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,” 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 closed an acquisition, described below, changed our name to Ondas Holdings Inc., and Ondas Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ondas Networks”), became our sole focus and wholly owned subsidiary. The corporate headquarters for Ondas Holdings and operational headquarters for Ondas Networks is located in Sunnyvale, California.

 

We have two wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) Ondas Networks, our operating company, originally incorporated in Delaware on February 16, 2006 under the name Full Spectrum Inc., subsequently changed to Ondas Networks Inc. on August 10, 2018, and (ii) FS Partners (Cayman) Limited, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“FS Partners”). We have one majority owned subsidiary, Full Spectrum Holding Limited, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“FS Holding”), which owned 100% of Ondas Network Limited, organized in Chengdu Province, China. FS Partners and Ondas Network Limited were both formed for the purpose of operating in China. As of December 31, 2019, we revised our business strategy, discontinuing all operations in China. On June 2, 2020, Ondas Network Limited was deregistered by the authority of the Chengdu High-Tech Zone, Market Supervision Administration. We are in the process of dissolving FS Partners and FS Holding and expect the process to be completed by the end of September 2020.

 

Business Activity

 

Ondas Networks’ wireless networking products are applicable to a wide range of mission critical operations that require secure communications over large geographic areas. We provide 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).

 

We design, develop, manufacture, sell and support FullMAX, our multi-patented, state-of-the-art, point-to-multipoint, Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform for secure, licensed, private, wide-area broadband networks. Our customers purchase FullMAX system solutions to deploy wide-area intelligent networks (WANs) for smart grids, smart pipes, smart fields and other mission critical networks that need internet protocol connectivity. We sell our products and services globally through a direct sales force and value-added sales partners to critical infrastructure providers including electric and gas utilities, water and wastewater utilities, oil and gas producers and pipeline operators, and for other critical infrastructure applications in areas such as homeland security and defense, and transportation. In addition, in the second quarter of 2020, our FullMAX platform began to be deployed to provide command and control connectivity solutions for drones and unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

 

Our business consists of a single segment of products and services all of which are sold and provided in the United States and certain international markets.

 

Siemens Mobility, Inc. Agreements

 

On April 23, 2020, effective April 24, 2020, the Company and Siemens Mobility, Inc. (“Siemens”) (the “Parties”) entered into a Joint Development Agreement (the “JDA”) and a Brand Label and Master Purchase Agreement (the “BLA”). The JDA calls for the joint development of (i) a dual-mode 900 MHz over-the-air ATCS compatible, MC-IoT capable base station radio and (ii) a dual-purpose 900 MHz, over-the-air ATCS compatible, MC-IoT capable wayside radio. The BLA calls for the purchase by Siemens of certain products developed under the JDA to create a Siemens-branded portfolio of wireless radio communication systems to the North American Rail Market. These agreements follow a Letter of Intent entered into by the Parties on November 19, 2019 wherein the Company would begin preliminary work to establish (i) project scope, (ii) project management plan, (ii) project schedule, (iv) system requirements specifications, and (v) software containerization requirements specifications.

 

The Acquisition

 

On September 28, 2018, we entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Zev Merger Sub, Inc. and Ondas Networks to acquire Ondas Networks. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated on September 28, 2018 (the “Closing”), and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of common stock of Ondas Networks, $0.00001 par value per share, (the “Ondas Networks Shares”), were exchanged for shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Company Shares”). Accordingly, Ondas Networks became our wholly owned subsidiary and its business became the business of the Company.

ONDAS HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

At the Closing, each Ondas Networks Share outstanding immediately prior to the Closing was converted into 3.823 Company Shares (the “Exchange Ratio”), with all fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. Accordingly, we issued an aggregate of 25,463,732 Company Shares for all of the then-outstanding Ondas Networks Shares.

 

In connection with the Closing, we amended and restated our articles of incorporation, effective September 28, 2018 to (i) change our name to Ondas Holdings Inc. and (ii) increase our authorized capital to 360,000,000 shares, consisting of 350,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. In connection with the Acquisition, our trading symbol changed to “ONDS” effective at the opening of business on October 5, 2018.

