Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Rules
13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we, under the supervision
and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were (a) designed to ensure that the information we are required
to disclose in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed and reported in an accurate manner and on a timely basis and
the information that we are required to disclose in our Exchange Act reports is accumulated and communicated to management to permit timely
decisions with respect to required disclosure and (b) operating in an effective manner.
Management’s
Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, and effected by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
U.S. GAAP.
Our
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
1. Pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and our dispositions of assets;
2. Provide
reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Board of
Directors; and
3. Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect
to financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In
connection with the preparation of our Form 10-K, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2025. In making that assessment, management used the criteria based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework 2013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of December
31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The
rules of the SEC do not require, and this Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public
accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
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.
ITEM
9B. OTHER INFORMATION.
During
the quarterly period ended December 31, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange
Act) adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,”
as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

Family

who is the father of Michael Salmasi, our director and Chief Executive Officer of our subsidiary, Veea Solutions, Inc., there are no family
relationships between any of the executive officers or directors of the Company.
73
Director
or Officer Involvement in Certain Prior Legal Proceedings
Our
directors and executive officers were not involved in any legal proceedings as described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past
ten years, except that we are aware of several non-material claims alleging unpaid fees under ordinary course vendor or contractor agreements.
Director
Independence
Nasdaq
listing rules require that a majority of the board of directors of a company listed on Nasdaq be composed of “independent directors,”
which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having
a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of
independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Company’s Board has determined that each of Douglas
Maine, Kanishka Roy, Gary Cohen and Alan Black is an independent director under the Nasdaq listing rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange
Act. In making these determinations, the Board considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director had with
Veea and has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances the Board deemed relevant in determining independence, including
the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each non-employee director.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
The
standing committees of Company’s Board consists of an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee. The composition of each committee is set forth below.
Audit
Committee
The
Company’s Audit Committee has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act and consists of Douglas
Maine, Gary Cohen and Alan Black, each of whom is an independent director and is “financially literate” as defined under
the Nasdaq listing standards. Douglas Maine serves as chair of the Audit Committee. The Company’s Board has determined that Mr.
Maine qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.
Compensation
Committee
The
Company’s Compensation Committee consists of Gary Cohen and Douglas Maine, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s
listing standards, and Gary Cohen serves as chair of the Compensation Committee.
Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee
The
Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Kanishka Roy and Alan Black, each of whom is an independent
director under Nasdaq’s listing standards, and Kanishka Roy serves as the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on
the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment
bankers and others.
The
guidelines for selecting nominees are specified in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None
of the members of the Company’s compensation committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of the Company. None of the
Company’s executive officers currently serve, or have served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee
or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers that will serve as a member of the Board or compensation
committee.
Role of
the Board in Risk Oversight/Risk Committee
Of
the key functions of the Board is informed oversight of the Company’s risk management process. The Board does not have a standing
risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various
standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. For example, the Company’s
audit committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the Company’s financial reporting, operational,
privacy and cybersecurity, competition, legal, regulatory, compliance and reputational matters; and the Company’s compensation
committee oversees the management of risks associated with our compensation policies and programs.
74
Oversight
of Cybersecurity Risks
The
Company faces a number of risks, including cybersecurity risks and those other risks described under the section titled “Risk
Factors” included in this Annual Report. The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the steps management has taken with
respect to cybersecurity risk exposure. As part of this oversight, the audit committee will receive regular reports from management of
the Company on cybersecurity risk exposure and the actions management has taken to limit, monitor or control such exposures at its regularly
scheduled meetings. Management will work with third party service providers to maintain appropriate controls. We believe this division
of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the Company’s cybersecurity risks and that the Board leadership
structure supports this approach. See “ Item 1C. Cybersecurity ” for additional information.
Limitation
on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The
Charter contains provisions that limit the liability of the directors and officers for damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law. Consequently, the directors will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, and the Company’s officers will not be personally liable to the Company’s stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as an officer, in each case except for any liability for:
●
any breach of the director’s or officer’s
duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;
●
any act or omission not in good faith or which involves
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
●
any transaction from which the director or officer
derived an improper personal benefit; and
●
an illegal dividend, stock repurchase or redemption
under Section 174 of the DGCL.
The
Charter requires the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, its directors,
officers and agents. The Company plans to maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which the directors
and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. Finally, the Charter prohibits
any retroactive changes to the rights or protections or increasing the liability of any director in effect at the time of the alleged
occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.
In
addition, the Company has entered into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. These agreements, among other
things, require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments,
fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of the
Company’s directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the Company’s
request.
We
believe these provisions in the Charter are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers for the Company.
Corporate
Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct
The
Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of its directors
and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable. In addition, the Board has adopted a Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of its employees, officers and directors, including its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and its
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are posted on the Corporate Governance portion of the Company’s website at www.veea.com .
Information contained on or accessible through the Company’s website is not a part of this Annual Report, and the inclusion of
the Company’s website address in this Annual Report is an inactive textual reference only. The Company intends to make any legally
required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of its code of ethics on its website rather than by filing a
Current Report on Form 8-K.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our directors and executive
officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock (referred to herein as the “reporting persons”)
file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our common stock. Such reporting persons are required
by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
Based solely upon a review of copies of Section 16(a) reports and representations
received by us from reporting persons, and without conducting any independent investigation of our own, in fiscal year 2025, all Forms
3, 4 and 5 were timely filed with the SEC by such reporting persons except for (i) Helder Antunes filed one late Form 4 covering one transaction,
(ii) Mark Tubinis filed one late Form 4 covering one transaction, (iii) Michael Salmasi filed one late Form 4 covering one transaction,
(iv) Allen Salmasi filed one late Form 4 covering one transaction, (v) Randal Stephenson filed one late Form 3, and (vi) Janice Smith filed
one late Form 4 covering one transaction.
75
ITEM
11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Overview
We
are currently considered a “smaller reporting company” for purposes of the SEC’s executive compensation and other disclosure
rules. In accordance with such rules, we are required to provide a Summary Compensation Table and an Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal
Year End Table, as well as limited narrative disclosures.
Our
policies with respect to the compensation of our executive officers are administered by the board of directors our Compensation Committee.
The compensation policies we follow are designed to provide for compensation that is sufficient to attract, motivate and retain executives
and to establish an appropriate relationship between executive compensation and the creation of shareholder value. In addition to the
guidance provided by the compensation committee, the board of directors may utilize the services of third parties from time to time in
connection with the recruiting, hiring and determination of compensation awarded to executive employees.
Financial
Restatement
It
is a policy of our Board that the Compensation Committee will, to the extent permitted by governing law, have the sole and absolute authority
to make retroactive adjustments to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to executive officers and certain other officers
where the payment was predicated upon the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a restatement.
Where applicable, the Company will seek to recover any amount determined to have been inappropriately received by the individual executive.
Clawback
Policy
We
have adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, a copy of which is filed as the Exhibit 97.1
to our Annual Report. It is generally our policy that the Company will recoup any incentive compensation erroneously awarded to any current
or former executive officers due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws
during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date the Company determines that an accounting restatement is required.
Policies
and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Non-Public Information
The
Company does not maintain a policy on the timing of awards of options in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information.
Our board and compensation committee did not take into account any material nonpublic information in determining the timing of the equity
awards made to our NEOs in 2024. We did not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value
of our executive compensation in 2024.
Summary
Compensation
We
have also included the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to other officers of the company that may be named
executive officers of the Business Combination. Together, these officers are referred to as our “ named executive officers ”
or “ NEOs .”
76
Other
than as set forth in the table and described more fully below, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, Veea did not pay any fees,
make any equity awards or non-equity awards, or pay any other compensation to the named executive officers. The compensation reported
in this summary compensation table below is not necessarily indicative of how we will compensate our named executive officers in the
future. We expect that we will continue to review, evaluate and modify our compensation framework as a result of becoming a publicly-traded
company, and our compensation program following the consummation of the Business Combination could vary significantly from our historical
practices.

each person known by the
Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock;
●
each of the Company’s

Beneficial
ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security
if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options, warrants and certain other
derivative securities that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days.
In accordance with SEC rules, shares of our common stock which may
be acquired upon exercise of stock options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which become exercisable within 60 days of the
date of the Annual Report are deemed beneficially owned by the holders of such options and warrants and are deemed outstanding for the
purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage
of ownership of any other person.

