The Company

Ondas Holdings Inc. (“Ondas Holdings”, “Ondas”, the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) was originally incorporated in Nevada on December 22, 2014, under the name of Zev Ventures Incorporated. On September 28, 2018, we acquired Ondas Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ondas Networks”), changed our name to Ondas Holdings Inc., and Ondas Networks, became the sole focus and wholly owned subsidiary. On August 5, 2021, Ondas Holdings Inc. acquired American Robotics, Inc. (“American Robotics” or “AR”), a Delaware Corporation. The two wholly owned subsidiaries are now Ondas’ primary focus. Ondas’ corporate headquarters are located in Nantucket, MA. Ondas Networks has offices and facilities in Sunnyvale, California, and American Robotics’ offices and facilities are located in Waltham, Massachusetts and Marlborough, Massachusetts.

Ondas is a leading provider of private wireless, drone and automated data solutions through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Ondas Networks and American Robotics. Ondas Networks originally incorporated in Delaware on February 16, 2006, under the name Full Spectrum Inc. and subsequently changed its name to Ondas Networks Inc. on August 10, 2018. Ondas Networks is a developer of proprietary, software-based wireless broadband technology for large established and emerging industrial markets. Ondas Networks’ standards-based (802.16s), multi-patented, software-defined radio FullMAX platform enables Mission Critical IoT (MC-IoT) applications by overcoming the bandwidth limitations of today’s legacy private licensed wireless networks. Ondas Networks’ customer end markets include railroads, utilities, oil and gas, transportation, aviation (including drone operators), and government entities whose demands span a wide range of mission-critical applications. American Robotics originally incorporated in Delaware on October 13, 2016. American Robotics designs, develops and markets industrial drone solutions for rugged, real-world environments. AR’s Scout System is a highly automated, AI-powered drone system capable of continuous, remote operation and is marketed as a “drone-in-a-box” turnkey data solution service under a Robot-as-a-Service (RAAS) business model. The Scout System is the first drone system approved by the FAA for automated operation beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) without a human operator on-site. Ondas Networks and American Robotics together provide users in rail, agriculture, utilities and critical infrastructure markets with improved connectivity and data collection capabilities. Ondas Holdings coordinates activity between the two companies to help ensure efficiencies are realized in business administration, customer marketing activity, product development and manufacturing.

Ondas has a third wholly owned subsidiary, FS Partners (Cayman) Limited, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“FS Partners) and one majority owned subsidiary, Full Spectrum Holding Limited, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“FS Holding”), which owned 100% of Ondas Network Limited, organized in Chengdu Province, China. FS Partners and Ondas Network Limited were both formed for the purpose of operating in China. As of December 31, 2019, we revised our business strategy, and discontinued all operations in China. On June 2, 2020, Ondas Network Limited was deregistered by the authority of the Chengdu High-Tech Zone, Market Supervision Administration. Both FS Partners and FS Holdings had no operations during 2020 and 2021, and we are in the process of dissolving them and expect the process to be completed by the end of 2021.

Business Activity

Ondas is a leading provider of private wireless, drone and automated data solutions through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Ondas Networks and American Robotics. Ondas manages these two subsidiaries as separate business segments.

Ondas Networks provides wireless connectivity solutions enabling mission-critical Industrial Internet applications and services. We refer to these applications as the Mission Critical Internet of Things (“MC-IoT”). The Company’s wireless networking products are applicable to a wide range of MC-IoT applications which are most often located at the very edge of large industrial networks. We design, develop, manufacture, sell and support FullMAX, our patented, Software Defined Radio (“SDR”) platform for secure, licensed, private, wide-area broadband networks. Our customers install FullMAX systems in order to upgrade and expand their legacy wide-area network (“WAN”) infrastructure. Our MC-IoT intellectual property has been adopted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (“IEEE”), the leading worldwide standards body in data networking protocols, and forms the core of the IEEE 802.16s standard.

Ondas Networks sells its products and services globally through a direct sales force and value-added sales partners including its strategic partner, Siemens Mobility, to critical infrastructure providers including major rail operators, commercial and industrial drone operators, electric and gas utilities, water and wastewater utilities, oil and gas producers and pipeline operators, and for other critical infrastructure applications in areas such as homeland security and defense, and transportation. 

American Robotics designs, develops, and markets industrial drone solutions for rugged, real-world environments. AR’s Scout System is a highly automated, AI-powered drone system capable of continuous, remote operation and is marketed as a “drone-in-a-box” turnkey data solution service under a Robot-as-a-Service (RAAS) business model. The Scout System is the first drone system approved by the FAA for automated operation beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) without a human operator on-site.

