The Company generates revenue from hardware sales and the sale of licenses and subscriptions. The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when a corresponding performance obligation is satisfied. Most contracts with customers are to provide distinct products or services within a single contract. However, if a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling price.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true">The Company earns revenue from the sale of its VeeaHub® devices, licenses and subscriptions.

Revenue from non-refundable upfront payments is recognized when the license is transferred to the customer and the Company has no other performance obligations. Revenue for licenses delivered under a subscription model having terms between one and twelve-months are recognized over-time. Subscription revenue is generated through sales of monthly subscriptions. Customers pay in advance for the licenses and subscriptions. Revenue is initially deferred and is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable subscription period.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify">Revenue from hardware sales is recognized at a point-in-time, which is generally at the point in time when products have been shipped, right to payment has been obtained and risk of loss has been transferred. Certain of the Company’s product’s performance obligations include proprietary operating system software, which typically is not considered separately identifiable.

The write down for excess or obsolescence is charged to the provision for inventory, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The Loan accrues interest at a variable rate based on an index rate established by reference to the average 12-month trailing one-year US treasuries plus a spread of 1.80% per annum and a minimum floor rate of 1.5% per annum. Interest is payable monthly in cash. Private Veea was not required to provide collateral for the advances or comply with any covenants. The advances were secured by a lien on certain personal assets of the CEO. In consideration for the security provided by the CEO, Private Veea issued common stock warrants (the “Related Party Common Stock Warrants”) to NLabs, a principal shareholder of the Company and affiliate of Allen Salmasi (“NLabs”), in consideration for the CEO’s guaranteeing the advances. See Note 12 for further information. Following the acquisition of First Republic, the Loan was transferred to the Bank. There were $1.3 million of borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan was $14.0 million, and there is no availability to borrow additional funds. On January 5, 2026, the Company repaid the principal and interest and terminated the 2021 Revolving Loan Agreement. On January 5, 2026, the Company repaid the Loan in full by making a cash payment to the Bank of $14,076,218, representing the total outstanding principal and interest due as of such date. The Loan was repaid with the proceeds of a loan from NLabs. See Note 12 for further information regarding the NLabs loan.</span></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><b style="-keep: true">Convertible Notes Payable</b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><b style="-keep: true"><i>Business Combination Convertible Notes Payable</i></b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true"> </span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true">Simultaneously with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company and Private Veea issued convertible notes under note purchase agreements with certain accredited investors unaffiliated with the Company and Private Veea (each, an “Investor”) for the sale of unsecured subordinated convertible promissory notes (the “September 2024 Notes”) as part of a private placement offering of up to $15.0 million in purchase price for such September 2024 Notes in the aggregate (the “Financing Closing”). The Company received $1.45 million in proceeds from the issuance of its convertible promissory notes. In addition to a September 2024 Note, each Investor received, as a transfer from NLabs Inc., an affiliated of Allen Salmasi, our Chief Executive Officer (“NLabs”), immediately prior to the Financing Closing, a number of shares of Private Veea’s Series A Preferred Stock that upon the Closing became a number of registered shares of Common Stock equal to such Investors’ original principal note loan amount under their respective notes divided by $7.50 (the “Transferred Shares”). 2.0 million Transfer Shares were delivered to Investors at the Financing Closing.

On December 31, 2024, the Company and one of the Investors entered into a mutual Settlement and Release Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to terminate the Investor’s obligation to purchase a note in the Commitment Amount and provided for a mutual release of claims, in exchange for a payment to the Company of an aggregate amount of approximately $5.4 million, which amount includes payments previously made to the Company in respect of the Commitment Amount. As the Company received approximately $1.5 million of the total expected $15.0 million proceeds at the Financing Closing, a proportional amount (approximately $19.5 million) of the substantial discount was deferred and recorded as a deferred financing asset on the Company’s financial statements. At December 31, 2024, the deferred financing assets were reversed on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true"> </span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true">The Company and VeeaSystems are co-borrowers under each September 2024 Note (together, the “Borrowers”) and are jointly responsible for the obligations to each Investor thereunder.

If the Investor provided such notice or otherwise has any Transferred Shares subject to a Brokerage Transfer within 6 months after the Closing, a portion of the outstanding obligations under such Investor’s Note would automatically convert into a number of Conversion Shares equal to the number of Transferred Shares subject to such Brokerage Transfer, and the lock-up period for such Conversion Shares would be extended for an additional 6 months to 12 months after the Financing Closing.

The September 2024 Notes matured on March 13, 2026. The Company and the Investors are in discussions to, among other items, extend the maturity date. Non-payment at maturity is a default under the September 24 Notes; however, the Company has received no notices of default from any Investors, nor has any Investor commenced enforcement actions.</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true"> </span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true">The Company reviewed the conversion feature granted in the notes under ASC 815, “<i>Derivatives and Hedging</i>” (“ASC 815”), and concluded that the conversion price was based on a variable (enterprise value) that was not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option as defined under ASC 815-40 and is therefore considered a conversion option liability that should be bifurcated from the debt host.

Unvested Private Veea options did not accelerate nor vest on the consummation of the Business Combination.

Generally, stock options vest 25% on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and then quarterly thereafter for 12 quarters, or pursuant to another vesting schedule as approved by the Board and set forth in the option agreement. Stock options have a maximum term of ten years from the date of grant. The aggregate intrinsic value is the fair market value on the reporting date less the exercise price for each option. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For options granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, the weighted average estimated fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $0.49 and $1.49 per option, respectively.</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Nasdaq’s determination to grant the additional 180-day compliance period was in part based on, among other things, the Company meeting the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company having provided written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. Following Nasdaq’s approval of the extended compliance period, the Company intends to continue to actively monitor the minimum bid price requirement and, as appropriate, will consider available options to resolve any deficiencies and regain compliance, including by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary.</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true"> </span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true">In connection with the Company’s application to transfer its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market, to ensure the Company’s compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market, on March 30, 2026, the Company entered into separate conversion agreements with each of NLabs and 83^rd Street pursuant to which (i) NLabs agreed to convert (x) $16,876,400 principal and accrued interest of outstanding NLabs 2025 Notes into 168,764 shares of Series A Preferred and (y) $2,000,000 of the accrued rent owed to it in respect of the 164 East 83rd Street office lease into 20,000 shares of Series A Preferred and (i) 83^rd Street agreed to convert $2,323,600 of the accrued rent owed to it in respect of the 166 East 83rd Street office lease into 23,236 shares of Series A Under the terms of the conversion agreements, NLabs and 83^rd Street are each entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred.</span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true"> </span></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.25in; text-align: justify"><span style="-keep: true">Each share of Series A Preferred is entitled to vote on an as converted basis along with the Common Stock, and holders of Series A Preferred are entitled to receive dividends that are economically equivalent to any dividends declared with respect to the Common Stock.
