[10-Q/A] VisionWave Holdings, Inc. Amended Quarterly Earnings Report
VisionWave Holdings (VWAV) filed an amended Q2 2025 10‑Q to reflect its July 14, 2025 business combination with VisionWave Technologies and Bannix Acquisition Corp., accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Because the merger closed after the period, the results presented reflect Bannix’s historical operations through June 30, 2025; VW Tech will be consolidated beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2025.
For Q2 2025, the company reported a net loss of $434,294 and a six‑month net loss of $861,759. As of June 30, 2025, total assets were $1,173,459 (including $1,168,644 in the Trust Account), total liabilities were $7,515,898, redeemable common stock was $608,298, and stockholders’ deficit was $(6,950,737). Cash was $885, and the working capital deficit was $6,287,377.
Shareholder redemptions continued ahead of the merger, including 83,313 shares for $972,722 approved on May 22, 2025 and paid in July. Following closing, Common Stock (VWAV) and Warrants (VWAVW) trade on Nasdaq. As of November 4, 2025, 14,996,603 common shares were issued and outstanding.

Explanatory Note:
This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of VisionWave Holdings Inc. for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (the “Original Report”) is being filed solely to include the separate financial statements of VisionWave Holdings Inc. (the accounting acquirer) and Bannix Acquisition Corp. (the legal acquirer) for periods prior to their business combination, as required by Rule 15-01(e) of Regulation S-X.
On July 14, 2025, VisionWave Technologies Inc. (“VW Tech”) completed its business combination with Bannix Acquisition Corp. (“Bannix”) pursuant to a double-dummy merger structure. The business combination, consummated on July 14, 2025, was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under ASC 805-40. As part of the transaction, both VW Tech and Bannix became wholly owned subsidiaries of a newly formed parent company, VisionWave Holdings Inc. (“the Company”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed by VisionWave Holdings Inc. under its current name and CIK. However, because the business combination closed after the period covered by this report (June 30, 2025), the financial statements and related disclosures presented herein reflect the historical operations of Bannix Acquisition Corp. The operations of VW Tech will be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning with the Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2025.
Except as described above, conforming related references in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Index to Financial Statements, and updating Note 11—Subsequent Events,this Amendment does not modify, update, or amend any other information set forth in the Original Report and does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report.

F-9
Prior to the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date, management of the Company, representing a majority of the Company’s stockholders, held a meeting with the trustee of the Trust Account to request the Trust Account not be liquidated due to the pending regulatory approval of the proposed Business Combination, discussed below. The trustee exercised administrative authority and agreed to the temporary extension of the Deadline Date pending a stockholder meeting. Before a stockholder meeting could be held to extend the Deadline Date, final regulatory approval was granted by Nasdaq and the Company closed on its proposed Business Combination and terminated the Trust Account.
Initial Business Combination
The Company had until June 14, 2025 (as extended) to (1) complete a Business Combination, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination, and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s common stock included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering.
In the event that the Company receives notice from Instant Fame five days prior to the applicable deadline of its wish for the Company to effect an extension, the Company intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, the Company intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. Instant Fame and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to consummate the initial Business Combination within the applicable time period, the Company will, promptly but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and promptly following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the rights and warrants will be worthless. Additionally, any initial Business Combination must be approved by a majority of the independent directors.
The Company anticipates structuring the initial Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which the public stockholders’ own shares will own or acquire substantially all of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. The Company may, however, structure the initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than substantially all of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders or for other reasons, but the Company will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, the stockholders prior to the initial Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and the Company in the Business Combination transaction. For example, the Company could pursue a transaction in which the Company issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of shares or other equity interests. In this case, the Company would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, the stockholders immediately prior to the initial Business Combination could own less than a majority of the outstanding shares subsequent to the initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test. If the initial Business Combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses even if the acquisitions of the target businesses are not closed simultaneously.
The Company cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds currently held in the Trust Account prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the Business Combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of the Public Shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Company will be required to seek additional financing, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Furthermore, the Company may issue a substantial number of additional shares of common or preferred stock to complete the initial Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan upon or after consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company does not have a maximum debt leverage ratio or a policy with respect to how much debt the Company may incur. The amount of debt the Company will be willing to incur will depend on the facts and circumstances of the proposed Business Combination and market conditions at the time of the potential Business Combination. At this time, the Company is not party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising additional funds through the sale of the securities or the incurrence of debt. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.

Nasdaq rules require that the initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding advisory fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. If the board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. The Company does not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in connection with the initial Business Combination.
The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely at its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations plus additional deposits to extend the Combination Period).
Related to the redemption of the Company’s public shares, the Company’s has no limitation on its net tangible assets either immediately before or after the consummation of the Business Combination. Redemptions of the Company’s public shares may be subject to a net tangible asset test or cash requirement pursuant to an agreement relating to a Business Combination. For example, the Business Combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration the Company would be required to pay for all shares of common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to the Company, it will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.
The Sponsor, officers and directors and Representative (as defined in Note 6) have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below) and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

Proposed Business Combination – VisionWave Technologies
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 “VisionWave Technologies”) 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 (“VisionWave”), 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. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of Bannix, VisionWave, Parent Merger Sub, Company Merger Sub, and Target.
On July 14, 2025, the Company closed its proposed Business Combination with VisionWave Technologies.
The Mergers
Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a) Parent Merger Sub will merge with and into Bannix, with Bannix continuing as the surviving entity (the “Parent Merger”), as a result of which, (i) Bannix will become a wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave, and (ii) each issued and outstanding security 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) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VisionWave (other than the Parent Rights, which shall be automatically converted into shares of VisionWave), and, (b) immediately following the consummation of the Parent Merger but on the same day, Company Merger Sub will merge 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 will become a wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave, 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) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VisionWave. The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”
The Business Combination is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfaction of the minimum available cash condition, the receipt of certain governmental approvals and the required approval by the stockholders of Bannix and Target.
Consideration
Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Parent Merger Effective Time, (a) each share of Bannix common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Bannix Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time that has not been redeemed, is not owned by Bannix or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as treasury shares and is not a Dissenting Parent Share will automatically convert into one share of common stock, par value $0.001, of VisionWave (each, a share of “VisionWave Common Stock”), (b) each Bannix Warrant shall automatically convert into one warrant to purchase shares of VisionWave Common Stock (each, a “VisionWave Warrant”) on substantially the same terms and conditions; and (c) each Bannix Right will be automatically converted into the number of shares of VisionWave 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 Bannix’s organizational documents.
In accordance with the terms
and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Company Merger Effective Time, (a) each share of issued and outstanding
Target common stock, par value $0.01 (“Target Common Stock”), shall be cancelled and converted into

Governance
Subject to approval of shareholders, the parties have agreed to take actions such that, effective immediately after the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company’s board of directors shall consist of five directors, consisting of Haggai Ravid, Chuck Hansen, Eric T. Shuss, Douglas Davis and Noam Kenig. Additionally, certain current Target management personnel may become officers of VisionWave.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Merger Agreement contains 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) VisionWave 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 Bannix’s 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 Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 to be effective.
The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made the parties to the Merger Agreement which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Bannix does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.
In addition, VisionWave has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan, as described in the Merger Agreement.
Conditions to the Closing
The obligations of Bannix, VisionWave, Parent Merger Sub and Company Merger Sub (the “Bannix Parties”) and Target to consummate the Business Combination are subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the approval of Bannix’s stockholders, (ii) the approval of Target’s stockholders, and (iii) the Company’s Form S-4 registration statement becoming effective.
In addition, the obligations of the Bannix Parties to consummate the Business Combination are also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of Target being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of Target having been performed or complied with in all material respects, (ii) delivery of certain ancillary agreements required to be executed and delivered in connection with the Business Combination, and (iii) no Material Adverse Effect having occurred.
The obligation of Target to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of the Bannix Parties being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of the Bannix Parties having been performed or complied with in all material respects and (ii) the shares of VisionWave Common Stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination being listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Termination Rights
The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of Bannix and Target, (ii) by Bannix, on the one hand, or Target, on the other hand, if there is any breach of the representations, warranties, covenant or agreement of the other party as set forth in the Merger Agreement, in each case,
F-13
such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iii) by either Bannix or Target if the Business Combination is not consummated, (iv) by either Bannix or Target if a meeting of Bannix’s stockholders is held to vote on proposals relating to the Business Combination and the stockholders do not approve the proposals, and (v) by Bannix if the Target stockholders do not approve the Merger Agreement.
Permitted Financings
The Merger Agreement contemplates
that Target (a) may enter into agreements to raise capital in one or more private placement transactions prior to the Closing for aggregate

