Overview of Our Business

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 11, 2005, under the name Treadzone, Inc. We were a shell company with little or no operations until March 1, 2006, when we acquired the exclusive global manufacturing, distribution, sale and use rights to the Leatt-Brace®, pursuant to a license agreement between the Company and Xceed Holdings, a company controlled by the Company's Chairman and founder, Dr. Christopher Leatt. On May 25, 2005, we changed our name to Leatt Corporation in connection with our anticipated acquisition of the Leatt-Brace® rights. Leatt designs, develops, markets and distributes personal protective equipment for participants in all forms of motor sports and leisure activities, including riders of motorcycles, bicycles, snowmobiles and ATVs. The Company sells its products to customers worldwide through a global network of distributors and retailers. Leatt also acts as the original equipment manufacturer for personal protective equipment sold by other international brands.

The Company's flagship products are based on the Leatt-Brace® system, a patented injection molded neck protection system owned by Xceed Holdings, designed to prevent potentially devastating injuries to the cervical spine and neck. The Company has the exclusive global manufacturing, distribution, sale and use rights to the Leatt-Brace®, pursuant to a license agreement between the Company and Xceed Holdings, a company owned and controlled by the Company's Chairman and founder, Dr. Christopher Leatt. The Company also has the right to use apparatus embodying, employing and containing the Leatt-Brace® technology and has designed, developed, marketed and distributed other personal protective equipment using this technology, as well as its own developed technology, including the Company's body protection products, and helmets which it markets under the Leatt® brand.

The Company's research and development efforts are conducted at its research facilities, located at its executive headquarters in Cape Town, South Africa. The Company employs 4 full-time employees who are dedicated exclusively to research, development, and testing. The Company also utilizes consultants, academic institutions and engineering companies as independent contractors or consultants, from time to time, to assist it with its research and development efforts. Leatt products have been tested and reviewed internally and by external bodies. All Leatt products are compliant with applicable European Union directives, or CE certified, where appropriate. Depending on the market, we have other certifications outside of CE. Specifically, all our motorcycle helmets comply with the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) UN Regulation No. 22 r06, and our bicycle helmets comply with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) EN-1078 standard. For the US market, our motorcycle helmets comply with the US Department of Transportation (DOT) FMVSS 218 helmet safety standard and our bicycle helmets comply with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) 1203 standard for helmet safety. Our downhill specific bicycle helmets also comply with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F1952 standard for downhill racing safety. For the UK market, substantially all of our motorcycle helmets comply with the Auto Cycle Union (ACU) gold standard, for the Japanese market, our Moto 3.5 helmet with the Japanese Standard Association (JSA) JIS T 8133 standard for protective helmets, and for the Brazilian market our Moto 9.5, Moto 7.5, Moto 3.5, and Moto 2.5 helmets comply with The Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT) NBR 7471 safety standard. Moto 9.5, Moto 8.5, Moto 7.5, Moto 3.5 and Moto 2.5 ADV 9.5, ADV 8.5 and ADV 7.5 have CCC approval for the market in China. Our Enduro 4.0 helmet, All-Mountain 4.0 helmet and Gravity 5.0 helmet have acquired NTA8776 certification, a new e-bike helmet certification required in the Dutch Technical Agreement (NTA) 8776. The Moto 9.5 has been homologated to FRHPhe-02-2023 for us in FIM sanctioned off-road racing events. We are also working on getting some of our high-end MTB helmets tested at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (V-Tech) in the United States, according to their rating system. In addition to our helmet portfolio, our goggles and sunglasses undergo certification and testing in accordance with applicable international eyewear standards. Within our goggle range, the Velocity 6.5, 5.5 and 4.5 goggles are certified to EN1938 and are impact-tested on the lenses according to MIL-DTL-43511D. The Velocity 6.5 SNX, 5.5 SNX and 4.5 SNX goggles are certified to EN13178 and are also impact-tested to MIL-DTL-43511D. Our MTB 5.0, 4.0 and 4.0 X-Flow goggles are tested to EN1938 and undergo MIL-DTL-43511D lens impact testing. The Vizion 3.5, 2.5 and 2.5s goggles are certified to EN1938, while our MTB 2.0 goggles are tested to EN1938. Within our sunglass range, the SpeedViz Pro and SpeedViz Lite models are tested to EN ISO 12312, ANSI Z87.1 and AS/NZS 1067.1. Our RideViz Pro, RideViz Lite, RideViz Pro S, RideViz Lite S, TheViz Andes, TheViz Sierra, TheViz Pyrenees and MadViz One sunglasses are tested to EN ISO 12312, ANSI Z80.3 and AS/NZS 1067.1.

