**Item 1. Business**
**Overview**
****
VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (the Company,
VisionWave, we, us, or our) is a Delaware corporation formed on March 20, 2024,
with principal executive offices located at 300 Delaware Avenue, Suite 210 #301, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. Our common stock trades on
The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol VWAV, and our publicly traded warrants trade under the symbol VWAVW.
We maintain a website at www.visionwave.tech, where additional information about our business can be found. The information contained
on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this Annual Report on Form
10-K.
We are a technology company focused on the development
and commercialization of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous solutions for multi-domain operations across
air, ground, and sea environments. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, VisionWave Technologies Inc. (a Nevada corporation, VisionWave
Technologies), we design, prototype, and deploy technologies including high-resolution radars, advanced vision systems, radio frequency
(RF) sensing innovations, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), remote
weapon stations (RWS), and active protection systems (APS) for the defense industry. Our solutions target
military, homeland security, and industrial applications, emphasizing real-time threat detection, autonomous response, and modular integration
to enhance operational efficiency and reduce risk in contested environments.
Our proprietary AI engine (U.S. trademark application
pending) serves as the core autonomy layer, enabling embedded, edge-based decision-making with low-latency sensor fusion, perception,
and predictive control. This technology powers our product lines, which are at various stages of prototype development, pilot testing,
and commercialization readiness. Products are designed to be ready for deployment, with manufacturing and delivery upon
customer orders, supplemented by non-recurring engineering (NRE) efforts for customizations such as payload configurations,
colors, or mission-specific adaptations. We generate revenue through direct product sales, technology licensing to defense contractors
and governments, strategic alliances for co-development, and joint ventures for large-scale manufacturing and deployment.
VisionWave was established through a business combination
(the Business Combination) with Bannix Acquisition Corp. (Bannix), a special purpose acquisition company,
consummated on July 14, 2025, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement dated September 6, 2024. Prior to the
Business Combination, Bannix was a blank-check company incorporated on January 21, 2021. In exchange, each share of VisionWave Technologies
was converted into 4,041 shares of our common stock, resulting in the issuance of approximately 11,000,000 shares for 2,722 shares of
VisionWave Technologies outstanding immediately prior to closing. Following the Business Combination, we became a public company with
access to capital markets to fund research and development (R&D), pilot programs, and market expansion.
**Industry Overview**
****
The global defense industry is supported by sustained
government demand for modernization, readiness, and replenishment, with increasing emphasis on uncrewed systems and autonomy-enabled capabilities.
Spending priorities include integrated air and missile defense, precision munitions, C4ISR, and the development and fielding of uncrewed
platforms across air and ground domains. Regulatory regimesincluding export controls and evolving international norms related to
autonomous weapon systemsmay affect product development, international sales, and supply chain planning.
**Our Solutions and Technologies**
****
Our portfolio comprises nine interconnected product
lines, progressing from proof-of-concept to production-ready prototypes, with several undergoing client trials and demonstrations. These
solutions leverage our EI AI engine for real-time, edge-based processing in GPS-denied or contested environments, integrating proprietary
algorithms for radio wave analysis, neuromorphic vision, and 2D/3D RF imaging. Development is conducted in-house, without reliance on
open-source models, and focuses on modularity for seamless integration with existing platforms.

the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Solar Drone (the
Solar Drone Acquisition) from Blade in consideration for the issuance by the
Company to Blade (or its designee(s)) of 1,800,000 shares of the Companys common stock,
$0.01 par value per share (the Buyer Shares), and, if the average daily volume-weighted
average price (VWAP) of the Companys common stock for the five Trading
Day period immediately preceding the date of effectiveness of the registration statement
registering the resale of the Buyer Shares is less than $12.00 per share, Pre-Funded Common
Stock Purchase Warrants (the Pre-Funded Warrants) to purchase a number of additional
shares of the Companys common stock (the Warrant Shares) equivalent
to the difference between $21,600,000 and the aggregate value of the Buyer Shares based on
such VWAP, such that the aggregate consideration has a value of $21,600,000. | |
|
| Product

**Customers and Markets**
****
Our target customers include U.S. and allied defense
contractors, government agencies (e.g., U.S. Army, NATO members, Ministries of Defense in Israel and India), homeland security organizations,
and industrial clients in surveillance and inspection. Revenue is derived from pilot orders, NRE fees, product sales, and licensing. In
2025, 100% of limited revenue came from U.S.-based pilots, with no single customer exceeding 50% due to our early-stage diversification
efforts.
We serve global markets, with a focus on high-growth
regions: North America (U.S. Army programs and expos); Middle East (UAE and Israel border security); and Asia-Pacific (Indias modernization
initiatives). International sales require compliance with export controls, and we anticipate 60% of future revenue from non-U.S. sources,
particularly India.
3
**Competition**
****
The defense technology sector is highly competitive,
characterized by rapid innovation in AI, drones, and sensing technologies. We compete with established primes possessing greater resources,
established relationships, and scale, as well as emerging players in autonomous systems. Our differentiation stems from proprietary EI
integration, cost-effective modularity, and partnerships that mitigate entry barriers. However, shifts in drone/AI landscapes could erode
our position without continuous R&D investment.
**Regulation**
****
Our operations are governed by U.S. securities laws,
Nasdaq listing standards (e.g., independent board majority, audit/compensation committees per Rule 10A-3), and defense-specific regulations
including International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and evolving AI/ethical standards. We are not an investment company
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as less than 40% of assets are in securities. Cryptocurrency activities require anti-money laundering
(AML)/know-your-customer (KYC) compliance and may incur a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases. No material
violations occurred in 2025, with compliance costs of $450,000.
**Human Capital**
****
Our team comprises 12 employees and consultants as of September 30, 2025, with
70% in technical R&D roles. Key executives include Interim CEO and Executive Chairman Douglas Davis, CTO Danny Rittman, CFO Erik Klinger,
CRO Elad Shoval, COO David Allon, and Senior Engineer Jaz Williman. We lack key man insurance and have no family relationships among officers.
Retention strategies include equity incentives and consulting agreements.
**Available Information**
Our Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current
Reports on Form 8-K, and any amendment to these reports are filed with the SEC. Such reports and other information filed by us with the
SEC are available free of charge on our website at *investors.authid.ai* as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically
file such material with, or furnish it to, the SEC. The SEC maintains an internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements
and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at *www.sec.gov*. The information contained on the
websites referenced in this Form 10-K is not incorporated by reference into this filing.
**Item 1A. Risk Factors**
**Risks Relating to Our Operations**
**Failure to Redeem Public Shares as Required
by Bannix Acquisition Corp.s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation May Subject Us to Legal, Regulatory, and Reputational
Risks**
Bannix Acquisition Corp.s amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, in effect from March 10, 2025, through the consummation of the Business Combination on July 14, 2025, required
that if an initial business combination was not completed by June 14, 2025, Bannix Acquisition Corp. would redeem all public offering
shares no later than June 27, 2025 (ten business days thereafter). However, Bannix Acquisition Corp. did not redeem the remaining public
offering shares as required, and the Business Combination was subsequently consummated on July 14, 2025. This failure to redeem was inconsistent
with disclosures in the prospectus for Bannix Acquisition Corp.s initial public offering, filed on September 14, 2021, and the
combined prospectus and proxy statement for the Business Combination, which stated that if an initial business combination was not completed
by the applicable deadline, Bannix Acquisition Corp. would cease operations except for winding up, redeem all public shares, and liquidate
and dissolve, subject to applicable law.
4
This non-compliance may expose the Company to significant
risks, including:
|
|
|
Potential Stockholder Litigation: Stockholders may initiate lawsuits alleging breaches of fiduciary duties by our directors or officers or violations of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Such litigation could result in substantial costs, divert managements attention, and lead to monetary damages or other remedies that could adversely affect our financial condition and operations. | |
|
|
|
Regulatory Scrutiny or Enforcement Actions: The failure to redeem public shares as required may attract scrutiny or enforcement actions from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or other regulatory authorities. Such actions could result in fines, penalties, or other sanctions, which could materially impact our financial position and ability to operate as a public company. | |
|
|
|
Reputational Harm: The failure to adhere to the terms of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and prior disclosures may damage our reputation with investors, analysts, and other stakeholders. This could impair our ability to attract investment, form strategic partnerships, or maintain confidence in our management and governance practices. | |
|
|