American Robotics sells its products and services nationally through a direct sales force to large enterprises that operate in the agriculture, industrial and critical infrastructure verticals that include major rail operators, electric and gas utilities, oil and gas producers, large agricultural input manufacturers, large agricultural coops, and for other critical infrastructure applications in areas such as homeland security and defense, and transportation.

Liquidity

We have incurred losses since inception and have funded our operations primarily through debt and the sale of capital stock. As of September 30, 2021, we had a stockholders’ equity of approximately $114,931,000, net short-term and long-term borrowings outstanding of approximately $0 and $300,000, respectively, and cash of approximately $47,497,000.

In December 2020, the Company completed a registered public offering of its common stock, generating net proceeds of approximately $31,254,000. In June 2021, the Company completed another registered public offering of its common stock, generating net proceeds of approximately $47,523,569. We believe the funds raised in the December 2020 and June 2021 equity offerings, in addition to growth in revenue expected as the Company executes its business plan, will fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements.

Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including progress with developing, manufacturing and marketing our technologies, the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other proprietary rights, our ability to establish collaborative arrangements, marketing activities and competing technological and market developments, including regulatory changes and overall economic conditions in our target markets. Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability requires us to successfully market and secure purchase orders for our products from customers currently identified in our sales pipeline as well as new customers. We also will be required to efficiently manufacture and deliver equipment on those purchase orders. These activities, including our planned research and development efforts, will require significant uses of working capital. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenue and cash as expected in our current business plan. We may seek additional funds through equity or debt offerings and/or borrowings under additional notes payable, lines of credit or other sources. We do not know whether additional financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms or at all, when needed. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on commercially acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, support the growth of our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures could be significantly delayed or limited, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions, or results of operations. 

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was identified and has resulted in increased travel restrictions, business disruptions and emergency quarantine measures across the world including the United States.

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations were impacted from the COVID-19 pandemic for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 as follows:

In the first quarter of 2020, we reduced our business activity to critical operations only, and furloughed 80% of our workforce. Per orders issued by the Health Officer of the County of Santa Clara, our corporate offices and facilities were closed, except for functions related to the support of remote workers and product support related to the essential transportation sector. On May 13, 2020, we reopened our offices and facilities and as of December 31, 2020 we had no employees remaining on furlough. Of the 18 employees previously furloughed, 14 are currently employed by us.

The Company expects its business, financial condition and results of operations will be impacted from the COVID-19 pandemic during 2021, primarily due to the slowdown of customer activity during 2020 and 2021, ongoing supply chain constraints for certain critical parts, and difficulties in attracting employees. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and remains an unknown risk for the foreseeable future. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and its variants. As a result, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the full extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on its future business, financial conditions, and results of operations. In addition, if the Company were to experience any new impact to its operations or incur additional unanticipated costs and expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, such operational delays and unanticipated costs and expenses could further adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations during 2021.

Other current assets consist of the following:

On April 22, 2021, Ondas made a loan to American Robotics in the aggregate amount of $2.0 million. The note carried interest at a rate of 2% per annum.

We account for acquisitions in accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), and goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). For business combinations, the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination is recorded as goodwill. On May 17, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Drone Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), Drone Merger Sub II Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”), American Robotics, and Reese Mozer, solely in his capacity as the representative of American Robotics’ Stockholders (as defined in the Agreement).

On August 5, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock, including shares of common stock underlying Warrants (as defined below), in connection with the acquisition of American Robotics.

On the Closing Date, American Robotics merged with and into Merger Sub I (“Merger I”), with American Robotics continuing as the surviving entity, and American Robotics then subsequently and immediately merged with and into Merger Sub II (“Merger II” and, together with Merger I, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving entity and as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Simultaneously with Merger II, Merger Sub II was renamed American Robotics, Inc.

Pursuant to the Agreement, American Robotics stockholders and certain service providers received (i) cash consideration in an amount equal to $7,500,000, less certain indebtedness, transaction expenses and other expense amounts as described in the Agreement; (ii) 6,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (inclusive of 26 fractional shares paid in cash as set forth in the Agreement); (iii) warrants exercisable for 1,875,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) (inclusive of 24 fractional shares paid in cash and the equivalent of Warrants for 309,320 shares representing the value of options exercisable for 211,038 shares issued under the Company’s incentive stock plan and reducing the aggregate amount of Warrants as set forth in the Agreement); and (iv) the cash release from the PPP Loan Escrow Amount (as defined in the Agreement). Each of the Warrants entitle the holder to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.89. Each of the Warrants shall be exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and shall have a term of ten years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred approximately $1,640,000 in transaction costs for legal and other professional fees and expenses, which are included in General and administration operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Also on the Closing Date, the Company entered into employment agreements and issued 1,375,000 restricted stock units under the Company’s incentive stock plan to key members of American Robotics’ management.