Stockholder Support Agreement
In accordance with the Merger Agreement, within thirty (30) days following the execution of the Merger Agreement, Bannix, VisionWave, Target, and certain stockholders of Target representing the requisite votes necessary to approve the Merger Agreement (the “Target Equity Holders”) are expected to enter into a Stockholder Support Agreement pursuant to which the Target Equity Holders will: (a) agree to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approve the Mergers and the other Transactions to which Target is a party; and (b) agree to waive any appraisal or similar rights they may have pursuant to Nevada law with respect to the Mergers and the other Transactions.
Potential Private Placement
On April 9, 2025, VisionWave
Technologies entered into a non-exclusive placement agent engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Maxim Group
LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which Maxim will act as VisionWave Technologies’ non-exclusive placement agent in connection
with a potential private placement of up to $
The Engagement Agreement includes a limited right of first refusal for a period of nine (9) months following the final closing of the Offering, Maxim shall have the right to act as sole managing underwriter or sole placement agent for any subsequent public or private offerings of equity, equity-linked, or debt securities of VisionWave Technologies, subject to Maxim matching the material terms offered by any third party. VisionWave Technologies has not yet launched the Offering, and no securities have been issued as of the date of this filing.
There can be no assurance that VisionWave Technologies will consummate the Offering or receive any proceeds from it.
Nasdaq Notices
On September 13, 2024, Bannix received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that, because it did not complete a Business Combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement, Bannix’s securities were subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2.
The letter further stated that unless Bannix appealed Nasdaq’s determination by September 20, 2024, trading of the Bannix’s securities would be suspended at the opening of business on September 24, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the SEC to remove the Bannix’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
F-14
Bannix appealed Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) and on December 2, 2024, the Panel granted the Bannix’s request for an exception to the Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2 to allow continued listing on Nasdaq. Bannix has been was granted an extension until March 12, 2025, to complete its proposed Business Combination.
On November 19, 2024, the Bannix a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department indicating that Bannix is not in compliance with the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) requirement of $35 million for continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Bannix’s securities. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), Bannix had will have 180 calendar days (the “Compliance Period”) to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the MVLS for Bannix must be at least $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during this Compliance Period. If the Bannix regained compliance with the MVLS Rule, Nasdaq would provide Bannix with written confirmation and would close the matter. If the Bannix did not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule by the Compliance Date, Nasdaq would provide written notification that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Nasdaq rules permit the Bannix an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq’s determination.
On March 13, 2025, the Bannix received a letter from the Panel notifying the Company that it would be suspended from trading on Nasdaq due to the Company’s inability to satisfy the terms outlined in the Panel’s December 2, 2024 decision. As a result, the trading in the Bannix’s securities moved to the OTC Pink at the open of trading on March 17, 2025, under the trading symbols of BNIX, BNIXR and BNIXW. As the successor to Bannix, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, VisionWave Common Stock and VisionWave Warrants began trading on July 15, 2025 on the NASDAQ under the symbols “VWAV and “VWAV” respectively and Bannix’s securities stopped trading.
Certificate of Correction to Certificate of Amendment
On February 8, 2024, Bannix filed a Certificate of Correction to its Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Correction”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 9, 2023 (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment inadvertently removed the provisions relating to Bannix’s obligation to wind up and liquidate the Company and redeem the public shares if the Bannix had not consummated an initial Business Combination within the specified time. The Certificate of Correction corrects this error to the Certificate of Amendment. The corrections made by the Certificate of Correction are retroactively effective as of March 9, 2023, the original filing date of the Certificate of Amendment.

All deferred payments will be made exclusively from the working capital of the post-closing entity or funds raised following the closing. These deferments provide the Company with the financial flexibility to focus on completing the transaction while ensuring that all obligations are met within the agreed timeframes.
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 August 13, 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 Company’s 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.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the funds the Company has available is sufficient to meet its operating needs through the consummation of a Business Combination through the temporarily extended Deadline Date. Over this time period, the Company will be utilizing the funds available to it to pay existing accounts payable and consummating the proposed Business Combination.
The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of June 30, 2025. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations, the Company had a temporarily extended deadline date beyond the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date to consummate a Business Combination. The Company closed on its proposed Business Combination on July 14, 2025 alleviating the mandatory liquidation requirement.
On April 9, 2025, VisionWave Technologies entered
into a non-exclusive placement agent engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”),
pursuant to which Maxim will act as VisionWave’s non-exclusive placement agent in connection with a potential private placement
of up to $10 million of equity or equity-linked securities (the “Offering”). The Offering is expected to be conducted on a
“commercially reasonable efforts” basis, and there is no assurance that the Offering will be completed, or that any definitive
agreements with investors will be entered into. Under the terms of the Engagement Agreement, VisionWave retains full discretion to accept
or reject any investment proposals and will determine the final terms and structure of the Offering, subject to market conditions and
investor interest. Maxim will be entitled to a cash placement fee equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds received by VisionWave
from any investor introduced by Maxim and listed in exhibit to the Engagement Agreement. In addition, VisionWave agreed to reimburse Maxim

Risks and Uncertainties
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. And in October 2023, the Hamas Terror Organization attacked the Southern part of Israel, which in turn, commenced a military action with Gaza Strip. As a result, these actions, and the possibility of escalating military actions, have created and are expected to create global economic consequences. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements.
Consideration of Inflation Reduction Act Excise Tax
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
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 Company’s 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 Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the amount that would otherwise be received by the public stockholders in connection with the Company’s 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 Company’s 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

Investment Company Act 1940
Under the current rules and regulations of the SEC we are not deemed an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act; however, on March 30, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules (the “Proposed Rules”) relating, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The Proposed Rules provide a safe harbor for companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the Proposed Rules would require a company to file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial Business Combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the SPAC’s registration statement for its IPO. The Company would then be required to complete its initial Business Combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of such registration statement. There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including this Company. Although the Company entered into a definitive Business Combination agreement within 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO, there is a risk that the Company may not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months of such date. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that the Company has been operating as an unregistered investment company. If the Company were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, the Company may be forced to abandon its efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate. If the Company is required to liquidate, the investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our stock and warrants following such a transaction.
The Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer which (i) is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities; (ii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type, or has been engaged in such business and has any such certificate outstanding; or (iii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. The Company has assessed its primary line of business and the value of its investment securities as compared to the value of total assets to determine whether the Company may be deemed an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in money market funds, there is a greater risk that the Company may be considered an unregistered investment company. As a result, the Company has switched all funds to cash, will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account after such time, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of our Company. Currently, the funds in the Trust Account are held in a demand deposit account and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act.
Failure to meet these criteria could result in the SPAC being deemed an unregistered investment company under the Act, requiring liquidation and potentially preventing completion of the proposed transaction. Bannix completed its IPO within the SEC’s safe harbor timeline, having entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement with VisionWave Technologies Inc. on March 26, 2024, less than 42 months after its IPO. The transaction is expected to close within the SEC’s prescribed 42-month timeline. Currently, Bannix does not hold itself out as being engaged in investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. All funds in the Trust Account are held in demand deposit accounts that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. The funds are not invested in marketable securities to avoid the risk of being deemed an unregistered investment company. As of the date of this filing,

Bannix’s Trust Account remains compliant with the safe harbor criteria outlined in SEC Release No. 33-11265. If Bannix were deemed to be an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act, it could be forced to abandon the Business Combination and liquidate. In such a scenario, public stockholders would lose the opportunity to benefit from potential appreciation in the value of Bannix’s stock and warrants following the Business Combination. In conclusion, Bannix is committed to ensuring compliance with the Investment Company Act and the updated SEC guidance. By adhering to the safe harbor provisions, Bannix seeks to mitigate risks associated with the potential application of the Investment Company Act.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 for interim financial information (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the period presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2025.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period through December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. The balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 contained herein has been derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bannix (prior to the succession by Vision Wave Holdings) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) VisionWave Holdings, Inc., (ii) BNIX Merger Sub, Inc., and (iii) BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. VisionWave Holdings, Inc (prior to the succession of Bannix) includes the wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) BNIX Merger Sub, Inc., and (iii) BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc.
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,
F-19
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 Company’s 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 our Private Placement Warrants. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with
an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did
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 $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s cash, current assets and current liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed 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 entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Fair Value of Trust Account
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the assets in the Trust Account were held in a demand deposit account at a bank. These demand deposit accounts were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis within Level 1 fair value hierarchy.
F-20
Offsetting Balances
In accordance with ASC Topic 210 “Balance Sheet”, the Company’s accounting policy is to offset assets and liabilities when a right of offset exist. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include transactions with the Sponsor and affiliated parties on a net basis.
Fair Value of Warrant Liability
The Company accounted for the 7,306,000 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 and the Public Warrants met the criteria for equity treatment. Accordingly, the Company classified its Private Warrants as a liability at fair value upon issuance and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statements of operations.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity.
The Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with the accounting treatment for redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require Common Stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all shares of Common Stock subject to redemption have been classified outside of permanent equity.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Common Stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Common Stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in-capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
The Company recorded an increase in the redemption
value because of earnings on the Trust Account and additional deposits that exceed amounts payable for taxes. While the Company may use
earnings on the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 $
At the May 2025 Special Meeting, stockholders redeemed
Prior to the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date, management of the Company, representing a majority of the Company’s stockholders, held a meeting with the trustee of the Trust Account to request the Trust Account not be liquidated due to the pending regulatory approval of the proposed Business Combination, discussed below. The trustee exercised administrative authority and agreed to the temporary extension of the Deadline Date pending a stockholder meeting. Before a stockholder meeting could be held to extend the Deadline Date, final regulatory approval was granted by Nasdaq and the Company closed on its proposed Business Combination and terminated the trust.

Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
For purposes of calculating diluted loss per common stock, the denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include shares and warrants using the treasury stock method.
As of June 30, 2025 and 2024,
Reconciliation of Loss per Share of Common Stock
Basic and diluted loss per share for common stock is calculated as follows:

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
F-22
the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The Company’s effective
tax rate was (
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the company accrued $
The Company has identified the United States, the State of California, and the State of Delaware as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
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 Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
The Company’s 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 Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation regarding Founder Shares granted to directors and an officer of the Company. The acquired shares shall vest upon the Company consummating an initial Business Combination (the “Vesting Date”). The Founder Shares owned by the directors or officer (1) may not be sold or transferred, until one year after the consummation of a Business Combination, (2) not be entitled to redemption from the funds held in the Trust Account, or any liquidating distributions. The Company has until June 14, 2025 (as extended) to consummate a Business Combination, and if a Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will liquidate and the shares will become worthless.
The Founder Shares were issued on September 8, 2021,
and the Founder Shares vest, not upon a fixed date, but upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Since the approach in ASC
718 is to determine the fair value without regard to the vesting date, the Company has determined the valuation of the Founder Shares
as of September 8, 2021. The valuation resulted in a fair value of $

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On September 14, 2021, the
Company consummated its IPO and sold
All of the shares of common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company sold
NOTE 5 — PROMISSORY NOTE TO EVIE AUTONOMOUS LTD AND EVIE AUTONOMOUS GROUP LTD.
The Company’s unsecured Evie Autonomous Extension Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
At June 30, 2025 and December
31, 2024, the Company owes Evie Autonomous LTD $
On December 26, 2024 and amended on May 27, 2025, the Company 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 11.

securities or other property. The Company refers to such transfer restrictions as the “lock-up”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.
At June 30, 2025 and December
31, 2024, there were
Working Capital Loans – Former Sponsor and Sponsor
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the loans. On June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no loans outstanding under the working capital loan program.

In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive his, her or its additional share of common stock upon consummation of Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of the rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of shares of common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis.

The warrants will become 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 the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Redemption of warrants
The Company may call the warrants for redemption
(excluding the private warrants, and any warrants underlying Units issued to the Sponsors, initial stockholders, officers, directors or
their affiliates in payment of related party loans made to the Company), in whole and not in part, at a price of $

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” If management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

NOTE 10 — 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 Company’s 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.
F-30
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
| Schedule of segment assets | ||||||||||||||||
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |||||||||||||
| Operating costs | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Interest income on trust account | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
The key metrics included in segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are interest income on Trust Account and operating costs. The CODM reviews interest income on Trust Account to measure and monitor stockholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. Operating costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination period. The CODM also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.
Note 11—Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date of the filing of this report (October 31, 2025). The Company did not identify any subsequent events, other than disclosed in the Notes and discussed below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
On July 10, 2025 pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 the Company filed Form 8-A registering the securities declared effective by the SEC.

of $
The loan pursuant to the July 2025 Notes closed and funded on July 17, 2025.
The July 2025 Notes were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as the issuances did not involve a public offering, and no underwriters were involved. The July 2025 Lenders represented that they are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
Policies
On July 16, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the following policies:
| ● | A Policy on Granting Equity Awards, which establishes procedures for granting equity awards under the Company’s equity compensation plans, including authority, timing, and error correction processes. | |
| ● | A Code of Ethics, which sets forth standards of conduct for the Company’s associates, including honesty, avoidance of conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, and proper accounting practices. | |
| ● | An Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits insider trading, defines material non-public information, establishes blackout periods, and imposes additional restrictions on certain personnel. |
Additionally, on May 29, 2025, the Board of Directors adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy, effective as of such date, which provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from executive officers in the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act.
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 (“Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to 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-32
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to Investor’s 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 has agreed to advance to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (the
“Convertible Notes”) an aggregate principal amount of $
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 Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset of the Convertible Notes (“Investor Advance”). Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Investor Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause 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 Investor 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 Investor, except with respect to Investor Advances. Actual sales of shares of common stock to Investor as an 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 Company’s common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations.
F-33
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 Investor shall have made payment of Advances
pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $
As consideration for Investor’s commitment to
purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid Investor, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $
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.

In connection with the closing of its proposed business combination with VisionWave Technologies, Inc., discussed below (see also note for subsequent events), VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (“VW Holdings” or the “Company”) is the successor to Bannix Acquisition Corp., (“Bannix”) a blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 21, 2021. Bannix was formed for the purpose of effecting mergers, capital stock exchange, asset acquisitions, stock purchases, reorganization or similar business combinations with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).
As of June 30, 2025, Bannix had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 21, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025 relates to Bannix’s formation, the initial public offering (the “IPO”) (as defined below) and Bannix’s search for a target and the consummation of an initial Business Combination. Bannix will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. Bannix generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash from the proceeds derived from the IPO and non-operating income or expense from the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities. Until the closing of its business combination with VisionWave Technologies, Inc., Bannix is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, Bannix is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

F-47
Prior to the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date, management of Bannix, representing a majority of Bannix’s stockholders, held a meeting with the trustee of the Trust Account to request the Trust Account not be liquidated due to the pending regulatory approval of the proposed Business Combination, discussed below. The trustee exercised administrative authority and agreed to the temporary extension of the Deadline Date pending a stockholder meeting. Before a stockholder meeting could be held to extend the Deadline Date, final regulatory approval was granted by Nasdaq and Bannix closed on its proposed Business Combination and terminated the Trust Account.
Initial Business Combination
Bannix had until June 14, 2025 (as extended) to (1) complete a Business Combination, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination, and (3) redeem 100% of Bannix’s common stock included as part of the units sold in Bannix’s initial public offering.
In the event that Bannix receives notice from Instant Fame five days prior to the applicable deadline of its wish for Bannix to effect an extension, Bannix intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, Bannix intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. Instant Fame and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for Bannix to complete the initial Business Combination. If Bannix is unable to consummate the initial Business Combination within the applicable time period, Bannix will, promptly but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and promptly following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the rights and warrants will be worthless. Additionally, any initial Business Combination must be approved by a majority of the independent directors.
Bannix anticipates structuring the initial Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which the public stockholders’ own shares will own or acquire substantially all of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. Bannix may, however, structure the initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than substantially all of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders or for other reasons, but Bannix will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, the stockholders prior to the initial Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and Bannix in the Business Combination transaction. For example, Bannix could pursue a transaction in which Bannix issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of shares or other equity interests. In this case, Bannix would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, the stockholders immediately prior to the initial Business Combination could own less than a majority of the outstanding shares subsequent to the initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test. If the initial Business Combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses even if the acquisitions of the target businesses are not closed simultaneously.
Bannix cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds currently held in the Trust Account prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the Business Combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or because Bannix becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of the Public Shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, Bannix will be required to seek additional financing, in which case Bannix may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Furthermore, Bannix may issue a substantial number of additional shares of common or preferred stock to complete the initial Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan upon or after consummation of the initial Business Combination. Bannix does not have a maximum debt leverage ratio or a policy with respect to how much debt Bannix may incur. The amount of debt Bannix will be willing to incur will depend on the facts and circumstances of the proposed Business Combination and market conditions at the time of the potential Business Combination. At this time, Bannix is not party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising additional funds through the sale of the securities or the incurrence of debt. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, Bannix would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.
F-48
Nasdaq rules require that the initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding advisory fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. If the board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, Bannix will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. Bannix does not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in connection with the initial Business Combination.
Bannix will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether Bannix will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by Bannix, solely at its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to Bannix to pay its tax obligations plus additional deposits to extend the Combination Period).
Related to the redemption of Bannix’s public shares, Bannix’s has no limitation on its net tangible assets either immediately before or after the consummation of the Business Combination. Redemptions of Bannix’s public shares may be subject to a net tangible asset test or cash requirement pursuant to an agreement relating to a Business Combination. For example, the Business Combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration Bannix would be required to pay for all shares of common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to Bannix, it will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.
The Sponsor, officers and directors and Representative (as defined in Note 6) have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below) and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to Bannix’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if Bannix fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”
The Business Combination is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfaction of the minimum available cash condition, the receipt of certain governmental approvals and the required approval by the stockholders of Bannix and Target.
Consideration
Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Parent Merger Effective Time, (a) each share of Bannix common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Bannix Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time that has not been redeemed, is not owned by Bannix or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as treasury shares and is not a Dissenting Parent Share will automatically convert into one share of common stock, par value $0.001, of VisionWave (each, a share of “VisionWave Common Stock”), (b) each Bannix Warrant shall automatically convert into one warrant to purchase shares of VisionWave Common Stock (each, a “VisionWave Warrant”) on substantially the same terms and conditions; and (c) each Bannix Right will be automatically converted into the number of shares of VisionWave 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 Bannix’s organizational documents.

Shuss, Douglas Davis and Noam Kenig. Additionally, certain current Target management personnel may become officers of VisionWave.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Merger Agreement contains 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) VisionWave 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 Bannix’s 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 Bannix’s registration statement on Form S-4 to be effective.
The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made the parties to the Merger Agreement which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

In addition, VisionWave has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan, as described in the Merger Agreement.