 

Also in connection with the Closing, (i) our sole director appointed additional individuals, who previously were members of the board of directors of Ondas Networks and its chief executive officer, to serve on our Board, and our Board subsequently appointed executive officers; (ii) the former holders of the Ondas Networks Shares executed lock-up agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”), which provided for an initial 12-month lock-up period, commencing with the date of the Closing, with a subsequent 12-month limited sale period; (iii) we entered into a Common Stock Repurchase Agreement with Energy Capital, LLC, a current stockholder of the Company (“Energy Capital”), pursuant to which the entity sold an aggregate of 32.6 million Company Shares (the “Repurchase Shares”) to us at $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate consideration of $3,260, which Repurchase Shares were canceled and returned to our authorized but unissued shares; (iv) our Board approved, and our stockholders adopted, the 2018 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2018 Plan”) pursuant to which 10 million Company Shares have been reserved for issuance to employees, including officers, directors and consultants; and (v) we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Energy Capital, pursuant to which Energy Capital agreed to lend us an aggregate principal amount of up to $10 million, subject to specified conditions.

 

On August 30, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Lock-Up Agreements (the “Amendment”) with stockholders owning an aggregate of 24,428,681 of the Company Shares, representing 41% of the Company’s then outstanding shares of common stock. The Amendment revised the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements to extend the lock-up period to September 28, 2020 and eliminated the 12-month limited sale period.

 

In accordance with ASC 805-40, Reverse Acquisitions, the historical capital stock account of Ondas Networks immediately prior to the Closing was carried forward and retroactively adjusted to reflect the par value of the outstanding stock of the Company, including the number of shares issued in the Closing as we are the surviving legal entity. Additionally, retained earnings of Ondas Networks has been carried forward after the Closing. All share and per share amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio in connection with the Acquisition.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

We have incurred losses since inception and have funded our operations primarily through debt and the sale of capital stock. At June 30, 2020, we had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $16,401,000. At June 30, 2020, we had short- and long-term borrowings outstanding of approximately $10,685,000 and $947,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, we had cash of approximately $44,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $16,295,000.

 

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 manufacturer and deliver equipment on those purchase orders. These activities, including our planned research and development efforts, will require significant uses of working capital through the end of 2020 and beyond. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash at the time of this filing and cash received under the Paycheck Protection Program (see NOTE 8 for further details) will only be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating needs through September 8, 2020.

Accounting standards require management to evaluate the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year subsequent to the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q (“evaluation period”). As such, we have evaluated if cash on hand and cash generated through operating activities would be sufficient to sustain projected operating activities through August 17, 2021. We anticipate that our current resources will be insufficient to meet our cash requirements throughout the evaluation period, including funding anticipated losses and scheduled debt maturities. We expect to seek additional funds from a combination of dilutive and/or nondilutive financings in the future. Because such transactions have not been finalized, receipt of additional funding is not considered probable under current accounting standards. If we do not generate sufficient cash flows from operations and obtain sufficient funds when needed, we expect that we would scale back our operating plan by deferring or limiting some, or all, of our capital spending, and/or eliminating planned headcount additions, as well as other cost reductions to be determined. Because such contingency plans have not been finalized (the specifics would depend on the situation at the time), such actions are also not considered probable for purposes of current accounting standards. Because, under current accounting standards, neither future cash generated from operating activities, nor management’s contingency plans to mitigate the risk and extend cash resources through the evaluation period, are considered probable, substantial doubt is deemed to exist about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As we continue to incur losses, our transition to profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. We may never achieve profitability, and unless and until doing so, we intend to fund future operations through additional dilutive or non-dilutive financings. There can be no assurances; however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

The financial information contained in these financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. This financial information and these financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

COVID-19

 

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

 

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations were impacted from the COVID-19 pandemic during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as follows:

 

Sales and marketing efforts were disrupted as our business development team was unable to travel to visit customers and customers were unable to receive visitors for on-location meetings;
Field activity for testing and deploying our wireless systems was delayed due to the inability for our field service team to install and test equipment for our customers;
Supply chain disruptions led to component shortages and inefficiencies in and delays in producing and delivering equipment for certain purchase orders; and
Delays in fulfilling purchase orders reduced our cash flow from operations.

 

The Company expects its business, financial conditions and results of operations will be impacted from the COVID-19 pandemic for the remainder of 2020. As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the full extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on its future business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company may also be unable to comply with the financial and other material covenants under its debt agreements and may not be able to negotiate waivers or amendments to such debt agreements in order to maintain ongoing compliance. In addition, if the Company experiences any additional unexpected delays in the resumption of its full operations, or incurs additional unanticipated costs and expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, such operational delays and unanticipated costs and expenses will have a further adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations in 2020.

