NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

The Company is a less-lethal defense technology company, specializing in the innovative next generation solutions for security situations that do not require the use of lethal force. SDI has implemented manufacturing partnerships to assist in the deployment of their patented and patent pending family of 40mm products. These products consist of the current manufacture of Blunt Impact Projectile 40mm (BIP) line of products, and the future Wireless Electric Projectile 40mm (WEP). The Company has also partnered with manufacturers of 12 gauge less-lethal products and .68 caliber impact and irritant rounds. All products are marketing under SDI brands.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year.

The Company’s activities are subject to risk and uncertainties including-

The Company has not earned adequate revenue and has used cash in its operations. Therefore, the Company will need additional financing to continue its operations if it is unable to generate substantial revenue growth.

The Company has incurred a cumulative loss of $29,659,794 from inception to August 31, 2017. The Company has funded operations through the issuance of capital stock and convertible debentures. The company has started to generate revenue from operations. However, it still expects to incur significant expenses before becoming profitable. The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient capital or generate adequate revenue, to cover its ongoing operating expenses, and also to continue to develop and be able to profitably market its products. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at all or on favorable terms. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Effective May 31, 2013, the Company adopted an incentive stock option plan (the “2013 Plan”), which replaces the stock option and stock bonus plans that were in place prior to adoption of the 2013 Plan. All outstanding options to purchase Common Shares granted by the Company under the prior plans are now governed by the 2013 Plan and the prior plans (an Incentive Stock Option Plan, a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, and a Stock Bonus Plan) have been terminated.

The purpose of this Plan is to authorize the grant to Eligible Persons of the Company of Options to purchase Shares and thus benefit the Company by enabling it to attract, retain and motivate Eligible Persons by providing them with the opportunity, through Options, to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Company.

The maximum number of Shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one Consultant under the Plan, any other employer stock options plans or options for services, within any 12-month period, shall be 2% of the Shares issued and outstanding at the time of the grant (on a non-diluted basis).

The maximum number of Shares which may be reserved for issuance to Investor Relations Optionees under the Plan, any other employer stock options plans or options for services, within any 12-month period shall be 2% of the Shares issued and outstanding at the time of the grant (on a non-diluted basis).

The maximum number of Shares which may be reserved for issuance to insiders of the Company in any 12- month period shall be 10% of the Shares issued and outstanding at the start of such 12-month period (on a non-diluted basis).

The purchase price (the “Price”) for the Shares under each Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors or Committee, as applicable, on the basis of the market price, where “market price” shall mean the prior trading day closing price of the Shares on any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed or last trading price on the prior trading day on any dealing network where the Shares trade, and where there is no such closing price or trade on the prior trading day, “market price” shall mean the average of the daily high and low board lot trading prices of the Shares on any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed or dealing network on which the Shares trade for the five (5) immediately preceding trading days. In the event the Shares are listed on the TSXV, the price may be the market price less any discounts from the market price allowed by the TSXV, subject to a minimum price of CDN$0.10.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS


a)

$76,125 Unsecured Convertible Debentures

On August 6, 2014, the Company issued a Canadian $1,549,000 face value 12% convertible debentures with a term to August 6, 2017 (the “Maturity Date”). At any time while the debentures are outstanding, the holder has the option to convert the outstanding principal of the debentures into common shares of the Company at a fixed conversion price of CAD $0.50 per share. At any time after February 6, 2015, the Company has the right to force the conversion of the debentures into common shares at a price of at least CAD$0.65 per common share for a period of at least 20 consecutive trading days. If the common shares do not trade on any trading day and the bid price of the common Shares is CAD $0.65 or greater, the common shares shall be deemed to have traded at a price of at least CAD $0.65 on that trading day. Additionally, the Company has the right to redeem the debentures, in whole or in part, (a) during the 12 months ending August 6, 2015, at a premium of 15% to the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued interest, (b) during the 12 months ending August 6, 2016, at a premium of 5% to the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued interest, (c) during the 12 months ending August 6, 2017, at a premium of 2% to the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued interest. In connection with the financing, the Company issued warrants to placement agents to purchase 151,900 shares of common stock at an exercise price of CAD $0.50 per share. Additionally, the Company incurred $157,293 (CAD $174,209) in financing fees.

The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the convertible debentures and placement agent warrants under the guidance of ASC 815. The conversion feature met the definition of conventional convertible for purposes of applying the conventional convertible exemption. The definition of conventional contemplates a fixed number of shares issuable under the arrangement. The instrument was convertible into a fixed number of shares and there were no down round anti-dilution protection features contained in the contracts. The Company was required to consider whether the hybrid contract embodied a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). The debentures did not result in a BCF because the conversion price was not in the money on the inception date. There were no terms or features contained in the warrant agreement that would preclude the warrants from achieving equity classification.

The following table reflects the allocation of the purchase on the financing date:

Convertible Debentures - Face Value$ 1,398,342
Proceeds$ (1,279,773)
Deferred financing costs(190,876)
Paid in capital (warrants)33,583
Prepaid expenses16,681
Accrued expenses21,793
Convertible debentures1,398,592

As of November 30, 2016, these unsecured convertible debentures, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, were recorded at $ 1,117,771 on exchange rate conversion.

On December 7, 2016, the Company entered a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell $1,500,000 of 10% senior secured convertible debentures, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, in a private placement. The sale of the Secured Notes was closed on December 7, 2016. A condition to the sale of the Secured Notes was the exchange of at least 80% in principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 12% Unsecured Debentures, which mature on August 6, 2017 (the “Unsecured Debentures”) for an equal principal amount of Subordinate Secured Debentures. Concurrent with the sale of the Secured Notes, $1,015,026 (CAD$1,363,000) of the Company’s outstanding Unsecured Debentures, which represented approximately 88% of the outstanding Unsecured Debentures, were exchanged for an equal principal amount of the Subordinate Secured Debentures.

The Subordinate Secured Debentures mature on June 6, 2019 and bear interest at 12% per annum payable, semiannually.

The Subordinate Secured Debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the Note Conversion Price so long as any Secured Notes are outstanding, and thereafter, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Indenture.

(ii)

Secured convertible debentures

On December 7, 2016, the Company issued a $1,500,000 10% secured convertible debenture with a term to June 9, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”). The holder has the option to convert the outstanding principal and interest into common stock at a conversion price of $0.24 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustments in the event of subsequent equity issuances at a price per share below $0.24.

The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the convertible bridge loan and detachable warrants under the guidance of ASC 815. Even though the instrument's conversion price used to calculate the settlement amount is not fixed the embedded conversion feature is still considered “indexed to an entity's own stock” under the guidance of ASC 815 because the only variables that could affect the settlement amount are inputs to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed forward or option on equity shares. However, the conversion feature did not meet the conditions for equity classification provided in paragraphs 11 through 35 of ASC 815-40-25 because due the contracts contain a security agreement which requires the posting of collateral. Therefore, the conversion feature requires bifurcation and liability classification.

Current accounting principles that are provided in ASC 815 -Derivatives and Hedgingrequire derivative financial instruments to be classified in liabilities and carried at fair value with changes recorded in income. In addition, the standards do not permit an issuer to account separately for individual derivative terms and features embedded in hybrid financial instruments that require bifurcation and liability classification as derivative financial instruments. Rather, such terms and features must be bundled together and fair valued as a single, compound embedded derivative. We have selected the Monte Carlo Simulations valuation technique to fair value the compound embedded derivative because we believe that this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types, and ranges of assumption inputs, that market participants would likely consider in transactions involving compound embedded derivatives. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, interest risk assumptions, credit risk assumptions and redemption behaviors in addition to traditional inputs for option models such as market trading volatility and risk- free rates. We have selected Binomial Lattice to fair value our warrant derivatives because we believe this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types market participants would likely consider in transactions involving freestanding warrants derivatives. The Monte Carlo Simulations (“MCS”) technique is a level three valuation technique because it requires the development of significant internal assumptions in addition to observable market indicators.

Significant inputs and results arising from the Monte Carlo Simulations process are as follows for the share purchase options that have been bifurcated from our debentures and classified in liabilities as of August 31, 2017 and December 7, 2016 (Inception):

Item2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OFOPERATION

THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2017

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of Security Devices International, Inc. (also referred to as "we", "us", "our", "SDI", or the "Company"), should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements (and related notes) as at November 30, 2016.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause SDI’s results to differ materially from expectations. When reviewing the Company's forward-looking statements, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. These include risk relating to market fluctuations, performance, strength of the North American and other world economies and foreign exchange fluctuations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Unless otherwise required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update these forward-looking statements. The Company does have an ongoing obligation to disclose material information as it becomes available. The discussion also includes cautionary statements about these matters. You should read the cautionary statements made below as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this document.

