NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

Bannix Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “Bannix”) is a blank check company incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 21, 2021. The Company was formed 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”).

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 21, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “IPO”) (as defined below) and the Company’s search for a target and the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash from the proceeds derived from the IPO and non-operating income or expense from the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

Sponsors and Officers

The Company’s original sponsors were Subash Menon and Sudeesh Yezhuvath (through their investment entity Bannix Management LLP), Suresh Yezhuvath (“Yezhuvath”) and Seema Rao (“Rao”) (collectively, the “Former Sponsor”).

On October 20, 2022, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), Instant Fame LLC, a Nevada limited liability company controlled by a U.S. person (“Instant Fame”) (the “Sponsor”), acquired an aggregate of 385,000 shares of common stock of the Company from Bannix Management LLP, Balaji Venugopal Bhat, Nicholos Hellyer, Subbanarasimhaiah Arun, Vishant Vora and Suresh Yezhuvath and 90,000 private placement units from Suresh Yezhuvath (collectively, the “Sellers”) in a private transaction. The Sellers immediately loaned the entire proceeds to the Company for the working capital requirements of the Company. This loan will be forfeited by the Sellers upon liquidation or business combination. In connection with this transaction, all parties agreed to certain changes to the Board of Directors.

As a result of the above, Subash Menon resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company and Nicholas Hellyer resigned as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Head of Strategy. Douglas Davis was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Further, Balaji Venugopal Bhat, Subbanarasimhaiah Arun and Vishant Vora resigned as Directors of the Company. Mr. Bhat, Mr. Arun and Mr. Vora served on the Audit Committee with Mr. Bhat serving as the committee chair. Mr. Bhat, Mr. Arun and Mr. Vora served on the Compensation Committee with Mr. Arun serving as the committee chair.

The Board was also increased from two to seven and Craig Marshak and Douglas Davis were appointed as Co-Chairmans of the Board of Directors effective immediately. Further, Jamal Khurshid, Eric T. Shuss and Ned L. Siegel were appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company. The resignations referenced above were not the result of any disagreement with management or the Board.

On November 10, 2022, Sudeesh Yezhuvath resigned as a director of the Company for personal reasons. The resignation was not the result of any disagreements with management or the Board.

Due to vacancies as results of board members departure, on November 11, 2022 the Board made the following decisions: (i) Jamie Khurshid, Ned Siegel and Eric Shuss each have been identified as being financially literate and independent under the SEC and Nasdaq Rules have been appointed to the Audit Committee to serve until their successors are qualified and appointed with such appointment subject to the mailing of that certain Schedule 14F Information Statement. Mr. Khurshid chairs the audit committee. (ii) Mr. Siegel, Mr. Shuss and Craig Marshak each have been identified as being independent under the SEC and Nasdaq Rules were appointed to the Compensation Committee to serve until their successors are qualified and appointed with such appointment subject to the mailing of that certain Schedule 14F Information Statement. (iii) Messrs. Davis and Marshak have been appointed as Class III directors, Subash Menon has been appointed as a Class I director and, subject to the mailing of the Schedule 14F Information Statement, Messrs. Khurshid, Siegel and Shuss have been appointed as the Class II directors. The Schedule 14F Information Statement was mailed on or about November 15, 2022.

On May 19, 2023, the Company entered into an Executive Retention Agreement with Mr. Davis, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, providing for an at-will employment arrangement that may be terminated by either party at any time, which provides for the payment of an annual salary of $240,000 to Mr. Davis. Additionally, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Subash Menon, a director of the Company, for services in connection with the review and advice pertaining to the proposed Business Combination (discussed below) providing for a payment in the amount of $200,000 upon the closing of a Business Combination.

On April 10, 2024, Erik Klinger was appointed by the Company to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. There is no understanding or arrangement between Mr. Klinger and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as an executive officer. Mr. Klinger does not have any family relationship with any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by us to become an executive officer. The employment of Mr. Klinger is at will and may be terminated at any time, with or without formal cause.

Initial Public Offering

The registration statements for the Company’s IPO were declared effective on September 9, 2021 and September 10, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On September 14, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO of 6,900,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”), which is discussed in Note 2. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock (the “Public Shares”), one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Concurrent with the IPO, the Company consummated the issuance of 406,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) as follows: the Company sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 Private Placement Units to the Former Sponsor in exchange for the cancellation of $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them (see Note 5). Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination.

Trust Account and Extensions

Following the closing of the IPO on September 14, 2021, an amount of $69,690,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company. The Company has since divested its investments in the Trust Account and placed the funds in an interest-bearing demand deposit account. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), the proceeds from this offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (a) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (c) the redemption of the Company’s Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within 15 months from the closing of this offering, or within any period of extension, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

March 8, 2023 Special Meeting

The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on March 8, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholder approved the filing of an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Extension Amendment”), to extend the date (the “Extension”) by which the Company must (1) complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (an “initial Business Combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial Business Combination and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s common stock (“common stock”) included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on September 14, 2021 (the “IPO”), from March 14, 2023, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to twelve (12) times by an additional one (1) month each time after March 14, 2023 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), if requested by Instant Fame upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline date, until March 14, 2024, or a total of up to twelve (12) months after March 14, 2023 (such date as extended, the “Deadline Date”), unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto.