There can be no assurance that VisionWave Technologies will consummate the Offering or receive any proceeds from it.
Nasdaq Notices
On September 13, 2024, Bannix received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that, because it did not complete a Business Combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement, Bannix’s securities were subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2.
The letter further stated that unless Bannix appealed Nasdaq’s determination by September 20, 2024, trading of the Bannix’s securities would be suspended at the opening of business on September 24, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the SEC to remove the Bannix’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
Bannix appealed Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) and on December 2, 2024, the Panel granted the Bannix’s request for an exception to the Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2 to allow continued listing on Nasdaq. Bannix has been was granted an extension until March 12, 2025, to complete its proposed Business Combination.
F-52
On November 19, 2024, the Bannix a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department indicating that Bannix is not in compliance with the minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) requirement of $35 million for continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Bannix’s securities. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), Bannix had will have 180 calendar days (the “Compliance Period”) to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the MVLS for Bannix must be at least $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during this Compliance Period. If the Bannix regained compliance with the MVLS Rule, Nasdaq would provide Bannix with written confirmation and would close the matter. If the Bannix did not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule by the Compliance Date, Nasdaq would provide written notification that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Nasdaq rules permit the Bannix an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq’s determination.
On March 13, 2025, the Bannix received a letter from the Panel notifying Bannix that it would be suspended from trading on Nasdaq due to Bannix’s inability to satisfy the terms outlined in the Panel’s December 2, 2024 decision. As a result, the trading in the Bannix’s securities moved to the OTC Pink at the open of trading on March 17, 2025, under the trading symbols of BNIX, BNIXR and BNIXW. As the successor to Bannix, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, VisionWave Common Stock and VisionWave Warrants began trading on July 15, 2025 on the NASDAQ under the symbols “VWAV and “VWAV” respectively and Bannix’s securities stopped trading.
Certificate of Correction to Certificate of Amendment
On February 8, 2024, Bannix filed a Certificate of Correction to its Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Correction”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 9, 2023 (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment inadvertently removed the provisions relating to Bannix’s obligation to wind up and liquidate Bannix and redeem the public shares if the Bannix had not consummated an initial Business Combination within the specified time. The Certificate of Correction corrects this error to the Certificate of Amendment. The corrections made by the Certificate of Correction are retroactively effective as of March 9, 2023, the original filing date of the Certificate of Amendment.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern
As of June 30, 2025, Bannix

Bannix’s liquidity
needs through June 30, 2025, were satisfied through (1) a capital contribution from the Sponsors of $28,750 for common stock (“Founder
Shares”) and (2) loans from Former Sponsor and Sponsor and related parties in order to pay offering costs and other working capital
needs. In addition, in order to fund transaction costs in connection with a possible Business Combination, Bannix’s Sponsor, an
affiliate of the Sponsor, and/or certain of Bannix’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide Bannix Working
Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no loans associated with Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2025
and December 31, 2024, Bannix owed $
As additional sources of funding, Bannix issued unsecured
promissory notes to Evie Autonomous LTD (“Evie”) with a principal amount of $
On December 26, 2024 and revised on February 4, 2025, April 19, 2025 and May 25, 2025, Bannix entered into several agreements to defer certain transaction costs and obligations associated with its proposed Business Combination until after the closing of the proposed Business Combination. The deferred obligations include:

| ● | promissory notes - Evie in the amount of $ | |
| ● | an aggregate of $ |
On January 19, 2025, the CEO of Bannix agreed to defer
$
All deferred payments will be made exclusively from the working capital of the post-closing entity or funds raised following the closing. These deferments provide Bannix with the financial flexibility to focus on completing the transaction while ensuring that all obligations are met within the agreed timeframes.
On April 8, 2025, with an effective date of March 31, 2025, Bannix 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 Bannix, sufficient to fund the working capital needs through August 13, 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 Bannix’s 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.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the funds Bannix has available is sufficient to meet its operating needs through the consummation of a Business Combination through the temporarily extended Deadline Date. Over this time period, Bannix will be utilizing the funds available to it to pay existing accounts payable and consummating the proposed Business Combination.
Bannix is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of June 30, 2025. In connection with Bannix’s assessment of going concern considerations, Bannix had a temporarily extended deadline date beyond the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date to consummate a Business Combination. Bannix closed on its proposed Business Combination on July 14, 2025 alleviating the mandatory liquidation requirement.
On April 9, 2025, VisionWave Technologies entered
into a non-exclusive placement agent engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”),
pursuant to which Maxim will act as VisionWave’s non-exclusive placement agent in connection with a potential private placement
of up to $10 million of equity or equity-linked securities (the “Offering”). The Offering is expected to be conducted on a
“commercially reasonable efforts” basis, and there is no assurance that the Offering will be completed, or that any definitive
agreements with investors will be entered into. Under the terms of the Engagement Agreement, VisionWave retains full discretion to accept
or reject any investment proposals and will determine the final terms and structure of the Offering, subject to market conditions and
investor interest. Maxim will be entitled to a cash placement fee equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds received by VisionWave
from any investor introduced by Maxim and listed in exhibit to the Engagement Agreement. In addition, VisionWave agreed to reimburse Maxim
for up to $

Risks and Uncertainties
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. And in October 2023, the Hamas Terror Organization attacked the Southern part of Israel, which in turn, commenced a military action with Gaza Strip. As a result, these actions, and the possibility of escalating military actions, have created and are expected to create global economic consequences. The specific impact on Bannix’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements.
Consideration of Inflation Reduction Act Excise Tax
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
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 Bannix, 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 Bannix and not by the redeeming holders, it could cause a reduction in the value of Bannix’s 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 Bannix 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 Bannix in the event Bannix is unable to complete a Business Combination in the required time and redeem 100% of the remaining Class A common stock in accordance with Bannix’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the amount that would otherwise be received by the public stockholders in connection with Bannix’s 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 Bannix 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 Bannix 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 Bannix’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
F-55
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.
Bannix is currently evaluating its options with respect to this obligation. Any amount of such excise tax not paid in full, will be subject
to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at
As of the filing of the Form 10-Q, Bannix has not

Investment Company Act 1940
Under the current rules and regulations of the SEC we are not deemed an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act; however, on March 30, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules (the “Proposed Rules”) relating, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as Bannix could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The Proposed Rules provide a safe harbor for companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the Proposed Rules would require a company to file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial Business Combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the SPAC’s registration statement for its IPO. Bannix would then be required to complete its initial Business Combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of such registration statement. There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including this Company. Although Bannix entered into a definitive Business Combination agreement within 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO, there is a risk that Bannix may not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months of such date. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that Bannix has been operating as an unregistered investment company. If Bannix were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, Bannix may be forced to abandon its efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate. If Bannix is required to liquidate, the investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our stock and warrants following such a transaction.
The Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer which (i) is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities; (ii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type, or has been engaged in such business and has any such certificate outstanding; or (iii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Bannix has assessed its primary line of business and the value of its investment securities as compared to the value of total assets to determine whether Bannix may be deemed an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in money market funds, there is a greater risk that Bannix may be considered an unregistered investment company. As a result, Bannix has switched all funds to cash, will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account after such time, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of our Company. Currently, the funds in the Trust Account are held in a demand deposit account and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act.
Failure to meet these criteria could result in the SPAC being deemed an unregistered investment company under the Act, requiring liquidation and potentially preventing completion of the proposed transaction. Bannix completed its IPO within the SEC’s safe harbor timeline, having entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement with VisionWave Technologies Inc. on March 26, 2024, less than 42 months after its IPO. The transaction is expected to close within the SEC’s prescribed 42-month timeline. Currently,
F-56
Bannix does not hold itself out as being engaged in investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities. All funds in the Trust Account are held in demand deposit accounts that comply with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. The funds are not invested in marketable securities to avoid the risk of being deemed an unregistered investment company. As of the date of this filing, Bannix’s Trust Account remains compliant with the safe harbor criteria outlined in SEC Release No. 33-11265. If Bannix were deemed to be an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act, it could be forced to abandon the Business Combination and liquidate. In such a scenario, public stockholders would lose the opportunity to benefit from potential appreciation in the value of Bannix’s stock and warrants following the Business Combination. In conclusion, Bannix is committed to ensuring compliance with the Investment Company Act and the updated SEC guidance. By adhering to the safe harbor provisions, Bannix seeks to mitigate risks associated with the potential application of the Investment Company Act.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Bannix are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the period presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2025.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with Bannix’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Bannix’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period through December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. The balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 contained herein has been derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Segment Reporting
Bannix 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
Bannix 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. Bannix 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, Bannix, 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 Bannix’s 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.
F-57
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 our Private Placement Warrants. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Bannix considers all short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Bannix did
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject Bannix
to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository
Insurance Coverage of $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of Bannix’s cash, current assets and current liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited condensed 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 entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Fair Value of Trust Account
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the assets in the Trust Account were held in a demand deposit account at a bank. These demand deposit accounts were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis within Level 1 fair value hierarchy.
F-58
Offsetting Balances
In accordance with ASC Topic 210 “Balance Sheet”, Bannix’s accounting policy is to offset assets and liabilities when a right of offset exist. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed balance sheets include transactions with the Sponsor and affiliated parties on a net basis.
Fair Value of Warrant Liability
Bannix accounted for the 7,306,000 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 and the Public Warrants met the criteria for equity treatment. Accordingly, Bannix classified its Private Warrants as a liability at fair value upon issuance and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in Bannix’s statements of operations.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
Bannix accounts for its Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within Bannix’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity.
The Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with Bannix’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to Bannix’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with the accounting treatment for redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of Bannix require Common Stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all shares of Common Stock subject to redemption have been classified outside of permanent equity.
Bannix recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Common Stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Common Stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in-capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
Bannix recorded an increase in the redemption value
because of earnings on the Trust Account and additional deposits that exceed amounts payable for taxes. While Bannix may use earnings
on the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 $
At the May 2025 Special Meeting, stockholders redeemed
Prior to the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date, management of Bannix, representing a majority of Bannix’s stockholders, held a meeting with the trustee of the Trust Account to request the Trust Account not be liquidated due to the pending regulatory approval of the proposed Business Combination, discussed below. The trustee exercised administrative authority and agreed to the temporary extension of the Deadline Date pending a stockholder meeting. Before a stockholder meeting could be held to extend the Deadline Date, final regulatory approval was granted by Nasdaq and Bannix closed on its proposed Business Combination and terminated the trust.

Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
For purposes of calculating diluted loss per common stock, the denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include shares and warrants using the treasury stock method.

Income Taxes
Bannix accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
F-60
Bannix’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Bannix’s effective tax
rate was (
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
Bannix recognizes accrued interest and penalties related
to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Bannix accrued $
Bannix has identified the United States, the State of California, and the State of Delaware as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. Bannix is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. Bannix’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
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. Bannix’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
Bannix’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on Bannix’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
Stock Based Compensation
Bannix complies with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation regarding Founder Shares granted to directors and an officer of Bannix. The acquired shares shall vest upon Bannix consummating an initial Business Combination (the “Vesting Date”). The Founder Shares owned by the directors or officer (1) may not be sold or transferred, until one year after the consummation of a Business Combination, (2) not be entitled to redemption from the funds held in the Trust Account, or any liquidating distributions. Bannix has until June 14, 2025 (as extended) to consummate a Business Combination, and if a Business Combination is not consummated, Bannix will liquidate and the shares will become worthless.
The Founder Shares were issued on September 8, 2021,
and the Founder Shares vest, not upon a fixed date, but upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Since the approach in ASC
718 is to determine the fair value without regard to the vesting date, Bannix has determined the valuation of the Founder Shares as of
September 8, 2021. The valuation resulted in a fair value of $

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On September 14, 2021, Bannix
consummated its IPO and sold
All of the shares of common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with Bannix’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to Bannix’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of Bannix require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing
of the IPO and the sale of the Units, Bannix sold
NOTE 5 — PROMISSORY NOTE TO EVIE AUTONOMOUS LTD AND EVIE AUTONOMOUS GROUP LTD.
Bannix’s unsecured Evie Autonomous Extension Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of Bannix’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of Bannix’s liquidation. If Bannix does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
At June 30, 2025 and December

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 11.

The Former Sponsor, Sponsor, Other Investors, Anchor Investors, directors and officer have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) the date on which Bannix completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Bannix refers to such transfer restrictions as the “lock-up”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

At June 30, 2025 and December

Working Capital Loans – Former Sponsor and Sponsor
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of Bannix’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan Bannix funds as may be required. If Bannix completes a Business Combination, Bannix would repay the loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to Bannix. Otherwise, the loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, Bannix may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the loans. On June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no loans outstanding under the working capital loan program.

Rights — Except in cases where Bannix is not the surviving company in the Business Combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination, even if the holder of a right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with the Business Combination or an amendment to Bannix’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities. In the event that Bannix will not be the surviving company upon completion of the Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive his, her or its additional share of common stock upon consummation of Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of Bannix). If Bannix enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which Bannix will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of the rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of shares of common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis.
NOTE 9 — WARRANT LIABILITY
Bannix accounted for the
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Bannix’s Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) Bannix issues additional shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Common Stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by Bannix’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to Bannix’s Former Sponsor, Sponsors or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by Bannix’s Former Sponsor, Sponsors or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”),
F-66
(y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Bannix’s Common Stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which Bannix consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Market Value, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the Market Value.
The warrants will become 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 Bannix’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Redemption of warrants
Bannix may call the warrants for redemption
(excluding the private warrants, and any warrants underlying Units issued to the Sponsors, initial stockholders, officers, directors or
their affiliates in payment of related party loans made to Bannix), in whole and not in part, at a price of $
| ● | at any time while the warrants are exercisable, |

and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $ |
| ● | 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 |
If Bannix calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” If management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.
If Bannix is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and Bannix liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from Bannix’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

NOTE 10 — 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 Bannix’s 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 Bannix as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that Bannix only has one operating segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the unaudited condensed statements of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating Bannix’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

| Operating costs | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Interest income on trust account | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
The key metrics included in segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are interest income on Trust Account and operating costs. The CODM reviews interest income on Trust Account to measure and monitor stockholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. Operating costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination period. The CODM also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.
Note 11—Subsequent Events
Bannix evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date of the filing of this report (October 31, 2025). Bannix did not identify any subsequent events, other than disclosed in the Notes and discussed below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in these unaudited condensed financial statements.
On July 10, 2025 pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Bannix filed Form 8-A registering the securities declared effective by the SEC.
Close of Business Combination
On July 14, 2025, Bannix closed its proposed Business Combination and liquidated its Trust Account. In association with the liquidation of the Trust Account, stockholders redeeming their shares of common stock at the May 2025 Special Meeting were paid for their redeeming shares. As the close of the Business Combination occurred after June 30, 2025, financial statement of the Target are not complete and not included in this Form 10-Q.
Business Combination Consideration
As a result of the Business Combination, all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Bannix (“Bannix
Common Stock”) were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a pro-rata portion of 2,540,353 shares of common stock of VisionWave
(“VisionWave Common Stock”). Each issued and outstanding security of Bannix immediately prior to the Parent Merger Effective
Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially
equivalent security of VisionWave.
Closing
After the closing of the Mergers, VisionWave has 14,270,953 shares of common stock outstanding and Warrants to purchase 7,306,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, VisionWave Common Stock and VisionWave Warrants began trading on July 15, 2025 on the NASDAQ under the symbols “VWAV and “VWAV” respectively.
In addition to the 2,540,353 shares of VisionWave Common Stock issued upon closing of the Business Combination, 11,000,000 shares of VisionWave Common Stock were issued to Target shareholders. Additionally, 690,000 public rights and 40,600 private rights were issued.

Short Term Funding

Purchase Agreements (the “July 2025 SPAs”) with two unaffiliated accredited investors (“July 2025 Lenders”), pursuant
to which Bannix issued promissory notes (the “July 2025 Notes”) to the July 2025 Lenders in the aggregate principal amount
of $
The loan pursuant to the July 2025 Notes closed and funded on July 17, 2025.
The July 2025 Notes were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as the issuances did not involve a public offering, and no underwriters were involved. The July 2025 Lenders represented that they are accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
Policies
On July 16, 2025, the Board of Directors of Bannix adopted the following policies:
| ● | A Policy on Granting Equity Awards, which establishes procedures for granting equity awards under Bannix’s equity compensation plans, including authority, timing, and error correction processes. | |
| ● | A Code of Ethics, which sets forth standards of conduct for Bannix’s associates, including honesty, avoidance of conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, and proper accounting practices. | |
| ● | An Insider Trading Policy, which prohibits insider trading, defines material non-public information, establishes blackout periods, and imposes additional restrictions on certain personnel. |
Additionally, on May 29, 2025, the Board of Directors adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy, effective as of such date, which provides for the recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from executive officers in the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10D-1 under the Exchange Act.
Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On July 25, 2025, Bannix entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (“Investor”) pursuant to which Bannix has the right to sell to 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.
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to Investor’s 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, Bannix 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.
F-70
The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by Bannix 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 Bannix in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. Bannix may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which Bannix 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 has agreed to advance to Bannix in the form of convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”)
an aggregate principal amount of $
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 Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset of the Convertible Notes (“Investor Advance”). Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Investor Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause 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 Investor Advance, the amounts payable under the Convertible Notes will be offset by such amount subject to each Investor Advance.
Bannix will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to Investor, except with respect to Investor Advances. Actual sales of shares of common stock to Investor as an Advance under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by Bannix from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of Bannix’s common stock and determinations by Bannix 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 Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. We have the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and Bannix has paid all amounts owed to Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes. Bannix and Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither Bannix nor 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.
F-71
As consideration for Investor’s commitment to
purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, Bannix paid Investor, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $
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 Bannix will depend on the frequency and prices at which Bannix sells its shares of common stock to Investor. Bannix expects that any proceeds received from such sales to Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