Our products are predominantly manufactured in China in accordance with our manufacturing specifications, pursuant to outsourced manufacturing arrangements with third-party manufacturers located there, based on agreed terms. We continue to build manufacturing capacity outside China, namely, in Thailand, Cambodia, and Bangladesh. The Company utilizes outside consultants and its own employees to ensure the quality of its products through regular on-site product inspections. Products sold to our international customers are usually shipped directly from our consolidation warehouse or manufacturers' warehouses to customers or their import agents.

Leatt earns revenues through the sale of its products through approximately 61 distributors worldwide and 6 e-commerce partners, who in turn sell its products to retailers. Leatt distributors are required to follow certain standard business terms and guidelines for the sale and distribution of Leatt products. Two Eleven and Leatt SA directly distribute Leatt products to dealers and direct to end consumers through digital channels in the United States and South Africa, respectively.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

We believe that the following factors will continue to affect our financial performance:

  • Global Economic Fragility - The ongoing turmoil in the global economy, especially in the U.S., Asia and Europe, may have an impact on our business and our financial condition if economic conditions do not improve. We sell our products through a global network of distributors and dealers who may have difficulty clearing elevated multi-brand stock, previously ordered in response to industry wide supply chain challenges, which in turn could slow new orders and affect our financial performance. If our customers were to experience prolonged slow growth or recession as a result of these conditions or otherwise, we could see a drop-in demand for our products and potentially difficulty in collecting accounts receivables.

  • Trade Restrictions - We engage in international manufacturing and sales which exposes us to trade restrictions and disruptions that could harm our business and competitive position. Most of our products are manufactured in China, and the U.S. administration has announced tariffs on certain products imported into the United States with China as the country of origin. While these tariffs have not had a significant impact on the shipment of our products to international markets as at June 30, 2026, we believe that the future imposition of, or significant increases in, the level of tariffs, custom duties, export quotas and other barriers and restrictions by the U.S. on China or other countries could disrupt our supply chain, increase the cost of our raw materials and therefore our pricing, and impose the burdens of compliance with foreign trade laws, any of which could potentially affect our bottom line and sales. While we are in continuous discussions with our manufacturers to ensure there are contingencies in place, we cannot assure you that we will not be adversely affected by changes in the trade laws of foreign jurisdictions where we sell and seek to sell our products.

  • Fuel Prices - Significant fluctuations in fuel prices could have both a positive and negative effect on our business and operations. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from international sales and significant fluctuations in world fuel prices could significantly increase the price of shipping or transporting our products which we may not be able to pass on to our customers. On the other hand, fluctuations in fuel prices lead to higher commuter costs which may encourage the increased use of motorcycles and bicycles as alternative modes of transportation and lead to an increase in the market for our protection products.

  • Product Liability Litigation - We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims arising from the claimed failure of our products to help prevent the types of personal injury or death against which they are designed to help protect. Therefore, we have acquired very costly product liability insurance worldwide. We have not experienced any material uninsured losses due to product liability claims, but it is possible that we could experience material losses in the future. After a two-week trial in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (Eastern) ending on April 17, 2014, a federal jury returned a defense verdict for the Company in the first Leatt-Brace® product liability lawsuit to be tried in the United States. The plaintiffs in that case had alleged that defective product design and failure to warn had caused a motocross rider to suffer multiple mid-thoracic spine fractures, causing immediate and permanent paraplegia, when he crashed at a relatively low speed on February 13, 2011. When the accident occurred, he was wearing a helmet and other safety gear from several different companies, including the Company's acclaimed Leatt-Brace®. The Company produced evidence at trial showing that his thoracic paraplegia was an unavoidable consequence of his fall, not the result of wearing a Leatt-Brace®, and that the neck brace likely saved his life (or saved him from quadriplegia) by preventing cervical spine injury. The Company had maintained from the onset that this and a small handful of other lawsuits are without merit and that it would vigorously defend itself in each case. In this case, the plaintiffs subsequently appealed the court's decision, and the parties reached an amicable settlement. Although we carry product liability insurance, a successful claim brought against us could significantly harm our business and financial condition and have an adverse impact on our ability to renew our product liability insurance or secure new coverage.