2025
Public Offering
On August 12, 2025, the Company, entered into a Placement Agency Agreement
with A.G.P. /Alliance Global Partners (“ AGP ”) whereby AGP agreed to act, on a “reasonable best efforts”
basis, as placement agent in connection with the Company’s registered public offering (the “ 2025 Offering ”) of
up to 9,239,096 shares of common stock, each with one accompanying 2025 Investor Warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The Company
also entered into a securities purchase agreement with the investors who purchased the securities in the 2025 Offering.
Included in the aggregate securities purchased are (i) 3,239,096 shares
of common stock and accompanying warrants that were issued to NLabs, an existing stockholder and an affiliate of the Company and the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer, in exchange for the extinguishment of certain of the Company’s outstanding non-convertible promissory notes
in the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest, of $3,239,096, and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants
that were issued to NLabs in consideration of cash payment made by NLabs, along with other investors participating in the offering.
Under
the terms of the 2025 Offering, the Company agreed to sell each share with one accompanying warrant in the Offering at a public offering
price of $1.00 per share with one accompanying warrant. The 2025 Investor Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have
an initial exercise price of $1.10 per share, subject to certain adjustments, and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The
warrants contain ownership limitations pursuant to which a holder does not have the right to exercise any portion of their warrants if
it would result in the holder (together with its affiliates) beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder,
9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
83
The 2025 Offering closed on August 14, 2025. The securities were registered
pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-288878), which was initially filed with the
SEC on July 23, 2025, as amended, and which the Commission declared effective on August 12, 2025, and the registration statement on Form
S-1MEF (File No. 333-289555), filed with the SEC on August 13, 2025.
As compensation for services rendered by AGP in connection with the
2025 Offering, the Company agreed to pay AGP an aggregate cash fee of (i) 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the 2025 Offering
by the investors introduced by AGP plus (ii) 3.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the offering by the investors introduced by
the Company. AGP received no cash fee for any securities purchased by NLabs in the 2025 Offering in satisfaction of the promissory notes.
The Company agreed to reimburse AGP for up to $70,000 for its legal fees, and $10,000 for non-accountable fees and expenses.
The Company received gross proceeds from the 2025 Offering of approximately
$6.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The net proceeds
to the Company from the 2025 Offering, after deducting AGP’s fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses (excluding proceeds
to the Company, if any, from the future exercise of the warrants), were approximately $5.3 million.

Business Combination Related Party Debt with Private Veea
In
2021 and 2022, NLabs and certain of its affiliates made loans to the Company evidenced by promissory notes aggregating $9,500,000 (the
“ Bridge Notes ”). The Bridge Notes bore interest on the outstanding principal at a rate of 10% per annum, calculated
on the basis of a 365-day year. The original maturity date of the Bridge Notes was December 31, 2022, which was extended to December
31, 2023, which was subsequently extended to September 30, 2024. The Company accounted for the extension as a modification of the Bridge
Notes. The unpaid principal amount and accrued unpaid interest on the Bridge Notes was due and payable upon the date of the first to
occur of (i) the maturity date and (ii) the consummation of a debt or equity financing transaction with an unrelated third party.
In
2022 and 2023, NLabs and certain of its affiliates made loans to the Company evidenced by promissory notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $3,098,000 (the “ Promissory Notes ” and collectively with the Bridge Notes, the “ Related Party Notes ”).
The Promissory Notes bore interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate of 10% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 365-day
year. The unpaid principal amount and accrued interest on the Promissory Notes was due and payable upon the earlier of demand and December
31, 2023, which was subsequently extended to September 30, 2024.
Concurrent with the Closing of the Business Combination, all outstanding
Related Party Notes together with accrued interest were converted into shares of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, which shares
were not considered shares of Private Veea and were in addition to the shares of common stock issued to holders of shares of Private Veea.

consideration for the guarantee by the Company’s CEO (then CEO of Private Veea) of Private Veea’s obligations under the certain
revolving loan agreement and a previously outstanding loan agreement with First Republic Bank, which was subsequently acquired by JPMorgan
Chase, Private Veea issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,430,000 shares of Private Veea’s common stock (the “ Loan
Guarantee Warrants ”). The exercise price of the warrants is $0.01 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of seven
years. The warrants were equity classified and had a fair value of $2,189,014 on the date of grant which is recognized as deferred cost
and amortized to interest expense over the life of the loan agreements.
In
December 2021, Private Veea issued warrants to purchase 630,000 shares of common stock in connection with the Bridge Notes issued
to NLabs (the “ Tranche 1 Bridge Note Warrants ”). The exercise price of the warrants is $0.01 per share. The warrants
are exercisable for a period of seven years. The warrants were equity classified and had a relative fair value of $499,416 on the date
of grant which was recognized as original issue discount on the Bridge Notes in the year ended December 31, 2021.
85
In 2022, Private Veea issued warrants to purchase 320,000 shares
of common stock in connection with the Private Veea Bridge Notes issued to NLabs (the “ Tranche 2 Bridge Note Warrants ”
and collectively with the Loan Guarantee Warrants and the Tranche 1 Bridge Note Warrants, the “ Related Party Private Veea Common
Stock Warrants ”). The exercise price of the warrants is $0.01 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of seven
years. The warrants were equity classified and had a fair value of approximately $253,816 on the date of grant which was recognized as
original issue discount on the Private Veea Bridge Notes in the year ended December 31, 2022.
At
the Closing of the Business Combination, the Related Party Private Veea Common Stock Warrants were exercised in whole, on a net basis,
for 3,880,000 shares of common stock of Private Veea at a conversion price of $0.01 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $38,800,
and a total of 21,798 shares of common stock were surrendered in payment of the purchase price.
Pre-Business
Combination Warrant Issuance
On
September 13, 2024, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Private Veea, Plum and the holders of certain notes
(the “ Private Veea Noteholders ”) issued by Private Veea entered into Note Conversion Agreements, pursuant to
which each Private Veea Noteholder agreed that principal and accrued interest under such notes shall convert into common stock at the
Closing of the Business Combination at a per share value of $5.00, and that such shares shall be subject to a five-month lock-up period.
At the Closing of the Business Combination, the notes having an aggregate of $15,739,846 in principal and accrued interest were converted
into 3,147,970 shares of common stock.
SPAC
Private Placement Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing
of the Plum IPO, the Plum Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,256,218 SPAC Private Placement Warrants at a price of $11.50 per SPAC
Private Placement Warrant in a private placement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to sale of the SPAC
Private Placement Warrants. The issuance of the SPAC Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration
contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The SPAC Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions
that are identical to those of the public warrants, except where the context otherwise requires or where otherwise indicated.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Veea Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholder’s equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December
31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
auditing standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ PKF O’Connor Davies, LLP
We have served as the Company’s auditor
since 2023.

- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The
Company is dedicated to simplifying the journey towards creating a world in which virtually everyone and everything is intelligently
connected, while bringing applications and artificial intelligence 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 (“Hybrid Edge-Cloud Computing”), and (d) enables machine learning with AI training, inferencing,
and agentic AI at the edge (“Edge AI”) including AI-driven cybersecurity for heterogenous networks. Such networks have given
rise through any combination of our developed devices and third-party devices, with CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, DPUs and/or NPUs, that run on the
VeeaONE platform’s software stack. Our end-to-end edge-cloud platform is referred to as VeeaONETM (“VeeaONE”) platform.
Veea
has developed several generations of highly integrated all-in-one devices that incorporate a Linux server, with a virtualized software

- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial
statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.
All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We consolidate any variable interest entity
(“VIE”) where we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity which has both: (i)
the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation
to absorb losses or receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has one VIE, VeeaSystems
MX. Transactions with VeeaSystems MX were immaterial during all the periods presented and are not separately disclosed.
Basis
of Accounting
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted under GAAP.
Use
of Estimates
Management
of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial
statements in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances.
These estimates, judgments, and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and the related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in such estimates could affect
amounts reported in future periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to:
liquidity and going concern, the useful lives and recoverability of property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets; the
recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination
of the allowance for credit losses; inventory, including the determination of allowances for estimated excess or obsolescence; the fair
value of warrants; the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements; the fair value of the ELOC (Note 10);
unrecognized tax benefits; legal contingencies; and the valuation of stock-based compensation, among others.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
The
Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new
or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private
companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that
have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth
company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these
financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company
effective dates.
F- 9
Segment
Information
ASC
Topic No. 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information
about operating segments in their annual consolidated financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information
about operating segments in interim financial reports. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company’s business segments are based on the organization structure used by
the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making operating and investment decisions and for assessing performance.
The
Company operates as a single operating segment. The CODM assesses the performance of and decides how to allocate resources
for the one segment based on consolidated net loss. Further, EBITDA (earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization),
which is not presented on the face of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, is used to assist with the measurement
of segment performance and allocate resources. The CODM also uses net loss and adjusted EBITDA, to decide the level of investment in
various operating activities and other capital allocation activities. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reportable
segment and operating segment. The majority of the Company’s assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, were attributable to
its U.S. operations. The Company’s long-lived assets are based on the physical location of the assets. For year ended December
31, 2025, substantially all of the Company’s revenue was attributable to its U.S. operations and not materially concentrated among
customers. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total Assets.
Fair
Value Measurement
Fair
value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous
market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels
of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1 -
Observable
inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 -
Other
inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,
quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are derived principally
from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 -
Unobservable
inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information
available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
The
Company issued common stock warrants classified as equity securities which do not require recurring fair value measurement. See Note
11 – Warrants for the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of such common stock warrants .
Business
Combinations
The
Company evaluates whether acquired net assets should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying
a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable
asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies
its judgement to determine whether the acquired net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired
input, process, and the ability to create outputs.
F- 10
The
Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as
the fair value of the consideration transferred, including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized
amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction
costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business
combination are expensed as incurred.
Any
contingent consideration (i.e., earnout liabilities) is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration
that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration are required to be recorded at their initial
fair value at the acquisition date, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified
contingent consideration are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.
When
the initial accounting for a business combination has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction
occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed
one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained
about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that
date.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
balances are held in U.S. and European banks. Cash balances held in the U.S. are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
subject to certain limitations. The Company maintains its cash balances in highly rated financial institutions. At times, cash balances
may exceed federally insurable limits.
Restricted
Cash
The
Company is not subject to any contractual agreement that contains restrictions on the Company’s use or withdrawal of its cash or
cash equivalents.
Revenue
Recognition
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.
The Company earns revenue from the sale
of its VeeaHub® devices, licenses and subscriptions. The Company generated revenues of $ 222,018 and $ 141,760 during the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 2025 revenue for all periods presented was generated principally from paid pilots.
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.
F- 11
Revenue
from hardware sales is recognized at a point-in-time, which is generally at the point in time when products have been shipped, right
to payment has been obtained and risk of loss has been transferred. Certain of the Company’s product’s performance obligations
include proprietary operating system software, which typically is not considered separately identifiable. Therefore, sales of these products
and the related software are considered one performance obligation.
Revenue
from all sales types is recognized at the transaction price - the amount management expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring
goods or providing services. Transaction price is calculated as selling price net of variable consideration which may include estimates
for future returns, price protection, warranties, and other customer incentive programs based upon the Company’s expectation and
historical experience.
The
Company contracts with customers under non-cancellable arrangements. While customers, including resellers, may cancel master purchase
agreements under certain circumstances, customers may not cancel or modify purchase orders placed under the terms of such master purchase
agreements. Each purchase order is therefore a contract with the customer, i.e., the purchase of a quantity of any given, single product;
further, purchase orders do not commit the customer to purchase any further volumes over time. Contract modifications do not carry revenue
recognition implications as revenue is not recognized until control over products, or intellectual property, as applicable, has transferred
to the customer.
The
Company has service arrangements where net sales are recognized over time. These arrangements include a variety of post-contract support
service offerings, which are generally recognized over time as the services are provided, including maintenance and support services,
and professional services to help customers maximize their utilization of deployed systems.
A
contract liability for deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received or is unconditionally due from a customer prior to
transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue balances typically result from
advance payments received from customers for product contracts or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on services arrangements.
Deferred revenue balances were not significant as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Warranties
The
Company accrues the estimated cost of product warranties at the time of recognizing revenue. The Company’s standard product warranty
terms generally include post-sales support and repairs or replacement of a product at no additional charge for a specified period of
time. The Company actively monitors and evaluates the quality of its component suppliers. The estimated warranty obligation is based
on contractual warranty terms, repair costs, and the Company’s baseline experience. The Company’s standard warranty terms
are twelve months. Warranty expense was not significant for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
F- 12
Accounts
Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recognized
and carried at billed amounts less an allowance for credit losses. The Company maintains the allowance for estimated losses resulting
from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime
expected credit losses over the remaining duration of existing accounts receivable considering current market conditions and supportable
forecasts when appropriate. The estimate is a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness,
historical levels of credit losses, and future expectations. The allowance for credit losses were not significant as of December 31,
2025 and 2024.
Inventory
The Company values inventory at the
lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis.
At each reporting period, the Company assesses the value of its inventory and writes down the cost of inventory to its net realizable
value, if required, for estimated excess or obsolescence. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in future demand forecasts,
market conditions, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical
deterioration, and quality issues. The write down for excess or obsolescence is charged to the provision for inventory, in the Company’s
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). At the point of the loss recognition, a new, lower cost basis
for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in
that newly established cost basis. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $ 551,492 as a provision for inventory.
There was no change in the provision for inventory recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025.
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.
Shipping
and Handling
The
Company considers shipping and handling to customers to represent activities performed in fulfilling the contract with the customer.
When shipping is charged to the customer, the Company nets such charges against actual shipping costs incurred.
Tax
Collected from Customers
Taxes
imposed by governmental authorities on the Company’s revenue producing activities, such as sales taxes, are excluded from net sales.
Research
and Development
Research
and development (“R&D”) costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred. R&D costs
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
Sales
and marketing costs consist of compensation and other employee related costs for personnel engaged in selling and marketing, and sales
support functions. Selling expenses also include marketing, and the costs associated with customer evaluations. The Company does not
incur advertising costs.
F- 13
General
and Administrative Expense
General
and administrative expense consists of compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense), executive management, finance,
legal, tax, and human resources. General and administrative expense also include transaction costs, expenses associated with facilities,
information technology, external professional services, legal costs and settlement of legal claims, unrealized foreign currency transaction
gain/loss and other administrative expenses.
Property
and Equipment, net
Property
and equipment, net is stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis of five to seven years for furniture and fixtures and five
years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or remaining
lease term. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations in the periods incurred. Upon retirement or sale, costs and related
accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the balance sheets and the resulting gain or loss is included in operating
expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of the aggregate purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for
impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill
may be impaired. In conducting its annual impairment test, the Company first reviews qualitative factors to determine whether it is more
likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that the fair value of
the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative assessment, and the fair value of the reporting
unit is determined by analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit continues
to exceed its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is calculated and an impairment loss equal to the excess
is recorded. The Company’s goodwill was recorded in connection with an acquisition consummated in June 2018. For each of the years
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no events or indicators that goodwill was impaired.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets with finite lives consist primarily of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, and intangible assets which
are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future
net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash
flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ ASC
718”). The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values on the
date of the grant, recognized over the requisite service period. For awards that vest solely based on a service condition, the Company
recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures
in the period in which they occur.
Income
Taxes
The Company is required to file tax
returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and local municipalities. The Companies non-US subsidiaries are required
to files tax returns in the jurisdictions of their organization.
F- 14
Significant judgment is required in determining
the Company’s uncertain tax positions. It is not expected that there will be a significant change in uncertain tax positions for
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Foreign
Operations and Foreign Currency Translation
The
currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are conducted is the United
States dollar (“USD”). Accordingly, the Company and all of its U.S. subsidiaries use USD as their functional currency. The
results of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries, whose functional currency are the local currencies of the economic environment
in which they operate, are translated into USD in accordance with GAAP.
Assets and liabilities are translated at
year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from
translation are presented in equity as accumulated other comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate
fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as
incurred. Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss, mainly related to intercompany transactions, is included in the consolidated statements
of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, transactions (gains) losses were ($ 1,547,673 ) and $ 1,231,954 , respectively.
Comprehensive
Loss
Comprehensive
loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income (loss), net. Other comprehensive income (loss), net is defined
as revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of stockholders’ deficit but are excluded from
net loss. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments that result from
the consolidation of its foreign subsidiaries and is reported net of tax effects.
Investments
The Company holds non-marketable equity
and other investments (“privately held investments”) which are included in noncurrent assets in the Company’s consolidated
balance sheet. The Company monitors these investments for impairments and makes adjustments in carrying values if management determines
that an impairment charge is required based primarily on the financial condition and near-term prospects of these investments. During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company determined that its investments were fully impaired. As such, an impairment loss of $ 235,877
which is recorded within Other expense in our consolidated statements of operations .
Concentration
of Risks
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents,
and accounts receivable. Cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit of $ 250,000 .
The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
F- 15
Earnings
per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated
by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the year. Diluted net loss per share is based upon the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted
net loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common share equivalents, including stock options, convertible notes, and
warrants, to the extent they are dilutive. See Note 15 - Earnings Per Share .
Convertible
Note Payable
When
the Company issues convertible debt, it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety
to determine (1) whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and
(2) whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible
debt instrument would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature,
were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of a “derivative” in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. When a conversion
feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative
liability carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the consolidated
statements of operations. See Note 7- Debt.
Warrants
The
Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s
specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment
considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant
to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants
are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement”
in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires
the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while
the warrants are outstanding.
For
issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component
of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification,
the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at their fair value on each balance
sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the Company’s
consolidated statements of operations.
The
Company accounts for the Public and Private warrants in accordance with guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that
because the public warrants meet the criteria for equity treatment. Such guidance provides that because the Private warrants do not meet
the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability See Note 11- Warrants.
Accounting
Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued
ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific
categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU
requires additional disclosures on income tax expense and taxes paid, net of refunds received, by jurisdiction. The new standard is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption
is permitted. The adoption of this guidance results in the Company being required to include enhanced income tax-related disclosures.
The Company adopted this guidance prospectively effective January 1, 2025; however, as there is a full valuation allowance on its deferred
tax assets, there is no material impact on these consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued
ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures . This ASU includes amendments
that expand the existing reportable segment disclosure requirements and requires disclosure of (i) significant expense categories and
amounts by reportable segment as well as the segment’s profit or loss measure(s) that are regularly provided to the chief operating
decision maker (the “CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance; (ii) how the CODM uses each reported segment profit
or loss measure to allocate resources and assess performance; (iii) the nature of other segment balances contributing to reported segment
profit or loss that are not captured within segment revenues or expenses; and (iv) the title and position of the individual or name of
the group or committee identified as the CODM. This guidance requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the
financial statements and 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. The adoption of this guidance results in the Company being required to include
enhanced disclosures relating to its reportable segments. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2024, and it did not
have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40). In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense
Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The amendments
in this ASU require a public business entity to disclose specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to its financial
statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The objective of the disclosure requirements is to provide disaggregated information
about a public business entity’s expenses to help investors (a) better understand the entity’s performance, (b) better assess
the entity’s prospects for future cash flows, and (c) compare an entity’s performance over time and with that of other entities.
The additional disclosures under this update include (1) disclosing the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation,
intangible asset amortization, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A)
(or other amounts of depletion expense) that are included in each relevant expense caption, (2) include certain amounts that are already
required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation
requirements, (3) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated
quantitatively, and (4) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition
of selling expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this
ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

