ONDAS HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

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”), and changed our name to Ondas Holdings Inc. On August 5, 2021, we acquired American Robotics, Inc. (“American Robotics” or “AR”), a Delaware corporation. On January 23, 2023, we acquired Airobotics, Ltd. (“Airobotics”), an Israeli-based developer of autonomous drone systems. See Note 5 – Goodwill and Business Acquisition. On December 6, 2023, the Company formed Ondas Autonomous Holdings Inc., a Nevada corporation, as an intermediate holding company which now wholly-owns American Robotics and Airobotics. On August 8, 2024, the Company filed a certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, amending Ondas Autonomous Holdings Inc.’s name to Ondas Autonomous Systems Inc. (“OAS”).

 

As a result, Ondas Networks, OAS, American Robotics and Airobotics became our subsidiaries. Ondas’ corporate headquarters are located in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Ondas Networks has offices and facilities in Sunnyvale, California, American Robotics’ offices and facilities are located in Sparks, Maryland and Marlborough, Massachusetts, and Airobotics’ offices and facilities are located in Petah Tikva, Israel.

 

Business Activity

 

Ondas is a leading provider of private wireless, drone, and automated data solutions through its subsidiaries Ondas Networks, OAS, Airobotics, and American Robotics. Ondas Networks provides wireless connectivity solutions. OAS provides drone and automated data solutions through its subsidiaries Airobotics and American Robotics. Ondas Networks and OAS together provide users in rail, energy, mining, public safety and critical infrastructure and government markets with improved connectivity, data collection capabilities, and data collection and information processing capabilities. We operate Ondas Networks and OAS as separate business segments, and the following is a discussion of each segment.

 

Ondas Networks

 

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”). Our 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. These applications require secure, real-time connectivity with the ability to process large amounts of data at the edge of large industrial networks. Such applications are required in all of the major critical infrastructure markets, including rail, electric grids, drones, oil and gas, and public safety, homeland security and government, where secure, reliable and fast operational decisions are required in order to improve efficiency and ensure a high degree of safety and security.

 

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 infrastructure. We have targeted the North American freight rail operators for the initial adoption of our FullMAX platform. These rail operators currently operate legacy communications systems utilizing serial-based narrowband wireless technologies for voice and data communications. These legacy wireless networks have limited data capacity and are unable to support the adoption of new, intelligent train control and management systems. 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 802.16 standard. Because standards-based communications solutions are preferred by our mission-critical customers and ecosystem partners, we continue to take a leadership position in IEEE as it relates to wireless networking for industrial markets. As such, management believes this standards-based approach supports the adoption of our technology across a burgeoning ecosystem of global partners and end markets.

Our software-based FullMAX platform is an important and timely upgrade solution for privately-owned and operated wireless wide-area networks, leveraging Internet Protocol-based communications to provide more reliability and data capacity for our mission-critical infrastructure customers. We believe industrial and critical infrastructure markets throughout the globe have reached an inflection point where legacy serial and analog based protocols and network transport systems no longer meet industry needs. In addition to offering enhanced data throughput, FullMAX is an intelligent networking platform enabling the adoption of sophisticated operating systems and equipment supporting next-generation MC-IoT applications over wide field areas. These new MC-IoT applications and related equipment require more processing power at the edge of large industrial networks and the efficient utilization of network capacity and scarce bandwidth resources which can be supported by the “Fog-computing” capability integrated in our end-to-end network platform. Fog-computing utilizes management software to enable edge compute processing and data and application prioritization in the field enabling our customers more reliable, real-time operating control of these new, intelligent MC-IoT equipment and applications at the edge.

 

Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS)

 

Our OAS business unit develops and integrates drone-based solutions focusing on high-performance critical applications for government and Tier-1 commercial enterprises. Ondas is marketing comprehensive drone-based solutions to address the needs of governmental and commercial customers based on its commercially available platforms: the Optimus System™, a fully autonomous drone platform capable of continuous and multipurpose aerial data capturing and analytics, and the Iron Drone Raider™, a fully autonomous interceptor drone designed to neutralize small hostile drones. Airobotics acquired the assets of Iron Drone on March 6, 2023.

 

Our unique, fully autonomous platforms enable cutting-edge aerial capabilities and are designed to serve and protect critical infrastructure and operations. Our business focuses on end-user entities in Public Safety, Defense, Homeland Security, Smart City, Port Authorities, State Departments, and other governmental entities together with commercial customers of industrial sensitive facilities such as Oil & Gas, Seaports, Mining, and Heavy Construction. For these industries, OAS provides specialized real-time aerial data capturing and aerial protection solutions in the most complex environments such as urban areas, sensitive and critical facilities and field area operations, and high-priority projects. In addition, we offer a wide suite of supplementary, enabling services for successful implementation such as AI data analytics, data automation, IT implementation, safety planning, certification, training, and maintenance, handling all the complex aspects of such high-performance drone operations.

 

Our portfolio companies, American Robotics and Airobotics, form a unique, powerful, and synergistic combination covering all the aspects required for successful Aerospace business together with data technologies and services for digital transformation industries. Our companies are specialized in addressing all the challenges arising along these types of product lifecycles including research and development, manufacturing, certification, and ongoing support.

 

OAS and its portfolio companies have already gained a track record of industry-leading regulatory successes including the securing of the first-of-its-kind Type Certification (TC) from the FAA for the Optimus 1-EX UAV on September 25, 2023, becoming the first autonomous security data capture UAV to achieve this distinction. TC, recognized as the highest echelon of Airworthiness Certification, streamline operational approvals for broad flight operations over people and infrastructure. The certification verifies the compliance of the system’s design with the required FAA airworthiness and noise standards, ensuring safe operation within the US National Airspace System (NAS) thereby significantly broadening the range of operational scenarios and scaling up of operations for automated UAS. Achieving FAA Type Certification will enable drone operations beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) without a human operator on-site. With a strong footprint in the US market and worldwide, we believe that OAS is well-positioned with proven technology, a unique offering, and strong capabilities to strategically transform critical operations with our cutting-edge drone tech and capabilities.

Liquidity  

 

We have incurred losses since inception and have funded our operations primarily through debt and the sale of capital stock. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $216,506,000. As of June 30, 2024, we had net long-term borrowings outstanding of approximately $2,502,000 net of debt discount and issuance costs of approximately $111,000 and short-term borrowings outstanding of approximately $29,427,000, net of debt discount and issuance cost of approximately $4,975,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $22,801,000.

 

In 2023, we raised approximately $14,692,000 of net proceeds from the sale of redeemable preferences shares in Ondas Networks and warrants in Ondas Holdings to third parties, and approximately $9,310,000 from a second convertible debt agreement. In 2024 through June 2024, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $4,500,000 from issuing additional redeemable preference shares in Ondas Networks and warrants in Ondas Holdings to third parties, approximately $4,050,000 from issuing common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Ondas Holdings and warrants in OAS and approximately $300,000 in government grant loans.

 

We expect to fund our operations for the next twelve months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q from the cash on hand as of June 30, 2024, proceeds from the 2024 financing activities discussed above, gross profits generated from revenue growth, potential prepayments from customers for purchase orders, potential proceeds from warrants issued and outstanding, and additional funds that we may seek through equity or debt offerings and/or borrowings under additional notes payable, lines of credit or other sources. There is substantial doubt that the funding plans will be successful and therefore the conditions discussed above have not been alleviated. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from August 14, 2024, the date the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued.

 

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 and services 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. 

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”). The Company’s accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2023 Form 10-K and are updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Ondas Networks, American Robotics, and Airobotics. All inter-company accounts and transactions between these entities have been eliminated in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The functional currency of the Company and all of our subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar.

 

Business Combinations

 

We utilize the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. This method requires, among other things, that results of operations of acquired companies are included in Ondas’ results of operations beginning on the respective acquisition dates and that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. Contingent consideration liabilities are recognized at the estimated fair value on the acquisition date; these are recorded in either other accruals within current liabilities (for expected payments in less than a year) or other non-current liabilities (for expected payments in greater than a year), both on our consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent changes to the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are recognized in other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Contingent consideration payments made soon after the acquisition date are classified as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Contingent consideration payments not made soon after the acquisition date that are related to the acquisition date fair value are reported as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, and amounts paid in excess of the original acquisition date fair value are reported as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in certain cases, may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair value during a period of time not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Legal costs, due diligence costs, business valuation costs and all other business acquisition costs are expensed when incurred. 