At the Special Meeting, stockholders holding a total of 3,960,387 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $41,077,199 (approximately $10.37 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company had 5,463,613 shares outstanding.

March 8, 2024 Annual Meeting

Additionally, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to remove from the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the redemption limitation contained under Section 9.2(a) preventing the Company from closing a Business Combination if it would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (the “NTA Amendment”).

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders holding a total of 1,381,866 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $15,134,429 (approximately $10.95 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company has 4,081,747 shares outstanding.

September 6, 2024 Special Meeting

On September 6, 2024, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “September 2024 Special Meeting”), whereby the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “September 2024 Amendment”), to extend the Deadline Date from September 14, 2024, as extended, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to six (6) times by an additional one (1) month each time after September 14, 2024 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, if requested by the Company’s Sponsor, until March 14, 2025, or a total of up to six (6) months after September 14, 2024, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “September 2024 Extension Amendment”).

Additionally, beginning in September 2024, the Sponsor or its designees will deposit into the Trust Account, as a loan, $16,237 or $0.05 per public share multiplied by the number of public shares outstanding (the “Contribution”), in connection with each Extension.

At the September 2024 Special Meeting, stockholders holding a total of 1,232,999 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $13,790,479 (approximately $11.18 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. Following redemptions, the Company has 2,848,748 shares outstanding.

In association with the Company’s special meetings and annual meeting, as of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company has deposited an aggregate of $1,772,474 into the Trust Account to extend the Deadline Date to November 14, 2024.

Initial Business Combination

The Company has until September 14, 2025 (unless extended) to (1) complete a Business Combination, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination, and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s common stock included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering.

The Company may extend the Deadline Date, without another stockholder vote, to extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to one (1) time by an additional one (1) month each time after September 14, 2024 or later extended Deadline Date, by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, if requested by the Company’s Sponsor, until March 14, 2025, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto.

In the event that the Company receives notice from Instant Fame five days prior to the applicable deadline of its wish for the Company to effect an extension, the Company intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, the Company intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. Instant Fame and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for the Company to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to consummate the initial Business Combination within the applicable time period, the Company will, promptly but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and promptly following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the rights and warrants will be worthless. Additionally, pursuant to Nasdaq rules, any initial Business Combination must be approved by a majority of the independent directors.

The Company anticipates structuring the initial Business Combination so that the post-transaction company in which the public stockholders’ own shares will own or acquire substantially all of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. The Company may, however, structure the initial Business Combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than substantially all of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or stockholders or for other reasons, but the Company will only complete such Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, the stockholders prior to the initial Business Combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and the Company in the Business Combination transaction. For example, the Company could pursue a transaction in which the Company issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of shares or other equity interests. In this case, the Company would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target. However, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, the stockholders immediately prior to the initial Business Combination could own less than a majority of the outstanding shares subsequent to the initial Business Combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test. If the initial Business Combination involves more than one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses even if the acquisitions of the target businesses are not closed simultaneously.

The Company cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds currently held in the Trust Account prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the Business Combination, the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or because the Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of the Public Shares upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Company will be required to seek additional financing, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Furthermore, the Company may issue a substantial number of additional shares of common or preferred stock to complete the initial Business Combination or under an employee incentive plan upon or after consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company does not have a maximum debt leverage ratio or a policy with respect to how much debt the Company may incur. The amount of debt the Company will be willing to incur will depend on the facts and circumstances of the proposed Business Combination and market conditions at the time of the potential Business Combination. At this time, the Company is not party to any arrangement or understanding with any third party with respect to raising additional funds through the sale of the securities or the incurrence of debt. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.

Nasdaq rules require that the initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding advisory fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. If the board is not able to independently determine the fair market value of the target business or businesses, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or an independent accounting firm with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. The Company does not intend to purchase multiple businesses in unrelated industries in connection with the initial Business Combination.

The Company will provide its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely at its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations plus additional deposits to extend the Combination Period).

Related to the redemption of the Company’s public shares, the Company’s has no limitation on its net tangible assets either immediately before or after the consummation of the Business Combination. Redemptions of the Company’s public shares may be subject to a net tangible asset test or cash requirement pursuant to an agreement relating to a Business Combination. For example, the Business Combination may require: (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash to be transferred to the target for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination. In the event the aggregate cash consideration the Company would be required to pay for all shares of common stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to the Company, it will not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, and all shares of common stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.

The Sponsor, officers and directors and Representative (as defined in Note 6) have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below) and Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The Company’s Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.95 per Public Share (subject to increase of up to an additional $16,237 per month in the event that the Sponsors elects to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination as set forth in the September 2024 Extension Amendment) and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.95 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked its Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether its Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Company’s Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that its Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations.

On May 10, 2023, the Company engaged a law firm to assist with the proposed Business Combination with Evie Group (discussed below). The Company paid $30,000 upon entering into the agreement, $70,000 upon Evie Group signing a definitive Business Combination agreement and the remaining $500,000 was contingent upon the closing of the Business Combination with Evie Group. Per termination of the proposed Business Combination with Evie Group, for a reason, the specific engagement of the law firm for this task been canceled.