 

On March 27, 2020, in connection with the global health and economic crisis connected to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a voluntary 90% reduction in the base salaries of both Eric A. Brock, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Stewart Kantor, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary. These reductions were in effect from March 20, 2020 through May 19, 2020. We also announced that in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, we reduced our business activity to critical operations only, and furloughed 80% of our workforce. Per orders issued by the Health Officer of the County of Santa Clara, our corporate headquarters were closed, except for functions related to the support of remote workers and product support related to the transportation sector.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act is an approximately $2 trillion emergency economic stimulus package in response to the Coronavirus outbreak, which among other things contains numerous income tax provisions. Some of these tax provisions are expected to be effective retroactively for years ending before the date of enactment. The Company applied for and received funds under the Paycheck Protection Program in the approximate amount of $660,000 on May 6, 2020. The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to consider its current business activity and ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan related to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on our future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

 

On May 13, 2020, we reopened our corporate headquarters, 12 of our furloughed employees returned, and the remaining five employees remain on furlough.

 

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, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”). The Company’s accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2019 Form 10-K and are updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The December 31, 2019 condensed 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 three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Ondas Networks and FS Partners, and our majority owned subsidiary, FS Holding. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions between these entities have been eliminated in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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 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.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories, which consist solely of equipment components, 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we determined that no such reserves were necessary.

Finished Goods   47,075    55,415 
TOTAL INVENTORY  $957,022   $427,516 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our financial instruments consist primarily of receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short- and long-term debt. The carrying amount of receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates our fair value because of the short-term maturity of such instruments.

 

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.

 

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no instruments requiring a fair value determination.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of equity financings, these costs are recorded in stockholders’ deficit as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the offering. Should the planned equity financings be abandoned, the deferred offering costs are expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed financing costs of $0 and $120,632, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company expensed financing costs of $0 and $270,632, respectively.

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective method with respect to all non-completed contracts. Revenues and contract assets and liabilities for contracts completed prior to January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 606 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The new guidance is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgment and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or internal controls over financial reporting.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020 and 2019, there were no modifications to contract specifications.

 

The Company is engaged in the development, marketing and sale of wireless radio systems for secure, wide area mission-critical, business-to-business networks. We generate 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.

 

Product revenue is comprised of sales of the Company’s software defined base station and remote radios, its network management and monitoring system, and accessories. The Company’s 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 provide 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.

 

Service revenue is comprised of separately priced extended warranty sales, network support and maintenance, remote monitoring, as well as ancillary services directly related to the sale of the Company’s wireless communications products including wireless network design, systems engineering, radio frequency planning, software configuration, product training, installation, and onsite support. The extended warranty we sell provides a level of assurance beyond the coverage for defects that existed at the time of a sale or against certain types of covered damage. The extended warranty includes 1) factory hardware repair or replacement of the base station and remote radios, at our election, 2) software upgrades, bug fixes and new features of the radio software and NMS, 3) deployment and network architecture support, and 4) technical support by phone and email. Extended warranty, network support and maintenance, and remote monitoring revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the service contract. 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. With respect to extended warranty sales and remote monitoring, the Company applies the input method using straight-line recognition.

Development revenue is comprised primarily of non-recurring engineering service contracts to develop software and hardware applications for various customers. A significant portion of this revenue is generated through one contract with a customer whereby the Company will develop such applications to interoperate within the customers infrastructure. For this contract, the Company and the customer work cooperatively, whereby the customer’s 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 Company and customer technology. This development contract is in effect until March 31, 2021, at which time the Company will grant the customer an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, and exclusive right to market, offer for sale, sell, and resell the developed product without restriction. Development revenue is recognized as services are provided over the life of the contract as the Company has an enforceable right to payment for services completed to date and there is no alternative use of the product.

 

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.

 

Our payment terms vary and range from Net 15 to Net 30 days from the date of the invoices for product and services related revenue. Our payment terms for the majority of our development related revenue carry milestone related payment obligations which span the contract life of fifteen months. For milestone-based contracts, the customer reviews the work completed as of the most recent milestone date and once approved, makes payment on the upcoming milestone in advance of work being performed.

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 our right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that we have transferred or provided to a customer is conditional on something other than the passage of time. We did not have any contract assets recorded at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

 

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, 2020, and the year ended December 31, 2019, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

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 wordsmanship only. If a warranted software or hardware component is determined to be defective after being tested by the Company, 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 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are immaterial to the Company’s financial statements.

 

Leases

 

Under Topic 842, operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly over the term of the lease. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had operating leases primarily consisting of two office space leases in Sunnyvale, California (the “North Pastoria Lease” and the “Gibraltar Lease”) (collectively, the “Sunnyvale Leases”). During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had the Sunnyvale Leases and a property lease in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, People’s Republic of China (the “Chengdu Lease”). In December 2019, in conjunction with the closure of Ondas Networks Limited, the Chengdu Lease was terminated. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining terms for the Sunnyvale Leases range from six months on the North Pastoria Lease and eight months on the Gibraltar Lease.