- ACQUISITION
On
May 13, 2025, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Crowdkeep, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”),
pursuant to which the Company acquired certain assets of the Seller relating to the Seller’s IoT technology platform business,
free and clear of any liens other than certain specified liabilities of the Seller that were assumed. In consideration for the acquisition,
the Company issued 4,065,689 shares of its Common Stock (the “Purchase Price”).
The
transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, as the Company determined that substantially all of the fair value was concentrated
in a single identifiable intangible asset, proprietary technology, and therefore applied a model consistent with asset acquisition accounting.
The total purchase consideration of $ 6,957,456 was comprised of equity consideration of $ 6,830,358 based on the number of shares
issued at the closing share price, and direct acquisition-related costs for legal and advisory fees of $ 127,098 , the total of which was
allocated to the acquired assets on a relative fair value basis. Because this was not a business combination, no goodwill was recognized.
The
transaction was considered a related party transaction due to the involvement of a Company board member who was also the CEO and a shareholder
of Crowdkeep. The Company established a special committee of the Board comprised of independent members of the Board, that evaluated
and approved the transaction, concluding that the terms were commercially reasonable and negotiated at arm’s length.
The
patented technology, which is recorded as part of intangible assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, will be amortized
over its estimated useful life of 10 years .

- REVERSE RECAPITALIZATION
As discussed in Note 1, “Organization and
Business Operations”, the Business Combination was consummated on September 13, 2024, which, for accounting purposes, was treated
as the equivalent of Private Veea issuing stock for the net assets of Plum, accompanied by an equity recapitalization of Private Veea.
Under this method of accounting, Plum was treated as the acquired company for financial accounting and reporting purposes under GAAP.
This determination was primarily based on the assumption that:
● Private
Veea’s current shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of New Plum (“New Plum”) post Business Combination
● effective
upon the Business Combination, the post-combination Board will consist of seven (7) directors, including five (5) directors designated
by Private Veea, one (1) director designated by Plum and one (1) director mutually agreed upon by Plum and Private Veea;
● Private
Veea’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of New Plum; and
● Private
Veea’s senior management will comprise the senior management of New Plum.
Another determining factor was that Plum does
not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to ASC 805-10-55, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and
thus, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, within the scope of ASC 805.
The net assets of Plum will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Any excess of the fair
value of shares issued to Plum over the fair value of Plum’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service
of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred.
Transaction Proceeds
Upon Closing of the Business Combination, the Company received net
proceeds of $ 1.1 million from the Business Combination, offset by total transaction costs of $ 5.3 million. T he following
table reconciles the elements of the Business Combination to the consolidated statements of cash flows and the consolidated statement

the Company.
Earn-out Share Liability
Following the Closing of the Business Combination, holders of certain
capital stock of Private Veea immediately prior to the closing will have the contingent right to receive up to 4.5 million additional
shares of the Company’s common stock if certain trading-price based milestones of the Company’s common stock are achieved
or a change of control transaction occurs during the ten-year period following the Closing.
Under accounting principles, the Company’s
obligation to issue the earnout shares is recorded as a contingent liability (the “Earn-out Share Liability”) in the Company’s
financial statements and the initial value of the Earn-out Share Lability is recorded as a transaction cost within operating expense in
the Company’s financial statements. For each subsequent reporting period, changes in the fair value of the Earn-out Share Liability
will be reported in the Company’s financial statements.