In October 2024, the Company deposited $16,237 in the Trust Account and extended the Deadline Date to November 14, 2024.

Proposed Business Combination – Evie Group (Terminated)

On June 23, 2023, the Company, Evie Autonomous Group Ltd (“Evie Group”), and the shareholder of the Evie Group (“Evie Group Shareholder”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement” or “BCA”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent in the Business Combination Agreement, the following transactions will occur: the acquisition by Bannix of all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Evie Group from the Evie Group Shareholder in exchange for the issuance of eighty-five million new shares of common stock of Bannix, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to which Evie Group will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Bannix (the “Share Acquisition”).

Patent Purchase Agreement (Terminated)

On August 8, 2023 the Company entered into a Patent Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with GBT Tokenize Corp. (“Tokenize”), which is 50% owned by GBT Technologies Inc., which provided its consent, to acquire the entire rights, title, and interest of certain patents and patent applications providing an intellectual property basis for a machine learning driven technology that controls radio wave transmissions, analyzes their reflections data, and constructs 2D/3D images of stationary and in motion objects, (the “Patents”). The closing date of the PPA was planned to immediately follow the closing of the Transaction described in the proposed Business Combination Agreement. The Purchase Price was set at 5% of the consideration that the Company is paying to the shareholders of Evie Group under the Business Combination Agreement. The BCA sets the consideration to be paid by the Company at $850 million and, in turn, the consideration in the PPA to be paid to Tokenize is $42.5 million.

Sponsor Support Agreement (Terminated)

On August 7, 2023, Instant Fame entered into a sponsor letter agreement (“Sponsor Letter Agreement”) with the Company, whereby Instant Fame agreed to, among other things, support and vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and use its reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Transaction Support Agreement (Terminated)

On August 7, 2023, Evie Group entered into a transaction support agreement pursuant to which Evie Group’s shareholder agreed to, among other things, support and provide any necessary votes in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and ancillary agreements.

Termination

On March 11, 2024, the Bannix sent EVIE Group and the EVIE Group Shareholder a notice providing that the Business Combination Agreement has been terminated as a result of the failure of EVIE Group and the EVIE Group Shareholder to loan or procure a loan to Bannix as required pursuant to Section 5.21 of the Business Combination Agreement.

The Company is not obligated to pay any penalties pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement as a result of the termination. The Sponsor Letter Agreement entered between Bannix, Instant Fame LLC and EVIE Group dated August 7, 2023 and the Transaction Support Agreement between Bannix and the EVIE Group Shareholder dated August 7, 2023 automatically terminated as a result of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement.

As the PPA was contingent upon Bannix closing the acquisition of EVIE and due to the termination of the proposed Business Combination, Bannix and Tokenize agreed to terminate the PPA which was consented to by GBT.

Proposed Business Combination – VisionWave Technologies

As previously disclosed, on March 26, 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Original Agreement”), by and among Bannix, VisionWave Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Target”) 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 (“VisionWave”), 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. The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of Bannix, VisionWave, Parent Merger Sub, Company Merger Sub, and Target.

The Mergers

Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a) Parent Merger Sub will merge with and into Bannix, with Bannix continuing as the surviving entity (the “Parent Merger”), as a result of which, (i) Bannix will become a wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave, and (ii) each issued and outstanding security 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) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VisionWave (other than the Parent Rights, which shall be automatically converted into shares of VisionWave), and, (b) immediately following the consummation of the Parent Merger but on the same day, Company Merger Sub will merge 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 will become a wholly owned subsidiary of VisionWave, 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) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled in exchange for the issuance to the holder thereof of a substantially equivalent security of VisionWave. The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”

The Business Combination is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including the satisfaction of the minimum available cash condition, the receipt of certain governmental approvals and the required approval by the stockholders of Bannix and Target.

Consideration

Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Parent Merger Effective Time, (a) each share of Bannix common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Bannix Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Parent Merger Effective Time that has not been redeemed, is not owned by Bannix or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries as treasury shares and is not a Dissenting Parent Share will automatically convert into one share of common stock, par value $0.001, of VisionWave (each, a share of “VisionWave Common Stock”), (b) each Bannix Warrant shall automatically convert into one warrant to purchase shares of VisionWave Common Stock (each, a “VisionWave Warrant”) on substantially the same terms and conditions; and (c) each Bannix Right will be automatically converted into the number of shares of VisionWave 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 documents.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the Company Merger Effective Time, (a) each share of issued and outstanding Target common stock, par value $0.01 (“Target Common Stock”), shall be cancelled and converted into 4,041 shares of VisionWave Common Stock.

Governance

Subject to approval of shareholders, the parties have agreed to take actions such that, effective immediately after the Closing of the Business Combination, VisionWave’s board of directors shall consist of seven directors, consisting of Chuck Hansen, Eric T. Shuss, Douglas Davis, Noam Kenig, Danny Rittman, Erik Klinger and Yossi Attia. Additionally, certain current Target management personnel may become officers of VisionWave.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants

The Merger Agreement contains 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) VisionWave 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.

The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and are subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made the parties to the Merger Agreement which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Bannix does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

In addition, VisionWave has agreed to adopt an equity incentive plan, as described in the Merger Agreement.