Impact on Nasdaq Listing: Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol VWAV. Non-compliance with our governing documents or prior disclosures could jeopardize our ability to maintain our listing if Nasdaq determines that such actions reflect adversely on our governance or compliance with listing standards. Delisting could significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of our securities, depress our stock price, and limit our access to capital markets. | |
|
|
|
Capital Market Access: The perceived or actual failure to comply with our obligations may reduce investor confidence, making it more difficult or costly to raise capital through equity or debt offerings in the future. This could limit our ability to fund operations, pursue growth opportunities, or meet our financial obligations, including those under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) or Convertible Notes. | |
These risks could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations, and stock price. While we believe the consummation of the Business Combination
aligns with our strategic objectives, there can be no assurance that these risks will not materialize or that we will successfully mitigate
their impact.
**Risks Related to Our Business and Industry**
**
**VisionWave is an early-stage company. If we
cannot raise sufficient funds, we will not succeed.**
VisionWave is a startup and VisionWave Technologies,
our wholly owned subsidiary, was founded in March 2024. There is no assurance that VisionWave will ever be profitable or generate sufficient
revenue to pay dividends to the holders of its securities. VisionWave does not believe it will be able to generate revenues without successfully
developing its technology, which involves substantial risk. As a result, VisionWave is dependent upon the proceeds of additional capital
to continue the testing and development and other operations. VisionWaves business will require significant additional capital
infusions. If planned operating levels are changed, higher operating costs or working capital requirements encountered, lower sales revenue
received, if any, or more time is needed to implement the plan, more funds than currently anticipated may be required. Additional difficulties
may be encountered during this early stage of development, such as unanticipated problems relating to development, testing, vendor manufacturing
costs, production and assembly, and the competitive and regulatory environments in which VisionWave operates. If additional capital is
not available when required, if at all, or is not available on acceptable terms, VisionWave may be forced to modify or abandon its business
plan, which may result in investors losing their investments.
**The development and production development period
for the drones and imaging technology will be lengthy.**
Even if it meets the development and production development
schedule, VisionWave does not expect to commence selling its products commercially including the drones and imaging technology (the VisionWave
Products) until January 2026 at the earliest. Further, the highly specialized nature of VisionWaves products and its assimilated
artificial intelligence (AI) technology poses risks of unforeseen technical challenges that could delay or impede product development,
5
commercialization, or deployment. The use of AI and advanced detection systems in defense applications is subject to evolving regulatory
requirements and compliance standards. Changes in these regulations could impact VisionWaves ability to commercialize its products.
As a result, the receipt of significant cash receipts from customer deposits and revenue, if any, is not anticipated until around that
time and may occur later than projected. The VisionWave depends on receiving large amounts of capital and other financing to complete
its development work, with no assurance that VisionWave will be successful in completing its development work or becoming profitable.
**VisionWave will face significant market competition.**
VisionWave Products potentially competes with a variety
of drones and software packages in the United States and abroad. Further, VisionWave could face competition from competitors of whom VisionWave
is not aware that have developed or are developing technologies that will offer alternatives to VisionWave Products. Many existing potential
competitors are well-established, have or may have longer-standing relationships with customers and potential business partners, have
or may have greater name recognition, and have or may have access to significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources.
**Scaling up manufacturing will be a challenge
and any issues faced in such efforts may negatively impact our results of operations.**
Drone technology as well as the related operational
software technology in general is changing rapidly. There is significant development and investment into each of these areas being made
today. Such rapidly changing technology conditions may adversely affect our ability to continuously remain a market leader, provide superior
product performance, and an outstanding customer experience. If we are unable to control the cost of development, cost of manufacturing,
and cost of operations, we may be substantially affected. If we are unable to maintain substantially lower cost of manufacturing, developing,
design, distributing, and maintaining our products, we may incur significant cost increases which can be material to the operation of
our business. We have made, and will continue to make, substantial investments into the development of the VisionWave Products, such investments
may have unforeseen costs that we have been unable to accurately predict, which may significantly impact our ability to execute our business
as planned. We will face significant costs in development and purchasing of materials required to build the VisionWave Products through
external third parties. These purchases are subject to conditions outside of our control and as such, these conditions may substantially
affect our business, product, brand, operational, and financial goals.
**We rely on single suppliers and international
suppliers for certain items used in our manufacturing.**
VisionWave, when production commences of the VisionWave
Products, will use raw materials, components, and sub-assemblies to manufacture its drones that are sourced from various vendors, including
those in countries outside the U.S. Components are expected to be supplied from vendors in China. Items sourced internationally potentially
carry increased risk to the business, including higher shipping costs, uncertain tariff and tax structures, longer lead times, language
barriers, potential compliance and quality issues, and political instability. Additionally, once we commence manufacturing, although we
will attempt to mitigate this risk, we may in certain circumstances rely on a single supplier and manufacturer which will pose risks of
shortages, price increases, changes, delay and other issues that could disrupt and adversely affect our business. If any of these companies
ceases supplying and/or serving us, we would have to find and qualify alternate suppliers. Additionally, if there are general supply chain
disruptions due to global economic events, we may not be able to produce the VisionWave Products if the raw materials, components, and
sub-assemblies needed are not available to us.
**Operations could be adversely affected by interruptions
of production that are beyond our control.**
We intend to manufacture the VisionWave Products using
systems, components and parts developed and manufactured by third-party suppliers. Our eventual manufacturing could be affected by interruptions
of production at such suppliers. Such suppliers may be subject to additional risks such as financial problems that limit their ability
to conduct their operations. If any of these third parties experience difficulties, it may have a direct negative impact on VisionWave.
6
**We depend on key personnel.**
Our future success depends on the efforts of key personnel, including Douglas
Davis, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Chairman, and the balance of our senior executive team. We do not currently
carry any key man life insurance on our key personnel or senior executive team. However, the Company may obtain such insurance at some
point after closing of the Business Combination. Regardless of such insurance, the loss of services of any of these or other key personnel
may have an adverse effect on VisionWave. There can be no assurance that VisionWave will be successful in attracting and retaining the
personnel VisionWave requires to develop and market the proposed VisionWave Products.
**We will require intellectual property protection
and may be subject to the intellectual property claims of others.**
Our intellectual property consists of six granted
patents. In addition, VisionWaves intellectual property relies on licenses to three patents. VisionWave intends to seek copyright
and patent protection for these items; however, there is no guarantee that such the VisionWave will be successful in obtaining such protection.
If we fail to successfully enforce our proprietary technology or otherwise maintain the proprietary nature of the intellectual property
used in the VisionWave Products, our competitive position could suffer. Furthermore, VisionWaves competitive advantage relies heavily
on its proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms. Any failure to adequately protect its intellectual property could significantly
impact the VisionWaves business and market position. Disputes or termination of licensing agreements could adversely affect its
business. Notwithstanding VisionWaves efforts to protect our intellectual property, our competitors may independently develop similar
or alternative technologies or products that are equal to or superior to VisionWaves Products without infringing on any of VisionWaves
intellectual property rights or design around our proprietary technologies. There is no guarantee that the USPTO will issue patents to
VisionWave or that any court will rulein VisionWaves favor in the event of a dispute related to its intellectual property.
In the absence of further patent protection, it may be more difficult for VisionWave to achieve commercial production of the VisionWave
Products.
C**onfidentiality agreements may not adequately
prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information.**
We anticipate that a substantial amount of our processes
and technologies will be protected by trade secret laws. To protect these technologies and processes, we intend to rely in part on confidentiality
agreements with our employees, licensees, independent contractors and other advisors. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure
of confidential information, including trade secrets, and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of
confidential information. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases,
we could not assert any trade secret rights against such parties. To the extent that our employees, contractors or other third parties
with which we do business use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related
or resulting know-how and inventions. Laws regarding trade secret rights in certain markets in which we operate may afford little or no
protection to our trade secrets. The loss of trade secret protection could make it easier for third parties to compete with our products
and related future products and services by copying functionality, among other things. In addition, any changes in, or unexpected interpretations
of, the trade secret and other intellectual property laws in any country in which we operate may compromise our ability to enforce our
trade secret and intellectual property rights. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope
of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our business, revenue, reputation
and competitive position.
**Risks Related to Our Financing with YA II**
**
**Substantial blocks of our common stock may be
sold into the market as a result of the shares sold to YA II under the SEPA, which may cause the price of our common stock to decline.**
The price of our common stock could decline if there
are substantial sales of shares of our common stock, if there is a large number of shares of our common stock available for sale, or if
there is the perception that these sales could occur.
7
On July 25, 2025, we entered into the SEPA with YA
II. Under the SEPA, we agreed to issue and sell to YA II, from time to time, and YA II agreed to purchase from us, up to $50.0 million
of our common stock. We shall not affect any sales under the SEPA and YA II shall not have any obligation to purchase shares of common
stock under the SEPA to the extent that after giving effect to such purchase and sale YA II would exceed the Ownership Limitation or the
Exchange Cap. Thus, we may not have access to the right to sell the full $50.0 million of shares of common stock to YA II. In connection
with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance us the Pre-Paid Advance which shall be evidenced
by the Convertible Notes to be issued to YA II at a purchase price equal to 94.0% of the principal amount of each Pre-Paid Advance. Under
the SEPA, we received $3.0 million in pre-paid advances on July 25, 2025, and $2.0 million on September 11, 2025, in the form of convertible
promissory notes (the Notes). The purchase price for each Convertible Note representing a Pre-Paid Advance is 94.0% of the
principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Convertible Note at an annual rate equal
to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date for each Convertible
Note will be 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. YA II may convert the Convertible Notes into shares
of our common stock at the Conversion Price, which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than the Floor Price. YA II, in its sole
discretion and providing that there is a balance remaining outstanding under the Convertible Notes, may deliver a notice under the SEPA
requiring an Investor Advance. YA II, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Investor Advance, provided that the number
of shares issued does not cause YA II to exceed the Ownership Limitation or does not exceed the Exchange Cap. As a result of an Investor
Advance, the amounts payable under the Convertible Notes will be offset by such amount subject to each Investor Advance.
Any issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to
this facility will dilute the percentage ownership of stockholders and may dilute the per share projected earnings (if any) or book value
of our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or other issuances of shares of
our common stock, or the perception that these sales or issuances could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline
and may make it more difficult for you to sell your shares at a time and price that you deem appropriate.
**It is not possible to predict the actual number
of shares we will sell under the SEPA to YA II at any one time or in total, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales.**
We generally have the right to control the timing
and amount of any sales of our shares of common stock to YA II under the SEPA. Sales of our common stock, if any, to YA II under the SEPA
will depend upon market conditions and other factors. We may ultimately decide to sell to YA II all, some or none of the shares of our
common stock that may be available for us to sell to YA II pursuant to the SEPA. In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition
set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance us the Pre-Paid Advance which shall be evidenced by the Convertible Notes to be issued
to YA II at a purchase price equal to 94.0% of the principal amount of each Pre-Paid Advance. Under the SEPA, we received $3.0 million
in pre-paid advances on July 25, 2025, and $2.0 million on September 11, 2025, in the form of Notes. The purchase price for each Convertible
Note representing a Pre-Paid Advance is 94.0% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding
balance of any Convertible Note at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in
the Convertible Notes. The maturity date of each Convertible Note will be 12-months after the issuance of such note. YA II may convert
the Convertible Notes into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price, which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than
the Floor Price. YA II, in its sole discretion and providing that there is a balance remaining outstanding under the Convertible Notes,
may deliver a notice under the SEPA requiring an Investor Advance. YA II, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Investor
Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause YA II to exceed the Ownership Limitation or does not exceed the Exchange
Cap. As a result of an Investor Advance, the amounts payable under the Convertible Notes will be offset by such amount subject to each
Investor Advance.
Because the purchase price per share to be paid by
YA II for the shares of common stock that we may elect to sell to YA II under the SEPA, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices
of our common stock during the applicable Pricing Period for each Advance made pursuant to the SEPA, if any, it is not possible for us
to predict, as of the date of this prospectus and prior to any such sales, the number of shares of common stock that we will sell to YA
II under the SEPA, the purchase price per share that YA II will pay for shares purchased from us under the SEPA, or the aggregate gross
proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by YA II under the SEPA, if any.
8
In addition, unless we obtain stockholder approval,
we will not be able to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the SEPA in accordance with applicable Nasdaq
rules. Depending on the market prices of our common stock in the future, this could be a significant limitation on the amount of funds
we are able to raise pursuant to the SEPA. Other limitations in the SEPA, including the Ownership Limitation, and our ability to meet
the conditions necessary to deliver an Advance Notice, could also prevent us from being able to raise funds up to the Commitment Amount.
Moreover, although the SEPA provides that we may sell
up to an aggregate of $50.0 million of our common stock to YA II, we have filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement seeking to register
only 10,200,000 shares of our common stock, consisting of (i) the 200,000 Commitment Shares that we issued to YA II upon execution of
the SEPA as consideration for its commitment to purchase our common stock under the SEPA and (ii) up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock
that we may elect to sell to YA II, in our sole discretion, from time to time from and after the date of, and pursuant to, the SEPA or
that YA II may require that we sell pursuant to an Investor Advance. Even if we elect to sell to YA II all of the shares of common stock
being registered for resale under this prospectus, depending on the market prices of our common stock at the time of such sales, the actual
gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares may be substantially less than the $50.0 million Commitment Amount under the SEPA, which
could materially adversely affect our liquidity.
If we desire to issue and sell to YA II under the
SEPA more than the 10,000,000 shares that we are current seeking to register, and the Exchange Cap provisions and other limitations in
the SEPA would allow us to do so, we would need to file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under
the Securities Act the resale by YA II of any such additional shares of our common stock and the SEC would have to declare such registration
statement or statements effective before we could sell additional shares.
Further, the resale by YA II of 10,200,000 shares
of common stock registered for resale at any given time, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of
our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile.
**The sale and issuance of our shares of Common
Stock to YA II will cause dilution to our existing shareholders, and the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired by YA II, or the
perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our Common Stock to fall.**
The purchase price for the shares that we may sell
to YA II under the SEPA will fluctuate based on the price of our shares of Common Stock. Depending on a number of factors, including market
liquidity, sales of such shares may cause the trading price of our Common Stock to fall. If and when we do sell shares to YA II or when
YA II requests an Investor Advance, YA II may resell all, some, or none of those shares at its discretion, subject to the terms of the
SEPA. Therefore, sales to YA II by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our shares of Common Stock.
Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock to YA II, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more
difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a desirable time and price. The resale of shares of Common
Stock by YA II in the public market or otherwise, including sales pursuant to this prospectus, or the perception that such sales could
occur, could also harm the prevailing market price of our shares of Common Stock.
Following these issuances described above and as restrictions
on resale end and registration statements are available for use, the market price of our shares of Common Stock could decline if the holders
of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. As such, sales of a substantial number of shares
of Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large
number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our shares of Common Stock.
**Once we receive a Pre-Paid Advance, we do not
have the right to control the timing and amount of the issuance of our Common Shares to YA II under the PPA and, accordingly, it is not
possible to predict the actual number of shares we will issue pursuant to Pre-Paid Advances at any one time or in total.**
Once we receive any of the Pre-Paid Advances, including
the initial Pre-Paid Advance, we do not have the right to control the timing and amount of any issuances of our shares of Common Stock
to YA II under the SEPA. Sales of our shares of Common Stock, if any, to YA II under the SEPA will depend upon market conditions and other
factors, and the discretion of YA II. We may ultimately decide to sell to YA II all, some or none of the shares of Common Stock that may
be available for us to sell to YA II pursuant to the SEPA. Each Pre-Paid Advance matures within one year.
9
Because the purchase price per share to be paid by
YA II for the shares of Common Stock that we may elect to sell to YA II under the SEPA, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices
of our shares of Common Stock, if any, it is not possible for us to predict, as of the date of this prospectus supplement and prior to
any such sales, the number of shares of Common Stock that we will sell to YA II under the SEPA, the purchase price per share that YA II
will pay for shares purchased from us under the SEPA, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by YA
II under the SEPA, if any.
Further, the resale by YA II of 10,200,000 shares
of common stock registered in this offering at any given time, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price
of our shares of Common Stock to decline and to be highly volatile.
**Upon an amortization event, we may be required
to make payments that could cause us financial hardship.**
In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition
set forth therein, YA II has agreed to advance us the Pre-Paid Advance which shall be evidenced by the Convertible Notes to be issued
to YA II at a purchase price equal to 94.0% of the principal amount of each Pre-Paid Advance. Under the SEPA, we received $3.0 million
in pre-paid advances on July 25, 2025, and $2.0 million on September 11, 2025, in the form of Notes. The purchase price for each Convertible
Note representing a Pre-Paid Advance is 94.0% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding
balance of any Convertible Note at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in
the Convertible Notes. The maturity date of each Convertible Note is 12-months from the date of issuance. YA II may convert the Convertible
Notes into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price, which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than the Floor Price.
YA II, in its sole discretion and providing that there is a balance remaining outstanding under the Convertible Notes, may deliver a notice
under the SEPA requesting an Investor Advance. YA II, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any YA II Advance, provided that
the number of shares issued does not cause YA II to exceed the Ownership Limitation or does not exceed the Exchange Cap. As a result of
an Investor Advance, the amounts payable under the Convertible Notes will be offset by such amount subject to each Investor Advance.
If at any time on or after the issuance of the
Convertible Notes (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days
(Floor Price Event), (ii) the Company has issued in excess of 99% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange
Cap, where applicable (Exchange Cap Event) or (iii) any time after the effectiveness deadline set forth in the Registration
Rights Agreement, Investor is unable to utilize a registration statement to resell the shares underlying each Convertible Note for a period
of 30 consecutive Trading Days, then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning on the seventh trading day after the
Amortization Event and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus a 5.0% premium and all accrued and unpaid interest.
This financial obligation may be an undue and unsustainable
burden and may cause a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
**Investors who buy shares at different times
will likely pay different prices.**
Pursuant to the SEPA, we will have discretion, subject
to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold to YA II. If and when we do elect to sell shares of our common
stock to YA II pursuant to the SEPA, YA II may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion
and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from YA II in any offering at different times will likely pay different
prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes
in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from YA II in any offering as
a result of future sales made by us to YA II at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering.
**Our current business plans require a significant
amount of capital. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding or do not have access to capital, we may not be able to execute our business
plans and our prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.**
10
The extent to which we rely on YA II as a source of
funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our common stock, our ability to meet the conditions
necessary to deliver Advance Notices under the SEPA, the impacts of the Exchange Cap and the Ownership Limitation and the extent to which
we are able to secure funding from other sources. In addition to the amount of funds we ultimately raise under the SEPA, if any, we expect
to continue to seek other sources of funding, including by offering additional equity, and/or equity-linked securities, through one or
more credit facilities and potentially by offering debt securities, to finance a portion of our future expenditures.
We have experienced operating losses, and we expect
to continue to incur operating losses as we implement our business plans. We expect our capital expenditures to continue to be significant
in the foreseeable future as we expand our business. We expect to expend capital with significant outlays directed towards servicing our
operations. The fact that we have a limited operating history with respect to the agri-foods and farming operations business means we
have limited historical data on the demand for our services. As a result, our capital requirements are uncertain and actual capital requirements
may be different from those we currently anticipate. In addition, new opportunities for growth in future product lines and markets may
arise and may require additional capital.
As of September 30, 2025, our principal source of
liquidity is our cash balance in the amount of approximately $2.28 million. We entered into the SEPA whereby we will have the right, but
not the obligation, to sell to YA II up to $50.0 million of our shares of common stock. However, our right to sell shares under the SEPA
is subject to certain conditions that may not be satisfied. Accordingly, we may not be able to utilize this facility to raise additional
capital when, or in the amounts, we may require. Under the SEPA, we received $3.0 million in pre-paid advances on July 25, 2025, and $2.0
million on September 11, 2025, in the form of Notes. The Pre-Paid Advances were made in the form of Convertible Notes. In addition, upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Convertible Notes may be declared immediately due and payable,
in which case the Company shall pay to YA II the principal and interest due thereunder. If any time (i) the daily VWAP is less than the
Floor Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (Floor Price Event), or (ii) the Company
has issued in excess of 99% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap (Exchange Cap Event and collectively
with the Floor Price Event, the Amortization Event)), then we shall make monthly payments to YA II beginning on the seventh
trading day after the Amortization Event and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus a 5.0% premium and accrued and unpaid interest.
The Exchange Cap Event will not apply in the event we have obtained the approval from our stockholders in accordance with the rules of
Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and the
SEPA in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the SEPA
(the Exchange Cap). Any debt we incur from YA II or other parties could make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our operating
results or a downturn in economic conditions. If our cash flow from operations is insufficient to meet any debt service requirements including
the repayment of the Convertible Notes in the event of a Amortization Event, we could be required to refinance our obligations, or dispose
of assets in order to meet debt service requirements.
As an early-stage growth company, our ability to access
capital is critical. We expect that we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue to execute our business plans in the
future, and we plan to use the SEPA, if the conditions for its use are satisfied and seek additional equity and/or debt financing, including
by offering additional equity, and/or equity-linked securities, through one or more credit facilities and potentially by offering debt
securities, to finance a portion of our future expenditures.
The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities
could dilute our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating
and financing covenants that would restrict our operations or our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. Our ability to obtain
the necessary additional financing to carry out our business plans or to refinance, if necessary, any outstanding debt when due is subject
to a number of factors, including general market conditions and investor acceptance of our business model. These factors may make the
timing, amount, terms and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds on
favorable terms, we may have to significantly reduce our spending, delay or cancel our planned activities or substantially change our
corporate structure. We might not be able to obtain any such funding or we might not have sufficient resources to conduct our business
as projected, both of which could mean that we would be forced to curtail or discontinue our operations and our prospects, financial consolidated
results of operations could be materially adversely affected, in which case our investors could lose some or all of their investment.
11
**Management will have broad discretion as to
the use of the proceeds from the SEPA, and uses may not improve our financial condition or market value.**
Because we have not designated the amount of net proceeds
from the SEPA to be used for any particular purpose, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of such proceeds.
Our management may use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes that may not improve our financial condition or
advance our business objectives.
**Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock**
**
**As a smaller reporting company, we are exempt
from certain disclosure requirements, which could make our Common Stock less attractive to the potential investors***.*
Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act defines a smaller
reporting company as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent
that is not a smaller reporting company and that:
|
|
|
had a public float of less than $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principal market for the common equity; or | |
|
|
|
in the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $250 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated public offering price of the shares; or | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
in the case of an issuer whose public float as calculated under paragraph (1) or (2) of this definition was zero, had annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available. | |
As a smaller reporting company, we will not
be required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxy statements; we will provide only two years
of financial statements; and we need not provide the table of selected financial data. We also will have other scaled disclosure
requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reporting companies which could make our Common Stock less
attractive to potential investors, which could make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.
**We are an emerging growth company and subject
to less rigorous public reporting requirements and cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth
companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.**
We are a public reporting company under the Exchange
Act, and thereafter publicly report on an ongoing basis as an emerging growth company (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we
remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that
are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not emerging growth companies, including but not limited
to:
|
|
|
Not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; | |
|
|
|
| |
|

Taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards; | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and | |
|
|
|
| |

Being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensations and stockholder approval of a golden parachute payments not previously approved. | |

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions
until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, circumstances could cause
us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, if we issue
$1 billion or more in non-convertible debt during a three-year period, or if our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion. We would cease
to be an emerging growth company on the last day of the fiscal year following the date of the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common
equity securities under an effective registration statement or a fiscal year in which we have $1 billion in gross revenues. Finally, at
any time we may choose to opt-out of the emerging growth company reporting requirements. If we choose to opt out, we will be unable to
opt back in to being an emerging growth company.
We cannot predict if investors will find our Common
Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there
may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
**As an emerging growth company, our auditor is
not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls.**
Our independent registered public accounting firm
is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting while we are an emerging growth company.
This means that the effectiveness of our financial operations may differ from our peer companies in that they may be required to obtain
independent registered public accounting firm attestations as to the effectiveness of their internal controls over financial reporting
and we are not. While our management will be required to attest to internal control over financial reporting and we will be required to
detail changes to our internal controls on a quarterly basis, we cannot provide assurance that the independent registered public accounting
firms review process in assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, if obtained, would not find
one or more material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Further, once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will be subject
to independent registered public accounting firm attestation regarding the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.
Even if management finds such controls to be effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may decline to attest to the
effectiveness of such internal controls and issue a qualified report.
**As a public company, we will incur significant
increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance
initiatives.**
As a public company, we have incurred significant
legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the rules of the SEC and those of The NASDAQ
Stock Market LLC (NASDAQ ), NASDAQ Capital Market has imposed various requirements on public companies including requiring
establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a
substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations have increased and will continue to
increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costlier. For example, we expect
that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors and officers liability
insurance, which could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors. We cannot predict
or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the timing of such costs.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things,
that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform
system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In addition, we will be required
to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
the later of our second annual report on Form 10-K or the first annual report on Form 10-K following the date on which we are no longer
an emerging growth company. Our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require that we incur substantial accounting
expense and expend significant management efforts. We currently do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional
accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. If we are not able to comply
with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies
in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline
and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the exchange we are listed on, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which
would require additional financial and management resources.
13
Our ability to successfully implement our business
plan and comply with Section 404 requires us to be able to prepare timely and accurate financial statements. We expect that we will need
to continue to improve existing, and implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to manage our business effectively.
Any delay in the implementation of, or disruption in the transition to, new or enhanced systems, procedures or controls, may cause our
operations to suffer and we may be unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective and to obtain an
unqualified report on internal controls from our auditors as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This, in turn, could
have an adverse impact on trading prices for our common stock, and could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets.
**The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(FINRA) sales practice requirements may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.**
In addition to the penny stock rules
described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable
grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their
non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status,
tax status, investment objectives and other information. The FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend
that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our Common Stock. As
a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholders ability to resell shares
of our Common Stock.
**Our stock price may be volatile.**
The market price of our Common Stock has been highly
volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond our control, including
the following:
|
|
|
services by us or our competitors; | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
additions or departures of key personnel; | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
our ability to execute our business plan; | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
operating results that fall below expectations; | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
loss of any strategic relationship; | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
industry developments; | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
economic and other external factors; and | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. | |
In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time
experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market
fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
**If securities or industry analysts do not publish
research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.**
The trading market for our common stock will, to some
extent, depends on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any
control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our shares or change their opinion of our shares, our
share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we
could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.
14
**We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable
future, which could reduce the attractiveness of our stock to some investors.**
We currently intend to retain any future earnings
to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our common stock if the market price of our common stock increases. In
addition, we may incur debt financing to further finance our operations, the governing documents of which may contain restrictions on
our ability to pay dividends.
**If we are unable to maintain listing of our
securities on the NASDAQ Global Market or another reputable stock exchange, it may be more difficult for our stockholders to sell their
securities.**
NASDAQ requires listing issuers to comply with certain
standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, NASDAQ should delist our securities from trading on its exchange
and we are unable to obtain listing on another reputable national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may
occur, each of which could materially adversely affect our stockholders.
**If our shares of Common Stock become subject
to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.**
The Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price per share of less
than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated
quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the
exchange or system. If we do not obtain or retain a listing on the NYSE American or NASDAQ Market and if the price of our Common Stock
is less than $5.00 per share, our Common Stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before effecting
a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified
information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, before effecting any such transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt
from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser
and receive; (i) the purchasers written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement
to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock, and therefore stockholders may have
difficulty selling their shares.
**Provisions in our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws and Delaware law may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company and, therefore, may depress the trading
price of our stock.**
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain
certain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control that our stockholders may consider favorable. These provisions:
|
|
|
prohibit stockholder action to elect or remove directors by majority written consent; | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
provide that the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal our bylaws; | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
prohibit our stockholders from calling a special meeting of stockholders; and | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
establish advance notice requirements for nominations for elections to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings. | |
**We may be subject to securities litigation,
which is expensive and could divert management attention.**
In the past companies that have experienced volatility
in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation
in the future. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of managements attention and resources,
which could seriously hurt our business. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.
15
**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments**
None.
**Item 1C. Cybersecurity**
Cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated and
effective every day, and they are increasingly targeting companies similar to ours operating in the technology, software and identification
space. All companies utilizing technology are subject to threats of breaches of their cybersecurity programs. To mitigate the threat to
our business, we take a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity risk management and make securing the data customers and other stakeholders
entrust to us a top priority. Our Board of directors and our management are actively involved in the oversight of our risk management
program, of which cybersecurity represents an important component. As described in more detail below, we have established policies, standards,
processes and practices for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. We have devoted significant
financial and personnel resources to implement and maintain security measures to meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations,
and we intend to continue to make significant investments to maintain the security of our data and cybersecurity infrastructure. There
can be no guarantee that our policies and procedures will be properly followed in every instance or that those policies and procedures
will be effective to prevent cyberattack incidents. Such incidents, whether or not successful, could result in our incurring significant
costs related to, for example, rebuilding our internal systems, implementing additional threat protection measures, providing modifications
or replacements to our products and services, defending against litigation, responding to regulatory inquiries or actions, paying damages,
providing customers with incentives to maintain a business relationship with us, or taking other remedial steps with respect to third
parties, as well as incurring significant reputational harm. In addition, these threats are constantly evolving, thereby increasing the
difficulty of successfully defending against them or implementing adequate preventative measures. We have seen an increase in cyberattack
volume, frequency, and sophistication. Although our Risk Factors include further detail about the material cybersecurity risks we face,
we believe that as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, risks from prior cybersecurity threats, have not materially affected
our business to date. We can provide no assurance that there will not be incidents in the future or that they will not materially affect
us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.
**Risk Management and Strategy**
Our policies, standards, processes and practices for
assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats are based on frameworks established by the International
Organization for Standardization, specifically ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and other applicable industry standards. We have established comprehensive
Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) policies, which are independently reviewed and audited annually for conformity
and effectiveness under ISO/IEC 27001. Our cybersecurity program in particular focuses on the following key areas:
*Collaboration*
Our cybersecurity risks are identified and addressed
through a comprehensive, cross-functional approach. Key security, risk, and compliance stakeholders, including a member of the Board meet
at least monthly to develop strategies for preserving the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our company and customer information,
identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats, and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents. We maintain controls
and procedures that are designed to ensure prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding public disclosure
and reporting of such incidents can be made by management and the Board in a timely manner.
*Risk Assessment*
At least annually, we conduct a cybersecurity risk
assessment that takes into account information from internal stakeholders, known information security vulnerabilities, and information
from external sources (e.g., reported security incidents that have impacted other companies, industry trends, and evaluations by third
parties and consultants). The results of the assessment are used to drive alignment on, and prioritization of, initiatives to enhance
our security controls, make recommendations to improve processes, and inform a broader enterprise-level risk assessment that is presented
to our Board and members of management. Risk assessment is integral to all engineering, business and operational decisions and in addition
to the annual reviews, is an ongoing effort, as circumstances and facts arise.
16
*Self Audit*
At least annually we conduct a self-audit of our information
security management systems (ISMS), in order to identify if there is any non-conformance with our ISMS policies and procedures.
The results of the self-audit are reported to our Steering Committee and our external auditor for ISO/IEC 27001 compliance.
*Technical Safeguards*
We regularly assess and deploy technical safeguards
designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats. Such safeguards are regularly evaluated and improved based on
vulnerability assessments, cybersecurity threat intelligence and incident response experience.
*Incident Response and Recovery Planning*
We have established comprehensive incident response
and recovery plans and continue to regularly test and evaluate the effectiveness of those plans. Our incident response and recovery plans
address and guide our employees, management and the Board on our response to a cybersecurity incident.
*Third-Party Risk Management*
We have implemented controls designed to identify
and mitigate cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party service providers. Such providers are subject to security risk
assessments at the time of onboarding and contract renewal. We use a variety of inputs in such risk assessments, including information
supplied by providers and third parties. In addition, we require our providers to meet appropriate security requirements, controls and
responsibilities.
*Education and Awareness*
Our policies require each of our employees to contribute
to our data security efforts. We regularly remind employees of the importance of handling and protecting customer and employee data, including
through regular privacy and security training and testing to enhance employee awareness of how to detect and respond to cybersecurity
threats.
*External Assessments*
Our cybersecurity policies, standards, processes and
practices are regularly assessed by consultants and external independent auditors. These assessments include a variety of activities including
information security assessments, audits and independent reviews of our ISMS, control environment and operating effectiveness. For example,
in 2023 and 2024, we conducted independent audits to assess our ISMS against the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard and received certification
of compliance with the standard. We also undertake regular penetration testing of our systems. The results of significant assessments
are reported to management and the Board. Cybersecurity processes are adjusted based on the information provided from these assessments.
We have also obtained industry certifications and attestations that demonstrate our dedication to protecting the data our customers entrust
to us.
**Governance**
*Board Oversight*
Our Board oversees our management of cybersecurity
risk. They receive regular reports from management about the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents,
including material security risks and information security vulnerabilities. Our Security Committee directly oversees our cybersecurity
program. The Board receives periodic updates from management on cybersecurity risk resulting from risk assessments, progress of risk reduction
initiatives, external auditor feedback, control maturity assessments, and relevant internal and industry cybersecurity incidents.
17
*Managements Role*
Our Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Operating Officer
(COO) have primary responsibility for assessing and managing material cybersecurity risks.
Our CTO and COO are both seasoned computer scientists and technology entrepreneurs
with over 25 years of experience.
**Item 2. Properties**
The Companys registered corporate address is 300 Delaware Avenue,
Suite 210 #301, Wilmington, Delaware 19801 and its operational headquarters is located at 1063 N Spaulding Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90046.
**Item 3. Legal Proceedings**
From time to time the Company is a party to various
legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty,
we have no reason to believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results
of operations of the Company. Below is a summary of any material legal proceedings:
|
| Better
Works LLC, Plaintiff, against VisionWave Holdings, Inc., and Douglas E. Davis, Defendants,
Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, Index No. 655268/2025. Better
Works is seeking a declaration that it is not an affiliate. | |
**Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures**
Not applicable.