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the underlying net assets of an acquired business. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year, or immediately if conditions indicate that such impairment could exist. The Company evaluates qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value and whether it is necessary to perform goodwill impairment process.

 

Intangible assets represent patents, licenses, software and allocation of purchase price to identifiable intangible assets of an acquired business. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using the fair market value measurement requirement. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable.

 

We amortize our intangible assets with a finite life on a straight-line basis, over 3 years for software; 10 years for patents; 3-10 years for developed technology, 10 years for licenses, trademarks, marketing-related assets and the FAA waiver; 5 years for customer relationships; and 1 year for non-compete agreements.

 

Segment Information

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company determined it has two reportable segments: Ondas Networks and OAS as the CODM reviews financial information for these two businesses separately. The Company has no inter-segment sales.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such management estimates include those relating to allocation of consideration for business combinations to identifiable tangible and intangible assets, revenue recognition, inventory write-downs to reflect net realizable value, assumptions used in the valuation of stock-based awards and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes cash that is not readily available for use in the Company’s operating activities. Restricted cash is attributable to minimum cash reserve requirements for Airobotics’ credit cards. The Company periodically monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. Periodically, throughout the six months ended, and as of June 30, 2024, the Company has maintained balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was $4,254,049 in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at a gross invoice amount less an allowance for credit losses as well as net of any discounts or other forms of variable consideration. We estimate allowance for credit losses by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates our customers may have an inability to meet financial obligations, such as customer payment history, credit worthiness and receivable amounts outstanding for an extended period beyond contractual terms. We use assumptions and judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, to record an allowance to reduce the receivable to the amount expected to be collected. These allowances are evaluated and adjusted as additional information is received. We had no allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories, which consist solely of raw materials, work in process and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value, net of reserves for obsolete inventory. We continually analyze our slow-moving and excess inventories. Based on historical and projected sales volumes and anticipated selling prices, we established reserves. Inventory that is in excess of current and projected use is reduced by an allowance to a level that approximates its estimate of future demand. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 such reserves were $100,254.

 

Inventory consists of the following:

 

    June 30,
2024
    December 31,
2023
 
Raw Material   $ 2,265,851     $ 1,499,727  
Work in Process     298,536       782,770  
Finished Goods     2,491,640       4,403  
Less Inventory Reserves     (100,254 )     (100,254 )
Total Inventory, net   $ 4,955,773     $ 2,186,646  

 

Property and Equipment

 

All additions, including improvements to existing facilities, are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is principally recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives typically are (i) 3 to 7 years for computer equipment, (ii) 5 years for vehicles and docking stations and drones, (iii) 717 years for furniture and fixtures, (iv) 5 to 7 years for development equipment, and (v) 3 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Upon the disposal of property, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the amounts recorded therein for such items, and any resulting gain or loss is recorded in operating expenses in the year of disposition.

Software

 

Costs incurred internally in researching and developing a software product are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Judgment is required in determining when technological feasibility of a product is established. We have determined that technological feasibility for our software products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing. Generally, this occurs shortly before the products are released to production. The amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no internally developed software.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. Such indicators include significant technological changes, adverse changes in market conditions and/or poor operating results. The carrying value of a long-lived asset group is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than its carrying value. The amount of impairment loss recognized is the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset or asset group. Fair market value is determined primarily using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Costs for research and development are expensed as incurred except for research and development equipment with alternative future use. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, salary related expenses and costs of contractors and materials.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist primarily of receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short- and long-term debt. The carrying amount of receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate our fair value because of the short-term maturity of such instruments. Our financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include right of use assets, goodwill and intangibles, which are adjusted to fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. Our estimate of the fair value of right of use assets, goodwill and intangibles is based on expected future cash flows and actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

We have categorized our assets and liabilities that are valued at fair value on a recurring basis into a three-level fair value hierarchy in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

Assets and liabilities recorded in the balance sheets at fair value are categorized based on a hierarchy of inputs, as follows:

 

  Level 1 -- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 -- Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
     
  Level 3 -- Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

10

 

 

The Company had no Level 3 assets that are required to be valued at fair value as of June 30, 2024. The Company had Level 3 assets that are required to be valued at fair value as of December 31, 2023, see Note – 2 Summary of Significant Account Policies, Leases, and Note 4 – Property and Equipment.

 

The Company had Level 3 liabilities that are required to be valued at fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The fair value of the government grant liability is determined as the sum of 3% royalty payments on forecasted future sales, discounted using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company made the following assumptions: (i) royalty payments will be made on future sales through 2027, and (ii) the effective interest rate is a range of 17-19%. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Level 3 government grant liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs: 

 

   Government
Grant
Liability
 
Balance as of December 31, 2023  $2,749,704 
Net loss on change in fair value of liability   74,393 
Balance as of March 31, 2024   2,824,097 
Government grant proceeds received, adjusted to fair value   156,659 
Net gain on change in fair value of liability   (623,410)
Balance as of June 30, 2024  $2,357,346 

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financing as deferred offering costs until such financing is consummated. After consummation of equity financing, these costs are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the offering. Should the planned equity financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs are expensed immediately as a charge to other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Government Grants

 

The Government grant liability was assumed through the acquisition of Airobotics and asset purchase of Iron Drone. Airobotics and Iron Drone received government grants from the Israel Innovation Authority (formerly: the Office of the Chief Scientist in Israel, “the IIA”), and the grant funds are repayable to the extent that future economic benefits are expected from the research project that will result in royalty-bearing sales. A liability for grants received is first measured at fair value using a discount rate that reflects a market rate of interest. The difference between the amount of the grant received and the fair value of the liability is accounted for as a government grant and recognized as a reduction of research and development expenses.

 

At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether there is reasonable assurance that the liability recognized, in whole or in part, will not be repaid (since the Company will not be required to pay royalties) based on the best estimate of future sales and using the original effective interest rate, which is 17-19%, and if so, the appropriate amount of the liability is derecognized through other income (expense). Amounts paid as royalties are treated as a reduction of the liability. Royalty payments are due every nine months. There is no maturity date. The liability exists until it is paid in full through royalty payments or the Company reports to the IIA there will be no further sales, as per the terms of the agreement.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

 

In 2023 and 2024, Ondas Networks Inc. entered into multiple agreements with a third party for the sale of redeemable preferred stock in Ondas Networks (see Note 10 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest). The preferred stock accrues dividends at the rate per annum of eight percent (8%) of the original issue price and can be redeemed at the request of the Holder at any time after the fifth anniversary as follows:

 

  (i) In respect of the 2023 investments, for the greater of two times the initial investment plus accrued dividends or the amount that would be due if the Preferred Stock was converted into Common Stock.

 

  (ii) In respect of the 2024 investment, for the greater of one times the initial investment plus accrued dividends or the amount that would be due if the Preferred Stock was converted into Common Stock.

 

The applicable accounting guidance requires an equity instrument that is redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if it is redeemable (a) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, (b) at the option of the holder, or (c) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. As a result, the Company recorded the noncontrolling interest as redeemable noncontrolling interest and classified it in temporary equity within its consolidated balance sheet initially at its acquisition-date estimated redemption value or fair value. In addition, the Company has elected to accrete the redeemable noncontrolling interest to the full redemption value as of the earliest redemption date by accruing dividends at 8% per annum and accreting the redemption value to two and one times the initial investment, respectively, using the effective interest rate method.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the related 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 when the rate change is enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we recognize the effect of uncertain income tax positions only if the positions are more likely than not of being sustained in an audit, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized uncertain income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which those changes in judgment occur. We recognize both interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We calculate stock-based compensation expense for option awards (“Stock-based Award(s)”) based on the estimated grant/issue date fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes Model”) and recognize the expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. We account for forfeitures as they occur.

