Company Overview
We
are dedicated to simplifying the journey towards creating a world in which virtually everyone and everything is intelligently connected,
while bringing applications and AI to the edge of the network. Most service providers, equipment suppliers, system integrators and even
hyperscalers have adopted or advocated for similar solutions to various degrees either independently or in collaboration with the Company.
However, to our knowledge, we are the first to market with patented technologies that a) bring virtualized data center capabilities to
the far edge of the network, commonly referred to as the Device Edge, where all wired and wireless devices connect to the network, b)
spawns hyperconvergence of computing, multiaccess communications and storage, c) provides for Cloud-managed applications at the Edge,
d) enables machine learning with AI training, inferencing, and agentic AI at the Edge including AI-driven cybersecurity for heterogenous
networks. Such networks are given rise through any combination of our developed devices and third-party devices, with CPUs, GPUs, TPUs,
DPUs and/or NPUs, that run the Veea Edge Platform Ô software
stack.
Veea has developed several
generations of highly integrated all-in-one devices that incorporate a Linux server, with a virtualized software environment, supporting
our patented secured docker containers, together with a Wi-Fi Access Point with a mesh router, a firewall, an IoT gateway, NVMe data storage
and 4G/5G modules, referred to as the “VeeaHub” product. With an extensive patent portfolio of approximately 125 granted patents
and 25 pending patent applications that cover 26 patent families, our end-to-end Hybrid Edge-Cloud Computing platform represents a new
product category that has the potential for wide scale customer adoption in large segments of consumer and enterprise markets.
VeeaONE Platform’s
products, applications, and services with a distributed computing architecture, offered as a Platform-as-a-Service capability, empower
companies to capitalize on the transformative potential of Edge AI, where most of the data from smartphones, tablets, laptops, cameras,
sensors, and other devices is generated, with data privacy and sovereignty, reliability, low latency for real-time decisions, bandwidth
efficiency, scalability, and reduced costs compared to alternatives.
25
VeeaHub
products, about the size of a typical Wi-Fi Access Point, are offered in variety of forms with different capabilities for indoor and outdoor
coverage and are both locally- and cloud-managed. Veea Edge Platform architecture and business model, VeeaHub Ò
and third-party devices on Veea Edge Platform with Hybrid Edge-Cloud Computing
and AI-enabled applications and services resemble the Android OS platform architecture and business model for Android devices.
The VeeaONE Platform offers
a complement, and in some cases an alternative, to cloud computing by enabling the formation of highly secure, but easily accessible,
private clouds and networks across one or multiple user(s) or enterprise location(s) across the globe. Benefits of the Veea Edge Platform
include optimal latency, lower data transport costs, data privacy, security and ownership, Edge AI, as well as “always-on”
availability for mission critical applications, and contextual awareness for people, devices and things connected to the Internet.
Veea earns revenue primarily
from the sale of its VeeaHub® devices, licenses, and subscriptions.

Note Purchase Agreements and Convertible Promissory
Notes
On April 17, 2025, and May
13, 2025, the Company and the majority stockholder of the Seller (“Crowdkeep Investor”), entered into two Note Purchase Agreements
(the “Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements”). Pursuant to the Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements, the Crowdkeep Investor loaned
to the Company an aggregate of $1,000,000 in two tranches (the “Crowdkeep Loans”), of which $500,000 was provided on April
17, 2025 and $500,000 was provided on May 13, 2025. In connection with the entry into the Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements the Company
issued to the Crowdkeep Investor unsecured convertible promissory notes (the “Crowdkeep Convertible Notes”). The Crowdkeep
Convertible Notes have an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, and the interest under the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes accrues at
an annual rate of 8%. The maturity date of the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes are April 17, 2026, and May 13, 2026, respectively.
Pursuant to the terms of
the Convertible Notes, upon an event of default, the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Crowdkeep Convertible Note, plus accrued
but unpaid interest, will become immediately due and payable in full. Events of default include failure to pay any principal or interest
amounts under the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes, failure to perform covenants in the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes and certain bankruptcy
and insolvency conditions of the Company. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes at any time. The
Crowdkeep Convertible Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock (the “Crowdkeep Conversion Shares”)
at the option of the Crowdkeep Investor, at a price per share of $5.00 subject to certain equitable adjustments. The Crowdkeep Convertible
Notes will automatically convert on the date that the closing price of the Common Stock is at $7.50 or above for ten (10) consecutive
trading days within any consecutive thirty (30) trading day period, equal to the lesser of (i) $7.50 per share and (ii) 20% multiplied
by the VWAP (calculated as set forth in the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes) for the prior consecutive thirty (30) trading day period, in
each case subject to certain equitable adjustments. The Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements and Crowdkeep Convertible Notes include other
customary terms and conditions.
