NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Outdoor Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-20 “Discontinued Operations,” a business is classified as held for sale when management having the authority to approve the action commits to a plan to sell the business, the business is available for immediate sale in its present condition and an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated. Additionally, the sale must be probable to occur during the next 12 months at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of (i) its carrying amount and (ii) estimated fair value less costs to sell. When the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less costs to sell, a loss is recognized and updated each reporting period, as appropriate. Assets held for sale are not depreciated or amortized.

The results of operations of businesses classified as held for sale are reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. When a business is identified for discontinued operations reporting: (i) results for prior periods are retrospectively reclassified as discontinued operations; (ii) results of operations are reported in a single line, net of tax, in the consolidated statement of operations; and (iii) assets and liabilities are reported as held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets in the period in which the business is classified as held for sale.

As previously reported, during the year ended March 31, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") initiated a formal review of strategic alternatives for the Company. This review of strategic alternatives resulted in the decision to sell our Ammunition segment. We concluded the assets of the Ammunition segment met the criteria for classification as held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Additionally, we determined the ultimate disposal would represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, the results of the Ammunition segment are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Prior periods have been adjusted to conform to the current presentation. The assets and liabilities of the Ammunition segment have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. There were no assets or liabilities classified as discontinued operations as of March 31, 2026. We ceased depreciating and amortizing our long-lived assets for the Ammunition segment which primarily include right-of-use assets, intangible assets and property and equipment. On January 20, 2025, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Olin Winchester, LLC (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to (i) acquire all assets of our business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing and selling ammunition and ammunition components (collectively, the “Ammunition Manufacturing Business”) along with certain assets related to the Ammunition Manufacturing Business, including the Ammunition Manufacturing Business’ dedicated manufacturing facility in Manitowoc, WI, and (ii) assume certain liabilities related to the Ammunition Manufacturing Business, for a gross purchase price of $75.0 million, subject to adjustments for estimated net working capital and real property costs and pro-rations. The transaction was completed on April 18, 2025.

Unless otherwise noted, all amounts and disclosures included in these notes to the consolidated financial statements reflect only the Company's continuing operations. Refer to Note 4 "Discontinued Operations" for additional details on discontinued operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include the valuation of allowances for credit losses, valuation of deferred tax assets, useful lives of assets, stock-based compensation, impairment of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, and warrant-based compensation.

Goodwill

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In testing for goodwill impairment, we may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If our qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, we perform a quantitative assessment for impairment. Under the quantitative goodwill impairment test, if a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill. We conducted our annual impairment test of goodwill as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 and determined that no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required.

As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, we had a goodwill carrying value of $90.9 million.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Our accounts receivable represents amounts due from customers for products sold and include an allowance for estimated credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is calculated as a percentage of trade receivables at the end of the reporting period, and is based on historical experience, with the change in such allowance being recorded as provision for credit losses in corporate general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flow, we consider highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents, which may include bank deposits and certificates of deposit.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flow. If the total of the future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of those assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. During the year ended March 31, 2026, we recognized impairment on our right-of-use assets as discussed in Note 8, "Leases." During the year ended March 31, 2025, we recognized impairment on long-lived assets related to assets that were held for sale as discussed in Note 4, "Discontinued Operations."

Deferred Contract Fulfillment Costs

We capitalize third-party costs to fulfill contracts with customers in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other noncurrent assets on our consolidated balance sheet. We amortize these costs on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when we transfer control of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We apply the following five-step model to determine revenue recognition:

 

Identification of a contract with a customer
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract
Determination of the transaction price
Allocation of the transaction price to the separate performance obligation
Recognition of revenue when performance obligations are satisfied

Revenues are generated through our GunBroker online marketplace. Performance obligations are satisfied, and revenue is recognized, as follows:

Marketplace revenue consists of optional listing fees with variable pricing components based on customer options selected from the GunBroker website and final value fees based on a percentage of the final selling price of the listed item. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.

Marketplace service fee revenue consists of fees charged to customers based on a percentage of the final price of an item at the time of purchase. The performance obligation is to process the transactions as initiated by the customer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the transaction is processed.