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 Bannix’s board of directors or required by regulatory bodies. Bannix 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 the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 30, 2025.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2025
Note 1—Organization and Business Operations
Organization and General
Description of Business
VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (predecessor) (“VWH predecessor”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 3, 2024, and VWH predecessor’s registered office is at 108 W. 13th Street, Suite 100, City of Wilmington, Delaware. VWH predecessor was formed as a wholly- owned subsidiary of Bannix.
VWH predecessor has selected September 30 as its fiscal year end. However, VWH predecessor used December 31 as the fiscal year in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
BNIX Merger Sub, Inc. (“Parent Merger Sub”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 3, 2024, and Parent Merger Sub’s registered office is at 108 W. 13th Street, Suite 100, City of Wilmington, Delaware. Parent Merger Sub was formed as a wholly- owned subsidiary of VWH predecessor.
BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc. (“Company Merger Sub”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 4, 2024, and Company Merger Sub’s registered office is at 701 S. Carson Street, Suite 200, Carson City, Nevada 89701. Company Merger Sub was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of VWH predecessor.
Proposed Business Combination
On September 6, 2024, Bannix entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Bannix, VWH predecessor, BNIX Merger Sub, Inc. (“Parent Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VWH predecessor, BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc. (“Company Merger Sub”), a Nevada corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VWH predecessor, and VisionWave Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Target”). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of Bannix, VWH predecessor, Parent Merger Sub, Company Merger Sub, and Target.
The Business Combination was expected to close before June 30, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfaction of the minimum available cash condition, the receipt of certain governmental approvals and the required approval by the stockholders of Bannix and Target.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
VWH predecessor was formed for the purpose of consummating a Business Combination and is not anticipated to exist upon consummation of the Merger Agreement.
The parent company, Bannix, is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of June 30, 2025. In connection with VWH predecessor’s assessment of going concern considerations, VWH predecessor had a temporarily extended deadline date beyond the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date to consummate a Business Combination. VWH predecessor closed on its proposed Business Combination on July 14, 2025 alleviating the mandatory liquidation requirement.
In connection with preparing the financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about VWH predecessor’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.
F-81
As of June 30, 2025, VWH predecessor had no cash,
a working capital deficit of $
Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due.
VWH predecessor 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, Bannix, together with VWH predecessor, entered into a Funding Support Agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC (“Stanley Hills”), the principal shareholder of the VisionWave Technologies, Inc. And on October 3, 2025, the Funding Support Agreement was revised such that VWH predecessor was included as the primary party to the Funding Support Agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Stanley Hills irrevocably and unconditionally committed to provide financial support to Bannix, sufficient to fund working capital needs for a period not less than twelve (12) months from the date of release/issuance of the financial statement.
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 applicable entity’s Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair VWH predecessor’s 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 and closing of the business combination elevated the risk about VWH predecessor’s 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.
The merger closing triggered substantial, actionable, and committed below funding access:
●Investor A is actively pushing to draw $2 million immediately and has committed to a $50 million equity line.
●Investor B has offered VWH predecessor $2 million in $300K tranches, and is likewise eager for us to proceed post-closing.
●Investor C is to finalize their $18 million ELOC and a $5 million pre-paid advance.
Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of VWH predecessor are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the period presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through September 30, 2025.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with VWH predecessor’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the period from September 3, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2024. The balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 contained herein has been derived from the audited financial statements as of September 30, 2024, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
F-82
VWH predecessor incorporated on September 3, 2024, therefore no prior year comparative amounts are available for the statement of operations, statement of stockholder’s deficit and statement of cash flows.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VWH predecessor and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, BNIX Merger Sub, Inc., and BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Segment Reporting
VWH predecessor 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. VWH predecessor adopted ASU 2023- 07 on October 1, 2024. The amendments were applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements (see Note 6).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires VWH predecessor’s 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate is the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considering in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
For purposes of calculating diluted loss per common share, the denominator includes both the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued 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. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. VWH predecessor adopted ASU 2023-07 on October 1, 2024. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 has not had a material impact on VWH predecessor’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
VWH predecessor has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it.
VWH predecessor does not expect the adoption of any recently issued pronouncements to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
F-83
NOTE 3 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On April 8, 2025, and made effective as of March 31, 2025, VWH predecessor entered into a funding agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC (“Stanley Hills”), the principal shareholder of VW Technologies, Inc., whereby Stanley Hills has agreed to fund VWH predecessor’s working capital needs for a period of not less than twelve (12) months from March 31, 2025. This agreement is non-interest bearing, and repayable only at such time as determined by the respective Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair VWH predecessor’s liquidity or going concern status.
The sponsor of the Bannix, Instant Fame LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“Instant”) and Stanley Hills have paid expenses on behalf of VWH predecessor and VWH predecessor’s subsidiaries, and are expected to continue to pay other costs in the future. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, VWH predecessor owes related parties $47,556 and $6,056, respectively. Instant or related parties are expected to pay the accrued expenses of VWH predecessor when they come due.
NOTE 4 — STOCKHOLDER’S DEFICIT
Common stock
VWH predecessor is authorized to issue
NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
In September 2025, a shareholder filed a lawsuit against VWH predecessor seeking from court a declaration that it is not an affiliate of VWH predecessor. VWH predecessor is contesting the shareholder’s position. At each reporting date, VWH predecessor evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. At this phase VWH predecessor cannot estimate the results of said litigation. VWH predecessor expenses as incurred the costs related to such legal proceedings.
NOTE 6—SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280 establishes standards for companies to report in their 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 VWH predecessor’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
VWH predecessor’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the consolidated operating results for VWH predecessor as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that VWH predecessor only has one operating segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the statements of operations as net income or loss. When evaluating VWH predecessor’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews key metrics, which include the following:
| Schedule of segment assets | ||||||||
| For the Three Months Ended | For the Six Months Ended | |||||||
| June 30, | June 30, | |||||||
| 2025 | 2025 | |||||||
| Operating costs | $ | $ | ||||||
F-84
The key metrics included in segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are operating costs.
Operating costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination within the combination period. The CODM also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.
NOTE 7 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
VWH predecessor evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued (October 31, 2025). VWH predecessor did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, other than below.
On April 9, 2025, VWH predecessor entered
into a non-exclusive placement agent engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”),
pursuant to which Maxim will act as VWH predecessor’s non-exclusive placement agent in connection with a potential private placement
of up to $
The Engagement Agreement also includes customary confidentiality, indemnification, and contribution provisions, as well as a limited right of first refusal. Specifically, for a period of nine (9) months following the final closing of the Offering, Maxim shall have the right to act as sole managing underwriter or sole placement agent for any subsequent public or private offerings of equity, equity-linked, or debt securities of VWH predecessor, subject to Maxim matching the material terms offered by any third party. VWH predecessor has not yet launched the Offering, and no securities have been issued as of the date of this filing. The terms of the Offering will be subject to further negotiation, execution of definitive agreements with investors, satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and successful completion of Maxim’s due diligence.
There can be no assurance that VWH predecessor will consummate the Offering or receive any proceeds from it. Any securities that may be issued in connection with the Offering will be offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.
On April 18, 2025, VWH predecessor filed Form S-4/A with the SEC related to VWH predecessor’s proposed Business Combination as discussed in Note 1.
On May 5, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) declared VWH predecessor’s registration statement filed with the SEC on April 18, 2025 to be effective.
Board of Directors
On September 9, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of VWH predecessor approved Independent Director Agreements (each, an “Agreement”) with Eric Shuss, Chuck Hansen, and Haggai Ravid, pursuant to which each will serve as an independent director of VWH predecessor.
Under the terms of each Agreement, the independent director will receive:
| ● | An annual cash retainer of $ | |
| ● | Reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with Board service; and | |
| ● | An annual equity grant under VWH predecessor’s 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) with a grant date fair value of $ |
F-85
As a result of the above, VWH predecessor will issue
Further, as compensation for his service as a director
prior to the Business Combination with Bannix Acquisition Corp. (“Bannix”), VWH predecessor 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 $
Financing
On September 11, 2025, VWH predecessor 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 VWH predecessor and the Investor.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Investor advanced
the second tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance in a principal amount of $
In addition, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the
Investor agreed to fund an additional $
Terms of the Second Note
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.
If an Amortization Event occurs (defined as a Floor
Price Event, Exchange Cap Event, or Registration Event, as set forth in the Second Note), VWH predecessor must make monthly cash payments
beginning on the 10th trading day after the Amortization Event Date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month until
the entire outstanding principal amount is repaid. Each monthly payment equals the sum of (i) $
VWH predecessor may, at its option, redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Second Note by providing written notice to the Investor, provided the VWAP of the common stock was less than the fixed conversion price on the notice date (unless otherwise agreed). The redemption amount includes the principal being redeemed, a 5% redemption premium, and accrued interest. The Investor has 10 trading days to elect to convert any portion of the Second Note before redemption.
F-86
The Second Note is convertible at any time into shares
of VWH predecessor’s common stock, par value $
Terms of the New Note
The New Note will have a maturity date of 12 months from its issuance date (as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate of 12%, 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.
Beginning on the three-month anniversary of the issuance
date and continuing monthly, VWH predecessor must repay $
VWH predecessor may, at its option, redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the New Note by providing written notice to the Investor, provided the VWAP of the Common Stock was less than the conversion price on the notice date (unless otherwise agreed). The redemption amount includes the principal being redeemed, a 5% redemption premium, and accrued interest. The Investor has 10 trading days to elect to convert any portion of the New Note before redemption.
The New Note is convertible at any time into shares
of Common Stock at $
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, VWH predecessor granted the Investor a right of first refusal for 12 months following September 11, 2025, with respect to any financing transaction involving the issuance or sale of securities (including debt, equity, equity-linked securities, notes, or debentures, but excluding ATM offerings at prevailing market prices). VWH predecessor must provide written notice of any such proposed transaction, and the Investor has 10 business days to elect to participate. If the Investor declines, VWH predecessor may proceed with a third party on terms no more beneficial than those offered to the Investor, within 60 days.
The New 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. VWH predecessor may not engage in variable rate transactions while the New Note is outstanding, subject to exceptions.
Consulting Agreement
On September 26, 2025, VWH predecessor finalized and entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Crypto Treasury Management Group, LLC (“CTMG”), pursuant to which CTMG will provide advisory and strategic services to assist VWH predecessor 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.
F-87
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 VWH predecessor’s 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 management’s ability to execute effectively, VWH predecessor 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. VWH predecessor, 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 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 VWH predecessor’s board of directors or required by regulatory bodies. VWH predecessor 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
References to “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” are to VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (successor) as the successor to Bannix Acquisition Corp., except where the context requires otherwise. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
Explanatory Note:
This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of VisionWave Holdings Inc. for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (the “Original Report”) is being filed solely to include the separate financial statements of VisionWave Holdings Inc. (the accounting acquirer) and Bannix Acquisition Corp. (the legal acquirer) for periods prior to their business combination, as required by Rule 15-01(e) of Regulation S-X.
On July 14, 2025, VisionWave Technologies Inc. (“VW Tech”) completed its business combination with Bannix Acquisition Corp. (“Bannix”) pursuant to a double-dummy merger structure. The business combination, consummated on July 14, 2025, was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under ASC 805-40. As part of the transaction, both VW Tech and Bannix became wholly owned subsidiaries of a newly formed parent company, VisionWave Holdings Inc. (“the Company”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed by VisionWave Holdings Inc. under its current name and CIK. However, because the business combination closed after the period covered by this report (June 30, 2025), the financial statements and related disclosures presented herein reflect the historical operations of Bannix Acquisition Corp. The operations of VW Tech will be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning with the Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2025.
Except as described above, conforming related references in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Index to Financial Statements, and updating Note 11—Subsequent Events,this Amendment does not modify, update, or amend any other information set forth in the Original Report and does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report.
Overview
We were a blank check company incorporated on January 21, 2021 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
On September 14, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 6,900,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock (the “Public Shares”), one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of our common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the issuance of 406,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) as follows: we sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 private placement units to our Former Sponsor in exchange for the cancellation of $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of our common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of our common stock upon the consummation of our Business Combination. Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating our Business Combination.
Upon the closing of the initial public offering on September 14, 2021, a total of $69,690,000 of the net proceeds was deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of our public stockholders.
Recent Developments
Stockholder Meetings
As discussed throughout this report, the Company has held shareholder meetings on March 8, 2023, March 8, 2024, September 6, 2024 and March 7, 2025, pursuant to which the stockholders approved the filing of an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Extension Amendment”), to extend the date (the “Extension”) by which the Company must (1) complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (an “initial Business Combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial Business Combination, and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s common stock (“common stock”) included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”).
1
At the March 7, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved an Extension Amendment, to extend the Deadline Date from March 14, 2025, as extended, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to three (3) times by an additional one (1) month each time after March 14, 2025 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, if requested by the Company’s Sponsor, until June 14, 2025, or a total of up to three (3) months after March 14, 2025, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “March 2025 Extension Amendment”). The stockholders also approved the Trust Amendment to the Trust Agreement by and between the Company and the Trustee incorporating the terms as set forth in the above extension. Beginning in March 2025, the Sponsor or its designees deposited into the Trust Account, as a loan, $4,983 or $0.05 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding (the “Contribution”), in connection with each Extension. Further, at the March 8, 2024 meeting, the stockholders approved the removal of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the redemption limitation contained under Section 9.2(a) preventing the Company from closing a Business Combination if it would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets in order to expand the methods that the Company may employ so as not to become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “NTA Amendment”).
In order to fund deposits required to allow for such extension, we obtained loans from Instant Fame, LLC and Evie Group evidenced by non-interest-bearing promissory notes that are payable upon the consummation of a business combination by us. If we fail to consummate a business combination, the outstanding debt under the promissory notes will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the trust account after paying all other fees and expenses of the Company.
If we have not completed our initial business combination by June 14, 2025, as extended, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
At the aforementioned stockholder meetings, stockholders holding a total of 6,800,334 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $72,575,869 was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders.
On May 22, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “May 2025 Special Meeting”) whereby the Company’s stockholders approved the proposals described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2025 (the “May 9, 2025 Proxy Statement”). The approved proposals include (i) the proposed Business Combination (2) the stock issuance plan, (3) the incentive plan proposal and (4) the director election proposal.
In connection with the vote at the May 2025 Special Meeting, stockholders holding a 83,313 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s trust account. As a result, $972,722 (approximately $11.67 per share) will be removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. On July 17, 2025 the stockholders redeeming their share at the May 22, 2025 Special Meeting were paid for their redeemed shares. Following redemptions, the Company had 2,540,353 shares outstanding prior to the Merger.
In association with the Company’s special meetings and annual meeting, as of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company has deposited an aggregate of $1,857,358 into the Trust Account to extend the Deadline Date.
Associated with the special meetings and annual meeting, and related redemptions, the company recognized an excise tax equal to 1% of the value of the redeeming shares or $913,292. As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company has not filed its 2024 excise tax return and no amounts have been paid. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s excise tax liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet includes $177,806 in excise tax interest and penalties.