 

In March 2019, the North Pastoria Lease was abandoned and the likelihood of entering into a sublease agreement for the property was minimal; therefore, the Right to Use Asset value of $259,926 was considered impaired and the amount was charged to asset impairment on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On January 24, 2020, the Company and a third party (the “Sublessee”) entered a Sublease agreement (the “Sublease”) on the North Pastoria Lease, wherein the Sublessee will occupy the premises through December 31, 2020. The Sublessee will make rent payments of approximately $9,666 and management fee payments of approximately $457 per month beginning February 1, 2020, and a one-time security deposit equal to two months rent, or $19,332. Sublease rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $31,281 and $50,613, respectively.

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at the inception of the arrangement. If we determine the arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at lease inception, we then determine whether the lease is an operating lease or financial lease. Operating and finance leases result in recording a right-of-us (“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 utilized the consolidated group incremental borrowing rate for all leases, as we have centralized treasury operations. 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.

NOTE 7 –SECURED PROMISSORY NOTES

 

Steward Capital Holdings LP

 

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

 

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

 

On June 18, 2019, the Company and Steward Capital entered into a letter of agreement to amend the Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to (i) extend and amend the Maturity Date, as defined in Section 1.1 of the Agreement, to read in its entirety “means September 9, 2020” (ii) waive the repayment requirement to Steward Capital under Section 2.3 of the Agreement, in connection with the then proposed public offering of the Company as described in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, originally filed on April 12, 2019, and (iii) waive the restriction by Steward Capital on the prepayment of Indebtedness under Section 7.4 of the Agreement. In connection with the waivers, extension and amendment, the Company agreed to pay to Steward Capital, upon the earlier of (a) the completion of the public offering as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Agreement and (b) ten (10) days following the Company’s receipt of Steward’s written demand therefor, a fee equal to three percent (3%) of the current outstanding principal balance of the Loan (as defined in the Agreement), neither of which have occurred at the time of this filing. The Company concluded that the modifications created by the First Amendment resulted in a troubled debt restructuring under Accounting Standard Codification—Debt (Topic 470) as it was determined that a concession was granted by Steward Capital. However, as the future payments to be made subsequent to the modification are greater than the carrying value at the time of the modification, no gain or loss was required to be recognized on the troubled debt restructuring. As the difference between the effective interest rate method and the straight-line method is deemed immaterial, the Company will continue to amortize the deferred loan costs using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the Loan.

On October 28, 2019, the Company and Steward Capital entered into a letter of agreement to amend the Agreement, as amended (the “Second Amendment”) wherein the parties agreed to (i) extend and amend the due date for all accrued and unpaid interest starting September 2, 2019 to the Maturity Date (September 9, 2020) and (ii) extend and amend the due date for the 3% fee payable to Steward Capital in connection with the First Amendment and waiver dated June 2019 to be payable on the Maturity Date. In connection with the extensions and amendments, the Company issued Steward Capital 120,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $300,000 on December 15, 2019. The value was recorded as debt discount and amortized over the life of the Loan. The Company concluded that the modifications created by the Second Amendment resulted in a troubled debt restructuring under Accounting Standard Codification—Debt (Topic 470) as it was determined that a concession was granted by Steward Capital. However, as the future payments to be made subsequent to the modification are greater than the carrying value at the time of the modification, no gain or loss was required to be recognized on the troubled debt restructuring. As the difference between the effective interest rate method and the straight-line method is deemed immaterial, the Company will continue to amortize the deferred loan costs using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the Loan.

 

The Agreement also contains covenants which included certain restrictions with respect to subsequent indebtedness, liens, loans and investments, asset sales and share repurchases and other restricted payments, subject to certain exceptions. The Agreement also contained financial reporting obligations. An event of default under the Agreement includes, but is not limited to, breach of covenants, insolvency, and occurrence of any default under any agreement or obligation of the Company. In addition, the Agreement contained a customary material adverse effect clause which states that in the event of a material adverse effect, an event of default would occur, and the lender has the option to accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the loan. A material adverse effect is defined in the Agreement as a material change in our business, operations, properties, assets or financial condition or a material impairment of its ability to perform all obligations under its Agreement.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the principal balance was $10,000,000, net of debt discount of $70,981 and accreted cost of $496,631. As of December 31, 2019, the principal balance was $10,000,000, net of debt discount of $252,933 and accreted cost of $359,828. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, accrued interest was $1,036,320 and $437,569, respectively, and included accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the balance sheet in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $284,375 and $598,750, respectively.

