NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS In 1987, CirTran Corporation was incorporated in Nevada under the name Vermillion Ventures, Inc., for the purpose of acquiring other operating corporate entities. We were largely inactive until July 1, 2000, when our wholly owned subsidiary, CirTran Corporation (Utah), acquired substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of Circuit Technology, Inc., founded by our president, Iehab Hawatmeh. We, together with our majority-owned subsidiaries, manufacture, distribute, and sell condoms, electronic tobacco products, cigars, energy drinks, water beverages, and related merchandise, all using the HUSTLER® brand name. Since entering our 2019 five-year manufacturing and distribution agreement with an unrelated party, our efforts have been devoted to phase one of our development of all HUSTLER®-branded products, which led us to generating revenue during 2020 for the first time in several years. NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These financial statements and the notes attached hereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, as of September 30, 2023, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the nine months then ended have been included. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2023. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and our wholly owned subsidiaries: CirTran Products Corp., LBC Products, Inc., and CirTran Asia, Inc. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates In preparing the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentrations of Credit Risk We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. At times, such deposits may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurable limit. 7 Cash Equivalents We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Revenue Recognition We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , for revenue recognition. Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements. We generate revenue by providing product design services and through the sales of tangible product. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. We determine the transaction price associated with each deliverable based on the unique contract with the customer, which is a stand-alone contract that we retain the right to accept or reject. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $ 538,228 and $ 402,723 , respectively, related to the performance obligations under product development service agreements with customers. These contracts are long term in nature and revenue is recognized at certain milestone intervals upon our delivery and customer acceptance of work product related to those milestones: namely, product design, packaging, branding display, and prototypes. There were no costs to obtain the contracts identified, and therefore, no asset has been recorded for customer acquisition costs. We have not recognized impairment losses related to the receivables from these contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Additionally, we recognized revenues of $ 900,204 and $ 1,292,984 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the delivery of products to our customers. Each delivery is based on the unique contract with the customer, which is a stand-alone contract that we retain the right to accept or reject. Upon acceptance, we oblige delivery of such product to the customer at an agreed-upon place, time, and price. We recognize revenue under the unique contract upon fulfillment of our performance obligations therein, typically limited to the delivery of product. The Company also recognizes revenue from advanced royalty payments per the terms in its Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement with one if its distributors. The royalty to be received is calculated based on 8 % of gross sales, with an annual minimum royalty paid upfront per calendar year for the term of the contract. There is a non-refundable $ 350,000 Minimum Royalty for FY2023 and a $ 150,000 annual operational fee (marketing and support). The Company recognizes the minimum royalty at the time of receipt. The annual $ 150,000 fee is recognized over one year. Accounts Receivable Revenues that have been recognized but not yet received are recorded as accounts receivable. Losses on receivables will be recognized when it is more likely than not that a receivable will not be collected. An allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts will be recognized to reduce the amount receivable to its net realizable value when needed. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $ 39,438 . Investment in Securities Our cost-method investment consists of an investment in a private digital multi-media technology company that totaled $ 300,000 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Because we owned less than 20 % of that company’s stock as of each date, and no significant influence or control exists, the investment is accounted for using the cost method. We evaluated the investment for impairment and determined there was none during the periods presented. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Cost on manufactured inventories includes labor, material, and overhead. Overhead cost is based on indirect costs allocated to cost of sales, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods inventory. Indirect overhead costs have been charged to cost of sales or capitalized as inventory, based on management’s estimate of the benefit of indirect manufacturing costs to the manufacturing process. When there is evidence that the inventory’s value is less than original cost, the inventory is reduced to market value. We determine market value on current resale amounts and whether technological obsolescence exists. We will seek agreements with manufacturing customers that require them to purchase their inventory items in the event they cancel their business with us. 8 From time to time, we will place deposits on inventory to be delivered in the future. These deposits are carried as a separate balance sheet component and total $ 65,440 (non-related-party) and $ 92,175 (related-party) as of September 30, 2023 and $ 40,440 (non-related-party) and $ 417,633 (related-party) as of December 31, 2022. On most of tobacco related products, the Company pays in advance for Federal Excise Taxes and State Excise Taxes prior to receiving product. The Company accrues those taxes on its balance sheet and expenses them per-unit basis as sold. Inventory balances consisted of the following: SCHEDULE OF INVENTORY September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Finished goods $ 789,007 $ 787,671 Raw materials 85,251 28,343 Total $ 874,258 $ 816,014 Fair Value of Financial Instruments ASC 820-10-15, Fair Value Measurement-Overall-Scope and Scope Exceptions , defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures surrounding fair value calculations. ASC 820-10-15 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows: Level 1 —Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 —Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 —Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Accounts payable and related-party payables have fair values that approximate the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative liabilities are measured using level 3 inputs. SCHEDULE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES CARRIED AT FAIR VALUED MEASURED ON RECURRING BASIS Total Fair Value at September 30, 2023 Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) Derivative liabilities $ 1,024,075 $ — $ — $ 1,024,075 Total Fair Value at December 31, 2022 Quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) Derivative liabilities $ 1,004,837 $ — $ — $ 1,004,837 9 Loss per Share Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would include common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential when applicable. There were approximately 216,834,000 and 106,038,000 potentially issuable shares from the conversions of convertible debentures outstanding that were excluded in dilutive outstanding shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, due to the anti-dilutive effect these would have on net loss per share. We do not currently have adequate authorized but unissued shares to satisfy our obligations should all instruments eligible to convert to common stock be exercised. We are not currently contemplating an increase in our authorized shares but may do so in the future. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on our financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. NOTE 3 — GOING CONCERN The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. We had a working capital deficiency of $ 40,588,828 as of September 30, 2023, and a net loss from continuing operations of $ 814,303 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $ 80,234,638 . These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish our business plan and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. In the coming year, our foreseeable cash requirements will relate to development of business operations and associated expenses. We may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital. Historically, we have mainly relied upon shareholder loans and advances to finance operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital by retaining net earnings, if any, or through future public or private offerings of our stock or loans from private investors, although we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain such financing. Our failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon our shareholders and us. NOTE 4 — PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT We incur certain costs associated with the design and development of molds and dies for our contract-manufacturing segment. These costs are held as deposits on the balance sheet until the molds or dies are finished and ready for use. At that point, the costs are included as part of production equipment in property and equipment and are amortized over their useful lives. We hold title to all molds and dies used in the manufacture of products. Property and equipment and estimated service lives consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND ESTIMATED SERVICE LIVES September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Useful Life (years) Furniture and office equipment $ 12,212 $ 3,798 5 - 10 Vehicles 18,672 18,672 3 - 7 Total 30,884 22,470 Less: accumulated depreciation ( 10,712 ) ( 7,452 ) Property and equipment, net $ 20,172 $ 15,018 We recorded $ 3,260 and $ 2,857 of depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. 10 NOTE 5 — RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS In 2007, we issued a 10 % promissory note to a family member of our president in exchange for $ 300,000 . The note was due on demand after May 2008 . There were no repayments made during the periods presented. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the principal amount owing on the note was $ 151,833 and $ 151,833 , respectively. No demand for payment has been made. On March 31, 2008, we issued to this same family member, along with two other company shareholders, promissory notes totaling $ 315,000 ($ 105,000 each). Under the terms of these three $ 105,000 notes, we received total proceeds of $ 300,000 and agreed to repay the amount received plus a 5 % borrowing fee. The notes were due April 30, 2008, after which they were due on demand, with interest accruing at 12 % per annum. We made no payments towards the outstanding notes during the periods presented. The principal balance owing on the notes as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $ 72,466 and $ 72,466 , respectively. No demand for payment has been made. There were $ 21,882 and $ 21,882 of short-term advances due to related parties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We have agreed to issue stock options to Iehab Hawatmeh, our president, as compensation for services provided as our chief executive officer. The terms of his employment agreement require us to grant options to purchase 6,000 shares of our stock each year, with an exercise price of $ 0.10 . Mr. Hawatmeh held outstanding options to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note 13–Stock Options and Warrants. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we owed our president a total of $ 433,379 and $ 433,379 , respectively, in unsecured advances. The advances and short-term bridge loans were approved by our board of directors under a 5 % borrowing fee. The borrowing fees were waived by our president on these loans. These amounts are included in our liabilities from discontinued operations. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we owed a total of $ 0 and $ 13,740 , respectively, to a related party through trade payables incurred in the normal course of business. These amounts are shown as a separate related-party payable on the balance sheet as of each reporting date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net decrease in deposits with a related-party inventory supplier totaling $ 325,458 . The related party is an entity controlled by our chief executive officer. All transactions were at a 2 % markup over the related-party’s cost paid for inventory in arm’s-length transactions. Total inventory purchases from the related party were $ 672,614 and $ 744,709 during the periods ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. NOTE 6 — OTHER ACCRUED LIABILITIES Accrued tax liabilities consist of delinquent payroll taxes, interest, and penalties owed by us to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax entities. Accrued liabilities consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF ACCRUED LIABILITIES September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Tax liabilities $ 550,972 $ 548,811 Other 1,686,951 1,530,441 Total $ 2,237,923 $ 2,079,252 Other accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, include a non-interest-bearing payable totaling $ 45,000 and $ 45,000 , respectively, that is due on demand and customer deposits totaling $ 1,653,116 and $ 1,437,361 , respectively. 11 Accrued payroll and compensation liabilities consist of the following: SCHEDULE OF ACCRUED PAYROLL AND COMPENSATION LIABILITIES September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Director fees $ 140,000 $ 135,000 Bonus expenses 129,358 121,858 Commissions 2,148 2,148 Consulting 446,822 500,322 Administrative payroll 4,309,965 4,035,508 Total $ 5,028,293 $ 4,794,836 NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation and Claims Various vendors, service providers, and others have asserted legal claims in previous years. These creditors generally are not actively seeking collection of amounts due to them, and we have determined that the probability of realizing any loss on these claims is remote and will seek to compromise and settle at a deep discount any of such claims that are asserted for collection. These amounts are included in our current liabilities, except where we believe collection or enforcement of the judgments is barred by the applicable statute of limitations, in which case the liabilities have been eliminated. We have not accrued any liability for claims or judgments that we have determined to be barred by the applicable statute of limitations, which generally is eight years for judgments in Utah.