ITEM 1.BUSINESS

It is the Company’s belief that the United States, along with most parts of the world are in the very early stages of a significant spike in the growth curve for “less-lethal” products. Most law enforcement agencies do not have a proper working knowledge of a less-lethal program in place. Rather they are using an assortment of less-lethal devices out of necessity for varying degrees of effectiveness with little coordination or approved tactical plans for their deployment. Law enforcement budget constraints usually play a role in this behavior. It is for this reason that unintended deaths of unarmed suspects at the hands of police departments throughout the country (and in fact throughout the world) continue to happen.

With a rise in social and civil unrest both here and abroad and with more and more of these incidents being caught on video and posted on social media, the pressure on law enforcement and governments to find reasonable and effective alternatives to lethal force is mounting daily. As a result, it is management’s opinion that the less-lethal market will be one of the faster growing segment in the law enforcement, correctional services, crowd control and security services markets over the next decade.

Less-lethal weapons include a wide variety of products designed to disorient, slow down and stop would be assailants, rioters and other malfeasants. In the Company’s opinion, the less-lethal weapon that is growing the fastest in popularity and adoption is the 40mm launcher along with the various less-lethal munitions that can be fired from these launchers. These munitions include both impact rounds designed to stop an individual without causing permanent injury to payload rounds carrying a variety of powders and liquids including tear gas, pepper spray, DNA marking liquids, mal-odorants and other marking liquids and powders designed to identify instigators in a riot situation.

Historically, these munitions were fired from 37mm launchers, however, the industry has been moving to 40mm launchers due to the fact that the 40mm launcher barrel is rifled (while the 37mm is a smooth bore barrel less accurate munition) which allows the operator to more accurately fire the rounds at distances in excess of 100’. This makes the 40mm launcher an effective tool in a wide range of situations.

Additional less lethal munitions include 12 gauge and .68 caliber impact and chemical irritant projectiles. The 12 gauge has been a long-standing tool for law enforcement and correctional services, as most all domestic patrol cars carry a shotgun to fire the 12 gauge munitions when required. The .68 caliber projectiles are fired from an air gun system for close range incidents where impact force is not the main objective with a subject, but chemical irritant munitions are necessary to stop an assailant.

Business

History

Security Devices International Inc. (the “Company” or the “Corporation”) was incorporated on March 1, 2005. The Company began as a research and development company focused on the development of 40mm less-lethal ammunition.

The Company initiated with the development of a wireless electric projectile (the “WEP”), named the Lektrox. The Company hired a ballistics engineering firm to collaborate in the development of the WEP.

Commencing in December 2008, the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (“JNLWD”) of the US Department of Defense, an organization responsible for the development and coordination of non-lethal weapons activities within the United States, tested the WEP through its evaluation facility at Penn State University. An executive summary was released to the Company indicating a positive outcome.

In the fall of 2010 the Company underwent a change in the board of directors and management. This precipitated a change in the direction of the company as development of the WEP was discontinued and the company shifted its focus to a new product – the 40mm Blunt Impact Projectile (BIP). The Company concluded that the cost and time required to complete development and testing of the BIP were significantly less than that required to complete development and testing of the WEP. The goal was to develop a product that it could bring to market more quickly. The Company was able to exploit some of the patent pending technology of the WEP into the BIP. In 2011, the Company moved its engineering, intellectual property and production facilities to the operator (the “BIP Manufacturer”) of an injection molding facility outside of Boston, Massachusetts.

The Blunt Impact Projectile (BIP) – A Transformative Technology

When the less-lethal industry was dominated by the 37mm launcher, a number of less-lethal companies developed “impact munition rounds” designed to “stop” an assailant. These round were nothing more than a piece of plastic, wood baton, rubber baton, or a piece of plastic with a piece of sponge rubber or foam rubber affixed to the head of the round.

There were several problems with these 37mm rounds. First, they were inaccurate due to the lack of barrel rifling. Since most SWAT teams carry single shot launchers, a round that cannot be shot accurately is of little value. Second, because of their lightweight, they did not have much stopping power. Suspects that were “committed” would often “shake off” a direct hit. Finally, the rounds would bounce off walls or other hard surfaces which made them dangerous to use in confined areas such as a jail cell. Numerous corrections officers have been hurt by impact rounds ricocheting off of jail cell walls.

Security Devices International solved all three issues with the development of its “Blunt Impact Projectile” (BIP). The BIP was developed as an outgrowth of a research and development project to create a conductive electric device bullet (project name WEP – Wireless Electric Projectile).

In order to ensure that the projectile did not injure the targeted individual, SDI needed to develop a way to cushion the impact of the round upon contact with the target. The solution was a collapsible head that compressed upon impact. (See below). When it became clear that SDI did not have sufficient funds to complete development of the WEP, it was decided to use the collapsible head design to create an impact round. The hope was that with this new, state-of-the-art impact round, SDI could generate enough profitability that it would be able to complete development of the WEP.

24



This collapsible head technology allowed SDI to build a heavier projectile that did not require a rubber or foam tip. This meant that it could take advantage of the rifling of the 40mm launcher. This made the BIP by far the most accurate round on the market in comparison to previous 37mm projectiles. The target for an impact round is to be a large muscle group such as the thigh muscle.

The gel collapsible head of the BIP spreads out upon impact, dispersing the energy over a larger area thus reducing blunt trauma to the subject. This allows the BIP round to be fired at close range on a target.

The Company believes that its patented collapsible head technology will transform the industry as law enforcement agencies recognize the tactical advantages of a less-lethal weapon that can be safely, accurately and effectively deployed at close range distances between 10 feet and 100 feet. SDI has been in discussions several industry players about licensing SDI’s technology.

Early in 2011 the Company focused its attention on a new 40mm product, the blunt impact projectile (“BIP”), and discontinued further development work on the WEP.

2012

In June 2012, the Company contracted CRT Less Lethal Inc. (“CRT”) to test the BIP. Based on data obtained from the three-stage evaluation, the BIP passed the CRT testing protocol for accuracy, consistency, relative safety and effectiveness.

In July 2012, the Company signed a five-year development, supply and manufacturing agreement with a subcontractor to Manufacture the BIP.

In November 2012, the Company obtained a United States Department of Transportation number (DOT#) required in order for the Company to ship BIP rounds.

25


In 2012, the Company began the development of six new less-lethal ammunition rounds. These new rounds will be a modified version of the BIP, four of which carry a payload, including; BIP MP (temporary powder-based marking agent), BIP ML (semi-permanent liquid marking agent), BIP OC (Oleoresin Capsicum - a pepper spray powder), BIP CS (tear gas powder), BIP MO (malodorant liquid), and the BIP TR (training round).

2013

The Company moved its full manufacturing and supply chain operations to the BIP manufacturer, a supply manufacturing and engineering company, in the Boston, MA area.

The Company undertook an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in January and became a public reporting issuer on the TSX-Venture Exchange in September 2013.

2014

SDI began another globally recognized testing protocol with a military agency called HECOE (the Human Effects Centre of Excellence). This world-renowned agency is located in the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), in partnership with the US Joint Non-lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD). This group conducts research to assist Non-lethal Weapon (NLW) Program Managers across the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in assessing effectiveness and risks of NLWs. The positive conclusion of this testing allows the DOD to purchase SDI rounds.

April - SDI appointed Keith Morrison to the board of directors as non-executive Chairman

May - SDI’s BIP rounds were used at the Mock Prison Riot in West Virginia. Law enforcement and correctional services officers provided feedback on new technologies (such as SDI’s products) to assist in the effectiveness of their jobs.

August - The Company completed the issuance of 1,549 convertible unsecured debentures at $1,000 per debenture for gross proceeds of $1,549,000 (the “Private Placement”).

October - Security Devices International Inc. announced that the Company and a division of Abrams Airborne Manufacturing Inc. (AAMI), namely Milkor USA (MUSA), have agreed to partner for a joint cross-selling / marketing initiative.

November - The Company named Karim Kanji to the board of directors as an independent member.

SDI has sold their BIP products into nine new agencies during the fiscal year of 2014 including Sheriff Departments, Correctional Services, and SWAT teams in; Saskatoon, SK, Watertown, SD, Abbotsford, BC, Sacramento, CA, Kingston, ON, Rustburg, VA, Orlando, FL, Montreal, QC, and Bedford, VA. These agencies are additions to SDI’s customer base that have adopted its 40mm less-lethal rounds.

2015

In January 2015, SDI commenced a public relations program and through the year, SDI has been featured in over 800 media outlets globally, including live interviews on FOX television, News One in New York, and CP24 in Toronto.

26


During the second quarter, SDI attended the American Jail Association’s annual conference in North Carolina and performed a live fire demonstration to numerous State and local Agencies while in North Carolina.

During Q2, SDI also attended the Canadian Tactical Conference in Collingwood, Ontario as well as the New York Tactical Conference in Verona, New York.

Through SDI’s distributor (U.S. Tactical Supply– GSA) the Company was able to leverage their relationship to facilitate a live-fire demonstration for the Pentagon Protection Force in Alexandria, Virginia.