Promissory Notes

 

On February 15 and June 7, 2016, the Company entered into two 10%, 18-month promissory notes for $100,000 each with an individual (the “Promissory Notes”). Pursuant to several amendments to the Promissory Notes through July 2019, (i) the Promissory Notes were extended to September 30, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”), (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the Promissory Notes totaling $39,921 was transferred to principal, and (iii) interest will be accrued from August 2019 through the Maturity Date. The principal balance of the Promissory Notes at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $239,921. Accrued interest at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $21,993 and $9,997, respectively. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $5,998 and $11,996, respectively. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $5,803 and $11,465, respectively.

 

Convertible Promissory Notes

 

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

 

At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the total outstanding balance of the convertible promissory note (the “Note”) was $300,000. The maturity date of the Note is based on the payment of 0.6% of quarterly gross revenue until 1.5 times the amount of the Note is paid. Accrued interest at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $36,508 and $31,243, respectively. Interest expense for the three and six months ended both June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $11,250 and $22,500, respectively.

On September 27, 2019, the holder of the Note was granted a warrant to purchase 140,678 shares of common stock of the Company. The fair value of this warrant was recorded as financing costs in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. See NOTE 9 for further details.

 

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

 

On May 4, 2020, the Company applied for a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The loan, in the principal amount of approximately $666,000 (the “PPP Loan”), was disbursed by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Lender”) on May 6, 2020, pursuant to a Paycheck Protection Program Promissory Note and Agreement (the “Note and Agreement”).

 

The PPP Loan matures on the two-year anniversary of the funding date and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), will commence after the six-month anniversary of the funding date. The Company did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the PPP Loan, nor did the Company pay any facility charge to obtain the PPP Loan. The Note and Agreement provides for customary events of default, including those relating to failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and material adverse effects. The Company may prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment charges.

 

All or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the SBA upon application to the Lender by the Company within 10 months after the last day of the covered period. The Lender will have 90 days to review borrower’s forgiveness application and the SBA will have an additional 60 days to review the Lender’s decision as to whether the borrower’s loan may be forgiven. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, and covered utilities, and certain covered mortgage interest payments during the twenty-four-week period beginning on the date of the first disbursement of the PPP Loan. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee earning more than $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 40% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. Although the Company currently believes that its use of the PPP Loan will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the PPP Loan, the Company cannot assure that the PPP Loan will be forgiven, in whole or in part.

 

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Preferred Stock

 

At June 30, 2020, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001, authorized for issuance, of which no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

At June 30, 2020, the Company had 350,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”) authorized for issuance, of which 59,268,085 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

 

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

 

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

Restricted Stock Purchase Offers

 

On June 3, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement wherein restricted stock purchase offers (“RSU(s)”) for the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, with deferred distribution, was granted and issued to Thomas V. Bushey, the Company’s President, pursuant to the 2018 Plan. Stock-based compensation expense for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,050,000. Non-vested RSUs as of June 30, 2020 totaled 2,625,000 shares. The weighted average grant-date fair value for the RSU is $2.80. The weighted average vesting period of the RSU is 2.0 years. As of June 30, 2020, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the RSU was $7,350,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.75 years.

 

During 2018, the Company entered into an agreement wherein RSUs for the issuance of 378,478 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, with deferred distribution, was promised to a consultant pursuant to the 2018 Plan. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $10,120 and $20,240, respectively. The Company has not yet executed the RSU agreement with the consultant. Non-vested RSUs as of June 30, 2020 totaled 47,308 shares. The weighted average grant-date fair value for the RSU is $0.22. The weighted average vesting period of the RSU is 2.0 years. As of June 30, 2020, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the RSU was $10,117, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.25 years.

 

The Company recognizes RSU 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.

 

NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

We may be involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. There are no such loss contingencies that are included in the financial statements as of June 30, 2020.

 

NOTE 11 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Between April 16 and December 31, 2019, we accrued $141,667 in salary for Eric Brock, our Chief Executive Officer. On March 12, 2020, Mr. Brock waived the accrued salary.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In connection with the Closing, Eric Brock, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer purchased 157,500 shares of Series A Preferred. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the Closing was $3.0 million. After payment of offering expenses, the net proceeds to the Company from the Closing was approximately $2.9 million.

 

 

 

ONDAS HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Investors for liabilities arising out of or relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company or its subsidiary in the Purchase Agreements or related documents or (ii) any action instituted against an Investor with respect to the Offering, subject to certain exceptions. The Purchase Agreements also contains customary representations and warranties and covenants of the Company and was subject to customary closing conditions.