Our affiliate, Play Beverages, LLC, filed suit against Playboy Enterprises, Inc., in Cook County, Illinois, Circuit Court in October 2012 asserting numerous claims, including breach of contract and tortious interference. Playboy responded with a counterclaim of breach of contract and trademark infringement. After proceedings in October 2016, the court awarded a judgment of $ 6.6 million to Playboy against Play Beverages and CirTran Beverage Corp., our subsidiary. The court denied our motion for a new trial and awarded Playboy treble patent infringement damages and attorney’s fees. We filed a notice of appeal in July 2017 and again in March 2018. Playboy has initiated collection efforts but has recovered no funds. In September 2018, the appellate court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court. We have accrued $ 17,205,599 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, related to this judgment, which is included in liabilities in discontinued operations. Delinquent Payroll Taxes, Interest, and Penalties In November 2004, the IRS accepted our amended offer in compromise (the “Offer”) to settle delinquent payroll taxes, interest, and penalties, which required us to pay $ 500,000 , remain current in our payment of taxes for five years , and forego claiming any net operating losses for the years 2001 through 2015 or until we paid taxes on future profits in an amount equal to the taxes of $ 1,455,767 waived by the Offer. In June 2013, we entered into a partial installment agreement to pay $ 768,526 in unpaid 2009 payroll taxes, which required us to pay the IRS 5 % of cash deposits. The monthly payments were to continue until the account balances were paid in full or until the collection statute of limitation expired on October 6, 2020. We are currently in communication with the IRS regarding the statute of limitations on this settlement and appropriate next steps. The amounts of $ 517,684 and $ 517,684 were due as September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. 12 Employment Agreements We engage Iehab Hawatmeh, our president and chief executive officer, through an employment agreement entered in August 2009 and amended in September 2017. In July 2017, Mr. Hawatmeh had resigned all positions with us to pursue other business activities, thereby effectively terminating the agreement. However, the amendment to his employment agreement in September 2017 reinstated Mr. Hawatmeh to his previous positions, with a salary in an amount to be determined. Among other things, the reinstated employment agreement: (a) grants options to purchase a minimum of 6,000 shares of our stock each year, with an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock as of the grant date, for the maximum term allowed under our stock option plan; (b) provides for health insurance coverage, cell phone, car allowance, life insurance, and director and officer liability insurance, as well as any other bonus approved by our board; and (c) includes additional incentive compensation as follows: (i) a quarterly bonus equal to 5 % of our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the applicable quarter; (ii) bonuses equal to 1 % of the net purchase price of any acquisitions we complete that are directly generated and arranged by Mr. Hawatmeh; and (iii) an annual bonus (payable quarterly) equal to 1 % of our gross sales of all products, net of returns and allowances. On January 1, 2020, we resumed accruing wages for our chief executive officer. A total of $ 258,750 and $ 345,000 was accrued during the period ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We also have an oral agreement with our other director that requires us to issue options to purchase 2,000 shares of our common stock each year.

Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. We have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives for convertible debentures and associated warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation as of September 30, 2023, using the following assumptions: SCHEDULE OF DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES AT FAIR VALUE Volatility 104.8 % - 120.7 % Risk-free rates 4.77 % - 5.06 % Stock price $ 0.022 Remaining life 0.25 - 3.58 years The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each quarter, which resulted in a loss of $ 19,238 and $ 35,105 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair market value of the derivatives aggregated $ 1,024,075 and $ 1,004,837 , respectively.

During the same period we granted those same employees 8,000 new options to purchase shares of common stock.