**PART II**
**Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder
Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities**
**Market Information**
****
On July 15, 2025, our common stock and publicly traded
warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols VWAV and VWAVW, respectively. Prior to
that time, there was no public market for our common stock or warrants.
**Stockholders**
****
As
of December 29, 2025, there were approximately 207 stockholders of record of our common stock.
The actual number of holders of our common stock is greater than this number of record holders,
and includes stockholders who are beneficial owners, but whose shares are held in street
name by brokers or held by other nominees. This number of holders of record also does not
include stockholders whose shares may be held in trust by other entities.
**Dividend Policy**
****
We have never paid or declared any cash dividends
on our common stock, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain
all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends
will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our results of operations, financial
condition, future prospects, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors
deems relevant.
**Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities**
****
*YA II*
**
On July 25, 2025, we entered into a Standby Equity
Purchase Agreement (the SEPA) with YA II PN, Ltd. (YA II), pursuant to which YA II has committed to purchase
up to $50.0 million of shares of our common stock over a 24-month period. In connection with the SEPA, we issued 200,000 shares of our
common stock to YA II as consideration for its commitment. These shares were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration under
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), as a transaction by an issuer not involving
a public offering.
Additionally, under the SEPA, we received $3.0 million
in pre-paid advances on July 25, 2025, and $2.0 million on September 11, 2025, in the form of convertible promissory notes (the Notes).
The Notes bear interest at 6% per annum (increasing to 18% upon an event of default) and mature 12 months from issuance. The Notes are
convertible into shares of our common stock at the lower of $10.00 per share or 93% of the lowest volume-weighted average price (VWAP)
over the five consecutive trading days preceding conversion, subject to a $1.00 floor price. The Notes were issued in reliance upon an
exemption from registration under
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as a transaction
by an issuer not involving a public offering. Shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes are registered for resale by YA II pursuant
to a registration statement on Form S-3.
On September 11, 2025, we agreed to issue an additional
$2.0 million Note upon the effectiveness of such registration statement, on substantially the same terms as the existing Notes, also in
reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
In connection with the SEPA, we also incurred a $35,000
structuring fee paid in cash to YA II and a $500,000 commitment fee, half of which is payable in cash and half in shares of our common
stock valued based on the average VWAP over the three trading days prior to the due date.
19
On July 15, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreements (the July 2025 SPAs) with two unaffiliated accredited investors (July 2025 Lenders), pursuant
to which the Company issued promissory notes (the July 2025 Notes) to the July 2025 Lenders in the aggregate principal amount
of $354,200, which includes an aggregate original issue discount of $46,200, for a purchase price of $308,000. The July 2025 Notes bear
interest at a one-time charge of12% applied on the issuance date, mature on May 15, 2026, and is repayable in five monthly payments
commencing January 15, 2026. The July 2025 Notes are convertible into shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per
share (the Common Stock), solely upon an event of default, at a conversion price equal to 75% of the lowest trading price
during the ten trading days prior to conversion. The Company also entered into an irrevocable transfer agent instructions letter with
its transfer agent in connection with the July 2025 Notes. The proceeds from the issuances of the July 2025 Notes will be used for general
working capital purposes. The July 2025 Lenders have piggyback registration rights and have agreed not to engage in short sales of the
Companys common stock during the term of the July 2025 Notes. The July 2025 Notes include customary representations, warranties,
covenants, and default provisions. The Company may prepay the July 2025 Notes within the first 180 days.
The loan pursuant to the July 2025 Notes closed and
funded on July 17, 2025.
*Shares to Vendors*
**
At June 30, 2025, the Company owed a vendor $87,500for
services rendered. On July 28, 2025, the Company and the vendor agreed to satisfy the outstanding balance with the Company issuing22,500VisionWave
Holdings Common Shares to the vendor. On July 16, 2025, the Company issued an option to acquire 500,000 shares of common stock
to a vendor exercisable for a period of ten years at an exercise price of $3.27 per share.
*Executive Options*
**
Pursuant to their employment agreements and the 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
(the Plan, subject to shareholder approval), the Company granted nonstatutory stock options to Mr. Davis and Mr. Kenig,
our former Chief Executive Officer, to purchase 2,000,000 shares each and to Mr. Rittman to purchase 500,000 shares. Each option has an
exercise price of $7.20 per share (fair market value on the grant date), vests in twelve equal quarterly installments over four years
commencing on the date of shareholder approval of the Plan, is exercisable for five years from the grant date, and permits cashless exercise.
The grants are contingent upon shareholder approval of the Plan; if not approved, they become null and void.
Pursuant to their employment agreements and the Plan
(subject to shareholder approval), the Company granted nonstatutory stock options to Mr. Shoval and Mr. Allon to purchase 500,000 shares
each and to Mr. Williman to purchase 250,000 shares. Each option has an exercise price of $9.09 per share (fair market value on the grant
date), with vesting, exercisability, and contingency terms identical to those for the August Executives options.
*Director Equity*
**
On September 9, 2025, the Board approved Independent
Director Agreements (each, an Director Agreement) with Eric Shuss, Chuck Hansen, and Haggai Ravid, pursuant to which each
will serve as an independent director of the Company.
Under the terms of each of the Director Agreements,
the independent director will receive:
****
|
|
|
An
annual cash retainer of $36,000, payable quarterly, and $10,000per annum for serving as the audit committee chair, $5,000for
compensation committee chair and the governance committee chair; | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Reimbursement
for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with Board service; and | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
An
annual equity grant under the Companys 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) with a grant date fair
value of $60,000, consisting of restricted stock vesting in full after one year of service. | |
As a result of the above, the Company issued5,245shares
of common stock to Messrs Shuss, Hansen and Ravid for their service in 2025. The Director Agreements also include standard provisions
regarding indemnification, confidentiality, and compliance with applicable laws and Company policies. Each Director Agreement has an initial
term of one year, subject to renewal upon mutual agreement or election at the annual stockholder meeting.
20
Further, as compensation for his service as a director
prior to the Business Combination with Bannix Acquisition Corp. (Bannix), the Company entered into Compensation Agreements
(each, a Compensation Agreement) with Mr. Shuss and two other former directors who served as an independent director on
the Board of Directors of Bannix from October 2022 until July 2025. Pursuant to the Compensation Agreement, effective as of September
9, 2025, Mr. Shuss will receive a one-time lump sum compensation of $150,000, payable in cash, fully vested shares of the Companys
common stock issued under the Companys Plan, or a combination thereof, at Mr. Shuss election. If shares are elected, the
number of shares will be determined by dividing the elected portion by the closing price of the Companys common stock on the NASDAQ
Stock Market immediately prior to the effective date of the Compensation Agreement. Mr. Shuss has elected to receive6,556shares
of common stock using a closing price of $11.44as of September 8, 2025. The shares will be fully vested upon issuance but subject
to resale restrictions under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Payment or issuance will occur within 10 business days
after the election (or default to cash if no election is made within 10 business days).
*PVML*
**
On October 5, 2025, the Company entered into an Order
Form (the Agreement) with PVML Ltd., a Tel Avivbased provider of secure data-AI infrastructure. The Agreement establishes
a strategic collaboration to integrate PVMLs secure, real-time data-AI infrastructure with the Companys radar and AI-driven
computer-vision technologies to enable secure, autonomous mission-data systems for defense and homeland-security applications.
The terms of the Agreement include:

**2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan**
****

number of shares of common stock to be covered by Awards, (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Awards granted under the Plan,
(v) determine to what extent and under what circumstances Awards may be settled in cash, shares of common stock, other securities, other
Awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited or suspended, (vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances the
delivery of cash, Common Stock, other securities, other Awards or other property and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall

any omission in this Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or Award granted under, this Plan; (viii) establish, amend, suspend,
or waive any rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Committee shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of this
Plan; (ix) accelerate the vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, Awards; (x) reprice existing Awards with
shareholder approval or to grant Awards in connection with or in consideration of the cancellation of an outstanding Award with a higher
price; and (xi) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration
of this Plan. The Committee will have full discretion to administer and interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and procedures
as it deems necessary or advisable and to determine, among other things, the time or times at which the awards may be exercised and whether
and under what circumstances an award may be exercised.
*Eligibility*
Employees, directors, officers, advisors and consultants
of the Company or its affiliates are eligible to participate in the Plan and are referred to as Participants. The Committee
has the sole and complete authority to determine who will be granted an Award under the Plan, however, it may delegate such authority
to one or more officers of the Company under the circumstances set forth in the Plan.
*Awards Available for Grant*
The Committee may grant Awards of Non-Qualified Stock
Options, Incentive Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Bonus Awards, Performance
Compensation Awards (including cash bonus awards) or any combination of the foregoing. Notwithstanding, the Committee may not grant to
any one person in any one calendar year Awards (i) for more than 50% of the Available Shares in the aggregate or (ii) payable in cash
in an amount exceeding $10,000,000 in the aggregate.
22
*Options*
The Committee will be authorized to grant Options
to purchase Common Stock that are either qualified, meaning they are intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section
422 for Incentive Stock Options, or non-qualified, meaning they are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section
422 of the Code. Options granted under the Plan will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee. Under the terms
of the Plan, unless the Committee determines otherwise in the case of an Option substituted for another Option in connection with a corporate
transaction, the exercise price of the Options will not be less than the fair market value (as determined under the Plan) of the shares
of common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan will be subject to such terms, including the exercise price and the
conditions and timing of exercise, as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the applicable award agreement. The maximum
term of an Option granted under the Plan will be ten years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option
granted to a 10% stockholder). Payment in respect of the exercise of an Option may be made in cash or by check, by surrender of unrestricted
shares of Common Stock (at their fair market value on the date of exercise) that have been held by the participant for any period deemed
necessary by the Companys accountants to avoid an additional compensation charge or have been purchased on the open market, or
the Committee may, in its discretion and to the extent permitted by law, allow such payment to be made through a broker-assisted cashless
exercise mechanism, a net exercise method, or by such other method as the Committee may determine to be appropriate.
*Stock Appreciation Rights*
The Committee will be authorized to award Stock Appreciation
Rights (or SARs) under the Plan. SARs will be subject to such terms and conditions as established by the Committee. A SAR
is a contractual right that allows a participant to receive, either in the form of cash, shares or any combination of cash and shares,
the appreciation, if any, in the value of a share over a certain period of time. A SAR granted under the Plan may be granted in tandem
with an option and SARs may also be awarded to a participant independent of the grant of an Option. SARs granted in connection with an
Option shall be subject to terms similar to the Option which corresponds to such SARs. SARs shall be subject to terms established by the
Committee and reflected in the award agreement.
*Restricted Stock*
The Committee will be authorized to award Restricted
Stock under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and specified in an award agreement, restrictions on Restricted Stock
will lapse after three years of service with the Company. The Committee will determine the terms of such Restricted Stock awards. Restricted
Stock are shares of common stock that generally are non-transferable and subject to other restrictions determined by the Committee for
a specified period. Unless the Committee determines otherwise or specifies otherwise in an award agreement, if the participant terminates
employment or services during the restricted period, then any unvested restricted stock will be forfeited.
*Restricted Stock Unit Awards*
The Committee will be authorized to award Restricted
Stock Unit awards. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and specified in an award agreement, Restricted Stock Units will vest after
three years of service with the Company. The Committee will determine the terms of such Restricted Stock Units. Unless the Committee determines
otherwise or specifies otherwise in an award agreement, if the participant terminates employment or services during the period of time
over which all or a portion of the units are to be earned, then any unvested units will be forfeited. At the election of the Committee,
the participant will receive a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of units earned or an amount in cash equal to the
fair market value of that number of shares at the expiration of the period over which the units are to be earned or at a later date selected
by the Committee.
*Stock Bonus Awards*
The Committee will be authorized to grant Awards of
unrestricted shares of common stock or other Awards denominated in shares of common stock, either alone or in tandem with other Awards,
under such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.
23
*Transferability*
Each Award may be exercised during the Participants
lifetime only by the Participant or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participants guardian or legal representative
and may not be otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The
Committee, however, may permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred to family members, a trust for the benefit
of such family members, a partnership or limited liability company whose partners or stockholders are the Participant and his or her family
members or anyone else approved by it.
*Amendment*
The Plan will have a term of ten years. The Companys
board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; however, shareholder approval to amend the Plan may be necessary
if the law or SEC so requires. No amendment, suspension or termination will materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant
or recipient of any Award without the consent of the Participant or recipient.
*Change in Control*
Except to the extent otherwise provided in an Award
or required by applicable law, in the event of a Change in Control, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee is authorized,
but not obligated, to make any of the following adjustments (or any combination thereof) in the terms and conditions of outstanding Awards:
(a) continuation or assumption of outstanding Awards by the surviving company; (b) substitution by the surviving company of equity, equity-based
and/or cash awards with substantially the same terms for outstanding Awards; (c) accelerated exercisability, vesting and/or lapse of restrictions
under outstanding Awards immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control; (d) upon written notice, provide that any outstanding
Awards must be exercised, to the extent then exercisable, during a reasonable period determined by the Committee and at the end of such
period, any unexercised Awards will terminate; and I cancellation of all or any portion of outstanding Awards for fair value (in the form
of cash, shares or other property) and which value may be zero.
*U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences*
The following is a general summary of the material
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the grant and exercise and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the disposition of shares acquired
pursuant to the exercise of such Awards. This summary is intended to reflect the current provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
However, this summary is not intended to be a complete statement of applicable law, nor does it address foreign, state, local and payroll
tax considerations. Moreover, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any particular participant may differ from those described herein
by reason of, among other things, the particular circumstances of such participant.
Options
There are a number of requirements that must be met
for a particular Option to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option. One such requirement is that Common Stock acquired through the exercise
of an Incentive Stock Option cannot be disposed of before the later of (i) two years from the date of grant of the Option, or (ii) one
year from the date of its exercise. Holders of Incentive Stock Options will generally incur no federal income tax liability at the time
of grant or upon exercise of those Options. However, the spread at exercise will be an item of tax preference, which may
give rise to alternative minimum tax liability for the taxable year in which the exercise occurs. If the holder does not
dispose of the shares before the later of two years following the date of grant and one year following the date of exercise, the difference
between the exercise price and the amount realized upon disposition of the shares will constitute long-term capital gain or loss, as the
case may be. Assuming both holding periods are satisfied, no deduction will be allowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes
in connection with the grant or exercise of the Incentive Stock Option. If, within two years following the date of grant or within one
year following the date of exercise, the holder of shares acquired through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option disposes of those
shares, the Participant will generally realize taxable compensation at the time of such disposition equal to the difference between the
exercise price and the lesser of the Fair Market Value of the share on the date of exercise or the amount realized on the subsequent disposition
of the shares, and that amount will generally be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, subject to the possible limitations
on deductibility under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to executives designated in those Sections. Finally,
if an otherwise Incentive Stock Option becomes first exercisable in any one year for shares having an aggregate value in excess of $100,000
(based on the date of grant value), the portion of the Incentive Stock Option in respect of those excess shares will be treated as a non-qualified
stock option for federal income tax purposes.
24
Income will be realized by a Participant upon grant
of a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation
income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the underlying exercised shares over the Option exercise
price paid at the time of exercise. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required to pay
to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income.
The Company will be able to deduct this same amount
for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid
to certain executives designated in those Sections.
Restricted Stock
A Participant will not be subject to tax upon the
grant of an Award of Restricted Stock unless the Participant otherwise elects to be taxed at the time of grant pursuant to Section 83(b)
of the Code. On the date an Award of Restricted Stock becomes transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture,
the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares on that
date over the amount the Participant paid for such shares, if any. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant
will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income. If the Participant made
an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income at the time of grant equal to
the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date of grant over the amount the Participant paid for such shares,
if any, and any subsequent appreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as a capital gain upon sale of the shares. Special
rules apply to the receipt and disposition of Restricted Shares received by officers and directors who are subject to Section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act). The Company will be able to deduct, at the same time as it is recognized
by the Participant, the amount of taxable compensation to the participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may
be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.
Restricted Stock Units
A Participant will not be subject to tax upon the
grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award. Rather, upon the delivery of shares or cash pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Participant
will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the Fair Market Value of the number of shares (or the amount of cash) the Participant
actually receives with respect to the Award. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will be required
to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income. The Company will be able to deduct the amount
of taxable compensation recognized by the Participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but the deduction may be limited under Sections
280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.
SARs
No income will be realized by a Participant upon grant
of an SAR. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the Participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the Fair Market
Value of the payment received in respect of the SAR. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the Participant will
be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income. The Company will be able to
deduct this same amount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the
Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.
Stock Bonus Awards
A Participant will recognize ordinary compensation
income equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares on the date the shares of common stock subject to the Award
are transferred to the Participant over the amount the Participant paid for such shares, if any, and any subsequent appreciation in the
value of the shares will be treated as a capital gain upon sale of the shares. The Company will be able to deduct, at the same time as
it is recognized by the Participant, the amount of taxable compensation to the Participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such
deduction may be limited under Sections 280G and 162(m) of the Code for compensation paid to certain executives designated in those Sections.
25
Section 162(m)
In general, Section 162(m) of the Code denies a publicly
held corporation a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 per year paid to any covered
employee. Covered employees include any individual who served as chief executive officer or chief financial officer during the
taxable year, in addition to the three most highly compensated individuals aside from the chief executive officer and chief financial
officer. Additionally, covered employees include any previously covered employee for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016.
The Plan is intended to satisfy an exception with respect to grants of Options to covered employees. In addition, the Plan was designed
to permit certain Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, cash bonus awards and other Awards to be awarded as performance
compensation awards intended to qualify under the performance-based compensation exception to Section 162(m) of the Code.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)
was signed into law. The TCJA repealed the performance-based compensation exception to the Section 162(m) $1 million limitation on compensation
to covered employees of publicly held corporations. This change was effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result
of this change, any expense recognized upon exercise of stock options will be subject to the $1 million limitation under Section 162(m),
even if based on performance.
*New Plan Benefits*
Future grants under the Plan will be made at the discretion
of the Committee and, accordingly, are not yet determinable. In addition, the value of the Awards granted under the Plan will depend on
a number of factors, including the Fair Market Value of the shares of common stock on future dates, the exercise decisions made by the
Participants and/or the extent to which any applicable performance goals necessary for vesting or payment are achieved. Consequently,
it is not possible to determine the benefits that might be received by Participants receiving discretionary grants under, or having their
annual bonus paid pursuant to, the Plan.