  • Protection of Intellectual Property - We believe that the continued success of our business is dependent on our intellectual property portfolio consisting of globally registered trademarks, design patents and utility patents related to the Leatt-Brace®. We believe that a loss of these rights would harm or cause a material disruption to our business and, our corporate strategy is to aggressively take legal action against any violators of our intellectual property rights, regardless of where they may be. From time to time, we have had to enforce our intellectual property rights through litigation, and we may be required to do so in the future. Such litigation may result in substantial costs and could divert resources and management attention from the operations of our business.

  • Fluctuations in Foreign Currencies - We are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and consolidated results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in foreign currency as we translate these currencies into U.S. dollars when we consolidate our financial results. While our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, a portion of our consolidated revenues are denominated in South African Rand, or ZAR, certain of our assets are denominated in ZAR, and our research and marketing operations in South Africa utilize South African labor sources. A decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to the ZAR could increase our cost of doing business in South Africa. If the ZAR depreciates against the U.S. Dollar, the value of our ZAR revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our U.S. Dollar financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk. Furthermore, since 70% of our sales are derived outside the U.S., where the U.S. dollar is not the primary currency, significant fluctuations in exchange rates such as the strengthening of the dollar versus our customers' local currency can adversely affect our ability to remain competitive in those areas.

  • Natural or Man-made Catastrophic Events - We are exposed to natural or man-made catastrophic events that may disrupt our business and may reduce consumer demand for our products. A disruption or failure of our systems or operations in the event of a natural disaster, health pandemic, such as the outbreak and global spread of COVID-19 or the coronavirus, or a man-made catastrophic event could cause delays in completing sales, continuing production, or performing other critical functions of our business, particularly if a catastrophic event occurred at our primary manufacturing locations or our distributor locations worldwide. Any of these events could severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations and, as a result, our operating results could be adversely affected. There may also be secondary impacts that are unforeseeable, such as impacts on our consumers and on consumer purchasing behavior, which could cause delays in new orders, delays in completing sales or even order cancellations. The continued mutation and spread of deadly viruses, economic headwinds caused by global quarantines, or the occurrence of any other catastrophic events, could have a negative impact on our sales revenue for the coming periods and beyond.
  • Impact of Global Conflict - We are exposed to global conflict, such as the ones in Ukraine and the Middle East, that may disrupt our business and reduce consumer demand for our products. A disruption of global shipping routes, the imposition of government sanctions, or other activities resulting from such conflicts could directly affect consumer demand for our products, cause delays in completing sales, shipping of our products, continuing production or performing other critical functions of our business, particularly if a conflict occurs at our primary manufacturing locations or our distributor locations worldwide. Furthermore, prolonged conflict may have unintended global consequences such as increased inflation and volatility in fuel and transportation costs. While we have conducted due diligence on our customers in Russia to ensure that they do not fall into any sanctioned categories, we have seen a delay in the receipt of receivables in our bank account from the distributors of our products in Russia caused by enhanced screening of Russian funds in compliance with global sanctions against Russia for the war in Ukraine. The prolonging, intensification or expansion of these conflicts into surrounding regions could have an adverse impact on our consumers and on consumer purchasing behavior, and result in delays of new orders and completing sales, order cancellations, or payment and shipping delays. We will continue to monitor these fluid situations and any adverse impact that they may have on the global economy in general and on our business operations and especially that of our customers, and we will develop contingencies as necessary to address any disruptions to our business operations as they arise.

  • Acquisition of New Business- In May 2026 we acquired Bike Care to develop, market and sell premium bike care products globally. Bike Care, located in Pozenan, Poland was acquired from its original shareholders for a nominal amount. We did not generate revenues from this business in the three months ended June 30, 2026, and incurred $2,976 of expenses, during that period. We plan to launch and ship GRITT, a new range of bike care products in the second half of 2026.