Shipping revenue consists of fees charged to customers for shipping of sold items listed on the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to ship the item sold as initiated by the customer. The price is set based on the third-party service provider selected to be used by the customer as well as the speed and location of shipment. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the shipping label is printed.

Advertising revenue consists of fees charged to customers for advertisement placement and impressions generated through the GunBroker website. The performance obligation is to generate the number of impressions specified by the customer on banner advertisements on the GunBroker website using the placement selected by the customer. The price is set by the customer agreement based on standalone selling prices or by advertising insertion order as negotiated by a media broker. If the number of impressions promised is not generated, the customer receives a refund and the refund is applied to the transaction price. Advertising revenue is recognized at a point in time at the end of the selected month.

For the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no customers comprised more than 10% of total revenues. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, no customers comprised more than 10% of accounts receivable.

Advertising Costs

Marketplace advertising costs are expensed as they are incurred and recorded in cost of revenues. For the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 we incurred advertising expenses of $577,661 and $413,461, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We measure options and warrants at fair value in accordance with ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). The objective of ASC 820 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 specifies a valuation hierarchy based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

This hierarchy requires us to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when estimating fair value.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Property and Equipment, net

We state property and equipment at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method at rates intended to depreciate the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, which are generally three to ten years.

Upon retirement or sale of property and equipment, we remove the cost of the disposed assets and related accumulated depreciation from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to other income or expenses. We charge expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance to expense as incurred.

We capitalize additions and expenditures for improving or rebuilding existing assets that extend the useful life. Leasehold improvements made either at the inception of the lease or during the lease term are amortized over the shorter of their economic lives or the lease term including any renewals that are reasonably assured.

Internal Use Software Costs

Platform development costs, including direct labor, are capitalized and amortized over an estimated useful life of three years, and are included in property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we capitalized $2.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Amortization of previously capitalized amounts was $2.2 million and $1.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal use software are expensed as incurred.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; instead, we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We do not account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments to use the underlying lease asset) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., fixed payments for common-area maintenance costs and other items that transfer a good or service). Some of our leases include variable lease payments, which primarily result from changes in consumer price and other market-based indices, which are generally updated annually, and maintenance and usage charges. These variable payments are excluded from the calculation of our lease assets and lease liabilities.

We utilize the interest rate implicit in the lease to determine the lease liability when the interest rate can be determined. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation at fair value in accordance with ASC 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the recognition of the cost of employee, director and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity over the period the employee, director or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award. Stock-based compensation is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation for stock awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting periods and stock-based compensation for stock options is recognized using the accelerated recognition method. Forfeitures are recognized in the periods they occur. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in corporate general and administrative expense on the statement of operations.

Treasury Stock

Treasury stock, representing shares of our common stock that have been repurchased after having been issued, are recorded at cost. Converting outstanding shares to treasury shares does not reduce the number of shares issued but does reduce the number of shares outstanding.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Accounts at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, our bank account balances exceeded federally insured limits, however, we have not incurred losses related to these deposits.

Income Taxes

We file federal and state income tax returns in accordance with the applicable rules of each jurisdiction. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740 - Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, and local income taxes currently payable, and deferred taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable amounts in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. In accordance with ASC 740, we recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. We measure recognized income tax positions

at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. We reflect changes in recognition or measurement in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The ASU requires that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet or exceed a quantitative threshold. Additionally, it requires all entities disclose the following information about income taxes paid on an annual basis: (1) the year-to-date amounts of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and (2) the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We adopted this guidance prospectively in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 with no material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement expenses (Subtopic 220-40). This ASU requires disclosure about significant expense categories, including but not limited to, inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and selling expenses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. This ASU is applicable to our fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. The transition method may be either prospective or retrospective. We are still evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which introduces a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. This ASU is applicable to our fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2026, with early application permitted. The transition method is prospective. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU updates the cost capitalization threshold for internal-use software development costs by removing all references to software project development stages and providing new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete recognition threshold has been met. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. This ASU is applicable to our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The transition method may be prospective, modified, or retrospective. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11 to amend the guidance in Interim Reporting (Topic 270). The amendments in this update clarify current interim disclosure requirements and provide a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures. The update also incorporates a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events that occur after the end of the last annual reporting period. This update is effective for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, though early adoption is permitted. This ASU is applicable to our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2028 and we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
