Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual
Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective
to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the report that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable,
but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance
with U.S. accepted accounting principles. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
39
does not
expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected and such evaluation is subject to the risks discussed in item 1A – Risk Factors
of this Report.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2025, using the criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on management’s
assessment using the above criteria, management concluded that the Company maintained ineffective internal control over financial reporting
as of September 30, 2025.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified
the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies
and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Notwithstanding
the identified material weaknesses, discussed below, management, including the certifying officers, believes that the financial statements
contained in this Report filing fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the last fiscal year, there have been no changes
except as noted above in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal year that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are in the early stages of designing and implementing
a plan to remediate the material weaknesses identified. . Our plan includes the below:
●
Designing and implementing
a risk assessment process supporting the identification of risks.
●
Implementing systems and
controls to enhance our review of significant accounting transactions and other new technical accounting and financial reporting
issues and preparing and reviewing accounting memoranda addressing these issues.
●
Improving our internal
control policies and procedures to specifically address controls around segregation of duties, cybersecurity, user access reviews,
and changes in management.
●
Hiring additional experienced
accounting, financial reporting and internal control personnel and changing roles and responsibilities of our personnel as we transition
to being a public company and are required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“ Section 404 ”).
We are in the process of hiring additional resources and we are engaging with a third-party consulting firm to assist us with our
formal internal control plan and to provide accounting services related to complex accounting transactions.
●
Implementing controls to
enable an effective and timely review of period-end close procedures.
●
Implementing controls to
enable an accurate and timely review of accounting records that support our accounting processes and maintain documents for internal
accounting reviews.

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among any of our
executive officers and directors.
Corporate Governance
Board of Directors and Board Committees
Our stock (symbol: VWAV) is listed on the NASDAQ Global
Market. Under the rules of Nasdaq, “independent” directors must make up a majority of a listed company’s board of directors.
In addition, applicable NASDAQ rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit and
compensation committees be independent within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQ rules. Audit committee members must also satisfy the
independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
Our board of directors currently consists of 5 members.
Our board of directors has determined that Eric Shuss, Chuck Hansen and Haggai Ravid qualify as independent directors in accordance with
the NASDAQ Global Market, or NASDAQ listing requirements. Nasdaq’s independence definition includes a series of objective tests,
such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least 3 years, one of our employees and that neither the director nor any of
his or her family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as required by NASDAQ rules, our board
of directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist that, in the opinion of our
board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making
these determinations, our board of directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us regarding each director’s
business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management. There are no family relationships among
any of our directors or executive officers.
As required under NASDAQ rules and regulations and
in expectation of listing on NASDAQ, our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent
directors are present.
Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role
in Risk Oversight
Douglas Davis is the Executive Chairman. The Chairman
has authority, among other things, to preside over the Board meetings and set the agenda for the Board meetings. Accordingly, the Chairman
has substantial ability to shape the work of our Board. We currently believe that separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer ensures appropriate oversight by the Board of our business and affairs. However, no single leadership model is right for all companies
and at all times. The Board recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as the appointment of a lead
independent director, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board may periodically review its leadership structure.
Our Board is generally responsible for the oversight
of corporate risk in its review and deliberations relating to our activities. Our principal source of risk falls into two categories,
financial and product commercialization. The audit committee oversees management of financial risks; our Board regularly reviews information
regarding our cash position, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Board regularly reviews plans, results
and potential risks related to our system-wide restaurant growth, brand awareness and menu offerings. Our Compensation Committee is expected
to oversee risk management as it relates to our compensation plans, policies and practices for all employees including executives and
directors, particularly whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Committees of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has already established an
audit committee (the “Audit Committee”), a Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) and a Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee (“Governance Committee”). The composition and function of each committee are described
below.
44

The Audit Committee has three members, including Messrs.
Shuss, Hansen and Ravid. Mr. Ravid serves as the chairman of the Audit Committee and satisfies the definition of “audit committee