Revenues - We earn revenues from the sale of our protective gear comprising of neck braces, body armor, helmets and other products, parts and accessories both in the United States and abroad. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 were $16.39 million, a 1% increase, compared to $16.18 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. This increase in worldwide revenues is attributable to a $462,309 increase in body armor sales, and a $443,803 increase in helmet sales that were partially offset by a $530,016 decrease in other product, part and accessory sales and a $161,491 decrease in neck brace sales. Revenues generated from sales to our customers in the United States increased from $5.56 million to $6.15 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenues associated with international customers were $10.24 million and $10.62 million, or 62% and 66% of revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively

Consumer demand for Leatt products continued to show strong momentum and consumer direct sales continued to increase strongly increasing by 68% or $0.96 million during the second quarter of 2026. Although international ordering patterns continued to show promising trends and reflect strong sell-through, shipments consisting primarily of MOTO apparel, boots and helmets that were scheduled for shipping during the second quarter of 2026 were delayed due to global supply chain constraints, resulting in a decrease in sales to our global distributors of 6% or $0.65 million during the second quarter of 2026. Shipping to our global distributors has resumed and we continue to fulfill global orders. Although, dealer direct revenues decreased marginally by 2% or $0.09 million for the second quarter of 2026 due to the timing of domestic inventory replenishment, our investments in selling capabilities and dealer outreach programs continue to grow our dealer base and pre-ordering patterns are encouraging.

The following table sets forth our revenues by product line for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Three months ended June 30,
2026 % of Revenues 2025 % of Revenues
Neck braces $ 541,810 3% $ 703,301 5%
Body armor 8,749,179 53% 8,286,870 51%
Helmets 3,557,586 22% 3,113,783 19%
Other products, parts and accessories 3,542,369 22% 4,072,385 25%
$ 16,390,944 100% $ 16,176,339 100%

Sales of our flagship neck brace accounted for $0.54 million and $0.70 million, or 3% and 5% of our revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 23% decrease in neck brace revenues is primarily attributable to a 43% decrease in the volume of neck braces sold when compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Our body armor products are comprised of chest protectors, full upper body protectors, upper body protection vests, back protectors, knee braces, knee and elbow guards, off-road motorcycle boots and mountain biking shoes. Body armor sales accounted for $8.75 million and $8.29 million, or 53% and 51% of our revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 6% increase in body armor revenues was primarily the result of a 21% increase in revenues generated on the sale of our innovative MOTO and ADV boot range designed for offroad and adventure motorcycle riding.

Our helmet sales accounted for $3.56 million and $3.11 million or 22% and 19% of our revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 14% increase in helmet sales during the 2026 second quarter is primarily attributable to a 15% increase in revenues generated from the sale of offroad MOTO and ADV helmets sold during the second quarter of 2026 as global demand for these exceptional product categories continues to grow.

Our other products, parts and accessories are comprised of goggles, hydration bags and apparel items including jerseys, pants, shorts, jackets, bicycle components and aftermarket support items required primarily to replace worn or damaged parts through our global distribution network. Other products, parts and accessories sales accounted for $3.54 million and $4.07 million, or 22% and 25% of our revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 13% decrease in revenues from the sale of other products, parts and accessories during the 2026 second quarter was primarily due to a 20%decrease in revenues generated on the sale of MTB, ADV and MOTO apparel, that was partially offset by a 16% increase in revenues generated from the sales of bicycle components when compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit - Cost of revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $8.96 million and $9.29 million, respectively. Gross Profit for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $7.44 million and $6.89 million, respectively, or 45% and 43% of revenues, respectively. Our neck brace products continue to generate a higher gross profit margin than our other product categories. Although neck brace revenues accounted for 3% and 5% of our revenues for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, the 2% increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily due to improved margins achieved on domestic and international sales in line with increased demand for Leatt products. Additionally, shipping costs as a percentage of international distributor revenues improved as management continues to develop shipping and logistics efficiencies.

Product Royalty Income - Product royalty income is earned on sales to distributors that have royalty agreements in place, as well as on sales of licensed products by third parties that have licensing agreements in place. Product royalty income for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $135,115 and $48,306, respectively. The 180% increase in product royalty income is due to an increase in the sale of licensed products by licensees during the 2026 period.