Lock-Up and Registration Rights Agreement

On May 17, 2021, the Company entered into a lock-up and registration rights agreement, by and among the Company and the directors and officers of American Robotics (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (i) the Company agreed to file a resale registration statement for the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) no later than 90 days following the closing of the Mergers, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause it to become effective as promptly as practicable following such filing, (ii) the directors and officers and other American Robotics stockholders who sign a joinder to such agreement were granted certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the closing of the Mergers, and (iii) the directors and officers of American Robotics agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to sell, transfer or dispose of an aggregate of 2,583,826 shares of Company common stock for a period of 180 days from the closing of the Mergers. In connection with the Mergers, the stockholders of American Robotics entered into a Joinder to Lock-Up and Registration Rights Agreement.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for American Robotics and the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

The intangible assets acquired include the trademarks, FAA waiver, developed technology, non-compete agreements, and customer relationships (See Note 7). A deferred tax liability was recorded for the deferred tax impact of purchase accounting adjustments related to finite-lived intangible assets at American Robotics effective tax rate of 27%. The purchase price allocations are preliminary pending receipt of final valuation analysis of certain assets and liabilities from our valuation advisors. The goodwill represents the assembled workforce, acquired capabilities, and future economic benefits resulting from the acquisition. The majority of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 include results from American Robotics between August 6, 2021 and September 30, 2021. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the Company’s results of operations as if the acquisition of American Robotics had occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2021. The pro forma results do not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations actually would have been if the transactions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented or what the Company’s operating results will be in future periods.

The components of intangible assets, all of which are finite lived, were as follows:

Preliminary estimated intangible assets are being amortized over preliminary estimated useful lives of between one and ten years and subject to revision when the purchase price allocation for American Robotics, Inc, acquisition is complete.

Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $662,622 and $640, respectively. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $682,239 and $13,152, respectively.

Estimated amortization expense for the next five years for the intangible costs currently being amortized is as follows:

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following:

Steward Capital Holdings LP

On March 9, 2018, we entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Agreement”) with Steward Capital Holdings LP (the “Steward Capital”) wherein Steward Capital made available to us a loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $10,000,000 (the “Loan”). On March 9, 2018, the Company and Steward Capital, pursuant to the Agreement, entered into a Secured Term Promissory Note for $5,000,000, having a maturity date of September 9, 2019 (“Tranche A”). The Note bore interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) 11.25% or (b) 11.25% plus the Prime Rate, less 3.25%. The Agreement also included payments of $25,000 in loan commitment fees and $100,000 (1%) of the funding in loan facility charges. The loan commitment fees and $50,000 in loan facility charges associated with Tranche A were recorded as debt discount and amortized over the life of the Loan. There was also an end of term charge of $250,000. The end of term charge was being recorded as accreted costs over the term of the Loan. The Note was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

On October 9, 2018, the Company and Steward Capital, pursuant to the Agreement, entered into a second Secured Term Promissory Note for $5,000,000 having a maturity date of April 9, 2020 (the “Second Note”) to complete the Agreement for $10,000,000. The Second Note bore interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) 11.25% or (b) 11.25% plus the Prime Rate, less 3.25%. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company was required to pay a $50,000 loan facility charge.

On June 18, 2019, the Company and Steward Capital entered into a letter of agreement to amend the Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to (i) extend and amend the maturity date, as defined in Section 1.1 of the Agreement, to read in its entirety “means September 9, 2020” (the “Maturity Date”); (ii) waive the repayment requirement to Steward Capital under Section 2.3 of the Agreement, in connection with the then proposed public offering of the Company as described in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, originally filed on April 12, 2019, and (iii) waive the restriction by Steward Capital on the prepayment of Indebtedness under Section 7.4 of the Agreement. In connection with the waivers, extension and amendment, the Company agreed to pay to Steward Capital, upon the earlier of (a) the completion of the public offering as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Agreement and (b) ten (10) days following the Company’s receipt of Steward’s written demand therefor, a fee equal to three percent (3%) of the current outstanding principal balance of the Loan (as defined in the Agreement). The Company concluded that the modifications created by the First Amendment resulted in a troubled debt restructuring under Accounting Standard Codification—Debt (Topic 470) as it was determined that a concession was granted by Steward Capital. However, as the future payments to be made subsequent to the modification were greater than the carrying value at the time of the modification, no gain or loss was required to be recognized on the troubled debt restructuring. As the difference between the effective interest rate method and the straight-line method was deemed immaterial, the Company continued to amortize the deferred loan costs using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the Loan.

