PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

This Form 12b-25 (Notification of Late Filing) is filed by Ammo, Inc. (the "Company") with respect to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the "Quarterly Report") pursuant to Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

As previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on October 3, 2024, on September 27, 2024, the Company received a communication from its independent registered public accounting firm, Pannell Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C. ("PKF"), in which PKF requested that the Company take action to disclose that the following historical financial statements and auditors' reports previously reported by the Company should no longer be relied upon:

	●	financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2024, as well as all interim periods within such year, including the auditors' report on the financial statements and the auditors' report on internal controls;
	●	financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2023, as well as all interim periods within such year, including the auditors' report on the financial statements and the auditors' report on internal controls;
	●	financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022, as well as all interim periods within such year, including the auditors' report on the financial statements; and
	●	financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2021, including the auditors' report on the financial statements (collectively the "Affected Periods").

As previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on September 24, 2024, based in part on information provided by PKF, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company retained a law firm to conduct an independent investigation (the "Investigation") focused on fiscal years 2020 through 2023. The scope of the Investigation includes, among other things, an assessment of whether the Company and its management control persons at the time (i) accurately disclosed all executive officers, members of management, and potential related party transactions in fiscal years 2020 through 2023, (ii) properly characterized certain fees paid for investor relations and legal services as reductions of proceeds from capital raises rather than period expenses in fiscal years 2021 and 2022 and (iii) appropriately valued unrestricted stock awards to officers, directors, employees and others in fiscal years 2020 through 2022 (collectively, the "Investigation Issues").

Furthermore, as previously disclosed, the Company's management concluded that in light of the Investigation Issues, a material weakness existed in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Affected Periods and that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. To address this material weakness, management has devoted, and plans to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of Company's internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, the Company is, among other things, identifying deficiency exposure, evaluating its control environment, testing operating effectiveness, assessing tests of design, addressing segregation of duties, evaluating management review controls and procedures, and developing and implementing remediation plans.

The Company's current management team is committed to remediating the material weakness, addressing the Investigation Issues, and promoting a culture of transparency and open communication within the Company. Nonetheless, the Company has determined that it is unable to file the Quarterly Report by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense because the Investigation is still ongoing. While the Company intends to file the Quarterly Report as soon as practicable, it does not expect to file the Quarterly Report within the 5-day extension period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act. Counsel for the Special Committee of the Board of Directors intends to complete the Investigation as soon as practicable.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 12b-25 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements are subject to considerable risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the expected timing of the filing of the Quarterly Report, the timing of the completion of the Investigation and the Company's ability to effectively remediate material weaknesses relating to internal controls over financial reporting. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not solely historical facts and can be identified by terms such as "believe," "anticipate," "could," "estimate," "expect," "may," "will," "should," or similar expressions. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements, including the risks and uncertainties addressed under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024, and the other filings the Company makes with the Commission from time to time. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Form 12b-25, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof.

(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed?

Given that the Investigation is ongoing and the financial statements for the Affected Periods should no longer be relied upon, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of any changes in results of operations in its financial statements until after the Investigation is complete.