 

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 vesting period in determining the fair value of Stock-based Awards. The expected term is based on the “simplified method”, due to the Company’s limited option exercise history. Under this method, the term is estimated using the weighted average of the service vesting period and contractual term of the option award. As the Company does not yet have sufficient history of its own volatility, the Company has identified several public entities of similar size, complexities and industry and calculates historical volatility based on the volatilities of these companies. Although we believe our assumptions used to calculate stock-based compensation expense are reasonable, these assumptions can involve complex judgments about future events, which are open to interpretation and inherent uncertainty. In addition, significant changes to our assumptions could significantly impact the amount of expense recorded in a given period.  

 

We recognize restricted stock unit expense over the period of vesting or period that services will be provided. Compensation associated with shares of Common Stock issued or to be issued to consultants and other non-employees is recognized over the expected service period beginning on the measurement date, which is generally the time the Company and the service provider enter into a commitment whereby the Company agrees to grant shares in exchange for the services to be provided.

Shipping and Handling

 

We expense all shipping and handling costs as incurred. These costs are included in Cost of goods sold on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Advertising and Promotional Expenses

 

We expense advertising and promotional costs as incurred. We recognized expense of $15,618 and $17,487 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and expense of $41,761 and $58,431 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These costs are included in Sales and marketing on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Post-Retirement Benefits:

 

We have one 401(k) Savings Plan that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this 401(k) Plan, matching contributions are based upon the amount of the employees’ contributions subject to certain limitations. We recognized expense of $70,376 and $86,723 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $143,486 and $185,597 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Airobotics’ post-employment benefits are usually funded by deposits with insurance companies and are classified as defined deposit plans or defined benefit plans. Airobotics’ has defined deposit plans, in accordance with Section 14 of Severance Compensation Israeli Law, 1963, according to which Airobotics regularly makes its payments without having a legal or implied obligation to make additional payments even if the fund has not accumulated sufficient amounts to pay all employee benefits, in the current period and in previous periods. Deposits to a defined benefit plan for severance pay or benefits, are recognized as an expense when deposited with the plan in parallel with receiving work services from the employee. All of Airobotics’ employees in Israel are subject to Section 14 of Severance Compensation Israeli Law. We recognized expense of $186,915 and $122,009 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, $372,498 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $266,083 for the period of January 24, 2023 through June 30, 2023 related to these post-employment benefits.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Ondas has two business segments that generate revenue: Ondas Networks and OAS. Ondas Networks generates revenue from product sales, services, and development projects. OAS, which includes American Robotics and Airobotics, generates revenue from product sales, services, and data subscription services.

 

Ondas Networks is engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of wireless radio systems for secure, wide area mission-critical, business-to-business networks. Ondas Networks generates revenue primarily from the sale of our FullMAX System and the delivery of related services, along with non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) development projects with certain customers.

  

OAS generates revenue through the sales of their Optimus system and separately priced support, maintenance and ancillary services directly related to the sale of the Optimus system. OAS also generates service revenue by selling a data subscription service to its customers based on the information collected by their autonomous systems.

 

Revenue for development projects is typically recognized over time using a percentage of completion input method, whereby revenues are recorded on the basis of the Company’s estimates of satisfaction of the performance obligation based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs. The input method is utilized because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress as the performance obligations are completed.

  

Revenue and cost estimates are regularly monitored and revised based on changes in circumstances. Impacts from changes in estimates of revenue and cost of revenue are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods base in the performance completed to date.

Subscription revenue is recognized on straight line basis over the length of the customer subscription agreement. If a subscription payment is received prior to installation and operation of their autonomous systems, it is held in deferred revenue and recognized after operation commences over the length of the subscription service.

 

Collaboration Arrangements Within the Scope of ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements

 

The Company’s development revenue includes contracts where the Company and the customer work cooperatively to develop software and hardware applications. The Company analyzes these contracts to assess whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities and are therefore within the scope of ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”). This assessment is performed throughout the life of the arrangement based on changes in the responsibilities of all parties in the arrangement.  For collaboration arrangements that are deemed to be within the scope of ASC 808, the Company first determines which elements of the collaboration are deemed to be within the scope of ASC 808 and those that are more reflective of a vendor-customer relationship and therefore within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company’s policy is generally to recognize amounts received from collaborators in connection with joint operating activities that are within the scope of ASC 808 as a reduction in research and development expense. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has not identified any contracts with its customers that meet the criteria of ASC 808.

 

Arrangements Within the Scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised products or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the products or services it transfers to the customer.

 

At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the products or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised product or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing the expected value method. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available. Sales and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, none of our contracts with customers included variable consideration.

 

Contracts that are modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements are assessed to determine if the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Generally, contract modifications are for products or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the inability to use, consume or sell the products or services on their own to generate economic benefits and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no modifications to contract specifications.

Product revenue is comprised of sales of the Ondas Networks’ software defined base station and remote radios, its network management and monitoring system, and accessories. Ondas Networks’ software and hardware is sold with a limited one-year basic warranty included in the price. The limited one-year basic warranty is an assurance-type warranty, is not a separate performance obligation, and thus no transaction price is allocated to it. The nature of tasks under the limited one-year basic warranty only provides for remedying defective product(s) covered by the warranty. Product revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time, and may be upon shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract, or upon installation when the combined performance obligation is not distinct within the context of the contract.

 

Development revenue is comprised primarily of non-recurring engineering service contracts to develop software and hardware applications for various customers. For Ondas Networks, in 2024 and 2023, a significant portion of this revenue is generated from one parent customer whereby Ondas Networks is to develop such applications to interoperate within the customers infrastructure. For these contracts, Ondas Networks and the customers work cooperatively, whereby the customers’ involvement is to provide technical specifications for the product design, as well as, to review and approve the project progress at various markers based on predetermined milestones. The products developed are not able to be sold to any other customer and are based in part upon existing Ondas Networks and customer technology. Development revenue is either recognized at the point in time when those services have been provided to the customer and the performance obligation has been satisfied recognized, or as services are provided over the life of the contract as Ondas Networks has an enforceable right to payment for services completed to date and there is no alternative use of the product, depending on the contract.

 

If the customer contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. We enter into certain contracts within our service revenues that have multiple performance obligations, one or more of which may be delivered subsequent to the delivery of other performance obligations. We allocate the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. We determine standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the standalone selling price considering available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. Revenue is then allocated to the performance obligations using the relative selling prices of each of the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Ondas Networks’ payment terms vary and range from Net 15 to Net 30 days from the date of the invoices for product and services related revenue. Ondas Networks’ payment terms for the majority of their development related revenue carry milestone-related payment obligations which span the contract life. For milestone-based contracts, the customer reviews the completed milestone and once approved, makes payment pursuant to the applicable contract.

  

OAS’s product revenue is comprised of sales of the Optimus system which includes a drone, docking station, different flown sensors (payloads), communications system, batteries, and others. The Optimus system is sold with a limited one-year basic warranty included in the price. The limited one-year basic warranty is an assurance-type warranty, is not a separate performance obligation, and thus no transaction price is allocated to it. The nature of tasks under the limited one-year basic warranty only provides for remedying defective product(s) covered by the warranty. Product revenue is generally recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which occurs at a point in time, and may be upon shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual shipping terms of a contract, or upon installation when the combined performance obligation is not distinct within the context of the contract.

 

OAS’s service revenue is comprised of separately priced support and maintenance sales, as well as ancillary services directly related to the sale of the Optimus system including product training, installation, and onsite support. OAS also generates service revenue by selling a data subscription service to its customers based on the information collected by their autonomous systems. The customer pays for a monthly, annual, or multi-annual subscription service to remotely access the data collected by their autonomous systems. Ancillary service revenues are recognized at the point in time when those services have been provided to the customer and the performance obligation has been satisfied. The Company allocates the transaction price to the service based on the stand-alone selling prices of these performance obligations, which are stated in our contracts.

