Our subsidiaries include BNIX Merger Sub, Inc. and BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc.
BNIX Merger Sub, Inc. ("Parent Merger Sub") was incorporated in Delaware on September 3, 2024, and the Company's registered office is at 108 W. 13th Street, Suite 100, City of Wilmington, Delaware. The Company was formed as a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company.

Recent Developments
Proposed Business Combination
On September 6, 2024, Bannix entered into a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Bannix, the Company, BNIX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Parent Merger Sub"), BNIX VW Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Company Merger Sub"), and VisionWave Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Target"). The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of Bannix, the Company, Parent Merger Sub, Company Merger Sub, and Target.
The Business Combination is expected to close before July 31, 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.
Board of Directors
On September 9, 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company approved Independent Director Agreements (each, an "Agreement") with Eric Shuss, Chuck Hansen, and Haggai Ravid, pursuant to which each will serve as an independent director of the Company.
Under the terms of each Agreement, the independent director will receive:
● | An annual cash retainer of $36,000, payable quarterly, and $10,000 per annum for serving as the audit committee chair, $5,000 for compensation committee chair and the governance committee chair; | |
● | Reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with Board service; and | |
● | An annual equity grant under the Company's 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") with a grant date fair value of $60,000, consisting of restricted stock vesting in full after one year of service. |
As a result of the above, the Company will issue 5,245 shares of common stock to Messrs Shuss, Hansen and Ravid for their service in 2025.
Further, as compensation for his service as a director prior to the Business Combination with Bannix Acquisition Corp. ("Bannix"), the Company entered into Compensation Agreements (each, a "Compensation Agreement") with Mr. Shuss and two other former directors who served as an independent director on the Board of Directors of Bannix from October 2022 until July 2025. Pursuant to the Compensation Agreement, effective as of September 9, 2025, Mr. Shuss will receive a one-time lump sum compensation of $150,000, payable in cash, fully vested shares of the Company's common stock issued under the Company's Plan, or a combination thereof, at Mr. Shuss' election. If shares are elected, the number of shares will be determined by dividing the elected portion by the closing price of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market immediately prior to the effective date of the Compensation Agreement. Mr. Shuss has elected to receive 6,556 shares of common stock using a closing price of $11.44 as of September 8, 2025. The shares will be fully vested upon issuance but subject to resale restrictions under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Payment or issuance will occur within 10 business days after the election (or default to cash if no election is made within 10 business days).
Financing
On September 11, 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (the "Investor"), pursuant to the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2025 (as may be amended, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the "SEPA"), between the Company and the Investor.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Investor advanced the second tranche of the Pre-Paid Advance in a principal amount of $2,000,000 (the "Second Pre-Paid Advance") on September 11, 2025, in connection with the issuance by the Company of a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the "Second Note"). The Investor waived the condition precedent set forth in the SEPA relating to the effectiveness of a registration statement for the Second Pre-Paid Advance. The purchase price for the Second Note is $1,880,000 (94% of the principal amount, reflecting a 6% discount).
In addition, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Investor agreed to fund an additional $2,000,000 in principal amount (the "Additional Advance") under the terms of a new convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the "New Note" and, together with the Second Note, the "Additional Notes") upon the effectiveness of the registration statement filed by the Company on August 29, 2025, in connection with the SEPA (the "Registration Statement"). The purchase price for the New Note will be $1,880,000 (94% of the principal amount, reflecting a 6% discount). The Company acknowledged in the Letter Agreement that it is not required to modify, amend, or supplement the existing Registration Statement to include any shares underlying the New Note, and, other than as may be set forth in the New Note, the Company is not obligated to file a new registration statement relating to such shares.
Terms of the Second Note
The Second Note has a maturity date of September 11, 2026 (as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate of 6%, which increases to 18% upon the occurrence of an event of default (for so long as such event remains uncured). Interest is calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
If an Amortization Event occurs (defined as a Floor Price Event, Exchange Cap Event, or Registration Event, as set forth in the Second Note), the Company must make monthly cash payments beginning on the 10th trading day after the Amortization Event Date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month until the entire outstanding principal amount is repaid. Each monthly payment equals the sum of (i) $750,000 of principal (or the outstanding principal if less), (ii) a 7% payment premium on such principal amount, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest. The obligation to make such payments ceases if the Amortization Event is cured.