 

The Series A Preferred were offered and sold exclusively to accredited investors in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as a transaction not involving a public offering, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Investors represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates and book entry statements issued in the transaction. The offer and sale of the securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.

 

Certificate of Designation Series A Preferred Stock

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

General

 

The following discussion and analysis provide information which our management believes to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of the results of operations and financial condition of Ondas Holdings Inc. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”). This discussion should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes included therein, which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”). This information should also be read in conjunction with the information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 13, 2020, including the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included therein as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. For a description of factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, please refer to the below section of this Report titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” The reported results will not necessarily reflect future results of operations or financial condition. Unless otherwise defined herein, all initially capitalized terms herein shall be as defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Overview

 

Ondas Holdings Inc. was originally incorporated in Nevada on December 22, 2014 under the name of Zev Ventures Incorporated (“Zev Ventures”). On September 28, 2018, we consummated a reverse acquisition transaction to acquire a privately held company, Ondas Networks Inc., and changed our name from “Zev Ventures Incorporated” to “Ondas Holdings Inc.” As a result, Ondas Networks Inc. (“Ondas Networks”) became our wholly owned subsidiary and we refer to this transaction as the “Acquisition.” In connection with the closing of the Acquisition, we discontinued the prior business of Zev Ventures as a reseller of sporting and concert tickets and our sole business became that of Ondas Networks.

 

COVID-19

 

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

 

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations were impacted from the COVID-19 pandemic during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as follows:

 

Sales and marketing efforts were disrupted as our business development team was unable to travel to visit customers and customers were unable to receive visitors for on-location meetings;
Field activity for testing and deploying our wireless systems was delayed due to the inability for our field service team to install and test equipment for our customers;
Supply chain disruptions led to component shortages and inefficiencies in and delays in producing and delivering equipment for certain purchase orders; and
Delays in fulfilling purchase orders reduced our cash flow from operations.

 

The Company expects its business, financial condition and results of operations will be impacted from the COVID-19 pandemic for the remainder of 2020.  As of the filing of this Report on Form 10-Q, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the full extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on its future business, financial condition and results of operations.  The Company may also be unable to comply with the financial and other material covenants under its debt agreements and may not be able to negotiate waivers or amendments to such debt agreements in order to maintain ongoing compliance. In addition, if the Company experiences any additional unexpected delays in the resumption of its full operations, or incurs additional unanticipated costs and expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, such operational delays and unanticipated costs and expenses will have a further adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations in 2020.

 

In the first quarter of 2020, we reduced our business activity to critical operations only, and furloughed 80% of our workforce. Per orders issued by the Health Officer of the County of Santa Clara, our corporate headquarters were closed, except for functions related to the support of remote workers and product support related to the transportation sector.

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act is an approximately $2 trillion emergency economic stimulus package in response to the Coronavirus outbreak, which among other things contains numerous income tax provisions. Some of these tax provisions are expected to be effective retroactively for years ending before the date of enactment. The Company has applied for, and has received, funds under the Paycheck Protection Program after the period end in the approximate amount of $666,000. The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to consider its current business activity and ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan related to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on our future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

 

On May 13, 2020, we reopened our corporate headquarters, 12 of our furloughed employees returned, and the remaining five employees remain on furlough.

Products and Services

 

Ondas Networks’ wireless networking products are applicable to a wide range of mission critical operations that require secure communications over large geographic areas. We provide 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).

 

We design, develop, manufacture, sell and support FullMAX, our multi-patented, state-of-the-art, point-to-multipoint, Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform for secure, licensed, private, wide-area broadband networks. Our customers purchase FullMAX system solutions to deploy wide-area intelligent networks (WANs) for smart grids, smart pipes, smart fields and other mission critical networks that need internet protocol connectivity. We sell our products and services globally through a direct sales force and value-added sales partners to critical infrastructure providers including electric and gas utilities, water and wastewater utilities, oil and gas producers and pipeline operators, and for other critical infrastructure applications in areas such as homeland security and defense, and transportation. In addition, in the second quarter of 2020, our FullMAX platform began to be deployed to provide command and control connectivity solutions for drones and unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

 

We are dedicated to promoting standards-based wireless connectivity solutions for our customers. Our FullMAX platform is compliant with the mission critical wireless Industrial Internet IEEE 802.16s. The specifications in the IEEE 802.16s standard are primarily based on our FullMAX technology, and many of our customers and industrial partners actively supported our technology during the IEEE standards-making process. In January 2020, a new working group was launched by the IEEE to establish IEEE 802.16t, a further evolution of this wireless standard. The IEEE 802.16t working group includes industry-leading trade organizations such as the Utilities Technology Council (UTC) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), as well as representation from world-leading transportation and oil and gas companies. We expect our technology to remain a prominent feature of this evolving standard.