The above description of
the Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements and Crowdkeep Convertible Notes are qualified in their entirety by the text of the Form of Note
Purchase Agreement and Form of Convertible Note, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated
herein by reference.
Lock-Up Agreements
In connection with the Crowdkeep
APA and the Crowdkeep Note Purchase Agreements, the Seller and the Crowdkeep Investor entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which
the Seller and the Crowdkeep Investor agreed not to effect any sale, distribution or transfer of any of the shares of Common Stock received
in the transaction or any Crowdkeep Conversion Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and restrictions against selling short
or hedging the Company’s securities for a period of six (6) months following the applicable closing of the APA or the Crowdkeep
Note Purchase Agreement, respectively, subject to certain limited exceptions.
The form of lock-up agreement
signed by the Seller is herein referred to as the “Crowdkeep Lock-Up Agreement” and the form of lock-up agreement signed by
the Investor is herein referred to as the “Crowdkeep Noteholder Lock-Up Agreement.” The Crowdkeep Lock-Up Agreement and the
Crowdkeep Noteholder Lock-Up Agreement have substantially similar terms, but the Crowdkeep Lock-Up Agreement provides for distributions
by the Seller to the Seller’s stockholders, pro rata based on their ownership of Seller, subject to certain conditions.
The foregoing description
of the Crowdkeep Lock-Up Agreement and Crowdkeep Noteholder Lock-Up Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety
by the terms and conditions of the form of Crowdkeep Lock-Up Agreement and form of Crowdkeep Noteholder Lock-Up Agreement, copies of which
are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 and Exhibit 10.5, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Components of Results of Operations
Sales, net
The Company recognizes revenue
based on the satisfaction of distinct obligations to transfer goods and services to customers. The Company generates revenue from hardware
sales and the sale of licenses and subscriptions. The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in ASC 606, “ Revenue from
Contracts with Customers ”, in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identify the contract with
a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction
price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when a corresponding performance obligation is satisfied.
Most contracts with customers are to provide distinct products or services within a single contract. However, if a contract is separated
into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based
on the estimated relative standalone selling price.
For licenses of technology,
recognition of revenue is dependent upon whether the Company has delivered rights to the technology, and whether there are future performance
obligations under the contract. Revenue from non-refundable upfront payments is recognized when the license is transferred to the customer
and the Company has no other performance obligations. Revenue for licenses delivered under a subscription model having terms between one
and twelve-months are recognized over time. Subscription revenue is generated through sales of monthly subscriptions. Customers pay in
advance for the licenses and subscriptions. Revenue is initially deferred and is recognized using the straight-line method over the term
of the applicable subscription period.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists
primarily of the cost of finished goods, components purchased for manufacturing and freight. Cost of goods sold also includes third-party
vendor costs related to cloud hosting fees.
Operating Expenses
We classify our operating
expenses into the following categories:
●
Product development expenses . Product development expenses primarily consist of employee compensation, employee benefits, stock-based compensation related to technology developers and product management employees, as well as fees paid for outside services and materials.
●
Sales and marketing expenses . Sales and marketing expenses consist of compensation and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in selling, marketing and sales support functions. Selling expenses also include marketing and the costs associated with customer evaluations. The Company does not currently incur advertising costs.
●
General and administrative expenses . General and administrative expenses consist of compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense) for employees and executive management, and expenses associated with finance, tax, and human resources. General and administrative expenses also includes transaction costs, expenses associated with facilities, information technology, external professional services, legal costs and settlement of legal claims and other administrative expenses.
●
Depreciation and amortization : Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of Veea’s property and equipment and amortization of Veea’s patents and other intellectual property.
●
Impairment: Impairment consists of impairment charges related to our in-process research and development (“IPR&D”)

Revenue, net
The Company generated revenue
of $72,927 and $40,811 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and revenue of $87,168 and $57,581 for the six months ended
June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue has been principally earned from paid pilots for our VeeaHub ® devices. Our
focus over the past several years has been on field testing and refining our product to meet customer needs as well as market developments.
As a result of these efforts, we expect revenue to grow over the next several quarters through the sales of our hardware, licenses and
subscriptions. We are especially focused in four principal market opportunities: 1) Digital Equity and Inclusion, 2) Energy and Sustainability
solutions for Smart Buildings and Climate Smart Agriculture, 3) Convergence of Fixed, Wireless, and 5G Networks, and 4) Smart Retail and
Smart Warehouses.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold decreased
by $26,119, or 85%, in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of goods sold decreased
by $37,540, or 88%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily related
to earning more service based revenue in the quarter as opposed to paid pilots for our VeeaHub ® devices.