●
review accounting and financial controls with the independent auditors and our financial and accounting staff;
●
review and approve transactions between us and our directors, officers and affiliates;
●
recognize and prevent prohibited non-audit services; and
●
establish procedures for complaints received by us regarding accounting matters; oversee internal audit functions, if any.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee has three members, including
Messrs. Shuss, Hansen and Ravid. Mr. Hansen serves as the chairman of the Compensation Committee.
Our Compensation Committee is authorized to:
●
review and determine the compensation arrangements for management;
●
establish and review general compensation policies with the objective to attract and retain superior talent, to reward individual performance and to achieve our financial goals;
●
administer our stock incentive and purchase plans; and
●
review the independence of any compensation advisers.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Governance Committee has three members, including
Messrs. Shuss, Hansen and Ravid. Mr. Shuss serves as the chairman of the Governance Committee.
The functions of our Governance Committee, among other
things, include:
●
identifying individuals qualified to become board members and recommending director;
●
nominees and board members for committee membership;
●
developing and recommending to our board corporate governance guidelines;
●
review and determine the compensation arrangements for directors; and
●
overseeing the evaluation of our board of directors and its committees and management.
Our goal is to assemble a Board that brings together
a variety of skills derived from high quality business and professional experience.
45
Business Development Committee
On December 8, 2025, the Board established a Business
Development Committee of the Board and adopted a written charter for the committee (the “Charter”). The Business Development
Committee is tasked with assisting the Board in identifying, evaluating, and developing strategic business development opportunities,
including mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic partnerships, licensing arrangements, and other growth initiatives. The Board
appointed Ms. Nagypal and Ms. Dzikowski, each independent directors of the Company, as the initial members and Ms. Dzikowski shall serve
as the Chairperson of the Business Development Committee. As consideration for serving as Chairperson Business Development Committee,
Ms. Dzikowski receives $120,000 in cash and $60,000 in shares of common stock half of which vests upon commencing service and half of
which vests on the six month anniversary.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of the members of our Compensation Committee,
at any time, has been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served,
as a member of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers on our Board of
Directors or Compensation Committee. For a description of transactions between us and members of our Compensation Committee and affiliates
of such members, please see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions”.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics
that applies to all our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors
and executive officers. There is no arrangement or understanding between or among our executive officers and directors pursuant to which
any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or officer.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, during the last ten years, none of our directors and
executive officers has:
●
Had a bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.
●
Been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses.

has at any time been subject to any proceedings:
46
●
that were initiated by any regulatory, civil or criminal agency
●
in which claims alleging fraud were asserted and seeking damages in excess of $100,000
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Policy (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to all directors and officers, which is available upon request. The Code of Ethics
describes the legal, ethical and regulatory standards that must be followed by the directors and officers of the Company and sets forth
high standards of business conduct applicable to each director and officer. As adopted, the Code of Ethics sets forth written standards
that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote, among other things:
●
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
●
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
●
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics to the appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and
●
accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of our
common stock to file reports of initial ownership of common stock and other equity securities and subsequent changes in that ownership
with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of
all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written
representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 all Section 16(a) filing requirements
applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.
Equity Award Grant Practices
Equity awards are made by the Compensation Committee,
are discretionary and are not granted to executive officers and employees at any specific time in the year. In July 2025 the Board adopted
a Policy on Granting Equity Awards (“Equity Policy”). Under the Equity Policy, awards to employees shall be made on a date
when the Company’s insider trading window is “open” (i.e., when the Company is not in possession of material non-public
information), and which is at least five business days after the most recent release of the Company’s quarterly or annual earnings,
or Form 8-K Current Report that discloses material non-public information. With respect to grants made to executive officers, and new
hires who will become executive officers the Company shall not grant and/or price of stock options or other incentive securities under
any securities-based compensation arrangement of the Company during the period beginning four (4) business days before and ending one
(1) business day after the filing by the Company of a Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, Form 10-K Annual Report or Form 8-K Current Report that
discloses material non-public information (other than a current report on Form 8–K disclosing a material new option award grant
under Item 5.02I of that form). Grants of stock options to new hires (other than those who will become Section 16 officers), will not
be subject to the same restrictions but will be made on the later of the date of approval of the grant by the Compensation Committee and
the date of commencement of employment.
Annual grants of equity awards to members of the Board
shall be effective within three business days after the date of the Annual Stockholders Meeting at which such Director is elected or re-elected
(subject that being in an open period in accordance with the previous paragraph). For Directors appointed other than at an Annual Stockholders
Meeting, initial grants of equity awards shall be effective on the date the Director is appointed (subject that being in an open period
in accordance with the previous paragraph).
In each case where applicable, the exercise/grant price for an award will
be equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date.