 

15

 

 

OAS’s payment terms vary and range from Net 30 days to Net 60 days from the date of the invoices for product and services related revenue. OAS’s payment terms for the majority of their development related revenue carry milestone-related payment obligations which span the contract life. For milestone-based contracts, the customer reviews the completed milestone and once approved, makes payment pursuant to the applicable contract.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

We recognize a receivable or contract asset when we perform a service or transfer a good in advance of receiving consideration. A receivable is recorded when our right to consideration is unconditional and only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. A contract asset is recorded when we have recognized revenue over time in accordance with meeting our performance obligation but are unable to invoice the customer yet based on the contractual invoicing terms. The contract asset is reclassified to a receivable when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. The table below details the activity in our contract assets during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023. Contract assets are included in Other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We recognize a contract liability when we receive consideration, or if we have the unconditional right to receive consideration, in advance of satisfying the performance obligation. A contract liability is our obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which we have received consideration, or an amount of consideration is due from the customer. The table below details the activity in our contract liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.

Warranty Reserve

 

For our software and hardware products, we provide a limited one-year assurance-type warranty and for our development service, we provide no warranties. The assurance-type warranty covers defects in material and workmanship only. If a software or hardware component is determined to be defective after being tested by the Company within the one-year, the Company will repair, replace or refund the price of the covered hardware and/or software to the customer (not including any shipping, handling, delivery or installation charges). We estimate, based upon a review of historical warranty claim experience, the costs that may be incurred under our warranties and record a liability in the amount of such estimate at the time a product is sold. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liability and adjust the accrual as claims data and historical experience warrants. The Company has assessed the costs of fulfilling its existing assurance-type warranties and has determined that the estimated outstanding warranty obligation on June 30, 2024, or December 31, 2023 are immaterial to the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Leases

 

Under Topic 842, operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly over the term of the lease. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s operating leases consisted of office spaces in Sunnyvale, CA, Marlborough, MA (the “American Robotics Lease”), Waltham, MA (the “Waltham Lease”), and Petah Tikva, Israel (the “Airobotics Leases”).

 

On January 22, 2021, we entered into a 24-month lease (effective April 1, 2021) with the owner and landlord (the “2021 Gibraltar Lease”), wherein the base rate is $45,000 per month, with a security deposit in the amount of $90,000. On April 1, 2023, the Company amended the 2021 Gibraltar Lease to extend the lease through September 30, 2023, wherein the base rate is $65,676 per month. On November 6, 2023, the Company amended the 2021 Gibraltar Lease, as amended to further extend the lease through June 30, 2024, wherein the base rate is $68,959 per month.

 

On August 7, 2023, Ondas Networks entered into a 72-month lease agreement with the owner and landlord of office space in Sunnyvale, CA (the “Oakmead Lease”). The Oakmead Lease commenced on October 1, 2023, and is an operating lease through September 30, 2029. Base rent is $77,533 per month, increasing approximately 3% annually, with a security deposit due in the amount of $269,428. Base rent is abated during the first twelve months of the term of the lease.

 

On August 5, 2021, the Company acquired American Robotics and the American Robotics Lease, located in Marlborough, Massachusetts, wherein the base rate is $15,469 per month, with an annual increase of 3% through January 2024, with a security deposit of $24,166. On August 19, 2021, American Robotics amended the American Robotics Lease to reduce their space to approximately 10,450 square feet. The amendment reduced their annual base rent to $8,802 per month, with an annual increase of 3% through January 31, 2024. On November 10, 2023, American Robotics amended the American Robotics Lease, as amended to extend the existing lease term from January 31, 2024 to January 31, 2026 and to relinquish a portion of the leased outdoor space. The annual base rent is $14,586 per month starting February 1, 2024, with an annual increase of 3.5% through January 2026. These facilities also serve as Ondas’ corporate headquarters.

 

On October 8, 2021, American Robotics entered into an 86-month operating lease for space in Waltham, Massachusetts. The Waltham Lease commenced on March 1, 2022, and is scheduled to terminate on April 30, 2029, wherein the base rate is $39,375 per month, increasing 3% annually, with a security deposit due in the amount of $104,040.

 

On January 15, 2024, American Robotics entered into an agreement to sublet their full leased space, leasehold improvements, and remaining furniture and fixtures in Waltham, Massachusetts through April 30, 2029, the remaining lease term, for $22,920 per month from May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025, then $41,250 per month from May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2029. The sublease is an operating lease. This event indicated that the carrying amount of the right of use asset, leasehold improvements, and remaining furniture and fixtures in Waltham, Massachusetts (the “Asset Group”) may not be recoverable. The Asset Group was tested for recoverability as of December 31, 2023 using the undiscounted cash flows from the sublease and the Company found the Asset Group to be impaired. The Company determined the Level 3 fair value of the Asset Group using the sum of future cash flows from the sublease, discounted to the present value using an assumed discount rate of 10.5%. Based on this valuation, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $1,383,536 related to the right of use asset associated with this Asset Group in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in our 2023 Form 10-K. There was no indication of impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

On January 23, 2023, the Company acquired Airobotics and the Airobotics Leases, which includes office space in Petah Tikva, Israel leased according to three different lease agreements. Each agreement is with respect to different sections of the entire leased area and are in effect through December 31, 2023, February 28, 2024, and November 30, 2024 wherein the base rate of the entire leased area is approximately $20,500 per month. The expired leases are being accounted for on a month-to-month basis.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at the inception of the arrangement. If we determine that the arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at lease inception, we then determine whether the lease is an operating lease or finance lease. Operating and finance leases result in recording a right of use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on our consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. For purposes of calculating operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, we use the non-cancellable lease term plus options to extend that we are reasonably certain to take. Lease expense for operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. As such, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. This rate is generally consistent with the interest rate we pay on borrowings under our credit facilities, as this rate approximates our collateralized borrowing capabilities over a similar term of the lease payments. We have elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term (12 months or less) leases for any class of underlying assets. We have elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for any class of underlying asset.

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for each period (the denominator). Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from net income.

 

The computation of diluted net loss per share is similar to the computation of basic net loss per share except that the numerator may have to adjust for any dividends and income or loss associated with potentially dilutive securities that are assumed to have resulted in the issuance of shares of Common Stock, and the denominator may have to adjust to include the number of additional shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of Common Stock had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from shares of Common Stock issuable through stock options, warrants, restricted stock units, or convertible preferred stock. For purposes of determining diluted earnings per common share, the treasury stock method is used for stock options, warrants, and restricted stock units, and the if-converted method is used for convertible preferred stock as prescribed in ASC Topic 260. Because of the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the impact of including this in our computation of diluted net loss per share was anti-dilutive.

 

The following potentially dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited with a limited number of financial institutions. The balances held at any one financial institution may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was $4,254,049 in excess of FDIC insured limits.

 

Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. We generally do not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain an allowance for credit losses.

  

Concentration of Customers 

 

Because we have only recently invested in our customer service and support organization, a small number of customers have accounted for a substantial amount of our revenue. Revenue from significant customers, those representing 10% or more of total revenue, was composed of three customers accounting for 67%, 13% and 13% of the Company’s revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Revenue from significant customers was composed of three customers accounting for 60%, 15% and 15% of the Company’s revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

On September 30, 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) No. 2022-03, which (1) clarifies existing guidance when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and (2) introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The ASU clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security. Instead, the contractual sale restriction is a characteristic of the reporting entity. Accordingly, an entity should not consider the contractual sale restriction when measuring the equity security’s fair value. Additionally, the ASU clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this pronouncement as of January 1, 2024 did not have a material impact on our accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, which incorporates 14 of the 27 disclosures referred to by the SEC in their SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, issued on August 17, 2018. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected Topics unless otherwise indicated. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively. For public business entities, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company has evaluated the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2022-03, and it is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which amends and enhances the disclosure requirements for reportable segments. All disclosure requirements under this standard will also be required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The new standard will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, “Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets”, which amends and enhances the disclosure requirements for crypto assets. The new requirements will be effective for public business entities for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has evaluated the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2022-08, and it is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which requires companies to provide disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The new requirements will be effective for public business entities for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 5 – GOODWILL AND BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

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”). The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination is recorded as goodwill.

