News Explained
Municipal expansion is progressing unevenly: one city contract is onboarding, while another government-funded deal appears unlikely to close after further term negotiations.
The update places one contract with a major international city in the signed-and-onboarding stage, while a U.S. government-funded contract remains under negotiation and now appears unlikely to close; Bond says lower setup and service costs would offset the lost revenue in its 2026 cash flow.
Bond says it is currently onboarding in two cities—one serving municipal employees in a city of over

(“Bond”) (NASDAQ: OBAI), the creator of the world’s first AI-powered Preventative Personal Security platform adopted by leading multinational companies, today provided a business update and reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026 ended June 30, 2026. The Company will host a live webinar today, August 14, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, which will be available by accessing the following link: https://ourbond.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zwNhC6G4TD-r0F-_jD7gOA#/registration.
Second Quarter 2026 Business Highlights:
- Continued investment in growth: New hires, lead generation, market awareness via tradeshows, media relations, and ads.
- Continued to win new customers in new sectors, including selection by a top-5 global venture capital firm introducing Bond across its portfolio companies, cities, and gaming companies.
- Growing momentum selling to cities internationally, who are buying the service on behalf of residents and/or city workers, including a city purchasing Bond licenses for all of its approximately 270,000 residents. Bond is recognized as a sole supplier, faces no competition, and is receiving significant market accolades.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights:
- Strengthened balance sheet, with cash and cash equivalents of
$5.2 million as of June 30, 2026, an increase of approximately37% from March 31, 2026. - Improved operating performance, with net loss narrowing approximately
28% and operating expenses declining approximately41% compared to the first quarter of 2026. - Strengthened capital structure, converting approximately
$3.3 million of debt to equity at an approximately 4x premium to market price at the time, and renewing access to up to$3 million of non-dilutive working capital through a low-interest credit facility. $2.5 million in total bookings, reflecting durable enterprise demand, strong renewal activity and deepening customer engagement.
“The first half of 2026 was a continued transition from focusing on going public to focusing on growth across various dimensions that are expected to yield in the second half of 2026, but mostly in 2027. In addition, we continue to experience an ability to win very large corporate accounts – now catalyzed by the remarkable EY (Ernst Young) Bond ROI research – and a growing momentum and resonance with cities who buy the service on behalf of all residents and/or city workers,” said Doron Kempel, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bond.
“We have also demonstrated our ability to raise capital to fund our growth strategy in a way that is sensitive to dilution, as shown by our strengthening our cash position by approximately
“The addressable market for preventative personal security is massive, and Bond’s platform has been built to support a significant global end-user base. Our objective now is to drive greater utilization of that infrastructure as we onboard additional customers and expand deployments with existing enterprise clients. Our deal pipeline has never been stronger, and we are already seeing increased interest from both existing and new customers following the release of the EY study that highlighted the significant cost savings Bond brings.”
“To that end, we’d like to update on two contracts we were awarded in June. One, with a major international city of over 1,000,000 residents, has been signed and is beginning onboarding. The second, a U.S. government funded contract, is subject to further negotiations around terms like insurance coverage and payment terms, and while those negotiations are ongoing the deal now appears unlikely to close as we do not want to set a precedent for risky or economically inefficient deals. This is unlikely to change our 2026 cash flow, as the lost revenue would be offset by a decrease in costs that were projected to set up and serve the deal.”
“I’d like to expand a little on Bond’s increasing traction with municipalities. We are currently onboarding in 2 cities; the aforementioned city of 1,000,000 residents which has purchased for its municipal employees, and a second international city that has purchased the service for all 250,000 plus residents. We are also in active dialogues with 8 additional cities who are interested in similar deals. Bond is offering these decision makers a new paradigm – instead of making
“We believe preventative personal security, for companies, municipalities, and consumers, represents a significant global market opportunity, and we believe Bond is and will continue to be the category leader as the market grows.”