On October 28, 2019, the Company and Steward Capital entered into a letter of agreement to amend the Agreement, as amended (the “Second Amendment”) wherein the parties agreed to (i) extend and amend the due date for all accrued and unpaid interest starting September 2, 2019 to the Maturity Date and (ii) extend and amend the due date for the 3% fee payable to Steward Capital in connection with the First Amendment and waiver dated June 2019 to be payable on the Maturity Date. In connection with the extensions and amendments, the Company issued Steward Capital 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $300,000 on December 15, 2019. The value was recorded as debt discount and amortized over the life of the Loan. The Company concluded that the modifications created by the Second Amendment resulted in a troubled debt restructuring under Accounting Standard Codification—Debt (Topic 470) as it was determined that a concession was granted by Steward Capital. However, as the future payments to be made subsequent to the modification were greater than the carrying value at the time of the modification, no gain or loss was required to be recognized on the troubled debt restructuring. As the difference between the effective interest rate method and the straight-line method was deemed immaterial, the Company continued to amortize the deferred loan costs using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the Loan.

On September 4, 2020, the Company and Steward Capital entered into the Second Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to (i) extend the Maturity Date to September 9, 2021 (the “Extended Maturity Date”) and convert all accrued interest into the note, resulting in a new principal balance of $11,254,236, (ii) make all accrued and unpaid interest from September 9, 2020 through the date of maturity due on the Extended Maturity Date, (iii) on or before October 1, 2020, Company was to issue 40,000 shares of Company’s stock to Steward valued at $9.75 per share, or total of $390,000 (issued on September 30, 2020) and (iv) make the fee of 3% of the outstanding principal balance of the loan, or $300,000 (as defined in the First Amendment) due at the updated maturity date of September 9, 2021. The Company concluded that the modifications created by the Second Amendment resulted in a troubled debt restructuring under Accounting Standard Codification—Debt (Topic 470) as it was determined that a concession was granted by Steward Capital. However, as the future payments to be made subsequent to the modification were greater than the carrying value at the time of the modification, no gain or loss was required to be recognized on the troubled debt restructuring.

On April 14, 2021, the Company requested Steward Capital’s waiver of Section 7 (Covenants of Borrower), in connection with the acquisition of American Robotics, Inc (“American Robotics”). In connection with the waiver, the Company agreed to, upon consummation of the proposed acquisition, pay Steward Capital an additional $280,000, and upon the consummation of the proposed acquisition, Steward and the Company would amend the Agreement to modify the defined term “collateral” to include the intellectual property of American Robotics; however, the Company made a final payment to Steward Capital before closing of the acquisition.   

On December 9, 2020, the Company made a $5,000,000 payment to Steward Capital, applying $4,679,958 to principal and $320,042 to accrued interest. On December 31, 2020, the principal balance was $7,003,568, net of debt discount of $120,711 and accreted cost of $550,000. On June 25, 2021, the Company made a final payment of $7,044,750 to Steward Capital, applying $6,574,278 to principal, $404,729 in interest and other fees, and $65,743 in early payment penalties. On September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued interest was $0 and $44,579, respectively, and included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the balance sheet in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $0 and $426,448, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $338,415 and $937,165, respectively.

Convertible Promissory Notes

On September 14, 2017, the Company and an individual entered into a convertible promissory note with unilateral conversion preferences by the individual (the “Convertible Promissory Note”). On July 11, 2018, the Company’s Board approved certain changes to the Convertible Promissory Note wherein the conversion feature was changed from unilateral to mutual between the individual and the Company. 

On both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total outstanding balance of the Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) was $300,000. The maturity date of the Note is based on the payment of 0.6% of quarterly gross revenue until 1.5 times the amount of the Note is paid. Accrued interest as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $40,607 and $36,329, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $3,750 and $11,250, respectively. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $11,250 and $33,750, respectively.

On September 27, 2019, the holder of the Note was granted a warrant to purchase 46,893 shares of common stock of the Company. The fair value of this warrant was recorded as financing costs in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On May 4, 2020, the Company applied for a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The loan, in the principal amount of $666,091 (the “PPP Loan”), was disbursed by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Lender”) on May 6, 2020, pursuant to a Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note and Agreement (the “Note and Agreement”).