 

We believe that the published standard has been instrumental in broadening the appeal of our FullMAX platform globally across all critical infrastructure markets. Since the publishing of IEEE 802.16s in November 2017, there has been a significant increase in interest from customers in end markets including oil and gas, water and wastewater, transportation and homeland security, as well as for the command and control of industrial drones. We believe we are currently the only supplier able to offer IEEE 802.16s compliant systems and are actively working with customers and industry partners to help develop and support a multi-vendor MC-IoT industry ecosystem for this standard.

 

Our FullMAX system of wireless base stations, fixed and mobile remote radios and supporting technology is designed to enable highly secure and reliable industrial-grade connectivity for truly mission-critical applications. The target customers for our products operate in critical infrastructure sectors of the global economy. Private wireless networks are typically the preferred choice of these large industrial customers with business operations spanning large field areas. Private networks provide enhanced protection against cyber terrorism, as well as natural and man-made disasters, and the ability for the operator to maintain and control their desired quality of service. Our IEEE 802.16s compliant equipment is designed to optimize performance of unused or underutilized low frequency licensed radio spectrum and narrower channels. A FullMAX wireless network is significantly less expensive to build compared to traditional LTE and 5G networks given its ability to optimize the performance of lower cost radio spectrums (non-traditional LTE and 5G bands) and provide much greater coverage. In many of our industrial end markets, the adoption of low-cost edge computing and increased penetration of “smart machinery” and sensors is driving demand for next-generation networks for IoT applications such as those powered by FullMAX.

 

Effective April 24, 2020, we entered into a strategic partnership with Siemens Mobility, Inc., a separately managed company of Siemens AG (“Siemens”), to jointly develop wireless communications products for the North American Rail Industry by integrating Siemens’ Advanced Train Control System (“ATCS”) protocol with our MC-IoT platform to create (i) a dual-mode 900 MHz over-the-air ATCS compatible, MC-IoT capable base station radio and (ii) a dual-purpose 900 MHz, over-the-air ATCS compatible, MC-IoT capable wayside ratio. These dual-mode ATCS/MC-IoT radio systems will support Siemens’ extensive installed base of ATCS radios and offer Siemens’ customers the ability to support a host of new advanced rail applications utilizing Ondas’ MC-IoT wireless system. These new applications, including Advanced Grade Crossing Activation and Monitoring, Wayside Inspection, Railcar Monitoring and support for next generation signaling and train control systems, are designed to increase railroad productivity, reduce costs and improve safety. The new ATCS-compatible products will be introduced in two phases, including a field-selectable ATCS or MC-IoT remote radio, which we expect to be available in the fourth quarter of 2020. Siemens began to market and sell Siemens-branded MC-IoT wireless systems based on our technology platforms to the North American Rail industry in the second quarter 2020. We expect to explore the joint development of additional rail products with Siemens.

 

Our FullMAX platform has been selected by a customer to be the connectivity backbone for the deployment of a nationwide wireless network for operators of unmanned aircraft systems (“UAS”). This network will enable the command and control of industrial and commercial drones. The unique air interface protocol and narrow channel capability of FullMAX offers significant value in the command and control function required to safely and economically operate many drones on a single network. Upon commercialization, we expect our FullMAX platform to be scalable to simultaneously manage hundreds of drones per tower site flying beyond visual line of site (BVLOS) missions throughout the U.S. airspace. We began shipping our FullMAX platform to the UAS customer in the second quarter of 2020. Our UAS customer will complete the initial network deployment in the third quarter of 2020, providing coverage over the entire U.S. airspace using our high-powered, terrestrial base stations.

 

22

 

 

In addition to selling our FullMAX solutions for dedicated private wide area networks, we offer mission-critical wireless services to industrial customers and municipalities in the form of a Managed Private Network in select regions. In June 2019, we acquired 2 MHz of licensed spectrum in the 700 MHz band for the State of Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico and multiple counties bordering the Gulf. We are now offering mission-critical wireless connectivity and secured initial customers in these regions, which consist of 900,000 square miles of surface area. In addition, we have demonstration networks in the New York metropolitan area and in Northern California in association with a nationwide spectrum owner in the 200 MHz band. Collectively, these 200 MHz demonstration networks cover tens of thousands of square miles in some of the nation’s most strategic economic areas.

 

Our business consists of a single segment of products and services all of which are sold and provided in the United States and certain international markets.

