement agreement with the landlord.

On January 30, 2023, the Company entered a new lease for its headquarters office, (the "Suite 200 Lease") for a 60 month lease with an expiration date of January 31, 2028 with an initial monthly payment of $7,943.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

We are a Nevada corporation governed by the NRS.

Section 78.138 of the NRS provides that, unless the corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a director or officer will not be individually liable unless it is proven that (i) the director's or officer's acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.

Section 78.7502 of the NRS permits a company to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, if the officer or director (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful. Section 78.7502 of the NRS also precludes indemnification by the corporation if the officer or director has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court determines that in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses and requires a corporation to indemnify its officers and directors if they have been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any claim, issue, or matter resulting from their service as a director or officer.

Section 78.751 of the NRS permits a Nevada corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of a final disposition thereof, upon determination by the stockholders, the disinterested board members, or by independent legal counsel. Section 78.751 of the NRS provides that the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, or an agreement may require a corporation to advance expenses as incurred upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation if so provided in the corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other agreement. Section 78.751 of the NRS further permits the corporation to grant its directors and officers additional rights of indemnification under its articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other agreement.

II-2

Section 78.752 of the NRS provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.

The foregoing discussion of indemnification merely summarizes certain aspects of indemnification provisions and is limited by reference to the above discussed sections of the NRS.

Our articles of incorporation provide that, except in some specified instances, our directors and officers shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors and officers, except liability for the following:

·acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law; or

·the payment of distributions in violation of NRS 78.300, as amended.

In addition, our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS. Our bylaws also authorize us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against that person in that capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify that person against such liability and expenses.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer, or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Reference is made to the following documents filed as exhibits to this registration statement regarding relevant indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere in this registration statement.

Item 2. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

In March of 2023, the Company sold 50,000 shares to investors in Australia and Cyprus. The proceeds from this offering were used for working capital purposes. We relied on exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Regulation S. We made this offering based on the following facts: (1) the issuance was an isolated private transaction which did not involve a public offering; (2) there were only three offerees, (3) the offerees have agreed to the imposition of a restrictive legend on the face of the stock certificate representing the shares indicating the stock cannot be resold unless registered or an exemption from registration is available; (4) the offerees were sophisticated investors familiar with our company and stock-based transactions; (5) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the stock; (6) the stock was not broken down into smaller denominations; and (7) the negotiations for the sale of the stock took place directly between the offerees and our management; (8) the sale was made offshore to foreign persons.

On June 5, 2024, USS entered into a promissory note agreement with Clearview Funding Solutions for $200,000, which matures in June 2025. An origination and finance fee of $15,000 are included in the principal and discounted against the note over the term. As of June 30, 2024, the note had an outstanding balance of $171,600. The proceeds from this offering were used for working capital purposes. We relied on exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended since the issuance was an isolated wholesale transaction which did not involve a public offering.

On October 31, 2023, Sentinel Holdings, Inc. entered into a promissory note agreement with Padang Padang, LTD for $48,874, which matured on October 31, 2028. The note bears an interest rate of $4.36%. The majority of the Note has been repaid and as of June 30, 2024, the note had an outstanding balance of $4,375. The proceeds from this offering were used for working capital purposes. We relied on exemptions provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended since the issuance was an isolated related party transaction which did not involve a public offering.

On June 8, 2024, the Company issued 75,000 units consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant. The units were sold at $1/unit for gross proceeds of $75,000. The warrants are exercisable immediately at $3.50/share and expire on December 31, 2025. The proceeds from this offering were used for working capital purposes.

On June 28, 2024, the Company issued 100,000 units consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant. The units were sold at $1/unit for a subscription amount of $100,000. The warrants are exercisable immediately at $3.50/share and expire on December 31, 2026. The subscription was received in July 2024.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, if the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-6

(6)The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7)The undersigned hereby further undertakes that:

(i)For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(ii)For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