In May - SDI participated in the “Mock Prison Riot” which takes place annually at a decommissioned penitentiary in Moundsville, West Virginia. The Mock Prison Riot is a four-day, comprehensive law enforcement and corrections tactical and technology experience, including 40,000 square feet of exhibit space, training scenarios, technology demonstrations, certification workshops, a Skills Competition, and unlimited opportunities for feedback and networking on a global scale.

SDI staff attended the Ohio Tactical officers conference in June where the Company not only had a full exhibit booth set up to bring awareness to SDI’s full line of less lethal 40MM products but also conducted live fire demonstrations to several agencies. These agencies had requested seeing the projectiles fired to move forward with evaluation of SDI’s products for potential inclusion in their less lethal arsenal.

July - SDI was invited to present the company’s full line of products to the New York City Police Department. Representatives of SDI attended the NYPD range and conducted in-class presentations followed by a live fire demonstration showcasing the full line on 40MM products that SDI can offer for Law Enforcement operational missions.

July - The Associated Press (“AP”), conducted interviews with SDI management and attended SDI’s manufacturing partners’ location for an in depth look at the company and the technology. The AP completed a story on the uniqueness of the product line and the increased element of safety that SDI’s products offer, and released the story to the newswire, where it was picked up by over 800 media outlets, worldwide.

August - SDI was invited to present to the Toronto Police Service (“TPS”), who are currently exploring less lethal options for front line officers. A full presentation was given to decision makers of the TPS and a follow-up live fire demonstration is to occur.

September – SDI conducted their Annual General Meeting and shareholders approved the following:

1)

The Board of Directors, as it stands today, was re-elected.

2)

Schwartz Levitsky Feldman, LLP was re-appointed as SDI’s auditors.

Q1 FY2016

In December 2015, SDI was invited to conduct a full product briefing and live fire demonstration for key Management with the United Sates Federal Bureau of Prisons. SDI was able to showcase the innovation of the BIP family of products and demonstrate the clear difference between SDI’s products and other products on the market.

In January 2016, SDI management attended the SHOT show in Las Vegas and met with numerous existing partners and explored future partnerships with several other Industry leaders.

During the SHOT show SDI’s rounds were used by AAMI, an existing partner of SDI, during a new product innovation range day that was attended by the majority of Companies in the firearms industry.

During Q1, SDI announced that it received its first sale of 40MM launchers to a Law Enforcement Agency. This is an important step for SDI to be seen as having the availability to access other less lethal products to fulfil customer requests.

In January, SDI and Clyde Armory, signed a distribution agreement whereas Clyde will offer SDI’s product line to Law Enforcement customers in their catchment area. Clyde is a full service gun store which supplies firearms, ammunition and accessories to Law Enforcement and Civilian customers. They are based in Athens, Georgia.

During this quarter, the non-exclusive renewable Technology License and Supply Agreement that was signed with United Tactical Solutions on April 17, 2015, was terminated by SDI management effective February 25, 2016.

On February 29, 2016, SDI signed a term sheet with an existing defense technology (less lethal) company to acquire that Company. This acquisition, if completed, will give SDI a diversified line of less lethal munitions, launchers and accessories as well as opening domestic and global distribution channels.

Q2 FY2016

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company continued to pursue the targeted acquisition through several funding sources, and financing structures. Subsequent to the quarter, on July 8, 2016, the Company announced that it had identified a number of items in the target company’s (the “Target”) financial statements that raised concerns in support of the negotiated price of the transaction. SDI has terminated discussions with the Target at this time.

Subsequent to the quarter, the Company announced that Gregory Sullivan had resigned as President and CEO to pursue other opportunities, effective July 15, 2016. Dean Thrasher, the current COO and a member of the SDI board of directors will assume the interim role of President and CEO. Mr. Sullivan will remain on the board of directors until his replacement is appointed and receives stock exchange clearance, or September 1, 2016, whichever occurs first.

The Company signed a one-year consulting agreement with Northeast Industrial Partners LLP (“Northeast”), which is headed up by Mr. Bryan Ganz. Northeast will assist SDI with sales & marketing, expansion of the Company’s product range, review of operations, implementation of cost control measures, development of strategic alliances and financial oversight. Mr. Ganz brings more than 30 years of experience in sales management, manufacturing, new product design and development as well as mergers & acquisitions. During his career Mr. Ganz has bought, built and sold more than half a dozen global businesses with combined sales in excess of $1.0 billion. Most recently, Mr. Ganz sold Maine Industrial Tire LLC to Trelleborg (based out of Sweden), for $67 million generating a 7.0x return to investors over a three-year period.

28


For their services and subject to stock exchange approval, Northeast will be issued a value of US$200,000 in SDI stock in four quarterly instalments over the 12-month period ending May 15, 2017. The first quarterly instalment is due August 15, 2016. The stock will be priced at the volume weighted average trading price per common share over the 20-day period preceding the due date. The stock will vest at the end of the contract with Northeast.

NEIP is currently the controlling shareholder in two operating businesses and a 250-unit residential real estate portfolio in the New England area. Northeast also owns minority stakes in a number of public and private businesses including a California company developing wireless electricity. Mr. Ganz is a graduate of Columbia Law School in New York City and completed his accounting designation at Georgetown University in Washington DC.

The Company wishes to inform the market that a Schedule 13D was filed with the SEC on June 8, 2016 by SDI’s largest group of shareholders in the US, holding approximately 10,474,522 shares. The 13D filing by the “reporting persons” relates to the maximizing of shareholder value with the intention of engaging more substantively with management, the board of directors and other relevant parties on matters concerning the business, assets, capitalization, operations and strategy of SDI. The 13D filing says that the reporting person may also discuss strategic alternatives with interested parties to propose or consider extraordinary transactions including joint ventures, mergers or a sale transaction of the Company.

Q3 FY2016

During Q3 2016 SDI announced that it has terminated its proposed acquisition of a less-lethal company, as previously released on May 13, 2016, and April 21, 2016.

During the Company’s due diligence process, SDI identified a number of items in the target company’s (the “Target”) financial statements that raised concerns in support of the negotiated price of the transaction. SDI terminated discussions with the Target during this quarter.

SDI’s management continues to look for acquisitions and strategic partnerships in the less-lethal sector, to broaden its product offering and increase its distribution reach. SDI is currently in preliminary discussions to license its collapsible technology to other less lethal market participants. SDI’s objective is to both (1) increase revenues and (2) gain greater market acceptance for the BIP.

During Q3, SDI appointed Bryan Ganz to the board of directors. With the appointment of Mr. Ganz to the board of directors, the previously announced resignation of Greg Sullivan (previous CEO) as a director becomes effective.

During Q3 SDI reported that it has made the first share issuance to Northeast Industrial Partners under the consulting agreement announced on June 20, 2016. SDI issued 488,851 common shares at a price of $ 0.1023 (CAD $0.1322) per share to satisfy the payment of USD $50,000 due on August 15, 2016. The shares will be subject to a four-month hold period expiring on January 13, 2017, and will not vest until May 2017.

The issuance of shares to Northeast Industrial Partners is the first of four such issuances to occur over the period ending May 15, 2017, as described in the June 20, 2016 news release.

29


Q4 FY2016

During Q4 the Company announced the signing of a sales and distribution agreement with the Bob Barker Company (“Bob Barker”), the nation’s preeminent correctional services supplier, for distribution of SDI’s products through their Officers Only distribution network.

A division of the Bob Barker Company, “Officers Only” is a reliable source for quality apparel and offers a broad and diverse product line-up of protective and essential equipment that are brand recognized and trusted by law enforcement, corrections, military and public service office. SDI will continue to look for qualified distributors as part of its new sales and marketing strategy with a goal of tripling the number of SDI distributors by the end of 2017.

On September 15, 2016 Allen Ezer resigned as Executive Vice President to pursue other opportunities.

During the quarter, the Company appointed Karen Bowling to the board of directors. Ms. Bowling brings more than 25 years of diverse executive management experience to the board of SDI. Some of her skill-sets include; government affairs, lobbying, public relations, government procurement, marketing, communications, operations, and local and state level legislation. Ms. Bowling has also spent part of her career in the less-lethal sector for a long-range acoustic hailing device company.

Ms. Bowling has sat on and chaired numerous boards across a dozen sectors, and has recently been Gubernatorial appointed to the board of the Florida State College in Jacksonville.

Q1 2017

During the quarter, the Company completed the issuance of senior secured convertible notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) to raise USD $1,500,000. This offering was announced and described in the Company’s news release of October 18, 2016.

It was a condition of the offering of Senior Secured Notes that not less than 80% of SDI’s outstanding unsecured debentures (the “Unsecured Debentures”) be exchanged for subordinate convertible secured debentures (the “Subordinate Secured Debentures”). Approximately 88% of the outstanding Unsecured Debentures were exchanged for Subordinate Secured Debentures. The issuances of Senior Secured Notes and Subordinate Secured Debentures were non-brokered transactions.

During the quarter, SDI issued 589,414 common shares at a price of $0.0848 (CAD$0.1142) per share to satisfy the payment of USD $50,000 due on November 15, 2016. The shares are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on May 14, 2017. The issuance of shares to Northeast Industrial Partners is the second of four such issuances to occur over the period ending May 15, 2017, as described in the June 20, 2016 news release.