 

Airobotics Transaction

 

On January 23, 2023, the Company, completed the acquisition of Airobotics, pursuant to the Agreement of Merger, dated as of August 4, 2022 (the “Original Airobotics Agreement”), and that certain Amendment to Agreement of Merger, dated November 13, 2022 (the “Airobotics Amendment,” and together with the Original Airobotics Agreement, the “Airobotics Agreement”), by and among the Company, Talos Sub Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Airobotics. In accordance with the terms of the Airobotics Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Airobotics (the “Merger”), with Airobotics continuing as the surviving company of the Merger and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each ordinary share of Airobotics, par value NIS 0.01 per share (the “Airobotics Ordinary Shares”), issued and outstanding (other than shares owned by Airobotics or its subsidiaries (dormant or otherwise) or by the Company or Merger Sub) was converted into, and exchanged for 0.16806 (the “Exchange Ratio”) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company Common Stock, without interest and subject to applicable tax withholdings (“Merger Consideration”). All fractional shares of the Company Common Stock that would have otherwise been issued to a holder of Airobotics Ordinary Shares as part of the Merger Consideration were rounded up to the nearest whole share based on the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to such holder of Airobotics Ordinary Shares. Holders of Airobotics Ordinary Shares received approximately 2.8 million shares as consideration (excluding approximately 1.7 million shares underlying equity awards to be outstanding following the Merger).

 

As provided in the Airobotics Agreement, each outstanding option, warrant or other right, whether vested or unvested, to purchase Airobotics Ordinary Shares (each, an “Airobotics Stock Option,” and collectively, the “Airobotics Stock Options”) issued pursuant to the Airobotics Ltd. 2015 Israeli Share Option Plan and 2020 Incentive Equity Plan (the “Airobotics Plans”), was assumed by Ondas and converted as of the Effective Time into an option, warrant or right, as applicable, to purchase shares of Company Common Stock. Subject to the terms of the relevant Airobotics Stock Option, each Airobotics Stock Option is deemed to constitute an option, warrant, or other right, as applicable, to purchase, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Airobotics Stock Option, a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole share) that the holder of such Airobotics Stock Option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger had such holder exercised such option, warrant, or right to purchase full Airobotics Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time at a price per share of Company Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole cent) equal to (i) the former per share exercise price for Airobotics Ordinary Shares otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Airobotics Stock Option, divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

 

As a result of the Merger, the Company is dual listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”). The first trading day of the Company’s shares on TASE was January 26, 2023. On February 8, 2024, the Company took steps to voluntarily delist the Company’s Common Stock from trading on TASE. Pursuant to Israeli law, the delisting of the Company’s Common Stock is expected to take effect three months following the date of the Company’s request to the TASE to delist the Company’s Common Stock, which occurred on February 8, 2024. The Company’s Common Stock was voluntarily delisted from the TASE on May 9, 2024. The Company’s Common Stock will continue to be listed for trading on Nasdaq, and all of the shares traded on the TASE are expected to be transferred to Nasdaq where they can continue to be traded. See the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 8, 2024 for further details.

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

 

Purchase price consideration:    
Common Stock – 2,844,291 Shares  $5,261,938 
Vested Stock Options – 605,349 Shares   700,690 
Warrants – 586,440 Warrants to purchase shares   
-
 
Total purchase price consideration  $5,962,628 
      
Estimated fair value of assets acquired:     
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash  $1,049,454 
Accounts receivable   112,245 
Inventory   1,494,707 
Other current assets   835,664 
Property and equipment   3,015,602 
Right of use asset   339,104 
Intangible assets   5,977,926 
Other long-term assets   62,851 
Total estimated fair value of assets acquired   12,887,553 
      
Estimated fair value of liabilities assumed:     
Accounts payable   969,242 
Customer Prepayments   1,602,535 
Government grant liability   1,783,403 
Other loans   1,140,301 
Other payables   1,156,057 
Lease liabilities   385,450 
Loan from related party   2,032,875 
Total estimated fair value of liabilities assumed   9,069,863 
      
Net Assets Acquired  $3,817,690 
      
Goodwill  $2,144,938 

 

The exercise price of the warrants included in the purchase price consideration far exceeded the Company’s stock price at the date of acquisition, thus the value of warrants was deemed de minimis.

 

The intangible assets acquired include the developed technology, marketing-related assets, and customer relationships (see Note 6 – Intangible Assets). The final purchase price allocation has changed from the preliminary allocation because of changes in the valuation of property and equipment and intangibles. During the year ended December  31, 2023, measurement period adjustments were made of (1) $68,483 to reduce the estimated fair value of property and equipment and increase goodwill, respectively, and (2) $80,000 to reduce the valuation of the customer relationships intangible asset and increase goodwill, respectively.

 

Goodwill represents the assembled workforce, acquired capabilities, and future economic benefits resulting from the acquisition. No portion of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Goodwill Impairment

 

The Company has recognized goodwill as part of the American Robotics acquisition in 2021 and Airobotics acquisition in 2023. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, are as follows:

 

   OAS 
Balance as of January 1, 2023  $
25,60,983
 
Goodwill acquired   2,144,938 
Balance as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024  $27,751,921 

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment in the fourth quarter after the annual forecasting process. In December 2023, the Company bypassed the qualitative analysis and proceeded directly to a quantitative analysis. The Company engaged a third-party service provider to carry out a valuation of the OAS reporting unit. Using a discounted cash flow analysis and updated forecasts for revenue and cash flows, it was determined that the fair value of the OAS reporting unit was higher than the carrying value as of December 31, 2023, and no impairment to goodwill was necessary as of December 31, 2023.

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM NOTES PAYABLE

 

2017 Convertible Promissory Note

 

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

 

The Company may at any time on or after a qualified public offering convert any unpaid repayment at the IPO conversion price. The conversion price is the lesser of the (i) price per share of Common Stock sold in the Qualified Public Offering, discounted by 20%, and (ii) the price per share of Common Stock based on a pre-money Company valuation of $50 million on a Fully Diluted Basis.

 

On both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total outstanding balance of the 2017 Convertible Promissory Note was $300,000. The maturity date of the 2017 Convertible Promissory Note is based on the payment of 0.6% of quarterly gross revenue until 1.5 times the amount of the 2017 Convertible Promissory Note is paid. Accrued interest on June 30, 202, and December 31, 2023 was $22,421 and $26,844, respectively. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $ 3,750 and $7,500, respectively. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $3,750 and $7,500, respectively.

  

2022 Convertible Exchange Notes

 

On October 28, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors pursuant to which we issued convertible notes (“2022 Convertible Promissory Notes”) in the principal amount of $34.5 million, with a debt discount of $4.5 million and issuance costs of $2.3 million. The net amount of proceeds to us from the 2022 Convertible Promissory Notes after deducting the placement agent’s fees and transaction expenses (issuance costs) were approximately $27,703,000. The Company has used the net proceeds of the 2022 Convertible Promissory Notes for general corporate purposes, including funding capital, expenditures, or the expansion of its business and providing working capital.

 

On January 20, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to Securities Purchase Agreement (“Amended SPA”) to that certain Purchase Agreement. The Amended SPA amends the notes attached as exhibits to the Purchase Agreement. Amendment No.1 was accounted for as a modification of the Purchase Agreement,

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on January 20, 2023, the Company exchanged the 2022 Convertible Promissory Notes, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, into 3% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2024 (the “2022 Convertible Exchange Notes”).

 

The 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the 2022 Convertible Promissory Notes, except that they (i) are issued pursuant to the Base Indenture (as defined below) and the First Supplemental Indenture (as defined below); (ii) have a maturity date of October 28, 2024; (iii) allow for the Acceleration of Installment Amounts (as defined in the 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes) not to exceed eight (8) times the Installment Amount (as defined in the 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes) with respect to the Installment Date (as defined in the 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes) related to the Current Acceleration (as defined in the 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes); and (iv) modify the Acceleration Conversion Price (as defined in the 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes).

 

The 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes were issued pursuant to the first supplemental indenture (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of January 20, 2023, between the Company and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The First Supplemental Indenture supplements the indenture entered into by and between the Company and the Trustee, dated as of January 20, 2023 (the “Base Indenture” and, together with the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Initial Indenture”).