Conditions to the Closing

The obligations of Bannix, VisionWave, Parent Merger Sub and Company Merger Sub (the “Bannix Parties”) and Target to consummate the Business Combination are subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the approval of Bannix’s stockholders, (ii) the approval of Target’s stockholders, and (iii) VisionWave’s Form S-4 registration statement becoming effective.

In addition, the obligations of the Bannix Parties to consummate the Business Combination are also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of Target being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of Target having been performed or complied with in all material respects, (ii) delivery of certain ancillary agreements required to be executed and delivered in connection with the Business Combination, and (iii) no Material Adverse Effect having occurred.

The obligation of Target to consummate the Business Combination is also subject to the fulfillment (or waiver) of other closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the representations and warranties of the Bannix Parties being true and correct to the standards applicable to such representations and warranties and each of the covenants of the Bannix Parties having been performed or complied with in all material respects and (ii) the shares of VisionWave Common Stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination being listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Termination Rights

The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of Bannix and Target, (ii) by Bannix, on the one hand, or Target, on the other hand, if there is any breach of the representations, warranties, covenant or agreement of the other party as set forth in the Merger Agreement, in each case, such that certain conditions to closing cannot be satisfied and the breach or breaches of such representations or warranties or the failure to perform such covenant or agreement, as applicable, are not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (iii) by either Bannix or Target if the Business Combination is not consummated by March 31, 2025 (which date may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties to the Merger Agreement), (iv) by either Bannix or Target if a meeting of Bannix’s stockholders is held to vote on proposals relating to the Business Combination and the stockholders do not approve the proposals, and (v) by Bannix if the Target stockholders do not approve the Merger Agreement.

Permitted Financings

The Merger Agreement contemplates that Target (a) may enter into agreements to raise capital in one or more private placement transactions prior to the Closing for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $20,000,000 or (b) consummate an initial sale of any shares of capital stock of Target in an underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act or any direct listing of any shares of capital stock of Target on a securities exchange or securities market (“Permitted Financings”).

A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Stockholder Support Agreement

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, within thirty (30) days following the execution of the Merger Agreement, Bannix, VisionWave, Target, and certain stockholders of Target representing the requisite votes necessary to approve the Merger Agreement (the “Target Equity Holders”) are expected to enter into a Stockholder Support Agreement pursuant to which the Target Equity Holders will: (a) agree to vote in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approve the Mergers and the other Transactions to which Target is a party; and (b) agree to waive any appraisal or similar rights they may have pursuant to Nevada law with respect to the Mergers and the other Transactions.

Nasdaq Notice

On September 13, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that, because the Company did not complete a Business Combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement, the Company’s securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2.

The letter further stated that unless the Company appeals Nasdaq’s determination by September 20, 2024, trading of the Company’s securities will be suspended at the opening of business on September 24, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC to remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

The Company appealed Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel, which will stay the suspension of trading of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision. The Company is preparing a compliance plan and will provide further details as they become available. The Company plans to present its views with respect to continued listing to the Hearings Panel at a hearing schedule to November 7, 2024. Throughout this process, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “BNIX”. There can be no assurance that the Hearings Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. As of the date of this filing, the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq has not made a determination regarding the suspension of trading of the Company’s securities.

Certificate of Correction to Certificate of Amendment

On February 8, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction to its Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Correction”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 9, 2023 (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment inadvertently removed the provisions relating to the Company’s obligation to wind up and liquidate the Company and redeem the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the specified time. The Certificate of Correction corrects this error to the Certificate of Amendment. The corrections made by the Certificate of Correction are retroactively effective as of March 9, 2023, the original filing date of the Certificate of Amendment.

As approved by its stockholders at the September 2024 Special Meeting, the Company filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State on September 10, 2024 (the “September 2024 Amendment”) to extend the date by which the Company must (1) complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (“Business Combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination, and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s common stock included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on September 14, 2021, from September 14, 2024, as extended, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to six (6) times by an additional one (1) month each time after September 14, 2024 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, if requested by the Company’s sponsor, Instant Fame, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline date, until March 14, 2025, or a total of up to six (6) months after September 14, 2024, unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment”).

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $271,833 in cash and a working capital deficit of $4,794,747.

The Company’s liquidity needs through September 30, 2024, were satisfied through (1) a capital contribution from the Sponsors of $28,750 for common stock (“Founder Shares”) and (2) loans from Former Sponsor and Sponsor and related parties in order to pay offering costs and other working capital needs. In addition, in order to fund transaction costs in connection with a possible Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, and/or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no loans associated with the Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owed $1,729,840 and $1,213,600 to the Former Sponsor, the Sponsor, related parties and affiliated related parties, respectively. See Note 5 for further disclosure of Former Sponsor, Sponsor, related parties and affiliated related parties loans.

As additional sources of funding, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to Evie Autonomous LTD 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 the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the date of the filing of this report. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations, the Company has until December 14, 2024 (as extended) to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by that time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company has determined that the insufficient funds to meet the operating needs of the Company through the liquidation date as well as the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As a cure for the Company’s going concern assessment, the Company has entered into a proposed Business Combination Agreement with VisionWave Technologies, Inc.