Salaries and Wages - Salaries and wages for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $2.18 million and $1.85 million, respectively. The 18% increase in salaries and wages was primarily due to the employment of sales, marketing and brand management professionals globally as the Company continues to build a multi-channel selling organization and global consumer facing brand.

Commissions and Consulting Expense - During the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, commissions and consulting expenses were $219,661 and $187,434, respectively. The 17% increase in commissions and consulting expenses is primarily the result of an increase in commissions paid to employees and MTB external sales representatives in the United States in line with the increase in domestic selling activity when compared to the second quarter of 2025. Additionally, consulting costs relating to the implementation of efficient sales and income tax processes increased when compared to the 2025 second quarter.

Professional Fees - Professional fees consist of costs incurred for audit, tax and regulatory filings, as well as patent protection and product liability litigation expenses incurred as the Company continues to expand. Professional fees for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $212,003 and $155,345, respectively. The 36% increase in professional fees is primarily due to an increase in patent maintenance and litigation cost incurred as the Company continues to build a pipeline of innovative protective gear.

Advertising and Marketing - The Company places paid advertising in various motorsport and bicycle magazines and online, digital media and sponsors a number of events, professional teams and individuals to increase product and brand visibility globally. Advertising and marketing expenses for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $1.43 million and $1.15 million, respectively. The 24% increase in advertising and marketing expenses relates primarily to costs associated with the production and implementation of global marketing campaigns that are designed to increase demand for the Companies growing, innovative product categories and reach a much wider rider audience globally.

Office Lease and Expenses - Office lease and expenses for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $199,053 and $176,120, respectively. The 13% increase in office lease and expenses during the 2026 period is primarily due to the inclusion of consolidation warehousing costs incurred to facilitate consolidated global shipping during the 2026 period.

Research and Development Costs - These costs consist of the salaries of personnel who are directly involved in the research and development of innovative products, as well as the direct costs associated with developing these products. Research and development costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, increased to $664,839, from $616,795, during the same 2025 quarter. The 8% increase in research and development costs during the 2026 second quarter is primarily as a result of an increase in expenditures on product certification, homologation and development incurred as the Company continues to refine and build a pipeline of exceptional products.

Bad Debt Recovery - Bad debt recovery for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $80,543 and $31,155, respectively. The increase in bad debt recovery is the result of a decrease in amounts owing that were considered to be irrecoverable during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, when compared to the comparative 2025 period.

General and Administrative Expenses - General and administrative expenses consist of insurance, travel, merchant fees, telephone, office and computer supplies. General and administrative expenses for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $1.31 million and $1.10 million, respectively. The 19% increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to an increase in global travel expenditures incurred and increased product liability insurance premiums incurred in line with the increase in global sales during the 2026 period.

Depreciation Expense - Depreciation expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $284,244 and $332,606, respectively. The 15% decrease in depreciation during the 2026 second quarter is primarily due to the accelerated depreciation of long-lived intangible web assets in connection with the impairment and resultant useful life adjustment of these assets during the first quarter of 2026.

Total Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses increased by $880,245, to $6.42 million, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, or 16%, compared to $5.54 million in the 2025 period. This increase is primarily due to increases in salaries, advertising and marketing and general and administrative costs that were partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense and depreciation during the 2026 period.

Other Income - Other income for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $76,268 and $117,737, respectively. The 35% decrease in other income is primarily due to a decrease in interest earned during the second quarter of 2026, when compared to the 2025 second quarter.

Income taxes - Income taxes for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $319,810 and $378,921, respectively. The decrease in income taxes is primarily due to a decrease in the provision for income taxes in line with the decrease in net income when compared to the prior year period.

Net Income - The net income after income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was $0.91 million, compared to a net income after income taxes of $1.14 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. This 20% decrease in net income is primarily due to the increase in total operating expenses that were partially offset by the increase in gross profit and product royalty income discussed above.