Northeast Industrial Partners is controlled by Bryan Ganz, who was appointed to the board of directors of SDI after the consulting agreement was entered into. As a condition of stock exchange approval, SDI was required to obtain disinterested shareholder approval of the share issuance reported in this news release. That approval was received on December 15, 2016 at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders.

30


The Company hired a new Director of Sales, Marketing and Training with over 24 years of extensive law enforcement experience. His duties included: SWAT/SRT, patrol, criminal investigations, and various joint federal task forces. He is an armorer for numerous weapon platforms. He has served as an instructor for the following: Taser, defensive tactics/officer survival, impact weapons, active shooter response, SWAT tactics, chemical munitions, handgun, submachine gun, shotgun, and patrol rifle. Additionally, he worked as an instructor training foreign law enforcement and Military personnel in ant-terrorism operations. He has also developed training programs for the US Military (Reserve, National Guard, and Coast Guard) , Federal Agencies, various local and state agencies, as well as private security.

During Q1, SDI received their Federal Firearms and Federal Explosives Licenses. The licensing allows the Company to house and travel with 40mm launchers and munitions for demonstrations globally. The licenses also allow the Company to manufacture, distribute and ship firearms, ammunition and ammunition components, as well as destructive devices. The newly acquired licenses will assist SDI in augmenting new lines of less lethal munitions and components in the coming quarters.

Over the last quarter, the Company signed five (5) new Master Distributors. Master Distributors purchase product from SDI at the lowest price but in exchange, commit to minimum annual purchases of $100,000 annually. This is the first time SDI has signed Master Distributors. The company also signed two (2) new Dealers. Dealers purchase from SDI at slightly higher pricing than Master Distributors, however, Dealers have only a $25,000 annual commitment.

The new Master Distributors include: FACTA Global, Surplus Ammo Arms, US Tactical Supply, Wolverine Supplies, and Ed’s Public Safety. SDI’s new Master Distributors and Dealers will increase the Company’s presence and reach in the northeast, northwest, and southeast corridors in the US, as well as eastern and western Canada.

SDI also signed a consulting agreement with Proxima Consulting, a consulting firm based in Oman, that works with Ministries throughout the GCC (Gulf Coast Countries) countries. The GCC countries include: Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain. As a result of the Proxima Consulting agreement, SDI was able to exhibit at IDEX (the International Defense Exhibition & Conference) in Abu Dhabi on February 2017.

Subsequent to the quarter, the Company signed a multi-year OEM agreement with Mission Less Lethal (Mission), headquartered in Fort Wayne, IN. Under this agreement, SDI will be able to offer its customers a full line of .68 caliber chemical irritant projectiles and air-powered launchers produced by Mission Less Lethal. Mission Less Lethal is the world leader in the design, development, and manufacture of .68 caliber projectiles and launchers, currently in use by thousands of law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and around the world.

The .68 caliber launchers and projectiles are an important addition to SDI’s line of less lethal munitions. Currently, SDI’s flagship product line, the Blunt Impact Projectile (BIP) leads the 40mm (high-kinetic) less lethal segment in range, accuracy, and most importantly safety. Capable of delivering over 200 joules of kinetic energy the BIP is designed to stop an assailant with a single shot. Similarly, SDI’s extensive range of 12 gauge munitions including bean bags, rubber finned rockets, rubber balls and door breaching rounds provide law enforcement with a wide array of less lethal tools. Producing between 110-150 joules of energy these products offer a complete solution set in the mid-to-high kinetic segment. The .68 caliber line of chemical irritant projectiles and launchers fills a critical gap in SDI’s offering by servicing the low kinetic impact segment. At only 15 joules of energy these systems rely more on the dispersion of chemical irritants than on impact energy.

SDI has begun marketing their OEM .68 caliber projectiles and launchers under the Mini Ball™ brand with a full roll-out planned for Q2-2017. The Company’s goal is to provide its dealers, distributors and law enforcement agencies with the widest possible array of less lethal options so that officers always have the correct tool for the job when required.

Q2 2017

During Q2, SDI received the majority of its Department of Transportation (DOT) approvals to ship 12 gauge chemical munitions, 37/40mm launchable rounds, as well as specified hand thrown smoke and gas.

During the quarter, the company made its fourth and final instalment share issuance to Northeast Industrial Partners under the consulting agreement announced on June 20, 2016. SDI issued 534,941 common shares at a price of $0.0935 (CAD$0.1275) per share to satisfy the payment of USD $50,000 due on May 15, 2017. The shares are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on September 16, 2017.

SDI signed on two new dealers to distribute their lines of munitions. The two dealers are located in Texas and Michigan, two strategic States that the Company did not have presence.

31


On May 19, 2017 Public Works and Government Services Canada issued a Request for a Standing Offer (Solicitation #M0077-16J101/A) on behalf of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), for 40mm Blunt Impact Projectiles. SDI has submitted their bid for this standing offer in the anticipation of winning the 3 year tender (with two one year options totaling 5 years). The standing offer for the Company’s calls for 150,000 rounds for years 1 to 3, and an additional 150,000 40mm Blunt Impact Projectiles for the 2 optional years.

Q3 2017

During the quarter, SDI agreed to extend the consulting agreement between the Company and Northeast Industrial Partners LLC (“Northeast”) first announced on June 20, 2016. SDI and Northeast have agreed to extend the consulting agreement that will automatically renew each quarter until either party gives notice of cancellation. For its services and subject to stock exchange approval, Northeast will be issued SDI common shares for its services on August 15, 2017 and quarterly thereafter while the consulting agreement is in effect. Payments will be prorated if the consulting agreement is terminated during any quarterly period.

During Q3, SDI announced the signing of a multi-year agreement to provide its patented collapsible head blunt impact projectiles (BIPs) and collapsible head payload projectiles including OC (pepper spray), CS (tear gas), ML (marking liquid), MP (marking powder), MO (malodorant), IN (inert powder) and DNA (plant based DNA forensic marking rounds) to The Safariland Group (Safariland), headquartered in Jacksonville, FL.

SDI will supply BIPs and payload projectiles to Safariland for integration with Safariland's proprietary propulsion system. These new rounds will be marketed under the industry-leading Defense Technology brand name. The first shipment of rounds were made as of the date of the press release.

Management believes that the agreement with Safariland validates the more than five years of research and development that SDI has invested in the creation of the collapsible head 40mm round. Management further believes that by working in partnership with Safariland, together the companies can reach a far larger market for the BIP than SDI would be able to reach on its own.

The Safariland Group is a leading global provider of a broad range of safety and survivability products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets. The Safariland Group offers a number of recognized brand names in these markets including Safariland®, Med-Eng®, ABA®, Second Chance®, VIEVU®, Mustang Survival®, Bianchi®, Break Free®, PROTECH® Tactical, Defense Technology®, Hatch®, Monadnock®, Identicator® and NIK®. The Safariland Group's mission, "Together, We Save Lives", is inherent in the lifesaving and protective products it delivers. The Safariland Group is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The Safariland Group is a trade name of Safariland, LLC.

During Q3, the Company appointed Don Levantin to the board of directors as an independent member.

Mr. Levantin is a senior executive with a proven record of positioning companies for growth, profitability and acquisition. He is currently the chief executive officer and a board member of Amphora Inc., the leading global software solution and service provider for energy and commodity trading, risk management, and logistics execution. With over 30 years experience, he is an accomplished strategist in conceptualizing, building and operating corporations on a global level in the commodity sector. Prior to leading Amphora, he was a co-founder of Commoditrack, a real-time mark-to-market and risk management platform for commodities, which was acquired by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and later by Sungard Financial Systems. Prior to building and leading companies in the software sector, Mr. Levantin was a commodity trader with Philipp Brothers Commodity Corp. and Phibro Energy. He holds a BS in business and economics from Lehigh University.

Effective October 1, 2017 the Company appointed Paul Jensen as the company’s new President and Chief Operating Officer.

Mr. Jensen is a seasoned, global executive with direct experience in developing high performance teams, managing complex projects, and building a global network of trusted advisers and business partners. His experiences have been focused on plastics contract manufacturing, the defence sector, technology licensing and managing intricate, multinational programs. Mr. Jensen has extensive business experience in the Middle East in both the public and private sectors of defence.

Mr. Jensen’s tenures include: co-founding Halo Maritime Defense Systems, an award-winning technology company offering the world’s most advanced marine automated security system with 13 patents and over $300-million in naval and defence opportunities; Nypro Inc., a billion-dollar plastics injection molding contract manufacturer, where Mr. Jensen held senior management positions for nearly two decades (directed a business unit with $150-million in sales); and positions with Kodak and GE, as well as the U.S. Army (nine years of active duty serving in command positions with the 82nd Airborne Division and XVIIIth Airborne Corps, leading up to Operation Urgent Fury, and on the staff and faculty of the U.S. Military Academy as an assistant professor of chemistry. Mr. Jensen was twice awarded the Meritorious Service Medal.