Deadline Date Extension
In connection with the March 7, 2025 Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company approved the extension of the Deadline date to March 14, 2025 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, if requested by the Company’s Sponsor, until June 14, 2025.
Prior to the June 14, 2025, Deadline Date, management of the Company, representing a majority of the Company’s stockholders, held a meeting with the trustee of the Trust Account to request the Trust Account not be liquidated due to the pending regulatory approval of the proposed Business Combination, discussed below. The trustee exercised administrative authority and agreed to the temporary extension of the Deadline Date pending a stockholder meeting. Before a stockholder meeting could be held to extend the Deadline Date, final regulatory approval was granted by Nasdaq and the Company closed on its proposed Business Combination.

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 (“Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to 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.
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to Investor’s 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 has agreed to advance 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 will be disbursed 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 will be 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at 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”),
7
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 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”).
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 Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset of the Convertible Notes (“Investor Advance”). Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Investor Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause 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 Investor 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 Investor, except with respect to Investor Advances. Actual sales of shares of common stock to Investor as an 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 Company’s 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 Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. We have the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to 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 Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes. The Company and Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor 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 Investor’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid Investor, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $35,000 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 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.

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
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).
In addition, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Investor agreed to fund an additional $2,000,000 in principal amount (the “Additional Advance”) under the terms of a new convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “New Note” and, together with the Second Note, the “Additional Notes”) upon the effectiveness of the registration statement filed by the Company on August 29, 2025, in connection with the SEPA (the “Registration Statement”). The purchase price for the New Note will be $1,880,000 (94% of the principal amount, reflecting a 6% discount). The Company acknowledged in the Letter Agreement that it is not required to modify, amend, or supplement the existing Registration Statement to include any shares underlying the New Note, and, other than as may be set forth in the New Note, the Company is not obligated to file a new registration statement relating to such shares.
Terms of the Second Note
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.
If an Amortization Event occurs (defined as a Floor Price Event, Exchange Cap Event, or Registration Event, as set forth in the Second Note), the Company must make monthly cash payments beginning on the 10th trading day after the Amortization Event Date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month until the entire outstanding principal amount is repaid. Each monthly payment equals the sum of (i) $750,000 of principal (or the outstanding principal if less), (ii) a 7% payment premium on such principal amount, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest. The obligation to make such payments ceases if the Amortization Event is cured.
11
The Company may, at its option, redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Second Note by providing written notice to the Investor, provided the VWAP of the common stock was less than the fixed conversion price on the notice date (unless otherwise agreed). The redemption amount includes the principal being redeemed, a 5% redemption premium, and accrued interest. The Investor has 10 trading days to elect to convert any portion of the Second Note before redemption.
The Second Note is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s 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.
Terms of the New Note
The New Note will have a maturity date of 12 months from its issuance date (as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate of 12%, 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.
Beginning on the three-month anniversary of the issuance date and continuing monthly, the Company must repay $200,000 of principal (or the outstanding principal if less), plus a 7% payment premium and accrued interest (the “Installment Amount”). The Company may pay the Installment Amount in cash or by submitting Advance Notices under the SEPA (with proceeds offsetting the Installment Amount). Any Advance Notice while the New Note is outstanding is treated as repayment first.
The Company may, at its option, redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the New Note by providing written notice to the Investor, provided the VWAP of the Common Stock was less than the conversion price on the notice date (unless otherwise agreed). The redemption amount includes the principal being redeemed, a 5% redemption premium, and accrued interest. The Investor has 10 trading days to elect to convert any portion of the New Note before redemption.
The New Note is convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock at $12.00 per share, subject to adjustments for stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, and dilutive issuances below the conversion price (with certain exclusions). Conversions are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.
The New 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 New Note is outstanding, subject to exceptions.
Additional Covenants in the Letter Agreement
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company granted the Investor a right of first refusal for 12 months following September 11, 2025, with respect to any financing transaction involving the issuance or sale of securities (including debt, equity, equity-linked securities, notes, or debentures, but excluding ATM offerings at prevailing market prices). The Company must provide written notice of any such proposed transaction, and the Investor has 10 business days to elect to participate. If the Investor declines, the Company may proceed with a third party on terms no more beneficial than those offered to the Investor, within 60 days.