30
Product Development Expense
Product development expense
decreased by $648,529, or 92%, in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and decreased
by $625,101, or 79%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in product development
expenses was due to decreased internal development and costs incurred by outside contractors related to products manufactured during the
period.
Sales and Marketing Expense
Sales and marketing expense
decreased by $251,625, or 86%, in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and sales and
marketing expense increased by $11,362, or 3%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The
decrease is primarily due both a reduction in unpaid customer pilots and costs incurred from an outside consulting service.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative
expense decreased by $1,034,307, or 18%, in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and
decreased by $1,114,771, or 10%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease for
the quarter is primarily related to the Company’s continued cost reduction measures.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization
increased by $76,142, or 111%, in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and increased
by $67,282, or 49%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to additional
amortization for the Crowdkeep technology.
Other income, net
Other income, net relates
to immaterial non-operating transactions incurred during the period. These amounts were immaterial for the three months ended June 30,
2025 and 2024 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities
Change in fair value of derivative
liabilities is comprised of the fair value adjustment to the conversion option, Private Warrants, and earn-out shares at balance sheet
date. The gain on the change in fair value of conversion note option liability of $59,730 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was
determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The gain on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of for the six months
ended June 30, 2025, was determined based on the trading value of the public warrants. The gain on the change in fair value of the Earn-Out
Share Liability of $8,800,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. A significant driver
of the changes in fair value was due to the decline in the Company’s stock price.
Other expense
Other expenses relate to
immaterial non-operating expenses incurred during the period. These amounts were immaterial for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and
2024 and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased
by $11,076, or 2%, in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense increased
by $478,639, or 53%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to additional
draws on our revolving line of credit.

June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred operating losses of $4.9 million and $6.8 million, respectively, and during the six months
ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred operating losses of $10.7 million and $12.4 million, respectively, and had an accumulated
deficit of $220.9 million as of June 30, 2025. Since its inception, the Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative
cash flows. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses as it continues to grow and scale its business. As of June 30, 2025, the
Company had cash of $238,008 and outstanding debt of $20.2 million, of which $750,000 was outstanding under the September 2024 Notes (as
defined below), $1.0 million was outstanding under the Crowdkeep Convertible Notes (as defined below), $14.0 million was outstanding under
the working capital facility, $2,626,000 was related party debt outstanding under the NLabs 2025 Notes (as defined below), and $1.8 million
was outstanding under a notes payable with an inventory vendor.
Although the Company has had recurring losses
each year since inception, the Company plans to fund its operations and capital funding needs for the next 12 months through a combination
of private and public equity and debt offerings, or a combination thereof, including (1) cash proceeds of approximately $6.0 million from
the Offering (as defined below), (2) the ELOC Program (as defined below) (3) the expected cash tax refund of up to $1.0 million in respect
of the Company’s UK subsidiary’s 2023 and 2024 research and development activities and (4) potential additional investments
in the form of debt or equity to fund operating deficits from existing and/or new investors, including related parties, which may include
the Company’s CEO and his affiliates. The Company has a reasonable basis to believe it has alleviated substantial doubt regarding
its ability to continue as a going concern. Since January 1, 2025, the Company has received approximately $3.2 million in additional loans
from related parties and $1.0 million in loans from unrelated parties in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of Crowdkeep.
See Note 13 for additional information. Although management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will
be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated
financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA, as described below, to understand
and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may differ from similarly titled measures used by
other companies, is presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered
a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
The primary financial measure
we use is Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income, before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. We define Adjusted
EBITDA as net (loss) income excluding income tax provision, interest expense, net of interest income from related party loans, depreciation
and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and non-core expenses/losses (gains), including transaction-related costs, litigation-related
costs, management fees, changes in fair value of liabilities, change in fair value of earn-out share liabilities and other expense, which
includes asset impairments. Our management uses this measure internally to evaluate the performance of our business and this measure is
one of the primary metrics by which our internal budgets are based. We exclude the above items as some are non-cash in nature, and others
are non-recurring that they may not be representative of normal operating results. This non-GAAP financial measure adjusts for the impact
of items that we do not consider indicative of the operational performance of our business. While we believe that this non-GAAP financial
measure is useful in evaluating our business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute
for the related financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
