Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a) Parent Merger Sub merged with and into Bannix, with Bannix continuing as the surviving entity (the “Parent Merger”), as a result of which, (i) Bannix became a wholly owned subsidiary of VW Holdings, and (ii) each issued and outstanding share of Bannix immediately prior to the effective time of the Parent Merger (the “Parent Merger Effective Time”) (other than shares of Bannix Common Stock that have been redeemed or are owned by Bannix or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as treasury shares and any Dissenting Parent Shares) was automatically cancelled in exchange for one share of common stock, par value $0.001 of VW Holdings, each Bannix Warrant automatically converted into one warrant to purchase shares of VW Holdings Common Stock on substantially the same terms and conditions and each Bannix Right automatically converted into the number of shares of VW Tech Common Stock that would have been received by the holder of such Bannix Right if it had been converted upon the consummation of a Business Combination in accordance with Bannix’s organizational document and, (b) immediately following the consummation of the Parent Merger but on the same day, Company Merger Sub merged with and into Target, with Target continuing as the surviving entity (the “Company Merger” and, together with the Parent Merger, the “Mergers”), as a result of which, (i) Target became a wholly owned subsidiary of VW Holdings, and (ii) each issued and outstanding security of Target immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time”) (other than any cancelled Shares or dissenting shares) were no longer be outstanding and were automatically cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VW Holdings. The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Reverse Acquisition.” The Merger Agreement contained representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type, including, among others, covenants providing for (i) certain limitations on the operation of the parties’ respective businesses prior to consummation of the Business Combination, (ii) the parties’ efforts to satisfy conditions to consummation of the Business Combination, including by obtaining any necessary approvals from governmental agencies, (iii) prohibitions on the parties soliciting alternative transactions, (iv) VW Holdings preparing and filing a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and taking certain other actions to obtain the requisite approval of Bannix’s stockholders to vote in favor of certain matters, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Business Combination, at a special meeting to be called for the approval of such matters, and (v) the protection of, and access to, confidential information of the parties. On May 5, 2025, the SEC declared the Company’s registration statement on Form S-4 to be effective. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Bannix, who is the legal acquirer, was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and VisionWave Technologies Inc. was treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which VisionWave technologies Inc. is issuing stock for the net assets of Bannix. The net assets of Bannix will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization will be those of VisionWave Technologies, Inc. On July 14, 2025, the Company closed on its proposed Business Combination and liquidated its Trust Account. In association with the liquidation of the Trust Account, stockholders redeeming their shares of common stock at the May 2025 Special Meeting were paid for their redeeming shares. 28 As a result of the Business Combination, all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Bannix (“Bannix Common Stock”) were cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a pro-rata portion of 2,540,324 shares of common stock of VW Tech (“VW Tech Common Stock”). Each issued and outstanding security of Bannix immediately prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VW Tech. The 6,900,000 Public Warrants issued at the time of Bannix’s initial public offering, and 406,000 warrants issued in connection with private placement at the time of Bannix’s initial public offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”) remained outstanding and became warrants for the Company. Securities Purchase Agreement On July 15, 2025, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “July 2025 SPAs”) with two unaffiliated accredited investors (“July 2025 Lenders”), pursuant to which the Company issued promissory notes (the “July 2025 Notes”) to the July 2025 Lenders in the aggregate principal amount of $354,200, which includes an aggregate original issue discount of $46,200, for a purchase price of $308,000. The Company incurred an additional $8,000 in fees related to this transaction which is capitalized as part of the debt issuance cost and amortized over the term of the July 2025 Notes. The July 2025 Notes bear interest at a one-time charge of 12% applied on the issuance date, mature on May 15, 2026, and is repayable in five monthly payments commencing January 15, 2026. The July 2025 Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), solely upon an event of default, at a conversion price equal to 75% of the lowest trading price during the ten trading days prior to conversion. The Company also entered into an irrevocable transfer agent instructions letter with its transfer agent in connection with the July 2025 Notes. The proceeds from the issuances of the July 2025 Notes will be used for general working capital purposes. The July 2025 Lenders have piggyback registration rights and have agreed not to engage in short sales of the Company’s common stock during the term of the July 2025 Notes. The July 2025 Notes include customary representations, warranties, covenants, and default provisions. The Company may prepay the July 2025 Notes within the first 180 days. The loan pursuant to the July 2025 Notes closed and funded on July 17, 2025. Standby Equity Purchase Agreement and Pre Paid Advance On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to the Investor’s purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Advance”) by delivering written notice to Investor (“Advance Notice”). While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice. The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily VWAP of the shares of common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to Investor. “VWAP” is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P. 29 In connection with the SEPA, and subject to the condition set forth therein, Investor advanced to the Company in the form of convertible promissory notes (the “Convertible Notes”) an aggregate principal amount of $5.0 million (the “Pre-Paid Advance”). The first Pre-Paid Advance was disbursed on July 25, 2025 with respect to $3.0 million and the balance of $2.0 million was disbursed on September 11, 2025 upon the registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA being declared effective. The purchase price for the Pre-Paid Advance is 94% of the principal amount of the Pre-Paid Advance. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of any Pre-Paid Advance at an annual rate equal to 6.0%, subject to an increase to 18% upon an event of default as described in the Convertible Notes. The maturity date is 12-months after the closing of each tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance. The Investor may convert the Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $10.00 or 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion (the “Conversion Price”), which in no event may the Conversion Price be lower than $1.00 (the “Floor Price”). In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Convertible Notes shall become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the Investor the principal and interest due thereunder. In no event shall Investor be allowed to effect a conversion if such conversion, along with all other shares of common stock beneficially owned by Investor and its affiliates would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company. If any time on or after the issuance of the Convertible Notes (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (“Floor Price Trigger”), or (ii) the Company has issued in excess of 99% of the shares of common stock available under the Exchange Cap, where applicable ( “Exchange Cap Trigger” and collectively with the Floor Price Trigger, the “Trigger”), then the Company shall make monthly payments to Investor beginning on the seventh trading day after the Trigger and continuing monthly in the amount of $750,000 plus an 5.0% premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The Exchange Cap Trigger will not apply in the event the Company has obtained the approval from its stockholders in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq Stock Market for the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and the SEPA in excess of 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective date of the SEPA (the “Exchange Cap”). The Investor, in its sole discretion and providing that there is a balance remaining outstanding under the Convertible Notes, may deliver a notice under the SEPA requiring the issuance and sale of shares of common stock to the Investor at the Conversion Price in consideration of an offset of the Convertible Notes (“Investor Advance”). The Investor, in its sole discretion, may select the amount of any Pre-Paid Advance, provided that the number of shares issued does not cause the Investor to exceed the 4.99% ownership limitation, does not exceed the Exchange Cap or the number of shares of common stock that are registered. As a result of a Pre-Paid Advance, the amounts payable under the Convertible Notes will be offset by such amount subject to each Investor Advance. The Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares of common stock to the Investor, except with respect to the Pre-Paid Advances. Actual sales of shares of common stock to the Investor as a Pre-Paid Advance under the SEPA will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, which may include, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for our business and operations. The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to $50,000,000. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all amounts owed to the Investor pursuant to the Convertible Notes. The Company and the Investor may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent. Neither the Company nor the Investor may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived by us or Investor other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties. As consideration for the Investor’s commitment to purchase the shares of common stock pursuant the SEPA, the Company paid the Investor, (i) a structuring fee in the amount of $30,000 and (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock as an equity fee. Further, the Company is required to pay Investor a commitment fee of $500,000 of which $250,000 shall be due and payable on the earlier of the effective date of the initial registration statement, or 60 days following the date hereof and the remaining $250,000 shall be due and payable on the date that is 90 days following the initial due date to be paid by the issuance of such number of common shares that is equal to the applicable portion of the commitment fee divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the common shares during the three trading days immediately prior to the applicable due date. 30 The SEPA contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. The net proceeds under the SEPA to the Company will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells its shares of common stock to Investor. The Company expects that any proceeds received from such sales to Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. On September 11, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the “Investor”), pursuant to the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2025 (as may be amended, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “SEPA”), between the Company and the Investor. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Investor advanced the second tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance in a principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Second Pre-Paid Advance”) on September 11, 2025, in connection with the issuance by the Company of a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “Second Note”). The Investor waived the condition precedent set forth in the SEPA relating to the effectiveness of a registration statement for the Second Pre-Paid Advance. The purchase price for the Second Note is $1,880,000 (94% of the principal amount, reflecting a 6% discount). The Second Note has a maturity date of September 11, 2026 (as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate of 6%, which increases to 18% upon the occurrence of an event of default (for so long as such event remains uncured). Interest is calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. The Second Note is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at the lower of (i) $10.00 per share (the “Fixed Price”) or (ii) 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (the “Variable Price”), but not lower than the floor price of $1.00 per share (adjustable downwards to 20% of the average VWAP for the five trading days prior to the earlier of the Registration Statement effectiveness or the six-month anniversary of the SEPA date, or further reduced by the Company). The Fixed Price resets downwards on the 30-day anniversary of a merger transaction to the average VWAP for the five trading days prior. Conversions are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation and the Exchange Cap (19.99% of outstanding shares without stockholder approval). The Second Note includes customary events of default, representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions. Upon an event of default, the Investor may accelerate the note or convert at the conversion price. The Company may not engage in variable rate transactions while the Second Note is outstanding, subject to exceptions. Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan On August 5, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 7,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).

The Company, in an effort to replace its current financing structure, intends to structure the transaction and use the non-staked portion as funding for its defense business and potentially leverage the stakeable portion for M&A activity in the defense arena, though these intentions are forward-looking and subject to uncertainties that could prevent or alter their realization. The CTMG Agreement includes standard provisions regarding confidentiality, non-circumvention, independent contractor status, compliance with laws (including securities, AML/KYC, and tax regulations), warranties, indemnification, limitation of liability, and governing law (Delaware). The proposed adoption of a crypto reserve strategy, including the establishment of a digital asset treasury as contemplated in the Agreement will only be implemented upon obtaining regulatory approval, if any, from relevant authorities, including compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. Additionally, the implementation of the crypto reserve strategy may require shareholder approval to the extent such approval is deemed necessary by the Company’s board of directors or required by regulatory bodies. The Company will ensure all necessary approvals are obtained prior to the execution of the crypto reserve strategy and will provide further updates as required by law. The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. Key Financial Definitions/Components of Results Operating Expenses We classify our operating expenses into the following categories: 34 ● General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for our executives, consultants and advisors. These expenses also include non-personnel costs, such as office supplies, legal, audit and accounting services and other professional fees. ● Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses include internal personnel and third-party consulting costs related to preliminary research and development of the Company’s products. ● Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of business development professional fees, advertising and marketing costs. Critical Accounting Estimates Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions can be subjective and complex and may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues, and expenses reported in those financial statements. As a result, actual results could differ from such estimates and assumptions. Such changes to estimates could potentially result in impacts that would be material to the consolidated financial statements. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements appearing in Item 1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we believe that the following accounting policies were most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and under the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VisonWave Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Significant estimates include assumptions made in the valuation of the options, valuation of convertible notes and recoverability of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. 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. 35 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 is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that does not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration is required to be recorded at its 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. Net Loss Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding at the end of the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock to the extent dilutive. For the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, the Company’s diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is equal to basic weighted-average shares, due to the Company’s net loss position. No common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss per unit since such inclusion would have been antidilutive. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, potentially dilutive securities include the public warrants and the convertible promissory notes. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures. On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), requiring additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the statements of operations. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statements of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Results of Operations The following tables set forth the results of our operations for the periods presented, as well as the changes between periods. The period-to-period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of future results. The year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The following table sets forth the Company’s consolidated statements of operations data for the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024: 36 For the Year ended September 30 For the Period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30 2025 2024 Change Operating costs: General and administrative $ 5,416,619 $ 328,469 $ 5,088,150 Research and development 156,462 3,650 152,812 Sales and marketing 1,168,108 0 1,168,108 Loss from operations (6,741,189 ) (332,119 ) (6,409,070 ) Other (expense) income: Interest income 418 — 418 Interest expense (59,327 ) — (59,327 ) Change in fair value of convertible notes payable 147,347 — 147,347 Gain from sale of marketable securities 104,656 — 104,656 Total other (expense) income, net 193,094 — 193,094 Loss before provision for income taxes (6,548,095 ) (332,119 ) (6,215,976 ) Provision for income taxes — — — Net loss $ (6,548,095 ) $ (332,119 ) $ (6,215,976 ) General and Administrative General and administrative