The Company may, at its option, redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Second Note by providing written notice to the Investor, provided the VWAP of the common stock was less than the fixed conversion price on the notice date (unless otherwise agreed). The redemption amount includes the principal being redeemed, a 5% redemption premium, and accrued interest. The Investor has 10 trading days to elect to convert any portion of the Second Note before redemption.
The Second Note is convertible at any time into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), at the lower of (i) $10.00 per share (the "Fixed Price") or (ii) 93% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (the "Variable Price"), but not lower than the floor price of $1.00 per share (adjustable downwards to 20% of the average VWAP for the five trading days prior to the earlier of the Registration Statement effectiveness or the six-month anniversary of the SEPA date, or further reduced by the Company). The Fixed Price resets downwards on the 30-day anniversary of a merger transaction to the average VWAP for the five trading days prior. Conversions are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation and the Exchange Cap (19.99% of outstanding shares without stockholder approval).
Terms of the New Note
The New Note will have a maturity date of 12 months from its issuance date (as may be extended at the option of the Investor). Interest will accrue on the outstanding principal balance at an annual rate of 12%, which increases to 18% upon the occurrence of an event of default (for so long as such event remains uncured). Interest is calculated based on a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.
Beginning on the three-month anniversary of the issuance date and continuing monthly, the Company must repay $200,000 of principal (or the outstanding principal if less), plus a 7% payment premium and accrued interest (the "Installment Amount"). The Company may pay the Installment Amount in cash or by submitting Advance Notices under the SEPA (with proceeds offsetting the Installment Amount). Any Advance Notice while the New Note is outstanding is treated as repayment first.
The Company may, at its option, redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the New Note by providing written notice to the Investor, provided the VWAP of the Common Stock was less than the conversion price on the notice date (unless otherwise agreed). The redemption amount includes the principal being redeemed, a 5% redemption premium, and accrued interest. The Investor has 10 trading days to elect to convert any portion of the New Note before redemption.
The New Note is convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock at $12.00 per share, subject to adjustments for stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, and dilutive issuances below the conversion price (with certain exclusions). Conversions are subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company granted the Investor a right of first refusal for 12 months following September 11, 2025, with respect to any financing transaction involving the issuance or sale of securities (including debt, equity, equity-linked securities, notes, or debentures, but excluding ATM offerings at prevailing market prices). The Company must provide written notice of any such proposed transaction, and the Investor has 10 business days to elect to participate. If the Investor declines, the Company may proceed with a third party on terms no more beneficial than those offered to the Investor, within 60 days.
The New Note includes customary events of default, representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions. Upon an event of default, the Investor may accelerate the note or convert at the conversion price. The Company may not engage in variable rate transactions while the New Note is outstanding, subject to exceptions.
Close of Business Combination
On July 14, 2025, the Company closed on its proposed Business Combination and liquidated its Trust Account. In association with the liquidation of the Trust Account, stockholders redeeming their shares of common stock at the May 2025 Special Meeting were paid for their redeeming shares.
Consulting Agreement
On September 26, 2025, the Company finalized and entered into a Consulting Agreement (the "Agreement") with Crypto Treasury Management Group, LLC ("CTMG"), pursuant to which CTMG will provide advisory and strategic services to assist the Company in establishing a digital asset treasury reserve. The services include, among other things, developing a crypto treasury strategy, recommending custodians, designing staking protocols (if applicable), assisting with capital formation in collaboration with a licensed securities underwriter, and supporting regulatory and tax compliance efforts.
The Agreement has an initial term of two years, subject to earlier termination under certain conditions, including for convenience with 60 days' notice or for material breach. In consideration for the services, the Company has agreed to pay CTMG: (i) a retainer fee of $50,000 upon signing, which was pre-paid as an advance on September 24, 2025, with an additional $50,000 upon execution of binding definitive agreements related to the crypto treasury transaction; (ii) a success fee of 17 Bitcoin (or cash equivalent) upon successful deployment of at least $20 million into crypto assets for the Company's treasury; and (iii) 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock upon closing of the crypto treasury transaction, subject to SEC Rule 144 restrictions and inclusion in future registration statements where applicable. The Company will also reimburse CTMG for pre-approved reasonable expenses.