Revenues - We earn revenues from the sale of our protective gear comprising of neck braces, body armor, helmets and other products, parts and accessories both in the United States and internationally. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $35.90 million, a 14% increase, compared to $31.54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This increase in worldwide revenue is attributable to a $2.18 million increase in body armor sales and a $2.43 million increase in helmet sales that were partially offset by a $0.15 million decrease in other products, parts and accessories sales and a $0.11 million decrease in neck brace sales. Revenues generated from sales to our customers in the United States increased from $9.15 million to $10.85 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenues associated with international customers were $25.05 million and $22.39 million, or 70% and 71% of revenues, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Consumer direct sales increased by 61% and dealer direct sales increased by 11% for the first six months of 2026 as consumer demand for our products continued to build and domestic sales momentum at the dealer level continued to improve. Despite some short term supply chain constraints towards the end of the second quarter, sales to our global distributors increased by 10%, when compared to the first six months of 2025, as international ordering patterns continued to reflect strong sell-through and our distributors continued to invest in our growing product categories.

The following table sets forth our revenues by product line for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Six months ended June 30,
2026 % of Revenues 2025 % of Revenues
Neck braces $ 1,270,858 4% $ 1,381,596 4%
Body armor 17,339,848 48% 15,157,346 48%
Helmets 8,948,113 25% 6,514,316 21%
Other products, parts and accessories 8,339,611 23% 8,490,945 27%
$ 35,898,430 100% $ 31,544,203 100%

Sales of our flagship neck brace accounted for $1.27 million and $1.38 million, or 4% and 4% of our revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Although, the volume of neck braces sold globally increased by 10% when compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2025, the 8% decrease in neck brace revenues is due to the sales mix of neck braces sold during the period ended June 30, 2025.

Our body armor products are comprised of chest protectors, full upper body protectors, upper body protection vests, back protectors, knee braces, knee and elbow guards, off-road motorcycle boots and mountain biking shoes. Body armor sales accounted for $17.34 million and $15.16 million, or 48% and 48% of our revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 14% increase in body armor revenues was primarily the result of a 19% increase in the volume of footwear, comprising of offroad MOTO and ADV motorcycle boots and mountain biking shoes, sold during the 2026 period.

Our Helmets accounted for $8.95 million and $6.51 million, or 25% and 21% of our revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 37% increase in helmet sales during the 2026 period is primarily attributable to a 28% increase in the sales volume of helmets designed for mountain biking, offroad motorcycle and adventure motorcycle riding, when compared to the first six months of 2025.

Our other products, parts and accessories are comprised of goggles, hydration bags and apparel items including jerseys, pants, shorts, jackets, bicycle components and aftermarket support items required primarily to replace worn or damaged parts through our global distribution network. Other products, parts and accessories sales accounted for $8.34 million and $8.49 million, or 23% and 27% of our revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 2% decrease in revenues from the sale of other products, parts and accessories is primarily due to a 7% decrease in the global sales volume of MOTO apparel during the six month period ending June 30, 2026 due to short term international supply chain constraints during second quarter. Global ordering patterns and demand for our apparel remain strong and shipments have resumed.

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit - Cost of revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $19.89 million and $17.93 million, respectively. Gross Profit for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $16.01 million and $13.61 million, respectively, or 45% and 43% of revenues respectively. Our neck brace products continue to generate a higher gross margin than our other product categories. Although neck brace revenues accounted for 4% and 4% of our revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, the 2% increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily due to an improvement in shipping costs as a percentage of domestic and international distributor revenues as management continues to improve global shipping and logistics efficiencies despite geo-political headwinds.

Product Royalty Income - Product royalty income is earned on sales to distributors that have royalty agreements in place, as well as on sales of licensed products by third parties that have licensing agreements in place. Product royalty income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $507,934 and $133,604, respectively. The 280% increase in product royalty income is due to an increase in the sale of licensed products by licensees during the 2026 period.

Salaries and Wages - Salaries and wages for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $4.32 million and $3.70 million, respectively. The 17% increase in salaries and wages during the 2026 period was primarily due to the employment of sales, marketing and brand management professionals globally as we continue to build a diversified multi-channel selling organization and global consumer facing brand.

Commissions and Consulting Expense - During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, commissions and consulting expenses were $455,454 and $345,156. This 32% increase in commissions and consulting expenses during the 2026 period is primarily due to an increase in commissions paid to sales professionals in the United States in line with the increase in domestic sales when compared to the first six months of 2025. Additionally, consulting expenses relating to sales and income tax processes increased during the six month period ending June, 30 2026.