He is a graduate of the senior executive program at the University of Tennessee and has served on the adjunct faculty at the Fuqua School of Business, Duke University.

During the quarter, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (the “RCMP”) awarded its request for standing offer tender for 150,000 40mm less-lethal rounds to SDI’s North American licensee partner, for the Company’s collapsible-head technology under the brand Defense Technology - 40mm BIP Collapsible Gel Round.

The tender is for 150,000 rounds over a three-year period with an option for an additional 150,000 rounds over an additional two-year period. SDI has supplied rounds to various RCMP departments over the last few years. The Company began supplying the first rounds under its agreement with Safariland in August 2017.

The Company continues to look to partner with and license its intellectual property to large global technology companies that have established defense manufacturing capabilities and in-place distribution networks allowing SDI to reduce its retail effort that currently focuses on direct sales to local police departments and correctional facilities. SDI is in talks with groups in the Middle East as well as the Far East for such partnerships.

In the coming quarter, direct sales efforts for the Company will be moving to an e-commerce platform that will garner increased margins for product sales, and streamline efforts in serving customers. The Company is also looking to develop alternative 40mm launcher solutions to meet the needs of markets that are not serviced within the law enforcement and home defense sectors.

Subsequent to the quarter, Bryan Ganz was appointed executive chairman of the company from his current position as President.

Keith Morrison has resigned from the Company’s board of directors as Chairman, and Karim Kanji has also resigned from the board of directors.

Subsequent to the quarter SDI has closed its warehouse in Perry, FL where it housed its 12g and Mini Ball line of products. This move is to streamline operations and focus on the Company’s 40mm BIP line of products for e-commerce and licensing sales, as well as international licensing opportunities.

Operations

The Company has restructured to reduce its overhead and operating expenses with its new e-commerce and licensing model.

Website Update

SDI continues to update its website to manage its digital presence, as well as maintain its top positioning in search engines for the less-lethal industry. The e-commerce initiative will roll-out in the current quarter for its line of less-lethal products.

Products

SDI’s business is the development, manufacture and sale of less-lethal ammunition. This ammunition is used by the military, correctional services, police agencies, and private security for crowd control.

The Company has three product lines:

a)

The Company has developed the BIP, a blunt impact projectile which uses pain compliance to control a target. The Company has developed eight versions of the standard BIP, seven of which contain a payload and one of which is a cheaper cost, training round. A payload is an internal medium within the BIP, holding a liquid or powder substance.

b)

The Company offers a line of 12 gauge less lethal projectiles and irritants for law enforcement and correctional services agencies. The projectiles come in impact form, rubber balls, chemical irritants, flash bangs, and door breaching pellets.

c)

The Company offers a full line of .68 caliber impact and chemical irritant projectiles for use by correctional services and law enforcement agencies. The platform for these projectiles is an air gun system that includes either a magazine or hopper to house the projectiles for ease of use and rapid deployment.

d)

The Company has undertaken substantial work to develop the WEP, a wireless electric projective which releases an electrical pulse that induces a muscle spasm and causes the target to fall to the ground helpless. This product is not fully complete at this time.

Intellectual Property

Five patent applications, four non-provisional and one provisional, have been filed by the Company with the U.S. Patent Office. The Patents have been granted on the four non-provisional patents.

Non-Provisional (granted patents):

(a) Less-lethal Projectile: This issued patent relates to the Company’s distinctive collapsible ammunition head technology that absorbs kinetic energy of the projectile upon impact. The Corporation’s collapsible head is used in both the BIP and the WEP.

(b) Electronic Circuitry for Incapacitating a Living Target: This issued patent relates to the electronic circuitry incapacitation system which forms part of the WEP. The patent describes an electronic circuit which provides an electrical incapacitation current to a living target.

(c) Less-lethal Wireless Stun Projectile System for Immobilizing a Target by Neuro-Muscular Disruption: This issued patent describes the process by which the WEP operates with its attachment system to halt a target through a neuro-muscular-disruption system.

(d) Autonomous Operation of a Less-lethal Projectile: This patent describes a motion sensing system within the WEP. The sensor will monitor movement of the target and enable the electrical output until the target is subdued. The electrical pulse is programmed for an exact time-frame to specifications of the user.

Provisional Patent:

(e) Payload carrying arrangement for a non-lethal projectile: This Provisional patent relates to the process of carrying liquid and powder payloads in the head of the BIP munitions that upon impact release from the head and are dispersed upon the target.

The Company’s policy has been to write off cost incurred in connection with non-provisional and provisional patent costs as they are incurred as a recoverability of such expenditure is uncertain.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates include assumptions about stock-based compensation expense, valuation for deferred tax assets, incremental borrowing rate on leases, valuation and carrying value of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, useful life of long-lived assets, and allowance for sales returns.

RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2017-04,Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). The FASB issued the update to simplify the measurement of goodwill by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for the Company filed an amended and restated final prospectus (the “Prospectus”) in Canada,so long as it remains a smaller reporting company in the provincesfirst quarter of Alberta, British Columbia2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The guidance changes the impairment model used to measure credit losses for most financial assets. A new forward-looking expected credit loss model will replace the existing incurred credit loss model and Ontariowill impact the Company’s accounts and other receivables. This is expected to generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for listing its shares in these provinces in Canada. On August 27, 2013,credit losses.

January 2023, the Company acquired a 51% ownership interest in Byrna LATAM, a corporate joint venture formed to expand the Company’s operations and presence in South American markets, for $0.5 million. The Company accounts for the investment in the joint venture using the equity method since the Company does not have voting control of Byrna LATAM.  Additionally, the Company does not have substantive participating rights that would result in the Company having control of Byrna LATAM. 

Investments in equity method investees are those for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence or exercise joint control with other investors but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary. Under this method of accounting, the Company’s investment is recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for its proportionate share of the net earnings or losses.  The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.  The Company recorded its share of the joint venture’s loss during the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as other expense. The carrying value of the Company's investment in the joint venture at May 31, 2023 is $0.2 million and is recorded as investment in joint venture in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In January 2023, the Company loaned $1.6 million to Byrna LATAM.  The loan bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.0%.  The interest rate on the loan was 7.8% as of May 31, 2023.  The loan amount must be repaid within five years from the date of the loan, or January 10, 2028.  Interest income related to the loan receivable is included in interest income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.  The loan receivable is recorded as loan to joint venture in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

REVENUE, DEFERRED REVENUE AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company generates revenue through the issuancewholesale distribution of 9,984,950 Common Shares atits products and accessories to dealers/distributors, and sales to large end-users such as retail stores, security companies and law enforcement agencies, and through e-commerce portals to consumers. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of goods to the customer, which generally occurs when title to goods is passed and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Depending on the contract terms, transfer of control is upon shipment of goods to or upon the customer’s pick-up of the goods. Payment terms to customers other than e-commerce customers are generally 30-60 days for established customers, whereas new wholesale and large end-user customers have prepaid terms for their first order. The amount of revenue recognized is net of returns and discounts that the Company offers to its customers. Products purchased include a standard warranty that cannot be purchased separately. This allows customers to return defective products for repair or replacement within one year of sale. The Company also sells an extended warranty for the same terms over three years. The extended 3-year warranty can be purchased separately from the product and are classified as a service warranty. Since a warranty for the first year after sale is included and non-separable from all launcher purchases, the Company considers this extended warranty to represent a service obligation during the second and third years after sale. Therefore, the Company accumulates billings of these transactions on the balance sheet as deferred revenue, to be recognized on a straight-line basis during the second and third year after sale. The Company recognizes an estimated reserve based on its analysis of historical experience, and an evaluation of current market conditions. 

The Company also has a 14-day money back guarantee, which allows for a full refund of the purchase price, excluding shipping charges, within 14 days from the date of CAD $0.40 (US $0.38) per Common Share (the “Issue Price”)delivery.  The right of return creates a variable component to the transaction price and needs to be considered for any possible constraints. The Company estimates returns using the expected value method, as there will likely be a range of potential return amounts. The Company’s reserve for returns under the 14-day money back guarantee for the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022 were immaterial.

The Company sells to dealers and retailers for whom there is no money back guarantee but who may request a return or credit for unforeseen reasons or who may have agreed discounts or allowances to be netted from amounts invoiced. The Company reserves for returns, discounts and allowances based on past performance and on agreement terms and reports revenue net of the estimated reserve.  The Company's reserve for returns, discounts, and allowances for the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022 were immaterial.

The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products. Shipping and handling costs associated with the distribution of finished products to customers, are recorded in operating expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer.

Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of products, such as labor and overhead, inbound freight costs, manufacturing depreciation, purchasing and receiving costs, and inspection costs.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivables due from dealers/distributers, large end-users such as retail stores, security companies, and law enforcement agencies.  Accounts receivable, net of allowances, was $4.2 million, $4.2 million, $5.9 million, $1.1 million, and $1.7 million as of May 31, 2023, February 28, 2023,  November 30, 2022, February 28, 2022, and November 30, 2021, respectively.