The Agreement contemplates a potential capital formation structure of up to $300 million, with allocations into crypto assets such as Bitcoin and Solana, subject to the Company's approval and market conditions; however, there can be no assurance that the transaction will close or that it will be consummated on the anticipated terms or at all. In the event this strategy is successfully implemented, which is not guaranteed and depends on various factors including management's ability to execute effectively, the Company has committed to staking a minimum of 70% of its crypto treasury assets for at least two years, although such implementation may face challenges or fail to achieve expected outcomes due to market volatility, regulatory changes, or other risks. CTMG will not act as a broker-dealer or engage in activities requiring such registration. The Company, in an effort to replace its current financing structure, intends to structure the transaction and use the non-staked portion as funding for its defense business and potentially leverage the stakeable portion for M&A activity in the defense arena, though these intentions are forward-looking and subject to uncertainties that could prevent or alter their realization.
The Agreement includes standard provisions regarding confidentiality, non-circumvention, independent contractor status, compliance with laws (including securities, AML/KYC, and tax regulations), warranties, indemnification, limitation of liability, and governing law (Delaware).
The proposed adoption of a crypto reserve strategy, including the establishment of a digital asset treasury as contemplated in the Agreement will only be implemented upon obtaining regulatory approval, if any, from relevant authorities, including compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. Additionally, the implementation of the crypto reserve strategy may require shareholder approval to the extent such approval is deemed necessary by the Company's board of directors or required by regulatory bodies. The Company will ensure all necessary approvals are obtained prior to the execution of the crypto reserve strategy and will provide further updates as required by law.
Results of Operations
The company was formed for the purpose of effectuating a business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our proposed business combination, at the earliest.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $60,253, which consisted of operating expenses.
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $63,253, which consisted of operating expenses.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern
The Company was formed for the purpose of consummating a business combination and is not anticipated to exist upon consummation of the Merger Agreement.
The parent company, Bannix, is within 12 months of its mandatory liquidation date as of June 30, 2025. In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations, the Company had a temporarily extended deadline date beyond the June 14, 2025 Deadline Date to consummate a Business Combination. The Company closed on its proposed Business Combination on July 14, 2025 alleviating the mandatory liquidation requirement.
Based on the foregoing, management believes that the funds the Company has available is sufficient to meet its operating needs through the consummation of a Business Combination through the temporarily extended Deadline Date. Over this time period, the Company will be utilizing the funds available to it to pay existing accounts payable and consummating the proposed Business Combination.
In connection with preparing the financial statements for the Three and Six months ended March 31, 2025, management evaluated whether there were conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no cash, a working capital deficit of $66,309 and no sources of funding other than funds that may be obtained from related parties.
Ordinarily, conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern relate to the entity's ability to meet its obligations as they become due.
The Company evaluated its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year from the date that the financial statements are issued by considering the following:
On April 8, 2025, with an effective date of March 31, 2025, Bannix, together with the Company, entered into a Funding Support Agreement with Stanley Hills, LLC ("Stanley Hills"), the principal shareholder of the VisionWave Technologies, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, Stanley Hills irrevocably and unconditionally committed to provide financial support to Bannix, sufficient to fund working capital needs for a period not less than twelve (12) months from the date of release/issuance of the financial statement.
The funding may be provided by Stanley Hills in the form of direct payments to third parties, advances or intercompany loans, or capital contributions, as mutually determined by the parties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any such advances will be non-interest bearing and repayable only at such time as determined by the applicable entity's Board of Directors, and only to the extent such repayment would not impair the Company's liquidity or ability to continue as a going concern. The agreement may not be terminated by Stanley Hills prior to the twelve-month period from the date of release of the financial statement.
Management has determined that the agreement with Stanley Hills and closing of the business combination elevated the risk about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance of the financial statements.
The merger closing triggered substantial, actionable, and committed below funding access:
• Investor A is actively pushing to draw $2 million immediately and has committed to a $50 million equity line.
• Investor B has offered the Company $2 million in $300K tranches, and is likewise eager for us to proceed post-closing.
• Investor C is to finalize their $18 million ELOC and a $5 million pre-paid advance.
Cash Flow Analysis
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $44,500. We had a net loss of $63,253. We benefited by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $18,753. Cash provided by financing activities was $44,500 which was proceeds from related parties.
Critical Accounting 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have determined there are no critical accounting estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued 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. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on October 1, 2024. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 has not had a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it.
The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued pronouncements to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