The 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes are payable in monthly installments beginning on November 1, 2022 through the maturity date of April 28, 2025 (each such date, an “Installment Date”). On each Installment Date, we will make monthly payments by converting the applicable “Installment Amount” (as defined below) into shares of our Common Stock (an “Installment Conversion”), subject to satisfaction of certain equity conditions, including a minimum $1.50 share price, $500,000 minimum daily volume, and maintaining continued Nasdaq listing requirements among other conditions. If these conditions are not met, installments can be requested in cash.

At each Installment Date the note holder may defer some or all of the amount due until the subsequent Installment Date. In between Installment Dates, the note holder also has the option to accelerate certain portions of principal due.

Sale of Common Stock in Ondas Holdings and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of OAS

 

On February 26, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Ondas Agreement”) with certain purchasers named therein (the “Ondas Purchasers”) for the purchase and sale of (i) an aggregate of 3,616,071 shares (the “Holdings Shares”) of Common Stock and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,616,071 shares of OAS’ common stock $0.0001 par value per share, at an exercise price of 80% of the lowest price of Common Shares of OAS issued in a subsequent financing of at least $10,000,000 to the Company, and exercisable commencing ninety days following the date of issuance through the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance (the “OAS Warrants,” and together with the Holdings Shares, the “Ondas Offering Securities”), for gross proceeds of $4,050,000 (the “Ondas Offering”). The purchase price paid by the Ondas Purchasers for the Holdings Shares was $1.12 per share.

 

The Company engaged a third-party service provider to carry out an appraisal of the OAS Warrants, who ran a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the fair value of the OAS Warrants as of February 26, 2024, which is $1,561,532. The initial valuation was assigned to the Holdings Shares and the OAS Warrants based on their relative fair values, with the initial valuation of the Holdings Shares being $3,095,263 and OAS Warrants being $954,737.

 

The Ondas Offering was consummated on February 26, 2024.

The issuance of the OAS Warrants was exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) of such Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder based upon the representations of each of the Ondas Purchasers that it was an “accredited investor” (as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D) and that it was purchasing such securities without a present view toward a distribution of the securities. In addition, there was no general advertisement conducted in connection with the sale of the OAS Warrants. See the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024 for further details.

 

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of the Company

 

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option model (the “Black-Scholes Model”) to determine the fair value of warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company. The Black-Scholes Model is an acceptable model in accordance with U.S 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.

  

On February 26, 2024, the Company issued warrants to purchase 3,015,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.26 per share, and with a relative fair value of $1,471,194, in connection with the sale of redeemable preferred stock in Ondas Networks. See Note 10 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest.

On June 3, 2024, the Company issued warrants to purchase 662,723 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.72 per share, and with a fair value of $193,250, in consideration of consulting services for the Company.

 

On June 3, 2024, the Company issued warrants to purchase 15,391 shares of Ondas Networks Common Stock in consideration of consulting services for the Company. The Company engaged a third-party service provider to carry out a valuation of Ondas Networks’ Common Stock to determine its fair value as of May 31, 2024 and has recorded stock-based compensation of $84,992 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 based on the preliminary valuation.

On July 21, 2023, Ondas Networks entered into a certain Amendment to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Networks Amendment,” together with the Original Networks Agreement, the “2023 Networks Agreement”). Pursuant to the Networks Amendment, in exchange for an initial sale of shares of Networks Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Initial Purchaser acquired the following (the “Initial Networks Closing”), for gross proceeds to Ondas Networks of $11,508,517: (i) 329,238 shares of Networks Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at a purchase price of $34.955 per share (the “Per Share Price”), convertible into shares of Common Stock of Ondas Networks, $0.00001 par value per share (the “Networks Common Stock”) and (ii) warrants to purchase 7,825,792 shares of the Company Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.89 per share, exercisable commencing ninety days following the date of issuance through the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Initial Warrants”). Also, pursuant to the Networks Amendment, the Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase, and Ondas Networks agreed to sell and issue to the Initial Purchaser, an additional 99,885 shares of Networks Series A-1 Preferred Stock, at the Per Share Price (the “Second Initial Purchaser Closing”) and warrants to purchase 2,374,208 shares of Company Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.89 per share, exercisable commencing ninety days following the date of issuance through the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Second Initial Purchaser Warrants”), within thirty days of the Initial Networks Closing.

 

Ondas Networks used the proceeds from the sale of the Networks Series A-1 Preferred Stock for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including fees related to the transactions contemplated by the 2023 Networks Agreement. No portion of the proceeds will be distributed to the Company.

 

Also on July 21, 2023, Ondas Networks completed the Initial Networks Closing. In connection with the Initial Networks Closing, the Company issued the Initial Warrants. Also, in connection with the Initial Closing, the parties entered into an indemnification agreement, investors’ rights agreement, right of first refusal agreement, and voting agreement. Forms of each of these agreements are attached to Exhibit 10.1 to Form 8-K filed on July 28, 2023.

  

On August 11, 2023, Ondas Networks completed the Second Initial Purchaser Closing. In connection with the Second Initial Purchaser Closing, the Company issued Second Initial Purchaser Warrants. Following the Second Initial Purchaser Closing, the Initial Purchaser had invested an aggregate of $15.0 million and owned a minority interest of approximately 28% of Ondas Networks.

 

The Company assessed the Networks Series A-1 Preferred Stock in accordance with ASC 480 and determined that it should be recorded as temporary equity and not as a liability. The initial valuation was assigned to the Networks Series A-1 Preferred Stock and the Warrants based on relative fair values, with the initial valuation of the noncontrolling interest being $10,406,949 and warrants being $4,593,051. It is being accreted using the effective interest rate method over the five-year period to achieve the redemption value of $30,000,000 plus accrued dividends.

The Networks Series A-2 Preferred Stock accrues dividends at the rate per annum of eight percent (8%) of the original issue price, of $41.3104 per share (the “Original Issue Price”). Dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the board of directors of Ondas Networks and Ondas Networks shall be under no obligation to pay such dividends. Such dividends are payable in cash or additional shares of Networks Series A-2 Preferred Stock, with such valuation based on the Original Issue Price. Each share of Networks Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Networks Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion, which initially is set at $41.3104. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the number of shares of Networks Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Networks Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. The Networks Series A-2 Preferred Stock can be redeemed as the request of the Holder at any time after the fifth anniversary for the greater of the initial investment plus accrued dividends or the amount that would be due if the Networks Series A-2 Preferred Stock was converted into Networks Common Stock as described above.

 

Pursuant to the Networks Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the purchasers to register the resale of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Holdings Warrants pursuant to a registration statement to be filed no later 180 days following the closing of the Networks Offering. Also, pursuant to the Networks Agreement, the Networks Purchasers became parties to those certain investors’ rights agreement, right of first refusal agreement, and voting agreement, dated July 21, 2023.

 

Ondas Networks used the proceeds from the sale of the Networks Offering Securities to immediately redeem an amount of shares of Networks Common Stock at the Per Share Price held by the Company that was equivalent to the amount of proceeds raised in the sale of the Networks Offering Securities.

 

The issuance of the Networks Offering Securities was exempt from registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of such Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder based upon the representations of each of the Networks Purchasers that it was an “accredited investor” (as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D) and that it was purchasing such securities without a present view toward a distribution of the securities. In addition, there was no general advertisement conducted in connection with the sale of the Networks Offering Securities. See the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024 for further details.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $68.9 million as of December 31, 2023, including a tax benefit of $62.6 million from net operating loss carry-forwards. A valuation allowance of $68.9 million was provided against this asset resulting in deferred assets, net of valuation allowance of $0.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company and Ondas Networks had Federal NOLs of approximately $1 million and $15 million, respectively, generated in 2007 to 2017 which will begin to expire in 2027 through 2037. Additionally, as of December 31, 2023, the Company and Ondas Networks had Federal NOLs of $59 million and $50 million, respectively, generated in 2018 through 2023 that have no expiration. As of December 31, 2023, the Company and Ondas Networks had State NOLs available to offset future taxable income of $43 million and $92 million, respectively, expiring from 2038 through 2043. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $127 million of Israeli NOL’s. The Company’s Federal income tax returns for the 2020 to 2022 tax years remain open to examination by the IRS. Upon utilization of Federal NOLs in the future, the IRS may examine records from the year the loss occurred, even if outside the three-year statute of limitations. The Company’s State tax returns also remain open to examination. The Company’s Israeli income tax returns for the 2019 to 2022 tax years remain open to examination.