The Company’s potential dilutive securities, which may include stock options and unvested restricted stock units have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. Therefore, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same. 

The following potential common shares, presented based on amounts outstanding at this time.each period end, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company enteredis exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the methods used to measure them.

i)

Currency Risk

The Company held its cash balances within banks in the U.S. in U.S. dollars and with banks in South Africa in U.S. dollars and South African rand. The Company’s operations are conducted in the U.S. and South Africa. The value of the South African rand against the U.S. dollar may fluctuate with changes in economic conditions.

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2023, in comparison to the prior year period, the U.S. dollar was weaker in relation to the South African rand, and upon the translation of the Company’s subsidiaries’ revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities held in South African rand, respectively. As a Development, Supplyresult, the Company recorded a translation adjustment loss of $1.2 million and Manufacturing Agreement witha benefit of $0.07 million related to the BIP ManufacturerSouth African rand during the six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  As a result, the Company recorded a translation adjustment loss of $0.6 million and a benefit of $0.01 million related to the South African rand during the three months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company’s South African subsidiary revenues, cost of goods sold, operating costs and capital expenditures are denominated in South African rand. Consequently, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate against the South African rand increases the volatility of sales, cost of goods sold and operating costs and overall net earnings when translated into U.S. dollars. The Company is not using any forward or option contracts to fix the foreign exchange rates. Using a 10% fluctuation in the U.S. exchange rate, the impact on August 1, 2017. This Agreement providesthe loss and stockholders’ equity (deficit) is not material.

ii)

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to ordercredit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and purchase only fromaccounts receivable. The Company maintains cash with high credit quality financial institutions located in the BIP Manufacturer certain BIP assembliesU.S. and components for useSouth Africa. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with financial institutions in the U.S. in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help you understand us, our operations and our financial performance. It should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included in Item 1 of this report.

Byrna Technologies is a designer, manufacturer, retailer and distributor of innovative technological solutions for security situations that do not require the use of lethal force. Our mantra is Live Safe, and our core mission is to empower individuals to safely and fully engage in life and adventure. Our design team’s directive is to build easy-to-use self-defense tools to enhance the safety of our customers and their loved ones at home and outdoors. We are also focused on developing tools that can be used instead of firearms by professional law enforcement and private security customers to reduce shootings and facilitate trust between police and the communities they seek to serve. Our strategy is to establish Byrna® as a consumer lifestyle brand associated with the confidence people can achieve by knowing they can protect themselves, their loved ones and those around them. We believe we have a significant opportunity to leverage the Byrna brand to expand our product line, broaden our user base and generate increasing sales from new and existing customers.

19

Our business strategy is twofold: (1) to fulfill the growing demand for less-lethal products in the law enforcement, correctional services, and private security markets and (2) to provide civilians – including those whose work or daily activities may put them at risk of being a victim – with easy access to an effective, non-lethal way to protect themselves and their loved ones from threats to their person or property.

We believe that the United States, along with many other parts of the Company’s outstanding Unsecured Debentures, were exchangedworld, is experiencing a significant spike in the demand for an equal principal amountless-lethal products and that the less-lethal market will be one of the Subordinate Secured Debenturesfaster growing segments of the security market over the next decade.  We plan to respond to this demand for less-lethal products through the serial production and distribution of the Byrna® SD and expansion of the Byrna product line.

On January 10, 2023, the Company created a new joint venture with Fusady S.A. ("Fusady") located in Uruguay, to expand the Company's operations and presence in South American markets.  The Company holds 51% of the stock in the joint venture entity, Uldawer S.A. (soon to be renamed "Byrna LATAM"), and the remaining 49% of stock in Byrna LATAM is held by Fusady. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results for the second quarter of 2023 demonstrate a consistent demand for our Byrna SD personal security device and growth of the production capacity and administrative and control structures necessary to supply that demand.  Revenue decreased slightly to $11.5 million from $11.6 million in the second quarter of last year.  

Three months ended May 31, 2023 as compared to three months ended May 31, 2022:

Net Revenue

Revenues were $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 which represents a slight decrease of $0.1 million as compared to the prior year period revenues of $11.6 million.  E-commerce sales, through our website and Amazon, decreased $0.1 million to $6.8 million during the second quarter of  2023 from $6.9 million during the second quarter of  2022.  Sales to domestic dealers/distributors increased $0.9 million, or 45.0% to $2.9 million during the second quarter 2023 from $2.0 million during the second quarter of 2022.  Sales to customers in Canada increased to $0.2 million during the second quarter of  2023 from $0.02 million during the  second quarter of 2022. In addition, Fox Labs, which we acquired on May 25, 2022, added $0.3 million in pepper sprays sales to the second quarter of 2023.  These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.5 million in international sales from $2.7 million during the second quarter of  2022 to $1.2 million during the second quarter of  2023.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold was $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $5.5 million in the prior year period. This $0.2 million decrease is primarily due to a decrease in sales. 

Gross Profit

Gross profit is calculated as total revenue less cost of goods sold and gross margin is calculated as gross profit divided by total revenue. Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of products, such as labor and overhead, inbound freight costs, manufacturing depreciation, purchasing and receiving costs, and inspection costs. Gross profit was $6.2 million in the second quarter of  2023, or 53.9% of net revenue, as compared to gross profit of approximately $6.1 million, or 52.7% of net revenue, in the prior year period.  The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of sales is primarily due to a decrease in the proportion of sales to lower margin international channels.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of  $1.7 million, as compared to the prior year period expenses of $8.7 million.  The decrease is due to managed cost reduction as detailed below.  

Payroll related costs, excluding stock compensation, decreased $0.6 million from $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 while stock based and related incentive compensation costs were flat at approximately $1.5 million during the second quarters of both 2023 and 2022.  Marketing expenses decreased by $0.6 million from $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 to $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2023.  Professional fees decreased $0.2 million to $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2023 from $0.4 million during the second quarter of 2022. Insurance costs decreased $0.1 million to $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2023 from $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2022 due to negotiation of improved contract terms.

Loss from Operations

The reduction in operating expenses resulted in a reduction in loss from operations of $1.8 million to $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2022.

Other Income (Expense)

We recorded $0.05 million of foreign currency translation loss during the second quarter of 2023 compared to $0.3 million of foreign currency translation loss during the second quarter of 2022.  We recorded $0.1 million of interest income during the second quarter of 2023 compared to $0.01 million of interest in the second quarter of 2022.  We recorded a loss of $0.2 million from our South American joint venture investment that was formed during the first quarter of 2023.  Other expenses of $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2023 and $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2022 are primarily due to write-off of fixed assets identified during our quarterly impairment review.

20

Income Tax Provision

For the three months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded an income tax expense of $0.02 million and $0.05 million, respectively. For the three months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rate was -1.6% and -1.6%, respectively.  Our tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 21.0% due to the effects of state taxes net of federal benefit, the foreign tax rate differential as a result of Byrna South Africa, effects of permanent non-deductible expenses, the recording of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets generated in the current period, and other effects.  

Net Loss

Net loss was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, an improvement of $1.9 million compared to the net loss of  $3.0 million for the second quarter of  2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we provide an additional CAD$37,000financial metric that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP) with presenting non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate our financial performance. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure helps us to identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of Subordinated Secured Debenturescertain expenses that we exclude in the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measure.

Accordingly, we believe that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.

This non-GAAP financial measure does not replace the presentation of our GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations in the use of non-GAAP measures, because they do not include all the expenses that must be included under GAAP and because they involve the exercise of judgment concerning exclusions of items from the comparable non-GAAP financial measure. In addition, other companies may use other non-GAAP measures to evaluate their performance, or may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measure as a tool for comparison.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income excluding the impact of (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) income tax provision (benefit); (iii) interest income (expense); (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) impairment loss and (vi) one time, non-recurring other expenses or income. Our Adjusted EBITDA measure eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting finance costs), tax positions, the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense). We also exclude certain one-time and non-cash costs. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows (in thousands):

Six months ended May 31, 2023 as compared to six months ended May 31, 2022:

Net Revenue

Revenues were issued$19.9 million in satisfactionthe six months ended May 31, 2023 which represents an increase of $0.3 million or 1.6% as compared to the prior year period revenues of $19.6 million.  E-commerce sales, through our website and Amazon, decreased $0.1 million to $13.0 million during the first half of 2023 from $13.1 million during the first half of 2022.  Sales to domestic dealers/distributors increased $0.9 million from $3.6 million in the six months ended May 31, 2022 to $4.5 million in the six months ended May 31, 2023.  Sales to customers in Canada increased to $0.5 million during the six months ended May 31, 2023 from less than $0.03 million from the prior year.  In addition, Fox Labs, which was acquired on May 25, 2022, added $0.5 million in sales of pepper sprays during the six months ended May 31, 2023.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in international sales from $2.8 million during the first half of 2022 to $1.4 million during the first half of 2023.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold was $8.5 million in the six months ended May 31, 2023 compared to $8.9 million in the prior year period. This $0.4 million decrease is primarily due to cost reductions in freight and raw materials.  