Professional Fees - Professional fees consist of costs incurred for audit, tax and regulatory filings, as well as patent protection and product liability litigation expenses incurred as the Company continues to expand. Professional fees for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $502,495 and $515,396, respectively. This 3% decrease in professional fees is primarily due to a decrease in corporate legal fees that were partially offset by an increase in patent maintenance and litigation costs incurred during the 2026 period.

Advertising and Marketing - The Company places paid advertising in various motorsport magazines and online, digital media, and sponsors a number of events, teams and individuals to increase product and brand visibility. Advertising and marketing expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $2.49 million and $2.04 million, respectively. The 22% increase in advertising and marketing expenses is the result of costs associated with the production and implementation of targeted and coordinated global marketing campaigns that are designed to increase consumer demand for the Companies growing product categories and brand.

Office Lease and Expenses - Office lease and expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $439,768 and $345,296, respectively. The 27% increase in office lease and expenses during the 2026 period was primarily due to the inclusion of consolidation warehousing costs incurred to facilitate consolidated global shipping during the 2026 period.

Research and Development Costs - These costs for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026, increased to $1.46 million, from $1.28 million, during the same 2025 period. The 14% increase in research and development costs during the 2026 period is primarily due to increased product homologation, certification and development costs incurred as the Company continues to refine and grow its product categories and build a pipeline of innovative products.

Bad Debt Expense (Recovery) - Bad debt expense (recovery) for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $49,539 and ($94,659), respectively.

General and Administrative Expenses - General and administrative expenses consist of insurance, travel, merchant fees, telephone, office and computer supplies. General and administrative expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $2.52 million and $2.11 million, respectively. The 19% increase in general and administrative expenses during the 2026 period is primarily due to an increase in global travel expenditure associated with product development, sales and branding activities when compared to the period ending June 30, 2025. Additionally, product liability insurance premiums increased in line with increased global revenues.

Depreciation Expense - Depreciation Expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $798,860 and $659,614, respectively. This 21% increase in depreciation during the 2026 period is primarily due to the accelerated depreciation of long-lived intangible web assets in connection with the impairment and resultant useful life adjustment of these assets.

Total Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses increased by $2.13 million to $13.05 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, or 20%, compared to $10.91 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. This increase in total operating expenses is primarily due to increases in salaries, general and administrative costs that were partially offset by decreases in advertising and marketing costs and a decrease in bad debt expense during the 2026 period.

Other Income - Other income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $150,764 and $199,884, respectively. The 25% decrease in other income is primarily due to due to a decrease in interest earned during the 2026 period, when compared to the period ended June 30, 2025.

Income taxes - Income taxes for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $941,757 and $769,226, respectively.

The Company is currently meeting its working capital needs through cash on hand, a revolving line of credit with a bank, as well as internally generated cash from operations. Management believes that its current cash, cash equivalent and restricted cash balances, along with the net cash generated by operations are sufficient to meet its anticipated operating cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. There are currently no plans for any major capital expenditure in the next twelve months. Our long-term financing requirements depend on our growth strategy, which relates primarily to our desire to increase revenue both in the U.S. and abroad.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We have identified the following as the items that require the most significant judgment and often involve complex estimation: revenue recognition, estimating allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, leases and accounting for income taxes.

Revenue and Cost Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 "Revenues from Contracts with Customers". As such the Company has and will continue to review its performance obligations in terms of material customer contractual arrangements in order to verify that revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied on a periodic basis.

All manufacturing of Leatt products is performed by third party subcontractors that are predominately based in China. The Company's products are sold worldwide to a global network of distributors and dealers, and directly to consumers when there are no dealers or distributors in their geographic area or where consumers choose to purchase directly via the Company's e-commerce website (collectively the "customers").

Revenues from product sales are recognized when earned, net of applicable provisions for discounts and returns and allowances in the event of a product defect where no exchange of product is possible. Revenues are recognized when our performance obligations are satisfied as evidenced by transfer of control of promised goods to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Product royalty income, representing less than 1% of total revenues, is recorded as the underlying product sales occur, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements.

