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 six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2025.

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, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. The balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 contained herein has been derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bannix (prior to the succession by Vision Wave Holdings) 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.

Segment Reporting

The Company complies with ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses among other disclosure requirements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

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

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Significant estimates include assumptions made in the valuation of 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, due to their short-term nature.

Fair value is defined as the price which would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Fair Value of Trust Account

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 on a recurring basis within Level 1 fair value hierarchy.

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 its 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 Possible 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 $94,099 and $422,094, respectively has been withdrawn by the Company from the Trust Account to pay its tax obligations.

At the May 2025 Special Meeting, stockholders redeemed 83,313 shares of the Company’s common stock for $972,722. As of June 30, 2025 the redeeming stockholders were not paid for the redeeming shares. The Company reports this amount as redemptions payable, a non-current liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as the settlement of this liability does not require the use of current assets to settle the liability

Prior to the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date, management of the Company, representing a majority of the Company’s stockholders, held a meeting with the trustee of the Trust Account to request the Trust Account not be liquidated due to the pending regulatory approval of the proposed Business Combination, discussed below. The trustee exercised administrative authority and agreed to the temporary extension of the Deadline Date pending a stockholder meeting. Before a stockholder meeting could be held to extend the Deadline Date, final regulatory approval was granted by Nasdaq and the Company closed on its proposed Business Combination and terminated the trust.

On June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the common stock subject to redemption reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:

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 June 30, 2025 and 2024, 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:

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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. The Company’s effective tax rate was (0.1)% and (6.1)% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and (0.8)% and (5.1)% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, due to state taxes, permanent differences related to Business Combination expenses, 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. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the company accrued $266,576 and $206,200 in interest and penalties for the non-payment of its income taxes. 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, the State of California, 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 June 14, 2025 (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.