Gross Profit

Gross profit is calculated as total revenue less cost of goods sold and gross margin is calculated as gross profit divided by total revenue. Included as cost of goods sold are costs associated with the production and procurement of products, such as labor and overhead, inbound freight costs, manufacturing depreciation, purchasing and receiving costs, and inspection costs. Gross profit was $11.4 million in the six months ended May 31, 2023, or 57.5% of net revenue, as compared to gross profit of approximately $10.7 million, or 54.8% of net revenue, in the prior year period.  The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of sales is due to realization of significant cost reductions in switching from air freight to ocean freight and to lower cost suppliers for raw materials as well as a decrease in the proportion of sales to lower margin international channels.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $14.3 million in the six months ended May 31, 2023, a decrease of $2.5 million, as compared to the prior year period expenses of $16.8 million.  The decrease is due to a managed cost reduction as detailed below.  

Payroll related costs, excluding stock compensation, decreased $1.3 million from $6.2 million in the six months ended May 31, 2022 to $4.9 million in the six months ended May 31, 2023 while stock based and related incentive compensation costs were $2.8 million in the first half of 2022 to $3.0 million in the first half of 2023.  Marketing expenses decreased by $1.1 million from $2.6 million in the six months ended May 31, 2022 to $1.5 million in the six months ended May 31, 2023.  Insurance costs decreased $0.3 million to $0.4 million during the first half of 2023 from $0.7 million during the first half of 2022 due to negotiation of improved contract terms.

Loss from Operations

The improvement in gross margin and reduction in operating expenses resulted in a reduction in loss from operations of  $3.2 million to $2.8 million for the first half of 2023 compared to $6.0 million for the first half of 2022.

Other Income (Expense)

We recorded $0.2 million of foreign currency translation loss during the first half of 2023 compared to $0.1 million of foreign currency translation loss during the first half of 2022.  We recorded $0.3 million of interest income during the first half of 2023 compared to $0.1 of interest in the first half of 2022.  We recorded a loss of $0.3 million from our South American joint venture investment that was formed during the first quarter of 2023.  Other expenses of $0.3 million during the first half of 2023 and $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2022 are primarily related to fixed asset impairment and disposals. 

22

Income Tax Provision

For the six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.04 million and $0.07 million, respectively. For the six months ended May 31, 2023 and 2022, the effective tax rate was 1.3% and 1.1%, respectively.  Our tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 21.0% due to the effects of state taxes net of federal benefit, the foreign tax rate differential as a result of Byrna South Africa, effects of permanent non-deductible expenses, the recording of a portionvaluation allowance against the deferred tax assets generated in the current period, and other effects.  

Net Loss

Net loss was $3.3 million for the first half of 2023, an improvement of  $3.0 million compared to the net loss of $6.2 million for the first half of 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we provide an additional financial metric that is not prepared in accordance with GAAP (non-GAAP) with presenting non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 5, “Recent Accounting Guidance,” in the Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report for a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting standards.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the Unsecured Debentures. Both seniorselection and subordinated secured debentures mature on June 6, 2019 unless converted or extendedapplication of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Our significant accounting policies are fully secured againstoutlined in Note 4, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the undertaking, property and assetsNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company including its patents. Inability2022 Form 10-K. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2023, there were no significant changes to repayour critical accounting policies from those described in our 2022 Form 10-K, except as follows.

Investment in Joint Venture

Investments in equity method investees are those for which we have the secured debt on maturity, ifability to exercise significant influence but does not control and is not the debtprimary beneficiary. Under this method of accounting, our investment is neither converted nor extended, will resultrecorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for our proportionate share of the net earnings or losses.  We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.

In January 2023, we acquired a 51% ownership interest in Byrna LATAM, a corporate joint venture formed to expand our operations and presence in South American markets, for $0.5 million. We account for the investment in the financial condition ofjoint venture using the equity method because the Company to be materially adversely affected.

Additional Financing

The Corporation does not have adequate revenue to fund allvoting control of its operational needs and may require additional financing to continue its operations if it is unable to generate substantial revenue growth. There can be no assuranceByrna LATAM.  Additionally, we do not have substantive participating rights that such financing will be available at all or on favorable terms. Failure to generate substantial revenue growth maywould result in the Corporation looking to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponementus having control of Byrna LATAM. 

We recorded our share of the Corporation’s deploymentjoint venture’s loss during the three and six months ended May 31, 2023 of its products, resulting$0.2 million and $0.3 million in the possible dilution. Any such financing will dilute the ownership interestConsolidated Statements of the Corporation’s shareholders at the time of the financing,Operations and may dilute theComprehensive Loss as other expense. The carrying value of their shareholdings.

General Venture Company Risks

The Common Shares must be considered highly speculative due to the nature of the Corporation’s business, the early stage of its deployment, its current financial position and ongoing requirements for capital. Anour investment in the Common Shares should only be considered by those persons who can afford a total loss of investment,joint venture at May 31, 2023 is $0.2 million and is not suited to those investors who may need to dispose of theirrecorded in investment in a timely fashion. Investors should consult with their own professional advisorsjoint venture in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In January 2023, we loaned $1.6 million to assessByrna LATAM, which is recorded as loan to joint venture in the legal, financialConsolidated Balance Sheets.

Uncertainty of Revenue Growth

There can be no assurance that the Corporation can generate substantial revenue growth, or that any revenue growth that is achieved can be sustained. Revenue growth that the Corporation has achieved or may achieve may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, the Corporation may increase further its operating expenses in order to fund increase its sales and marketing efforts and increase its administrative resources in anticipation of future growth. To the extent that increases in such expenses precede or are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, the Corporation’s business, operating results and financial condition will be materially adversely affected.

Dependence on Management and Key Personnel

The Corporation is dependent on certain membersCompany’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of its management. The loss of the services of one or more of them could adversely affect the Corporation. The Corporation’s ability to maintain its competitive position is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial, specialized technical, manufacturing, sales and marketing personnel. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to continue to recruit and retain such personnel. The inability of the Corporation to recruit and retain such personnel would adversely affect the Corporation’s operations and product development.

Dependence on Key Suppliers

The Corporation may be able to purchase certain key components of its products from a limited number of suppliers. Failure of a supplier to provide sufficient quantities on favorable terms or on a timely basis could result in possible lost sales.

Product Liability

The Corporation may be subject to proceedings or claims that may arise in the ordinary conduct of the business, which could include product and service warranty claims, which could be substantial. If its products fail to perform as warranted and it fails to quickly resolve product quality or performance issues in a timely manner, sales may be lost and it may be forced to pay damages. Any failure to meet customer requirements could materially affect its business, results of operations and financial condition. The occurrence of product defects and the inability to correct errors could result in the delay or loss of market acceptance of its products, material warranty expense, diversion of technological and other resources from its product development efforts, and the loss of credibility with customers, manufacturer’s representatives, distributors, value added resellers, systems integrators, original equipment manufacturers and end-users, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, operating results and financial conditions.

The Corporation currently has general liability insurance that includes product liability coverage. There is no assurance this insurance policy will cover all potential claims which may have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Corporation. A product recall could have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Corporation.

Strategic Alliances

The Corporation relies upon, and expects to rely upon, strategic alliances with original equipment manufacturers for the manufacturing and distribution of its products. There can be no assurance that such strategic alliances can be achieved or will achieve their goals.

Marketing and Distribution Capabilities

In order to commercialize its technology, the Corporation must either acquire or develop an internal marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capabilities or arrange for third parties to perform these services. In order to market any of its products, the Corporation must either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. The acquisition or development of a sales and distribution infrastructure would require substantial resources, which may divert the attention of its Management and key personnel, and defer its product development and deployment efforts. To the extent that the Corporation enters into marketing and sales arrangements with other companies, its revenues will depend on the efforts of others. These efforts may not be successful. If the Corporation fails to develop substantial sales, marketing and distribution channels, or to enter into arrangements with third parties for those purposes, it will experience delays in product sales and incur increased costs.

The markets for the Corporation’s products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards, which could result in product obsolescence or short product life cycles. Accordingly, the Corporation’s success is dependent upon its ability to anticipate technological changes in the industries it serves and to successfully identify, obtain, develop and market new products that satisfy evolving industry requirements. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will successfully develop new products or enhance and improve its existing products or that any new products and enhanced and improved existing products will achieve market acceptance. Further, there can be no assurance that competitors will not market products that have perceived advantages over the Corporation’s products or which render the products currently sold by the Corporation obsolete or less marketable. Regardless of the Industry as a whole, the less lethal sector moves somewhat slower in the adaptation and integration of new products.

The Corporation must commit significant resources to developing new products before knowing whether its investments will result in products the market will accept. To remain competitive, the Corporation may be required to invest significantly greater resources then currently anticipated in research and development and product enhancement efforts, and result in increased operating expenses.

