Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial statements and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2025 and footnotes thereto filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on December 31, 2025.

 

All amounts referred to in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.

 

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of VisionWave Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (See Note 1). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

As of April 1, 2026, the Company consolidated VWave Boca JV, LLC, a joint venture that is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary. In determining this, the Company evaluated whether it has (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. (See Note 6 for further details).

  

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of each entity in the group is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in source currency and converted into the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction.

 

The Company translates the financial statements from the local (functional) currency into US Dollars using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 830-10, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830-10”). Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates. Expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the years presented. Translation gains and losses resulting from re-measurement from functional to reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of shareholders’ deficit.

 

Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss using the average exchange rates in effect during the period.

 

Segment Reporting

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

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

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 periods.

 

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 stock options, valuation of convertible notes, fair value of assets acquired including intangible assets, useful life of intangibles, valuation of warrants, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, recoverability of receivables and recoverability of deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

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. As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company had $4,108,462 and $1,774,899 deposits in excess of the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage, respectively. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

 

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

 

The Company evaluates whether acquired net assets should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, Company applies its judgment to determine whether the acquired net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired input, process, and the ability to create outputs.

 

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

 

Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. For contingent consideration that does not meet all the criteria for equity classification, such contingent consideration is required to be recorded at its initial fair value at the acquisition date, and on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of liability-classified contingent consideration are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change.

 

When the initial accounting for a business combination has not been finalized by the end of the reporting period in which the transaction occurs, the Company reports provisional amounts. Provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, which does not exceed one year from the acquisition date. These adjustments, or recognition of additional assets or liabilities, reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date.

 

The Company accounts for certain business combinations that meet the definition of a reverse merger (also referred to as a reverse recapitalization) in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and ASC 810, Consolidation. A reverse merger occurs when the legal acquirer is determined to be the accounting acquiree, and the legal acquiree is determined to be the accounting acquirer. Accordingly:

 

No goodwill or intangible assets are recorded

 

The transaction is treated as a capital transaction in substance

 

The accounting acquirer’s assets and liabilities are carried forward at their historical carrying amounts

 

The accounting acquiree’s net assets are recognized at fair value, if applicable

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents were $26,186 and $0 at June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

 

Investments

Investments

 

The Company from time to time invests in equity securities. All marketable equity securities held by the Company are accounted for under “Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” The Company accounts for available-for-sale equity investments at fair value. From time to time, if the Company determines that the available market price of an available for sale investments is not a reasonable indicator of the fair value, the Company will determine the best estimate of that fair value which is usually the cost.

 

Equity Method Investment

Equity Method Investment

 

The Company accounts for investments in entities in which the Company has significant influence over the entity’s financial and operating policies, but does not control, using the equity method of accounting. The equity method investment is initially recorded at cost and subsequently increased for capital contributions and allocations of net income and decreased for capital distributions and allocations of net loss. Equity in net income (loss) from the equity method investment is allocated based on the Company’s economic interest. The equity method investment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If it is determined that a loss in value of the equity method investment is other than temporary, an impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of an investment over its estimated fair value.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets, net of liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.

 

Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than it carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques and weights the results accordingly.

 

The Company is required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether goodwill may be impaired. These judgments include significant assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units, such as projected revenues and related growth rates, projected operating margins and operating cash flows, discount rates, and future economic and market conditions. The Company has elected to perform its annual goodwill impairment review on July 1 of each year, initially utilizing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

 

Other Intangible assets and amortization

Other Intangible assets and amortization

 

The Company recognizes intangible assets that arise from contractual or other legal rights or are otherwise separable. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination or asset acquisition are measured at their acquisition-date fair value. For intangible assets acquired in a group constituting an asset acquisition, the total cost is allocated to the individual assets based on their relative fair values.

 

Upon initial recognition, an intangible asset is assigned an estimated useful life, representing the period over which the asset is expected to generate future economic benefits. Subsequently, intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The resulting amortization expense is recognized within depreciation and amortization on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

The estimated useful life of used to determine amortization are as follows:

 

 
Customer relationships 5 years
Intellectual property 5 years

 

Capitalized intellectual property costs include those acquired in the asset acquisitions including a propriety drone system.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment and depreciation

Property, Plant and Equipment and depreciation

 

The value of property and equipment that were acquired as part of the Asset Acquisition (See Note 10) are recorded at a relative fair value assessed at the time of the acquisition less depreciation. Any additional property and equipment acquired, and any expenditures that extend the life of such assets are recorded at historical cost, including direct acquisition costs, less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

 

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

 

Depreciation for equipment and other assets is computed using the straight-line method at rates calculated to depreciate the cost of the assets, less their anticipated residual values, if any, over their estimated useful lives.