The program was later amended by the Paycheck Protection Flexibility Act of 2020 whereby debtors were granted a minimum maturity date of the five-year anniversary of the funding date and a deferral of ten months from the end of the covered period. The PPP Loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), will commence after the sixteen-month anniversary of the funding date. The Company did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the PPP Loan, nor did the Company pay any facility charge to obtain the PPP Loan. The Note and Agreement provides for customary events of default, including those relating to failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and material adverse effects. The Company may prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment charges.

All or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the SBA upon application to the Lender by the Company within 10 months after the last day of the covered period. The Lender will have 90 days to review borrower’s forgiveness application and the SBA will have an additional 60 days to review the Lender’s decision as to whether the borrower’s loan may be forgiven. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, and covered utilities, and certain covered mortgage interest payments during the twenty-four-week period beginning on the date of the first disbursement of the PPP Loan. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee earning more than $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. On May 4, 2021, the Company submitted an application to the lender with supporting detail requesting forgiveness of the loan. On May 26, 2021, the Company received full forgiveness for both the principal and accrued interest, which is included in other income on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Preferred Stock

On September 30, 2021, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001, authorized, of which 5,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) and 5,000,000 shares are non-designated (“blank check”) shares. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no preferred stock outstanding.

Certificate of Designation Series A Preferred Stock

On August 14, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the State of Nevada to designate 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock as Series A Preferred. Shares of Series A Preferred rank pari passu with the Company’s common stock, except that holders of Series A Preferred shall have certain liquidation preferences as set forth in the Certificate of Designation and the holders of the Series A Preferred are not entitled to vote on any matters presented to the stockholder of the Company. The Certificate of Designation became effective on the Closing Date.

The Series A Preferred is convertible at a holder’s election any time beginning nine months from the 2020 Closing into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price equal to the Purchase Price, subject to certain adjustments described below, so that, initially, each share of Series A Preferred shall be convertible into one (1) share of the Company’s common stock. Also, the Series A Preferred will be automatically converted into the Company’s common stock (a “Mandatory Conversion”), at the then applicable conversion price, in the event of an equity offering of shares of the Company’s common stock resulting in the Company uplisting to a national securities exchange (provided that if the per share offering price in such offering is less than the then applicable conversion price for the Series A Preferred, the Series A Preferred will automatically convert based on the offering price in such offering).

In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, or stock combination, the number of shares deliverable and the conversion price of the Series A Preferred will be appropriately adjusted. In the event a Mandatory Conversion is triggered, if the offering price on the date such Mandatory Conversion is triggered is less than a 25% premium to $6.00, the Company will issue additional shares of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred to ensure the effective conversion price equals a 25% discount to $6.00.

Also, for a period of one year from the date of the Purchase Agreements, if the Company undertakes an underwritten public equity offering, the holders of Series A Preferred will enter into a lock-up agreement with respect to the sale of the Series A Preferred and the Company’s common stock underlying such Series A Preferred as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the Company’s underwriter for such public equity offering.

In connection with the closing of the Offering on December 8, 2020, the Company’s outstanding 2,350,390 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock mandatorily converted into an aggregate of 979,361 shares of Common Stock, which includes an aggregate of 195,881 shares of Common Stock in connection with the 25% premium discussed above. Additionally, the Company issued an aggregate of 15,093 shares of Common Stock in lieu of declaring a dividend on shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the conversion were issued in reliance upon the exemption set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, for securities exchanged by the Company and existing security holders where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly by the Company for soliciting such exchange, and the shares of Common Stock issued in lieu of declaring a dividend were issued in reliance upon the exemption set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder in a transaction not involving a public offering.

Common Stock

On September 30, 2021, the Company had 116,666,667 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) authorized for issuance, of which 40,788,681 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

We use the Black-Sholes-Merton option model (the “Black-Scholes Model”) to determine the fair value of warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company (“Warrants”). The Black-Scholes Model is an acceptable model in accordance with the GAAP. The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average term of the Warrant.

The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the Warrants. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. Our estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available over a period equal to the expected life of the awards. We used the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of our stock price.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,565,656 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $7.89 per share as consideration in the acquisition of American Robotics.

As of September 30, 2021, we had Warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 3,307,521 shares of Common Stock with a weighted-average contractual remaining life of approximately 5.5 years, and exercise prices ranging from $0.03 to $9.75 per share, resulting in a weighted average exercise price of $8.53 per share.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, certain warrant holders exercised their right to purchase an aggregate of 131,271 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.75 totaling $1,279,892, all of which was received by the Company in January and March 2021.