 

37

 

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, including the net operating loss carry forwards, the Company assesses the positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize its existing deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period when those temporary differences become deductible. Based on its assessment, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets since their future utilization remains uncertain at this time.

 

In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the usage of the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards could be limited in the event a change of control has occurred. As of December 31, 2021, the Company completed an analysis and determined that there were multiple ownership changes. Provided sufficient taxable income is generated the annual base limitation plus increased limitation calculated pursuant to IRS Notice 2003-65 will allow the Company to utilize all existing losses within the carryover periods.

 

The Company applies the FASB’s provisions for uncertain tax positions. The Company utilizes the two-step process to determine the amount of recognized tax benefit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, management does not believe the Company has any material uncertain tax positions that would require it to measure and reflect the potential lack of sustainability of a position on audit in its financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate its uncertain tax positions in future periods to determine if measurement and recognition in its financial statements is necessary. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next year.

 

NOTE 14 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owed $25,000 and $22,500 to independent directors, respectively, related to accrued compensation, which is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events as of August 14, 2024, the date the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued according to the requirements of ASC topic 855.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company issued 3,367,431 shares as a result of Installment Conversions on the 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes.

 

Ondas Networks Convertible Notes

 

On July 8, 2024 and July 23, 2024, an Investor elected to purchase Convertible Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $700,000 and $800,000, respectively, (the “Networks Convertible Notes”). Networks Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of Networks Common Stock or Preferred Stock under certain conditions. The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which includes funding capital expenditures and working capital. The Networks Convertible Notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and have a maturity date of July 8, 2025 and July 23, 2025, respectively. In the event Ondas Networks consummates the next round of equity financing prior to the maturity date, the principal balance and unpaid accrued interest on the Networks Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the Investor into conversion shares upon closing of the next round of equity financing.

Overview

 

Ondas Holdings Inc. (“Ondas Holdings,” “Ondas,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”) is a leading provider of private wireless, drone, and automated data solutions through its subsidiaries Ondas Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ondas Networks”) and Ondas Autonomous Systems Inc., a Nevada corporation (“OAS”), which wholly-owns Airobotics, Ltd., an Israeli company (“Airobotics”), and American Robotics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“American Robotics” or “AR”). On August 8, 2024, the Company filed a certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, amending Ondas Autonomous Holdings Inc.’s name to Ondas Autonomous Systems Inc.

 

Ondas Networks provides wireless connectivity solutions. OAS provides drone and automated data solutions through its subsidiaries Airobotics and American Robotics. Ondas Networks and OAS together provide users in rail, energy, mining, public safety and critical infrastructure and government markets with improved connectivity, data collection capabilities, and data collection and information processing capabilities. We operate Ondas Networks and OAS as separate business segments, and the following is a discussion of each segment. See Note 1, Note 2, and Note 12 of the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our segments.

  

Ondas Networks Segment

 

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”). Our 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. These applications require secure, real-time connectivity with the ability to process large amounts of data at the edge of large industrial networks. Such applications are required in all of the major critical infrastructure markets, including rail, electric grids, drones, oil and gas, and public safety, homeland security and government, where secure, reliable and fast operational decisions are required in order to improve efficiency and ensure a high degree of safety and security.

 

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 infrastructure. We have targeted the North American freight rail operators for the initial adoption of our FullMAX platform. These rail operators currently operate legacy communications systems utilizing serial-based narrowband wireless technologies for voice and data communications. These legacy wireless networks have limited data capacity and are unable to support the adoption of new, intelligent train control and management systems. 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 802.16 standard. Because standards-based communications solutions are preferred by our mission-critical customers and ecosystem partners, we continue to take a leadership position in IEEE as it relates to wireless networking for industrial markets. As such, management believes this standards-based approach supports the adoption of our technology across a burgeoning ecosystem of global partners and end markets.

 

39

 

 

Our software-based FullMAX platform is an important and timely upgrade solution for privately-owned and operated wireless wide-area networks, leveraging Internet Protocol-based communications to provide more reliability and data capacity for our mission-critical infrastructure customers. We believe industrial and critical infrastructure markets throughout the globe have reached an inflection point where legacy serial and analog based protocols and network transport systems no longer meet industry needs. In addition to offering enhanced data throughput, FullMAX is an intelligent networking platform enabling the adoption of sophisticated operating systems and equipment supporting next-generation MC-IoT applications over wide field areas. These new MC-IoT applications and related equipment require more processing power at the edge of large industrial networks and the efficient utilization of network capacity and scarce bandwidth resources which can be supported by the “Fog-computing” capability integrated in our end-to-end network platform. Fog-computing utilizes management software to enable edge compute processing and data and application prioritization in the field enabling our customers more reliable, real-time operating control of these new, intelligent MC-IoT equipment and applications at the edge.

 

Partnership with Siemens and Market Advancements

 

Ondas Networks and Siemens Mobility (“Siemens”), have a strategic partnership, to both market our FullMAX-based networking technology and services and to jointly develop wireless communications products for the North American Rail Industry based on Siemens’ Advanced Train Control System (“ATCS”) protocol and our FullMAX MC-IoT platform.

  

We believe Siemens has both the sales and marketing reach and support to drive our technology to wide scale acceptance across the global rail market beginning with the North American Class I Railroad market. We have a jointly-developed product with Siemens – the dual-mode ATCS/MC-IoT radio systems, and Siemens is marketing and selling our proprietary systems under the brand name Airlink to our railroad customers. The dual-mode ATCS radio systems support Siemens’ extensive installed base of ATCS radios as well as offer Siemens’ customers the ability to support a host of new advanced rail applications utilizing our MC-IoT wireless system. These new applications, including Advanced Grade Crossing Activation and Monitoring, Wayside Inspection, Railcar Monitoring and next generation signaling and train control systems, are designed to increase railroad productivity, reduce costs and improve safety. In addition, Siemens markets and sells Ondas Networks’ standalone MC-IoT 802.16 products under the Siemens Airlink brand.

 

We developed a new radio for the Head of Train (HOT) Market in North America and a similar product for the Indian rail market. Siemens delivered these 900 MHz rail orders for a major Class I Railroad in the United States and received HOT orders for the Indian market.

 

Ondas and Siemens developed a new locomotive radio to support European Railroads. We secured an initial volume order from Siemens for the Class I Rail 900 MHz Network consisting of both ATCS compatible products along with Ondas’ catalog products. We received government authorization to sell ATCS radios in Canada and Siemens and launched our joint effort for the European market at Innotrans in Berlin. Siemens and Ondas demonstrated our over the air compatibility to systems used by passenger rails in the Northeast Corridor of the US.

 

In March 2023 the Association of American Railroads (“AAR”) formally announced that IEEE 802.16 standard would be the wireless platform for the greenfield 900 MHz network. In April 2023, the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) voted to require the use of 802.16 in the 900 MHz greenfield band; The AAR also confirmed they have agreed with the Federal Communications Committee to retire the legacy 900 MHz band by September 2025 and that the wireless network in the new 900 MHz band would be substantially built by April 2026. In May and June 2023, we responded to RFPs to passenger rail customers in the Northeast Corridor. In February 2024, Siemens was selected by Amtrak to deliver their next generation radio based on Ondas’ FullMAX technology and the 802.16 standard.  

 

40

 

 

Our relationship with Siemens has expanded significantly since entering into the partnership both with (i) the wider marketing of our wireless technology platform and (ii) multiple additional joint-product programs. Siemens has expanded its marketing reach of Ondas Networks products with identified opportunities in North American Transit Rail as well as in European and Asian Rail markets. We believe our technology has broad potential in these large, newly targeted markets.

 

OAS Segment

 

Our OAS business unit develops and integrates drone-based solutions focusing on high-performance critical applications for government and Tier-1 commercial enterprises. Ondas is marketing comprehensive drone-based solutions to address the needs of governmental and commercial customers based on its commercially available platforms: the Optimus System™, a fully autonomous drone platform capable of continuous and multipurpose aerial data capturing and analytics, and the Iron Drone Raider™, a fully autonomous interceptor drone designed to neutralize small hostile drones.