 

The estimated useful life of used to determine depreciation are as follows:

 

   
Computer and accessories 3 years
Drones 3 years
Furniture   14 years

 

An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets whenever a change in circumstances indicates that the net carrying value may not be recoverable from the entity-specific undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from our use of and eventual disposition of a long-lived asset or asset group. Events or circumstances that could trigger an impairment review of a long-lived asset or asset group include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant decrease in the market price of the asset, (ii) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner that the asset is used or in its physical condition, (iii) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset, (iv) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of original expectation for the acquisition or construction of the asset, (v) a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset and (vi) a more-likely-than-not expectation that the asset will be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. If an impairment exists, the net carrying values are reduced to fair values. The Company estimates the fair values of these long-lived assets by performing a discounted future cash flow analysis for the remaining useful life of the asset, or the remaining useful life of the primary asset in the case of an asset group. An individual asset within an asset group is not impaired below its estimated fair value. There were no impairments recorded for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash, current assets and current liabilities approximate 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.

 

As of June 30, 2026, other than the convertible notes discussed below, the Company did not hold any financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.

 

Convertible Notes Payable

Convertible Notes Payable

 

For convertible debt instruments that are not considered liabilities under ASC 480 or ASC 815, the Company applies FASB ASC 470, Debt (“ASC 470”), for the accounting of such instruments, including any premiums or discounts. Debt issuance costs consist primarily of original issue discount (OID) and legal fees. These costs are netted off with the related loan and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt facilities using effective interest method.

 

The Company may elect the fair value option for certain financial instruments that meet the required criteria under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. The Company elected the fair value option for its SEPA related convertible notes, which met the required criteria under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Issuance fees incurred on instruments for which the fair value option was elected are not deferred and are recognized as an expense when incurred in the consolidated statement of operations. The portion of the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, is recognized in other comprehensive income, with the remainder recognized in earnings.

 

Offsetting Balances

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 exists. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets include transactions with affiliated parties on a net basis.

 

Research and Development Cost

Research and Development Cost

 

The Company accounts for research and development cost (“R&D”) in accordance with ASC Topic 730, “Research and Development”. R&D represents costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock to the extent dilutive. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is equal to basic weighted-average shares, due to the Company’s net loss position. No common stock equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss per unit since such inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2026 and 2025, potentially dilutive securities include the public warrants, stock options and the convertible promissory notes.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, which cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations, shareholder lawsuits, and no income tax matters.

 

An accrual for a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed.

 

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the guidance in ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve the core principle, the Company applied the following five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment:

 

(1) Identify the contracts or agreements with a customer: The Company’s revenue is derived from the customer orders evidenced by invoices issued. Orders placed by customers constitute the Company’s contracts with customers.

 

(2) Identifying the performance obligations in the contract or agreement: The contract with the customer contains a single performance obligation: delivery of the service to the customer.

 

(3) Determine the transaction price: The Company requires a full prepayment from the customer at a fixed price per unit based on the terms of the invoice with the customer and before the shipment of products. The transaction price is the amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive.

 

(4) Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations: All transaction prices are allocated to the single performance obligation.

 

(5) Recognize revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied: This performance obligation is satisfied when the service is performed.

 

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.

 

Cost of Revenue

Cost of Revenue

 

The Company’s cost of revenue is comprised of costs related to its commercial revenue, including direct costs and indirect costs associated with the offering of its service.

 

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025. Interest and penalties related to Bannix Acquisition for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 were $24,627 and $73,854, respectively. There were no interest and penalties related to Bannix Acquisition for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

 

Accounts receivable represent unconditional rights to consideration arising from the Company’s provision of goods or services to customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and generally do not bear interest. The Company presents accounts receivable net of an allowance for credit losses.

 

The Company estimates expected credit losses in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses represents the Company’s estimate of credit losses expected over the contractual life of its accounts receivable. The estimate is based on relevant information available at each reporting date, including historical credit loss experience, the aging and composition of outstanding receivables, customer-specific credit information, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests

 

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of the equity of consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Noncontrolling interests are reported separately within stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets, except for redeemable noncontrolling interests that are required to be presented outside of permanent equity.

 

The carrying amount of noncontrolling interests is adjusted for the noncontrolling interest holders’ share of net income or loss, other comprehensive income or loss, capital contributions, distributions, and other changes in the equity of the consolidated entity. Net income or loss and each component of other comprehensive income or loss are attributed to the Company and the noncontrolling interests based on their respective economic interests, including applicable ownership percentages and any substantive contractual profit-and-loss allocation provisions. Losses are attributed to noncontrolling interests even when such attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance.

 

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary or VIE that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. No gain or loss is recognized in consolidated net income. The difference between the consideration paid or received and the adjustment to the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest is recognized directly in equity attributable to the Company.

 

If the Company ceases to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE or otherwise loses its controlling financial interest, the Company deconsolidates the entity. Upon deconsolidation, the Company derecognizes the former subsidiary’s assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests, recognizes any retained investment at fair value, and recognizes the resulting gain or loss in earnings.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), requiring additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the statements of operations. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the statements of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related 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.