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 Company’s treasury; and (iii) 250,000 shares of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 management’s 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 Company’s 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.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern - Bannix Acquisition Corp. (Predecessor)
As of June 30, 2025, Bannix had $885 in cash and a working capital deficit of $6,206,265.
Bannix’s liquidity needs through June 30, 2025, were satisfied through (1) a capital contribution from the Sponsors of $28,750 for common stock (“Founder Shares”) and (2) loans from Former Sponsor and Sponsor and related parties in order to pay offering costs and other working capital needs. In addition, in order to fund transaction costs in connection with a possible Business Combination, Bannix’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, and/or certain of Bannix’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide Bannix Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no loans associated with Working Capital Loans. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Bannix owed $2,106,406 and $1,811,700 to the Former Sponsor, the Sponsor, related parties and affiliated related parties, respectively. See Note 6 for further disclosure of Former Sponsor, Sponsor, related parties and affiliated related party loans.
As additional sources of funding, Bannix issued unsecured promissory notes to Evie Autonomous LTD (“Evie”) with a principal amount of $1,003,995 (the “Evie Autonomous Extension Notes”). The Evie Autonomous Extension Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of Bannix’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of Bannix’s liquidation. If Bannix does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
On December 26, 2024 and revised on February 4, 2025, April 19, 2025 and May 25, 2025, Bannix entered into several agreements to defer certain transaction costs and obligations associated with its proposed Business Combination until after the closing of the proposed Business Combination. The deferred obligations include:
| ● | transaction costs of approximately $300,000 related to legal and financial advisory services provided in connection with the proposed Business Combination. These costs will be payable no later than three (3) months following the closing of the proposed Business Combination, | |
| ● | promissory notes - Evie in the amount of $1,003,995 due only after any Pre-Paid Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid in full, see Note 11, | |
| ● | an aggregate of $2,019,200 owed to the Sponsor and its affiliates, including promissory notes, administrative support fees, and advances due only after any Pre-Paid Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid in full, see Note 11. |
On January 19, 2025, the CEO of Bannix agreed to defer $110,400 of compensation expense due him. These costs would have been payable no later than three (3) months following the closing of the proposed Business Combination. On May 25, 2025, the agreement was modified such that the payable is due only after any Pre-Paid Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid in full, see Note 11.
All deferred payments will be made exclusively from the working capital of the post-closing entity or funds raised following the closing. These deferments provide Bannix with the financial flexibility to focus on completing the transaction while ensuring that all obligations are met within the agreed timeframes.
On April 8, 2025, with an effective date of March 31, 2025, Bannix 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 Bannix, sufficient to fund the working capital needs through August 13, 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 Bannix’s 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.
17
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the funds Bannix has available is sufficient to meet its operating needs through the consummation of a Business Combination through the temporarily extended Deadline Date. Over this time period, Bannix will be utilizing the funds available to it to pay existing accounts payable and consummating the proposed Business Combination.
Bannix is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of June 30, 2025. In connection with Bannix’s assessment of going concern considerations, Bannix had a temporarily extended deadline date beyond the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date to consummate a Business Combination. Bannix closed on its proposed Business Combination on July 14, 2025 alleviating the mandatory liquidation requirement.
On April 9, 2025, VisionWave Technologies entered into a non-exclusive placement agent engagement agreement (the “Engagement Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), pursuant to which Maxim will act as VisionWave’s non-exclusive placement agent in connection with a potential private placement of up to $10 million of equity or equity-linked securities (the “Offering”). The Offering is expected to be conducted on a “commercially reasonable efforts” basis, and there is no assurance that the Offering will be completed, or that any definitive agreements with investors will be entered into. Under the terms of the Engagement Agreement, VisionWave retains full discretion to accept or reject any investment proposals and will determine the final terms and structure of the Offering, subject to market conditions and investor interest. Maxim will be entitled to a cash placement fee equal to seven percent (7.0%) of the gross proceeds received by VisionWave from any investor introduced by Maxim and listed in exhibit to the Engagement Agreement. In addition, VisionWave agreed to reimburse Maxim for up to $25,000 in out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the engagement, subject to certain conditions and prior approvals.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern - VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Predecessor)
VWH predecessor was formed on September 24, 2024 for the purpose of consummating a business combination and is not anticipated to exist upon consummation of the Merger Agreement. VWH predecessor has selected September 30 as its fiscal year end. However, VWH predecessor used December 31 as the comparative for the results of operations.
The parent company, Bannix, is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of June 30, 2025. In connection with VWH predecessor’s assessment of going concern considerations, VWH predecessor had a temporarily extended deadline date beyond the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date to consummate a Business Combination. Bannix closed on its proposed Business Combination on July 14, 2025 alleviating the mandatory liquidation requirement.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the funds VWH predecessor has available is sufficient to meet its operating needs through the consummation of a Business Combination through the temporarily extended Deadline Date. Over this time period, VWH predecessor will be utilizing the funds available to it to pay existing accounts payable and consummating the proposed Business Combination.
In connection with preparing the financial statements for the Three and Six months ended June 30, 2025, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about VWH predecessor’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.
As of June 30, 2025, VWH predecessor had no cash, a working capital deficit of $66,309 and no sources of funding other than funds that may be obtained from related parties.
Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due.
VWH predecessor 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, Bannix, together with VWH predecessor, entered into a Funding Support Agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC (“Stanley Hills”), the principal shareholder of the VisionWave Technologies, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, Stanley Hills irrevocably and unconditionally committed to provide financial support to Bannix, sufficient to fund working capital needs for a period not less than twelve (12) months from the date of release/issuance of the financial statement.
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 applicable entity’s Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair Bannix’s 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 and closing of the business combination elevated the risk about VWH predecessor’s 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.
The merger closing triggered substantial, actionable, and committed below funding access:
● Investor A is actively pushing to draw $2 million immediately and has committed to a $50 million equity line.
● Investor B has offered the Company $2 million in $300K tranches, and is likewise eager for us to proceed post-closing.
● Investor C is to finalize their $18 million ELOC and a $5 million pre-paid advance.

Cash Flow Analysis
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $44,500. VWH predecessor had a net loss of $75,056. We benefited by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $30,556. Cash provided by financing activities was $44,500 which was proceeds from related parties.
Critical Accounting Estimates - VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Successor)
The preparation of these 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:
Fair Value of Warrant Liability
The Company accounted for the Private Placement 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, the Company classified the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. The Public Warrants are classified as equity.

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 Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
20
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 Company’s financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on September 10, 2021, the holders of the founder shares, the private placement units and private placement units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the closing date of this offering requiring us to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriters Agreement
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $225,000 in the aggregate which will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts to be brought in by the sponsors solely in the event that we complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a business combination marketing fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the sale of Units in the initial public offering held in the trust account upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of June 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting of complex financial instruments, fair value measurements, prepaid expense, income and franchise taxes and legal and professional fees.
Except as described in the Explanatory Note, conforming related references in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and the Index to Financial Statements, and updating Note 11—Subsequent Events, this Amendment does not modify, update, or amend any other information set forth in the Original Report and does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management team, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
21
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Material Weakness
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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. In light of the SEC Staff Statement, the Company’s management reevaluated the terms of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (together, the “warrants”), and determined that the Public Warrants should be classified as a component of equity. Our Private Placement Warrants were correctly reported as a liability measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in earnings each reporting period.
Additionally, management evaluated the impacts of the transfer of shares to Anchor Investors. The transfer of shares to the Anchor Investors were fair valued as of the grant date and that fair value was allocated to the offering costs of the Company.
Associated with the reclassification of the Public Warrants to equity and the valuation of the Anchor Investor shares, the allocation of offering costs was re-allocated.
Additionally, we had a misstatement in our prepaid expense, income and franchise taxes and legal fees.
As a result of these reevaluations, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for complex financial instruments and fair value measurements and the failure to properly design the financial closing and reporting process to record, review and monitor compliance with generally accepted accounting principles for transactions on a timely basis.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to remediate our material weakness, as more fully described above. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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 Company’s 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 VisionWave’s 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 Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting and reporting of complex financial instruments. As a result of this material weakness, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025. See Part I. Item 4. Controls and Procedures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have taken measures to remediate the material weaknesses described herein. However, if we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. The existence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares. We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. Even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.
23
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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Short Term Funding
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 of 12% 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
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 (“Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to 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.
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to Investor’s 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.
24
In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, Investor has agreed to advance 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 will be disbursed 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 will be 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at 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 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”).
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 Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset of the Convertible Notes (“Investor Advance”). Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Investor Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause 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 Investor 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 Investor, except with respect to Investor Advances. Actual sales of shares of common stock to Investor as an 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 Company’s 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 Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. We have the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to 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 Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes. The Company and Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor 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 Investor’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid Investor, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $35,000 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.
25
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.
Executives’ Employment Agreements
On August 6, 2025, the Company entered into employment agreements (each, an “Employment Agreement”) with Douglas Davis, as Executive Chairman, Noam Kenig, as Chief Executive Officer, and Danny Rittman, as Chief Technology Officer (collectively, the “Executives”). Each Employment Agreement has an initial term of three (3) years, commencing on August 6, 2025, and is subject to automatic one-year renewals thereafter unless terminated by either party with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. Additionally, pursuant to the Employment Agreements and under the Plan (subject to shareholder approval thereof), the Company granted non-statutory stock options (each, an “Option”) to the Executives as follows:
| ● | Mr. Davis and Mr. Kenig were each granted Options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock. | |
| ● | Mr. Rittman was granted an Option to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock. |
Each Option has an exercise price of $7.20 per share (to be determined as the fair market value on the grant date) and vests in twelve (12) equal quarterly installments over four (4) years, commencing on the date of shareholder approval of the Plan (the “Approval Date”). The Options are exercisable for five (5) years from the grant date and allow for cashless exercise. The grants are contingent upon shareholder approval of the Plan; if not approved, the Options will be null and void.
The above securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as the issuances did not involve a public offering, and no underwriters were involved.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Item 5. Other Information
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
