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”).
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”), 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.
Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
On August 5, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).

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.
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.
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.

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $1,168,644 consisting of demand deposit accounts (and including $972,722 payable to stockholders redeeming their shares at the May 2025 Special Meeting).

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.
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

Controls and procedures
As filed, 6,363 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
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.
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.
Risk factors
As filed, 3,659 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
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.
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.