Summary of (Uses) and Sources of Cash

 

   Six Months Ended
March 31,
 
   2020   2019 
Net cash used in operating activities  $(2,765,865)  $(8,511,136)
Net cash used in investing activities   (9,290)   (321,217)
Net cash provided by financing activities   666,091    8,282,650

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period  $43,964   $590,902 

 

The principal use of cash in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was to fund the Company’s current expenses primarily related to sales and marketing and research and development activities necessary to allow us to service and support customers. The decrease in cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $5,745,000 is primarily a result of a reduced headcount, reduced travel and entertainment expense and lower product development spending. Cash flows used in investing activities decreased by approximately $312,000 primarily due to a reduction in capital spending. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities of approximately $7,617,000 is a result of a reduction in funding activities partially offset by funds provided by the Payroll Protection Program.

For a summary of our outstanding short-term and long-term loans, see NOTES 7 and 8 in the accompanying 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. At June 30, 2020, we had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $16,401,000. At June 30, 2020, we had short- and long-term borrowings outstanding of approximately $10,685,000 and $947,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, we had cash of approximately $44,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $16,295,000.

 

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 manufacturer and deliver equipment on those purchase orders. These activities, including our planned research and development efforts, will require significant uses of working capital through the end of 2020 and beyond. Based on our current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash at the time of this filing, and cash received under the Paycheck Protection Program (see NOTE 8 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details) will only be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating needs through September 8, 2020.

 

Accounting standards require management to evaluate the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year subsequent to the date of the filing of this Report (“evaluation period”). As such, we have evaluated if cash on hand and cash generated through operating activities would be sufficient to sustain projected operating activities through August 17, 2021. We anticipate that our current resources will be insufficient to meet our cash requirements throughout the evaluation period, including funding anticipated losses and scheduled debt maturities. We expect to seek additional funds from a combination of dilutive and/or nondilutive financings in the future. Because such transactions have not been finalized, receipt of additional funding is not considered probable under current accounting standards. If we do not generate sufficient cash flows from operations and obtain sufficient funds when needed, we expect that we would scale back our operating plan by deferring or limiting some, or all, of our capital spending and/or eliminating planned headcount additions, as well as other cost reductions to be determined. Because such contingency plans have not been finalized (the specifics would depend on the situation at the time), such actions are also not considered probable for purposes of current accounting standards. Because, under current accounting standards, neither future cash generated from operating activities, nor management’s contingency plans to mitigate the risk and extend cash resources through the evaluation period, are considered probable, substantial doubt is deemed to exist about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As we continue to incur losses, our transition to profitability is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. We may never achieve profitability, and unless and until doing so, we intend to fund future operations through additional dilutive or non-dilutive financings. There can be no assurances; however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2020 (the “2019 Form 10-K”). There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting polies since the filing of the Form 10-K.

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, 2020. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2020, due to the existence of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our senior management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our Board, senior management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We continue to review our internal control over financial reporting and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the control deficiencies identified during this evaluation and set forth below, our senior management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020 due to the existence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described below.

 

As set forth below, management will continue to take steps to remediate the control deficiencies identified below. Notwithstanding the control deficiencies described below, we have performed additional analyses and other procedures to enable management to conclude that our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition and results of operations as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

 

Material Weakness

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Management has determined that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020 due to the existence of the following material weakness identified by management:

 

29

 

 

Lack of Segregation of Duties and Accounting Resources

 

Due to our limited accounting staff, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were responsible for initiating transactions, had custody of assets, recorded transactions and prepared financial reports. Therefore, it was determined that the Company had inadequate segregation of duties in place related to its financial reporting and other management oversight procedures due to the lack of accounting resources.

 

Accordingly, management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness. During 2019, management began implementing the Remediation Plan described herein and intends to continue working on it through the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Management’s Remediation Plan

 

Management believes that progress has been made during the three months ended June 30, 2020, and through the date of this report, to remediate the underlying causes of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Management intends to remediate the material weakness in the following manner:

 

Identify and employ full time additional senior level accounting personnel to join the corporate accounting function in order to enhance overall monitoring and accounting oversight within the Company;
continue to engage third-party subject matter experts to aid in identifying and applying US GAAP rules related to complex financial instruments as well as to enhance the financial reporting function;
design and implement additional internal controls and policies to ensure that we routinely review and document our application of established significant accounting policies; and
implement additional systems and technologies to enhance the timeliness and reliability of financial data within the organization.

 

Changes in Internal control over financial reporting

 

Other than the Remediation Plan set forth above, 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 three months ended June 30, 2020 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.