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 5608 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Policy provides for the recovery of certain

Employment Agreements
August 6, 2025 Agreements
On August 6, 2025, the Company entered into employment
agreements with Douglas Davis (Executive Chairman), Noam Kenig (Chief Executive Officer), and Danny Rittman (Chief Technology Officer)
(collectively, the “August Executives”). Each agreement has an initial three-year term commencing August 6, 2025, with automatic
one-year renewals unless terminated with at least 30 days’ prior written notice. On December 29, 2025, Mr. Kenig resigned as Chief
Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, effective immediately for personal reasons. Mr. Kenig's resignation
was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. As
a result of Mr. Kenig’s resignation Mr. Kenig’s Employment Agreement was terminated. Mr. Davis was appointed as Interim Chief
Executive Officer.
Under the employment agreement, Mr. Davis receives
an initial base salary of $150,000 annually, increasing to $300,000 upon the Company achieving $3 million in revenue in any 90-day period
and to $600,000 upon achieving $6 million in such a period, with further adjustments to fair market rates thereafter. Mr. Rittman receives
an initial base salary of $120,000 annually, increasing to $240,000 upon $3 million in revenue in any 90-day period and to $360,000 upon
$6 million in such a period, with further adjustments to fair market rates. Mr. Davis and Mr. Kenig are each eligible for an annual performance
bonus targeted at 2% of the Company’s net income as reflected in its SEC-filed financial statements.
48
The August Executives are entitled to four weeks of
paid vacation annually, participation in the Company’s benefit plans (including medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance,
and 401(k)), and reimbursement of reasonable business expenses. Upon termination without cause or resignation for good reason, each is
entitled to severance equal to the greater of $600,000 or two times their then-current base salary, payable within six months and subject
to execution of a general release. In the event of a change in control followed by termination within three months, all outstanding equity
awards vest immediately and severance becomes payable. The agreements include standard provisions for termination for cause, death, disability,
or without good reason, with limited payments in such cases.
Each August Executive also entered into a Proprietary
Information, Inventions Assignment, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Competition Agreement, as well as a Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate.
Pursuant to these agreements and the 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan,”
subject to shareholder approval), the Company granted nonstatutory stock options to Mr. Davis and Mr. Kenig to purchase 2,000,000 shares
each and to Mr. Rittman to purchase 500,000 shares. Mr. Kenig’s options were terminated upon his resignation. Each option has an
exercise price of $7.20 per share (fair market value on the grant date), vests in twelve equal quarterly installments over four years
commencing on the date of shareholder approval of the Plan, is exercisable for five years from the grant date, and permits cashless exercise.
The grants are contingent upon shareholder approval of the Plan; if not approved, they become null and void.
September 2, 2025 Agreements
On September 2, 2025, the Company entered into employment
agreements with Elad Shoval (Chief Revenue Officer), David Allon (Chief Operating Officer), and Jaz Williman (Senior Systems Engineer
– UGV) (collectively, the “September Executives”). Each agreement has an initial three-year term commencing September
2, 2025, with automatic one-year renewals unless terminated with at least 30 days’ prior written notice.
Under these agreements, Mr. Shoval and Mr. Allon each
receive an initial base salary of $120,000 annually, increasing to $240,000 upon the Company achieving $10 million in revenue in any 90-day
period and to $360,000 upon achieving $60 million in such a period, with further adjustments to fair market rates thereafter. Mr. Williman
receives an initial base salary of $120,000 annually, increasing to $200,000 upon $10 million in revenue in any 90-day period and to $300,000
upon $60 million in such a period, with further adjustments to fair market rates. Mr. Shoval is eligible for an annual performance bonus
targeted at 0.05% of the Company’s net revenue as reflected in its financial statements, Mr. Allon at 0.5% of net income, and Mr.
Williman at 0.35% of net income.
The benefits, severance, change-in-control, and other
termination provisions for the September Executives are identical to those for the August Executives.
Each September Executive also entered into a Proprietary
Information, Inventions Assignment, Non-Solicitation, and Non-Competition Agreement, as well as a Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate.
Pursuant to these agreements and the Plan (subject
to shareholder approval), the Company granted non-statutory stock options to Mr. Shoval and Mr. Allon to purchase 500,000 shares each
and to Mr. Williman to purchase 250,000 shares. Each option has an exercise price of $9.09 per share (fair market value on the grant date),

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
and Related Stockholder Matters
The
following table sets forth information as of December 30, 2025, as to each person or group
who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding voting securities
and as to the security and percentage ownership of each of our executive officers and directors
and of all of our officers and directors as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined under
the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except
in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table,
we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment
power over all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder. Shares
of Common Stock that are currently exercisable or convertible within 60 days of December
30, 2025 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the
purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of that person, but are not treated
as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each stockholder is c/o VisionWave Holdings,
Inc. at 300 Delaware Avenue, Suite 210 #301, Wilmington, Delaware 19801.
The beneficial ownership of VisionWave’s Common
Stock is based on 15,016,603 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following consummation of the Business Combination.
References to “common stock” in the table below and its related footnotes are to the VisionWave’s Common Stock.

Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid in full.

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
VisionWave Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of VisionWave
Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from March 20, 2024
(inception) to September 30, 2024, 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 September
30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from
March 20, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2024, 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 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.

We
have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

VISIONWAVE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1— Organization and Business Operations
VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (“VW Holdings”
or the “Company”) is a Delaware company incorporated in 2024. VW Holdings is the successor to Bannix Acquisition Corp., (“Bannix”)
a blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 21, 2021 for the purpose of effecting mergers, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisitions, stock purchases, reorganization or similar business combinations with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).
Prior to the succession of Bannix by VW Holdings,
on March 26, 2024, Bannix entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Original Agreement”), by and among Bannix, VisionWave
Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Target” or “VW Tech.”) and the shareholders of Target.
On September 6, 2024, Bannix entered into a Merger
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Bannix, VisionWave Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Bannix (“VW Holdings”), BNIX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation
and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave (“Parent Merger Sub”), BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation
and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave (“Company Merger Sub”), and Target.
On July 14, 2025, Bannix closed its proposed merger
with VisionWave Technologies Inc.
Note 2— 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.

(Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which improves reportable segment disclosure
requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses among other disclosure requirements.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,”
as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart
our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being
required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations
regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding
advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts
emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that
is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered
under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company
can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but
any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that
when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging
growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison
of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth
company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting
standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these 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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository
Insurance Coverage of $ 250,000 . At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $ 1,774,899 and $ 0 deposits in excess of the Federal Depository
Insurance Coverage, respectively. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.
F- 8
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.
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.
The Company accounts for certain business combinations
that meet the definition of a reverse merger (also referred to as a reverse recapitalization) in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations,
and ASC 810, Consolidation. A reverse merger occurs when the legal acquirer is determined to be the accounting acquiree, and the legal
acquiree is determined to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly:
● No
goodwill or intangible assets are recorded
● The
transaction is treated as a capital transaction in substance
● The
accounting acquirer’s assets and liabilities are carried forward at their historical
carrying amounts
● The
accounting acquiree’s net assets are recognized at fair value, if applicable
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts
in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less
when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did no t have any cash equivalents as of
September 30, 2025 and 2024.
I nvestments
The Company from time to time invests in equity securities. All marketable
equity securities held by the Company are accounted for under “Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320,
“ Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company accounts for available-for-sale equity investments at fair
value. From time to time, if the Company determines that the available market price of an available for sale investments is not a reasonable
indicator of the fair value, the Company will determine the best estimate of that fair value which is usually the cost.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s cash, current
assets and current liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, due to their
short-term nature.
Fair value is defined as the price which would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
A three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included
in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active,
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds,
credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining
the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
As of September 30, 2025, other than the convertible
notes discussed below, the Company did not hold any financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring or
nonrecurring basis.
Convertible notes payable
The Company follows FASB ASC
480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480"), when evaluating the accounting for its convertible instruments. A
financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share that embodies
a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares shall be classified as
a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly
on any one of the following: (a) a fixed monetary amount known at inception; (b) variations in something other than the fair value of
the issuer’s equity shares; or (c) variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares.
Convertible note instruments meeting these criteria are not further evaluated for any embedded derivatives and are carried as a liability
at fair value at each balance sheet date.
For convertible debt instruments
that are not considered liabilities under ASC 480 or ASC 815, the Company applies FASB ASC 470, Debt ("ASC 470"), for the accounting
of such instruments, including any premiums or discounts.
Offsetting Balances
In accordance with ASC Topic 210 “Balance Sheet”,
the Company’s accounting policy is to offset assets and liabilities when a right of offset exist. Accordingly, the consolidated
balance sheets include transactions with affiliated parties on a net basis.
F- 9
Research and Development Cost
The Company accounts for research and development
cost (“R&D”) in accordance with ASC Topic 730, “Research and Development”. R&D represents costs are expensed
as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts . The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve the core principle, the Company applied the following five-step model
that requires entities to exercise judgment:
(1) Identify the contracts or agreements with a customer:
The purchase order is considered to be the contract with the customer. The Company’s revenue is derived from the customer orders
evidenced by the contract with the customer.
(2) Identifying the performance obligations in the
contract or agreement: The contract with the customer contains a single performance obligation: fulfillment of the customer’s order.
(3) Determine the transaction price: The Company’s
arrangements pursuant to the contract require a full prepayment from the customer at a fixed price before the shipment of products. The
transaction price is the amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive.
(4) Allocate the transaction price to the separate
performance obligations: All transaction prices are allocated to the single performance obligation.
(5) Recognize revenue as each performance obligation
is satisfied: This performance obligation is satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which occurred upon
completion of the customer’s live testing.
The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts
when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its
clients.
During the years ending September 30, 2025 and 2024,
no revenue was recorded.
Cost of Goods Sold
The Company’s cost of goods sold is comprised of costs related to its
commercial revenue, including the cost of sourcing the equipment for sale. During the years ending September 30, 2025 and 2024, no cost
of goods sold was recorded.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing
the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding for the year. 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.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included
the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business,
the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, which cover a wide range
of matters, including, among others, government investigations, shareholder lawsuits, and non-income tax matters.
An accrual for a loss contingency
is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If a potential
material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent
liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed.
Related party and related-party transactions
Related parties, which can
be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other
party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered
to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder,
or a related corporation.
Transactions involving related
parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market
dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions
were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due to or from related parties due to their related-party nature.
F- 10
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered
or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included
the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by
taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax
expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2025 and 2024. Interest and penalties as of $ 35,065
and $0 was accrued for the year ended September 30, 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, respectively. The
Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation
from its position.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs, which
consist of direct and incremental legal, accounting, consulting, printing, and other third-party fees related to the Company’s issuance
of shares, are capitalized as assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred offering costs will be offset against proceeds from
the offering upon issuance of shares.
Advertising and Promotion
All costs associated with advertising
and promoting products are expensed as incurred.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation —
Stock Compensation regarding shares granted to directors, officers and vendors of the Company by measuring the grant date fair value of
the award and recognizing the resulting expense over the period during which the employee is required to perform service in exchange for
the award. Equity-based compensation expense is only recognized for awards subject to performance conditions if it is probable that the
performance condition will be achieved. The Company accounts for forfeitures when they occur.
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.
Note 4 — Recapitalization
As outlined in Note 1, the Company consummated the
Reverse Acquisition with VisionWave Technologies on July 14, 2025.
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 Holdings 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.”
F- 11
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.
As described in the Merger Agreement, VW Holdings
has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan
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. VisionWave Technologies
Inc. has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances under the redemption
scenarios:
● VisionWave Technologies Inc.’s existing stockholders had more than
69% of the voting interest of VW Holdings under both the no redemption and maximum redemption scenarios;
● VisionWave Technologies Inc.’s senior management comprises the senior
management of VW Holdings Inc.; the directors nominated by VisionWave Technologies represent the majority of the board of directors
of VW Holdings Inc.;
● VisionWave Technologies Inc.’s operations comprises the ongoing operations
of VW Holdings Inc.
Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse
Acquisition 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 were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations
prior to the Reverse Acquisition were those of VisionWave Technologies, Inc.
Transaction Proceeds
Upon closing of the Reverse Acquisition, the Company
acquired cash of $ 1,169,746 as a result of the Reverse Acquisition, and paid total transaction costs of $ 1,145,900 . The following

Note 6 — Excise Tax Payable
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of
2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a 1% federal excise tax on certain
repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations
occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which
shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of
the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value
of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions
apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations
and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
On December 27, 2022, the Treasury published Notice
2023-2, which provided clarification on some aspects of the application of the excise tax. The notice generally provides that if a publicly
traded U.S. corporation completely liquidates and dissolves, distributions in such complete liquidation and other distributions by such
corporation in the same taxable year in which the final distribution in complete liquidation and dissolution is made are not subject to
the excise tax. Although such notice clarifies certain aspects of the excise tax, the interpretation and operation of aspects of the excise
tax (including its application and operation with respect to SPACs) remain unclear and such interim operating rules are subject to change.
Because the application of this excise tax is not
entirely clear, any redemption or other repurchase effected by the Company, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote
or otherwise, may be subject to this excise tax. Because any such excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming
holders, it could cause a reduction in the value of the Company’s Class A common stock, cash available with which to effectuate
a Business Combination or cash available for distribution in a subsequent liquidation. Whether and to what extent the Company would be
subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination will depend on a number of factors, including (i) the structure of
the Business Combination, (ii) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, (iii)
the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the Business Combination (or any other equity
issuances within the same taxable year of the Business Combination) and (iv) the content of any subsequent regulations, clarifications,
and other guidance issued by the Treasury. Further, the application of the excise tax in respect of distributions pursuant to a liquidation
of a publicly traded U.S. corporation is uncertain and has not been addressed by the Treasury in regulations, and it is possible that
the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be used to pay any excise tax owed by the Company in the event the Company is unable to complete
a Business Combination in the required time and redeem 100% of the remaining Class A common stock in accordance with the Company’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in which case the amount that would otherwise be received by the public stockholders
in connection with the Company’s liquidation would be reduced.
Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after
December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and
to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would
depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business
Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any PIPE or other equity
issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination, but issued within
the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition,
because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise
tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and
in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Internal
Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise tax. These regulations provided that the
filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 would be October 31,
2024. Any amount of such excise tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated
at 8% interest per annum, a 0.5% underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25% of the total liability for any amount
that is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full, and a failure to file penalty of 5% per month.
F- 14
Prior to the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition,
Bannix’s common stock exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in Bannix’s Trust Account.
As a result of these redemptions, Bannix estimated the excise tax liability and applicable interest and penalties pursuant to the IR Act.
At the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition, $ 888,332 , inclusive of excise tax interest and penalties. An additional $ 54,707 of interest
of penalties is estimated after close and included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, $ 943,039 of excise tax liabilities inclusive of interest and penalties is recorded in the consolidated balance
sheets.
Note 7 — Promissory Note - Evie
Prior to the consummation of the Reverse Acquisition,
Bannix issued unsecured promissory notes to Evie Autonomous LTD (“Evie”) with a principal amount of $ 1,003,995 (the “Evie
Autonomous Extension Notes”). The Evie Autonomous Extension Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of
(a) the date of the consummation of Bannix’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of Bannix’s liquidation. On December
26, 2024 and amended on May 27, 2025, Bannix entered into an agreement to defer payment of the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes. Under
the deferment agreement, these amounts will not become payable until any Pre-Paid Advance issued in connection with the SEPA is repaid
in full (See Note 9). The balance of $ 1,003,995 was assumed at the close of the Reverse Acquisition. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024,
the balance of $ 1,003,995 and $ 0 , respectively, owing to Evie is reported as promissory notes – Evie on the consolidated balance
sheets.
Note 8 — Related Party Transactions
Due to Related Parties

Standby Equity Purchase Agreement - Pre Paid
Advance
In connection with the SEPA (See Note 11), and
subject to the condition set forth therein, the 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”) provided, however, that the Floor Price shall be adjusted (downwards only) to equal 20% of the average
VWAP for the five (5) Trading Days immediately prior to the earlier of (i) date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (ii)
the six-month anniversary of the date of the SEPA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may reduce the Floor Price to any
amounts set forth in a written notice to the Holder; provided that such reduction shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to
increase thereafter. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default,
F- 16
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 Convertible Notes is a legal debt obligation
with a variable-share conversion feature that ensures a fixed monetary return to the holder, thus qualifying as a liability under ASC
480-10. the Note remains a liability after issuance and the instrument is remeasured after initial recognition, with changes in fair
value recognized in earnings each reporting period until settlement, modification, or extinguishment, consistent with the liability-classified
model. As of September 30, 2025, the par value of the notes was $ 5,000,000 and the fair value of the notes was $ 4,552,653 . For the year
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, total interest expense $ 39,288
and $ 0
was included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, respectively.
The Convertible notes were valued using unobservable inputs
that are not corroborated by market data (Level 3). The valuation is based on Monte Carlo Simulation to simulate weekly stock prices
through maturity. The enterprise value is then allocated to each class of outstanding shares and convertible notes based on an option
pricing model where the value for each class is driven by the current value and expected volatility of the underlying equity value.

the underwriters are entitled to a Business Combination marketing fee of 3.5 %
of the gross proceeds of the sale of Units in the IPO upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination subject

Note
11 — Commitment and Contingencies
Standby Equity
Purchase Agreement
On July 25, 2025, the
Company entered into the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership
(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.
F- 17
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.
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”) (See Note 9).
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. The total consideration
of $ 1,350,000 is
recorded as general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2025 and is inclusive of fair value if
$ 470,000 of
the 200,000 shares
issued and $350,000 consulting fees. At September 30, 2025, $ 390,000 of
the commitment fee is unpaid and included in accrued expenses on the accompanying balance sheets.
F- 18
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.
The SEPA fails the fixed-for-fixed equity
classification test due to the Exchange Cap requiring shareholder approval, which constitutes a variable settlement contingency outside
the issuer’s control. Therefore, equity classification under ASC 815-40 is precluded, and the SEPA must be accounted for as a liability
(or derivative liability, as applicable). While the SEPA has an underlying (the issuer’s stock price) and a notional amount (the
$50 million commitment), it does not meet the third characteristic of a derivative because it requires more than a nominal initial net
investment (e.g., the $5 million Pre-Paid Advance in two tranches and related fees). Therefore, the SEPA does not meet the definition
of a derivative under ASC 815-10-15-83. Accordingly, the SEPA should be recorded as non-derivative liability requiring ongoing fair value
remeasurement. As of September 30, 2025, based on management assumptions the SEPA liability was zero.
Joint Venture
On August 25, 2025,
the Company entered into a Strategic Joint Venture Agreement (the “AIPHEX Agreement”) with AIPHEX LTD (“AIPHEX”),
GBT Tokenize Corp. (“TOKENIZE”), and GBT Technologies, Inc. (“GBT”). Pursuant to the AIPHEX Agreement, the parties
agreed to form a joint venture limited liability company in the State of Nevada (the “JV LLC”) for the purpose of collaborating
on certain designated defense and technology projects (the “Designated Projects and Background IP”). At September 30, 2025,
the JV LLC was neither formed nor funded.
Memorandum of Understanding
On September 2, 2025,
the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MoU”) with VEDA Aeronautics Private Limited (“VEDA”),
a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 2013, of India.
Pursuant to the MoU,
the Company and VEDA intend to collaborate on several Indian Ministry of Defense (“MoD”) procurement programs (the “Programs”),
including but not limited to: (a) Drone Kill System (Make-2) – interceptor drone development; (b) ALTV (New Generation Light Tank)
– 357 tanks, with Company subsystems proposed as onboard modules; (c) FRCV (Main Battle Tank Program) – 1,770 main battle
tanks; and (d) T72/T90 Retrofit Program for tanks. Under the MoU, VEDA has invited the Company to supply and develop core subsystems,
including counter-UAS systems, tactical drones, radar technologies, advance protection systems (APS) systems, sensor fusion technologies,
and unmanned platforms for defense and homeland security applications. The parties intend to collaborate in technical proposals, demonstrations,
and joint pursuit of contracts for these Programs.
Contingent Commission
Payable
On May 22, 2025, VisionWave
Technologies executed an Addendum to an existing agreement, pursuant to which Raptor LLC was appointed as exclusive sales agent for 280,534
TFLM shares (See Note 15) and Raptor LLC will be entitled to a fixed fee of $ 50,000 ,
payable from the gross proceeds of the share sale of the TFLM shares. As of September 30, 2025, no sale of the TFLM shares has occurred,
and VisionWave Technologies has not granted the required power of attorney over its brokerage account to enable such sales. Accordingly,
the commission obligation to Raptor LLC is considered contingent.
Consulting Agreement
On September 26, 2025,
the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “CTMG Agreement”) with Crypto Treasury Management Group, LLC (“CTMG”),
pursuant to which CTMG will provide advisory and strategic services to assist the Company in establishing a digital asset treasury reserve.
The services include, among other things, developing a crypto treasury strategy, recommending custodians, designing staking protocols
(if applicable), assisting with capital formation in collaboration with a licensed securities underwriter, and supporting regulatory
and tax compliance efforts.
The CTMG Agreement
has an initial term of two years, subject to earlier termination under certain conditions, including for convenience with 60 days’
notice or for material breach. In consideration for the services, the Company has agreed to pay CTMG: (i) a retainer fee of $ 50,000
upon signing, which was pre-paid as an advance on September 24, 2025, with an additional
$ 50,000
due upon execution of binding definitive agreements related to the crypto treasury transaction;
(ii) a success fee of 17 Bitcoin (or cash equivalent) upon successful deployment of at least $20 million into crypto assets for the Company’s
treasury; and (iii) 250,000
shares of the Company’s common stock upon closing of the crypto treasury transaction,
subject to SEC Rule 144 restrictions and inclusion in future registration statements where applicable. The Company will also reimburse
CTMG for pre-approved reasonable expenses.
F- 19
Litigation
From time to time,
the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims or disputes in the ordinary course of business. The Company defends itself vigorously
in all such matters but cannot predict the outcome or effect of any potential litigation, claims or disputes.
On September 5, 2025,
Better Works LLC filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, captioned Better Works LLC v. VisionWave
Holdings, Inc. and Douglas E. Davis, Index No. 655268/2025. The Summons with Notice asserts claims for breach of contract and seeks (i)
a declaratory judgment regarding affiliate status and the applicability or expiration of certain lock-up provisions relating to private-placement
units exchanged in connection with the Company’s business combination, (ii) injunctive relief permitting the plaintiff to sell
such units, and (iii) monetary damages in an amount to be determined. Service of process addressed to VisionWave’s Delaware registered
agent was recorded as received on September 9, 2025. On September 30, 2025, counsel for the Company and Mr. Davis served a demand for
the complaint pursuant to CPLR 3012(b), expressly reserving all defenses, including objections to service and personal jurisdiction.
As of the date of this Report, no complaint has been served on the defendants. The Company believes the asserted claims are without merit
and intends to defend the matter vigorously.
Except as described
above, the Company is not a party to any other pending legal proceedings that management believes, individually or in the aggregate,
would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000
shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.01
per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined
from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock
issued or outstanding.
Common Stock —
The Company is authorized to issue 150,000,000
shares of common stock with par value of $ 0.01

Warrants
As part of the Bannix
IPO, Bannix issued 6,900,000
warrants to third-party investors where each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase
one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50
per share (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO,
Bannix completed the private sale of 406,000
Private Placement warrants where each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of
the Company’s Class A common stock at $ 11.50
per share.
Bannix accounted for
the 6,900,000
warrants issued in connection with the IPO and private placement in accordance with the guidance
contained in ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision, the Private Warrants did not meet the
criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability. Accordingly, Bannix classified the Private Warrants as a liability at
fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. The Public Warrants met the classification for equity treatment.
The warrants became
exercisable on the later of 12 months from the closing of this offering or upon completion of its initial Business Combination and will
expire five years after the completion of Reverse Acquisition, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
Once the warrants become
exercisable, the Company may redeem the 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
F- 20
● if, and
only if, the reported last sale price of the Public Shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00
per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions,
share consolidations, share capitalizations, rights issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third
trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
● if, and
only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the issuance
of the shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day
trading period referred to above and continuing each day until the date of redemption.
At the time of the
Reverse Acquisition, The Private Placement Warrants became identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Bannix
IPO. The Private Placement Warrants were classified as Equity upon close of the Reverse Acquisition. During the year ended September
2025 and the period from March 20, 2024 (inception) to September 30, 2024, 1008 and 0 warrants were exercised. At September 30,

13 — Gain on Sale of Marketable Securities
On June 4, 2024, VW
Tech invested in 10 million shares Avant Technologies, Inc. (“AVAI”). On February 28, 2025 and March 5, 2025, VW Tech sold
264,112
of AVAI shares for net proceeds of $ 114,111
for a total gain of $104,656 on sale of marketable securities. On April 28, 2025, the Company
sold its remaining holding of 9,735,888
shares of AVAI, which were recorded at par value of $ 0.001
per share to a third party in exchange for 280,534
shares of Tofla Megaline Inc. (“TFML”). The Company determined that the quoted
price of the TFLM shares was not a reliable indicator of fair value at the measurement date as the historical price data indicates that
TFLM shares consistently reflected zero daily trading volume over an extended period. Therefore, the Company measured the TFLM shares
received at par value of $0.001 per share, which was deemed the most reliable and supportable estimate of fair value at the transaction
date under ASC 820.
As a result of this non-cash exchange, the Company recognized
a loss on sale of the 9,735,888
share of AVAI of approximately $ 9,455 .
The total gain on sale of AVAI shares of $ 104,656
is recorded in the recorded as gain on sale of marketable securities on the consolidated
statements of operations. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, the total par value of TFML shares of $ 281
and $ 0 ,
is recorded as investment in marketable securities available for share on the consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities result primarily
from temporary differences in the recognition of various expenses for tax and financial statement purposes, and from the recognition of
the tax benefits of net operating loss carryforwards.
The Company’s net deferred tax assets (liability)
at September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

The Company’s
net operating loss carryforward as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 amounted to $ 728,566
and $ 69,745,
will be carried forward indefinitely.
In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets,
management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of 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 temporary
differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the
information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax
assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the year ended September 30 2025 and the period from March 20, 2024
(inception) to September 30, 2024, the change in the valuation allowance was $1,276,805 and $69,745, respectively.

Reverse Acquisition to September 30, 2025. Until remedied, the Company will continue to incur these expenses.
Note
15 — Segment Information
ASC Topic 280 establishes
standards for companies to report financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and
major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available
that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to
allocate resources and assess performance.
The CODM has been identified
as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources
and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment
and decides how to allocate resources based on operating loss that also is reported on the consolidated statements of operations. The
measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance
and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

The key metrics included in segment profit or loss
reviewed by the CODM are operating costs. The CODM reviews operating costs to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available
to meet operational needs and fund research and development efforts. The CODM also reviews operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce
all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.