expenses for the year ended September 30, 2025 was $5,416,619 as compared to $328,469 for the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The $5,088,150 increase in general and administrative reflects increases in professional services such as legal, consulting and accounting. VW Holdings expects that its general and administrative expenses will increase in future periods commensurate with the expected growth of its business and increased expenditures associated with its status as an exchange listed public company. Research and Development Research and Development expenses for the year ended September 30, 2025 was $156,462 as compared to $3,650 for the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The $152,812 increase in research and development reflects increases in personnel and supplies related costs as the Company continues to develop its products. The Company expects that its research and development expense will increase in future periods commensurate with the expected growth of its business. Sales and Marketing Sales and marketing for the year ended September 30, 2025 was $1,168,108 as compared to $0 for the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The $1,168,108 increase in sales and marketing reflects increases in marketing such as investor awareness costs as the Company continues to develop its products. The Company expects that its sales and marketing expense will increase in future periods commensurate with the expected growth of its business. 37 Interest income During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company earned $418 in interest income on balances held in bank accounts. Interest expense Interest expense of $59,327 for the year ended September 30, 2025 is a mainly result of the accrual of interest on the convertible notes payable. Change in fair value of convertible notes payable The Company recorded a gain of $147,347 from the change in fair value of the convertible promissory note agreements issued under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement entered into on February 25, 2025. Gain on sale of marketable securities The Company gained $104,656, net from sale of marketable securities during the year ended September 30, 2025. Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern The Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash from financing activities. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,108,906 as of September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, working capital deficit was $11,795,728 and cash was $2,284,933. The Company received proceeds of approximately $23,846 as a result of the Reverse Acquisition in September 2025, after giving effect to stockholder redemptions and payment of transaction expenses in connection with the Reverse Acquisition. The Company received an additional $308,000 pursuant to the Securities Purchases agreement entered into on February 15, 2025 and $5,000,000 pursuant to the convertible promissory note agreements issued under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement referenced below. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending to support further sales and marketing and research and development efforts. In order to finance these opportunities, the Company will need to raise additional financing. While there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through issuances of additional equity. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $50 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA. Going Concern Evaluation Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued by considering the following: On April 8, 2025, with an effective date of March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Funding Support Agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC (“Stanley Hills”), the principal shareholder of VisionWave Technologies. Pursuant to the agreement, Stanley Hills irrevocably and unconditionally committed to provide financial support to the Company, sufficient to fund the working capital needs through December 29, 2026. The funding may be provided by Stanley Hills in the form of direct payments to third parties, advances or intercompany loans, or capital contributions, as mutually determined by the parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any such advances will be non-interest bearing and repayable only at such time as determined by the Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair the Company’s liquidity or ability to continue as a going concern. The agreement may not be terminated by Stanley Hills prior to the twelve-month period from the date of release of the financial statement. Management has determined that the agreement with Stanley Hills, cash receipts from customer arrangements, resource reallocation initiatives, additional insider investments and financing, along with its existing cash and committed affiliated support related combinations alleviated the risk about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements. Cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 The following table summarizes the Company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024: For the year ended September 30, For the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2025 2024 Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities $ (2,837,894 ) $ 2,014 Net cash provided by investing activities $ 114,375 $ — Net cash provided by financing activities $ 5,005,438 $ 1,00 0 38 Net Cash Used in Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities was $2,837,894 during the year ended September 30, 2025 compared to net cash provided operating activities of $2,014 during the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The period-to-period change was a result of VW Holding’s net loss for the period and increase in due to related party partially offset by the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities Net cash provided by investing activities was $114,375 during the year ended September 30, 2025 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0 during the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The period-to-period change was a result of proceeds from sale of investments. Net Cash provided by Financing Activities For the year ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $5,005,438 compared to net cash flow from financing activities of $1,000 during the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024. The period-to-period change was primarily due to proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable, the exercise of warrants and the prior to the Reverse Acquisition. Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