**Recent Developments**
*Recapitalization*
On March 26, 2024, the Company, VisionWave Technologies
Inc., a Nevada corporation (VW Tech), and the shareholders of VisionWave (the VW Tech Shareholder), entered
into a Business Combination Agreement (the Business Combination Agreement), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction
or waiver of certain conditions precedent in the Business Combination Agreement, Bannix Acquisition Corp (Bannix) will acquire
all of the issued and outstanding share capital of VW Tech from the VW Tech Shareholders, pursuant to which the Company will become a
direct wholly owned subsidiary of Bannix (the Share Acquisition) and (b) the other transactions contemplated by the Business
Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents referred to therein (collectively, the Transactions).
Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms set forth
in the Merger Agreement, (a)Parent Merger Sub merged with and into Bannix, with Bannix continuing as the surviving entity (the Parent
Merger), as a result of which, (i)Bannix became a wholly owned subsidiary of VW Holdings, and (ii)each issued and outstanding
share of Bannix immediately prior to the effective time of the Parent Merger (the Parent Merger Effective Time) (other than
shares of Bannix Common Stock that have been redeemed or are owned by Bannix or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as treasury
shares and any Dissenting Parent Shares) was automatically cancelled in exchange for one share of common stock, par value $0.001 of VW
Holdings, each Bannix Warrant automatically converted into one warrant to purchase shares of VW Holdings Common Stock on substantially
the same terms and conditions and each Bannix Right automatically converted into the number of shares of VW Tech Common Stock that would
have been received by the holder of such Bannix Right if it had been converted upon the consummation of a Business Combination in accordance
with Bannixs organizational document and, (b)immediately following the consummation of the Parent Merger but on the same
day, Company Merger Sub merged with and into Target, with Target continuing as the surviving entity (the Company Merger
and, together with the Parent Merger, the Mergers), as a result of which, (i)Target became a wholly owned subsidiary
of VW Holdings, and (ii)each issued and outstanding security of Target immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger
(the Company Merger Effective Time) (other than any cancelled Shares or dissenting shares) were no longer be outstanding
and were automatically cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VW Holdings.
The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the Reverse Acquisition.
The Merger Agreement contained representations, warranties
and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type, including, among others, covenants providing
for (i) certain limitations on the operation of the parties respective businesses prior to consummation of the Business Combination,

Advance**

Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the Investor)
pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain
limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA, from time to time during the term of

Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the shares of common stock during
the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other than the daily VWAP on a day in
which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the
subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which the Company will not be obligated
to make any sales to Investor. VWAP is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock
for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.
29
In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition
set forth therein, Investor advanced to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (the Convertible Notes)
an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the Pre-Paid Advance). The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 25,
2025 with respect to $3.0 million and the balance of $2.0 million was disbursed on September 11, 2025 upon the registration statement
registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA being declared effective. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid
Advance is 94% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance
at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity
date is 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. The Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares
ofthe Companyscommon stockat a conversion price equal to the lower of $10.00 or 93% of the lowest daily VWAP
during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (the Conversion Price), which in no event
may the Conversion Price be lower than $1.00 (the Floor Price). In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an event of default, the Convertible Notes shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the Investor the principal
and interest due thereunder. In no event shall Investor be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares
of common stock beneficially owned by Investor and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of
the Company. If any time on or after the issuance of the Convertible Notes (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for five trading
days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (Floor Price Trigger), or (ii) the Company has issued in excess of
99% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap, where applicable ( Exchange Cap Trigger and collectively
with the Floor Price Trigger, the Trigger), then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning on the seventh
trading day after the Trigger and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus an 5.0% premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The
Exchange Cap Trigger will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders in accordance with the rules
of Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and
the SEPA in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the
SEPA (the Exchange Cap).
The Investor, in its sole discretion and providing
that there is a balance remaining outstanding under the Convertible Notes, may deliver a notice under the SEPA requiring the issuance
and sale of shares of common stock to the Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset of the Convertible Notes (Investor
Advance). The Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Pre-Paid Advance, provided that the number of shares
issued does not cause the Investor to exceed the 4.99% ownership limitation, does not exceed the Exchange Cap or the number of shares
of common stock that are registered. As a result of a Pre-Paid Advance, the amounts payable under the Convertible Notes will be offset
by such amount subject to each Investor Advance.
The Company will control the timing and amount of
any sales of shares of common stock to the Investor, except with respect to the Pre-Paid Advances. Actual sales of shares of common stock
to the Investor as a Pre-Paid Advance under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to
time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Companys common stock and determinations
by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.
The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest
to occur of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have made payment of Advances
pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty
upon five (5) trading days prior written notice to the Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which
shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all amounts owed to the Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes.
The Company and the Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor the Investor may
assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived by us
or Investor other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.
As consideration for the Investors commitment
to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid the Investor, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $30,000
and (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock as an equity fee. Further, the Company is required to pay Investor a commitment fee of $500,000
of which $250,000 shall be due and payable on the earlier of the effective date of the initial registration statement, or 60 days following
the date hereof and the remaining $250,000 shall be due and payable on the date that is 90 days following the initial due date to be paid
by the issuance of such number of common shares that is equal to the applicable portion of the commitment fee divided by the average of
the daily VWAPs of the common shares during the three trading days immediately prior to the applicable due date.
30
The SEPA contains customary representations, warranties,
conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements
were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements
and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The net proceeds under the SEPA to the Company will
depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells its shares of common stock to Investor. The Company expects that any proceeds
received from such sales to Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On September 11, 2025, the Company entered into a
letter agreement (the Letter Agreement) with YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the Investor),
pursuant to the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2025 (as may be amended, amended and restated, extended, supplemented
or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the SEPA), between the Company and the Investor.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Investor advanced
the second tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance in a principal amount of $2,000,000 (the Second Pre-Paid Advance) on September
11, 2025, in connection with the issuance by the Company of a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the Second
Note). The Investor waived the condition precedent set forth in the SEPA relating to the effectiveness of a registration statement
for the Second Pre-Paid Advance. The purchase price for the Second Note is $1,880,000 (94% of the principal amount, reflecting a 6% discount).
The Second Note has a maturity date of September 11,
2026 (as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate of 6%,
which increases to 18% upon the occurrence of an event of default (for so long as such event remains uncured). Interest is calculated
based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
The Second Note is convertible at any time into shares
of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock), at the lower of (i) $10.00 per share
(the Fixed Price) or (ii) 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion
date (the Variable Price), but not lower than the floor price of $1.00 per share (adjustable downwards to 20% of the average
VWAP for the five trading days prior to the earlier of the Registration Statement effectiveness or the six-month anniversary of the SEPA
date, or further reduced by the Company). The Fixed Price resets downwards on the 30-day anniversary of a merger transaction to the average
VWAP for the five trading days prior. Conversions are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation and the Exchange Cap (19.99%
of outstanding shares without stockholder approval). The Second Note includes customary events of default, representations, warranties,
covenants, and indemnification provisions. Upon an event of default, the Investor may accelerate the note or convert at the conversion
price. The Company may not engage in variable rate transactions while the Second Note is outstanding, subject to exceptions.
**Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan**
On August 5, 2025, the Board of Directors (the Board)
of the Company adopted the Companys 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan), which authorizes the issuance
of up to 7,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock). The Plan is
subject to approval by s shareholders within twelve (12) months of the Boards adoption date. If shareholder approval is
obtained, the Plan will become effective as of August 5, 2025. The Plan provides for the grant of various equity-based awards, including
non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights,
performance stock awards, performance unit awards, unrestricted stock awards, distribution equivalent rights, or any combination thereof.
The Plan is intended to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, and incentivizing key management employees, directors, and consultants,
and to align their interests with those of the Companys shareholders.

**Revision to Board Members**
On September 9, 2025, the Board of Directors (the
Board) of the Company approved Independent Director Agreements (each, an Director Agreement) with Eric Shuss,
Chuck Hansen, and Haggai Ravid, pursuant to which each will serve as an independent director of the Company.
Under the terms of each Director Agreement, the independent

committee chair, $5,000 for compensation committee chair and the governance committee chair; | |

|
| An annual equity grant under the Companys 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan)

As a result of the above, the Company issued 5,245
shares of common stock to Messrs Shuss, Hansen and Ravid for their service in 2025. The Director Agreements also include standard provisions
regarding indemnification, confidentiality, and compliance with applicable laws and Company policies. Each Director Agreement has an initial
term of one year, subject to renewal upon mutual agreement or election at the annual stockholder meeting.
Further, as compensation for his service as a director
prior to the Business Combination with Bannix Acquisition Corp. (Bannix), the Company entered into Compensation Agreements
(each, a Compensation Agreement) with Mr. Shuss and two other former directors who served as an independent director on
the Board of Directors of Bannix from October 2022 until July 2025. Pursuant to the Compensation Agreement, effective as of September
9, 2025, Mr. Shuss will receive a one-time lump sum compensation of $150,000, payable in cash, fully vested shares of the Companys
common stock issued under the Companys Plan, or a combination thereof, at Mr. Shuss election. If shares are elected, the

Stock Market immediately prior to the effective date of the Compensation Agreement. Mr. Shuss has elected to receive 6,556 shares of common
stock using a closing price of $11.44 as of September 8, 2025. The shares will be fully vested upon issuance but subject to resale restrictions
under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Payment or issuance will occur within 10 business days after the election (or
default to cash if no election is made within 10 business days).
33
**Consulting Agreement**
On September 26, 2025, the Company entered into a
Consulting Agreement (the CTMG Agreement) with Crypto Treasury Management Group, LLC (CTMG), pursuant to which
CTMG will provide advisory and strategic services to assist the Company in establishing a digital asset treasury reserve. The services
include, among other things, developing a crypto treasury strategy, recommending custodians, designing staking protocols (if applicable),
assisting with capital formation in collaboration with a licensed securities underwriter, and supporting regulatory and tax compliance
efforts.
The CTMG Agreement has an initial term of two years,
subject to earlier termination under certain conditions, including for convenience with 60 days notice or for material breach.
In consideration for the services, the Company has agreed to pay CTMG: (i) a retainer fee of $50,000 upon signing, which was pre-paid
as an advance on September 24, 2025, with an additional $50,000 due upon execution of binding definitive agreements related to the crypto
treasury transaction; (ii) a success fee of 17 Bitcoin (or cash equivalent) upon successful deployment of at least $20 million into crypto
assets for the Companys treasury; and (iii) 250,000 shares of the Companys common stock upon closing of the crypto treasury
transaction, subject to SEC Rule 144 restrictions and inclusion in future registration statements where applicable. The Company will also
reimburse CTMG for pre-approved reasonable expenses.
The Agreement contemplates a potential capital formation
structure of up to $300 million, with allocations into crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Solana, subject to the Companys approval
and market conditions; however, there can be no assurance that the transaction will close or that it will be consummated on the anticipated
terms or at all. In the event this strategy is successfully implemented, which is not guaranteed and depends on various factors including
managements ability to execute effectively, the Company has committed to staking a minimum of 70% of its crypto treasury assets
for at least two years, although such implementation may face challenges or fail to achieve expected outcomes due to market volatility,
regulatory changes, or other risks. CTMG will not act as a broker-dealer or engage in activities requiring such registration. The Company,
in an effort to replace its current financing structure, intends to structure the transaction and use the non-staked portion as funding
for its defense business and potentially leverage the stakeable portion for M&A activity in the defense arena, though these intentions
are forward-looking and subject to uncertainties that could prevent or alter their realization.
The CTMG Agreement includes standard provisions regarding
confidentiality, non-circumvention, independent contractor status, compliance with laws (including securities, AML/KYC, and tax regulations),
warranties, indemnification, limitation of liability, and governing law (Delaware).
The proposed adoption of a crypto reserve strategy,
including the establishment of a digital asset treasury as contemplated in the Agreement will only be implemented upon obtaining regulatory
approval, if any, from relevant authorities, including compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. Additionally, the implementation of
the crypto reserve strategy may require shareholder approval to the extent such approval is deemed necessary by the Companys board
of directors or required by regulatory bodies. The Company will ensure all necessary approvals are obtained prior to the execution of
the crypto reserve strategy and will provide further updates as required by law.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit
10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
**Key Financial Definitions/Components of Results**
**Operating Expenses**
We classify our operating expenses into the following
categories:
34
|
| General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related
expenses for our executives, consultants and advisors. These expenses also include non-personnel costs, such as office supplies, legal,
audit and accounting services and other professional fees. | |
|
| Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses include internal personnel
and third-party consulting costs related to preliminary research and development of the Companys products. | |
|
| Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of business development
professional fees, advertising and marketing costs. | |
**Critical Accounting Estimates**
Managements discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to
make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates
and assumptions can be subjective and complex and may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues, and expenses reported
in those financial statements. As a result, actual results could differ from such estimates and assumptions. Such changes to estimates
could potentially result in impacts that would be material to the consolidated financial statements.
While our significant accounting policies are described
in more detail in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that
the following accounting policies were most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial
statements.
**Basis of Presentation**
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(US GAAP) and under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
**Principles of Consolidation**
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of VisonWave Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
**Use of Estimates**
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
in conformity with US 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses
during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant
judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed
at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near
term due to one or more future confirming events. Significant estimates include assumptions made in the valuation of the options, valuation
of convertible notes and recoverability of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.
**Business Combinations**
The Company evaluates whether acquired net assets
should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially
all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.
If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies its judgement to determine whether the acquired
net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired input, process, and the ability to create
outputs.
35
The Company accounts for business combinations using
the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred
including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with
the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value
at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that does not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration
is required to be recorded at its initial fair value at the acquisition date, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the
estimated fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the
period of change.
When the initial accounting for a business combination
has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional
amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition
of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date
that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.
**Net Loss Per Share**
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing
the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding at the end of the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by giving effect
to all potential shares of common stock to the extent dilutive. For the year endedSeptember 30, 2025 and the period from March 20,
2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, the Companys diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is equal to basic weighted-average
shares, due to the Companys net loss position. No common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss
per unit since such inclusion would have been antidilutive. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive securities include the
public warrants and the convertible promissory notes.
**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income
Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information
within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Companys management does not believe the adoption
of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), requiring additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the statements
of operations. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the
face of the statements of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.
The Companys management does not believe that
any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.

**Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern**
****
****
The Companys primary sources of liquidity have
been cash from financing activities. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,108,906 as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30,
2025, working capital deficit was $11,795,728 and cash was $2,284,933.
The Company received proceeds of approximately $23,846
as a result of the Reverse Acquisition in September 2025, after giving effect to stockholder redemptions and payment of transaction expenses
in connection with the Reverse Acquisition. The Company received an additional $308,000 pursuant to the Securities Purchases agreement
entered into on February 15, 2025 and $5,000,000 pursuant to the convertible promissory note agreements issued under the Standby Equity
Purchase Agreement referenced below. The Companys future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing
and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In order to finance these opportunities,
the Company will need to raise additional financing. While there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through
issuances of additional equity. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms
acceptable to the Company or at all.
On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into the Standby
Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the Investor)
pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain
limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA, from time to time during the term of
the SEPA.
Going Concern Evaluation
Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial
doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entitys ability to meet its obligations as they
become due. The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial
statements are issued by considering the following:
On April 8, 2025, with an effective date of March
31, 2025, the Company entered into a Funding Support Agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC (Stanley Hills), the principal shareholder
of VisionWave Technologies. Pursuant to the agreement, Stanley Hills irrevocably and unconditionally committed to provide financial support
to the Company, sufficient to fund the working capital needs through December 29, 2026. The funding may be provided by Stanley Hills in
the form of direct payments to third parties, advances or intercompany loans, or capital contributions, as mutually determined by the
parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any such advances will be non-interest bearing and repayable only at such time as determined
by the Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair the Companys liquidity or ability to continue
as a going concern. The agreement may not be terminated by Stanley Hills prior to the twelve-month period from the date of release of
the financial statement.
Management has determined that the agreement with Stanley Hills, cash receipts from
customer arrangements, resource reallocation initiatives, additional insider investments and financing, along with its existing cash and
committed affiliated support related combinations alleviated the risk about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern
for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.
**Cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2025
and 2024**
The following table summarizes the Companys
cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024

during the year ended September 30, 2025 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0 during the period from March 20, 2024

by financing activities was $5,005,438 compared to net cash flow from financing activities of $1,000 during the period from March 20,
2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The period-to-period change was primarily due to proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable,
the exercise of warrants and the prior to the Reverse Acquisition.
**Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements**
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which
would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships
with entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose
of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any
special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
**Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data**
Our consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto and the report of our independent registered public accounting firm (PCOAB ID 587 ), are set forth beginning on page F-1
of this report.
**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting
and Financial Disclosure**
None
**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures**
**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual
Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective
to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the report that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
**Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**
The Companys management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable,
but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance
with U.S. accepted accounting principles. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
39
does not
expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
control systems objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected and such evaluation is subject to the risks discussed in item 1A Risk Factors
of this Report.
The Companys management assessed the effectiveness
of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2025, using the criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on managements
assessment using the above criteria, management concluded that the Company maintained ineffective internal control over financial reporting
as of September 30, 2025.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified
the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies
and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Notwithstanding
the identified material weaknesses, discussed below, management, including the certifying officers, believes that the financial statements
contained in this Report filing fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**
During the last fiscal year, there have been no changes
except as noted above in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal year that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are in the early stages of designing and implementing
a plan to remediate the material weaknesses identified. . Our plan includes the below:
|
|
|
Designing and implementing
a risk assessment process supporting the identification of risks. | |
|
|
|
Implementing systems and
controls to enhance our review of significant accounting transactions and other new technical accounting and financial reporting
issues and preparing and reviewing accounting memoranda addressing these issues. | |
|
|
|
Improving our internal
control policies and procedures to specifically address controls around segregation of duties, cybersecurity, user access reviews,
and changes in management. | |
|
|
|
Hiring additional experienced
accounting, financial reporting and internal control personnel and changing roles and responsibilities of our personnel as we transition
to being a public company and are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Section 404).
We are in the process of hiring additional resources and we are engaging with a third-party consulting firm to assist us with our
formal internal control plan and to provide accounting services related to complex accounting transactions. | |
|
|
|
Implementing controls to
enable an effective and timely review of period-end close procedures. | |
|
|
|
Implementing controls to
enable an accurate and timely review of accounting records that support our accounting processes and maintain documents for internal
accounting reviews. | |

**Family Relationships**
There are no family relationships among any of our
executive officers and directors.
**Corporate Governance**
**Board of Directors and Board Committees**
Our stock (symbol: VWAV) is listed on the NASDAQ Global
Market. Under the rules of Nasdaq, independent directors must make up a majority of a listed companys board of directors.
In addition, applicable NASDAQ rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed companys audit and
compensation committees be independent within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ rules. Audit committee members must also satisfy the
independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
Our board of directors currently consists of 5 members.
Our board of directors has determined that Eric Shuss, Chuck Hansen and Haggai Ravid qualify as independent directors in accordance with
the NASDAQ Global Market, or NASDAQ listing requirements. Nasdaqs independence definition includes a series of objective tests,
such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least 3 years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of
his or her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by NASDAQ rules, our board
of directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist that, in the opinion of our
board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making
these determinations, our board of directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us regarding each directors
business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. There are no family relationships among
any of our directors or executive officers.
As required under NASDAQ rules and regulations and
in expectation of listing on NASDAQ, our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent
directors are present.
**Board Leadership Structure and Boards Role
in Risk Oversight**
Douglas Davis is the Executive Chairman. The Chairman
has authority, among other things, to preside over the Board meetings and set the agenda for the Board meetings. Accordingly, the Chairman
has substantial ability to shape the work of our Board. We currently believe that separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer ensures appropriate oversight by the Board of our business and affairs. However, no single leadership model is right for all companies
and at all times. The Board recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as the appointment of a lead
independent director, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board may periodically review its leadership structure.
Our Board is generally responsible for the oversight
of corporate risk in its review and deliberations relating to our activities. Our principal source of risk falls into two categories,
financial and product commercialization. The audit committee oversees management of financial risks; our Board regularly reviews information
regarding our cash position, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Board regularly reviews plans, results
and potential risks related to our system-wide restaurant growth, brand awareness and menu offerings. Our Compensation Committee is expected
to oversee risk management as it relates to our compensation plans, policies and practices for all employees including executives and
directors, particularly whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
**Committees of the Board of Directors**

audit committee (the Audit Committee), a Compensation Committee (the Compensation Committee) and a Nominating

**Code of Business Conduct and Ethics**
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics
that applies to all our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting.
**Family Relationships**
There are no family relationships among our directors
and executive officers. There is no arrangement or understanding between or among our executive officers and directors pursuant to which
any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or officer.
**Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings**
To our knowledge, during the last ten years, none of our directors and
executive officers has:
|
|
|
Had a bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time. | |

describes the legal, ethical and regulatory standards that must be followed by the directors and officers of the Company and sets forth
high standards of business conduct applicable to each director and officer. As adopted, the Code of Ethics sets forth written standards

|
|
|
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics to the appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and | |
|
|

accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics. | |
**Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports**
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of our
common stock to file reports of initial ownership of common stock and other equity securities and subsequent changes in that ownership
with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of
all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written
representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 all Section 16(a) filing requirements
applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.
**Equity Award Grant Practices**
Equity awards are made by the Compensation Committee,
are discretionary and are not granted to executive officers and employees at any specific time in the year. In July 2025 the Board adopted
a Policy on Granting Equity Awards (Equity Policy). Under the Equity Policy, awards to employees shall be made on a date
when the Companys insider trading window is open (i.e., when the Company is not in possession of material non-public
information), and which is at least five business days after the most recent release of the Companys quarterly or annual earnings,
or Form 8-K Current Report that discloses material non-public information. With respect to grants made to executive officers, and new
hires who will become executive officers the Company shall not grant and/or price of stock options or other incentive securities under
any securities-based compensation arrangement of the Company during the period beginning four (4) business days before and ending one
(1) business day after the filing by the Company of a Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, Form 10-K Annual Report or Form 8-K Current Report that
discloses material non-public information (other than a current report on Form 8K disclosing a material new option award grant
under Item 5.02I of that form). Grants of stock options to new hires (other than those who will become Section 16 officers), will not
be subject to the same restrictions but will be made on the later of the date of approval of the grant by the Compensation Committee and
the date of commencement of employment.
Annual grants of equity awards to members of the Board
shall be effective within three business days after the date of the Annual Stockholders Meeting at which such Director is elected or re-elected
(subject that being in an open period in accordance with the previous paragraph). For Directors appointed other than at an Annual Stockholders
Meeting, initial grants of equity awards shall be effective on the date the Director is appointed (subject that being in an open period
in accordance with the previous paragraph).
In each case where applicable, the exercise/grant price for an award will
be equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date.
47
**Item 11. Executive Compensation**
The below table sets forth information concerning
all cash and non-cash compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to (i) all individuals serving as the Companys principal executive
officers or acting in a similar capacity during the last completed fiscal year, regardless of compensation level, and (ii) the Companys

**Compensation Recovery Policy**
****
On May 29, 2025, the Board of the Company adopted
the Compensation Recovery Policy (the Policy). The Policy was adopted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10D-1 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 5608 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Policy provides for the recovery of certain
incentive-based compensation received by current and former executive officers of the Company in the event the Company is required to
prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws.
**Employment Agreements**
****
**August 6, 2025 Agreements**
****
On August 6, 2025, the Company entered into employment
agreements with Douglas Davis (Executive Chairman), Noam Kenig (Chief Executive Officer), and Danny Rittman (Chief Technology Officer)
(collectively, the August Executives). Each agreement has an initial three-year term commencing August 6, 2025, with automatic
one-year renewals unless terminated with at least 30 days prior written notice. On December 29, 2025, Mr. Kenig resigned as Chief
Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, effective immediately for personal reasons. Mr. Kenig's resignation
was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. As
a result of Mr. Kenigs resignation Mr. Kenigs Employment Agreement was terminated. Mr. Davis was appointed as Interim Chief
Executive Officer.
Under the employment agreement, Mr. Davis receives
an initial base salary of $150,000 annually, increasing to $300,000 upon the Company achieving $3 million in revenue in any 90-day period
and to $600,000 upon achieving $6 million in such a period, with further adjustments to fair market rates thereafter. Mr. Rittman receives
an initial base salary of $120,000 annually, increasing to $240,000 upon $3 million in revenue in any 90-day period and to $360,000 upon
$6 million in such a period, with further adjustments to fair market rates. Mr. Davis and Mr. Kenig are each eligible for an annual performance
bonus targeted at 2% of the Companys net income as reflected in its SEC-filed financial statements.
48
The August Executives are entitled to four weeks of
paid vacation annually, participation in the Companys benefit plans (including medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance,
and 401(k)), and reimbursement of reasonable business expenses. Upon termination without cause or resignation for good reason, each is
entitled to severance equal to the greater of $600,000 or two times their then-current base salary, payable within six months and subject
to execution of a general release. In the event of a change in control followed by termination within three months, all outstanding equity
awards vest immediately and severance becomes payable. The agreements include standard provisions for termination for cause, death, disability,
or without good reason, with limited payments in such cases.
Each August Executive also entered into a Proprietary
Information, Inventions Assignment, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Competition Agreement, as well as a Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate.
Pursuant to these agreements and the 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan,
subject to shareholder approval), the Company granted nonstatutory stock options to Mr. Davis and Mr. Kenig to purchase 2,000,000 shares
each and to Mr. Rittman to purchase 500,000 shares. Mr. Kenigs options were terminated upon his resignation. Each option has an
exercise price of $7.20 per share (fair market value on the grant date), vests in twelve equal quarterly installments over four years
commencing on the date of shareholder approval of the Plan, is exercisable for five years from the grant date, and permits cashless exercise.
The grants are contingent upon shareholder approval of the Plan; if not approved, they become null and void.
**September 2, 2025 Agreements**
On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into employment
agreements with Elad Shoval (Chief Revenue Officer), David Allon (Chief Operating Officer), and Jaz Williman (Senior Systems Engineer
UGV) (collectively, the September Executives). Each agreement has an initial three-year term commencing September
2, 2025, with automatic one-year renewals unless terminated with at least 30 days prior written notice.
Under these agreements, Mr. Shoval and Mr. Allon each
receive an initial base salary of $120,000 annually, increasing to $240,000 upon the Company achieving $10 million in revenue in any 90-day
period and to $360,000 upon achieving $60 million in such a period, with further adjustments to fair market rates thereafter. Mr. Williman
receives an initial base salary of $120,000 annually, increasing to $200,000 upon $10 million in revenue in any 90-day period and to $300,000
upon $60 million in such a period, with further adjustments to fair market rates. Mr. Shoval is eligible for an annual performance bonus
targeted at 0.05% of the Companys net revenue as reflected in its financial statements, Mr. Allon at 0.5% of net income, and Mr.
Williman at 0.35% of net income.
The benefits, severance, change-in-control, and other
termination provisions for the September Executives are identical to those for the August Executives.
Each September Executive also entered into a Proprietary
Information, Inventions Assignment, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Competition Agreement, as well as a Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate.
Pursuant to these agreements and the Plan (subject
to shareholder approval), the Company granted non-statutory stock options to Mr. Shoval and Mr. Allon to purchase 500,000 shares each
and to Mr. Williman to purchase 250,000 shares. Each option has an exercise price of $9.09 per share (fair market value on the grant date),
with vesting, exercisability, and contingency terms identical to those for the August Executives options.

**Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
and Related Stockholder Matters**
The
following table sets forth information as of December 30, 2025, as to each person or group
who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding voting securities
and as to the security and percentage ownership of each of our executive officers and directors
and of all of our officers and directors as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined under
the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except
in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table,
we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment
power over all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder. Shares
of Common Stock that are currently exercisable or convertible within 60 days of December
30, 2025 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the
purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of that person, but are not treated
as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each stockholder is c/o VisionWave Holdings,
Inc. at 300 Delaware Avenue, Suite 210 #301, Wilmington, Delaware 19801.
The beneficial ownership of VisionWaves Common
Stock is based on 15,016,603 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following consummation of the Business Combination.
References to common stock in the table below and its related footnotes are to the VisionWaves Common Stock.

Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid in full.

parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any such advances will be non-interest bearing and repayable only at such time as determined
by the Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair the Companys liquidity or ability to continue
as a going concern. The agreement may not be terminated by Stanley Hills prior to the twelve-month period from the date of release of
the financial statement.
Under the deferment agreements, all amounts owed
to the Sponsor and its affiliates, including promissory notes, administrative support fees, and advances due only after any Pre-Paid

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM**
****
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
VisionWave Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
**Opinion on the Financial Statements**
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VisionWave
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from March 20, 2024
(inception) to September 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion,
the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September
30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from
March 20, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
**Basis for Opinion**
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys consolidated financial statements
based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we
engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

asset acquisitions, stock purchases, reorganization or similar business combinations with one or more businesses (Business Combination).
Prior to the succession of Bannix by VW Holdings,
on March 26, 2024, Bannix entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the Original Agreement), by and among Bannix, VisionWave
Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (Target or VW Tech.) and the shareholders of Target.
On September 6, 2024, Bannix entered into a Merger
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Merger Agreement), by and among Bannix, VisionWave Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Bannix (VW Holdings), BNIX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave (Parent Merger Sub), BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation
and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave (Company Merger Sub), and Target.
On July 14, 2025, Bannix closed its proposed merger
with VisionWave Technologies Inc.
**Note 2Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern**
The Companys primary sources of liquidity have
been cash from financing activities. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,108,906 as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30,
2025, working capital deficit was $11,795,728 and cash was $2,284,933.
The Company received proceeds of approximately $23,846
as a result of the Reverse Acquisition in September 2025, after giving effect to stockholder redemptions and payment of transaction expenses
in connection with the Reverse Acquisition. The Company received an additional $308,000 pursuant to the Securities Purchases agreement
entered into on February 15, 2025 and $5,000,000 pursuant to the convertible promissory note agreements issued under the Standby Equity
Purchase Agreement referenced below. The Companys future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing
and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In order to finance these opportunities,
the Company will need to raise additional financing. While there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through
issuances of additional equity. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms
acceptable to the Company or at all.
On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into the Standby
Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the Investor)
pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain
limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA, from time to time during the term of
the SEPA.
**Going Concern Evaluation**
Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial
doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entitys ability to meet its obligations as they
become due. The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial
statements are issued by considering the following:
On April 8, 2025, with an effective date of March
31, 2025, the Company entered into a Funding Support Agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC (Stanley Hills), the principal shareholder
of VisionWave Technologies. Pursuant to the agreement, Stanley Hills irrevocably and unconditionally committed to provide financial support
to the Company, sufficient to fund the working capital needs through December 29, 2026. The funding may be provided by Stanley Hills in
the form of direct payments to third parties, advances or intercompany loans, or capital contributions, as mutually determined by the
parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any such advances will be non-interest bearing and repayable only at such time as determined
by the Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair the Companys liquidity or ability to continue
as a going concern. The agreement may not be terminated by Stanley Hills prior to the twelve-month period from the date of release of
the financial statement.
Management has determined that the agreement with Stanley Hills, cash receipts from
customer arrangements, resource reallocation initiatives, additional insider investments and financing, along with its existing cash and
committed affiliated support related combinations alleviated the risk about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern
for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.
**Note 3Significant Accounting Policies**
**Basis of Presentation**
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(US GAAP) and under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
F-7
**Principles of Consolidation**
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of VisionWave Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
**Segment Reporting**
The Company complies with ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting
(Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which improves reportable segment disclosure
requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses among other disclosure requirements.
**Emerging Growth Company Status**
The Company is an emerging growth company,
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the Securities Act), as modified by the Jumpstart
our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the JOBS Act), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being
required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations
regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding
advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts
emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that
is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company
can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but
any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that
when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison
of the Companys financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth
company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting
standards used.
**Use of Estimates**
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements
in conformity with US 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses
during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is
at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date
of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to
one or more future confirming events. Significant estimates include assumptions made in the valuation of the options, valuation of convertible
notes and recoverability of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.
**Concentration of Credit Risk**
Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository
Insurance Coverage of $250,000. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $1,774,899 and $0 deposits in excess of the Federal Depository
Insurance Coverage, respectively. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.
F-8
**Business Combinations**
The Company evaluates whether acquired net assets
should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially
all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.
If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies its judgement to determine whether the acquired
net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired input, process, and the ability to create
outputs.
The Company accounts for business combinations using
the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred
including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired
and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with
the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value
at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that does not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration
is required to be recorded at its initial fair value at the acquisition date, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the
estimated fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the
period of change.
When the initial accounting for a business combination
has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional
amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition
of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date
that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.
The Company accounts for certain business combinations
that meet the definition of a reverse merger (also referred to as a reverse recapitalization) in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations,
and ASC 810, Consolidation. A reverse merger occurs when the legal acquirer is determined to be the accounting acquiree, and the legal
acquiree is determined to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly:
|
| No
goodwill or intangible assets are recorded | |
|
| The
transaction is treated as a capital transaction in substance | |
|
| The
accounting acquirers assets and liabilities are carried forward at their historical
carrying amounts | |
|
| The
accounting acquirees net assets are recognized at fair value, if applicable | |
**Cash and Cash Equivalents**
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts
in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of
September 30, 2025 and 2024.
I**nvestments**
****
****
The Company from time to time invests in equity securities. All marketable
equity securities held by the Company are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 320,
*Investments* - Debt and Equity Securities. The Company accounts for available-for-sale equity investments at fair
value. From time to time, if the Company determines that the available market price of an available for sale investments is not a reasonable
indicator of the fair value, the Company will determine the best estimate of that fair value which is usually the cost.
**Fair Value of Financial Instruments**
The fair value of the Companys cash, current
assets and current liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, due to their
short-term nature.
Fair value is defined as the price which would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
A three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included
in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds,
credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining
the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entitys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
As of September 30, 2025, other than the convertible
notes discussed below, the Company did not hold any financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring or
nonrecurring basis.
**Convertible notes payable**
The Company follows FASB ASC
480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480"), when evaluating the accounting for its convertible instruments. A
financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share that embodies
a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares shall be classified as
a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly
on any one of the following: (a) a fixed monetary amount known at inception; (b) variations in something other than the fair value of
the issuers equity shares; or (c) variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuers equity shares.
Convertible note instruments meeting these criteria are not further evaluated for any embedded derivatives and are carried as a liability
at fair value at each balance sheet date.
For convertible debt instruments
that are not considered liabilities under ASC 480 or ASC 815, the Company applies FASB ASC 470, Debt ("ASC 470"), for the accounting
of such instruments, including any premiums or discounts.
**Offsetting Balances**
In accordance with ASC Topic 210 Balance Sheet,
the Companys accounting policy is to offset assets and liabilities when a right of offset exist. Accordingly, the consolidated
balance sheets include transactions with affiliated parties on a net basis.
F-9
**Research and Development Cost**
The Company accounts for research and development
cost (R&D) in accordance with ASC Topic 730, Research and Development. R&D represents costs are expensed
as incurred.
**Revenue Recognition**
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
ASC Topic 606, *Revenue from Contracts*. The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve the core principle, the Company applied the following five-step model
that requires entities to exercise judgment:
(1) Identify the contracts or agreements with a customer:
The purchase order is considered to be the contract with the customer. The Companys revenue is derived from the customer orders
evidenced by the contract with the customer.
(2) Identifying the performance obligations in the
contract or agreement: The contract with the customer contains a single performance obligation: fulfillment of the customers order.
(3) Determine the transaction price: The Companys
arrangements pursuant to the contract require a full prepayment from the customer at a fixed price before the shipment of products. The
transaction price is the amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive.
(4) Allocate the transaction price to the separate
performance obligations: All transaction prices are allocated to the single performance obligation.
(5) Recognize revenue as each performance obligation
is satisfied: This performance obligation is satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which occurred upon
completion of the customers live testing.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts
when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its
clients.
During the years ending September 30, 2025 and 2024,
no revenue was recorded.
**Cost of Goods Sold**
The Companys cost of goods sold is comprised of costs related to its
commercial revenue, including the cost of sourcing the equipment for sale. During the years ending September 30, 2025 and 2024, no cost
of goods sold was recorded.
**Net Loss Per Share**
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing
the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential
shares of common stock to the extent dilutive. For the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to
September 30, 2024, the Companys diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is equal to basic weighted-average shares, due to
the Companys net loss position. No common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss per unit since
such inclusion would have been antidilutive. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive securities include the public warrants
and the convertible promissory notes.
**Income Taxes**
The Company follows the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included
the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
**Commitments and Contingencies**
In the normal course of business,
the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, which cover a wide range
of matters, including, among others, government investigations, shareholder lawsuits, and non-income tax matters.
An accrual for a loss contingency
is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If a potential
material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent
liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed.
**Related party and related-party transactions**
****
Related parties, which can
be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other
party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered
to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder,
or a related corporation.
Transactions involving related
parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arms-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market
dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions
were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arms-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due to or from related parties due to their related-party nature.
F-10
**Income Taxes**
The Company follows the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included
the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by
taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax
expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2025 and 2024. Interest and penalties as of $35,065
and $0 was accrued for the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, respectively. The
Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation
from its position.
**Deferred Offering Costs**
****
Deferred offering costs, which
consist of direct and incremental legal, accounting, consulting, printing, and other third-party fees related to the Companys issuance
of shares, are capitalized as assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred offering costs will be offset against proceeds from
the offering upon issuance of shares.
**Advertising and Promotion**
****
All costs associated with *advertising*and promoting products are expensed as incurred.
**Stock Based Compensation**
The Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation
Stock Compensation regarding shares granted to directors, officers and vendors of the Company by measuring the grant date fair value of
the award and recognizing the resulting expense over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for
the award. Equity-based compensation expense is only recognized for awards subject to performance conditions if it is probable that the
performance condition will be achieved. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.
**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income
Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information
within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Companys management does not believe the adoption
of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), requiring additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the statements
of operations. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the
face of the statements of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.
The Companys management does not believe that
any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
**Note 4 Recapitalization**
As outlined in Note 1, the Company consummated the
Reverse Acquisition with VisionWave Technologies on July 14, 2025.
Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms set forth
in the Merger Agreement, (a)Parent Merger Sub merged with and into Bannix, with Bannix continuing as the surviving entity (the Parent
Merger), as a result of which, (i)Bannix became a wholly owned subsidiary of VW Holdings, and (ii)each issued and outstanding
share of Bannix immediately prior to the effective time of the Parent Merger (the Parent Merger Effective Time) (other than
shares of Bannix Common Stock that have been redeemed or are owned by Bannix or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as treasury
shares and any Dissenting Parent Shares) was automatically cancelled in exchange for one share of common stock, par value $0.001 of VW
Holdings, each Bannix Warrant automatically converted into one warrant to purchase shares of VW Holdings Common Stock on substantially
the same terms and conditions and each Bannix Right automatically converted into the number of shares of VW Holdings Common Stock that
would have been received by the holder of such Bannix Right if it had been converted upon the consummation of a Business Combination in
accordance with Bannixs organizational document and, (b)immediately following the consummation of the Parent Merger but on
the same day, Company Merger Sub merged with and into Target, with Target continuing as the surviving entity (the Company Merger
and, together with the Parent Merger, the Mergers), as a result of which, (i)Target became a wholly owned subsidiary
of VW Holdings, and (ii)each issued and outstanding security of Target immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger
(the Company Merger Effective Time) (other than any cancelled Shares or dissenting shares) were no longer be outstanding
and were automatically cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VW Holdings.
The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the Reverse Acquisition.
F-11
The Merger Agreement contained representations, warranties
and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type, including, among others, covenants providing
for (i) certain limitations on the operation of the parties respective businesses prior to consummation of the Business Combination,
(ii) the parties efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Business Combination, including by obtaining any necessary
approvals from governmental agencies, (iii) prohibitions on the parties soliciting alternative transactions, (iv) VW Holdings preparing
and filing a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and taking certain
other actions to obtain the requisite approval of Bannixs stockholders to vote in favor of certain matters, including the adoption
of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, at a special meeting to be called for the approval of such matters,
and (v) the protection of, and access to, confidential information of the parties. On May 5, 2025, the SEC declared the Companys
registration statement on Form S-4 to be effective.
As described in the Merger Agreement, VW Holdings
has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse
recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Bannix, who is the legal acquirer, was treated as the acquired
company for financial reporting purposes and VisionWave Technologies Inc. was treated as the accounting acquirer. VisionWave Technologies
Inc. has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under the redemption
scenarios:
|
| VisionWave Technologies Inc.s existing stockholders had more than
69% of the voting interest of VW Holdings under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios; | |
|
| VisionWave Technologies Inc.s senior management comprises the senior
management of VW Holdings Inc.;the directors nominated by VisionWave Technologies represent the majority of the board of directors
of VW Holdings Inc.; | |
|
| VisionWave Technologies Inc.s operations comprises the ongoing operations
of VW Holdings Inc. | |
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse
Acquisition was treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which VisionWave technologies Inc. is issuing stock for the net
assets of Bannix. The net assets of Bannix were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations
prior to the Reverse Acquisition were those of VisionWave Technologies, Inc.
*Transaction Proceeds*
Upon closing of the Reverse Acquisition, the Company
acquired cash of $1,169,746 as a result of the Reverse Acquisition, and paid total transaction costs of $1,145,900. The following

**Note 6 Excise Tax Payable**
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of
2022 (the IR Act) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a 1% federal excise tax on certain
repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations
occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which
shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of
the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value
of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions
apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the Treasury) has been given authority to provide regulations
and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice
2023-2, which provided clarification on some aspects of the application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a publicly
traded U.S. corporation completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such
corporation in the same taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to
the excise tax. Although such notice clarifies certain aspects of the excise tax, the interpretation and operation of aspects of the excise
tax (including its application and operation with respect to SPACs) remain unclear and such interim operating rules are subject to change.
Because the application of this excise tax is not
entirely clear, any redemption or other repurchase effected by the Company, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote
or otherwise, may be subject to this excise tax. Because any such excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming
holders, it could cause a reduction in the value of the Companys Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate
a Business Combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent the Company would be
subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the structure of
the Business Combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, (iii)
the nature and amount of any PIPE or other equity issuances in connection with the Business Combination (or any other equity
issuances within the same taxable year of the Business Combination) and (iv) the content of any subsequent regulations, clarifications,
and other guidance issued by the Treasury. Further, the application of the excise tax in respect of distributions pursuant to a liquidation
of a publicly traded U.S. corporation is uncertain and has not been addressed by the Treasury in regulations, and it is possible that
the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be used to pay any excise tax owed by the Company in the event the Company is unable to complete
a Business Combination in the required time and redeem 100% of the remaining Class A common stock in accordance with the Companys
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the amount that would otherwise be received by the public stockholders
in connection with the Companys liquidation would be reduced.
Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after
December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and
to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would
depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business
Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any PIPE or other equity
issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination, but issued within
the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition,
because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise
tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and
in the Companys ability to complete a Business Combination.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Internal
Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. These regulations provided that the
filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 would be October 31,
2024. Any amount of such excise tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated
at 8% interest per annum, a 0.5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount
that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full, and a failure to file penalty of 5% per month.