 

Our unique, fully autonomous platforms enable cutting-edge aerial capabilities and are designed to serve and protect critical infrastructure and operations. Our business focuses on end-user entities in Public Safety, Defense, Homeland Security, Smart City, Port Authorities, State Departments, and other governmental entities together with commercial customers of industrial sensitive facilities such as Oil & Gas, Seaports, Mining, and Heavy Construction. For these industries, OAS provides specialized real-time aerial data capturing and aerial protection solutions in the most complex environments such as urban areas, sensitive and critical facilities and field area operations, and high-priority projects. In addition, we offer a wide suite of supplementary, enabling services for successful implementation such as AI data analytics, data automation, IT implementation, safety planning, certification, training, and maintenance, handling all the complex aspects of such high-performance drone operations.

 

Our portfolio companies, American Robotics and Airobotics, form a unique, powerful, and synergistic combination covering all the aspects required for successful Aerospace business together with data technologies and services for digital transformation industries. Our companies are specialized in addressing all the challenges arising along these types of product lifecycles including research and development, manufacturing, certification, and ongoing support.

 

OAS and its portfolio companies have already gained a track record of industry-leading regulatory successes including the securing of the first-of-its-kind Type Certification (TC) from the FAA for the Optimus 1-EX UAV on September 25, 2023, becoming the first autonomous security data capture UAV to achieve this distinction. TC, recognized as the highest echelon of Airworthiness Certification, streamline operational approvals for broad flight operations over people and infrastructure. The certification verifies the compliance of the system’s design with the required FAA airworthiness and noise standards, ensuring safe operation within the US National Airspace System (NAS) thereby significantly broadening the range of operational scenarios and scaling up of operations for automated UAS. Achieving FAA Type Certification will enable drone operations beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) without a human operator on-site. With a strong footprint in the US market and worldwide, we believe that OAS is well-positioned with proven technology, a unique offering, and strong capabilities to strategically transform critical operations with our cutting-edge drone tech and capabilities.

 

War in Israel 

 

On October 7, 2023, the State of Israel, where Airobotics’ main offices and facilities are located, suffered a surprise attack by hostile forces from the Gaza Strip, which led to the Security Cabinet of the State of Israel declaring a state of war in Israel. This military operation and related activities are on-going as of the date of this filing.

 

41

 

 

The Company has considered various ongoing risks relating to the military operation and related matters, including:

 

  That approximately 17% of the Company’s workforce in Israel was called to active duty, which temporarily reduced our workforce;

 

  That some of the Company’s Israeli subcontractors, vendors, suppliers and other companies in which the Company relies, are currently only partially active, as instructed by the relevant authorities or due to personnel shortages related to the war effort, which resulted in a temporary delay of inventory production; and

 

  A slowdown in the number of international flights in and out of Israel.

 

The Company is closely monitoring how the military operation and related activities could adversely affect its anticipated milestones and its Israel-based activities to support future operations, including the Company’s ability to import materials that are required to construct the Optimus System™ and to ship them outside of Israel. As of the date of this Report, the Company has determined that there have not been any materially adverse effects on its business or operations, but it continues to monitor the situation, as any future escalation or change could result in a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company’s Israeli office to support the Company’s activities. The Company does not have any specific contingency plans in the event of any such escalation or change.

Total  $957,851   $5,468,964   $(4,511,113)

 

Our revenues decreased by $4,511,113 to $957,851 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5,468,964 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2024, included $22,484 for products, $298,553 for maintenance, service, support, and subscriptions, and $636,814 for development agreements, mainly with Siemens. Revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2023, included $4,344,056 for products, $975,468 for maintenance, service, support, and subscriptions, and $149,440 for development agreements, mainly with Siemens. The decrease in our revenues were primarily the result of approximately $2,975,000 in decreased product sales and approximately $675,000 in decreased maintenance, service, support, and subscription revenue at OAS, who had a multi-drone order in the three months ended June 30, 2023, but no comparable sales in the three months ended June 30, 2024, and a decrease of approximately $1,346,000 in product sales to Siemens at Ondas Networks, as further orders have been delayed. These decreases were offset by an increase of approximately $485,000 in development revenue to Siemens during the three months ended June 30, 2024, related to a new development agreement at Ondas Networks.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, end of period  $4,975,374   $3,104,716 

 

The principal use of cash in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was to fund the Company’s current expenses primarily related to operating activities necessary to allow us to service and support customers. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities of $5,590,055 was primarily due to the decrease in net loss of approximately $5,268,000, of which approximately $3,822,000 related to non-cash and credits, including depreciation, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, amortization of intangibles assets and right of use asset, stock-based compensation, and change in fair value of government grant liability, combined with changes in operating assets and liabilities resulting in a cash inflow of approximately $4,144,000.

 

48

 

 

The decrease in cash flows provided by investing activities of $3,010,357, relates to an increase of approximately $2,200,000 in payments made for purchase of equipment, software intangibles and patent costs, combined with decrease of approximately $1,049,000 for cash acquired with the Airobotics acquisition in the six months end June 30, 2023, offset by the decrease of approximately $239,000 for cash paid for asset acquisitions in the six months end June 30, 2023.

 

The cash flows provided by financing activities increased by approximately $14,044,000 primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of common stock in the Company and options exercised of approximately of $3,867,000 and the sale of preferred stock in Ondas Networks of approximately $4,375,000; the increase of approximately $300,000 in cash proceeds received from government grants; combined with the decrease in cash payments of approximately $5,502,000 on the 2022 Convertible Exchange Notes, government grant liability, and Airobotics related debt. For a summary of our outstanding Long-Term Notes Payable, see Note 8 in the accompanying Notes to unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have incurred losses since inception and have funded our operations primarily through debt and the sale of capital stock. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $216,506,000. As of June 30, 2024, we had net long-term borrowings outstanding of approximately $2,502,000 net of debt discount and issuance costs of approximately $110,000 and short-term borrowings outstanding of approximately $29,427,000, net of debt discount and issuance costs of approximately $4,975,000. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and restricted cash of approximately $4,975,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $22,801,000.

 

In 2023, we raised approximately $14,692,000 of net proceeds from the sale redeemable preferences shares in Ondas Networks and warrants in Ondas Holdings to third parties, and approximately $9,310,000 from a second convertible debt agreement. In February 2024, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $4,500,000 from issuing additional redeemable preference shares in Ondas Networks and warrants in Ondas Holdings to third parties, and approximately $4,050,000 from issuing common stock of Ondas Holdings and warrants in OAS.

  

We expect to fund our operations for the next twelve months from the filing date of this Report from the cash on hand as of June 30, 2024, proceeds from the 2024 financing activities discussed above, gross profits generated from revenue growth, potential prepayments from customers for purchase orders, potential proceeds from warrants issued and outstanding, and additional funds that we may seek through equity or debt offerings and/or borrowings under additional notes payable, lines of credit or other sources. There is substantial doubt that the funding plans will be successful and therefore the conditions discussed above have not been alleviated. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from August 14, 2024, the date the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued.

 

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 assurances that we will generate revenue and cash flow 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 condition or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2024, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses, as well as related disclosures. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable at the time and under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Information concerning our critical accounting policies with respect to these items is available in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since the filing of the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as summarized in Note 2 of our 2023 Form 10-K. We do not expect that the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on our accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Report, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made or to be made by us, contain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. These forward-looking statements are based on our current, reasonable expectations and assumptions, which expectations and assumptions are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.  

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1) and are not required to provide information under this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2024.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not currently involved in any legal proceeding or investigation by a governmental agency that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our actual results.

 

There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors previously disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

On June 3, 2024, we issued a warrant to purchase 662,723 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) to a consultant in consideration for services under a consulting agreement, at an exercise price of $0.72 (the “June Warrant”). The Consultant Warrant has an expiration date of June 3, 2029.

 

On June 21, 2024, we entered into a Services Agreement with AM Consulting pursuant to which AM Consulting agreed to provide us consulting services as set forth in a statement of work (“Statement of Work”).

The Consultant Warrants have an expiration date of June 21, 2029.

 

We relied on exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Rule 506(b) of Regulation D and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, with respect to the issuance of the June Warrant and Consultant Warrants.