Intangible
assets primarily consist of proprietary technology, patents, patent applications, and in-process research and development (“IPR&D”)
and other identifiable intangible assets. Intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods of benefit.
The Company’s patents have estimated remaining economic useful lives ranging from 5 - 15 years and the proprietary technology
acquired from Crowdkeep Inc. has an estimated remaining useful life of 10 years . Management reviews intangible assets for impairment
when events and circumstances warrant. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no events that necessitated
additional impairment of intangible assets.
Intangible
asset amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled $ 502,630 and $ 62,000 , respectively.
Future

Revolving
Loan Facility
In
June 2021, Private Veea entered into a revolving loan agreement (the “2021 Revolving Loan Agreement”) with First Republic
Bank, which was subsequently acquired by JPMorgan Chase, (the “Bank”) providing up to $ 14.0 million of advances (collectively,
the “Loan”). The Loan accrues interest at a variable rate based on an index rate established by reference to the average 12 -month
trailing one-year US treasuries plus a spread of 1.80 % per annum and a minimum floor rate of 1.5 % per annum. Interest is payable
monthly in cash. Private Veea was not required to provide collateral for the advances or comply with any covenants. The advances were
secured by a lien on certain personal assets of the CEO. In consideration for the security provided by the CEO, Private Veea issued common
stock warrants (the “Related Party Common Stock Warrants”) to NLabs, a principal shareholder of the Company and affiliate
of Allen Salmasi (“NLabs”), in consideration for the CEO’s guaranteeing the advances. See Note 12 for further information.
Following the acquisition of First Republic, the Loan was transferred to the Bank. There were $ 1.3 million of borrowings during
the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan was $ 14.0 million, and there
is no availability to borrow additional funds. On January 5, 2026, the Company repaid the principal and interest and terminated the 2021
Revolving Loan Agreement. On January 5, 2026, the Company repaid the Loan in full by making a cash payment to the Bank of $ 14,076,218 ,
representing the total outstanding principal and interest due as of such date. The Loan was repaid with the proceeds of a loan from NLabs.
See Note 12 for further information regarding the NLabs loan.
F- 21
Convertible
Notes Payable
Business
Combination Convertible Notes Payable
Simultaneously with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company
and Private Veea issued convertible notes under note purchase agreements with certain accredited investors unaffiliated with the Company
and Private Veea (each, an “Investor”) for the sale of unsecured subordinated convertible promissory notes (the “September
2024 Notes”) as part of a private placement offering of up to $ 15.0 million in purchase price for such September 2024 Notes
in the aggregate (the “Financing Closing”). The Company received $ 1.45 million in proceeds from the issuance of its convertible
promissory notes. In addition to a September 2024 Note, each Investor received, as a transfer from NLabs Inc., an affiliated of Allen
Salmasi, our Chief Executive Officer (“NLabs”), immediately prior to the Financing Closing, a number of shares of Private
Veea’s Series A Preferred Stock that upon the Closing became a number of registered shares of Common Stock equal to such Investors’
original principal note loan amount under their respective notes divided by $ 7.50 (the “Transferred Shares”). 2.0 million
Transfer Shares were delivered to Investors at the Financing Closing. The September 2024 Notes include customary registration rights.
The
Transferred Shares were recorded at a fair value of $ 21.6 million on the Company’s consolidated financial statements at issuance,
which reflected a significant discount to the face amount of the September 2024 Notes. In addition to the cash received at the Financing
Closing, one of the Investors committed to purchase approximately $ 13.6 million (the “Commitment Amount”) of September
2024 Notes, on or prior to November 15, 2024, which date was subsequently extended to December 15, 2024. On December 31, 2024, the Company
and one of the Investors entered into a mutual Settlement and Release Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to terminate the
Investor’s obligation to purchase a note in the Commitment Amount and provided for a mutual release of claims, in exchange for
a payment to the Company of an aggregate amount of approximately $ 5.4 million, which amount includes payments previously made to
the Company in respect of the Commitment Amount. As the Company received approximately $ 1.5 million of the total expected $ 15.0 million
proceeds at the Financing Closing, a proportional amount (approximately $ 19.5 million) of the substantial discount was deferred
and recorded as a deferred financing asset on the Company’s financial statements. At December 31, 2024, the deferred financing
assets were reversed on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The
Company and VeeaSystems are co-borrowers under each September 2024 Note (together, the “Borrowers”) and are jointly responsible
for the obligations to each Investor thereunder. Each September 2024 Note has a maturity date of 18 months after the Financing
Closing but is prepayable in whole or in part by the Borrowers at any time without penalty. The outstanding obligations under each September
2024 Note accrues interest at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 2 % per annum, adjusted quarterly, but interest
is only payable upon the maturity date of the September 2024 Note as long as there is no event of default thereunder. Each September
2024 Note is unsecured and expressly subordinated to any senior debt of the Borrowers. The September 2024 Notes do not include any operational
or financial covenants for the Borrowers. Each September 2024 Note includes customary events of default including, without limitation,
failure to pay amounts due on the maturity date, failure to otherwise comply with the Borrowers’ covenants or for Borrower insolvency
events, in each case, with customary cure periods. Upon an event of default, the Investor may accelerate all obligations under its September
2024 Note and the Borrowers will be required to pay for the Investor’s reasonable out-of-pocket collection costs.
The
outstanding obligations under each September 2024 Note are convertible in whole or in part into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion
Shares”) at a conversion price of $ 7.50 per share (subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the
like with respect to the Common Stock after the Financing Closing) (the “Conversion Price”) at any time after the Financing
Closing at the sole election of the Investor. The outstanding obligations under each September 2024 Note will automatically convert at
the Conversion Price if (i) the Company or its subsidiaries consummate one or more additional financings for equity or equity-linked
securities for at least $ 20 million in the aggregate or makes one or more significant acquisitions valued in the aggregate (based
on the consideration provided by the Company and its subsidiaries) to be at least $ 20 million, (ii) the Investors holding a majority
of the aggregate outstanding obligations under the September 2024 Notes expressly agree to convert all obligations under the September
2024 Notes or (iii) the Common Stock trades with an average daily VWAP of at least $ 10.00 (subject to equitable adjustment for stock
splits, stock dividends and the like with respect to the Common Stock after the Financing Closing) for ten (10) consecutive
trading days. The obligations under each September 2024 Note will also automatically convert in connection with a Brokerage Transfer,
as described below.
F- 22
The Conversion Shares were initially subject
to a lock-up for a period of 6 months after the Financing Closing. The Transferred Shares were not subject to any lock-up restrictions,
but for a period of 6 months after the Closing they were separately designated by the Transfer Agent and kept as book entry shares on
the Transfer Agent’s records and were not be eligible to be held by DTC without the Investor first notifying the Company of its
intent to transfer any such Transferred Shares to a brokerage account and/or to be held by DTC or another nominee (a “Brokerage
Transfer”). If the Investor provided such notice or otherwise has any Transferred Shares subject to a Brokerage Transfer within
6 months after the Closing, a portion of the outstanding obligations under such Investor’s Note would automatically convert into
a number of Conversion Shares equal to the number of Transferred Shares subject to such Brokerage Transfer, and the lock-up period for
such Conversion Shares would be extended for an additional 6 months to 12 months after the Financing Closing. As of December 31, 2025,
$ 700,000 in aggregate principal amount of the September 2024 Notes, together with associated interest, had automatically converted
upon the occurrence of a Brokerage Transfer. The September 2024 Notes matured on March 13, 2026. The Company and the Investors are in
discussions to, among other items, extend the maturity date. Non-payment at maturity is a default under the September 24 Notes; however,
the Company has received no notices of default from any Investors, nor has any Investor commenced enforcement actions.
The
Company reviewed the conversion feature granted in the notes under ASC 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging ” (“ASC
815”), and concluded that the conversion price was based on a variable (enterprise value) that was not an input to the fair value
of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under ASC 815-40 and is therefore considered a conversion option liability that
should be bifurcated from the debt host. As the fair value of the conversion option liability exceeded the net proceeds received, in
accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company recorded the conversion option liability at fair value with the excess of the fair value over
the net proceeds received recognized as a loss in earnings. See Note 14 for further information.
Convertible
Notes Payable Issued in connection with Crowdkeep Acquisition
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.

- INVESTMENTS
The
Company accounts for its private company investments without readily determinable fair values under the cost method. These investments,
for which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over any one individual investee, is measured and accounted for using
an alternative measurement basis of a) the security’s carrying value at cost, b) less any impairment and c) plus or minus any qualifying
observable price changes. Observable price changes or impairments recognized on the Company’s private company investments would
be classified as a Level 3 financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the fair value inputs. Any adjustments
to the carrying values are recognized in other income, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
income (loss). These investments, which do not have a stated contractual maturity date, were classified as Investments on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets.

- STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On
September 13, 2024, the Company consummated the Business Combination which was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. In connection
with the consummation of the Business Combination (i) the Company de-registered from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands
by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware, migrating to and domesticating as a Delaware corporation
(the “Domestication”) and (ii) restated its certificate of incorporation (“Restated Certificate of Incorporation”).
In connection with the Domestication, each share of outstanding Class A ordinary shares were converted by operation of law into shares
of Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis. Upon filing of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each issued and outstanding share
of Class B stock outstanding immediately prior to the filing of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation was converted into shares of
Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. Under the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company is authorized to issue 551,000,000 shares
of capital stock, consisting of (a) 550,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share and (b) 1,000,000 shares
of preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. On March 30, 2026, of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock available, the Company’s Board of Directors designated 212,000 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock. See Note 18 for further information regarding the Preferred Stock issuance.
Holders
of Common Stock are entitled vote on all matters submitted to the stockholders vote or approval, other than on any amendment to the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely
to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately
or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock). Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote
per share on all matters submitted to the stockholders for their vote or approval.
Equity
Line of Credit
On
December 2, 2024, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement (“Common Stock Purchase Agreement” or the “ELOC”)
and related registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with White Lion. Pursuant to the Common
Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to direct White Lion to purchase up to $ 25.0 million
in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions as described
below (the “ELOC Program”), at a purchase price equal to (i) 96.5 % of the volume weighted average stock price for the three consecutive
business days after a purchase notice is given, (ii) 98 % of the volume weighted average stock price on the day a notice
is delivered, or (iii) the lowest traded price for a given purchase date.
The
Company controls the timing and amount of any sales to White Lion, which depend on a variety of factors including, among other things,
market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock, and determinations by the Company as to appropriate sources of funding for
its business and operations. However, White Lion’s obligation to purchase shares is subject to certain conditions, including the
daily trading volume of the Company’s stock. In all instances, the Company may not sell shares of Common Stock under the Purchase
Agreement if it would result in White Lion and its affiliate beneficially owning more than 4.99 % of its outstanding voting power
or shares of the Common Stock at any one point in time, or the aggregate number of shares of common stock would not exceed 19.99 %
of the voting power of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.
F- 24
The
Company received $ 836,766 in proceeds from draws on the ELOC during the year ended December 31, 2025, and issued 358,000 shares
of Common Stock, pursuant to the ELOC Program. The Company did not draw on the ELOC during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The
Company agreed to issue to White Lion shares of Common Stock as a commitment fee (the “Commitment Shares”). The fair value
of the Commitment Shares was $ 25,000 , which pursuant to ASC 815, was recorded in transaction costs in the consolidated statement of operations
and comprehensive income (loss) during the year ended December 31, 2025. Further, the Common Stock Purchase Agreement provided for the
issuance of additional Commitment Shares to the Common Stock Purchaser if the Company failed to sell at least $ 1,000,000 in gross
proceeds to the Common Stock Purchaser by the sixth-month anniversary of signing of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company
and White Lion amended the ELOC Purchase Agreement effective of June 2, 2025 to provide for (i) an extension of the time period to December
15, 2025 and (ii) an increase the gross proceeds sold under the ELOC Purchase Agreement to $ 1,250,000 . On January 14, 2026, the Company
and White Lion further amended the ELOC Purchase Agreement (a) to provide for an extension of the commitment period for sales of shares
of common stock to White Lion from December 2, 2026 to June 30, 2027 and (b) to amend the provision relating to the issuance by the Company
of additional shares of common stock to White Lion in consideration for its commitments under the ELOC Purchase Agreement in amounts
equal to (i) $ 25,000 at the time of the ELOC Amendment No. 2, (ii) $ 50,000 , if the Company has not sold to White Lion under the ELOC
Purchase Agreement an aggregate of $ 1,250,000 in gross proceeds of common stock through April 15, 2026, (iii) $ 25,000 , if the Company
has not sold to White Lion under the ELOC Purchase Agreement an aggregate of $ 1,500,000 in gross proceeds of common stock through June
30, 2026. The number of shares of common stock issued in each instance is determined by dividing the dollar value of the shares of common
stock to be issued by the average VWAP of the common stock for the ten-day trading period immediately prior to the issuance date.
The
Common Stock Purchaser has agreed that during the term of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, neither it nor any of its affiliates will
engage in any short sales or hedging transactions involving the Common Stock.
August
2025 Public Offering
On
August 14, 2025, the Company closed a public offering (the “August 2025 Public Offering”) of 9,189,096 shares of
its common stock and warrants to purchase up to 9,189,096 shares of common stock (the “2025 Investor Warrants”)
at a combined offering price of $ 1.00 per share and accompanying warrant. The Company received aggregate cash gross proceeds of
approximately $ 6.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The 2025 Investor Warrants have an
exercise price of $ 1.10 per share, are exercisable immediately, and will expire five years from the original issuance
date. Included in the aggregate securities issued are 3,239,096 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants that were
issued to NLabs in consideration and satisfaction of a corresponding portion of the NLabs 2025 Notes and associated interest. The Company
is using the net proceeds from the Offering for investments in inventory and the Company’s customer support infrastructure and
for other working capital and general corporate purposes.

- STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
In
September 2014, the Private Veea’s Board of Directors adopted the Max2 Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”). Upon
adoption of the 2014 Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for awards under the Plan were 1,250,000 . In
September 2018, Private Veea’s Board of Directors adopted the Veea Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (“2018 Plan” and
collectively with the 2014 Plan, the “Private Veea Plans”). Upon adoption of the 2018 Plan, 4,900,000 shares of
the Common Stock were reserved for the issuance of incentive awards. In January 2021, the 2018 Plan was amended to increase the total
number of authorized shares reserved for issuance to 12,492,910 . Under the Private Veea Plans, option awards were generally granted
with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally
vested with a range of one to four years of continuous service and had ten-year contractual terms.
Certain option awards provided for accelerated vesting if there was a change in control, as defined in the Private Veea Plans. The Private
Veea Plans also permitted the granting of restricted stock and other stock-based awards. Unexercised options were cancelled upon termination
of employment and became available for reissuance under the Private Veea Plans.
On
June 4, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved the Veea Inc. 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the “2024 Incentive Plan”,
collectively with the Private Veea Plans, the “Plans”), which became effective upon the Closing. The Company initially reserved 4,460,437 shares
of Common Stock for the issuance of awards under the 2024 Incentive Plan (“Initial Limit”). The Initial Limit represented 10 %
of the aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Closing plus the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable under the 2014 Plan and the 2016 Plan and is subject to increase each year over a ten-year period. The 2024 Incentive Plan provides
for the grant of stock options, which may be ISOs or non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”),
restricted shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other stock or cash-based awards that the Administrator determines
are consistent with the purpose of the 2024 Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 2,134,776 shares available
for grant.
F- 25
On
June 4, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved Veea Inc. 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which became
effective upon the Closing. An aggregate of 1,070,603 shares of Common Stock has been reserved for issuance or transfer pursuant
to rights granted under the ESPP (“Aggregate Number”). The Aggregate Number represented 3 % of the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Closing and is subject to increase each year over a ten-year period. The ESPP
provides eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock from the Company at a discount through accumulated payroll deductions.
The ESPP will be implemented through a series of offerings of purchase rights to eligible employees. Under the ESPP, the Company’s
Board of Directors may specify offerings but generally provides for a duration of 12 months. The purchase price will be specified pursuant
to the offering, but cannot, under the terms of the ESPP, be less than 85 % of the lower of the fair market value per share of the
Common Stock on either the offering date or on the purchase date. As of December 31, 2025, there have not yet been any offering periods
available to purchase Common Stock under the ESPP.
In
connection with the Business Combination, each Private Veea option that was outstanding immediate prior to Closing, whether vested or
unvested, was exchanged for a stock option under the 2024 Plan (each an “Exchanged Option”) to acquire a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Private Veea’s common stock subject to such Private Veea option
immediately prior to the Business Combination and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to (A) the exercise price
per share of such Private Veea option immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, divided by (B) the Exchange
Ratio. Following the Business Combination, each Exchanged Option continues to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including
vesting and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding former Private Veea option immediately prior to the consummation
of the Business Combination. Unvested Private Veea options did not accelerate nor vest on the consummation of the Business Combination.
All stock option activity was retroactively restated to reflect the effect of the Exchange Ratio. Generally, stock options vest 25 %
on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and then quarterly thereafter for 12 quarters, or pursuant to another vesting
schedule as approved by the Board and set forth in the option agreement. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years from the date
of grant. The aggregate intrinsic value is the fair market value on the reporting date less the exercise price for each option. The fair
value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For options granted
during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the weighted average estimated fair value using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model was $ 0.49 and $ 1.49 per option, respectively.