Competition

The Corporation’s industry is highly competitive and composed of many domestic and foreign companies. The Corporation has experienced and expects to continue to experience, substantial competition from numerous competitors whom it expects to continue to improve their products and technologies. Competitors may announce and introduce new products, services or enhancements that better meet the needs of end-users or changing industry standards, or achieve greater market acceptance due to pricing, sales channels or other factors. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly than the Corporation to changes in end-user requirements and devote greater resources to the enhancement, promotion and sale of their products.

Regulation

The Corporation is subject to numerous federal, provincial, state and local environmental, health and safety legislation and measures relating to the manufacture of ammunition. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will not experience difficulties with its efforts to comply with applicable regulations as they change in the future or that its continued compliance efforts (or failure to comply with applicable requirements) will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s results of operations, business, prospects and financial condition. The Corporation’s continued compliance with present and changing future laws could restrict the Corporation’s ability to modify or expand its facilities or continue production and could require the Corporation to acquire costly equipment or to incur other significant expense.

Intellectual Property

The Corporation’s ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on its ability to maintain the proprietary nature of its technology and manufacturing processes. Although the Corporation considers certain of its product designs as well as manufacturing processes involving certain of its products to be proprietary, patents or copyrights do not protect all design and manufacturing processes. The Corporation has adopted procedures to protect its intellectual property and maintain secrecy of its confidential business information and trade secrets. However, there can be no assurance that such procedures will afford complete protection of such intellectual property, confidential business information and trade secrets. There can be no assurance that the Corporation’s competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to the Corporation’s technology.

41


To protect the Corporation’s intellectual property, it may become involved in litigation, which could result in substantial expenses, divert the attention of its management, cause significant delays and materially disrupt the conduct of its business.

Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights

While the Corporation believes that its products and other intellectual property do not infringe upon the proprietary rights of third parties, its commercial success depends, in part, upon the Corporation not infringing intellectual property rights of others. A number of the Corporation’s competitors and other third parties have been issued or may have filed patent applications or may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights for technologies similar to those utilized by the Corporation. Some of these patents may grant very broad protection to the owners of the patents. The Corporation has not undertaken a review to determine whether any existing third party patents or the issuance of any third- party patents would require the Corporation to alter its technology, obtain licenses or cease certain activities. The Corporation may become subject to claims by third parties that its technology infringes their intellectual property rights due to the growth of products in its target markets, the overlap in functionality of those products and the prevalence of products. The Corporation may become subject to these claims either directly or through indemnities against these claims that it provides to end-users, manufacturer’s representatives, distributors, value added resellers, system integrators and original equipment manufacturers.

Litigation may be necessary to determine the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights or to establish the Corporation’s proprietary rights. Some of its competitors have, or are affiliated with companies having, substantially greater resources than the Corporation and these competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex intellectual property litigation to a greater degree and for a longer period of time than the Corporation. Regardless of their merit, any such claims could be time consuming to evaluate and defend, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays or stoppages, divert management’s attention and focus away from the business, subject the Corporation to significant liabilities and equitable remedies, including injunctions, require the Corporation to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements and require the Corporation to modify or stop using infringing technology.

The Corporation may be prohibited from developing or commercializing certain technologies and products unless it obtains a license from a third party. There can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain any such license on commercially favorable terms or at all. If it does not obtain such a license, it could be required to cease the sale of certain of its products.

Health and Safety

Health and safety issues related to its products may arise that could lead to litigation or other action against the Corporation or to regulation of certain of its product components. The Corporation may be required to modify its technology and may not be able to do so. It may also be required to pay damages that may reduce its profitability and adversely affect its financial condition. Even if these concerns prove to be baseless, the resulting negative publicity could affect the Corporation’s ability to market certain of its products and, in turn, could harm its business and results from operations.

Stress in the global financial system may adversely affect the Corporation’s operations in ways that may be hard to predict or to defend against

Recent events have demonstrated that businesses and industries throughout the world are very tightly connected to each other. Thus, events seemingly unrelated to the Corporation, or to its industry, may adversely affect its finances or operations in ways that are hard to predict or defend against. For example, credit contraction in financial markets may hurt the Corporation’s ability to access credit when it is needed or rapid changes in foreign exchange rates may adversely affect financial results. Finally, a reduction in credit, combined with reduced economic activity, may adversely affect businesses and industries that collectively constitute a significant portion of the Corporation’s customer base. As a result, these customers may need to reduce their purchases of the Corporation’s products, or there may be greater difficulty in receiving payment for the products that these customers purchase from the Corporation. Any of these events, or any other events caused by turmoil in world financial markets, may have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, and financial condition.

42


Insurance and Uninsured Risks

The Corporation’s business is subject to a number of risks and hazards including industrial accidents, labor disputes and changes in the regulatory environment. Such occurrences could result in damage to equipment, personal injury or death, monetary losses and possible legal liability. Although the Corporation maintains liability insurance in amounts which it considers adequate, the nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed policy limits, the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable, or the Corporation may elect not to insure against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event the Corporation could incur significant costs that could have a materially adverse effect upon its financial position.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain directors and officers of the Corporation are or may become associated with other companies in the same or related industries which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Directors who have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with the Corporation are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors and the officers are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation. The directors and officers of the Corporation have either other full-time employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, the Corporation will not be the only business enterprise of these directors and officers.

Dividend Policy

The Corporation has not paid dividends in the past and has no plans to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. The future dividend policy of the Corporation will be determined by its directors.

Lack of Active Market

There can be no assurance that an active market for the Common Shares will continue and any increased demand to buy or sell the Common Shares can create volatility in price and volume.

Market Price of Common Shares

There can be no assurance that an active market for the Common Shares will be sustained. Securities of small and midcap companies have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include global economic developments and market perceptions of the attractiveness of certain industries. The price per Common Share is also likely to be affected by change in the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations as reflected in its quarterly filings. Other factors unrelated to the performance of the Corporation that may have an effect on the price of Common Shares include the following: the extent of analytical coverage available to subscribers concerning the business of the Corporation may be limited if investment banks with research capabilities do not follow the Corporation’s securities; lessening in trading volume and general market interest in the Corporation’s securities may affect a subscriber’s ability to trade significant numbers of Common Shares, the size of the Corporation’s public float may limit the ability of some institutions to invest in the Corporation’s securities; a substantial decline in the price of the Common Shares that persists for a significant period of time could cause the Corporation’s securities to be delisted from the exchange, further reducing market liquidity. If an active market for the Common Shares does not continue, the liquidity of a subscriber’s investment may be limited and the price of the Common Shares may decline. If such a market does not develop, subscribers may lose their entire investment in the Common Shares.

43


Political Regulatory Risks

Any changes in government policy may result in changes to laws affecting the sale of the Corporation’s products. This may affect the Corporation’s ability to ship product in the future. The possibility that future governments may adopt substantially different policies, may also effect the Corporation’s operations. Local governments in all countries the Corporation deals with issue end user certificates to purchase or receive live ammunition from the Corporation. It is the decision of these countries in the Middle East, the United States, Canada, Europe, and the Baltics whether or not they will take possession or purchase such munitions.

Dividends

The Corporation has not, since the date of its incorporation, declared or paid any dividends on its Common Shares and does not currently intend to pay dividends. Earnings, if any, will be retained to finance further growth and development of the business of the Corporation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

We have several Directors with business experience and spending time with the business.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, the Company occasionally becomes involved in various legal proceedings. The results of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty because such matters are inherently uncertain. Significant damages or penalties may be sought in some matters, and some matters may require years to resolve. In our opinion, at this time, any liability from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 9, 2023.  Except for the risk factor set forth, as of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Restrictions imposed by advertising and social media platforms that we use may result in decreased sales and market presence.

Our direct-to-consumer sales rely to a significant degree on advertising that we place on advertising platforms, including social media platforms.  Recently, Meta has prohibited advertising of any Byrna product and Google has imposed significant restrictions on our ability to advertise on its platform.  Any prohibitions or restrictions on advertising imposed by these or other platforms, or any changes in the algorithms used by such platforms, may result in reduced direct-to-consumer sales, reduced traffic to our website and a decreased market presence, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

On February 15, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a plan to buy back up to $10.0 million worth of shares of the Company's common stock from the open market (“Stock Buyback Plan”).  The Stock Buyback Plan was used to return capital to shareholders and to minimize the dilutive impact of stock options and other share-based awards.  Our Company's Board of Directors specified an expiration date of the sooner of April 30, 2022 or upon reaching the aggregate limit of $10.0 million for the repurchases under the Stock Buyback Plan.  The Company completed the full $10.0 million for the repurchases during March 2022. 

On April 28, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a plan to buy back up to an additional $5.0 million worth of shares of our common stock.  We completed the full $5.0 million repurchase of shares during May 2022.

On October 6, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to buy back up to an additional $2.5 million worth of shares of the Company's common stock.  The Company completed the full $2.5 million repurchase of shares during November 2022.