These factors raise doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. And in October 2023, the Hamas Terror Organization attacked the Southern part of Israel, which in turn, commenced a military action with Gaza Strip. As a result, these actions, and the possibility of escalating military actions, have created and are expected to create global economic consequences. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Consideration of Inflation Reduction Act Excise Tax

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. The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to this obligation. Any amount of such excise tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10% interest per annum and a 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.

As of the filing of the Form 10-Q, the Company has not filed its 2023 excise tax return and no amounts have been paid.

Investment Company Act 1940

Under the current rules and regulations of the SEC we are not deemed an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act; however, on March 30, 2022, the SEC proposed new rules (the “Proposed Rules”) relating, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The Proposed Rules provide a safe harbor for companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the Proposed Rules would require a company to file a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial Business Combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the SPAC’s registration statement for its IPO. The Company would then be required to complete its initial Business Combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of such registration statement. There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a SPAC, including this Company. Although the Company entered into a definitive Business Combination agreement within 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO, there is a risk that the Company may not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months of such date. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that the Company has been operating as an unregistered investment company. If the Company were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, the Company may be forced to abandon its efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate. If the Company is required to liquidate, the investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our stock and warrants following such a transaction.

The Investment Company Act defines an investment company as any issuer which (i) is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities; (ii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type, or has been engaged in such business and has any such certificate outstanding; or (iii) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total assets (exclusive of Government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. The Company has assessed its primary line of business and the value of its investment securities as compared to the value of total assets to determine whether the Company may be deemed an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in money market funds, there is a greater risk that the Company may be considered an unregistered investment company. As a result, the Company has switched all funds to cash, will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account after such time, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of our Company. Currently, the funds in the Trust Account are held in a demand deposit account and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the period presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2024.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period through December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on May 31, 2024. The balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 contained herein has been derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) VisionWave Holdings, Inc., (ii) BNIX Merger Sub, Inc., and (iii) BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

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 financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

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 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 our Private Placement Warrants. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 other than its investments held in the Trust Account.

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $21,833 and $0 deposits in excess of the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage, respectively. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

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 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.

Fair Value of Trust Account

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets in the Trust Account were held in a demand deposit account at a bank. These demand deposit accounts were accounted for at fair value.

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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include transactions with the Sponsor and affiliated parties on a net basis.

Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The Company accounted for the 7,306,000 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 and the Public Warrants met the criteria for equity treatment. Accordingly, the Company classified the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value upon issuance and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statements of operations.

Common Stock Subject to Redemption

The Company accounts for its Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity.

The Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with the accounting treatment for redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require Common Stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all shares of Common Stock subject to redemption have been classified outside of permanent equity.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Common Stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Common Stock are affected by charges against additional paid-in-capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

The Company recorded an increase in the redemption value because of earnings on the Trust Account and additional deposits that exceed amounts payable for taxes. While the Company may use earnings on the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, $588,127 and $357,010 has been withdrawn by the Company from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

On September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Common Stock subject to redemption reflected in the balance sheet is reconciled in the following table:


	Shares			Amount
December 31, 2022		6,900,000		$	70,973,384

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

For purposes of calculating diluted loss per common stock, the denominator includes both the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the number of common stock equivalents if the inclusion of such common stock equivalents is dilutive. Dilutive common stock equivalents potentially include shares and warrants using the treasury stock method.

As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, 7,306,000 warrants were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation since the exercise price of the warrants is greater than the average market price of the common stock. As a result, this would have been anti-dilutive and therefore net loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Reconciliation of loss per Share of Common Stock

Basic and diluted loss per share for common stock is calculated as follows:


	Three months ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Loss per share of common stock:
Net Loss	$	(154,697	)	$	(101,152	)	$	(336,020	)	$	(151,848	)

Weighted Average Shares of common stock		3,840,508			5,463,613			4,434,471			6,435,576
Basic and diluted loss per share	$	(0.04	)	$	(0.02	)	$	(0.08	)	$	(0.02	)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The Company’s effective tax rate was (118.6%) and (424.0%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and (38.1%) and 177.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to permanent differences related to Business Combination expenses and a gain on forgiven payables, and changes in the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to state taxes and changes in the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company has identified the United States and the State of Delaware as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

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.

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 financial statements.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company complies with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation regarding Founder Shares granted to directors and an officer of the Company. The acquired shares shall vest upon the Company consummating an initial Business Combination (the “Vesting Date”). The Founder Shares owned by the directors or officer (1) may not be sold or transferred, until one year after the consummation of a Business Combination, (2) not be entitled to redemption from the funds held in the Trust Account, or any liquidating distributions. The Company has until December 14, 2023 (as extended) to consummate a Business Combination, and if a Business Combination is not consummated, the Company will liquidate and the shares will become worthless.

The Founder Shares were issued on September 8, 2021, and the Founder Shares vest, not upon a fixed date, but upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. Since the approach in ASC 718 is to determine the fair value without regard to the vesting date, the Company has determined the valuation of the Founder Shares as of September 8, 2021. The valuation resulted in a fair value of $7.48 per share as of September 8, 2021, or an aggregate of $972,400 for the 130,000 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares were granted at no cost to the recipients. The excess fair value over the amount paid is $972,400, which is the amount of share-based compensation expense which the Company will recognize upon consummation of an initial business combination.