Our standard distributor payment terms range from pre-payment in full to sixty (60) days after shipment and subsequent sales of our products by distributors have no effect on the amount and timing of payments due to us, however, in limited instances, qualified distributors and dealers may be granted extended payment terms during selected order periods. In performing such evaluations, the Company utilizes historical experience, sales performance, and credit risk requirements. Furthermore, products purchased by distributors may not be returned to the Company in the event that any such distributor relationship is terminated.

Since the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) serves as the distributor of Leatt products in the United States, the Company records its revenue and related cost of revenue for its product sales in the United States upon shipment of the merchandise to the dealer or to the ultimate consumer when there is no dealer in the geographic area or the consumer chooses to purchase directly from the Company's e-commerce website and the sales order was received directly from, and paid by, the ultimate consumer. Since the Company (through its South African branch) serves as the distributor of Leatt products in South Africa, the Company records its revenue and related cost of revenue for its product sales in South Africa upon shipment of the merchandise from the branch to the dealer and upon shipment of products direct to end consumers, which have been sold through digital channels. The Company's standard terms and conditions of sale for non-consumer direct sales do not allow for product returns other than under warranty. Web-based direct sales permit products to be returned or exchanged within 30 days of the purchase date.

International sales (other than in the United States and South Africa) are generally drop-shipped directly from our consolidation warehouse or our third-party manufacturing partner to Company's international distributors. Revenue and related cost of revenue is recognized at the time of shipment from the manufacturer's port when the shipping terms are Free On Board ("FOB") shipping point, Cost and Freight ("CFR") or Cost and Insurance to named place ("CIP") as legal title and risk of loss to the product pass to the distributor. Sales to all customers (distributors, dealers and consumers) are generally final; however, in limited instances, product may be returned and exchanged due to product quality issues. Historically, returns due to product quality issues have not been material and there have been no distributor terminations that resulted in product returns. Cost of revenues also includes royalty fees associated with sales of Leatt-Brace products. Product royalty income is recorded as the underlying product sales occur, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements.

The Company reviews the reserves for customer returns at each reporting period and adjusts them to reflect data available at that time. To estimate reserves for returns, the Company estimates the expected returns and claims based on historical rates as well as events and circumstances that indicate changes to historical rates of product returns and claims. Historically, returns due to product quality issues have not been material and there have been no distributor terminations that resulted in product returns. Sales commissions are expensed when incurred, which is generally at the time of sale.

Shipping and handling activities associated with outbound freight, after control over a product has transferred to a customer, are accounted for as a fulfilment cost and are included in cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is recorded net of sales taxes, value added taxes, or similar taxes that are collected on behalf of local taxing authorities.

Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is recorded net of sales taxes, value added taxes, or similar taxes that are collected on behalf of local taxing authorities.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Accounts receivable consist of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. Credit is granted to distributors on an unsecured basis based on credit risk analysis procedures. We continuously monitor credit reports, collections, communication and payments from customers and maintain an allowance for credit losses based upon the expected credit losses determined utilizing historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. In determining the amount of the allowance, we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions. Accounts receivable balances that are still outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off as uncollectible. While such credit losses have historically been minimal, within our expectations and the provisions established, macro-economic conditions and customer financial positions are fluid, and we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have had in the past. A significant change in the liquidity or financial position of any of our significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the collectability of our accounts receivable and our future operating results. The allowance of short-term credit losses at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $249,782 and $328,292, respectively.

Inventory Valuation - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods. Shipping and handling costs are included in the cost of inventory. In assessing the inventory value, we make estimates and judgments regarding reserves required for product obsolescence, aging of inventory and other issues potentially affecting the saleable condition of products. In performing such evaluations, we utilize historical experience as well as current market information. The reserve for obsolescence at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $597,835 and $548,428, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews its intangible and tangible long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the expected future net cash flows to be generated by the assets. Based on these reviews, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $0 and $234,224 to intangible capitalized website costs as at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Operating Leases - The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. Operating leases are included in the right-of-use assets ("ROU''), and lease liability obligations are included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset of the lease term and lease liability obligations represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and lease direct costs. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Income Taxes - As part of the process of preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to estimate our income tax provision (benefit) in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating our current income tax provision (benefit) together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within our consolidated balance sheets. We regularly evaluate our ability to recover the reported amount of our deferred income taxes considering several factors, including our estimate of the likelihood of the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years during the period over which the temporary differences reverse.