On
September 29, 2025, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors approved equity awards to certain Named Executive Officers (“NEO”),
employees, and consultants in the form of options to purchase 2,375,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “September
2025 Grants”), subject to (i) with respect to September 2025 Grants to the NEOs and other officers of the Company, to the Company’s
performance and time vesting schedules and (ii) with respect to September 2025 Grant to non-NEO officer employees and consultants, time
vesting schedules. In addition, no portion of the September 2025 Grants may be exercised unless both (A) the Company’s stockholders
approve the September 2025 Grants or approval of an amendment to increase the number of shares under the 2024 Plan to a sufficient number
of shares such that the full number of shares underlying the September 2025 Grants may be delivered from the Plan’s share reserve
and (B) the Company files a Form S-8 with the SEC to register the shares subject to the September 2025 Grants, and if either (A) or (B)
is not satisfied, the September 2025 Grants may be fully unwound and cancelled.

The
fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the single-option award approach. The

- WARRANTS
Public
Warrants
As
part of Plum’s initial public offering (“IPO”), Plum issued warrants to third-party investors where each whole warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share (the “Public
Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Plum completed the private sale of warrants (the “SPAC Private Placement
Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “SPAC Warrants”) where each Private Placement Warrant allows the
holder to purchase one share of the Common Stock at $ 11.50 per share. At December 31, 2025, there were 6,384,326 Public
Warrants and 5,256,218 SPAC Private Placement Warrants outstanding.
The
Public Warrants are exercisable at per share, subject to adjustment, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating
to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified
in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws
of the state of residence of the holder. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination
or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
F- 27
The
Company filed with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of the SPAC Private Placement Warrants. Such registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on January 15, 2025.
With
the exception of the SPAC Private Placement Warrants, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the
event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will
have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the shares of Common Stock underlying such Warrant.
Redemption
of SPAC Warrants When the Price per Share of Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $ 18.00
Once
the SPAC Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants (except with respect to the SPAC Private Placement
Warrants):
●
in
whole and not in part;
● at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant;
● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
Redemption
of SPAC Warrants When the Price per Share of Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $ 10.00
Once
the SPAC Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding SPAC Warrants:
●
in
whole and not in part;
● at $ 0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” (as defined above) of our Common Stock;
● if, and only if, the closing price of our Common Stock equals or exceeds $ 10.00 per public share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
● if the closing price of our Common Stock for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant), the SPAC Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above.
The
SPAC Private Placement Warrants were initially issued in the same form as the Public Warrants with the exception that the SPAC Private
Placement Warrants: (i) would not be redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless baseless so long as
they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the SPAC Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the
Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
F- 28
The Public Warrants were initially classified as a derivative liability
instrument. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the Public Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 are
no longer precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value).
Subsequent changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity.
The
Company continues to recognize the SPAC Private Placement Warrants as liabilities at fair value as of the Closing Date, with an offsetting
entry to additional paid-in capital and adjusts the carrying value of the instruments to fair value through other income (expense) on
the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) at each reporting period until they are exercised. As of December
31, 2025, the SPAC Private Placement Warrants are presented within warrant liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Private
Veea Warrants
Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the Related Party Common
Stock Warrants were exercised in whole, on a net basis, for 3,880,000 shares of common stock of Private Veea at a conversion
price of $ 0.01 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $ 38,800 . A total of 21,798 shares of common stock were surrendered
in payment of the purchase price.
In connection with the Business Combination,
Private Veea’s outstanding equity-classified Preferred stock warrants were exchanged for common stock warrants of the Company (the
“Assumed Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock, after adjustment for anti-dilutive shares, equal to the
product of (i) the number of shares of Private Veea’s common stock subject to such Preferred Stock warrant immediately prior to
the Business Combination and (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to (A) the exercise price per share of such
Preferred Stock warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. On November
6, 2024, the warrant holder exercised warrants to purchase 79,654 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 0.05 per
share for an aggregate purchase price of $ 3,983 . The outstanding Assumed Warrants are exercisable at the option of the holder until September
28, 2028, for an exercise price of $ 10.19 per share. As of December 31, 2025, there are 159,307 Assumed Warrants outstanding.
2025
Investor Warrants
In
connection with the August 2025 Public Offering, the Company issued the warrants to purchase up to 9,189,096 shares of common
stock investors (the “2025 Investor Warrants”), including related parties. Each 2025 Investor Warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $ 1.10 . The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment
in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting
our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. No fractional
shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of the warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, the Company will
pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price. The 2025 Investor Warrants will expire five
years from their issuance date. The 2025 Investor Warrants have not been listed on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange
or other nationally recognized trading system.
Each
2025 Investor Warrant is exercisable, at the option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part, by delivering to a duly executed exercise
notice accompanied by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such
exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as described below).
A
holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the 2025 Investor Warrant to the extent that the holder would own
more than 4.99 % (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99 )% of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise, except
that upon at least 61 days ’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the amount of ownership
of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s 2025 Investor Warrants up to 9.99 % of the number of shares of our common
stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the
terms of the 2025 Investor Warrants.
F- 29
If
the holder of 2025 Investor Warrants exercises its warrants and a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common
stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available (or a prospectus is not available for the resale
of shares of common stock underlying the warrants), then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the
Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder shall instead receive upon such exercise (either in
whole or in part) only the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the common warrants. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, in the event the Company does not have or maintain an effective registration statement, there are no circumstances
that would require the Company to make any cash payments or net cash settle the common warrants to the holders.
Subject
to applicable laws, the 2025 Investor Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned at the option of the holder upon
surrender of such holder’s warrants to the Company together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.
In
the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the 2025 Investor Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization
or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition, in each case, of all or substantially all of our properties
or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50 % of our outstanding common stock,
or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50 % of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, the
holders of the common warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the common warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash
or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.
In the case of certain fundamental transactions affecting us, a holder of the 2025 Investor Warrants, upon exercise of such warrants
after such fundamental transaction, will have the right to receive, in lieu of shares of our common stock, the same amount and kind of
securities, cash or property that such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the fundamental transaction,
had the warrants been exercised immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.
The
Company recognized the 2025 Investor Warrants as liability-classified at fair value as of the closing date, with an offsetting entry
to additional paid-in capital and adjusts the carrying value to fair value through other income (expense) on the consolidated statement
of operations and comprehensive loss at each reporting period until they are exercised. As of December 31, 2025, the 2025 Investor Warrants
are presented within warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheet.

Indemnifications
In
the normal course of business, the Company has indemnification obligations to other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties
to other transactions with us, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to indemnify against losses arising from a breach
of representations or covenants or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements
may limit the time or circumstances within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim.
It
is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount for claims made under the indemnification obligations due to uncertainties
in the litigation process, coordination with and contributions by other parties and the defendants in these types of cases, and the unique
facts and circumstances involved in each particular case and agreement. To date, the Company has made no indemnity payments. In addition,
the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and its Amended and Restated Bylaws contain
similar indemnification obligations to its agents.
Litigation
In
the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings. The Company accrues contingent
liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made, and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate
results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect them to have a material adverse effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Other
Commitments
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company agreed to
pay certain legal expenses contingent upon the Closing of the Business Combination, certain of which expenses were mutually agreed to
be deferred to periods after the Closing. As of December 31, 2025, the amount of the deferred fees totaled $ 2,257,457 , recorded in deferred
payables, current in the consolidated balance sheet.

Warrant
Liabilities
The
Company’s initial value of the SPAC Private Placement Warrant liability as of September 13, 2024, was based on a valuation model
utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency
than active markets and was classified as level 3. The subsequent measurement of the SPAC Private Placement Warrants is classified as
Level 2 because these warrants are economically equivalent to the Public Warrants, based on the terms of the SPAC Private Placement Warrant
agreement, and as such their value is principally derived by the value of the Public Warrants. Significant deviations from these estimates
and inputs could result in a material change in fair value.

2025
Investor Warrants
The
Company established the initial fair value of the 2025 Investor Warrants liability as of August 14, 2025, the date of the August 2025
Public Offering. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value was remeasured using an option pricing model. The option pricing model was used
to value the liability for the initial period and subsequent measurement periods.
The
2025 Investor Warrant liability was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs. The
key inputs into the option pricing model were as follows at August 14, 2025 initial value, and at December 31, 2025:

Earn-out
Share Liability
Following the Closing of the Business Combination, holders of certain
capital stock of Private Veea immediately prior to the closing have the contingent right to receive up to 4.5 million additional
shares of Common Stock if certain trading-price based milestones of the Common Stock are achieved or a change of control transaction occurs
during the ten-year period following the Closing. The Company’s obligation to issue the earn out shares is recorded as a contingent
liability (the “Earn-out Share Liability”) in the Company’s financial statements. The initial value of the contingent
Earn-out Share Liability of $ 53.6 million was recorded as a transaction cost within operating expenses. The fair value of the Earn-out
Share Liability was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation utilizing assumptions related to the contractual term of the instruments,
estimated volatility, the price of the Common Stock, and current interest rates. The key inputs for the Earn-out Share Liability were

In assessing the realizability of deferred
tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which
those temporary differences become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to realize the benefit of the deferred
tax assets, the net deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance at December 31, 2025 and 2024. The valuation allowance
at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $ 49,908,948 and $ 47,011,175 , respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had gross federal net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $ 127,674,536 , resulting in a tax effected benefit of $ 26,811,652 , which will be carried forward indefinitely.
In addition, the Company has gross state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 72,151,836 with an expected net tax impact
$ 4,941,156 . The state NOLs have varying expiration dates as determined by each state.
The Company also has net operating losses in the United Kingdom that
can be carried forward indefinitely and utilized to offset future taxable income. The gross value of these NOLs is $ 26,696,144 with an
anticipated future tax benefit of $ 6,674,036 .
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has federal R&D credit carryforwards
of $4,542,749 that will begin to expire in 2038. The Company has also reduced the anticipated future benefit of these credits by recording
an uncertain tax benefit equal to 30 % of the credit claimed.
IRC
Section 382 imposes limitations on the use of net operating loss carryovers when the stock ownership of one or more 5% shareholders (shareholders
owning 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding capital stock) has increased on a cumulative basis by more than 50 percentage points.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not completed an analysis on the 382 limitation. A 382 limitation calculation will be considered
prior to the usage of tax attributes.
The
Company’s effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities, or
by changes in tax laws, regulations, and accounting principles.
The
Company has evaluated both positive and negative evidences and determined that all of its worldwide deferred tax assets will not be realized
for the foreseeable future. As a result, the valuation allowance is recorded against all existing deferred tax assets. The current business
operations and resulting need for a valuation analysis will be considered annually.

- EMPLOYEE 401(k) PLAN
The
Company sponsors a 401(k) plan (the “Plan”) to provide retirement benefits for its employees.
As allowed under Section 401(k) of
the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan provides for tax-deferred salary contributions and after-tax contributions for eligible employees.
The Plan provides for tax-deferred salary contributions and after-tax contributions for eligible employees. Employee contributions are
limited to a maximum annual amount as set periodically by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company matches pretax and Roth employee contributions
up to 4 % of eligible earnings that are contributed by employees. All matching contributions vest immediately. The Company’s
matching contributions to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled approximately $ 109,714 and $ $ 161,067 , respectively.
A total of approximately $ 270,781 is reflected in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet for matching contributions
accrued but not yet paid.

- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company evaluated subsequent events from December 31, 2025, the date of these consolidated financial statements, through the date on
which the financial statements were issued (the “Issuance Date”), for events requiring recording or disclosure in the financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company concluded that no events have occurred that would require recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements, except as described below:
F- 37
On
January 14, 2026, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with White Lion providing for the issuance of unsecured convertible
promissory notes and warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $ 2.5 million. At the initial closing, the Company issued a convertible
note with a face amount of approximately $ 0.6 million and received net proceeds of approximately $ 0.5 million, net of original issuance
discount and certain transaction expenses. The notes mature in 12 months, bear interest at 5 % per annum, and are convertible into shares
of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the lesser of $ 0.75 and 90 % of the lowest VWAP (calculated as set forth in the
Convertible Notes) for the prior consecutive ten ( 10 ) trading-day period, in each case subject to certain equitable adjustments. In connection
with the financing, the Company issued warrants to purchase approximately 990,099 shares of common stock at an exercise price of approximately
$ 0.51 per share, with a five-year term, subject to customary ownership limitations.
On February 17, 2026, VeeaSystems, entered into a Loan Agreement with
Pasadena Private Lending, Inc. providing for a secured term loan facility of up to $ 10.6 million, of which $ 5.5 million (the “Initial
Loan Amount”) was funded at closing. The Initial Loan Amount matures in February 2031 and bears interest at a variable rate equal
to the prime rate (subject to a floor of 5.75% ) plus 4.50 % per annum. Interest is payable monthly in arrears and principal is payable
in monthly installments of $ 58,000 commencing March 17, 2027, with any remaining outstanding principal and interest due at maturity. The
Company may, at any time prior to February 17, 2027, request to increase the Initial Loan Amount by up to $ 5.0 million in separate tranches
of up to $ 2.5 million each. The facility is guaranteed by the Company and the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and
is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Further, until such time as the Company achieves a Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan agreement) of at least 3.0 to 1.0, tested as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter end,
the Company is required to maintain a minimum aggregate balance equal to the greater of (i) $ 550,000 and (ii) 10 % of the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of the loans, in cash, liquid securities, and marketable securities, in a reserve account. The agreement contains
customary financial covenants and minimum liquidity requirements.
In response to the Nasdaq deficiency notices
received by the Company on September 29, 2025, on March 27, 2026, the Company submitted an application to transfer the listing of its
listed securities from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market. In connection with the submission to transfer the Company’s
listing, the Company requested a second period of 180 calendar days, or until September 30, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement for continued listing.
On April 7, 2026, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications
department approved the Company’s request to transfer the listing of the Company’s publicly traded securities from The Nasdaq
Global Select Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The transfer will take effect at the opening of business on April 9, 2026. The transfer
of the Company’s listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market is not expected to have any immediate effect on trading in shares of common
stock and public warrants. The common stock and public warrants continue to trade uninterruptedly under the symbol “VEEA”
and “VEEAW”, respectively. The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as The Nasdaq Global Market,
and companies on The Nasdaq Capital Market must meet certain financial and corporate governance requirements to qualify for continued
listing.
As a result of the transfer to The Nasdaq
Capital Market, Nasdaq granted the Company a second period of 180 calendar days, or until September 28, 2026, to regain compliance with
the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s shares must
meet or exceed $ 1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days on or prior to September 28, 2026. Nasdaq’s determination
to grant the additional 180-day compliance period was in part based on, among other things, the Company meeting the continued listing
requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company having provided written notice
of its intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary.
Following Nasdaq’s approval of the extended compliance period, the Company intends to continue to actively monitor the minimum bid
price requirement and, as appropriate, will consider available options to resolve any deficiencies and regain compliance, including by
effecting a reverse stock split if necessary.
In connection with the Company’s
application to transfer its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market, to ensure the Company’s compliance with the listing requirements
of The Nasdaq Capital Market, on March 30, 2026, the Company entered into separate conversion agreements with each of NLabs and 83 rd