(a) the date of the consummation of Bannixs initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of Bannixs liquidation. On December
26, 2024 and amended on May 27, 2025, Bannix entered into an agreement to defer payment of the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes. Under
the deferment agreement, these amounts will not become payable until any Pre-Paid Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid
in full (See Note 9). The balance of $1,003,995 was assumed at the close of the Reverse Acquisition. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024,

Convertible Notes) an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the Pre-Paid Advance). The first
Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 25, 2025 with respect to $3.0 million
and the balance of $2.0 million
was disbursed on September 11, 2025 upon the registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable
under the SEPA being declared effective. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid Advance is 94% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid
Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an
increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date is 12-months after the closing of
each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. The Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares ofthe
Companyscommon stockat a conversion price equal to the lower of $10.00 or
93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (the Conversion
Price), which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than $1.00 (the

VWAP for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the earlier of (i) date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (ii)
the six-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may reduce the Floor Price to any
amounts set forth in a written notice to the Holder; provided that such reduction shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to

Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (Floor Price Trigger), or (ii) the Company
has issued in excess of 99% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap, where applicable ( Exchange Cap Trigger
and collectively with the Floor Price Trigger, the Trigger), then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning
on the seventh trading day after the Trigger and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus an 5.0% premium and accrued and unpaid
interest. The Exchange Cap Trigger will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders in accordance
with the rules of Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible
Note and the SEPA in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date
of the SEPA (the Exchange Cap).
The Convertible Notes is a legal debt obligation
with a variable-share conversion feature that ensures a fixed monetary return to the holder, thus qualifying as a liability under ASC
480-10. the Note remains a liability after issuance and the instrument is remeasured after initial recognition, with changes in fair
value recognized in earnings each reporting period until settlement, modification, or extinguishment, consistent with the liability-classified
model. As of September 30, 2025, the par value of the notes was $5,000,000 and the fair value of the notes was $4,552,653. For the year
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, total interest expense $39,288
and $0
was included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, respectively.
The Convertible notes were valued using unobservable inputs
that are not corroborated by market data (Level 3). The valuation is based on Monte Carlo Simulation to simulate weekly stock prices
through maturity. The enterprise value is then allocated to each class of outstanding shares and convertible notes based on an option
pricing model where the value for each class is driven by the current value and expected volatility of the underlying equity value.

**Note
11 Commitment and Contingencies**
**Standby Equity
Purchase Agreement**
On July 25, 2025, the
Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership
(the Investor) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $50
million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set
forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA.
F-17
Upon the satisfaction
of the conditions to the Investors purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering
the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have the right, but
not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct Investor to purchase a specified number
of shares of common stock (Advance) by delivering written notice to Investor (Advance Notice). While there
is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during
the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice.
The shares of common
stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of
the shares of common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other
than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance
Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below
which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to Investor. VWAP is defined as the daily volume weighted average
price of the shares of common stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg
L.P.
In connection with
the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, Investor advanced to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes
(the Convertible Notes) an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the Pre-Paid Advance) (See Note 9).
The Investor, in its
sole discretion and providing that there is a balance remaining outstanding under the Convertible Notes, may deliver a notice under the
SEPA requiring the issuance and sale of shares of common stock to the Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset
of the Convertible Notes (Investor Advance). The Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Pre-Paid
Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause the Investor to exceed the 4.99% ownership limitation, does not exceed
the Exchange Cap or the number of shares of common stock that are registered. As a result of a Pre-Paid Advance, the amounts payable
under the Convertible Notes will be offset by such amount subject to each Investor Advance.
The Company will control
the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to the Investor, except with respect to the Pre-Paid Advances. Actual sales
of shares of common stock to the Investor as a Pre-Paid Advance under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by
the Company from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Companys common
stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.
The SEPA will automatically
terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall
have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000.
The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days prior written notice to the Investor,
provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all
amounts owed to the Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes. The Company and the Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by
mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor the Investor may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the SEPA,
and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived by us or Investor other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.
As consideration
for the Investors commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid the Investor, (i) a
structuring fee in the amount of $30,000 and
(ii) 200,000 shares
of common stock as an equity fee. Further, the Company is required to pay Investor a commitment fee of $500,000 of
which $250,000 shall
be due and payable on the earlier of the effective date of the initial registration statement, or 60 days following the date hereof
and the remaining $250,000 shall be due and payable on the date that is 90 days following the initial due date to be paid by the
issuance of such number of common shares that is equal to the applicable portion of the commitment fee divided by the average of the
daily VWAPs of the common shares during the three trading days immediately prior to the applicable due date. The total consideration
of $1,350,000 is
recorded as general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2025 and is inclusive of fair value if
$470,000 of
the 200,000 shares
issued and $350,000 consulting fees. At September 30, 2025, $390,000 of
the commitment fee is unpaid and included in accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets.
F-18
The SEPA contains customary
representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants
contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of
the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The net proceeds under
the SEPA to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells its shares of common stock to Investor. The
Company expects that any proceeds received from such sales to Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The SEPA fails the fixed-for-fixed equity
classification test due to the Exchange Cap requiring shareholder approval, which constitutes a variable settlement contingency outside
the issuers control. Therefore, equity classification under ASC 815-40 is precluded, and the SEPA must be accounted for as a liability
(or derivative liability, as applicable). While the SEPA has an underlying (the issuers stock price) and a notional amount (the
$50 million commitment), it does not meet the third characteristic of a derivative because it requires more than a nominal initial net
investment (e.g., the $5 million Pre-Paid Advance in two tranches and related fees). Therefore, the SEPA does not meet the definition
of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83. Accordingly, the SEPA should be recorded as non-derivative liability requiring ongoing fair value
remeasurement. As of September 30, 2025, based on management assumptions the SEPA liability was zero.
**Joint Venture**
On August 25, 2025,
the Company entered into a Strategic Joint Venture Agreement (the AIPHEX Agreement) with AIPHEX LTD (AIPHEX),
GBT Tokenize Corp. (TOKENIZE), and GBT Technologies, Inc. (GBT). Pursuant to the AIPHEX Agreement, the parties
agreed to form a joint venture limited liability company in the State of Nevada (the JV LLC) for the purpose of collaborating
on certain designated defense and technology projects (the Designated Projects and Background IP). At September 30, 2025,
the JV LLC was neither formed nor funded.
**Memorandum of Understanding**
On September 2, 2025,
the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the MoU) with VEDA Aeronautics Private Limited (VEDA),
a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, of India.
Pursuant to the MoU,
the Company and VEDA intend to collaborate on several Indian Ministry of Defense (MoD) procurement programs (the Programs),
including but not limited to: (a) Drone Kill System (Make-2) interceptor drone development; (b) ALTV (New Generation Light Tank)
357 tanks, with Company subsystems proposed as onboard modules; (c) FRCV (Main Battle Tank Program) 1,770 main battle
tanks; and (d) T72/T90 Retrofit Program for tanks. Under the MoU, VEDA has invited the Company to supply and develop core subsystems,
including counter-UAS systems, tactical drones, radar technologies, advance protection systems (APS) systems, sensor fusion technologies,
and unmanned platforms for defense and homeland security applications. The parties intend to collaborate in technical proposals, demonstrations,
and joint pursuit of contracts for these Programs.
**Contingent Commission

**Litigation**
From time to time,
the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims or disputes in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously
in all such matters but cannot predict the outcome or effect of any potential litigation, claims or disputes.
On September 5, 2025,
Better Works LLC filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, captioned Better Works LLC v. VisionWave
Holdings, Inc. and Douglas E. Davis, Index No. 655268/2025. The Summons with Notice asserts claims for breach of contract and seeks (i)
a declaratory judgment regarding affiliate status and the applicability or expiration of certain lock-up provisions relating to private-placement
units exchanged in connection with the Companys business combination, (ii) injunctive relief permitting the plaintiff to sell
such units, and (iii) monetary damages in an amount to be determined. Service of process addressed to VisionWaves Delaware registered
agent was recorded as received on September 9, 2025. On September 30, 2025, counsel for the Company and Mr. Davis served a demand for
the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3012(b), expressly reserving all defenses, including objections to service and personal jurisdiction.
As of the date of this Report, no complaint has been served on the defendants. The Company believes the asserted claims are without merit
and intends to defend the matter vigorously.
Except as described
above, the Company is not a party to any other pending legal proceedings that management believes, individually or in the aggregate,
would have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition, or results of operations.
**Note
12 Stockholders Deficit**
**Preferred Stock**
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000
shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01
per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined
from time to time by the Companys board of directors. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock
issued or outstanding.
**Common Stock**
The Company is authorized to issue 150,000,000
shares of common stock with par value of $0.01
each. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were 14,521,094
and 11,000,000
shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, respectively.
**Warrants**
As part of the Bannix
IPO, Bannix issued 6,900,000
warrants to third-party investors where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one share of the Companys Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50
per share (the Public Warrants). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO,
Bannix completed the private sale of 406,000
Private Placement warrants where each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of
the Companys Class A common stock at $11.50
per share.
Bannix accounted for
the 6,900,000
warrants issued in connection with the IPO and private placement in accordance with the guidance
contained in ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging whereby under that provision, the Private Warrants did not meet the
criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability. Accordingly, Bannix classified the Private Warrants as a liability at
fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. The Public Warrants met the classification for equity treatment.
The warrants became
exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of this offering or upon completion of its initial Business Combination and will
expire five years after the completion of Reverse Acquisition, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Once the warrants become
exercisable, the Company may redeem the warrants:
|
| in whole
and not in part; | |
|
| at a price
of $0.01
per warrant; | |
|
| upon not
less than 30 days prior written notice of redemption, to each warrant holder; and | |
F-20
|
| if, and
only if, the reported last sale price of the Public Shares equals or exceeds $18.00
per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions,
share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third
trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. | |
|
| if, and
only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the issuance
of the shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day
trading period referred to above and continuing each day until the date of redemption. | |
At the time of the
Reverse Acquisition, The Private Placement Warrants became identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Bannix
IPO. The Private Placement Warrants were classified as Equity upon close of the Reverse Acquisition. During the year ended September
2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, 1008 and 0 warrants were exercised. At September 30,
2025, there were 7,304,992 warrants
outstanding.
**Conversion of
public and private rights**
On July 14, 2025, at
the close of the Reverse Acquisition, 6,900,000
public rights and 406,000
private rights under Bannix were converted for Common shares on a ten-to-one basis.
**Stock based compensation**
*Omnibus Equity Incentive
Plan*
On August 5, 2025,
the Board of Directors (the Board) of Bannix adopted Bannixs 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan),
which authorizes the issuance of up to 7,000,000
shares of Bannixs common stock, par value $0.01
per share (the Common Stock). The Plan is subject to approval by Bannixs
shareholders within twelve (12) months of the Boards adoption date. If shareholder approval is obtained, the Plan will become
effective as of August 5, 2025. The Plan provides for the grant of various equity-based awards, including non-qualified stock options,
incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance stock awards,
performance unit awards, unrestricted stock awards, distribution equivalent rights, or any combination thereof. The Plan is intended
to assist Bannix in attracting, retaining, and incentivizing key management employees, directors, and consultants, and to align their
interests with those of Bannixs shareholders.
*Stock Options*
On August 6, 2025
and September 2, 2025, the Company entered into several employment agreements, pursuant to which the Company granted 6,350,000 options
to employees with vesting periods of 4 years
and exercise price of $7.2 and

**Note
13 Gain on Sale of Marketable Securities**
On June 4, 2024, VW
Tech invested in 10 million shares Avant Technologies, Inc. (AVAI). On February 28, 2025 and March 5, 2025, VW Tech sold
264,112
of AVAI shares for net proceeds of $114,111
for a total gain of $104,656 on sale of marketable securities. On April 28, 2025, the Company
sold its remaining holding of 9,735,888
shares of AVAI, which were recorded at par value of $0.001
per share to a third party in exchange for 280,534
shares of Tofla Megaline Inc. (TFML). The Company determined that the quoted
price of the TFLM shares was not a reliable indicator of fair value at the measurement date as the historical price data indicates that
TFLM shares consistently reflected zero daily trading volume over an extended period. Therefore, the Company measured the TFLM shares
received at par value of $0.001 per share, which was deemed the most reliable and supportable estimate of fair value at the transaction
date under ASC 820.
As a result of this non-cash exchange, the Company recognized
a loss on sale of the 9,735,888
share of AVAI of approximately $9,455.
The total gain on sale of AVAI shares of $104,656
is recorded in the recorded as gain on sale of marketable securities on the consolidated
statements of operations. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the total par value of TFML shares of $281
and $0,
is recorded as investment in marketable securities available for share on the consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result primarily
from temporary differences in the recognition of various expenses for tax and financial statement purposes, and from the recognition of
the tax benefits of net operating loss carryforwards.
The Companys net deferred tax assets (liability)
at September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

The Companys
net operating loss carryforward as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $728,566
and $69,745,
will be carried forward indefinitely.
In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets,
management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary
differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the
information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax
assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the year ended September 30 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024
(inception) to September 30, 2024, the change in the valuation allowance was $1,276,805 and $69,745, respectively.

**Note
15 Segment Information**
ASC Topic 280 establishes
standards for companies to report financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and
major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available
that is regularly evaluated by the Companys chief operating decision maker (CODM), or group, in deciding how to
allocate resources and assess performance.
The CODM has been identified
as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources
and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment
and decides how to allocate resources based on operating loss that also is reported on the consolidated statements of operations. The
measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Companys performance
and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

The key metrics included in segment profit or loss
reviewed by the CODM are operating costs. The CODM reviews operating costs to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available
to meet operational needs and fund research and development efforts. The CODM also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce
all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

Share Purchase Agreement**
On December 15, 2025, in connection with the closing
of the Acquisition (as defined below), the Company (or Buyer) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the Amendment)
to the Share Purchase Agreement dated as of December 3, 2025 (the Agreement), with BladeRanger Ltd., a company organized
under the laws of Israel and listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the ticker BLRN (Seller), and Solar
Drone Ltd., an Israeli corporation (the Target Company).
Pursuant to the Amendment, Section 2.2 of the Agreement
was amended to provide that, in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target Company (the Company Shares),
the Company shall issue and deliver to the Seller (or its designee(s)): (a) 1,500,000 shares of the Companys common stock, $0.01

to be issued within two Business Days following the effectiveness of such registration statement.
The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately