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On September 14, 2021, the Company consummated its IPO and sold 6,900,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which was inclusive of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $69,000,000. Each Unit that the Company sold had a price of $10.00 and consisted of one share of common stock, one warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one right. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Each warrant will become exercisable on the completion of the initial Business Combination and will expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Each right entitles the holder to buy one tenth of one share of common stock. The common stock, warrants and rights comprising the Units have begun separate trading. At the time that the common stock, warrants and rights comprising the Units began separate trading, holders will hold the separate securities and no longer hold Units (without any action needing to be taken by the holders), and the Units will no longer trade.

All of the shares of common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 Private Placement Units to the Former Sponsor in exchange for the cancellation of approximately $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them. Each Private Placement Unit consisted of one share of common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right.

NOTE 5 — PROMISSORY NOTE TO EVIE AUTONOMOUS LTD AND EVIE AUTONOMOUS GROUP LTD.

The Company’s unsecured Evie Autonomous Extension Notes bear no interest and are repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owes Evie Autonomous LTD $1,003,995 and $974,015, respectively, and reports this as promissory notes – Evie on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 6—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On October 20, 2022, pursuant to an SPA, the Sponsor acquired an aggregate of 385,000 shares of common stock of the Company from Bannix Management LLP, Balaji Venugopal Bhat, Nicholos Hellyer, Subbanarasimhaiah Arun, Vishant Vora and Suresh Yezhuvath and 90,000 private placement units from Suresh Yezhuvath (collectively, the “Sellers”) in a private transaction.

The Former Sponsor, Sponsor, Other Investors, Anchor Investors, directors and officer have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. The Company refers to such transfer restrictions as the “lock-up”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 2,524,000 non-redeemable shares outstanding owned or controlled by the Former Sponsor, Sponsor, Other Investors, Anchor Investors, directors and officers.

Working Capital Loans – Former Sponsor and Sponsor

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the loans. On September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no loans outstanding under the working capital loan program.

Commitment of Funds – Former Sponsor

Yezhuvath agreed to contribute to the Company of $225,000 as a capital contribution at the time of the Business Combination with the proceeds to be used to pay the deferred underwriters’ discount. Yezhuvath has agreed to forgive this amount without any additional securities being issued against it.

Due to Related Parties

The balance on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 in Due to Related Parties totaled $1,729,840 and $1,213,600, respectively, consists of the following transactions:

On December 13, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in favor of Instant Fame, in the principal amount of $690,000. In March and April 2023 the Company issued additional unsecured promissory notes to Instant Fame for $75,000 for each promissory note. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was $840,000 outstanding on these promissory notes and included in due to related parties on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In 2024, $15,000 was paid to an affiliate of a related party. The Company has a legal right of offset and as such, the net amount is reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The promissory notes, expenses paid by related party, and advances from related affiliated parties are non-interest bearing and repayable on the consummation of a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated the promissory notes and advances from affiliated related parties will not be repaid and all amounts owed hereunder will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of the Trust Account.

(2) Administrative Support Agreement

The Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of the management team, in the amount of $5,000 per month. Upon completion of the initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, it will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had incurred $15,000 and $45,000 pursuant to the agreement, respectively. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owed $183,333 and $138,333 for these administrative support fees and reports them in due to related party on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 7 — COMMITMENTS

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of related party loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of this offering. These holders will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company registers such securities for sale under the Securities Act. In addition, these holders will have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by the Company.

Underwriters Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $225,000 solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Additionally, 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 to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

The Company issued the underwriter (and/or its designees) (the “Representative”) 393,000 shares of Common Stock for $0.01 per share (the “Representative Shares”) upon the consummation of the IPO. The Company accounted for the estimated fair value ($2,861,000) of the Representative Shares as an offering cost of the IPO and allocated such cost against temporary equity for the amount allocated to the redeemable shares and to expense for the allocable portion relating to the warrant liability. These shares of Common Stock issued to the underwriter are subject to an agreement in which the underwriter has agreed (i) not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until the completion of the Business Combination. In addition, the underwriter (and/or its designees) has agreed (i) to waives its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if it fails to complete the Business Combination within the time specified in its certificate of incorporation. Accordingly, the fair value of such shares is included in stockholders’ equity. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Representative has not yet paid for these shares, and the amount owed of $3,930 is included in prepaid expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Excise Tax

In connection with the Company’s Special Meeting and Annual Meeting, stockholders holding an aggregate of 6,575,252 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $70,002,107 was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. As such, the Company has recorded a 1% excise tax liability in the amount of $700,021 on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. The liability does not impact the statements of operations and is offset against additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid-in capital is not available.

Other Investors

Other Investors were granted an aggregate of 16,668 Founder Shares at no costs from Suresh Yezhuvath in March 2021.

The Other Investors have not been granted any stockholder or other rights that are in addition to those granted to the Company’s other public stockholders. The Other Investors will have no rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares held by them. The Other Investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Common Stock underlying the Units they purchase at the IPO as the rights afforded to the Company’s other public stockholders.

Anchor Investors

The Anchor Investors entered into separate letter agreements with the Company and the Former Sponsor pursuant to which, subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Anchor Investors purchased, upon the closing of the IPO on September 14, 2021, 181,000 Private Placement Units and 762,500 Founder Shares on September 9, 2021 (“Anchor Shares” in the total).

The Anchor Investors have not been granted any stockholder or other rights that are in addition to those granted to the Company’s other public stockholders and purchased the Founder Shares for nominal consideration. Each Anchor Investor has agreed in its individually negotiated letter agreement entered into with the Company to vote its Anchor Shares to approve the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Anchor Investors will have no rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Anchor Shares held by them. The Anchor Investors will have the same rights to the funds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Common Stock underlying the Units they purchase at the IPO (excluding the Common Stock included in the Private Placement Units purchased) as the rights afforded to the Company’s other public stockholders.

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. However, we cannot predict the outcome or effect of any of the potential litigation, claims or disputes.

The Company is not subject to any litigation at the present time.

NOTE 8 — STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Preferred Stock— The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock— The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock with par value of $0.01 each. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 4,286,248 and 6,901,113 shares of Common Stock issued, respectively, and 2,524,000 shares of common stock outstanding, excluding 324,748 and 2,939,613 shares subject to possible redemption, respectively. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote.

Treasury Stock — On June 21, 2021 the Former Sponsor agreed to deliver the Company 1,437,500 shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Former Sponsors.

Rights — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in the Business Combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination, even if the holder of a right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with the Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its pre-Business Combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share of common stock underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive his, her or its additional share of common stock upon consummation of Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of the rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of shares of common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis.

NOTE 9 — WARRANT LIABILITY

The Company accounted for the 7,306,000 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, the Company classified the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants was estimated using a modified Black-Scholes model. The valuation models utilize inputs such as assumed share prices, volatility, discount factors and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such Private Warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period. The Public Warrants met the classification for equity treatment.

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed herein. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Common Stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Company’s Former Sponsor, Sponsors or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Company’s Former Sponsor, Sponsors or its affiliates, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of the initial Business Combination on the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Common Stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the Market Value, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described below under “Redemption of warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the Market Value.

The warrants will become 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 the Company’s initial Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Redemption of warrants

The Company may call the warrants for redemption (excluding the private warrants, and any warrants underlying Units issued to the Sponsors, initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of related party loans made to the Company), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

●	at any time while the warrants are exercisable,

●	upon not less than 30 days prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder,

●	if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations), for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders, and

●	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.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, the management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” If management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants.

If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on January 21, 2021 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On September 14, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 6,900,000 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock (the “Public Shares”), one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of our common stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the issuance of 406,000 private placement units (the “Private Placement Units”) as follows: we sold 181,000 Private Placement Units to certain investors for aggregate cash proceeds of $2,460,000 and issued an additional 225,000 private placement units to our Former Sponsor in exchange for the cancellation of $1,105,000 in loans and a promissory note due to them. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of our common stock, one redeemable warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of our common stock upon the consummation of our Business Combination. Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating our Business Combination.

Upon the closing of the initial public offering on September 14, 2021, a total of $69,690,000 of the net proceeds was deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of our public stockholders.

Recent Developments

The Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders on March 8, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the stockholder approved the filing of an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “Extension Amendment”), to extend the date (the “Extension”) by which the Company must (1) complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (an “initial Business Combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial Business Combination, and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s common stock (“common stock”) included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), from March 14, 2023, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis up to twelve (12) times by an additional one (1) month each time after March 14, 2023 or later extended deadline date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), if requested by Instant Fame upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline date, until March 14, 2024, or a total of up to twelve (12) months after March 14, 2023 (such date as extended, the “Deadline Date”), unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto. The stockholders also approved an amendment (the “Trust Amendment”) to the Company’s Investment Management Trust Agreement dated as of September 10, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”) by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) incorporating the terms as set forth in the Extension Amendment.

On March 8, 2024, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”), whereby the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State (the “March 2024 Amendment”), to extend the Deadline Date from March 14, 2024, as extended, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to six (6) times by an additional one (1) month each time after March 14, 2024 or later extended Deadline Date, by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors, if requested by the Company’s Sponsor, until September 14, 2024, or a total of up to six (6) months after March 14, 2024, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment”), and to remove the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the redemption limitation contained under Section 9.2(a) preventing the Company from closing a Business Combination if it would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets in order to expand the methods that the Company may employ so as not to become subject to the “penny stock” rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “NTA Amendment”).

In order to fund deposits required to allow for such extension, we obtained loans from Instant Fame, LLC and Evie Group evidenced by non-interest-bearing promissory notes that are payable upon the consummation of a business combination by us. If we fail to consummate a business combination, the outstanding debt under the promissory notes will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the trust account after paying all other fees and expenses of the Company.

If we have not completed our initial business combination by December 14, 2024, as extended, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Associated with the Special Meeting and Annual Meeting, and related redemptions, the company recognized an excise tax equal to 1% of the value of the redeeming shares or $700,021.

Additionally at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to remove from the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the redemption limitation contained under Section 9.2(a) preventing the Company from closing a Business Combination if it would have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (the “NTA Amendment”).

Proposed Business Combination – Evie Group (Terminated)

Patent Purchase Agreement

On March 11, 2024, the Company sent EVIE Group and the EVIE Group Shareholder a notice providing that the EVIE Agreement has been terminated as a result of the failure of EVIE Group and the EVIE Group Shareholder to loan or procure a loan to Bannix as required pursuant to Section 5.21 of the Business Combination Agreement.

As the PPA was contingent upon Bannix closing the acquisition of EVIE and due to the termination of the proposed EVIE Agreement, Bannix and Tokenize agreed to terminate the PPA which was consented to by GBT.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to September 30, 2024 was in preparation for our initial public offering and since the initial public offering, the search for and efforts towards a suitable business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination, at the earliest.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $154,697, which consisted of operating costs of $248,848 and provision for income taxes of $83,933 partially offset by interest income on the trust account of $178,084.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $336,020, which consisted of operating costs of $1,017,302, provision for income taxes of $92,759 and unrealized loss from the change in fair value of Private Warrant liability of $4,060 partially offset by interest income on the trust account of $744,351 and a gain on forgiven payables of $33,750.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $101,152, which consisted of operating costs of $394,213 and provision for income taxes of $81,847, partially offset by interest income on the trust account of $370,848 and a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $4,060.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net loss of $151,848, which consisted of operating costs of $1,197,866 and provision for income taxes of $348,105, offset by interest income on the trust account of $1,394,123.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $271,833 in cash and a working capital deficit of $4,794,747.

The Company’s liquidity needs through September 30, 2024, were satisfied through (1) a capital contribution from the Sponsors of $28,750 for common stock (“Founder Shares”) and (2) loans from Former Sponsor and Sponsor and related parties in order to pay offering costs and other working capital needs. In addition, in order to fund transaction costs in connection with a possible Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, and/or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no loans associated with the Working Capital Loans. As of September 30, 2024, the Company owed $1,729,840 and $1,213,600 to the Former Sponsor, the Sponsor related parties and affiliated related parties, respectively. See Note 5 for further disclosure of Former Sponsor, Sponsor and related party loans.

As additional sources of funding, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to Evie Autonomous LTD with a principal balance 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 the Company’s initial Business Combination, or (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate an initial Business Combination by the Deadline Date, the Evie Autonomous Extension Notes will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company may not have sufficient funds and borrowing capacity to meet its operating needs through the consummation of a Business Combination through the extended term of the Company which expires on September 14, 2024 (as extended). Over this time period, the Company will be utilizing the funds in the operating bank account to pay existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of the date of the filing of this report. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations, the Company has until September 14, 2024 (as extended) to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by that time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company has determined that the insufficient funds to meet the operating needs of the Company through the liquidation date as well as the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As a cure for the Company’s going concern assessment, the Company has entered into a proposed Business Combination Agreement with VisionWave Technologies, Inc.

These factors raise doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Fair Value of Warrant Liability

The Company accounted for the Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the IPO and private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision, the Private Warrants did not meet the criteria for equity treatment and were recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classified the Private Warrants as a liability at fair value and adjusts them to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the Private Warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. The Public Warrants are classified as equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on September 10, 2021, the holders of the founder shares, the private placement units and private placement units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the closing date of this offering requiring us to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriters Agreement

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $225,000 in the aggregate which will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts to be brought in by the sponsors solely in the event that we complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a business combination marketing fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the sale of Units in the initial public offering held in the trust account upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting of complex financial instruments, fair value measurements, prepaid expense, income and franchise taxes and legal and professional fees.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management team, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Material Weakness

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. In light of the SEC Staff Statement, the Company’s management reevaluated the terms of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (together, the “warrants”), and determined that the Public Warrants should be classified as a component of equity. Our Private Placement Warrants were correctly reported as a liability measured at fair value upon issuance, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in earnings each reporting period.

Additionally, management evaluated the impacts of the transfer of shares to Anchor Investors. The transfer of shares to the Anchor Investors were fair valued as of the grant date and that fair value was allocated to the offering costs of the Company.

Associated with the reclassification of the Public Warrants to equity and the valuation of the Anchor Investor shares, the allocation of offering costs was re-allocated.

Additionally, we had a misstatement in our prepaid expense, income and franchise taxes and legal fees.

As a result of these reevaluations, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for complex financial instruments and fair value measurements and the failure to properly design the financial closing and reporting process to record, review and monitor compliance with generally accepted accounting principles for transactions on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to remediate our material weakness, as more fully described above. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024. If we are unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

As described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s accounting and reporting of complex financial instruments. As a result of this material weakness, our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024. See Part I. Item 4. Controls and Procedures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have taken measures to remediate the material weaknesses described herein. However, if we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. The existence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares. We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. Even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

Changes in laws or regulations or how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws or regulations, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. We will be required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and results of operations.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs (defined below) and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. These rules, if adopted, whether in the form proposed or in a revised form, may increase the costs of and the time needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete an initial business combination.

We may be subject to the 1% excise tax instituted under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in connection with redemptions we conduct after December 31, 2022.

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 new U.S. federal 1% 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. 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. Any redemption or other repurchase we conduct 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 we 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 us 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 or otherwise inhibit our ability to complete a Business Combination.
